Thank you all for the reviews, and because all of you want to see what happens with Dany and Batman, I will write that chapter now and leave Wally's for later. This was actually one of the hardest chapters to write, so I hope you enjoy~

Warnings: Not so bad words, but still... Violence, and drug mentions.

Now, both Dany and Red Hood were staring into the glare of the Batman, who was beyond pissed off. He only came here to tell his ex-adoptive son to stop killing so much, and finds him driving around; in a car that exploded, mind you; with the same girl the whole League had been looking for for almost two weeks.

"Well?" He asked, taking a step forward.

Red Hood took out his gun, aiming it at Batman, his left hand behind him to keep Dany a safe distance. "I asked you first." He said, getting ready to shoot at him.

"Jason." Batman growled, glaring with even more intensity.

Red Hood returned the glare, hating him for calling by his real name. Wasn't he the one going on about secret identies staying secret no matter what? He just called him by his real name, in front of a girl that could use it to her advantage. He might as well return the favor.

"Bruce." He said, in a growling and mocking tone.

Batman's glare got even more intense, which shocked Dany because she already thought she had seen the worst. Guess she was wrong. She looked at Batman, then Red Hood's back, sighed, then whimpered at the pain that came from her leg. Both of the men's eyes turned to her, as she kept her eyes closed tight to try to distract herself.

"What did you do to her?" Batman accused Red Hood, taking a step towards Dany, only to be blocked by a mad Red Hood.

"What the hell! How could you say I did something to her!" He yelled, returning the gun into it's holster then getting in a fighting stance.

Batman let the glare drop, but narrowed his eyes at Red Hood. "I just want to check what's wrong with her."

Red Hood shook his head, then turned around to look at Dany. She was standing stiffly, seeming to be favoring her right leg, her fists clenched with her face morphed into one of pain.

"Carmen?" He asked, voice turning soft and surprising Batman.

Dany opened her eyes, also looking surprised at the tone, then asked in a tense voice "Yeah?"

"What's wrong?" He asked, putting a hand on her shoulder to keep her steady. He knew that the hits on her head might be hurting her right now.

"Nothing that you should worry about. What do you want, Batman?" She asked, suddenly losing all the tension from her body, giving off a laid back vibe yet again, smirking at Batman.

Batman glared at her, then walked towards the two, towering over both of them. "Danielle, what are you doing here?" He asked, then swiftly turned around as he heard gun fire.

Bullets rained down over them from the rooftops of the sorrounding buildings, and Batman pushed them into the alleyeway next to them. "WHAT THE HELL!" Red Hood yelled, his arms over Dany's head so the bullets wouldn't hit her, while running with most of her weight on him. What is up with her leg?

Red Hood broke down one of the doors in the alley, and both of them jumped in. Dany grunted when her leg made contact, but didn't complain as Red Hood led her into the building. Batman stalked in after them, and the three of them stayed in there in the dark for almost five minutes. Eventually the gunfire ceased, leaving them all in silence.

Batman turned to the two of them, glare evident even in the darkness. "What was that?" He asked, already blaming them on what had just happened.

Red Hood sighed, letting his head drop while Dany looked up at him from her seat on the floor. She had her arms wrapped around her legs, her chin resting on her knees. Every so often she would brush her hand agains her cut, flinch, then leave it along.

"What do you mean, Batman? You really think I know what the hell just happened!" Red Hood asked, taking a step forward to try to intimidate Batman.

Batman didn't back down, and only glared and crossed his arms in response. Dany sighed and let her head drop, already frustrated by how they were acting. Men! Why must they try to prove themselves all the time! She already knows both of them are men! She's also sure that they know that they are men! Why must they act like this?

"You are the only one here that has managed to make any enemies here in Las Vegas." Batman said in a matter of fact tone, arms still crossed.

Red Hood's eyes widened at what he had just said, not understanding why he had just said that. Sure, he had made enemies, but not enough, and they didn't hate him too much to actually want to kill him like that. If anything, Benny Siegel had made the enemies, which meant that they were targeting Carmen, not him.

"I'm sorry, Bats, but you just sound plain old stupid. You have no idea what I've been doing here, nor what enemies I've made. So, please stop making yourself look like an idiot, and shut up." He growled, crossing his arms, and turning his back towards Batman.

Dany sighed yet again, not wanting to see the blowup that was bound to happen with the two of them, then gasped in surprise when Red Hood roughly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. "Why don't you tell both of us the truth, Cam?" He asked, hissing the name.

She looked at him with wide and fear filled eyes, scared at his sudden mood change. And, at how rough he was being. Sure, she had seen him get pissed off before, but that was just when they were on their rounds. He usually just took out all his anger out on the sick people on the street, and then left the smiles for their little group.

"Jason." Batman warned, taking a step forward to signal him to stop hurting her.

But he didn't listen, he was already tired of the lies she had told him, and he wanted to wait for them to arrive at the warehouse for him to ask, but Batman arriving and blaming him for everything was just what he needed to get the push to ask right now.

"Are you, or are you not?" He asked, sneering in her face, even if it was covered by the mask.

Dany's eyes were wide, and she gulped in fear, then nodded. "I-I'll tell you." She said, then turned to Batman. "I'll tell you too, but please, after you know, you have to leave." She said, then sighed in relief when Red Hood dropped her arm.

She looked at Batman hopefully, hoping against hope that he would, then sighed in relief when he nodded. "But, I will be back to check in on you tomorrow. You need to go back to your parents." He said.

Her eyes turned sad, then she sighed. She's been doing that a lot today. "Okay, well, where should I start?" She asked.

Both of the men's eyes softened at her tone, which sounded like she had just allowed herself to give up, and Batman said, softly yet sternly, "How about you begin the night of the party?"

Dany's eyes widened at the information he just gave away, then sighed and nodded. "Might as well get it over with." She mumbled, then took a big breath and started to tell the whole story.


In the back of the warehouse that belonged to Red Hood, there was a dark figure stumbling around, looking for his next fix. You couldn't even call it walking like a drunk person, because he was swaying from side to side, almost falling over more than ten times, a far away and relaxed look on his face. He had blue eyes with a clouded over look, a hood over his head, masking his hair, large and baggy clothing disguising his body.

All he could think about at the moment was to find the man that his 'friends' had told him would give him what he needed. He was drifting in and out of consciousness, but he continued walking without even noticing. He didn't know what had made him turn to the drug. Maybe it was how bad his father was. Maybe the disappearance of a good girl he had just met, or maybe the disappearance of his best friend. Whatever it was, he had turned to the drug, and he had been hating himself ever since. But, it was the only thing that actually kept him going.

Red Hood and Dany were walking back to the warehouse, seeing that there was no way to find a car at this hour, and the silence was completely tense. Red Hood was kind of mad at her for hiding so much from him, but he was actually glad that he finally knew what had happened to her. He swore to himself that he would never, ever let her go on her rounds again. Plus, the happiness kind of radiated from Dany. Batman had just told them that Vigilante was alive and well, but had also warned them that they would have to meet him again. Well, he had said Dany, but there was no way Red Hood was leaving Dany alone with him. He could kidnap her!

Suddenly, Dany gasped and left his side, running towards a... Was that a hobo? Stumbling behind his warehouse. He fell over, Dany barely catching him because of his height, laughter leaving his lips.

"Carmen, get away from him!" Red Hood yelled, running towards the two of them.

But, she just ignored him and laid the hobo on his back. The hoodie fell back, showing the man's red hair. Dany gasped in shock, recognizing the face and hair. Red Hood looked down at him curiously, wondering who this was. The way that Dany reacted, she should've known something.

"Roy!"

I love cliffies, don't you? Five reviews and I will update tomorow.
