Chapter 60: Fighting Redemption

A/N: I'm sorry I left you with that last chapter, I hope this makes up for it and explains why I let Batgirl lose to Deathstroke in the last chapter.

Emily's Pov-

I sat curled up on the floor of Deathstroke's tank. He had kidnapped me and managed to defeat Paige with ease. My emotions got the better of me, I was worried, I was sad, I was choked and worse of all I was scared.

I looked over at Batgirl who was unconscious on the ground, she was breathing slowly but I didn't expect her to wake up before Deathstroke had reached his destination.

Out of desperation I crawled over to Batgirl and started to shake her. "Wake up. Please wake up. Please Pai… please I need you now." I said almost revealing Paige's identity, I hope Deathstroke couldn't hear me.

I needed Paige to wake up now, this is what I've worried about ever since I found out Paige was Batgirl and now it had happened, she had lost. I dropped my head like an ashamed dog and I felt like I was going to cry but I couldn't.

After a few minutes I felt the tank stop and Deathstroke opened the tank's door.

"There has been a small change of plans." Deathstroke said as he looked at Batgirl.

"You, get in there." Deathstroke said and pointed to a church.

"Why did you take us here?" I asked as I walked out of the tank and Deathstroke dragged out Batgirl and threw her on his shoulder.

"Here is where I lost to her, now I'm going to correct that mistake, and you're going with us so you won't escape. A is paying me too much to let you out of my sight." Deathstroke said as he gestured me towards the entrance.

Once I was inside the church I saw that there was a lot of cameras in the church, like he was going to broadcast something.

I looked at Deathstroke who threw Batgirl to the ground. "Wake up, it's time for everyone to know just who you are." Deathstroke said as he kicked Batgirl.

Batgirl let out a weak groan and Deathstroke pulled her up and put her on a chair. "But before I start the cameras I'm getting a sneak peek." He said and grabbed Batgirl's mask and ripped it off.

Deathstroke suddenly jumped back and let out a gasp. "No, it's impossible, I couldn't have lost to you, you're… you're just a girl." Deathstroke said and as he moved I looked and to my surprise I saw that it wasn't Paige sitting on the chair, it was Spencer.

"This can't be true. I couldn't have lost to a kid." Deathstroke said in chock and pulled out his gun and started to shoot all of his cameras. "No one can know this." He said sounding embarrassed.

I walked up to Spencer and she looked at me.

"Why?" I whispered.

"Sorry Em, I thought I could scare him off, I knew she couldn't get here in time…" Spencer said as she started to fade.

"I couldn't have lost to her!" Deathstroke said as he pointed his gun at me. "No one can know." He said.

Then something hit his hand and his gun fell to the floor.

"What about losing to me?" I heard a familiar voice say and I saw Batgirl standing behind me, this time I knew it really was Paige.

Deathstroke calmed down and cracked his fists. "Yes, I knew I couldn't have lost to her." Deathstroke said. "Now you'll lose!" He shouted as he charged Paige.

Paige's Pov-

I found out that Deathstroke had kidnapped Emily and Spencer when Hanna had called me. I quickly returned to the bat cave and I used the computer to track down the suite that Spencer had borrowed. I had plant tracking chips on all my suites since I had told everyone my secret in case some of the guys would borrow one of my suites for a Halloween party.

It didn't take long to find Deathstroke after that.

I knew that Deathstroke was willing to do anything to win this fight so I had to be very careful so he wouldn't hurt me… or worse hurt Emily.

Deathstroke charged me but I was ready for him, I aimed a kick for his head and he caught my ankle before my kick hit him. Deathstroke threw a punch at me, before his fist hit me I used my forearm to block his punch and then I felt that he was losing his grip on my ankle and I used tat to push him back so I was free from his grip.

"Good, I might have to give it my all tonight." Deathstroke said and laughed.

Then he threw a smoke bomb on the ground and disappeared as the smoke faded away.

I knew this trick; I had used it several times on enemy henchmen before. I used this to scare them, like a predator lurking on its pray.

I went to the most open area of the church; I knew that he couldn't sneak up on me if he had nothing to hide behind.

"Be careful." I heard Emily say as she was tending to Spencer.

I closed my eyes and waited for Deathstroke, I wasn't going to let him scare me. I waited as I heard whisperings and footsteps echoing in the distant. I waited and waited until I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer until I could hear Deathstroke's breaths, then I quickly threw a punch and hit Deathstroke right in his helmet so he lost his balance and fell to the floor.

"Aaaah, good move." He said as he got up.

"I invented that technique." I said.

"Too bad you won.t win." Deathstroke said as he walked around me in circles and I stood there and waited for him to attack.

"I can't let you win." He said and threw a punch at me that I dodged and when he tried to throw another punch I hit him in his gut, he had hard armor that protected him but my punch still managed to take a step back.

I threw another punch making him step back further and then I kicked him in his gut as hard as I could so he almost fell but he regained his balance and then he drew his katana and ran toward me to stab me. I knew I couldn't block his sharp weapon I dodged backwards making sure that I'd be just out of his swords reach as Deathstroke kept swinging his katana at me. He was moving faster than I thought and as I dodged I could feel that it was just barely missed me. I kept dodging backwards waiting for an opening for me to fight back which was harder than I thought since he was moving too fast for me to keep up and then I felt the sharp edge of his katana cut my cheek, it was just a shallow cut but it did sting.

Then Deathstroke stopped in his attack and looked at his katana, he inspected the small amount of my blood on its edge and said "That's the first cut of many." Then he swung the katana at me again but this time I grabbed a wooden chair and used it to stop his attack. His katana got stuck in the chair and I charged Deathstroke before he had any time to pull the sword out. I tackled him to the ground and I hit him over and over again not giving him any time to recover but he grabbed my fist and threw me on the floor.

I got up as fast as I could to see that Deathstroke smashed the chair to release his katana, now he was wielding it at me again and I felt the sharp sting from its edge as I failed at dodging it and it cut my left arm. The pain made me drop to my knees and held my arm, the cut wasn't too deep but it was bleeding.

Deathstroke walked up behind me and held his katana high.

"Do yourself a favor and stay down, you'll save yourself from a world of pain." He said as he grabbed his katana with both his hands.

I looked up and saw Emily looking at me, she looked like her worse nightmare was happening right in front of her, I couldn't leave her.

I quickly rolled away from Deathstroke's katana and I quickly jumped up and kicked the blade so hard it broke into pieces.

"You just don't know when to quit do you?" Deathstroke said and I activated my shock gloves and threw a hard punch to Deathstroke, the power from my shock gloves was turned up so high every punch almost had the same power as a deliberator so Deathstroke's armor wasn't going to help him this time.

I hit him again, punching him so hard that the visor of his helmet broke. I threw more hits at Deathstroke putting more and more force in my punches to knock him out. Once my gloves where out of power Deathstroke was having trouble standing up. I threw the final punch at him and he fell to the ground.

He coughed and sat up, now he was too week to stand up on his own.

"How could you win?" He asked.

"Because I have a reason to never give up." I answered.

"You can't have beaten me twice… I'm unbeatable." He said.

"Nothing is unbeatable." I said and walked away from him.

"Don't you dare turn your back at me Batgirl!" He shouted at me but I knew he wasn't a threat anymore.

"Are you guys ok?" I asked as I walked up to Emily and Spencer.

"You were incredible." Emily said looking at me.

"You sound surprised." I said.

"I knew you could win, but seeing you fight like that was impossible to describe." Emily said.

"How is Spencer?" I asked.

"She is really banged up but I think she'll be ok in a few days." Emily said.

"YOU WILL DIE!" Deathstroke shouted as he had forced himself up and now he was holding what was left of his katana as he ran at me and Emily like a charging bull.

"Watch out!" I screamed as I grabbed Emily and threw myself and her out of harm's way, then I quickly made sure Emily was ok before I turned my attention to Deathstroke, he noticed than I was coming for him and he threw some throwing stars at me but I threw some batrangs that crashed into them so they broke.

Deathstroke swung his katana at me but he was moving too slowly so I could easily grab his wrists and block his desperate attack.

I looked him into his eyes and saw how he went from being angry and desperate to being terrified at me.

"What are you!" He screamed as I pushed him back.

"I am vengeance…" I said as I went towards a terrified Deathstroke.

"I am the night…" I continued as Deathstroke fell down as he tried to back away from me but now he was just crawling.

I pulled him up and made him look at me. "I am Batgirl." I said then I punched him as hard as I could in his face knocking him unconscious, now the fight was completely over.

I once again walked back to Emily.

"Next time, warn me before you do that." Emily said.

"Sorry, I didn't think that through." I said and walked closer to Emily and kissed her softly.

When our lips had parted Emily smiled at me. "Thank you for saving me." She said.

"For you I'd do anything, because I love you too much." I said.

"Don't mind me, I've just been beaten up by Deathstroke." Spencer said.

"Sorry, I'll get you an ambulance" Emily said and went outside as I helped Spencer walk out of the church.

I put Spencer on the church stairs as Emily when to a nearby phone booth and called 911.

"Hey, Paige." Spencer said and waved her fingers at me to make me get closer to her.

"Emily misses hanging out with you." Spencer said. "Make time for her." She continued.

"Yes I will." I said.

"Good, if you don't I'll beat you up worse than Deathstroke did to me when I'm out of the hospital." Spencer joked.

Emily walked up to me and said. "I've called the ambulance and they should be here in five minutes."

"Then I should get out of here before they see me and starts asking questions." I said.

"Oh, ok I'll see you back at the mansion then." Emily said disappointed.

"No, you're coming with me." I said and hugged her with my one arm and used my other arm to fried my grappling gun to a roof. "We're going to take a short flight." I said.
