April 8, 1:30 AM, Training Room.

Agni dropped his bow and drew his sword. He was running toward Abaddon, but Abaddon was just laughing in his face and stood his place, Agni jump and whipped his sword out

"You won't hurt me Agni I know your secrets I know your weaknesses 'hero'." Abaddon laughed some more at him.

Agni gritted his teeth and lunged at the half-demon "I am not a hero!"

"Nah ah uh…" said Abaddon sidestepping him."You hurt me and I will kill every single Ranger for I know where they are and I will torture every single one of them making them beg me to kill them first."

Agni ignored him, swinging his blade high and throwing several daggers low. Abaddon face curled up in a small wicked smile

"Fine you may not care about them but what about her?" Abaddon said

He was suddenly holding Zatanna…

Agni eyes were open and for a split second he had no idea where he was. He leaped out of his meditation with his hidden dagger out and he was in a battle ready stance. He looked around.

"Whew… it was just a dream, just a dream… Nobodies hurt. Everyone is safe. I'm just in my room nothing's wrong." Agni whispered reassuringly to himself

He stared out the window watching the sun was just coming up over the horizon. Agni stared at it admiring it for many seconds before he walked over to a table where he had laid his items, he picked up leather vest and strapped it on. He looked at his array of weapons on the table, he picked up his sword and strapped it onto his should and his bow and quiver on the other. He sighed as he slipped his fighting knives and crossbow onto his belt. "What kind of world do I live in?" he asked himself picking up his bag. He turned and looked at his cloak for several minutes deciding whether he should were it or not. "No." he said to himself. "I will no longer hide who I am." He turned and walked to the door. "At least not here." He added.

Agni walked into the training room and looked around. H marched over to the computer and looked at it with an expression of pure confusion on his face.

"I assume you need help." A robotic said voice from behind him.

Agni turned around and saw Red Tornado walking towards him. "Uh yeah I kinda do."

"Would you like me to send out some training robots for you to train on?"

"Um sure…"

"I guess you would like it on hard?"

"I guess."

Red Tornado typed something into the computer and several Robots appeared."

Agni said his thanks and whipped out his bow and pulled out an arrow he notched it into his bow "This will be fun." He said. The arrow suddenly was on fire, Agni smiled as he fired it exploded blasting the whole room with fire.

"That was a nice technique Agni." said Red Tornado

Agni smiled at him as more appeared he pulled out an arrow and shot it into the air.

It came down as a hundred with blue streaks coming out of it.

Agni quickly turned around and covered the back of his head as a heap scrap metal came flying at him.

"I see you may need a harder setting." Red Tornado said typing into the computer

Agni pulled out his sword and ran at the robots leaping over on driving his sword into another chopping another. Robots came up from behind him and smacked him in the back, Agni duck and rolled under it then he grinned at them

And levitated up to the ceiling.

He pulled a strange ball off his belt and dropped it into the pack of robots. There was a loud electrical surge and the bots exploded. He slowly lowered himself down onto the ground.

"Well done Agni." said Red Tornado

"Thank Red Tornado, I think I'm going to meditate now for a little while."

"Okay then if you want to train some more just press this button and it will spawn several goblin and troll holograms for you to fight."

"Okay thank you Red Tornado."

Agni walked into the middle of the and sat down crossing his legs he brought his index and thumb fingers together and closed his eyes

Hours later.

"Agni! Agni, can you hear me?" echoed a voice through Agni's head

Agni concentrated harder

"Richie?"

"Yes, listen to me their keeping us in some kind of dungeon and their testing on us like were animals."

"Can you tell me where you are?"

"All I remember seeing is a large statue of someone holding a torch, then we went somewhere underground."

"I'll find you as soon as I can."

"They have Zatanna somewhere too."

"Then I will have to come sooner."

Agni slowly opened his eyes.

Where in the abysses name am I going to find a huge statue holding a torch? He thought.

Maybe it's the Statue of Liberty Agni heard someone say in his head.

M'gann?

Who else?

Did I wake you?

Yes, you again lowered your mental defenses when you were talking to someone. Quite loudly I might add.

It was Richie.

There was a pause your dimensions Robin?

Yeah.

Ahh I heard what he said.

I'm too tired to think about right this minute I'm going to go kill these holograms.

Agni stood up and walked over to the computer

Did you talk to Zatanna?

Agni sighed I haven't had the chance yet. I made a mistake, and I'll fix it. Your meddling, no matter how good nature they are, are not helping.

Agni restored his mental defenses and pressed the button Red Tornado told him to.

Dozens of goblins and Trolls appeared

"This is more like it!" He smiled widely and ran towards them. He ran towards then pulling out his knives. He parried a blow plunging a knife into the holograms chest he turned and spun throwing his knives in several directions taking down.

While he was fighting M'gann walked in with Zatanna and Conner. They watched him fight more a long while. He was taking down trolls with his knives, he was ducking, spinning, parrying, lunging; it looked like a dance…a dance of death.

When he was done he sheathed his knives in there long sheaths and ran a hand down his hair. He turned around and saw them staring at him with amazement.

"What?"

"Did you see what you just did?" asked Conner

"Yeah I survived." Agni replied walking up to them. "I am 205 years old I've had time to practice"

"How old would that make you to us?" asked Zatanna

"I would be about your age 15 maybe 16 possibly 17, I'm not exactly sure. We elves age quickly until we hit about 15 then we age really slowly."

"Well Conner and I were going to have breakfast before we go to school. Would you like to join us?" said M'gann

"What's 'school'?" asked Agni following them down the hall

"It's a place where you learn things." M'gann said entering the kitchen "What would you like to eat?" she asked Agni

"I have food." Agni said rummaging through his bag. "So it's like the fighting academy or the wizard tower?"

"Yeah." Said Conner

Agni took out a package and sat down next to them at the table. "So-o-o Zatanna do you also go to this 'school' to?"

"No I don't, I study here." She said

"Ahh." Agni took out from the package cheese, bread, apples, jerky and laid it in front of them. "Fell free to have some. I have plenty." He said taking out more cheese and jerky, "I have elven bread, must be about 4 different types of cheese and, beef, lamb, goat, rabbit jerky, and some fresh apples."

"How are they still fresh?"

"Time stops in a bag of holdings or portable holes." Zatanna said picking up a piece of bread and cheese

"If you want I could teach you some magic from my dimension like I promised." Agni said not looking up

"Sure, if you want." Zatanna said not looking at him either

Agni lowered his mental defense slightly

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? He heard being screamed in his head. Don't lead her on like that!

I was going to apologize

Agni looked up at M'gann who was glaring at him.

"Agni I heard from Red Tornado that you can fly. Is it true?" Conner asked breaking the icy silence

Agni looked at him. "Fly? No but I can levitate when I'm not in the sun."

Zatanna looked up interested. "You can levitate? It's one of your abilities?"

Agni looked up "Yes it is. As long as I'm in the dark and the sun is not shining on me."

"Is there any other abilities you haven't said anything about?" asked M'gann

"Umm I have dark vision too," Agni said quietly "And infravision, like all elves."

"What's that?" asked Conner

Agni closed his eyes tightly and when he reopened them they were a shade of purple.

"It means he can see any heat signatures and pretty much see in total darkness." Zatanna said

"So that's how you see me every time." M'gann exclaimed

"Only when you're in the room." Agni said.

"Then how do you see me when I'm not?"

"I think I know how." Zatanna said. "He can detect people's natural auras."

Agni's eyes opened wide in astonishment "Wow, you're good..." he said grudgingly "I know people who have been trying to find that out for years,"

Conner glanced up at the clock. "We got to get to school, M'gann"

A few minutes after they left Agni started packing up the leftover food. "Uh Zatanna I uh wanted to tell you something."

"Yes?"

"I uh wanted to say… er… that I was a… sorry for… kissing you." He stammered

"Why do you need to apologize?"

"Because it was a little sudden and unexpected and I just wanted to say sorry." Agni said looking at her "It was not my place to be so-"

"Why do you think I had a problem with it?" Zatanna interrupted

Agni stared at her in surprise. She took a few steps closer to him but he stopped her "Batman is around the corner." He whispered

Batman walked in and beckoned them to follow him.

"We found out that two of your friends were taken by Cadmus, Agni." He said grimly

"I know, I was able to contact Richie today while I was meditating. He said he was somewhere underground, by a big statue holding a torch, M'gann said it may be the Statue of Liberty whatever that may be." Agni replied

"They do have a base somewhere in New York..." said Batman. "I'll send you out when the Team comes back."

"As you command, Batman."

"Now I'm sure you and Zatanna have things to do. I will be back later." Batman said as he walked out

Agni turned to look at Zatanna. "Now what did you say a minute ago?"

Review please.

More up tomorrow hopefully.
