I know, two chapters in one day, but hey, forgot to post over the past couple of days.

It didn't take long for the others of the original team...and Jason to follow Wally's lead. As they got in and walked onto the water soaked carpet, they saw Orin coming out of the kitchen...with a few cuts on his arm.

"Son!" Kaldur ran to Orin and hugged him. "Are you well?"

"I'm good...but they wanted the boys."

"I'm starting to think taking Areina meant getting them to do what they want. Someone wants your boys BAD." Wally theorized.

"More like taking Areina and Serenity was a distraction." Dick said.

"What is it about my grandsons?" Kaldur asked.

"It's because the Light wants Atlantean magic channels." A voice said after a boom tube opened up behind the gathered heroes.

"But Bruce is the only one that has them…of the kids!" Conner replied tightly.

"Then there must be another reason for going after Jason too." A second recognizable voice said.

The group turned around and saw all four Dakota heroes standing there.

"We got info that you need to know." Static told the old covert team.

"We need the Batcave." Dick remarked

"Bruce took the boys down there to protect them." Orin told his uncle

Dick and Jason headed right for the clock.

Once everyone was downstairs in the cave, no one was in sight. Dick grinned as he headed right for the Batmobile. The lid of the Batmobile opened and the twins popped out. "Hi Uncle Dick!" they chimed at the same time. Kaldur, Orin and all NON bats were shocked.

"Only Bats can open the Batmobile." Dick said as he helped the twins out.

"Batpa said we could use the weapons and fly it out if that Ratz guy came down here." Young Jason added.

"Forgive me Orin. I had already set the Batmoible to recognize their voices." Bruce Sr said.

"Always one for a contingency...huh, Bruce." Dick stated with a smile.

"It's alright, like Dick said, you've always had good contingencies." Orin said as he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

The boys ran to their dad as Dick and Jason helped Bruce Sr out.

Before the twins hugged their dad, Young Jason saw blood drops on the ground.

"DAD!"

"I'm alright. Right now, Static, Gear, Shock and Syfon seem to have information about your mom...and your Aunt Serenity." Orin stated, seeing the blood going down his arm.

Wally ran for the kit and ran back to Orin. "Off your feet. I got it."

"Like you can wrap up his arm." Artemis taunted.

"Hey, a guy can try...right, babe?" Wally said as Artemis pushed him aside and the married couple looked at each other like they were about to share a kiss.

"Ew. Mushy stuff!" cried Young Jason.

Everyone laughed at little Jason Grayson's antics then Artemis took over wrapping Orin's arm while the others gathered around Static and Gear.

"Ok...um Bruce, you have a pic on Onyx?" Static asked.

Bruce Sr went to the Batcomputer and typed in a few commands and a jail photo of Onyx came onto the screen.

"Ok. Onyx has a granddaughter. Dymond." Static began.

"TOLD YOU GUYS." Jason semi shouted.

"We're never going to hear the end of this." Dick said as Jason smiled at him.

"She's been talking to him about her uneasiness with the Light." Gear continued. "She thought there might be a double cross and that Manta would be the casualty."

"What kind of double cross?" Kaldur asked.

"She doesn't want to lose her fiancé to the Light, and the double cross is that Ebon could betray them." Gear said.

Orin was quiet. His feelings were mixed.

"Why treat the kids well...she's on the opposite side." Dick asked, wanting the answer.

"Her and her fiancé have issues with going after kids," Shock answered. "They've protested Delta squad's involvement right from the start."

"There's more...she personally lost two brothers and vowed that she'd NEVER endanger kids." Syfon said.

"So...is she on our side or what?" Wally asked.

"It's hard to say right now, but if it comes to the point where we fight her...she may be pregnant, so..." Static said, telling the team what Onyx told him.

"Oh crap." the older Jason announced.

"That's why the doubt. I'm sure Manta is the father IF she is, and she doesn't want to lose him." Bruce Sr said.

"Dick, your call. How do you want to handle this?" Conner asked.

"Until we get a lock on the EXACT location, all we have to go on is Malaysia. We wait." Dick said and saw the looks on everyone's faces. "I know, it's going to kill me too, but we can't stretch the team and League too thin."

At that moment, Orin's cell vibrated. He pulled it out of his pocket and he was shocked to see who was texting him….then what flashed when he checked it.

"Quick, check these coordinates!" Orin cried.

He repeated them as they flashed on the screen.

Bruce Sr turned to the computer and typed them in.

"Teluk Intan, Malaysia."

"So Dymond called her grandfather from where they're holding Areina and Serenity." Static said.

"Looks like, but there's more." Orin read the rest of the message out loud. "Guard your sons. Come quick. I will slow their torture."

Orin turned the phone so that everyone could see the pic of a diamond on it.

"She is helping. We go with caution." Kaldur told the group.

"Guess she found out that Ra's was after the boys." Dick said. "Also, keep Dymond safe. I'm sure Static gave Onyx his word that should we fight with her..."

Static only nodded as he knew where his leader was going with this.

"Got it and IF she's pregnant. Go super easy." Artemis added. "Even if she's in the early stages, using her power too much may stress the baby out."

Everyone nodded.

"Boys, will you be good for your great grandfather?" Orin asked.

"Yes." Bruce said.

"Get them good, daddy." Jason remarked with a smile.

Orin nodded.

"Orin...you need to go easy in a fight. Watch your arm," the older Jason added.

"Heading to Molly first, don't need to be cautious against those that took my wife and her aunt."

"Ok. I'll save you some," Roy promised.

"You better...dad."

With that everyone headed out through boom tubes.

BBBBBBBBBBBB

Malaysia

"The Atlanteans have thwarted my plans for the LAST TIME." He cried out as he headed toward the prison wing of the building.

"Angry are we, Ra's?" the Master asked.

Ra's eyed the bullwhip in the warlock's hands. "A bit dramatic for my taste."

"I prefer the tortures from my youth."

"I would watch with permission."

"This is for Serenity, but maybe Areina has some information that could help you." He said with a devious grin as he put on his cloak. "Let's go."

Serenity picked her head up when the door opened. The Master walked in and Ra's closed the door behind them.

"Ra's." Serenity hissed.

Areina woke up when she heard her aunt.

"I'm just here to see the start of this, and then I shall have a session with the Detective's granddaughter."

"Like hell you will!" Serenity cried.

The Master moved behind the sorceress. Without warning, the whip cracked her back, breaking the cloth there and cut her skin like paper.

Serenity hissed.

"I see your husband has conditioned your pain tolerance. He is a wonderful teacher." Ra's remarked.

"The code to the towers. What are they?" The Master asked.

"Go throw yourself into space." Serenity said through the pain.

The second strike hit her between the shoulder blades.

"The. Codes." The Master asked tightly.

"Keep away from her." Areina screamed from her cell.

"You're not getting them." Serenity answered.

The third one got her left side, close to her hip.

"Come after me, if you're the master you CLAIM you are." Areina cried out. She didn't want to see ANYONE she loved get hurt...especially after the last time.

Serenity refused to cry out. She hissed each time, each hiss tight with pain.

"I think it's time I got to know the detective's granddaughter, I can see so much of her mother in her, and yet, I know VERY little about her." Ra's remarked.

Areina winced as she heard the next strike of the whip and saw her aunt bit her lip. Ra's left Serenity's cell and entered hers in less than a minute.

"If you know Grandpa so well, then you know how he trained me. I won't break."

"I believe that my dear. Shall I make you more comfortable?" Ra's threw an unseen switch, and the fan above her came on.

The snow fell onto her.

Areina started to shiver. "Really, that all you got?"

Ra's watched Areina's body language. He grinned as the snow continued to fall without stopping.

"There's something special about you right now, but what could it be?" Ra's asked, knowing that Reiena would have shut down by now with her body temperature so low.

"Go...screw...yourself." she said through chattering teeth.

Ra's watched her skin go red with the cold before stopping the fan altogether.

"You know, I was surprised years ago when your mother saved her fallen brother from Cadmus. She risked her life for the one that rejected the Detective's ways."

"He was...and STILL IS family." Areina was very cold at the moment, despite the heat she could generate. "Also, bring up my mother again; see if I don't find SOME way to break free." Areina shouted.

"You have a secret young one." Ra's moved closer to Areina to see if it was something he could see.

"Back off." Serenity cried out between hits from the Master's whip.

The Master then walked to the front of Serenity, bullwhip in hand. "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

The Master spun that whip above his head and then smacked it down the front of her.

It tore open her dress, striking her skin across her chest and arms. Serenity screamed finally in pain.

"Ah, now this IS interesting." Ra's said as he looked at Areina's neck closely. "Since when are YOU an Atlantean."

"I told you to back off." Areina said as the snow on top of her started to melt.

"I thought you put their collars back on." Ra's said as he turned to the Master.

"I didn't see it necessary."

"This is OVER." Ra's said. "There will be no more torture of EITHER of them until they have inhibitor collars on."

Serenity panted as the Master went behind her again. He struck Serenity one more time, across her lower back on her hips.

Serenity hissed before the Master left. "Be lucky, sorceress."

Ra's glared at Areina. "You will die cold." He flipped the switch to the fan and the snow fell nonstop and he left the room.

Before Serenity could focus on trying to free herself so she could help Areina; the young fire controller's cell door opened once again and this time it was Merlyn that came in.

"Not so powerful now…are you, brat." Merlyn said.

"I remember…what you did during the timeline…change." Areina said as she continued to be covered with snow, even though she was melting it as it fell.

"Oh yes, Lord Ra's showed me the video…it was fun to cut Arsenal's head off….and he didn't see it coming until it was too late." Merlyn stated.

Areina only glared at the evil archer as Serenity watched incase Areina needed her.

"I think your father needs a message..."

"Screw you; we'll stop the Light once and for all." Areina said...after spitting in Merlyn's face

Merlyn wiped away the spit with a gloved hand; then smacked Areina hard across the face with that same hand. "Such rudeness!"

"You OBVIOUSLY don't know my father then. He would do the same thing in my situation."

"Oh...and the young girl…..I believe her name is Olivia? Is she anything like Roy? You know-since her daddy's eating worms?"

Areina was steaming now as the snow continued to fall. "You want to say that again...AFTER you release me so I can kick your ass."

Merlyn laughed. "I think it's time to pick up the war between me and Green Arrow. Tell me-your daddy or Olivia?" As if he would ignore the other.

"Neither."

"Very well then." Merlyn said and suddenly Areina's arm started to burn with pain. "Tell Red Arrow, that Olivia is next...but then again the WHOLE archer line will fall."

Areina turned to her arm and saw a crossbow arrow sticking out of it.

"So long, this was a fun chat." Merlyn said and with that he headed out.

"Honey, are you okay?" Serenity asked, her pain heavily laced with pain.

Areina didn't say anything at first, but Serenity could tell that she was fighting the pain. "Once I can get this damn arrow out of my arm….and hopefully singe it closed before my collar's put back on, I will be."

"Areina, did Ra's notice your gills?" Serenity asked after her pain subsided.

"Yes." Areina shook with the cold again but her voice also carried the pain she was in from the crossbow arrow in her arm.

"Ra's will figure it out...just like he did with Artemis' Glamour charm during the undercover mission." Serenity said.

"We need to get out of here. Right now." Areina started to heat up right away.

Serenity sighed; she had to tell her niece the plan. "Areina..." She started, but then her door opened and Dymond walked in.

Dymond gasped as she saw Serenity's back. She immediately went to free her.

"I can't do this. I'm getting you out of here. David is waiting for us."

"What?" Areina asked as the rest of the snow melted.

"Areina...Dymond came to me for help. I take it Manta learned something he didn't like." Serenity said as Dymond freed her and allowed the older woman to lean against her.

"Why would you want our help?" Areina asked as she got off the table after burning the restraints...finally able to do so safely, then she winced as she pulled out the arrow and quickly singed the wound shut.

"They want David's magic channels. I can't let that happen." Dymond told the fire Meta. "I love him."

Dymond waited for Areina to burn her way to them through the glass wall.

"Then...That's why Ra's was soaked...he went after the boys." Areina said as the glass quickly melted.

"And David heard. He's against going after the kids and so am I. We're done with the Light, the LOD and all that shit." Dymond declared.

"Now I can say this: Thank you for taking care of my sons that time." Areina said as she got on Serenity's other side and helped her aunt out of the cell.

Dymond nodded. "This way. We'll take the tunnel to David."

"Not so fast. I'm sick of true villains turning their backs on me. First Drow's mother and now YOU TWO." A voice said.

"Take your aunt." Dymond's skin became rock hard as she turned. "Go screw yourself!"

"Be careful, Dymond." Areina said as she and Serenity continued down the tunnel.

With them trying to escape, Ebon grinned.

"You're no match for me girl. Onyx was always weak minded, just like you!"

"I'll show you weak minded." Dymond said as she started to create diamond splinters.

"Those two have a surprise coming when they reach the end of the tunnel." Ebon said as he created a vortex to flee as the splinters came toward him.

"David!" Robecca yelled into her come.

"On it."

It was just then that the comm was left on and all of a sudden David was screaming in pain.

Ebon grinned as he resurfaced. "He on nothing."
