Chapter 3: Dick

Tim and Jason left to get they're gangs and I was left at base alone. There was really no point for me to stay there, so I went to my loft to get some things if I am going to be living at the base for a while. I was there packing some things into two backpacks when I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and saw a brown haired young woman that I had never seen before, so I asked "Do I... Know you?" "No, but I know you," she said, stepping in.

"You may want to close the door before I tell you what I know," she said as she sat down on my couch. I closed the door and walked over to a chair across from the couch and sat down. "Rewind, who are you, what are you doing in my apartment, and what exactly do you know?" I asked nervously. "Who I am doesn't matter. Dick Grayson, adopted song of Bruce Wayne, half brother to Tim Drake, Jason Todd, and Damian Wayne." "So, that's all you know? Also, you know Jason is dead..." I lied. "Don't even try that on me. I know more than that. Former Robin, partner to the Dark Knight, you moved on and became Nightwing, Jason died and was revived, still not sure how, but he was Robin and became Red Hood, Tim Drake was Robin and became Red Robin, Damian was the most recent Robin and died a few days ago. Dick, I've known for months, I was just waiting for the right time to say it," she said.

"So, what can I call you? You obviously know everything about me, can I at least get your name?" I tried to stay calm. "I like to go by Onyx. I'll tell you my real name eventually..." She said slyly. "Thank you, that's all I need to know." I whipped out my computer and started typing. "Mia Santorro, 17 years old, hero alias Onyx, trained at a ninja academy since you were 10. You know multiple forms of martial arts, and besides that, you don't seem to have any powers," I read. "Anyways, how did you figure out who I am?" I asked her, closing my laptop. "I do my homework. I have been trying to figure out who you are for longer than a few moths actually," she told me, "I've only known absolutely for three weeks. You guys are really good at covering up your tracks. I guess it is what you guys were trained for."

"So that's all you wanted to tell me?" I walked to the kitchen and got two glasses of water and handed one to her. "No, I know you guys are going to avenge Damian, so I want to help. You didn't really think you could take down Damian's killers on you own, did you?" she asked, taking a drink. "We are going to need help. I don't want to let a stranger in..." "If I was able to figure out who you are, don't you think I can help? And no, I am not a spy." She was telling the truth, I didn't find anything wrong with her record, and she could prove valuble. "Okay, but your going to have to move from where you are currently living for the time being. You sure you want to do this?" I questioned. "I thought hard about it, and I do, you need my help. I'll be back in 45 minutes with everything I need." She walked out the door.

I packed everything I will need for the next weeks, and as Onyx said, she was back in 45 minutes. I grabbed my backpacks and went down to the parking garage. "You have a ride?" I asked. She nodded and pointed to a black motorcycle on the other side of the garage. We both got on our rides and I led the way to our hideout.

We arrived and I gave her the grand tour of the place. I showed her a room with two beds that she will share with one of the titans, probably... Solstice I think her name is. She got settled in while I researched Talia's infinate web of connections. She is allied somehow with every criminal organization in the world, big or small. Of course she is. She's Talia. Ra's daughter. That explains a lot.

Jason walked in two hours later with his team and Katana. I wonder how they picked her up, but I don't ask. Everyone got settled as we waited for Tim to get back. Jason is obviously coming up with a plan, Star is getting to know Onyx, and Arsenal is who knows where. I still can't believe I walked out on Bruce, he must feel terrible. I wonder if he is still going to go after Talia on his own. He should probably just stay with Damian's body so Talia doesn't get her evil hands on it and destroy it, then we would have no chance of reviving him. Barbara must feel bad that she can't help, but we understand her reason.

Tim finally got here around 5 PM with two new friends. Everyone got acquainted while Jason, Tim and I went to the battle room to plan. "So, it looks like everyone brought some extras. Do either of you're friends have any experience?" Jason asked, crossing his arms. "Onyx figured out who all of us are..." I replied. "And you let her join?" Tim yelled, clenching his fists. "Yes, I didn't see anything wrong with her record, so she isn't a spy or anything," I tried to calm him down. "And how would you know that?! If she was able to figure out who we are, don't you think she would be able to cover up her past!" He yelled back. "Don't you think I would've seen that?! I have more experience than any of you, and I'm one of the best hackers in the world! If you don't trust me, than I'm obviously not wanted." I walked to the door. "I'm better. You'll see who she is once I'm done." Tim mumbled as Starfire opened the door and stepped in. "Is everything okay?" She asked. "Everything's peachy." I said angrily and slammed the door as I stormed out.

I was about to step on the platform to take me back to the surface when Onyx grabbed my shoulder. "Where are you going?" She asked. "I'm leaving. They don't want my help." I brushed her hand off. "Are you kidding me? This entire operation will fall apart without you," she said. "Maybe Damian's death is affecting you more than you know..." She said, then turned away. "Suit up. I'll wait for you."

Onyx came back a minute later and we got on the platform. We rode up to the surface and I got on my motorcylce. "Get on." I told her. "But my bike is over there... But okay." She got on and I pulled out, then drove up onto an alley. She grabbed the seat as we sped forward through the half-deserted back alleys of Gotham. I drove out to an empty lot just outside the city limits and stopped, Onyx got off the bike and took a few steps forward.

"Nothing's here. Why did you bring me out here?" She asked. "Because this is the most meaningful place in my life. Its where my parents died. I come back here when I start wondering why I put up with those idiots. Sure, I've never said that to they're faces, and I'm not about to. They are my brothers, and allies for that matter, so I have to deal with them." I took my helmet off. "Dick, I'm sorry..." She said. "It's okay, it happened a long time ago, and what happened in the past should stay in the past." "So, are you going back to the resistance now?" She asked, coming back towards the bike. "Yeah, sure, they might need my help. Right now, if its okay with you, I just want to stay here for a bit..." "Its fine, take as long as you want," She said, walking a ways back and sitting down.

We got back to base in an hour or so and I caught up to Tim. "You have Onyx pegged wrong. She isn't the kind of person who would just sell our identities. She figured us out because she wanted to help," I explained. "Think what you want." He muttered before walking away.

I went to the battle room to run surveillance and found Jason. "We attack tomorrow." He said abruptly. "Uh... Okay? Did you tell anyone else?" I asked, not expecting what he had just said. "Not yet. I'm still figuring out where." He continued to type. "And you didn't think to tell us about this why? We are a team, and you are not the leader. We all have equal power here, so stop acting like your the new Bruce Wayne and we are Robin all over again." I sat down and started working. "You asked for my help, and now you have it. I don't have to be here. I came because you wouldn't be able to do this without me." He got up and put his mask on. "You just did it for more power. You can't lie to me." I muttered when he walked out.
