Hey all thanks for all the lovely comments and love. I hope your enjoying the updates. I will never be happy until I finish this XD.

So as they say on with the story!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Safe house? More like luxury apartment with a nice view of the city. Slade had taste, he'd give him that. The two had eaten take out from a rugged worn down looking Donair joint. It looked more like a hole in the wall but from his own experience those were the best places to grab some grub. The two had talked for awhile once they arrived at the apartment. But soon enough Slade retired letting Richard know he should probably do the same. "Long day tomorrow" and such as he headed towards his room. But Robin was always more a night owl.

The request to change his name had haunted his mind the entire evening. That and seeing Lex Luther in person tomorrow... well it was a bit to take in. But he would face whatever challenges came his way regardless of his feelings towards the situation. He wasn't a Titan anymore, he was apprentice to Deathstroke.

The former hero breathed in deep and let out a sign. His fingers began fidgeting with the flash drive he carried with him. The Legacy. He mildly wondered if Aurora would randomly show up and ask him to simply hand it over. Or was she already waiting for them with Luther. He wouldn't be to surprised. With her heavy grasp over the hero's of the world why wouldn't she ever have power over the villains? Why was that? Why didn't she? Or maybe she did... maybe the ben Elohim had more of a influence then he could ever imagine.

What Aurora wanted he could only guess. She apparently already had a lot of say in the world. It seemed like she had it all. So he could also see her taking her time in gaining back what was once lost. She didn't seem to sad when she left it behind. She didn't care about the deaths of his friends, rather just disheartened that they didn't give her enough of a good show. He remember how he got dragged into all of this. How Sariel got kidnapped. How she freed herself and met up with him as they both went toe to toe with Geist's fiendish abilities. It always seemed she had been combating the ben Elohim for so long. Going up against a global superpower is not easy, especially one that technically doesn't exist.

He had to ask himself though, what was Sariel's end game in all this? She wanted intel that much as obvious. But to go up against a centuries old, well hidden, secret society full of bizarre meta humans... It was a bit of a stretch. What was in it for her? Who did she exactly work for? Was she on her own? Robin stared out the window onto the city. He came to realize that while he called her a friend, he never got to truly know her. Or more about her. He knew what had happened to her in her youth. The experiments, the forced military training, being told that you must survive in a warzone filed with adults twice your size and being told to kill... he could only image what kind of trauma she carefully hid from the world. He knew she loved the desert but it must of held nightmares for her as well. He wondered what kind of world she lived in and why such a drive to go after something so beyond her.

He pocketed the Legacy. He had to try and get more information. He wanted to see if someone else to dive into the flash drive he had and see if they could find anything else beyond what Gus originally had, even more then what Slades intel team could find, which was basically the same intel Gus dug up. Nothing much more then a few dates, a few names. There just has to be more information on them somewhere.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The morning after was made with promises of coffee, bacon and eggs. Promises that were indeed delivered. When he thought of it he never really seen Slade cook anything before and to be honest, he never imagined it either. There was always someone else around on their little journey that whipped up the meals for the day. So seeing the mercenary in the kitchen this morning was a bit of a surprise he would admit.

Soon however, Robin found himself in the passenger seat of the same car that Slade drove them here with. And soon after that the two found themselves in a elevator on their way up to see Lex himself. It was one of the so called "back door" elevators that didn't connect with the lobby. Obviously having villains in full uniform from head to toe in one of his buildings would be harmful for his so called good reputation.

"See Lex often? "Robin inquired.

"He is one of the more upstanding members of our secret society so perhaps more then I'd like."

"So he's really that annoying huh?"

"Lets just say one has to keep on their toes around Luther." Robin frowned at Slades answer. "While Luther is a reputable colleague, it does not necessarily mean that you should lower your guard. The man is indeed dangerous, keep that in mind. But he has his uses from time to time. Luther has a reach that measures far into the world. He makes himself quite the monetary ally."

"I see... sooo... "Robin crossed his arms. "What is the deal with this Secret Society of yours anyways. Can't be as secret as the Ben Elohim."

Slade looked to his young apprentice. "Perhaps not as secret, but a necessity. Simply, its a group a few people formed quite a few years back. Before my time even. It was created to watch over and to "keep in line" various aspects of the world, such as wars, private militaries, political endeavors, and the so called super villains of the world. Most of the founding members were actually political figures, a few millionaires and some other people that had a certain grasp on society at that time."

"Older then you huh, like how far back?"

"I believe it was founded after World War II, generally in a response to keep Germany at bay."

"After World War II?" Robin thought back to the legacy for a moment before the elevator dinged. "We're here." was all Slade has said before stepping out on to the pristine marble floor.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lex Luther sat at his desk on the phone talking up a business deal or two. He really hadn't changed that much since the last time he tagged along with Bruce in one of Clarks requests for back up. His suites were still pristine and he was still bald so two for two. Still... it was odd being on this side of the fence. It felt more real now, his betrayal, much more real that he thought it would be. There was no fight to get ready for as he looked on at the man. For the first time ever in the company of a so called Super villain, other then Slade of course, he didn't feel that there was a epic showdown that was about to erupt. Instead, being here opened up a new world of possibilities.

"Ahh sorry about that." Luther had ended the call and came to greet his guests. "When some of them get going they never shut up. I'm sure you know that all to well."

"A little to well." Slade commented, his singular eye staring deep into Luther's own as if he was already bored with this conversation. And if this at all phased Luther he never showed it as he moved to stand over Robin and began to chuckle, his gaze went from the boy to the mercenary. "You really did it." he shook his head as his eyes looked back towards the former hero. "Well I'll be damned."

Robin made a face and crossed his arms. "Do I got something on my face? Or you envious of all the hair on my head blady?"

With that Luther laughed. "Still a cocky one isn't he?"

"There is a lot we need to go over Luther."

"Agreed. To much I would say. If it's not the Justice League then it's something else. The others?"

Slade shook his head. "After we go over everything." Luther only shrugged "Alright. I've read the reports, this is quite surprising to say the least. But there isn't much on them is there. We're kind of drawing blanks at this point aren't we?"

Robin grasped at the Legacy in his pockets. "I have something that can perhaps change that, that is if you can dive beyond the depths of what is actually on here?" Robin held the flash drive in his hands. "Everything is in code. I believe a friend of mine actually found something of value on here but never got to share it before she was killed."

The former hero handed the Legacy to Luther in hopes that his people could find something more than what he already knew. "The files were already downloaded to one of Slade's own systems and we already have a small team working on deciphering it. But the more the merrier."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Alfred was becoming more and more concerned. Not only with the striking news that Master Bruce had returned with, but also due to the fact that Bruce himself was just... well he was becoming a pain in his butt. He wouldn't sleep, he barely touched his food and he had to nag at him to rest. The elderly man could hardly get any of the other work he had to do around the mansion due the master of the house being so... obstinate. It took him days but when he finally won out, the great Batman listened to his butler to get some sleep and before he knew it Master Bruce was down for the count for a solid two and a half days.

In that time he did something he knew Master Bruce would probably get a tad bit anger with him for, but Master Richards young friends deserved to know. He was surprised however that they already knew a bit more information then he thought they would. But he would suppose that would make sense with Hot Spot being a Honorary Titan. They had more of a direct link then even the Justice League, they probably knew about it before they did. The team seemed a little saddened, he couldn't blame them. It wasn't necessarily the best news. When Master Bruce got wind of that little run in he nearly went into a frenzy, it was the last night Alfred let him be alone, from then on he insisted he rest.

He was a little proud of them, it seemed that Richard had taught them well. The team was looking for their friend and following any clues they could find. Alfred had high hopes they would find him first since Master Bruce wasn't fit for... well anything at the moment. And if something had indeed changed, as in truly changed with Master Dick then perhaps his friends would be the best option to bring him home. It seemed the team knew the risks for not only disobey a member of the Justice league, but for going against the worlds best Mercenary... well he couldn't stop them now could he? As much as he had wanted to, they were already far deeper in this then any of them were really. He read the reports the Titans had given Master Bruce on Slade Wilson. Their little run ins with the villain was no coincidence

The little chat was awkward at first, the group wasn't expecting a call from Batman's butler after all. But Alfred explained everything he could regarding his own status with the Bat family.

"I am terribly sorry but there isn't much else I know." Alfred looked at the small team through the screen. Their disappointment was evident.

"Nahh it's alright, we really should thank you for checking in on us. Sorry we also kind of disobeyed the Bat..." Cyborg felt kind of bad but this Alfred character seemed pretty nice. Robin never told him he had a butler.

"It's quite alright, I'm sure he would understand that you are all concerned as well." Beast Boy side eyed at the comment and mouthed a sarcastic "suuure." If the Bat was anything, it clearly wasn't understanding.

"Where exactly are you at this moment?" Alfred was curious. How far had they dug into this?

Cyborg shrugged "Europe." Raven who stood beside him just sighed before taking control of the conversation. "We are currently leaving Germany. The last bits of the trail had ended here. We knew that he had moved locations but not as to where exactly until now."

"I see, will you be heading home now?"

Raven nodded. "With Robin last spotted on a Caribbean island, Slade is most likely moving himself and Robin into plain sight."

Alfred smiled "Home."

Raven nodded. "Yes." Robin was either on his way or already in America.
