Hey all back with another chapter, I hope you enjoy!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"We need to split up."

"I agree. Divide and Conquer as they say." Ra's looked to Luthor and simply nodded. "I've already notified some of my men nearby." The Chief Demon was never one to be unprepared, if he was in town so were various members of the League of Shadows. And Slade had already notified his nearby base to send out a unit. "In the meantime, we need to make our way out of this building. It would be in all of our best interests to not be involved when the authorities arrive or perhaps even Superman himself. That is if there is anything left when they arrive, or if they can even access the building itself. However, that may be somewhat out of our control." The mercenary really didn't want to battle it out with the man of steel on top of the soldiers that had already breached the building.

"Are you saying they are just going to destroy my building and kill everyone in it? And we're just going to run away?" Luther was not to pleased of the apparent outcome of this invasion of his property. Mercy stood at his side with a frown etched onto her face. It wasn't like they hadn't faced this type of situation before. But Luther always did find a way to sulk about the damage that occurred.

"I'm not suggesting we simply flee. But I doubt they intend to leave anyone alive. So I believe we should remove as many as we can before our eventual departing. I have a bit of a feeling this is not going to be as simple as we would all like it to be. We need to plan our exit carefully. These soldiers are trained as any other, and like in any other military there is some that are more skilled them others. Most of these soldiers may be taken out easily enough, but the others won't be as transparent. The real problem may be the number of units sent into the building."

The fires entered his mind and Robin shook his head. "It's never easy with them."

Luther crossed his arms. "You sure know how to make some enemies Slade." The Mercenary ignored him and instead asked him if he had any blueprints of the building tucked away somewhere. Luther could only nod to his bodyguard to collect a black plastic tube. It would seem Lex had a couple of spares for each building located in primary locations, in case of emergencies such as this.

Lex laid out the blue prints across the table. "Considering that the enemy is just about anywhere at this point, any route we take is a risk." Slade could only agree, but anything was better than staying here. Robin stood off to the side and watched as the two men went about creating some sort of master plan. "You know this, as in your presence, is quite unexpected. Are you so sure about it?" Robin looked to the man beside him as he sipped his tea. The Chief Demon was never one to prod too much into people's personal affairs, but given their past with one another as enemies, Robin couldn't help but smirk. "Yea, I am."

The man could only nod as he took another sip of his tea. "Although not to unexpected I suppose."

"Meaning?" Robin looked the villain beside him.

"Your just like your mentor. The detective is stubborn in his ways. He insists that his moral code is the only ethical one. He does so much good yet there is a darkness in him that is undeniable. You are much the same. Yet you are the only one brave enough to explore your darker half. Its been quite the journey I would presume?" Robin could only nod. "It has been."

"Good. Let the journey continue, let it shape you and your mind to better heights." Robin didn't know if that was some kind of advice or a compliment from infamous Ra's al Ghul, perhaps it was both? He was unsure so he simply gave his thanks instead. The demon did nothing but smile in response.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It was decided that Lex and Mercy would take the so called back door elevators out, Ra's al ghul would make his way to the roof where he would have a helicopter meet him and since Slade and his apprentice were apparently the ones they wanted the two decided to make it downstairs and head into to the lobby. Front door exits were always the most dramatic after all.

The members of the society exited the the board room and wished one another luck. But Robin knew that while everyone here would face their own challenges in departure, he and Slade would be taking the most difficult route. He knew they were here for him, for the Legacy. The former hero grasped the USB drive in his pocket and told himself that they would not be getting what they wanted, not today.

As the duo moved down the hall Slade stopped them from moving further and then pointed to a door. Quietly Robin hugged the wall and opened it. Master and apprentice both darted into the small closet and quickly and as quietly as they could, closed the door as a small group of soldiers appeared from around the corner and began to walk towards the direction of their current location. The two remained silent as they heard the men walk past.

With the soldiers voices and footsteps growing more faint Slade took a chance and took a peek out the door and found the coast to be clear. "Let's move."

The two would move in silence and directed one another when they heard voices or any type of movement. Stealth was key in this type of situation, Neither of them wanted to give the enemy an advantage on their whereabouts within the building. But Robin broke the silence when he moved ahead and turned a corner to find a massacre.

"Oh god..." Robin looked away. These people were not the ones that deserved to be shot in the head multiple times, many of them were guests. But there was some security guards mixed in with them. Slade rounded the corner to find what his apprentice had found and as he expected, considering Robins reaction, it was not kind. "It would seem mercy is on the floor."

Suddenly there was a loud screech, as if metal was being torn asunder and the building itself shuddered.

"What the fuck?" was Robins only response as his vision began to looked beyond the bodies and down the dark hall. It looked like a lot of the lights were shot out. Some of the lighting fixtures dangled from the ceiling adding to the eerie effect.

The mastermind however walked over the bodies to find the remains of a couple of security guards. He turned one to their side and collected any items on its person that would come in handy. A gun and ammo was a good start. He checked the second and found generally the same items. He passed one of the weapons to his apprentice who then set the safety to off. "I don't think we should hang out here. Whatever that screech was, I bet it's not friendly." The boy narrowed his eyes at whatever threat there was down the passageway.

"I agree." Slade turned to head down towards another hallway when it erupted and caught fire. The two stood for a moment and within a blink of an eye there was a small girl that stood in front of the blaze. "Its her, that's the girl." Slade frowned. It seemed the members of the ben Elohim became increasingly more peculiar.

"You cannot go this way." The small girl seemed abnormal amongst the flames, time seemed to slow itself down and the three were somehow locked in a moment.

The two pointed their weapons at the girl. Normally not even Slade would harm a small child, but this one seemed quite different.

"I am sorry. But your weapons will not have any effect on me."

Robin took in deep breaths. His anger evident. "We can test that theory."

"You may, but it will result in you wasting ammunition, which you will need if you want to escape. I am sorry... But you cannot got this way."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Clark Kent hovered over the tower. Superman may dislike his old friend but not even he could leave Lex Luthor in a building raided by an unknown source. This all seemed very unlike him, normally he didn't have his property raided by a military force. More likely he's known to build one. He watched from above as the police arrived on the scene and prepared to raid the building themselves.

He scanned the building himself and found numerous heat signatures within, there was a lot of people in there. And sadly there was a lot of them dead as well. This grim reality made him wanting to take a bit more action, that was until a squad team of the police force were about to raid the building, they were in proper formation when a shoot out soon developed as they were met with a larger force as soon as they entered the building.

Clarks eyes widened at the brute force of those that fought against the police. The Metropolis department was trained, but no one would withstand that much gun power. Quickly he joined the fray to aid the officers.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Another pounding sound, as if someone or something was ripping its way through walls. Robin looked down the hall and then back at the girl before him. She smiled and then she was gone. Robin frowned and looked to his master. "This is getting old."

"They wish to remain ever the mystery."

"Where do we go?"

Slade shook his head. "We can't go back the way we came, we won't get any further."

"Sooo... dark spooky bloody hallway it is then?"

"It would seem that way."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
