Chapter 28

Beth, Barbara, Bruce and the team were now in the living room, staring Dick who clenched the letter in his hand.

I don't know what to do! If I don't go and give him the pendant, Black Canary, Flash and Superman will die! But if I give Lucifer the pendant, he'll be able to turn people into full vampires! So what do I do . . . !

Dick's face turned grim which caused everyone to worry. Had he decided to give Lucifer the pendant?

" . . . Bruce, I need to ask you a favor," Dick said, standing up.

"Anything," Bruce answered.

" . . . Take care of Beth for me."

Bruce's eyes tightened with sadness. "Of course."

Roy's and Barbara's eyes also tightened with sadness. They knew what he was planning. And so did Beth.

"Onii-chan, please don't! There has to be some other way-" Beth started to plead with her brother but Dick interrupted her.

Dick gave Beth a sad smile. "But there isn't." And with those final words, Dick flashed out of the living room and the mansion.

"Does anyone care to explain that?" Artemis asked, her eyes watching Bruce holding a crying Beth in his lap.

Roy stared at her. " . . . He's going to kill Lucifer."

_Lucifer POV_

He was now roaming the fields where he had turned Dick five thousand years ago. Lucifer couldn't help but smirk. He couldn't wait till he finally had the pendant again.

And not to mention his son.

Oh yes, he would finally have his son under his thumb, under his control. He would no longer allow his son to roam free.

Lucifer chuckled as he imagined how Dick would fight him, how he would defy his own father. It was so funny how children fought their parents over everything but never won.

Dick, you are just like other children. When their parents make them do something they don't want to, they fight and lose the fight. You will also lose.

_Dick's POV_

He had slowed to a walk when he reached the east coast of America, staring at the Atlantic Ocean. This would be the last time he would see it. Dick silently sat down in the sand and stared at little wisps of clouds slowly move across the sky.

Oh, how he envied the clouds. They had no worries, their only duty to bring rain to the world.

But, like him, had no reason to speed up. They had all the time in the world to spare.

But at least they had a purpose.

Standing up, Dick dusted himself off. It was time to go.

More like it's time to die . . .
