Hello all thanks again for reading. We are nearly at the end, so strap yerselves in!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

He wasn't sure if he himself underestimated the demon or if the creature had underestimated him. Perhaps it was both? Either way neither of the two were giving up so easily. It even got to a point where the red skinned fiend was laughing at him. Or maybe it was at the situation? With Slade's brief experiences with Demons it was hard to tell. In truth, it was hard to pinpoint anything with his adversary. Instead, he let the man laugh and when he settled the villain readied himself for the fight to continue. But instead he received another small chuckle. "I honestly do not know where your little apprentice is."

Aware that the fight could continue at any given moment, he kept his guard up while he casually looked on at the man. With his hand clasped behind his back, his silent footsteps, and his piercing gaze the man could strike fear into almost anyone. But a demon wasn't just anyone. "I highly doubt that."

The beast of a man shrugged, "We can fight all day, regardless there would be nothing for me to tell you. Kill me, slaughter me, it doesn't matter. Even if I knew of every little thing that was going on in this building, even if I knew where the girl and your little apprentice are at this very moment I wouldn't say anything anyways. At least I know where my loyalties lie."

The mastermind scoffed. "Demons don't have any loyalties."

Another chuckle, "You spend a short period of time in hell and you think you know all about us? So cocky, I think I know why Trigon picked you."

"I don't work for Trigon."

"True, you don't. Not anymore."

"That girl of yours can warp entire atmospheres from one reality to another. Literally change entire plans of existence. She has great power over her own abilities, and yet you seem to have no power over the girl."

The demon scoffed, "She does as she pleases."

It was Slade's time to laugh. "Your an utter failure of a commander if that's what you are. Robin has a piece of the legacy and you just let others do as they will... possibly losing what you came here for?" The mastermind knew that if perhaps he mentioned their precious legacy it may give him a upper hand and while it may be giving a bit of information away, he knew they would have to have known who and what they were looking for.

The demon smiled. "Oh we know Robin has a portion of the Legacy, but that's not what we are here for, that piece can fit into the puzzle at a later date."

Slade narrowed his eye. "Explain."

"Your own little secret society of villains, trying to control the world. You have all this power and yet you try to keep the population in line. Making sure no other villains grow to powerful, but for yourselves. It doesn't surprise me the founders of your little group kept it a secret. After the war the entire world was split apart, the money from the Legacy funded many projects, your little society was one of them. But your founders turned their backs on us and took a large portion of the Legacy for themselves."

"If we had a portion of your Legacy I'm sure we would of heard of it by now."

"I doubt it, in fact I bet whatever they found in their portion of the Legacy they have kept hidden away. Although I'm sure they've used a fair sum of the wealth that was left to them."

"If it is true, what your insinuating, then why come back for it after all these years? Surely the amount of wealth that you say would of been given to the founders is hardly anything compared to what you have now? Why start all the trouble?"

"HA! Didn't Sariel teach any of you anything?"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

She's alive.

Sariel.

Alive.

But how? Robin shook his head as he looked down at the USB drive she put into his hands. What was on it? Did he even want to know? Did he even care anymore? The answer would be yes. Yes he wanted to know and yes he cared. His friend was alive, but she had also betrayed him. On the other hand she was also giving him possible information. That was the only logical outcome that he can think of that would make sense, the only thing that she could of given him was more intel. But why lure him here? Why speak with him and then give him this? She could of easily signaled them, told him where she was, that she had survived. Was she playing the ben Elohim again? He tossed that thought aside knowing full well they would not be that foolish. But what else was she hiding? He sighed. Knowing Sariel, probably everything. Sometimes he didn't know who was more mysterious, Slade or Sariel?

Robin closed his eyes and then gripped the flash drive. He would have to live another day and make his way out of here to see what Sariel had provided him with. If she had made it out of that obliterated church, then he at least owed her that much. Pocketing the red flash drive, Robin looked around the room. He noted that wherever the child had taken him to, it most certainly was not here as it were. It was almost, for that brief period of time, that he was on another plain of existence. But at this moment, it seemed like he was back in the correct dimension.

Heading out the same door in which Slade had pushed him through Robin took note of the glass strewn across the floor. He briefly wondered what had occurred until he remembered the mastermind mentioning the man of steel. The boy frown. If superman was indeed here, then he would have to leave as soon as possible. Running into Bruce in Germany was enough and honestly he didn't have the patience to deal with a former ally. The League was a pawn in bigger game he knew and right now Superman's involvement, regardless of him knowing of his participation or not, didn't sit well with the boy.

The former hero began to message Slade via earbuds, but he received silence on the other end. "Wells thats not comforting." Robin frowned. At this point he decided he was just going to have to go and find the man himself. If Superman was here, did the hero toss Deathstroke from the building? Only to catch and detain him? Not unlikely, that is if Slade didn't put up a fight which he knew he would, but yet... he had a feeling that was not what happened. Somehow his gut told him that Slade simply walked away.

Regardless Robin made up his mind however to continue the journey downward, the end goal was still to reach the lobby. If anything he would have a higher chance of bumping into the man along the way.

"Hey!" Quickly Robin turned around to find an empty hallway, fully expecting to see someone there. He was half embarrassed however when he realized someone else was speaking to him through his communicator. However, his embarrassment changed to a delighted sense of relief.

"Asif."

"Glad to hear your voice!"

Robin smiled, "Yours to."

"We got Deathstroke's call for backup, we're almost there. What the hell happened?"

Robin began to walk down the hall. "Not entirely sure, don't have all the details, but it's them."

"Positive?"

"Yea... Asif..." A moment of silence swept over the boy as his eyes found the ground.

"Yea?"

"Did Sariel ever have any kind of weird abilities?"

Asif found the question rather odd but answered regardless. "Not really, she was a child soldier I know that much, so she was really good at her job I suppose. Some would say she was a little to fast and a little too lucky, until it ran out. But nothing to much out of the ordinary. Why do you ask?"

"Asif... She's alive."

"What? How? But... you watched her die!"

"I did. But... I saw her, just now. She gave me something."

There was a cautionary tone in Asif's voice, "What did she give you?"

"Another USB drive."

There was a silence between the two. "What do you think is on it?"

Robin frowned. "I don't know, but I want to find out." Asif could only agree.

"We're almost there, stay alive until then ok? No dramatic nonsense by taking on some supernatural being ok?" Robin could almost laugh. "I'll try."

Robin had hung up on the call fully knowing Asif and the rest of the backup was on its way. Robin knew at this moment he had to find a way to the lobby and he couldn't just let anything stand in his way anymore. He tried to contact Slade again but no response. He came to the conclusion that his master was elsewhere in the building, but was keeping radio silence for a reason. "Guess I better go find out what's keeping the old man." There was a few obvious reasons why Slade was being silent, all of them possibly to keep his apprentice safe and out of reach from the ben Elohim. But Slade really should know by now that Robin doesn't like to hide.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The boy kept buzzing him as it where and he kept ignoring the call. He couldn't exactly answer after he found his target. Although, he was glad that he was getting some kind of notification that his apprentice was still alive and kicking as it were.

"Didn't Sariel teach any of you anything? Did she not tell you what the Legacy is? I suppose not. All you know is that is wealth, but it is far more than that. It is power, it is creation and death. The Legacy is secrets, thousands upon thousands of years old. In fact I really don't expect you to understand any of them at all. But you must understand this much. That those that have this knowledge rule over all."

"And what exact kind of knowledge is in this so called Legacy of yours?"

"Why do you think they call it the Legacy?"

Slade nearly frowned, sometimes he really hated being without his mask. Keeping up appearances was always a little more difficult without it. He glared at the demon however only to find that suddenly the man was not alone. As if out of nowhere the child appeared at his side. She giggled and looked onto him. "He's out now, you can find him again if you really want to."

The mastermind didn't answer the child. But she did giggle when she caught his gaze. "We need to go." The young girl turned to the demon. "She wants us to leave, she needs us elsewhere." Slades mind processed that it was Aurora that was issuing the withdraw orders. He looked on at the two. "Leaving so soon?" The demon looked to the human and shrugged. Deathstroke stayed his ground when the child hovered in front of the fiend and almost as if they melded into the darkness they were gone.

Within moments Slade had called his apprentice. "Where are you?"

He could hear Robin walking at a fast pace as he scoured the hallways. "A few floors down from that room I got locked up in."

"I'm near the lobby, get down here ASAP and let's end this night."

Robin could only agree, it had been a long night and all he really wanted to do right now as curl up in bed. "I'm on my way."

The information that was given to him that night however ran through Slade's mind as he quickly processed the more important tidbits that were shared with him. If the monstrous creature was correct, then the Society may of been a part of the ben Elohim at some point after World War II, in fact it was most likely the Ben Elohim that helped fund its very creation. Tonight they were here to claim something that was once theirs. Something they had lost and something so valuable that the founders deemed it necessary to cut ties with the illuminati like society. It made him wonder, if the Society did indeed have a portion of the Legacy, then where was it? Who had it? They had to find their answers tonight. Right now Robin and himself were the only ones available to stop them.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"You know, that we know, that you are one of the family members of one of the original founders of this little society hrmmm?"

"I don't know what your talking about. Please. I-"

While other survivors were rescued by the man of steel, Geist made very sure to keep this one hidden. She was a young women, blonde, blue eyes, quite beautiful really. She was the daughter of one of the multi billionaires that helped run this little secret society of villains and criminals. She was one of the last of her family that held onto the secrets of what was once given to them in hopes that a bond could be forged between one society to another. But like all good things it came to an abrupt end when they had betrayed the ben Elohim, taking the Legacy's money and its secrets for themselves. It seemed they were so selfish even that they shared it with no one else but only to whoever was in the family. Not even those that ran this operation today knew of the Legacy's existence.

"Aubrey." his accent rolled off his tongue. "I'm going to kill you, you know this ja?" The man held both of his hands out. "Why not just tell me hrmmm? Dead or alive, I'm still going to find it. Do you have it with you, access to it on your phone. Who doesn't want that much money at a tip of your fingers?"

"You don't care about the money." she sneered at him. "You just want the old texts."

Geist chuckled. "You got me ja? So just hand it over?"

"No."

"No? I don't like it when people tell me no little girl."

She glared at him. "It doesn't matter what you do to me, its safe. The Legacy will always be safe from you."

"I wouldn't be so sure."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
