Sheesh. Sorry it took me kind of a long time to post this chapter up. I was swamped with so much homework it isn't even funny. Well, I'm done now and on to typing up the thirteenth chapter. I hope y'all like it!

Chapter 13: Call Me Deathstroke

-----------------------------------------------

Kariand'r gobbled up the last bit of eggs she had on her plate taking a huge gulp of milk and then finally shoving the last bit of bacon in her mouth.

She sighed happily rubbing her stomach and giving off an abound belch. "Ahhh. That was an awesome breakfast."

Kariand'r opened up her eyes when she didn't hear Mar'i reply back. She saw her sister staring out the window next to their table; the expression on her face was emotionless as she twirled her fork around her half eaten eggs.

"Mar'i, you okay?" She asked.

Mar'i broke free from her trance. "Huh? Oh. Yeah. I'm fine."

Kariand'r sat up from her chair putting her arms on the table looking straight at her twin sister. "You don't look fine."

Mar'i looked at her sister and then looked down at her meal.

"Come on Mar'i, what's wrong?" Kariand'r asked giving her arm a little shack.

Mar'i looked up at her sister and then gave a frustrating sigh. "It's just, I can't shake the fact that my own dad—I mean, our dad, lied to us. He lied about you and our mom and your mom lied about me and our dad. And to make matters worse, he lied to me about having these—powers and the fact that he was Robin and Nightwing back then. I mean, even my own grandpa and aunt lied to me. They never told me that they were Batman and Batgirl. It just really bugs me that practically my whole life is a lie."

Kariand'r gave her sister a miserable look and then looked down at her empty plates. "Are you mad at me Mar'i?"

Mar'i looked up at her sister in bewilderment.

"I'm pretty much the cause of all this. You wouldn't have known about me, mom, dad about being a superhero, your grandpa and aunt being Batman and Batgirl, and your Tamaranean powers if you hadn't met me. So, are you mad at me?" She asked not looking up at her sister.

"No." Mar'i said resting a comforting hand on Kariand'r's arm. "I'm not mad at you."

Kariand'r looked up at Mar'i.

"This isn't your fault anyway. I mean, I was going to find out sooner or later." She told her giving her a bright smile. Kariand'r smiled back. "Come on, since we're here, let's go check out the city."

"Okay!" Kariand'r said in her perky little tone as her and Mar'i got up from their seats but then was stopped by their waitress.

"Here's the bill." She said handing them the receipt. Mar'i and Kariand'r both looked at the receipt and gasped in shock.

"Wow, that's a lot of numbers."

"Uh, how's about we give you an I. O. U?" Mar'i smiled nervously rubbing the back of her neck. The waitress just stood their glaring at the two girls akimbo.

"Um, I don't think she wants an I. O. U Mar'i." Kariand'r whispered.

"Gee, thanks for telling me that." Mar'i said dryly, rolling her eyes.

Deathstroke yawned tiredly resting her head on her right hand looking down Denny's Diner.

"This is taking way too long. Why can't I just abort the mission and move on to Beast Boy and Raven's boys?" She asked through an ear-piece she was wearing.

"Patience young apprentice. Your mission is just like a video game; you start with the easy missions and move on to the harder ones."

"Whatever." Deathstroke sighed looking around the city until she caught sight of Shadow walking across the streets with Stevie trying to catch up to him. Deathstroke's eyes lit up in interest. "Ooh, he's even sexier in person." She smiled staring at the bonny Shadow.

"What was that?" Slade asked; a little anger in his voice.

"Uh, nothing!" Deathstroke said quickly, her heart racing.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was already setting making the whole sky a beautiful mixture of orange and pink when Mar'i and Kariand'r finally came out of Denny's Diner after cleaning so many dishes. They groaned tiredly dragging their feet trying not to collapse to the floor.

"I never want to see another dish as long as I live." Kariand'r moaned.

"From now on, I'm eating all my meals with plastic utensils, paper plates, and plastic cups." Mar'i said taking a seat on a bus bench. She looked up at her hands which looked like shriveled up raisins.

"My hands look like dying snorkglers." Kariand'r whined looking at her hands.

"Ah, poor babies." Said a mysterious voice.

Kariand'r and Mar'i looked up to where they heard that mysterious voice.

"Who's there?" Kariand'r asked a little frightened as it started to get dark and dark, the street lamps turning on.

Just then, a small kunai knife went straight after Mar'i slicing her on the shoulder.

Mar'i screamed and slapped her hand on the wound. Red liquid then started to seep through to cut and smother all over her hand.

"Mar'i!" Kariand'r cried running to her sisters' side. "Show yourself coward!" She yelled as her hands and eyes started glowing a bright blue lighting up the streets a little.

Kariand'r then saw a dark figure standing on top of a Borders bookstore. The dark figure jumped off the roof quickly taking out more kunai's throwing them at Kariand'r before she touched the ground.

Kariand'r saw the kunai's coming and quickly zapped them with her light blue Starbolts. "Is that all you got!" She smirked unwavering.

The dark figure stood in front of Kariand'r in the shadows. She smiled behind her orange and black bandana mask giving off a small chuckle. Kariand'r glared at her, her hands and eyes glowing an even brighter light blue.

"Who are you?" She asked trying to show no fear in her voice.

"I have many names, many identities," The dark figure said walking into the light of the street light that was placed in the street they were fighting at. "But you can call me—Deathstroke."
