NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Another loud bang. Robin kept his weapon at the ready and kept his eyes trained on dark hallway as the two made their way forward over the bodies and the pools of blood. He noticed at one point that the deceased were all in a group, meaning some people tried to make an escape and didn't make it to far. Which also meant that the ben Elohim planned to take out everyone. If they had soldiers up here just waiting for escapees then the plan was to never leave anyone alive, which also meant there was probably a lot more soldiers then they knew of.

The duo came across another fork in the road and Slade had mentioned that they should take the right corridor. However, the risk was that the path forward was along a hallway that was full of windows. But considering Luthor's building was a bit of a older one with many modern renovations, the windows didn't span from floor to ceiling on the regular, not so elaborate, floors such as Luthor's own office. Robin agreed. Technically they were without their gear, all they had on them was a couple of handguns and not nearly enough ammo. The faster they got out of here the better.

As they made their way further along it remained as silent as ever, which never bode well. "I don't like this, it's to quiet."

And it was as if on queue that a helicopter flew by the building. Robin grunted, he couldn't tell who the vehicle belonged to nor did he care. For all he knew it could of belonged to the ben Elohim or to the Metropolis police force. And honestly at this point he didn't want attention from either of them. It didn't matter one way or another, they didn't want to be sighted and so the two ducked and now sat with their backs to the wall. The windows above them light up as the helicopter flew past. Robin took a deep breath, if there was one there would be more.

The lights were soon gone and Slade insisted they move.

They had made it to the other end when another helicopter began to shine their spotlight in the windows. The two ducked once more and kept silent as the helicopter left. But as the light faded in the pitch black of the hallway, a figure soon began to take form. The child made a reappearance. She raised her hand to the the chopper and grasped the air and as she did so the helicopter itself hovered in the sky as if it was being held against its will. The Girls fingers aggressively wrapped around nothing and he watched her in awe as the helicopter outside slowly began to implode. Indents that would be from the girls fingers shattered the vehicle. The child playing with it as if it was a mere toy. Her arm suddenly swung violently as she had thrown something aside and quickly Robin realized that the helicopter was about to crash into the building.

"SHIT!" Slade swore as the two darted down the hall fully knowing they may not make it in time. The explosion behind them send the two into the wall at the end of the hallway. Both hit the surface with a large and painful thud and then sunk to the floor. The scene before them raged with fire as the smoke from the fires was now makings it way into their lungs.

"Robin." The boy in question shook his head and began to cough. "I'm... ok" was his only response. A hand was given to him and the boy took it. "This is... getting crazier and... crazier." Slade agreed. Robin could only grit his teeth as he glared at the hallway. But something suddenly caught him off guard. He noticed that the child was joined by a man that stood behind her. "No way." he muttered. All his time with Raven alongside the whole experience of defeating Trigon could tell him that he was not human. And he thought for sure Slade could sense it as well.

"I'm not the only one that can see it right?"

Slade never broke his gaze with the man. "The demon?"

Robin could only nod, he was a bit relieved he wasn't going completely mad. "Of course they would have a demon on staff."

"No point in staying here, we need to move." Robin agreed, but he could only glare at the man behind the now massive gap in the building, the entire hallway was now no longer accessible. It was almost felt as if he blinked the man would be in front of him or behind him. His mind reeled, how the hell did the ben Elohim conjure up a demon in the flesh and blood? How was that even possible?

Regardless Robin broke eye contact and moved forward.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After a few twists and turns the the two found themselves moving quickly down a hall when Slade felt his cell phone buzz. He answered the call and the first thing from Luthor was, "We got a problem."

Slade backed himself up against a wall and had Robin do the same. "What kind of problem?"

"The super hero kind. Superman is here."

Slade took a chance as he walked over and looked out a window looking for the familiar red cape. "Where?"

"He's helping the police downstairs, but I suspect he's going to be busting in soon enough."

"This could be a problem."

"Yes I know. As if we don't already have enough problems."

"Ra's?"

"He's already out." The mercenary nodded as his singular eye searched for the man of steel. "We're still moving to the lobby but have had a few run ins. Any strange occurrences on your end?"

"Taken out a few troops here and there, nothing to strange yet. I had a few ask about your Legacy. You still have that flash drive right?"

Slade Eyed Robin for a moment. "We still have it."

"Good, I put the copy on a personal Cloud drive. They're not finding anything here but if the kid still has it on him... well you get what I mean."

Slade understood what Luthor was trying to tell him. As long as Robin carried a portion of the Legacy with him they would always be in danger. But if anyone truly knew the man, then they would also know that he was the same man that told the world to "bring it on" as it were. "I understand."

"I know you do but you never follow the rules anyways. Look once I'm out of this mess, I'm going to get them to work some extra long nights to get more info from that Legacy of yours, if it really does have anything valuable on it, especially against the Justice League, I think it may be a perfect bomb to drop. If the League has been secretly working with a society that has funded every major war up until all the way back to what, the cold war? World War II?... its not going to look pretty."

"Not at all. We'll need to talk once we're out of this mess. If the ben Elohim are as good as they say they are, then there isn't going to be a straight connection to the Justice League."

"Nothing we can't do to fix that." Leave it to Luthor to tell a white lie that would get the whole world invested.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Metropolis Police force wasn't having the best of days. That was until Superman joined them. It would seem that the superhero's presence changed their luck for the better. For now that is, they still were not able to get inside the building without loosing an officer.

"Any hostages?"

"We assume so Superman, but there hasn't been any kind of declarations or ransom demands. They just started to tear all this shit up. Whoever it is, they took over the whole building within moments. We had some helicopters patrolling" The officer shook his head. "We lost one, like they lost control and just crashed into the building. I knew these boys Superman, they wouldn't of lost control."

"Maybe I should go take a look."

"If you find anything, let us know please. I don't want any more people hurt."

Superman nodded before be flew upwards, if he couldn't get in through the front door without getting anyone hurt then he'd make his usual entrance if needed. For right now he was going to check out the building from the back.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The further they traversed into this building the more they felt like they were being followed. Every now and then there was loud bangs and Robin thought of the Demon with the little girl. Was it him that was possibly stalking them, watching their every move?

Lights flickered in every hallway. Main power was not available so instead the building began running on the emergency backup generator. And while it was possible to use a elevator the two agreed it probably wouldn't be best idea. So the stairwell was the best option at the time.

"Great."

"This will only get us down about ten floors."

"Fabulous." Robin was obviously agitated and Slade stopped the boy in his tracks. "We do not need you losing your abilities to anger."

Robin was a bit taken aback. "What?"

"Your getting agitated."

"I am not."

"You are." Slade took a step forward and Robin instincts kicked in and he flinched. "Your on edge and you've gotten yourself worked up."

"I'm fine."

Slade took another step. "I need you to be in peak performance tonight, do not let your emotions get the better of you. Understood?"

Robin frowned knowing there was no use in arguing. "Understood."

"Good. Lets go, we'll only need to go down a couple floors."

"Why not go all the way down?"

"Too easy to find us then." Robin nodded and followed the mastermind down the stairwell.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Superman hovered at the back of the building as he began to scan the structure for life signs but a frown soon etched its way onto his face. He noticed a lot of bodies throughout the entire structure. Normally Luthor wouldn't obliterate his entire guest list, he normally always used these parties to show off as it were. But to kill all of his guests? Not to mention that he couldn't find the man himself anywhere in the building. It was as if Luthor was attacked.

It would seem there wasn't nearly anyone left alive in the high rise except for a mere few people in a ballroom, the soldiers and few stragglers hiding out in random spots throughout the building. He knew he would have to get to all of the remaining survivors and he didn't have much time.

He was going to survey some more in another area when two people suddenly popped up in his vision. Two guests it would seem had come out of a door and began to cautiously make their way down the hall. They were dressed in tuxedos but at this point they were both a little worse for wear.

The two didn't notice him at first. However it was only a few moments before the older man did and grabbed the teenager and pushed him into a room all while the one eyed man glared at the superhero.

He couldn't believe it at first, the boy was curious why the man was grabbing him, it looked as if he was going to say something before he got pushed into the room, obviously trying to keep the boy out of sight. It was only for a second. But he knew that face.

"Richard."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Asif had taken the last couple of days to get to know the people around the base. He felt pretty good networking again he had to admit. He was finding people he and Robin could use in their little crusade against Aurora. Little by little he was making a mental list of those he found acceptable and those that were innately skilled. Normally the base was actually pretty quiet other then the idle chatter. But tonight they got a call for backup. Asif knew that if Slade was asking for reinforcements then it could be a possibility that both Master and Apprentice were in some type of danger.

And Asif's mind went directly to the ben Elohim.

"Are you coming?"

A blonde Russian woman approached him, her accent was heavy yet beautiful. The day he met her he wondered what it was that she brought to the table. She seemed to keep to herself mostly but then he saw it, the reason why she was probably here in the first place. She was a good soldier, her combat skills were a little above average and a lot of the men here respected her while she didn't have any sort of title. Evert soldier on this base knew who she was. "Or are you going to stay around here all day? Do your little intel around the base?"

"Really? Your going to make fun of me when you have to get ready yourself Ksenia?" she looked at him, her face showing no expression. But he could almost see a glint of a amusement in her eyes. "Of course." She then threw a jacket at him. "Gear is in the armory, get ready. I'm sure your friend the apprentice would like to see you."

Asif caught the jacket. "His name is Robin."

"Ahhh is he still going by that? He should change it." Asif could only agree, but he supposed those things took time. "Give me five minutes."

"Two and a half. Either your here or you're not and we are leaving."

Asif gave her a nod before he ran off to gather up what he needed.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"What the?" Robin wanted to complain but Slade had shushed the boy. "He's here."

"The demon?"

"No, Superman."

"The man of steel is outside? If you go out he will surely find you. Or you can stay with me?"

The two turned to find themselves confronted by the child and yet again it seems as if the two where stuck in a moment, time slowed, the world around them became a blur. The child herself seemed surreal. But there was something that stuck out to the boy the more he looked at her. She seemed sad. Sorrow seemed like a never ending cycle for the girl. His heart pounded in his chest as he took a step forward. At first no words were spoken as Robin looked at her, their eyes met and he could almost feel her.

"Why are you so sad?"

"You'd be sad to if you didn't exist."

"What do you mean?"

The girl smiled, "Energy, the paranormal, myths and legends. Sometimes something is created with mere words."

"I don't understand."

"I don't exist as you do. I was conjured on a battlefield. I carry the sorrow of those that died there with me." The girl smiled at him, the world around him erupted and the room caught aflame. The world seemed to twist and turn around him. "Their sorrow is now mine." Robin's eyes darted to every corner of the room only to find himself alone with the girl. "Where's Slade?"

"I thought you hated him? Wasn't he the one that forced you to fight your friends, that took you out to the desert?"

"You didn't answer my question."

"He's somewhere else." The girl smiled again and then faded, the room itself returning to how it once was. Robin look around the room and while she was physically gone he could hear her speak one last thing. "The stage is set, she would like to see you again."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
