(Oakside Park 8:25 pm)

This was it, this is where it ends, he knew what was waiting for him at the end of the road but he was ready for it. Nightwing marched towards that radio tower with fierce determination in his eyes as he made his way up that rocky hill, but his eyes soon spotted another letter with the number twelve stuck to a wooden pole.

The house had to go.

It can't protect me anymore.

"I understand Kate, I don't think nothing would've been able to protect you from Slender Man at that point." He said with a serious look on his face as he placed the letter with the others and continued on his way up the hill.

As Nightwing kept going he realized that he was pretty close to the top but he stopped and remembered that this was where Lauren found that cave. He looked around for a bit and spotted the cave near by and walked right in with his flashlight guiding him, as he walked down the small slope he noticed a box with and on top of it was a letter with the number thirteen written on it.

Meet my by the street in an hour.

I left a list of things to bring with you. Leave everything else behind. I'll explain everything as soon as I see you. I know how to fix all of this.

Don't tell Lauren about me.

CR

"I wish I knew what he meant when he said he knew how to fix this because that would've been a lot of help right now." He said as he went deeper into the cave and noticed several things written on the wall in white chalk.

At this point he wasn't all that surprised anymore, he had a good idea on who wrote all of this on the cave wall. He then spotted a note being held up by three pieces of wood, but this one was different from all of those numbered letters and pages he had to find.

I'M SO SORRY . I'M SO SORRY FOR EVERYTHING. THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT I DID THIS. BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS It'S ALREADY TOO LATE FOR YOU. DON'T LET HIM INTO ANYMORE LIVES THIS WAS ALL MY FAULT.

THIS CAN END WITH YOU I LET HIM IN...

WHY DID I EVER LET HIM IN..

I'M SORRY FOR PLACING THE BURDEN ON YOU I WISH IT WAS ALL ON ME THIS CAN'T SPREAD ANY FURTHER . PLEASE, IT ALL HAS TO END WITH YOU. I WISH THERE WAS SOME OTHER WAY. IT HAS TO END.

gOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

"So Kate knew that all of this would happen, she knew that Lauren would come. Well I won't let this spread any further than it already has and I'll make sure he won't enter into anymore lives as well, because I'm going to make sure this ends with me." Nightwing stated as he started to walk out of the cave.

As he walked he noticed that the temperature had suddenly risen up and he knew that could only mean one thing. He rushed outside and saw that the whole forest was a blaze, yes just like on the TV he knew that this was most likely caused by Slender Man but he didn't have time to just stand there he had to make it to the tower.

Nightwing ran through the forest dodging every single one of the falling burning lumber that came his way. He knew that he had to hurry though because the intense heat along with his head wound was not a good match for him, when he spotted the tower he felt something strike his arm like a whip. When he checked on it he saw that it was able to cut right through his suit leaving a scar on it, he turned around and saw Slender Man standing the middle of this inferno with his many tentacles all out ready to attack Nightwing.

No matter how much Nightwing would want to just run over there and kick Slender Man's ass he had to stay focus and get to the tower, so he took off at top speed and dashed towards the tower while trying to avoid getting hit by anymore of those tentacles.

Nightwing right into the tower and slammed the door shut behind him, then once he did that he began looking for a key. He remembered from the video earlier that Lauren had to find the key to the locked door that had the dead corps in it, as looked he could hear a pounding coming from the door he came through and knew that it was Slender Man trying to get in there.

"Where is it? Over there!" Nightwing said as he shined the light over to the corner and found the key on the floor.

Once he picked them up and head towards the locked door he entered and walked down the hallway that was only lit because of the fire that were in the barrels, and that was when Nightwing spotted the dead body leaning against the wall with video camera next to it.

I FAILED YOU

Was written on the wall in capital letters for whoever enters this place to see.

"I can pretty much guess that you must be CR, I'm sorry for what happened to you, Lauren, and Kate but I promise you I will end this." He said to the dead body, he then picked up the camera, took a deep breath, and pressed play.

He heard two voices coming from the camera and from what he could tell were CR and Kate, not only that but it sounded like Slender Man wasn't too far behind them. Then once the recording stopped the room went completely dark, but instead of being scared Nightwing had a smirk on his face like he was expecting this to happen.

"Sorry Slendy but if you want me then you're going to have to come and get me!" Nightwing said and then suddenly there was a hole in the wall beside him.

Nightwing couldn't help but smirk at his work, when he was looking for the key to the door he placed a bomb on a the other side of the wall and since he didn't know if it was going to be the right one he just left that up to luck and man was he lucky.

Without wasting any time he ran right through the hole in the wall and dashed out of the now broken down door, he saw that the forest was still on fire so he had to make extra sure to avoid the falling trees and the fire as well. He was having trouble keeping his balance due to exhaustion from the heat of the flames and if he wasn't careful he would be done for, but he persevered and made his way down the mountain and towards his destination which was the mine that brought him up here.

"I'm back at the mine, no time waste." He huffed nearly out of breath as he ran inside the mine and took the lift back towards the bottom shaft.

Once he stepped off of the lift he heard a growling noise and knew where it was coming from and sure enough there was Kate, she had gotten free from his rope and then charged straight towards him. As much as he didn't want to Nightwing knew what he had to do, so he took out his eskrima proceeded to fight her with them.

"Sorry for doing this to you Kate." Nightwing said as he turned on the electrical part of his sticks and shocked her again.

Just like last time she fell to the ground, as he watched her unconscious body lay there on floor he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, Nightwing truly wished there was something he could've done to help her.

"I know you're behind me and know that you want to turn me into the same thing you turned Kate into, but it's not going to happen, because this ends right here right now!" He said as he turned around to face Slender Man who only responded by sending one of his tentacles right at Nightwing.

Nightwing was quick though and jumped out of the way and landed on top of one of the crates, he then threw a few wingdings at Slender Man who deflected each of them with his tentacles. Then without warning he had one of them wrapped itself around Nightwing's leg and flung him into some of the barrels knocking them over in the process.

Slender Man, who was still standing in that exact same spot, didn't allow Nightwing any time to get back up because he then stretched his right arm out and grabbed hold of Nightwing's neck and lifted him up into the air. He then proceed to whip the former boy wonder leaving several marks all over his body, Nightwing just grunted in response to the pain he was receiving not wanting to give Slender Man the satisfaction of this torture. Once Slender Man was done whipping him he then slammed Nightwing's face into one of crates causing some blood to drip off from his forehead, he then teleported right in front of Nightwing and then tossed him to the other side of the mine.

"I'm not done with you yet." Nightwing said as he began to throw several wingdings at Slender Man who simply deflected each and ever last one of them.

All of the ones that Slender Man deflected ended up stuck to either one of the barrels or either in the wall, and to his disappointment he was fresh out of them; so Nightwing did the only other thing he could think of and that was to throw down a smoke bomb and once the smoke cleared up he was gone.

Nightwing was just about to run out of the exit until he felt something wrap itself around his legs again, he looked up to see Slender Man dragging him back into the mine with his tentacle.

"I bet you think you've beaten me huh? Well I got news for you pal you're not the only one who knows how to get the jump on people,." Dick said with a proud grin on his face as he pulled out a detonator.

Before he could press it though he saw Kate Standing behind Slender Man, and he didn't want her to be caught up in the explosion but for a small moment she changed back to her regular self and give Dick a nod to go ahead and blow the mine up.

"Thank you." She said in a low whisper which Nightwing responded back to with a nod and then he pressed the trigger.

All of the wingdings that used earlier suddenly started to beep, then that was when they exploded which sent off a chain reaction. The explosions caused the mine to start to crumble with rocks and debris to fall everywhere, that was enough to distract Slender Man which caused him to lose his grip on Nightwing.

Dick for his part didn't waste anytime running out of the mine trying to escape the explosion, but he wasnot able to get fare enough because the fiery explosion sent him flying several feet into the air causing him to land a few feet from the gate he saw earlier today. He looked over to the mine and saw that the entrance had been blocked off by the rocks, he laid there on the ground bloodied and bruised with a few burn marks to boot, smiling at his accomplishment. Then his face turned to that of horror as a shadowy figure stood over him, the first thing that went through his mind was that Slender Man was able to survive that explosion; he didn't know what to do now this was it for him.

"Dick Are you alright?!" The figure yelled out in concern in a very familiar voice, once Nightwing got a good look at the figure he was relieved to see that it was Batman.

"Never better Bruce, never better." Nightwing answered with smile on his face before losing conciseness.

(Justice League Watchtower 8 days later)

"How are you feeling?" Batman asked as he checked up on Nightwing in the medical bay of the watchtower.

When Batman brought Nightwing to Watchtower after finding him he was in a very bad condition, what with half of his outfit burned off and the amount of head wounds he sustained, plus the amount of blood that he's lost; they were amazed that he was still standing. He had to spend the next eight days resting in the med bay and he had only recently just woken up, of course Batman and the rest of the team did make sure stop by to check up on Dick's condition every chance they got though.

"Better than I've ever been, thanks again for helping me out back there Bruce." Nightwing answered back.

"I rushed over there as soon as Alfred told me what you were planning on doing, Dick what happened out there?" He asked with concern in his voice.

"Where do I even start?" Dick answered back as he rubbed his head trying to figure a way to explain everything.

"You can tell me later, but until then you should get some rest you've earned it." Batman said as he got up to leave the room but stopped when Nightwing called out to him.

"Bruce, tell Canary I said 'thank you' for the advice she gave me earlier it really helped." Nightwing said with a little smile on his face.

"I will and by the way Alfred wanted me to tell you that he'll have a plate full of his famous cookies waiting for you when you get back." Batman said with small smile on his face as he exited to room.

Nightwing laid there thinking about everything that's happened to him recently, he wondered if Slender Man survived that blast, part of him hoped that he didn't and another part of him knew better and figured that he probably did survived it, he still remembered that look he saw on Kate's face before he pressed that trigger, it looked as though she was grateful for what he's done and glad that this nightmare was over for the both of them.

As for Slender Man, Nightwing knew that he could still be out there waiting for his next victim to come along and he will make sure to tell the rest of the league about him, and finally be able to put an end to his terror once and for all. For now though he's just going to take it easy and enjoy the first peaceful he's been denied for last two months.

"Good night CR, Lauren, and Kate, wherever you guys are you can rest knowing that you won't have to worry old Slendy anymore." Nightwing said before falling off into a peaceful slumber.


A/N: DONE! Well this is now the end of the story and before any of you ask, yes Slender Man is still alive. I mean a mine explosion isn't enough to kill him. He will leave Dick alone though because you have to admit that unlike the others Dick actually put up a good fight, so he earned his happy ending.

Now I would like to think everybody who read this story it really means a lot to me and I would also like to think TheInvisibleGurlz for giving me the idea for a sequel, I hope you guys enjoyed this story as a whole because like I said this my second time doing a story like this and I hope I didn't disappoint you all.

As for a third story well I kind of doubt I might do one, but who knows what the future holds if they make another Slender game then I might think about it.

Well read and review and I will see you guys all later.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
