Chapter 15

"Robin!" The team cried out as Robin cracked some glow sticks and tossed some to them.

"Who else were you expecting? Your mom?" Robin smartly remarked as he pulled out some rope out of his utility belt.

"Ha ha, Robin. Or should we say Shadow?" Artemis snapped, her arms crossed over her chest.

Robin stiffened. "KF, I hope you're not doing anything tomorrow because you'll be busy being killed."

"I didn't tell them! It was Bla-!" Kid Flash started to defend himself but cut himself off by covering his mouth with his hands.

Aqualad frowned. "You know the villain's name?"

Kid Flash furiously shook his head, keeping his hands tight over his mouth to prevent himself from talking.

Seeing as Kid Flash wasn't going to talk (for the first time EVER), the team turned to see Robin shift the villain's body so it was sitting up. They silently watched him as he tied the villain's hands to his feets, making sure to get the remote control for the bombs out of villain's left hand.

"So," M'gann started because the silence was uncomfortable, "should we go to the Bio-Ship to call Batman?"

Robin nodded. "Yeah, I have no way to talk to him seeing as Blade thought it would be great to destory all of my communication devices."

Kid Flash chuckled. "That was one smart guy."

Robin snorted. "He IS one smart guy."

"Huh?"

"He's not dead. I just used the hilt of my knife to knock him out."

Kid Flash shook his head. "I should have known . . . "

"Okay, are we going to call Batman or not?" Artemis snapped, still not over the fact that Kid Flash was in the loop and she wasn't.

"Yeah. Let's go before Batman has a heart attack," Robin joked as he and the team went out the door, down two flights of stairs and out the back door where the Bio-Ship was.

_Blade's POV when he was said "No wonder . . . "_

Now it all made sense. Why Shadow had wanted something more than being an assassin. Why Shadow (when Blade had spied on him) had seemed so happy with Bruce Wayne and his friends. Why Shadow had fought so hard to keep Blade away from them.

He had found people he would die for, people who would accept him for who he was and not judge him by his past. He had finally found something that Blade had been looking for his entire orphan life.

Home.

Now Blade could feel twinges of jealousy and envy for Shadow. Jealousy for his courage to change his ways. Envy for his new life and home.

Envy for his friend's and adopted father's acceptance of his past.

Too bad it was too late for Blade to turn back. Otherwise, he would do what Shadow had done.

"No wonder-"

Then it all went black.

A/N- I thought you guys needed a look inside Blade's head. I love how you guys thought that Robin killed Blade. Please review! This was published 3-12-12 with the length of 606 words.
