Alexnandru Van Gordon: Oh come now, did you think I'd make it that easy. But alas, I believe I have said too much to begin with. Just enjoy it.

Infamous One: What's the matter? Cuteness is what makes the world go round… or was that our core… who cares.

Disclaimer: I only own Blink, and maybe the plot. Nothing else. Nothing at all. Nothing.

Fate – Part 3: Fate and Grace Entwined

… Melbourne Australia. One of the most beautiful places in the land Down Under. The birthplace of an unimportant man, who would become the most infamous murderer in Melbourne history. Blink opened his eyes to see a street, an ordinary street, but a street none the less. In a heartbeat, he knew exactly where he was, and in another two heartbeats later, knew exactly when he was.

"Mommy… do you think we can go see dad today?" A young child asked, looking up at a middle aged woman. It took almost no time for Blink to recognize the two, and his eyes grew as he did. "I want to see daddy again."

"I know Jimmy. It's hard with Daddy in the hospital. We'll go there right after I stop at the clinic okay?" The woman replied. Blink's eyes began to water, and he felt himself charge across the street towards the two, knowing all too well what was going to happen.

"YOU CAN'T STAY HERE, RUN!" Blink screamed, standing in front of the woman, Angela. She just turned from looking at Jimmy, and walked through Blink. "PLEASE RUN!" Blink hollered again, following the two. As soon as she turned the corner, it would happen. Blink would mess up, and teleport inside of Angela. The resulting damage done to every organ in her body would kill her instantly, but not before covering Damian in a thick covering of blood. Something that haunted him in his dreams to this very day.

"Mommy, is day going to be okay?" Jimmy asked again, ignoring the screaming Blink behind them. Blink kept yelling, holding out his hand to try and catch their attention. Anything to cause her to not turn that corner. He felt the tears come to his eyes as he watched her come to the corner, and turn to face Jimmy for the last time in her life.

"Daddy will be fine. It was only a mild stroke Jimmy, nothing too horrible." Angela replied, as she turned the corner. A heart beat later, Angela let out a horribly gurgled cry, and Blink fell to his hands and knees, screaming. Angela stumbled a few steps, before falling over. An eleven year old Damian stood beside her, blood drenched and eyes wide, as blood began to seep from Angela's mouth.

"Mommy?" Jimmy squeaked, shoving his mother. Blink felt himself fall to his hands, as he listened to the words that would haunt him to his grave. "MOMMY!"

"I didn't mean…" Damian choked out, weak voiced, his eyes watering. "I really didn't…" Jimmy turned and punched Damian's kneecap. He was only six years old, but he fought with tooth and nail. Damian wouldn't budge as he felt his knees and legs being assaulted by Jimmy. All he could do is stare blankly. And Blink knew all too well why. For the first time in his life, he was reliving his action.

And until the day he would die, he would see that action. He would hear Jimmy screaming at the top of his lungs, the fists against his legs, and the anger in his eyes. He'd feel the murder of Angela Bowler over and over again, and he would never be able get it out of his head.

"MOMMY!"

"Again!" Another voice said, as Blink lifted his head up. "AGAIN!"

"What?"

"SHOOT AGAIN DAMIAN, YOU MISSED THE TARGET!" Slade's voice yelled, in the most furious tone Blink had ever heard him in. It was also the scariest he had ever heard from his master.

Starfire ------

"Well… I guess we leave. There is nothing else here, minding the wreckage." Muttered Raven, as the Titans turned to leave. The fight had been most peculiar to say the least, and left the group rather confused. Why would Slade attack a jewelry shop, and then have his minions run for no reason. 'I am truly confused at Slade's actions in this…'

"NOOO!" Raven yelled, tearing Starfire from thought. Within a heartbeat later, Starfire was flying towards the ground, as Raven dove into her. The push sent Starfire tumbling across the street, and left her greatly confused as to what Raven did that for.

"Friend Raven…why did you…" Starfire began, turning to see Raven lying on the street, motionless. Blood was everywhere, and it was pooling around the fallen cloaked Titan. "RAVEN!" Starfire yelled, as everyone moved towards her.

Raven ------

"Well… I guess we leave. There is nothing else here, minding the wreckage." Raven muttered, before turning from the wreckage. 'Why would Slade do this… it's pointless.' Raven mused. She closed her eyes before taking a deep breath, and turning to leave. Before they opened, she felt something. Or more or less, heard something.

'Mommy?' A foreign voice rang inside her head. Raven had spun around to see if she could find the voice, and instead found a sniper rifle with a man behind it. In that moment, in that brief heartbeat, in that eternal period called a second, Raven's emotions got the better of her, and as fast as she had spotted the sniper, she turned to Starfire.

"NOOO!" Raven screamed, tossing herself at Starfire. She slammed into her side with all her might, and watched her fly from her spot. A second later, Raven felt something slammed through her chest, and tear through her back. It felt like hell had just been unleashed inside her, and the pain leveled her unconscious in mere moments. Raven landed with a thud, and just stayed there, motionless.

"RAVEN!" Starfire yelled, staring down at the motionless Titan. Cyborg and Speedy had quickly realized the situation, and in a heartbeat panic ensued. However, despite Speedy and Cyborg yelling at each other to get her in the T-car, Starfire stood in what looked like a trance. 'What has just happened…?' Starfire wondered, her eyes watering up. 'Was that meant for me?'

On the building still, Damian refocused his sniper-rifle, and had it on the head of Starfire again. He wasn't sure as to anything at that point, but he needed to do this. It was time for her to die, just as his Master had ordered. Slowly, he pulled back the loader, and heard the click of an empty dropping onto the floor beside him.

All it would take was the pull of the trigger, and it would all be over. It would all be finished.

"BLINK!" Beast Boy screamed, catching his attention. Blink turned, only to take a haymaker to the face, knocking him onto the building across the street, and effectively ruining his vantage point. Beast Boy stood, fist still extended, as Blink stood to his feet. He had never been punched by Beast Boy like that before, and the sheer force he put behind it had caught Blink off guard, quite easily.

"I told you to leave."

"SHUT UP!" Beast Boy yelled, jumping across the building, and throwing a right at Blink. The right was blocked as Beast Boy's left leg smashed into Blink's ribs. Blink stumbled to the side, as Beast delivered another sickening punch to Blink's half-masked face. Blink went flying backwards, and landed hard on the roof of the building. Before he could even blink his eyes, Beast Boy had grabbed him by the head, and began to viciously punch it with his free hand. Even when Beast Boy's hand had become swollen from the punches, he kept punching.

Until Blink's left hand shot up, and grabbed the fist in its next swing. "Now I'm angry." Blink growled, before rolling backwards, and delivering a sickening kick to Beast Boy's face. Beast Boy fell backwards, right into Blinks elbow. As fast as the elbow was delivering, Blink grabbed Beast by the head, and flipped him over his shoulder, slamming him into the ground. Furious now, Blink grabbed Beast Boy by the cuff of his outfit, and lifted him into the air. Beast Boy growled back at him, as his hands grabbed tightly onto Blinks, and allowed Beast Boy to swing his knees into Blink's jaw, catching him off guard. Blink dropped Beast Boy, and took a sickening side kick to the face, throwing him off the building, and to the street below.

Beast Boy leapt off the building after him, and threw a punch as he reached Blink. Blink grabbed his arm in mid flight, and threw him across the street, and into another building. Quickly holding his hands out, Blink manipulated the energy into a pair of claws, which rested firmly on his wrists. Blink stepped towards Beast Boy, and got blindsided by a wicked jumping kick to the side of Blink's head, sending him tumbling. Blink recovered, but not before Beast Boy slammed his elbow into his gut. Blink keeled over, allowing Beast Boy to wrap his arm around his head, and spin to his hard left. Beast Boy let go, and Blink went flying into a signpost.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO RAVEN BLINK?" Beast Boy yelled, his swollen hand bleeding slightly.

"I do as Slade commands, and I don't look back!" Blink yelled, standing up. Slowly, he raised his neck into the air, and twisted it. The resulting crack sent a chill down Beast Boy's back. "I gave you the chance Beast Boy! You had the love of your life. But then you came back. I will have to kill you now."

"Blink… you're nothing but a cold hearted fiend. I can't believe I stood up for you ever. I was kicked from the Titans for believing in you! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" Beast Boy hollered, as Blink cringed.

"Your weakness and stupidity is not something I will allow myself to be bothered with! You trusted me, not the other way around! I used you to better myself, and it worked!" Blink yelled, before disappearing and reappearing right in front of Beast Boy. Before he cold even gasp, Blink drove his fist into Beast's stomach, driving the air from his lungs, and slammed a hand around his throat, squeezing almost immediately. He lifted Beast Boy off the ground by a hand, and squeezed tighter.

"You played your role in fate's plan Beast Boy." Blink muttered, squeezing tighter. He felt Beast Boy kick him, trying to get free. He heard Beast Boy gag and groan as he desperately tried for air. He felt his life leaving his body as he squeezed tighter and tighter. "Goodbye Beast Boy."

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM!" Terra hollered at the top of her lungs, as she sent a rock slamming into Blink's chest. The blow sent him flying into a building, and then through it. He dropped Beast Boy on impact, and as he fell to the ground, Beast took a massively deep breath of air, finally being able to breathe again.

"Thanks… Terra." Beast Boy muttered weakly. Blink had reappeared behind them, and went to punch Terra when she turned to him. The fist had been seconds away from impact, when it stopped suddenly. Nothing was holding onto his hand, nothing had blocked it, nor had he hit her like he planned. It just stopped.

Long enough for Terra to raise a rock from the ground, and slam it into Blink's left side, sending him spiraling. 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' Slade yelled inside his head, as Blink's eyes refocused themselves. 'KILL THEM!'

Blink slowly stood up, and locked eyes with Terra again. He couldn't hit her for some reason or another. It confused him beyond words. Suddenly, three large walls of rock slammed up around Blink, locking him inside. The only exit was in Terra's direction. He could have just blinked away, but for yet he felt himself seize up. He couldn't even move his hand, as the pairs of eyes were locked on to each other.

"Take the mask off."

"I can't…nor would I."

"I need to know something. Your real name…what is it?"

"It's none of your damned business!" Blink yelled, stepping forward. He felt his head turning into a whirling dervish of memories and gaps, and everything seemed to get tossed around like a mix of fruit in a blender.

"Please… What is your name?" Terra asked again, sincerity seeping in her voice. "That is all I want to know…"

'Damian, attack her now. Attack her now!' Slade growled in his head.

"NO, GET OUT!" Blink yelled, surprising everyone. Terra stumbled backwards slightly, as two hands slammed to his head, and grabbed at it agonizingly. His head began to toss and turn, and soon Blink had fallen to his knees,

"DAMIAN! What is your last name?" Terra screamed, as Blink's eyes shot open.

"I am the son of Grace and Fate entwined." Blink muttered, as for the first time in weeks, his eyes began to water. "I was born in Grace, and bound to life by Fate." Blink rephrased, before standing up. Slowly, his head rose from the hanging position it was in, and came up to Terra's eyes, with new passion burning strong in them.

'DAMIAN. DO NOT DEFY ME! DO NOT…Wait…' Slade muttered, as Blink stepped forward, towards Terra. 'It all adds up now… DAMIAN! ATTACK HER NOW, OR I WILL KILL HER!'

Blink stopped in his tracks, before looking at Terra. 'Attack Terra now or she will die. I will gladly kill her if you defy me.'

"So what Slade… She isn't important at all. Kill her!" Blink repeated, new found confidence springing to life in his voice.

'Oh but she is Damian. I know how much you'd hate for your sister to die. I would make it slow and painful, and force you to hear every pain filled scream as I killed her.' Slade muttered, Blink's eyes shooting open. 'You left your guard down long enough Damian. If you do not do as I command, Tara will die… and it will be your fault your sister is dead.'

"Damian? It's really you... isn't it…?" Terra muttered, walking towards Blink. Alas, Blink slammed his eyes shut, before raising both hands, and sending a blast of energy slamming into Terra at full force. The blow sent her flying through the air, and right into Beast Boy's arms. Terra was out like a light, and Blink had ran. Yet Beast Boy heard it all...

'Terra and Blink are…related! HUH?'

Slade's Lair ------

Slade was a man of coolness and calmness, among other things. He had always tried to keep his rage in check, and to be brought out only for fights that needed it. However, even a man with his kind of patience and attitude will lose it sometimes, and despite the now quivering Robin, and the dying Titan, Slade lost it. Within mere moments of watching Damian run away, Slade had destroyed the left side of his desk in a single swing. Another heartbeat later, and the half of the monitors were shattered and sparking.

However, despite Damian breaking free, all thanks given to the second fish to get away, Slade could still hold something great in regard. Beside him, Robin was staring at a screen, just staring. His body had started tossing since Raven was shot, and now he was just in constant shakes. Slow groans came out of his mouth, and his head even began to rock side to side.

Slade was torn between two great emotions. Great joy for finally breaking his true apprentice, and great rage for the utter failure that Damian had committed. Damian would need to be punished, and Slade would like nothing more than to watch the pathetic weakling suffer at his feet. Yet as good as it would feel to crush each one of his bones, one at a time, Slade felt that there was a much better way to force Damian to suffer. Slowly, his scowl turned upwards, and Slade walked to the quivering mass of goo that was Robin.

"Robin…" Slade started, smiling as Robin slowly turned his head to him. Slade could only guess what the look was like behind the mask. "How do you feel Robin…?"

"Star…fire…" Robin muttered, as Slade patted him on the head. "Star…fire…"

'He still believes Starfire is dead… this is much better than I expected.' "Robin, my boy… How would you like revenge on the man that murdered your precious little Starfire?" Slade whispered into his ear.

"I'll kill him…" Robin muttered out, before throwing his head to the side. "I'LL TEAR HIM LIMB FROM LIMB!" Robin screamed, before laughing to himself.

"Now now… my apprentice. First things are first. You're mine now. You need to wear something much more… fitting. Understood?"

"Yes Slade."

"Please…call me Father." Slade muttered, victory coating his words. He'd won Robin, the greatest prize of them all. He had won over the last part of his puzzle, and now it was time for the world to witness just what a man like Slade could do. "And Robin, my boy, I want you to make him beg for death." Slade muttered again, as he loosed Robin free. And like an obedient little child, Robin walked towards the room Slade pointed out.

He had to get dressed for company. Slade smile grew larger just at the thought of the arrogant little pest begging for mercy at Robin's feet. It would be the last little motivation Robin would need before turning to Slade permanently. He broke Robin free of the chains he called friends, now he just needed to create Robin's mindset in his own fashion.

Slowly turning, Slade gripped Malchior from the table, and walked a slotted machine in the center of the room, beside the massive mechanical creation beside it. Slowly, Slade slipped the book in, and laughed. He was just a button away from going down in history. In a mere matter of moments, Slade's name would be compared to that of the gods. All he needed to do was push a button.

Titan Tower ------

"SHE'S NOT BREATHING!" Cyborg yelled, as Raven lied on an infirmary bed. Her heart beat had dwindled down to almost nothing, and her breathing, as mentioned, had stopped completely. As quickly as it had been said, Cyborg immediately began to administer artificial respiration. The bullet had torn right through her left lung, and it had begun to pool with blood.

Finally beginning to breathe again, Raven coughed up bloody, before going back to a state of unconsciousness. Within a manner of minutes, even though they felt like years, Cyborg had her bandaged up, and had the pooling blood being siphoned to a bucket, to keep the lung from becoming a bag of blood. He masked her quickly, and hooked her up to an oxygen tank, and finally managed to bring her into a barely stable condition.

However, Starfire was not convinced. Raven had nearly died protecting her, from a bullet meant to be imbedded in her. She should be strapped down to the machine, not Raven. Another member of the team had suffered greatly because of her. Yet her eyes lit up with concern when Cyborg walked out. His face had the horrible look of someone who had seen a ghost, and as soon as Starfire opened her mouth, Cyborg cringed.

"She's fine… kind of. The bullet tore through her left lung, and she's lost way to much blood. She's lucky to be alive, and even luckier to be stable." Cyborg muttered, before falling backwards, and slumping up against a wall. "This isn't suppose to happen to us Star!"

"What do you mean…?" Starfire choked out, weakly.

"We're the Teen Titans! We should not have leaders dying, or getting kidnapped!" Cyborg growled. "THIS ISN'T FAIR."

It was at that time the immense shaking began. The Tower itself was shaking like a small tree in a wind storm. Cyborg and Starfire quickly ran to the nearest window to see as to what was going on, and nearly fell as they ran. The shaking was so intense; it felt as though the world was falling apart. It felt as if the world were about to split clean into two pieces.

That was when the two of them saw it. The reached the window in time to see the sight that would forever baffle them. Outside their window, facing the marvelous Jump City, they could see the city slowly floating upwards. The entire city, end to end, was floating into the sky, like a giant balloon. No words or sounds escaped the mouths of Starfire and Cyborg, as they watched the massive chunk of earth float into the air.

"Oh my god…" Cyborg muttered, as he watched the city float upwards into the sky. "Oh my sweet god…"

"Friend Cyborg…why is our city flying…?" Starfire muttered, her depression tossed aside and shot by sheer astonishment and fear.

"I do not know Star… I do not know."

Jump City ------

On top of the streets, the entire earth began to shake as the city rose to the sky. Blink himself was caught horribly off guard as the building rose up, and everything began to shake. It was something totally different, totally unreal.

'Meet me in the warehouse by the docks…' Slade muttered in Blink's head, as the shaking began to gradually lessen. Blink wanted to go see how high up they were, but he had already done enough to anger Slade by now. Blink had a beating like none other coming his way, and only a fool would keep a madman like Slade waiting.

Especially since he had been waiting too long himself for this moment…

Meanwhile, Terra and Beast Boy had made their way to the side of the floating city, while Terra was still out cold. The whole day had struck Beast Boy as unreal, but now that Jump City had, literally, jumped into the air, everything had changed. Changed for the worst.

"Slade…" Beast Boy growled, before looking down. They were at the very least thousands of feet in the air. The ground wasn't even visible, and the air had gotten incredibly thin. Not thin enough to prevent breathing all together, but thin to offset anyone normal.

"Beast Boy…" Terra muttered, looking up at him.

"What?"

"We need to go back for Damian…" Terra muttered weakly, one of her hands raised to the side of his face.

"I know…"

The Warehouse. ------

The lights were off when Blink walked in. Blink rarely liked walking into a dark room, even though he had become accustomed to it since serving under Slade. How he hated that bastard, now more than ever. Not only did he find out the biggest secret he had to hide, but he used it against him instantly.

"Alright you bastard! Come out and play!" Blink yelled, spinning around in the center of the warehouse. He was done playing games now. If Slade wanted to kill him, then he could just stop with the mind games and kill him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Slade muttered, his voice sounding like it was surrounding the room. "One face to face with sister dearest and you feel like you are equal to me. You forget your place, Damian."

"Up yours mate! I'm done being your bloody lapdog! I could give a damn what hell you put me through now. I've seen her face again, and I know now what you did!" Blink yelled, looking for Slade. "I'll make you pay for screwing up my sister's life, you rat bastard!"

The lights turned on, as soon as Blink had stopped talking. Across the room, at the end of the hall, was Robin. And Robin was standing in the same attire he had worn once before. Metallic S and all.

"I trust you remember my son… Damian." Slade taunted. Blink was too busy staring in shock at the sight. Slowly, Robin began walking towards Blink, a dark aura to his every movement.

"You kill Starfire, you killed Bumblebee, and you ruined my life…" Robin growled, as Blink just watched him walk towards him.

"I believe you two were never truly acquainted before. Robin, meet Damian. Damian, meet your fate." Slade growled sinisterly. "Make me proud Robin."

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Robin yelled, charging Blink. Blink whipped his hands to the side, trying to prepare to blasts of blink energy, when nothing happened.

"Did you really think I'd let you have any use of your powers now, Damian?" Slade taunted, looking down at Blink.

"You coward Slade." Blink muttered, as Blink back flipped, dodging Robin's left. Quickly twisting to the side, Blink dodged a right as well, long enough for him to grab the extended arm, and deliver to sharp kicks to Robin's chest. They did precious little to him, as Robin slammed his other hand, open palmed, into Blink's unprotected chest. The blow sent Blink flying like a sack of stones.

Robin quickly followed up, jumping into the air, and throwing a kick into Blink's chest, knocking him hard backwards, and slamming into the ground. Within a heartbeat, Robin had rolled over the lying Blink, and drove his elbow into Blink's head repeatedly, smashing it over and over again. After a few blows, Blink's mask shattered, brining full light to his face once again.

Ending the elbow assault, Robin grabbed Blink by the neck, and lifted him up, long enough to toss him into the side of the warehouse. He brought his right hand back, and slammed it into his stomach, driving the wind from Blink's lips. Five consecutive shots later, Robin pulled Blink back, and spun hard to his left, tossing Blink at high speed into the wall, and through it.

Blink tumbled like a ball, rolling into an open area. His eyes opened wide as he coughed up a large amount of blood. He ran a hand down to his side to feel broken ribs. "DAMMIT!" Blink yelled, forcing him to his feet. He turned to see Robin charging him, throwing a hard right hand. Blink ducked as quick as he could, dodging the punch effortlessly. To Robin's surprise, Blink drove his elbow into Robin's stomach, causing him to bend over. Slamming his other hand to the ground for support, Blink pushed onto it, and kicked up, driving both feet one after the other into Robin's jaw, and knocking him off his feet.

"Robin! The hell. Why are you doing what he tells you? YOU'RE THE HERO!" Blink yelled, as Robin kicked up to his feet, and quickly cracked his neck. "You're the good guy, the one that suppose to stop him. Finally gave in to your most wild desires, you little wanker." Blink yelled, as Robin charged him again.

"HOW CAN I? YOU'VE TAKEN IT ALL AWAY FROM ME!" Robin yelled, catching a punch, and throwing Blink to the ground by his arm. A heartbeat later, Blink's arm was torn out of place, and broken horribly by Robin's left foot. An ear piercing scream rang loud and clear from Blink's lips, as his arm fell to the ground, shattered.

"Keep going Robin… make him beg." Slade muttered, standing not to far from the battle.

"You ruined my life Blink! I'll make you suffer for everything you've put me through!" Robin growled, before picking Blink up by the neck, and grabbing Blink's left leg. In a single action, Robin shattered the knee cap of that leg, bringing another scream from Blink's lips. The pain was unbelievable.

"Please…" Blink muttered, as he began to crawl away from Robin.

"Please what Damian?"

"Please…go to hell you bastards! And when you get there, tell my mates Blink sent you." Blink retorted, a smile across his face. Robin went for more, but this time he was stopped by Slade.

"You never did learn, did you? You thick little child!" Slade growled, as He walked beside Blink, and kicked him square in the back. The blow sent him flying like a soccer ball, and Blink landed dangerously close to the edge of the city. "You were brash, stupid, and useless. Even now Damian, you are useless to me."

"You know what Slade…" Blink coughed up, as more blood escaped his lips. "Why don't you stop blaming me? You failed with me."

A dangerous look came from Slade's eye as he heard the comment. "What?" Slade said, almost dumbfounded.

"You heard me mate. You are nothing more than a pathetic failure. You failed with me, you failed with Terra, and like now, you'll fail again."

A hand slammed down onto Blink's throat, and an irate Slade hoisted him into the air, and held him over the edge of the City. The ground would be a long flight away, and Slade was ready to say goodbye.

"Damian, as useless as you are, I am going to give you something. Something I know you have been begging for since you were eleven." Slade growled, anger wrapped tightly around his words. "I am going to give you death. Do you want to say anything before I close this pathetic book that was your life?"

Blink, knowing fully what was to happen, just smiled and looked Slade in the eyes. "Yeah… don't blink." Blink muttered, before spitting up a mixture of saliva and blood into Slade's eye. "You'll miss it, mate." Blink finished, as Slade let go.

"Good riddance. Robin, let's go! We have preparations to be made."

"Yes father." Robin said obediently, looking down at the falling figure.

Son… you've got a way to fall

Blink closed his eyes as he felt the torrents of wind and air rip into his back as he fell. He let his mind go as he tumbled towards the ground. With his one good arm still capable of moving, Blink raised it to his forehead, and gripped the metal ring. With one strong pull, the metal circlet shattered away, freeing him from Slade's grasp.

They'll tell you where to go

Once again, Blink fell to his mind, to the deepest corners of his memory, and for once saw something different. Saw something happy. His four year self was hugging his mother tightly, while she looked away to something different. Something standing in his position.

"Listen Damian. You'll grow up to be an amazing man and a doer of many things great. I'll love you until the day I die, and you will always know that I do." Linda said, looking towards where Blink stood now. "And even when the shadows grasp at you, know that you have Fate on your side, and Grace in your name."

Blink's eyes opened again, as he fell faster, and from his mouth came a smile. "I WILL DIE FREE SLADE! I WILL DIE FREE FROM YOU!" Blink yelled, stretching his good arm out, and shutting his eyes tightly. It was only a matter of time before it came. Before the thud of death. The last sound he would ever hear would be the sound of his mother's voice reassuring him.

But they won't know…

Blink… no, Damian Grace took a deep breath, before finally seeping out of consciousness. The pain had taken him to his point of no return, and now he just wanted to rest.

And then, seconds later…impact.

Insaneiac: There you have it, Fate has played out. Blink found his sister, then died. Robin has officially snapped, and it was Raven that was shot. Plus, Jump City is now thousands of feet in the air, and a madman rules it with an iron fist. I know this chapter will turn heads, but this is the turning point. By the by, the words in bold were the first few lines to a song called "Way to Fall" by Starsailor. Check it out if you have the time.
