Drake spun around and pulled out a gun aiming it at Damian's head. Everyone was yelling and banging on their cells trying to get out, but it was no good. Drake loaded the gun and said
"See you in hell little bat" he was just about to fire when he was knocked away by a purple/black blast. Seconds later one of the guards transformed into a green wolf and went to protect Damian, Raven landed next to him and said
"leave him alone" Damian then muttered before lying down
"Thanks" Raven replied
"You saved my life, I save yours" Drake then got back up with his gun in his hand and said
"Huh, kiddies to the rescue. Did you really think that you could stop me all on your own. Pathetic" after he said that a load more guards ran into the room, each carrying a semi-automatic. Raven just smiled and said
"Who ever said that we came alone" Drake lowered his gun slightly and just said
"What?!"
Seconds later a familiar voice filled the room
"Have you forgotten just how many friends i've got Drake" everyone let out a breath of relief as we heard Karas voice, Drake then said
"How are you still alive?"
"Ahh Drake haven't you realised yet. It takes a lot to kill a Bat"
"How did you find us?"
"Dean, your son. Someone I told everything too, the only person who knew I'd be on that road at that time. He's currently residing in Bellereve penitentiary for attempted murder of Kara Wayne"
"Do you really think you can get to me. There's an army protecting me. And you've got a couple of Kids"
"Like I said before. Have you forgotten just how many friends I've got. Let's just say, I cashed in a few favours"
Just then alarms started going off and people were yelling through the walkie talkies
"We're under attack…they came out of nowhere…how'd they get in… Code red…" Drake turned the talkie off and then something landed next to him. Getting a better look at it I saw it was a red arrow, I then heard Oliver mumble
"Roy" the arrow the exploded sending Drake across the room; It didn't knock him out just kinda winded him.
Roy then jumped down from his perch as Wally said
"You always knew how to make an entrance" Roy smirked and said
"Yeah well you guys seemed to be having a party without me" Artemis then said
"Great, can you get us out now" He pressed his fingers to his ear before saying
"Did you hear the Princess? Kiddies want out" he then laughed slightly before our doors opened. Bruce's first instinct was to check in Damian. Damian wasn't in a great condition, he was really pale and struggling to stay awake. Roy then said
"Raven get him back to t…"
However he was cut off when Selena spoke
"We've got a runner" we turned and saw Drake running out the door.i went to follow but Roy called
"This isn't the plan"
"Then What is the plan" Garfield then said
"Our part is to get you out and safe" Jason then said
"And Drake?" Roy once again pressed his fingers to his ear and said
"He's heading your way, princess. The rest of us our about to make our way back to the rendezvous.…Be careful" he then turned to us and said
"Raven, a portal would be nice"
"Yeah alright Mr snappy".She raised her hand and then a portal opened. Jason And Tim then helped Damian up before making their way through the portal. As Oliver passed Roy he said
"Roy, I didn't…" Roy cut him off by saying
"We'll talk later Ollie". Roy and I were the last people to enter the portal.

2 hours later
Roy's P. O. V
It been an hour since we returned to the cave and I've only just heard from Kara. She was on her way back from dropping Drake off at Bellereve. Speaking of, I've just got ahold of his papers and Kara really did a number on him. His file say that more than half his ribs are broken, and fractured in three places, both legs broken in multiple places plus a fractured skull. He could have died.
I then heard footsteps behind and said
"Everyone is settled and getting the right medical treatment" Kara responded
"Good" I turned around in the chair as she was taking her jacket off and said
"Are we gonna talk about it?" I was referring to Drakes condition. She simply said
"He deserved it" I stood up and said
"Kara the guy was nearly comatosed"
"And? He's caused so much more damage, ruined so many lives. I should have killed him"
"Do you even hear yourself? This isn't the Kara I trained alongside. I don't know who you are anymore" she turned around and started to walk out. I then called
"Where are you going?"
"To see me family!"
Bruce's P.O.V.
We've been at the cave for a while now and when we got here i almost didn't recognise it. The original team disbanded a year before the drake incident and this place was never used again. Yet this place looks maintained, new equipment, everything's up to date. Anyway, currently the entire 'Batfamily' minus Kara are in Damians infirmary room listening to him moan
"Guys seriously i'm fine, just a few scratches. None of this is necessary" he gestured to all the equipment and momators around him. Before anyone in the room spoke, my daughters voice echoed in the room
"That's not what it says here, little brother. 8 broken ribs, deep lacerations on your back and shoulders, fractured ankle, sprained wrist, concussion, bruises almost everywhere. To be honest Damian, you're really lucky" we all turned and said Kara leaning against the doorframe looking down at the file in her hands.
However, Jason then pointed out what was going through all our minds
"Your Scars, They're gone" She looked up at us and brushed her hair off her face before saying
"Dad, those nanobots work" I stood up and said
"Lucius gave you Nanobots!?"
"Yeah, i got caught in explosion but made it to Wayne Tech, i was dying. I would have for real this time is he didn't. It just healed more than he was expecting, all my scars, every last one is gone". Kate then stepped forward and said
"Well i'm gonna be the first to say it, thanks for the rescue. And welcome back BlackBat" Karas face dropped momentarily but then pushed off the doorframe and said
"Anyway, i seemed to have missed a good party"
We all spoke for a good few hours until Damian started yawning. He insisted that he was okay but out of all of us he needs to sleep to get his strength back, so the rest of us left him to sleep. When i closed the door to his room Kara said
"Urm it's just us here, so until the mans is rebuilt, Dick knows where the rooms are so take your pick" everyone then turned but before they started walking i said
"Kara can i have a word" SHe stayed behind as everyone else went to get some rest.
When everyone was gone she said
"The JL are gonna start working on rebuilding the mansion in a couple of days, they jumped at the chance to help" i sighed and said
"And then what, Kara? I saw the way your face dropped when Kate welcomed you back as BlackBat. Answer me honestly, do you want be BlackBat again? Or do you want a normal life?" she was quiet for a bit before sighing and saying
"I've never been normal, i've been doing this for as long as i can remember. I have never known a life outside of all of this. i wanna see the world, i wanna study art and music, i wanna live. I'm not a normal person but i wanna try and have a normal life where i'm not looking over my shoulder all the time. And i can't do that hear" without a second thought i pulled her into a hug and said
"I understand, my little girl is all grown up and ready to 'fly the cave'. Just stay until things settle, please…..
2 weeks later
Karas P. O. V
So now that the house is rebuilt and everything is back to normal Dad thought it would be a good idea to throw a party. He invited the entire league, the titans and the original team, literally everyone is here. Since Drake went to prison a few thing has been going through my mind, is Roy right? Have I changed that much? What do I do now?
I kept thinking about this whilst stood up on the stone balcony whilst leaning against the railing watching everyone talking, laughing and having a good time. I was snapped out of my thoughts when someone came a joined me. I looked up and saw Dick standing next to me, he leant against the railing and said
"You aren't staying, are you?"
"I can't. Kara Wayne died 6 years ago, I don't know who I am anymore"
"you know we'll support you whatever"
"I know" he looked at me for a moment before saying
"What else you thinking about?" I was quiet for a moment before replying
"I could have killed him"
"But you didn't"
"I wanted to. Everything fibre in my body was telling me to just…5 years of pain he caused me, he put me through hell and I wanted him to feel that pain, what does that make me?"
He gently wrapped his hand around mine and said
"That makes you human, Kara… What you managed to do was more than any of us expected. Look at what you did Kara" he gestured out to everyone before continuing
"Most of those people would probably be dead if you didn't bring together teams and people that wouldn't normally work together. K, you did go through hell but that has made so much stronger. Drake and Dean are never gonna see the light of day again, they are gone" I sighed and said
"I know but…Urg Drake, Dean, Dad, Roy, you, Everyone telling me who I am, what and what not to do, be this, be that, do this, do that. I can't focus on me…I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, I don't know who I am without blackbat looming over me, waiting to take over my life like it always does" he didn't. Say anything after that so I looked forwards and simply said
"After the wedding, I'm gone"
To be continued…
