Oh and guys what I found out our school is doing Guys and Dolls for the musical (so excited love the music from it).Plus has anyone else watched Arrow? How awesome is it! BLACK CANARY! Anyways enjoy my new chapter I'm not the best action scene writer so bare through the non-existence of one, please.

Previously on Ten Years Later

"Ahhhhhh now that's where your wrong, young hero. You see there may be six of you but there are two of us, and my skills far outstrip 90% of yours. So I would say that the battle is even in skill, if not tilted in our favor." A smile appeared on Warps face. But Nightwing paid no attention to him, turning around he was face to face with a familiar black and orange mask, that belonged to a man he despised more than anyone else, he spat the name out with as much hatred as he could master.

"DeathStroke."

As soon as the name was uttered Nightwings team growled at the man and sprang into action. Ignoring their leader's stare off, Flash quickly pushed the man out from in front of him and towards Conner who placed Wing behind him. getting into a protective stance towards the villain. The others formed a semi-circle around them both, assuring that DeathStroke was now nowhere near Nightwing. The man just laughed.

"Do you honestly think, if I wanted Nightwing it would be difficult to get through each of you. I defeated the Justice League, I'm not intimidated by their protégée's." Everyone in the group tensed staring intently on the orange and black man. Nightwing however seemed to snap out of his anger induced trance and quietly and logically deduced how to take care of this situation. Though he hated to admit it, DeathStroke was right, they were skillfully out numbered.

"And do you honestly think that we would allow you to take him back again?" Answered Tempest barley concealing his anger towards the man who just laughed again at the once Aqualad. Conner stood more apprehensively in front of his leader, trying to hide him from the villain's sight.

"That's so sweet you still think you can protect your friend from me. But you should know I'm not here for Nightwing….Well not specifically here for him anyways. I can't let you take the clock from Warp here, and let's face it he isn't quite the deadliest man out there, and we can't have the Justice League heading back home can we?" Nightwing jumped at the word Justice League, of course how could he have been so stupid? As he quietly pulled out his communicator he thought of Damian's words.

"If any problems should arise, you are to contact us immediately, agreed?" typing swiftly he smiled slightly at his brothers concealed words of caring. After closing the device he looked back up at what was going on. Thankful he did, just as he raised his head DeathStroke launched himself at Kaldur, fist raised and an inhuman growl escaping from his lips. Throwing up his water swords quickly he blocked the onslaught of punches directed towards his face. Without hesitating the rest of the team rushed forward to help their friend. Nightwing pulled out his Eskrima sticks but was stopped by a firm hand, looking up he saw Conner worry etched on his face.

"Take care of Warp so he doesn't escape we can handle him." He was about to argue but was stopped by the look being sent towards him from the once Superboy. "Where not letting you anywhere near him again, so you might as well do something useful." And with that he dropped his hand and turned to fight with the others. Sighing deeply Nightwing turned around to see Warp stash a few watches into his pocket. He smirked the league would be here soon to help with DeathStroke, and he could take care of Warp it would be to easy.

Meanwhile on Mount. Justice

The founders were in a frenzy when they received the urgent message from Nightwing for back up. Even those without protégées felt extremely worried for the young hero's. In the blink of an eye they were ready to go, making their way to the garage to "borrow" one of the various vehicles (excluding those who could fly or run there) to make their way to Star. Stopping briefly to send off a message to the current leaguers to inform them on what was happening; they left without a second thought.

Unlike the younger team the leaguers felt the mental link to be uncomfortable therefore were armed with different comns to talk to each other with. The ride to the museum was held in silence each thinking of what they might find when they arrive at the destination. Batman especially found it hard to get his now not so little bird out of his mind, hoping, praying that he was alright.

In little to no time the different crafts and hero's landed in the parking lot narrowly avoiding hitting the bio-ship. Finding no need to be stealthy they quickly made their way up to the main door hanging open with sounds of fighting, traveling from within.

What they saw made them pause with shock. Most of the older young justice team was splayed along the destroyed exhibit room. Each unconscious and sporting some sort of injury, Warp was laying along the injured. But instead of being out of it, his eyes stared sharply at the only fighting pair still going at it, Nightwing and DeathStroke.

All had seen both men fight before but never had Dick looked so…..skilled. The battle appeared at first glance to be a deadly choreographed dance viciously in sync. Each punch, kick, and swipe was paired magnificently, almost as intriguing as a perfectly placed Pirouette. The league was stunned none had imagined that the boy who once was Robin could fight as good if not better than most if not the entire league. Their trance was only broken by a well-placed kick to the stomach sending Nightwing flying across the room. DeathStroke turned towards the leaguers obviously covering up painful injuries but managing to smirk none the less.

"Ahhhhhh yes I was wondering when you would arrive to help your protégée's. Unfortunately you're a bit too late. Now if you'll excuse me I must go and I'll be taking the clock, and my apprentice with me." And with that the man threw several pellets to the ground creating bellowing smoke. The hero's rushed forward but by the time the air cleared DeathStroke was gone, along with Warp, and Nightwing.
