Chapter 14

Of course Blade was behind this! How could he have forgotten about Blade who had killed that woman?

Because I'm an idiot.

Just then, Robin heard Blade's voice below him. He was downstairs! Then Robin heard Kid Flash's voice. His face tightened with anger. How dare Blade bring his friends into this! They hadn't done anything!

Focus, Robin. You know that when Blade thinks he's winning, he'll leave his back unprotected. All you have to do is strike.

As he reach in one of his pockets in his utility beat, he felt the wall till he found a door. He silently turned the doorknob as his hand tightened around the handle of his knife. He hadn't used his knife since his assassin days but he willing to make an exception.

Because you just don't mess with Robin's friends.

EVER.

_Young Justice's POV_

"Kid Flash, are you saying that Robin is this Shadow person?" Aqualad asked him, slightly frowning.

Kid Flash twitched. "I'm not answering that."

"Oh, so only one of you knows . . . Interesting. You, Flash boy, know of his past yet you accept him?" Blade asked Kid Flash, his voice laced with some emotion that they didn't recognize.

"Duh! He's my friend! His past is the past. Nothing more," Kid Flash stated, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm so confused . . . " M'gann muttered, rubbing her forehead.

"You're not the only one," Superboy said, taking her hand in his.

Blade frowned thoughtfully in the dark. " . . . Interesting . . . No wonder . . . "

"No wonder what?" Artemis asked him.

"No wonder-" Blade's voice was cut off, his body falling with a thud echoing throughout the dark room.

"That's for hitting me with a crowbar."
