I stand in the bathroom, looking at the mirror with disgust. I already hate myself for what I am about to do. I stare into my own eyes for a moment more before putting the black mask over my face.

When I had awoken back in my hotel room, I found the black mask on my bed along with my black combat boots and gloves, and black cargo pants and a long sleeved shirt.

Sitting on the floor by the foot of the bed, there was a black duffle bag. Inside was a belt that held a taser, a gun, and some rope. There was also a small bag with a cloth covered in chloroform. Lastly, there is a device a little smaller than my phone, and on it was a grid map of gotham, with a little red dot that moved through the city. And I know that that red dot is my target.

Now I stand in front of the mirror, wearing the dark outfit.

They could have given this mission to anyone, but they gave it to me, because they want to break me.

I have to choose between my little brother, who I finally got back, and my wife, who I love with all of my heart.

And I choose amber. At least this way, I can be with Dick and make sure that he isn't harmed too much. I look at the clock - it's 9 o'clock. I only have thee hours to get Dick.

I pull out the tracking device, and raise an eyebrow. Why is he in downtown Gotham at this time? It's not safe. Then I remind myself that he wouldn't be safe at home either, thanks to me.


downtown Gotham City:

Robin jumps and flips through the night. The cold air whipping through his hair makes him feel free. He runs to the end of another roof and jumps off over the street. He quickly pulls out his grappling hook and shoots it to the building across the street. The hook catches on the edge of the building and pulls him up. When he is safely on top of the tall skyscraper, he looks back to the one he had just jumped off of and smiles. He loves the feeling of being high up.

He sits down on the edge of the roof of the tall building, Wayne Enterprises, and takes out his phone. He lets his smile fall when he sees that Mark has not called him back.

He sighs and puts the phone back in his belt. He decides that he will just stay up here for a while and breathe.


with Mark:

Mark follows the tracker, making sure to stay in the shadows. He stops in an alley behind Wayne Enterprises. According to the grid map on the device, Dick was on top of the building. He thinks it to be a little strange that Dick would be up there this late, but seeing as how Bruce does own the building, he doesn't think much of it.

He backs away from the building before taking a running start and jumping up to grab a windowsill. Inwardly he smiles. 'The acrobatics should really come in handy.' he thinks to himself and begins climbing to an open window on the fourth floor.

When he gets inside, he skillfully avoids the late night workers, and makes his way to the roof.

When he gets up to the roof he opens the door without making a sound and slips out into the cold night air. He quickly ducks into the shadows and looks around for his younger brother. He sees a figure sitting on the edge of the building, but it's not Dick. Mark's eyes widen when he realizes who it is. It's Robin, the boy wonder.

'Why is he here?! He can't see me! He must be pretty upset because of what I did to him and that magic girl.' Mark quickly looked back down at the tracker in his hand.' Where was Dick? It says he is right behind me?' Mark whirled around, his eyes wide. Standing there right behind him was Robin.

"Why are you spying on me?" he asks in a dark voice.

Startled by the boys sudden appearance, Mark dropped the tracker.

As soon as mark recovered from his shock, he took a fighting stance, and Robin did the same.

"I'll ask again. Why are you spying on me? and what were you doing in that underground room?"

Mark doesn't answer, partly because he doesn't know what to say. Mark can see his anger in the way he holds his stance. "Fine, don't talk." he said after a moment of silence. Robin then jumps at Mark throwing kicks and punches. Mark does his best to block, but a well placed kick sends him stumbling back.

Mark regains his balance just on time to block a punch to his head.

Robin goes to throw another punch, but Mark catches his hand.

He pulls hard on Robin's arm, making him stumble forward, then Mark drove his other fist into Robin's side.

The whites of Robin's mask widen and he stumbles back, his arms wrapping around his ribs. Normally it would not have hurt him so much, but since he already had a few broken ribs it hurt pretty bad.

Mark took this chance and kicked out his leg, successfully sweeping Robin's legs out from under him.

When Robin hit the ground, the force pushed the air out from his lungs, and the impact jarred his ribs, sending waves of pain through his chest.

Mark then moved to punch the boy while he was down, but Robin caught his fist. Mark continued to push down, but Robin managed to kick the back of his knee, making it give out. Mark fell to his knees, but was back on his feet in a moment. He did not, however, expect to be tackled by Robin. The impact of the smaller boy pushed Mark down to his back with Robin on top of him. The two of them wrestled for a moment, Mark trying to throw Robin off of him, and Robin trying to pull off Mark's mask so he could see who was behind it.

Robin finally got a good grip on the mask, he pulled on it and it slipped off, but before he could see the face of the man behind it the man's hand shot out and grabbed his face. The man pushed his head back to a very uncomfortable position before using his hold to push Robin off of him.

Robin winced when he heard a small snapping sound come from his neck. He hit the ground, then opened his eyes. He heard a sharp intake of breath, and looked up at the man who was now on his feet. Robin felt his heart stop. Standing over him was his brother.

"Dick?" He heard his name fall from his brother's lips, and that's when Dick saw his mask in Mark's hand.
