And the shark attacks once more, and with this attack comes a new chapter! I enjoyed the reviews I received, and there will be some more Chalant in this chapter, later. But for now we look into the world of everyone else. Why? You'll have to read to find out.

Gotham City, Arkham Asylum, November 15th, 4:30

Penelope Young POV (Didn't see this coming did you)

"Have ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within? I have Doctor Young, you do not understand the pain. You will never understand" I stopped the interview tapes and sighed, I've been reviewing my sessions with Doctor Fries, hoping to hear him say something about the breakout.

After the young heroes left Arkham I've been more attentive to my patients, listening more, seeing if any of them have given any hint about the breakout or anything else happing in the Asylum. I am uncertain about why I am, I felt obligated to help the young heroes.

"Doctor Young Miss your four thirty is here" a guard said from behind my office door, I took a deep breath and prepared myself for my patient. "Hello Doctor Young" Poison Ivy said in a flirty tone, she took a seat in front of me and I just gave her my usual smile. "Hello Dr. Isley, how are you" I said turning the interview tape on.

"I am doing fine, did you do something with your hair Penelope" Ivy asked giving me a flirty smile, "Miss Isley I have some questions for you" I said calmly and she huffed in response. "Why can't you play this little game Penny, I look forward to these little meetings and watching you blush and swoon over me" Ivy said seductively making me cringe slightly.

Ivy enjoys toying with me, making various suggestions, she loves it when she's able to break through my normal stone hard state of mind. She says she does it because she likes me. I believe she's simply avoiding the topic at hand. "Pamela, what do remember from the day the accident happened" I asked not smiling and she pouted, "Everything, I remember Jason and his blasted actions all because I denied him" she said.

"I of course had my vengeance later, my babies took care of the bad man" she said softly reaching for the pot of flowers at the end of my desk, the flowers brightened at her reach. "You could have been famous Pamela, after the accident you could have used your new powers to make breakthroughs in your field" I said and she seemed to think I over. "Why would I help humanity, once I heard my babies for the first time, I knew I had to help them" she answered confusing me.

"I've read your work Pamela, it's amazing, you made breakthroughs that still have yet to be discovered by others, you could have help nature by going through the field of science, made more breakthroughs and you could have gained the world's attention through your work" I argued and she shook her head. "Waste my time and gifts with a bunch of sexist old geezers, the world doesn't care about nature, they care about their pathetic life's, the next big game, the newest advancements in technology, no one cares about nature the way I do Penny" she answered fiercely and I sighed.

I could have kept pushing the topic, told her that everything isn't what it used to be, but it's pointless with Ivy. "Alright Pamela, tell me how did you feel later after the accident" I asked and she smiled, "free, I felt amazing" she said happily and I nodded and brought a paper out.

"Pamela according to your medical records that your womb is damaged, beyond repair and you are incapable of having children, how does that make you feel" I said with a slight sad tone and Ivy frowned and my flower deflated with her. "Everything comes with a price Doctor Young, and the one I paid to receive my amazing powers was no longer able to have children" she said simply and I could tell she was hurt.

"Pamela, you're talking about it as if it was nothing, you care about children, you can't deny it" I said and she scoffed, "name a time I cared that much humanity" she said and I smirked. "Well this foster home had a bad foster parent and they were attacked by a large Venus fly-trap" I said and she simply huffed, "he stepped on some of my babies, and those children were taking care of them and I was mad about him stepping on the plants" she said and I smirked again.

"Pamela, you care for humanity, maybe not a lot but you care about some parts of humanity" I said softly and she gave me a small smile, "well, my best friend is human, I do like some children, and my doctor is cute, so I guess I do care for some humanity" she said flirty and I felt the smallest blush come to my face. "Thank you Pamela, that will be all, see you next week" I said and she nodded as the guard came in to take her away.

"Wow, she likes you, I owe some big money to Shiva" a female voice said in the corner of my office, I looked to see a somewhat tall woman, wearing a large blue trench coat and hat, and the strangest thing was she had no face. "Don't call the guards, I come in peace and something to help the young heroes that you've been trying to do for a while" she said walking over and throwing a folder on my desk.

"As I speak Batman is on his way with the exact folder and knowledge that you are receiving it as well, I suggest you decide wisely on the contents of that folder, it could mean the breakthrough you've been waiting for" she said disappearing in a cloud of smoke and I looked at the folder.

I opened and gasped at the contents, "this can't be" I whispered and the door opened once again and Batman was standing there with a folder, "you need to come with me Doctor Young, you'll read the folder on your way to the Watch Tower, this is a matter that needs the League's attention" he said and I nodded getting up and grabbing the folder.

Firefly POV, Blüdhaven Warehouse, 6:30

Damn Night Brat, and damn Miss Magic prissy, SCREW ALL THEM DAMN HEROES, THEY WILL BURN! This was what I was thinking as I walked through Pacific Casino, Warren's new Casino, heading straight for the Diamond floor. Reserved for only those Warren likes, or doing business with. The bouncer lets me in without so much a thought.

Back to me hating heroes while in the elevator, damn those annoying brats, they continue to put out my sparks across the city, and those killing off our men are quite annoying as well. If only they would run into one another, imagine the fight between them, the Night Brat and Magic prissy don't kill and the other two do. Flames will be ignited, yes, yes, YES THAT'S IT I thought as I reached my floor and rushed to Warren.

"Warren, I have the solution to our recent problems" I said happily and he was getting his teeth sharpened by some poor man, I was surprised the man hasn't passed out yet. He made a motion with his hand for me to continue, "you know the heroes that have been killing off our men since we took control of the Southern docks and started working with Axel, why not set up a trap" I said and he gave me a look of confusion and I'm pretty sure if he could talk he would be giving me a sarcastic comment.

"Before you say anything, we set the trap but the Night brat and his magic girlfriend attack the other heroes" I said and was still looking at me like I was crazy. Well more than usual. "The killing heroes run into non-killing heroes and they're bound to ignite a fight" I said and he was looking skeptical.

"Look we get the heroes focused on one another and lose their attention on us, we keep building up and see if those other stuck gang leaders want to deal with us, or we take them out" I said and he was thinking it over. The man stepped away from Warren, "burn the bank in west Blüdhaven, and make sure Axel knows" he said and I grinned happily.

"Will do boss, just make sure we have the men and weapons to handle it" I replied and he grinned, showing me his newly sharpened white teeth. "Of course, only the best for my men" he said and I took a seat and ordering a glass of whiskey.

Nightwing POV, Blüdhaven rooftops, November 19, 8:30

Alright got a tip from my partner that Great White was going to rob the Western bank of Blüdhaven, and Firefly was in charge. Warren White stormed Blüdhaven after taking out Galen, he took complete control of the southern docks, been able to avoid the police for weeks and is building an Empire from the remains of Galen, his own fortune, and the support of Gang leader Axel Flames.

Thankfully not everything was bad these past few weeks, Zatanna and I decided to try our relationship again and Mistress Magic is now a protector of the city. Black Bat has been slowly getting friendlier with the team according to Tim, but he also says she's been acting strangely lately and she's been hanging out with Superboy, Miss Martian, and Wondergirl.

Now I would think it good that's she's hanging out with other heroes, but Tim says she's been acting like she's studying the team. She also goes on a lot of solo missions, barely keeping communications up, she even figured out how to turn her tracker off. Bruce and Tim are really worried, but I think we should leave her to do what she needs to do. She's used to acting solo, I told them to give her some time to get fully connected to everyone on the team.

A large explosion stopped my thoughts and Firefly busted through the upper window, laughing happily, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATION TO MY FLAMES" he shouted before blasting off into the East. Warren's men started to pour out of the front doors and I smirked, but before I jumped down someone started to take out the men. I looked to the rooftop a couple buildings away and saw a sniper. "It's one of them" I whispered and I started running over there.

The sniper saw me and started running away, "oh no you don't" I shouted taking my Night-Claw out and firing it at the sniper, grabbing their leg. I pulled the cord and dragged the sniper in front of me, and it was a woman. She wore a dark purple suit and had bat-like ears, it showed off her belly button and she looked armed to the teeth. She also had long black hair and dark blue eyes. {Suck at descriptions, look up Huntress for better imagine}

"Nice disarm, but you left yourself open" she said smugly and swiped my feet making me fall to the ground and she jumped up, I got up and went for a jab at her ribs, she dodged and nailed my left arm. I pulled my escrima sticks and went in for a stun and she dodged and tried to kick my away, I jumped back and whacked her right leg, making her kneel. [Suck at fight scenes as well]

She tried to uppercut me but I grabbed her arm and put my escrima stick around her neck, "make one move and my escrima sticks will shock you into unconscious" I said and she stopped struggling, "I underestimated you Nightwing, my mistake" she said simply and I smirked. "Everyone does, now who are you" I demanded and she didn't respond, I then heard a small click of a gun.

"I suggest you let Huntress go Nightwing" a robotic male voice said and I looked up to see something that almost made me drop me escrima sticks, I looked like Batman. But it wasn't. He looked like Batman but militarized, he wore a blue visor that showed bright white robot eyes, and he had two holsters, a belt filled with various gadgets, and he was wearing some heavy duty armor. And the symbol on the center of his chest and the side of his arms looked just like the symbol of Arkham Asylum, but no words, just the symbol.

"Now let her go or else things get messy bird boy" he taunted, his voice was defiantly modified, I slowly pulled away from the Huntress and she got up and walked over to her partner, "thanks did you complete your mission" she asked and he nodded. "Of course, everything is set" he said, "who are you" I asked and he titled his head, like he was smirking beneath his visor.

"Call me the Arkham Knight, and now we'll be leaving" he said moving to the small jump between the buildings, still keeping his gun on me, "I will find you" I said and he laughed. "No you won't, unless you want your magic girlfriend in some serious danger" he said and my body stiffened and I felt cold. "What did you do to her" I demanded and he chuckled, "nothing serious" he responded.

"But if want her safe then I suggest you head to lower Blüdhaven and find her somewhere in an abandoned building, blindfolded, gagged, and tied to a chair" he continued and I curled my fists in anger. "So Nightwing, what will it be, the mission given to you by Batman and track us down, or your girlfriend that's bound in one of the worst places in this town" he taunted and placed his gun in his right holster and he and Huntress grappled away.

I started running straight to lower Bludhaven, "Nightwing to Batcave, come in, is any one there" I practically shouted over my com link, "Master Grayson is something wrong" Alfred said over the com. "Zatanna is in trouble, I need your help to find her, she defenseless" I said with fear in my voice, "I'll see if her phone, or Justice League communicator is on for me to track" Alfred said calmly and I just kept running across the rooftops.

"Master Grayson I hate to inform you that Miss Zatanna's phone is in her apartment and her communicator is either turn off or destroyed, I am trying to find any means of finding her" Alfred replied and I turned my heat sensors on and started to scan the buildings. "Master Grayson, I believe Miss Zatanna's tracker is giving off a weak signal, I'm sending the location now" Alfred said and my cowl received the info.

"Thanks Alfred, I'll be at the cave with Zatanna once I find her" I said over the com and ran towards the building giving off Zatanna's signal and I came to door, I tried to open it but of course it was locked, I went back and rammed the door down. I crashed through and picked myself up and saw Zatanna, just like the Arkham Knight said, "Zatanna" I screamed and she didn't move, she was knocked out.

I quickly untied her and picked her up bridal style, I have to get her to a Zeta-tube and to the Batcave, I rushed outside and headed straight for my safe house, "stay with me Zee" I whispered and she didn't respond. It took some time and I reached my safe house, and went straight for the Zeta-tube and I was brought to the cave with Alfred standing by with a stretcher ready.

"Thanks Alfred" I said placing Zatanna on the stretcher and we took Zatanna over to the medical bay for Alfred to give her a checkup, "only a minor concussion, nothing more Master Grayson, I also suggest you contact Master Bruce, he at the Watchtower with Miss Kyle and Doctor Young" Alfred said and I nodded, heading for the Bat-computer.

"Nightwing to Batman, come in Batman" I said and soon Batman appeared on the screen, "Batman here" he responded and I sighed in relief, "Zatanna is here in the cave" I said and Batman didn't respond. "One moment Nightwing" he said and soon the screen changed and showed the entire league, "Nightwing, tell us where did you find Zatanna, we've been trying to contact her all night" Batman said taking a seat.

"I confronted one of the vigilantes after Firefly hit the West bank of Bludhaven, I was able to temporarily subdue them, a woman named the Huntress, but before I got any information out her, the other one came, he called himself the Arkham Knight" I said and they all nodded. "I was going to purse them but the Arkham Knight said that if I did then I would leave Zatanna in lower Bludhaven, and I went for Zatanna, and they said something about a mission" I finished and they all nodded again.

"Is Zatanna alright" Superman asked and I nodded, "minor concussion, she's still out cold but fine" I answered and they seemed a bit relieved, "watch over her Nightwing, the League will finish up this meeting, and I expect a report on the Huntress and this Arkham Knight " Batman said ending the call. I went back to Zatanna and sat beside her, "I'm right here Zee" I whispered and she stirred.

"Dick" she said weakly and I smiled, "I'm here Zee" I said softly and she gave me a weak smile, "what happened" she asked and I frowned a little. "Someone knocked you out and tied you to a chair in Bludhaven, they called themselves the Arkham Knight and the Huntress" I said and she frowned as well. "I remember some robot sounding guy knocking me out, that's all" she said and Alfred appeared with a glass of water, "Thank you Alfred" Zatanna said and he gave her a warm smile.

"Hope you feel better Miss Zatanna" he said and went back further into the cave, "Batman will be by later" I said and she nodded and drank her water, "thank you Dick" she said softly and I gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll always be there for you Zee" I said and took her hand and she smiled, "I love you Dick" she said, "I love you too" I replied without hesitation and went for another kiss.

Unknown location, 11:26

"Congratulations, you all have made a wise and crucial decision in your lives by accepting the invitation to the Rouges" a male voice boomed, there was a number of figures standing in front of the male figure. "You will all do what the Justice League is too afraid to do, you will take the fight to criminals, you will destroy corruption, justice will be served" the male shouted and the others cheered in response.

"The Justice League says they are the protectors of the Earth, but they allow the Earth to become corrupt and grow darker, we shall right their wrong, we shall fight the corruption, we will fight it until it is no more, we shall truly save this world" the male figure said again with everyone cheering once again. "My name is Azrael, I am warrior, a protector, a hero willing to take a life, and I shall teach you, I will guide you" Azrael said and the others cheered.

"We have remained in the shadows as much as we can, but we have emerged and revealed ourselves to the Batman alongside his own partners, and soon the League will know our name, we are forced to come to the light to continue our mission" Azrael said and everyone was clapping. "The League has connections to the United Nations and the Governments of the world, and their home towns, but we have more" Azrael began and everyone was listening.

"We have connections, sources, agents, and more in Gotham City, the United Nations, Bludhaven, Star City, Costal, anywhere that a Justice League member or member of the Young Hero team is, we have a connection to the city" Azrael said and they clapped again. "We have an agent within the young team of hero's and soon the League itself, we are everywhere, and the League cannot say the same" Azrael said and another figure came next to him, and she had no face.

"As of right now Operation Liberation has begun in Bludhaven, the Arkham Knight and the Huntress have begun their missions, and now you must join them, if this mission is successful in Bludhaven then we shall move forward to the rest of the city watched over by the League or any hero connected to the League" she said and Azrael nodded. "Listen to the Question, for she will be watching along with myself and Lady Shiva, now dismissed" he shouted and the other figures nodded and went straight for the exit.

"It has begun Batman, I have made my move, now it is time for you to do the same" Azrael said to himself as he watched the newest members of the Rouges leave their headquarters.

Pacific Casino, Bludhaven, 11:48, Warren POV

Firefly came back with a most of the men I gave him for this robbery, "the plan worked I assume" I said and Lynns threw a large sack on the table in front of me, "you tell me" he said and I looked into the bag and saw a sea of money and I grinned. "The heroes" I asked and Lynns took a seat, "a sniper was on the roof and Night-brat went after her just like I said, she took out about four men and the rest escaped" he answered and I laughed.

"I admit I had my doubts Lynn, but you came through, I see some upgrades fresh from Penguin in your future" I said and Lynns chuckled, "good, Axel offered me some prime jobs" he said and said man walked in, "hello Warren, Firefly saw your work on the news, you sir light up that boring bank" Axel said taking a seat.

"I brightened the place up all right" he said and I sighed, I hate his damn fire jokes sometimes. "Hey boss" one of my men said, "what" I said coldly and he simply came up to me with a letter, "from Mal the Venator" he said leaving me and I opened the letter quickly. I skimmed the letter, "what does that so-called hunter have to say" Axel said bored, and I started to laugh.

"What's so funny White" Lynns said and I handed him the letter and he began to laugh, "alright give it here" Axel said taking the letter from a laughing Lynns and Axel didn't start laughing, "he's declared war on you, how is that funny" Axel said and I waved it off. "He thinks he can go to war with me, he should have learned from Crater, never mess with a gang leader from Gotham" I said and Lynns stopped laughing.

"When can I reduce him to ash and cinder" he asked, "soon Lynns, we have to make some arrangements first with the Bludhaven Police Department, make sure they say out of this gang war, don't want them arresting my men during a war" I said smiling and Lynns chuckled as well.

"I would help you Warren but this is between you and Mal, and I go neutral in this war, but I can't stop my men from helping you" Axel said cryptically and I nodded, "good to know, Lynns will be getting some upgrades soon and he just may have time for the jobs you offered" I said and he nodded as well.

"When will these Bludhaven gang leaders learn, never mess with a gang leader from Gotham City" I said lightening my cigar and taking a big puff. This city is going to be mine.

Watchtower, 11:17 AM, November 21

"When are we going to decide, we've been debating for days over this, I say we just tell her" Green Lantern Hal Jordan said slamming his fist on the table and Wonder Woman nodded, "agreed, we have heard the argument from every angle, if we allow her to know, then imagine the good that could come from it" Wonder Woman said.

"She still has the ability to control virtually anyone, we can't trust her, the Wisdom of Solomon advices against it" Shazam said, "Solomon's wisdom is out of date, if the doc says it will help her and it could help us in the future then I say go through with it" Green Arrow said and Captain Atom slammed his fist on the table. "She's a damn criminal, she won't change just because of this" he said and the Martian Man-Hunter then spoke, "I suggest we listen to Dr. Young, Catwoman, and the Batman, they knew her better than anyone" he said in calm voice.

"It's true" Catwoman said smirking at the heroes in front of her while Dr. Young merely sighed next to her, "I implore you all to listen to us, going through with this will change her, she will turn over a new leaf, give her time and help her along the way and she'll be become a wonderful woman and a very powerful ally to the League" Dr. Young said.

"Let's end this now with a vote, and if its tie then we call a third party to settle it, we should have done this the first time" Aqua-man suggested and everyone murmured in agreement, "all those in favor of telling her raise your hand" he said and more than half of the league rose their hand, "and those against it" he said again and only a few hands rose. "It's settled, we tell her, Batman, Dr. Young, or Catwoman will inform her" Black Canary said and the League nodded.

They then realized that Batman wasn't present, "uh where's Batman" Flash asked, "oh he left an hour ago to tell Pam, he also said that one of you good guys will take me and Young home to Gotham" Catwoman replied casually and the League simply sighed. "He was going to tell her no matter what we said" Wonder Woman said getting up, "and I'll escort you home Selina, and Dr. Young" she said again with said women getting up.

Superman was left alone in the meeting room, he simply looked at the files and a small smile came to his face, "It's for the best" he whispered before getting up to leave.
