Dick awoke laying on a meatal table he sat up and looked at everyone else Oliver had an angry expression on his face.

"What the hell were you thinking?" he asked, "Taking on Slade Wilson, you do know he's former Australian military right?"

"And you do realize my mentor is trained in every martial art right. I can handle myself." Dick said.

"Not Slade." Oliver said.

"Even Slade." Dick said.

"You sound so certain how do you know?" Oliver asked.

"Because I've fought him before many times." Dick said standing up and walking to his change of clothes.

"Alright Titans listen up." Robin said over his comlink to his fellow Teen Titans, "We need to split up I don't care who works with who as long as Deathstroke is mine." He said.

"Roger that be careful Robin." Starfire said.

Robin chuckled, "When am I ever?" he said, "Titans go...radio silent." He said getting on his motorbike and drove head on into battle he jumped off his motorbike when he was near Deathstroke.

"Robin." Slade said, "Here to meet your end?"

"You know I won't go down without a fight." Slade drew his staff Robin combined his Escrima sticks and the two staffs clashed.

Dick woke up and stretched hafter he got out of bed walked into the bathroom to take a shower when he walked out Oliver was in the room, "Hello Richard." he said.

"Yikes don't you know what do not disturb means?" Dick asked annoyed, "What do you want?"

"We got a call from S.T.A.R. Labs it was both Venom and Mirakuru, but that's not why I'm here." Oliver said.

"Why are you?" Dick asked.

"I'm here to tell you if you keep being the only person protecting Blüdhaven it will fall and you along with it I learned I needed help so that is why I have Diggle, Roy, and Thea to help me in the field." Oliver said then put a hand on Dick, "Trust me you can't do this alone Roy has told me what Blüdhaven is like and it can't be saved alone. If you try to do this alone you will fail that city." Later in the Foundry Dick was punching the dummy harder than anyone had he almost broke it.

"Dick calm down." Barbara said, "You're about to break that thing. He was right you know."

Dick sighed and looked at Barbara, "Babs I've been doing fine so far how does the search for the drug go?" he asked.

"We found the drug dealers hideout he's calling it Viper." Barbara said, "Team Arrow is suited up they're waiting on you." Oracle smiled Dick walked to the glass case that housed his suit and gadgets.

"Nightwing's on his way." Felicity said to Team Arrow, "Hopefully" she said looking at Oracle.

"He's like five minuets out." Oracle said.

"Then he has four to get here." The Arrow said trying to hold off Viper Monsters all of a sudden smoke started to fill the room in the chaos they heard a lot of Monsters dropping when the smoke cleared Nightwing was in the room.

"Why do I always have to save your asses?" Nightwing asked.

"You haven't saved us enough to have the right to ask that question yet." The Arrow said then dropped down from the crate he was standing on, "Let's go." Arrow said as Arsenal and Speedy dropped down from their crates.

Robin ducked behind an overturned car a few minutes later he heard the thud of someone falling to the ground he jumped out to see Arsenal and an arrow in Deathstroke's back, "Why do I always have to save your ass Robin? That should be Kori's job." He said as Robin walked over to him, "or is she giving you a different one." He chuckled Robin punched him and cuffed Deathstroke.

"Let's go Robin said.

"Hey Felicity…you need me to come to the office…why…what…who…okay just let me put a suit on." Oliver hung up and grabbed a spare suit.

"Oliver what happened?" Roy asked.

"Someone bought Queen Consolidated." Oliver said.

"What happened?" Barbara asked.

"You were shot and somehow slipped into a coma it's been five months, in that time Blüdhaven P.D, we got the guy that shot you, Carmine Falcone is currently in Blackgate in Gotham, speaking of Gotham I need to call your father tell him you're awake." Dick pulled out his phone and called Commissioner Gordon, Barbara's father and head of the M.C.U. in Gotham, "Hello Commish…I know it's late…I have an update in Barbara's condition…she's awake…yes sir she woke up like two minutes ago…yeah I can put her on." Dick handed the phone to Barbara she put it to her ear.

"Dad." She said, "…Yeah I'm up I can't feel my legs but I'm awake…I'm what…I'm paralyzed from the waist down…I may never walk again" Barbara started to break down crying, "…Yeah I understand…I'll see you as soon as you get down here." She hung up she looked Dick straight in the face tears rolling down her face in between sobs she asked, "What will happen to Batgirl?"


Starling City, Queen Consolidated Headquarters

Felicity paced back and forth when the elevator came up Oliver was in it, "Felicity who bought—" he stated but was cut off.

"He's in the conference room (Author's note: if you watch The Flash Dr. Wells's newspaper hint to a merger between this company and Queen Consolidated) the man was well built, had Dark Brown hair slicked back was about 6' 4" he turned when Oliver entered the Conference room, "Hello Mr. Queen." He said extending his hand, "I'm Bruce Wayne."

"Wayne Enterprise bought my company." Oliver chuckled "That's almost laughable."

"Oliver I don't want it to look like a hostile takeover, I want it to look like a merge, I don't want to look like the bad guy for that reason in Starling and any city with a Queen Consolidated building in it, it can keep that name if it wants to, I will allow you to run the business during the day, because I know you have other activates during the night." He said then made the motion of firing a bow and arrow, "Trust me Oliver I will not fail this company." He smiled and walked out.

Felicity walked in Oliver had one thing to say, "What the hell just happened?"

Carmine Falcone should have gotten out when he could for weeks now his men had been dropping like flies and delivered to the Blüdhaven Police Carmine was at his office when the lights flickered he pulled out his gun he sent two bodyguards to check five minutes past the never came back then a small ball rolled into the room smoke spewed out of it covering the entire room gunfire sounded throughout the room when the smoke cleared all the guards had shot each other and Carmine was pinned against the wall by a man in a black and blue Kevlar armored suit, "Carmine Falcone!" the man shouted, "I've got you, you sonuva bitch!" he threw him over his head over his desk and onto the floor the man pulled out his Eskrima sticks Carmine backed up.

"Wh-wh-what the hell I ever do to you?" he asked nervously.

"Four months ago you shot a redhead in apartment 1940 in the new nest apartment complex thanks to you she's now in a coma does that ring a bell?" the man asked.

"Yeah so what?" he said scared.

"So what." the man chuckled, "SO WHAT!" he shouted, "Do you have any idea who that woman is? That is Barbara Gordon G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon's daughter and girlfriend to Blüdhaven police detective Richard Grayson."

"So what is she to you?" he asked.

"To me. She is a woman who deserves justice." The man said three guards from outside came in the man quickly disposed of them.

"Who are you?" Carmine asked terrified.

"I'm Nightwing." Nightwing said and punched Carmine knocking him out the next day when Richard arrived the entire station was standing in the front of the building looking at something Dick got to the front to see Carmine Falcone exactly where he placed him last night with a sign that said.

"Deliver to Blackgate.

-Nightwing"

Dick just smiled and walked inside.
