A/N thanks for your reviews and support.

Shou-loatheUndying: thanks for your review my friend. Delta is just his call sign in medusa. Alphas are big and strong. Tend to be stronger than the other. Betas are like regular humans. Omegas can have children whether male or female. They tend to be seen as the weaker sex. They are not.

Al Owal's POV

Ra's was silent for long enough to make them nervous. Al Owal was particularly nervous for his young student. His lord could choose to end the man's life. Or he could give the man a choice. No matter what his liege chose Al Owal woudo have no choice but to accept it.

That thought left a bitter taste in his mouth. Watching Al Sahim these last few weeks had been extraordinary. He wanted to see how far the other could go.

Grey eyes turned to them and Ra's ordered, "Bring me Al Sahim as you call him."

That wasn't a decision. It was simply an order to bring the man back to him. Not what he was expecting and Al Owal could only hope for the best.

The trip to the Sword's hall was a long one. Even as he approached the sounds of steel clashing upon steel could be heard. It made him worried slightly for the boy he had begun to train. What he found surprised him.

Al Sayf who was easily distiguisgable by his taller stouter form clashed expertly with Al Sahim. The younger man was agile but his speed was far outmatched by the elder swordsman. Despite this however the youth was holding his own. The sweat that gleamed off his forehead bright.

Their swords locked at the hilt and Al Owal knew he had to stop this before it went any further. Ra's Al Ghul was not a man to be kept waiting. Unless one was not favorable of their head.

He let out a sharp whistle drawing both men's attention. Al Sahim had enough sense to sheath his blade immediately. Al Sayf simply watched in amusement.

Al Owal reprimanded calmly, "I sent you here to speak with, Al Sayf. Not to fight with him, Al Sahim. What were you thinking?"

"That would be my fault," came the low baritone of the other alpha, "I wanted to see what the pup could do. I heard even from here that he was skilled with a blade. I'll have to test your skills with a bow next time."

Al Sahim bowed his head slightly to the man but didn't say anything. Al Owal gripped the younger's arm and began to lead them out. Normally he would have the man at least put up his blade but he was going to meet the Demon's Head. There was no telling how this meeting would go.

As if sensing his thoughts Al Sahim asked stiffly, "Am I meeting, our lord? I didn't think he normally oversaw trainings beyond usual reports."

Our lord? Well that was a pleasant surprise. So far the omega had avoided addressing Ra's unless absolutely necessary. Every time he had it had been in a stiff formal tone. He was right however.

Ra's usually avoided the initiates once they had seen his power. There was little need for him to interact with them except in training. Even in training it was only occasionally.

Al Owal replied honestly, "You are. Keep a cool head here, Al Sahim. It may just save your life."

The blond turned to look at him for a moment. It took all of his years of self control not to gasp. For the first time since they met there was a hint of blue in the grey eyes. It wasn't much and few would have noticed it but it was there.

Al Sahim replied honestly as they neared the door, "I will try."

They entered without another word. Al Owal rejoined his fellow assassins while Al Sahim stood off to one side.

David's POV

He stood stock still as he awaited Ra's judgment. Questions ran through his mind.

Had he done something wrong? Or was this Ra's deciding he wasn't worth the trouble of training?

According to be Al Owal and Al Sayf he was not doing bad for an initiate. His swordplay had come along way in just a few short weeks. His archery had become more deadly and accurate than even some of the League. At least according to Al Owal. Given that the alpha wasn't one to hand out compliments he took it.

Ra's grey eyes met his own. David did not flinch away as he gazed at the man. This man held his fate in the palm of his hands. For some reason that he could not explain David felt no fear at this.

Ra's said finally circling David, "I have recieved some advice from your mentor. While the advice of one is something to consider. The advice of two is something to heed. Especially when they are held in high regard."

David remained silent keeping his back straight and his gaze forward. He didn't enjoy having the man walk behind him but didn't fight him. If the man wanted him to move he would say so. For now he would simply swallow his pride.

Ra's continued after a moment, "Their advice has all been the same. You do not trust us or have loyalty to the cause. Simply put the only thing keeping you here is the fact that we saved you."

The omega frowned. It wasn't the only thing keeping him there. Aside from the one alpha he had not had any real problems with anyone. They mostly left him to train and heal in peace.

He would forever be grateful at their saving his life. While he still didn't know who he was or why he ended up half dead in the French waters, he did know one thing. These people saved him and for that he would serve Ra's Al Ghul until he was released.

Ra's said in a low gravelly tone, "I am heeding their advice. As we know you now as David I release you from my service. I will have one of my men take you wherever you wish to go. I give you three days to make your decision. The choice is yours and yours alone."

David could not stop the shock he felt. He was released? Just like that? No strings attached?

Another set of thoughts invaded those. Had he done something wrong? What made them change their minds?

He inquired carefully keeping his tone respectful, "Did I do something wrong, my liege? If I did please enlighten me."

There was a flash of surprise in Ra's gaze before it was carefully hidden. David wasn't even completely sure he had seen it.

Ra's rumbled, "You have not done anything wrong. In fact you have done well, initiate. However your heart does not lie with us. Not yet. So we are giving you a chance. If you take it then you were never meant to be one of us. If you are still here in three days time you made your choice to stay. I will expect you to have your heart settled by then."

With that Ra's spun on his heel and left the room. David could not believe what he was hearing. This was his chance to find out who he was. Or this was his chance to stay and continue to find a place in this world. His heart was torn between the two choices.
