Hey all thanks for everything. I hope your enjoying the story

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Automatically he was calling Slade via the communicator earbuds the instant that the child vanished. He didn't care if he would be interrupting an important meeting, Robin had to report the incident. And when Slade was taking to long to pick up the call, the former hero started making his way down the hall towards the office that held the most important members of this entire little get together. He stopped however when the mastermind finally answered. Slade did not expect what came from his young apprentice however.

"They were here."

"What do you mean?"

"A kid, a little girl, maybe around 10. No one saw her, she just walked up to me. She asked me... if I was Robin. I didn't respond, but she then said she would like to speak to me. Kid disappeared afterwards. It was like no one even knew she was there. As if only I could see her." Robin wasn't necessarily panicking, but he felt he needed to get every last bit of info out before he forgot any minor details.

"Make your way to the-"

Gunfire. Bullets tore through the ballroom leaving behind shattering remains of the bustling room that was just mere moments ago filled with dance and laughter. Robin threw himself to the floor. He had only turned the corner and exited the ballroom when had made contact with Slade.

"Gunfire?"

"Yea..."

"I'm on my way." Slade cut the line then. Robin knew he'd be seeing him momentarily since the office wasn't to far down the hall. In the meantime however Robin inched himself towards the entryway. He kept his back to the wall and slowly moved along the surface until he could see the damage that had been done. "Holy shit." he muttered to himself as he looked on at the bodies strewn across the floor. He noticed there was survivors but he didn't know for how long. One woman screamed at the soldier and he simply shot her in the head, her limp body falling to the ground. The action caused others to cry out in fear. They however only seemed to gain threats from the soldiers to simply behave or they to will get the same treatment. He could hear their muffled cries as they agreed.

There was a few soldiers in the ballroom and they were scouting the area, looking over every dead body, threatening every survivor. They were looking for someone, possibly even for himself. The soldiers here were the same as the ones in the desert he noticed, but their uniforms were all black this time around. But they wore the same badges, had the same equipment and the same carelessness regarding the people around them. They didn't care for the lives of those in this building, they were given a task and they would complete it. Careless as they were with who they killed, their skills in doing so were not as reckless. All these men were fully trained in combat.

"There is more of them." Robin nodded, he knew it wouldn't take long for his master to meet up with him. "They've seemingly taken out a few of Luther's men and dismantled a lot of his own security systems, all within a short period of time. He's not to pleased obviously. Usually Luther's systems are... better."

"Or maybe Luther's systems are not as good as he says they are. Generally, he makes most of his security dedicated to combat Superman. Considering that is who visits Luther the most. It would make sense for most of his defenses to be dedicated to ward him off. The soldiers are just human, so it would make it easier for them to slip through and start a gun fight."

"It would seem that way. But even Luther has enemies that are human as you and I."

Robin looked on at the scene before him and shrugged. "Then maybe their just that good."

"Perhaps." Slade on the other hand was not to convinced.

"They're not here for no reason, their looking for someone or something." Robin jerked his head towards the soldiers. "I think I know what they want."

"And will you simply hand it over to them?"

Robin watched a soldier shot another victim in the head. It was a heavy burden he supposed, but he wouldn't simply just give up. "No."

"We need to get back to the others."

Robin could only nod. Retreat may be the best course of action for now.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The lobby of the tower was empty minus a few bodies and remnants of a once normal business day. Soon they would begin to make their way towards the upper floors, but for now they would let the soldiers do their work. Aurora had sent them to cause a disturbance, and disorder and confusion was something he was always good at creating.

"Will he come?"

"Hrmm, the boy?" The man that stood next to the child smirked as he took a puff from his cigar, blowing out smoke rings the next moment.

"Yes."

"I doubt it kid."

"Athrilius?" Her eyes found his green ones. The child never asked why his skin was red and his eyes glowed a bright green. She found this man to be her ally unlike the others that tried to harm her. Many would call him a demon, a monster. But Endora called him a friend. The man in question looked down on the child as he snubbed out the remainder of his cigar with his fingers and pocketed it. "Hrmmm?"

The girl looked unto him with dead eyes. Her hair hung over the left side of her face leaving only one pale yet striking blue eye to look up at him. "She only wanted to talk." the young girl sounded disappointed. The man crossed his arms. "She expected it." was his reply.

"He has the Legacy."

"He has a portion of it yes."

"Sariel... she... why did she leave us? She had the Legacy. Why did she give it to him?" The child had grown close to the young woman he knew. Athrilius smirked. The kid didn't know yet. The young woman's death had been hard on the child, but Geist insist she was not to be told.

"Because." It was not Athrilus that answered her. "It was all part of the plan. My betrayal, my death... all of it." Endora looked beyond the dark lobby and say a woman approach. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw who it was.

"Sariel..."

The woman smiled. "Yea."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The conference room was smaller then he thought it would be, but he supposed it did the job. Oddly enough there was only 3 members in the meeting. It seemed the other two had attended via video call. And Robin felt a little let down by that, he was quite curious who the remaining members were. Slade said that he may only know some of the lower end members but Ra's al Ghul was definitely a familiar face. However it was unimportant at the moment since the rest of the building was being raided.

The trio were discussing their next move when a women entered the room.

"Your not going to like what I have to report."

"Do I ever Mercy? But give it to us anyways."

Robin smirked. Mercy Graves, Lex Luther's own personal bodyguard. She looked like your typical chauffeur, but thinking her harmless was the first mistake you could ever make regarding this woman.

"If you insist." she nodded before giving her report. "The entire building is shut down, systems are on lock down, no one has access. Except for the enemy that is. You may of already come to this conclusion but they are looking for someone or something."

Luther could laugh. "That was obvious, we know what they came here for." The man looked at Robin. "They want the information you gave me, they want that so called Legacy of yours. It would seem that has become valuable information indeed, I'll be damned before we just hand anything over."

"How is it possible that no one knew this society even existed?" Ra's al Ghul still sat at the round wooden table. He sipped at his tea, ever the depiction of calm and collected. "It's not possible. While it is not too hard to keep hidden, developments must of taken place to put them in such control and as history has marched forward perhaps they created even more events to keep them hidden and in power. Perhaps even we all have played a part in their grand schemes without knowledge of it. We all here have had our own collisions with the Justice League. We obviously cannot give them back such knowledge they so foolishly lost. Where is this information now?"

"I transferred it, its safe. But..."

Robin held out the USB drive "I still have the original."

"I say we split up." Slade crossed his arms. "One way or another this is going to end up as a bloody mess." The mercenary knew all too well how this would end, these people would spar no one and if the remains of those in the ballroom were any indicator of what was going to happen. The he didn't want to take any chances. If they wanted a war, they would have one.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The team was home, Raven had finished her report as did the others. And now they waited for Batmans command. The team would work with the Caped Crusader and end this once and for all. But she felt uneasy about the whole ordeal. Nothing felt right, she was going to lose someone very important to her. Perhaps she already had. Raven couldn't reach out to him anymore. She was in denial because she wanted to believe he was alive, she wanted to believe he was alright... in the beginning she was afraid he was dead, but the remainder of the link told her otherwise. But when he severed it. She became afraid. He did it on his own will, or perhaps it was subconsciously. Something had happened to her friend that made him lose himself. She knew then that the Robin they were searching for was not the Robin they knew and loved.

Titan leader Robin was dead.

But she didn't want to admit to it. Raven took a deep breath. She knew these emotions had to be controlled, she knew that she had to be resilient. Or it could literally by the end of her. She knew the risks the moment she became afraid, when she felt fear and anger rise up in her. So she took up extra time for medications. Raven knew that she would do anything to keep her friends free from harm, even if it meant keeping them safe from her. This betrayal hurt, but she could not deny she needed to see it with her own eyes.

Then maybe she'd believe it.

The young woman had taken to meditating in the main living room simply because she wanted to be close to her fiends, and although her emotions tried to best her, she didn't give up without a fight. She needed to be close to them right now. It was difficult for all of them, and guilt would plague her if she didn't remain where they could easily speak with her.

She knew it was odd behavior for her. But lately she had been helping take command along with Cyborg. And someone in command needed to be there for their team.

"Hey Rae..."

She opened on eye to find Beast Boy smiling up at her before his expression changed to worry. "Oh sorry, I... I didn't know you were meditating."

Raven let out a sigh. "You...didn't know I was meditating while I was levitating off the ground with my eyes closed?" Garfield smiled sheepishly "Kinda."

She rectified her position and took a seat on the couch. "You want to talk?" Beast Boy smiled. "If.. you got time?" Raven only nodded in return. "Ok so..." Beast Boy began and then stuttered. The two sat in silence for a moment, the green boy was not even sure if he wanted to bring up the topic. But he wanted to know, he had a right to know. "What... what are we gonna do?

"About?"

"Robin? He's not coming home is he?"

Raven shook her head. "No. I... don't think so." Ever since they got the news from Panthra regarding Hot Spots run in with Robin the entire team had been a little deflated, but honestly she couldn't blame any of them. They were all in mourning, grieving the loss of their friend. It seemed that any kind of hope that Robin would return to them as a Titan died in Berlin.

"He's changed sides, betrayed us all!" She could tell Beast Boy was really upset, there was already tears in his eyes. It was possible he was hanging onto these emotions for so long and now he just needed to talk with someone. Get it off his chest so to speak. "Why do we even bother!?" There was a lot of spite in his tone, he tried to hide it but Raven could see through him. He was angry and hurt.

The goth stood up. "We need answers." Garfield looked a little defeated. "I know but... I trusted him... I-"

"We all trusted him. With everything. With our lives, our secrets..."

"What are we going to do when we find him?"

Raven looked at the young man before her. "I... I don't know."

Garfield looked down the ground. "I'm sorry Rae... I know your going through a lot."

"Don't be sorry, we all are."

"I'll uhh...I'll leave you to your meditation then."

Garfield turned to walk away, he took a few stops when Raven called out. "If you like I can teach you." Beast Boy turned around. "Teach me?" She nodded in return. "To meditate." Beast Boy smiled at her and gave her a nod before he joined her on the couch where she gave him simple step by step instructions on finding your center and finding yourself and your peace.
