Thank you Mr. D for the review I am sorry that I kind of made it make you look like a jackass you weren't and neither was Judas it was nobody if that can be possible (its usually me anyway) so yes I know the whole Speedy going nuts on us thing was weird but I wanted to write it because I thought what the hell why not a twist. Mr. D I do not mind that your reviews are long it is fine by me more fan mail to read in my idea. So this story is coming to a end soon I can't believe it all went by so fast, there might be a sequel but not till I finish NND and maybe another story so look out for my name in any category. This is not the final chapter for those who think it is I don't know how many will be coming up probably 1 or 2 more after this one. So sorry for the long author thoughts lets get on with the story.

Ch.25: Mind Walking

The steel on his shoes made a loud crisp echo into the emptiness of the building. There was not a soul in sight or mind. No whispering behind corners, misplacing shadows, or the low shuffle of shoes on the tile and carpet floors. All was at peace like none of the chaos and agony was taking place. But Logan knew it was all a lie. There was somebody in this building and he was hoping to meat them. He kept his hand on the hilt of his blade at all times. He didn't want any problems sneaking up on him. The dark halls seemed to becoming darker every step he took was sending him deeper and deeper into the empty void of his mind were he knew every inch of its properties. Inside his mind it was just like before back on the scorching highway to Gotham. It was a dark land with an unseen floor and a bright circle of light around him. In front of him was his younger self, he seemed to be more cheery and greener than the last time he had seen him.

"Hello Logan, nice to see you here again." giggled Beast Boy.

"Hey kid what's up, can you tell me what's with this place? Why do I seem to come here when I am in the darkness?"

Beast Boy scratched his head and then looked out into the nothingness with confusion.

"There really isn't an answer, I think you come here just to remember yourself, this is your past life, were you can come and watch DVD's of your past and remember the forgotten."

"Why DVD's?"

"Why not? Hey it gives me something to do, we got some good movies, it's nice in here, I'm glad you created me I here; it's peaceful you know."

"Ya I do, little BB there must be a reason why I am here again. I came here to get out of certain death am I in danger again?"

"Well you're in mental danger if you can call it that. Logan remember why you came to Jump City."

"To stop Price and get my revenge."

"Wrong, you came here to stop Price correct but you wanted to save the people you loved and saved once before. But along the way you forgot about them and cared for yourself. Raven, Starfire, Nightwing, Cyborg, Sarah, and all the others, they were what was important not revenge. Sure I admit he ruined our lives but we didn't have to live with his destruction, we fight to keep the peace like we have before. Our youth is gone but there are children that might live with this if we don't stop it. So tell me this do you remember that now?"

Logan rubbed his skull, his younger self was right. He was becoming selfish and ready to kill anyone to satisfy himself. He remembered the day he exited the prison after he had broken that guard's noise and reached the hill looking out over Jump City. He wanted to save it, not kill its people and get his life back. His life was gone and a new one was born that day. He didn't need revenge he needed peace.

"You're right I came for peace not revenge."

"Good boy, you can leave now if you please to."

The younger Beast Boy walked over to an area and snapped his fingers, a large soft green chair popped into its place and he sat down. The chair reclined and the younger Beast Boy pointed to the place in front of him. There was a click and a movie began to play in the emptiness, it was scenes from his close moments with Raven. Logan smiled and shook his head.

"You can stay you know, it gets lonely in here sometimes. But your body needs you right now." Beast Boy said with a frown on his face.

"Tell you what little me, when I am asleep at nights I'll come here and spend time with you, how does that sound?"

Beast Boy jumped out of the reclined chair and spilt the appearing popcorn in his lap. He nodded with a large smile on his face.

"Sure, that's awesome I get to have some company while I watch this old flicks."

"O.k. so thank you for the remembrance little guy, I'll be back soon."

"You're welcome Logan."

"Call me Garfield."

"Cool, hey Gar, when you fight Price, I want you to use your powers. There more useful than you think, he has something up his sleeve that the Massacre can't handle. I can't tell you what because I don't know but I know its something big."

"O.k. little guy I will remember that."

Logan started to walk into the darkness and Beast Boy held a thumb up on his way out. When Logan awoke from his travel he saw that he was still walking. He was walking down the same hallway but he could still remember he was farther down it than before. He saw another flight of stairs in front of him. With a smile on his face he started to make his way up it.

"I hope you hear this Price, I have my destination in sight and you won't stop me. I swear on my parent's graves that I will not let you get away with your sins."

As Logan walked up the next staircase he reached the top and opened the door leading to another hall and he slammed the door shut behind him.

Nightwing was thrown fat on his chest on the hard ground. The impact sent shockwaves through his body and he found it harder to breathe. He slowly rose to his feet to meet a steel poll slapping across his face making him spin in the air but as he was about to hit the ground the steel pole slipped under him and flipped him over Riku and slamming hard on the back of his neck.

Nightwing stumbled to get up but as he rose the poll was slammed across his back sending him back down. He coughed up the blood in his mouth and stumbled back to his feet, he was bleeding from various cuts and tears on his body, he found it hard to breath now because he felt 3 of his ribs broken.

"You're pathetic Richard. I was hoping a challenge and all I get is on tiny slap across the face?"

"How is this possible, I can't land a punch on you and yet you have barely broken a sweat?"

"Because I am better than you silly boy, you're weak and useless if you can't even beat me. I am as strong as the people remaining on my father's team."

"Well then I am hoping for a challenge that's good."

Riku gave a sarcastic chuckle and followed with gave a quick poll jab in Nightwing's stomach. Nightwing fell to his knees and gripped his stomach and coughed and reached for air but met a boot to the jaw sending him back on his back. Nightwing lay on the floor trying to rise up but he couldn't find the strength. Riku slowly stepped to the side of his body and slammed the poll hard onto the dirt. He twisted its handle and the point of a blade started to come across its side and touched Nightwing's neck.

"Now if I twist this handle again faster the blade will extend fully and cut your throat to ribbons. So you see your dilemma don't you, what to do at a time like this, to bad all your tricks won't work."

Nightwing coughed and spat to the floor and looked at Riku with anger, he had been beaten by him. Then Nghtwing felt across his costume pocket and felt something he had forgotten. He let a small smile and spoke with all the remaining energy he could force out of his mouth.

"You're right… I don't have many tricks left that will work; but there's always the classical way."

"What's that?" asked Riku with confusion.

"A gun."

With that a shot was heard and blood poured out of Riku's forearm. Riku dropped his staff and held his arm with pain shooting through his arm. Then to Nightwing's surprise Riku started to laugh with insanity.

"You…you hahaha, no one had had the balls to pull a gun on me. You're the first ever. And it worked. You're a… hahaha very smart person."

Riku continued to chuckle but lost his footing and fell onto his back. He saw that Nightwing had tripped him and continued to chuckle with tears of joy poring out of his eyes. Nightwing smiled behind the blood and pointed the pistol he held in his arms to Riku's head. Riku smiled and raised his hand for Nightwing to see, the wound was healing up, his skin and muscles replacing themselves. The bullet fell out of his skin and hit the floor with a clank.

"No…"

"You idiot, I can't be beaten by measly bullets, you would have to do better than that."

"I will show you how much I have got under my sleeves."

Nightwing pulled the trigger to the gun and saw the bullet fly out of the cannon in slow motion but Riku became covered in a black aura and sank into the floor.

"No…how can he be able to do that?"

"Because I am superior to your weak race human." echoed Riku's voice through the emptiness.

Nightwing tried to see him but Riku was gone he was hiding in the darkness like Raven would. Riku was somewhere in that building searching for a new way to attack but Nightwing could think of any other way. The darkness was his greatest weakness because anything could lurk in its deep waters.

Logan had finally reached the top of Price Corp. its large last floor was only filled with two doors. Two exit ways from Price's office, two different ways to save himself if he found it to hot in there. Logan walked up to the door and found an access machine. He walked up to it and found a red light shinning across his body.

"State your name." said an electronic voice.

Logan sighed and punched his fist through the machine breaking wires and metal. The machine clicked and spoke once more.

"Enter."

The metal door popped open and Logan stepped into the darkness of hidden reality. Logan stepped into the office and saw the complete darkness. The only light was the small orange blaze from a cigar in the dark.

"Hello Mr. Logan nice of you to show up. I hope you hade not troubles on your way up. Please have a seat our conference had just begun."
