SORRY FOR THE WAIT! Hey everyone again, I am so sorry about the quality of the last chapter, in my defense I was half asleep when I wrote it, but I am determined to make it up to you guys. Anyway I hope you enjoy this new chapter of awesomeness unfortunately after this I will probably only be maybe three or four more chapters away from the end and then I will have an epilogue (so we are getting close to the end my friends.) Anyway enjoy this chapter!

Previously on Ten Years Later

How foolish of them to think that he hadn't planned on them finding him. Yes everything was going as plan and by the time he was through with them not only would he permanently have his apprentice back but he would also forever be rid of the incommodious Justice League.

They were fucked.

That was the thought that ran through each and every one of the hero's minds as they stood back to back in the middle of the room, surrounded by at least fifty villain's both minor and major. The supposed ass kicking they had for DeathStroke hadn't gone as plan, for right when the two teams merged together they were quickly cornered.

Batman thanked his lucky stars that he had sent Ms. Martian away with Nightwing before going after Wilson, at least he was safe. Despite the uneven fighting numbers however the make shift team was still full of energy and anger, and were ready and eager to punch something. So without hesitation they dispersed and launched themselves at the enemy.

Each member was taking on at least three villains at a time, more if the villain was only a common thug. All three of the bats however fought together against DeathStroke, each punch and kick fueled only by absolute loathing for the man. Regardless of the numbers, the fight was evenly match and even seemed to be tipped in Wilson's favor leaving the Bats to more than once go on defense mode. The others were faring worse than the Gothamites, already both Aquaman and Martian Manhunter were being brought down by a small not so controlled fire and more were following their suit.

Soon both villains and heroes laid face down in the underground, bleeding, unconscious, and bruised. Yet still the Bats fought not ready to give up, unfortunately they had no choice. As DeathStroke dodged a rather powerful punch from the agitated Dark Knight, they were joined by an abundance of Halloween themed robots carrying Nightwing and Ms. Martian in their midst. DeathStroke saw the looks of shock and hopelessness fall on the two Robins faces and laughed softly at their reactions. He nodded to three villain's standing at the sides and in an instant they were upon the Bats tying them up and dragging them towards the others.

"Did you really think it would be so easy to take him away from me? Did you really think that I didn't have precautions set up just in case this were to happen? Our cameras were able to spot you as soon as you crossed over into Jump; you were doomed from the start." Walking away from the three he stepped up to the bot holding Nightwing and took him from its arms moving swiftly to the front of the room as he did so. Nightwing who was beginning to stir groaned at the jarred movement and let out a cry of pain as DeathStroke dropped him harshly to the ground before his feet. Those conscious growled in anger and struggled against their bonds furiously. Wilson smiled at the reactions and before turning to the group, kicked Nightwing swiftly, causing another painful cry to erupt from the wounded bird.

"STOP! Why are you doing this I thought you wanted him to be your apprentice." Turning he saw Tigress snarling at him a look of pure hatred evident on her masked face looking as though she wished nothing more than to kill him with her bare hands. He smiled again.

"Oh how threatening, I'm really very terrified at your hostile tone, but luckily you seem to be a bit tied up at the moment so I don't think I will stop." He kicked Wing again causing a small amount of blood to come out of the once boy wonders mouth. "Nightwing is mine and as I explained earlier to your fallen leader he will bend more freely to my will if he is trained with pain rather than reward."

"I swear if you hurt him again I will-"DeathStroke cut off the retort on Robins lips with a malevolent laugh.

"What will you do young Damian kill me? If you haven't noticed you are trapped, I hold all the cards; nothing can "save" your brother from his fate." As soon as the words came from his mouth a Bataring flew through the air and ripped through his shoulder knocking the man to his knees. DeathStroke looked at the three still bound Bats each looking as staggered as he did. Before he could say a word a dark silhouette came out towards him and with a thump threw him to the ground. The figure leaned over him red hair falling from their shoulders as they did so.

"Stay the fuck away from my husband." And with that Barbra Grayson punched DeathStroke in the nose causing his head to bounce painfully on the cement below him and knocking him out instantly. Standing back up the pregnant woman rushed over to Batman and undid his ropes. Red Robin gave her small smile as Robin scowled at her from next to him.

"Gordon what the hell are you doing here?" Barbra gave the robes binding the Dark Knight one last pull setting him free before turning to the young man.

"Well obviously I'm saving your asses because none of you are competent enough to bring back my husband without getting caught while doing it." And with that she turned away and rushed towards Nightwing who lay a few feet from the unconscious villain. Red Robin who was released by Batman stood up and walked swiftly over to them.

"I think what Robin means is how did you know we needed help?" Barbra began rapping bandages around the parts of Wings body that were bleeding more heavily and gently wiped his hair out of his face.

"Meghan called me mentally when she was ambushed saying you needed help. All the other leaguers weren't responding so me and Zee-"

"Wait Zatanna's here to?" Red Robin asked incredulously.

"Of course who do you think drove? I'm not supposed to be operating heavy machinery." They heard a scoff come from behind them as the other's made their way to the small group now free.

"But fighting an evil psychopath in your condition is fine right?" Wally said sarcastically crouching down next to his best friend. "I thought we told you guys to stay, it was too dangerous to come." Before Barbra could respond a soft voice cut through the conversation.

"Well you know Babs KF she never really knew how to follow orders." Every head snapped towards the ground where a now awake Nightwing lay looking up at them.

"You're alright!" Barbra exclaimed in relief holding him more tightly to her. Wing smiled softly and turned his head to place a small kiss on the inside of his wife's wrist.

"It takes more than a few cuts to take me down."
