Dick Grayson

Chapter 13

Decoy Anyone?(Part 4 of 5)

-Platform 9:The nest of the Devil-

A large jet black plane landed as rush of wind pressed down onto the ground while the origin of the exerting force began to shut down slowly. With the cooling down of the engine being used to create such a pressure, a man in a green cloak with a bare chest stood just to the side of the machine. Once the plane had landed, the top of the jet opened and a dark shadowed figure flew out of the cockpit.

"Ah, detective. I see you still take my words too seriously, even in the world we live in today where your kind are no longer needed."

The figure stepped into the light, revealing that in fact it was the "detective" or in his street name. Batman.

"You should know by now that my kind will always be needed."

"Hah, and why would that be if you have all mighty beings like Superman running a mock."

"Thats easy. He's just the muscle for my kind to control. Now lets quit the chit chat and get down to business Ra's Al Ghoul."

Ra's offered his hand to Batman, but the bat refused to play nice with the devil. With that sense of insecurity, Ra's took a step back and closed his eyes for a moment.

"I'm taking it that you have agreed to my terms?"

"It seems that I don't have a choice in this matter now do I?"

"Oh you have a choice...just a very limited number of options is all. You know you could just leave the child with me for all eternity. After all you did enjoy my company in the past, did you not?"

Batman shook his head as he turned his back to Ra's.

"I have to say that I did learn a lot from you, but the reality of it all is that your a real devil in disguise. Theres no way in hell I'll ever allow any child to serve under your liege for any period of time. Especially for this so called "eternity"."

"Hah, why must you question my words so much Detective?...to think of it, I believe thats one of the reasons to why I always liked you."

Ra's turned away as he began to lead Batman out of the platform and into the palace ahead.

"I don't question your words, I just find that how you live...to be immoral."

"Now theres a first. And why might you say this? is it because you still do not believe in Magic, detective?"

"...I believe in a lot of things, but the tools you use at your disposal destroy everything you speak of. All you are, is a walking, talking hypocrite."

Ra's swirled around, pulling a blade out and directing the tip of the sword at Batmans neck while the bat stood with no sign of fear on his face, or any emotion for that matter.

"You just proved my point."

"...What makes you think your so smart Detective?"

"I don't think. I know."

Ra's gave a smirk as he pulled the blade away. Soon after they began to proceed to the throne room of the fortress in the sands.

"You do realize a man without fear is no man at all."

"Yes. I do know that, but I'm not a man now am I?"

"Hah! is that suppose to frighten me? or perhaps provoke me to waste more time while that arrow man of yours escapes with the boy?"

Batman jerked his head back while his eyes widened with surprise.

"Whats the matter detective? have you forgotten how brilliant I am as well?"

"No...I just realized something."

"Really now. And what might that something be?"

Batman stopped dead in his tracks as Ra's raised an eye at this scene.

"Nothing much...I just wouldn't stand there if I were you."

Ra's pulled his blade out again as one of his guard came crashing down from the ceiling and landed on top of him.

"See. I told you to move."

Batman gazed at the ceiling as he saw a long brown coat rush above the hole in the ceiling.

"Hm..."

As Batman thought to himself, an explosion was heard as the sounds of shurikans clashing on a wall were heard. Soon following was the sound of a screaming child and a man.

East Corridor of the Palace:Robin and Green Arrow

"JESUS CHRIST! where the hell are you Bats!"

"Why did you do that!! I thought you were a professional like Batman."

"Hey, I never said that kiddo. You just assumed that since I'm wearing a mask that I'm a pro at all this hero shit."

"...wow, you really have a potty mouth don't you?"

"...Let's just say I had a horrible child hood with my father."

"Ah...I guess that makes some sense...I think."

Green Arrow suddenly halted as a line of Ninjas stood in front of them.
"Damn it! I thought I killed a hundred of them back there. Where in the world does this Ra's guy find all these creeps?"

"Not sure. Maybe their zombies. That could explain a few things right?"

"Wow, theres a thought that never came to mind. The bats right about you kiddo. You really are something else."

"Yeah...but anyway. What do we do now?"

"Heh...we sure as hell are not going to give up. We worked too hard to allow them to take us in now. So tell me kiddo. Are you as much of a fighter as you are a talker?"

"Hah. Have you forgotten who my sensei is?"

"Thats a great change in attitude for the both of us. So with that said kiddo... Let's kick some ninja ass." Arrow held his head up high as he stared coldly, but with a hint of pride at the Ninjas set before them.

"You mean booty right?"

"...Yeah that too, if your going to be such a goody too shoes about it."

Both the man and the child laughed as Dick leaped off of Arrow to ready himself for the fight of his child life.

"So how does this go again? you take the ones in front and I take the two in the back right?"

"Yeah...wait a dang minute there. Why do I-"

Just then I rush ahead of this so called "hero" and wave to him with a smile...a smile for what exactly? I might ask myself. Perhaps to be free for a moment or maybe, just maybe I really believe I can do it. I can actually defeat an army of blood thirsty Ninjas with this small time hero. Well whatever it may be, all I know is that if I wake up tomorrow...I'm going to have a heck of a lot of bruises to make up for todays exciting encounter.

"You got spunk kiddo. I say let's use that for now and survive like a dog facing a catcher."

I leaped into the air, swinging my leg at one of the Ninjas and to my surprise I hear a crack. I do hope that was a jaw and not my foot, because right now...my leg hurts like heck. With pain itching up my leg, I land on the ground and perform a leg sweep as the Arrow uses me as a decoy to shoot real live arrows through those Ninjas spleens I hope. small sprinkles of blood began to fall on my face as arrows fly everywhere, some hitting the bodies, while others brushed against a brick wall. Either this guy is joking or he really needs some practice. I bet even I can shoot better than this guy, and I'm just a kid with a hunger for bats and balls...I think..okay even I'll say it. That really wasn't necessary to think of, especially for someone in my current state. But hey, I'm fighting Ninjas so WHO cares, right? I'm sure I'll work this out later anyway. I am the sidekick to the world famous Batman! after all.

Meanwhile back to Batman

Batman raced down the halls, kicking and punching any Ninja that came his way. Its not until he reached the west corridors of the palace did he stop to take a moments breath.

"Ah, my love. There you are. I figured that was you who was making such a mess of things in my fathers estate."

Talia stepped out, wearing a revealing nightgown from a door that was hidden just behind Batman. She gave a smirk as she wrapped a hand under Batmans chin while she brushed her chest against his back. Batmans face twitched as a small smile appeared on his face.
"I-I...No, stop this Talia. We both know that I wont do such a thing with you. Were both enemies, as long as you continue to follow that domestic father of yours."

"I know this my love, but I can't live without having you penetrate me...and leaving me with a child to bare with...or without you."

"So? learn to deal with it Talia. Just find someone else already."

" But you my love, are the only one that my father will allow to touch me. Can't you see that if it is not you...then he will eventually impregnate me himself."

Talia pulled her hand away as she tilt her head down and shed a tear while Batman kept his back to her, with no sense of remorse.

"Sorry Talia, but I'll have to walk away now. I can't let the kid down."

Talia gave an angry expression on her face as she quickly stuck a needle in the back of Batman's neck.

"YOU WILL!! you will satisfy me, conscience or not my love!...if only you could have been a good player in this game...things could have been much easier, but no. You just had to bring your little friend and ruin everything. At least now...this way I'll get what I want from you either way, just as planned."

Talia snapper her fingers as two Ninjas appeared from out of nowhere and began to drag Batman behind Talia.

"You two. Quit staring at my bottom. Just do what I tell you and I will allow you to live after staring at me in such ways as you have been."

The Ninjas shook their heads as they looked away, continuing to drag Batman to wherever Talia wanted them to take him.

"Good boys...it's about time the real mastermind behind this plot came into the picture. Oh and when we are done here. Make certain to alert the Count about our other unexpected visitors and also...someone WAKE my father up already! but lock him in a cell for a while. I wish that he pay for trying to kill my love."

A few Ninjas that were hiding behind Talia stepped into the light as they rushed toward the count and to Ra's Al Ghoul's current sleeping quarters.

"...Or do that now. I must say that I will never get use to how my father trained the lot of you miserable Ninjas."

Talia laughed as she placed her hands to her back, grasping each hand in hand while she continued to walk with a breeze brushing against her skin with each step that she took, toward a location that is unknown for the time being.

Just above Talia and the Ninjas a team of three were standing and watching the scene commence.

"Wow, did you check the hooters on that chick Lobo? I mean wow...Bats is a dumb as to turn a woman as fine as her down."

"Hell yeah I did. Who couldn't see them."

"Bah! you two are hopeless! cant you place your idiotic thoughts elsewhere. We still have a mission to complete here."

"Oh alright bunny doll. Lets go kill some more pricks and assassinate our target already."

The three nodded their heads as they turned away and began to walk away.
