Betrayal
(Part 2)
New York City

ব্যাটম্যান placed a firm kick on the door and it fell in. সুপারম্যান and Flash quickly scoured the penthouse while ব্যাটম্যান walked into the living room. He bent down on the floor and rubbed his fingers.
"Superman! Flash!"
The two sped into the room and looked at Batman.
"This way." The Dark Knight said, standing up and following the trail of blood down the stairs. It led to a storage closet and just ended. ব্যাটম্যান threw open the door and looked inside. Nothing but a mop and broom.
"Damn it!" he exclaimed.
"Nightwing to Batman. I've found Revenge."
"Where?!"
"In a warehouse beating the crap out of someone."
ব্যাটম্যান looked at Superman. "This is going to be awkward, but we need to get there fast."
"Agreed," The Man of Steel said, picking up ব্যাটম্যান and speeding off, Flash right behind him. The three নায়ক arrived পরবর্তি to Nightwing in no time at all.
"Where?!" ব্যাটম্যান demanded.
"Warehouse." Nightwing said, pointing at a building across the street. Smoke was pouring from it.
"This ought to be fun."
Revenge placed another মুষ্ট্যাঘাত and আরো explosives. Anyone who tried to come near him was thrown back. Somewhere through the building, the দেওয়াল exploded inward and Revenge could hear Batman's voice yelling.
Revenge turned invisible and grabbed Holly. She screamed, trying to stab and মুষ্ট্যাঘাত him. She was slammed into the দেওয়াল face first.
"This is for betraying me." Sam said. He grabbed both sides of Holly's head and jerked.
She fell to the ground lifeless, her neck broken. Nightwing ran up and looked at Holly's dead body in horror. Revenge turned around and then disappeared through the roof. ব্যাটম্যান ran up behind Nightwing.
"Superman and Flash are pursuing—oh my God."
"Recognized: Batman, 02. সুপারম্যান 01. Nightwing, B-01. Flash, 06."
"So do we tell them?" Flash asked.
"No," ব্যাটম্যান said. "They don't need to know and it's Justice League business."
"Well what do we do?!" Flash exclaimed. "He just killed his own partner!"
"We hunt him down and take the truth from him." ব্যাটম্যান said. "Even if it requires force."

"Your birthday is tomorrow and আপনি may not even survive!" Alexa yelled. "Eat the damn cake!"
"Not hungry." Sam replied, downcast.
Alexa shoved the cake so close to him, some got on his nose and face. "Eat."
"Give him a break, Alexa." Another voice ব্যক্ত from the doorway. "If he wants to starve to death, let him starve to death."
"What did আপনি do? Walk?" Sam asked, sitting up and wiping the cake off of his face.
"Nope, flew through the air."
"Shut up, Holly. It's bad enough আপনি "murdered" me, now you're giving me smart comments?!"
"Whoah, whoah, whoah." Alexa said. "What?"
"It's a long story." Sam said.
"Too long." চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ replied.
"We need to get ready." Sam said, trying to stand up. The blonde forced him back into his chair. "Eat."
Sam sighed and took a large bite of cake. It was gone so fast, চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ thought he'd inhaled it. She grinned and sat down পরবর্তি to him. "Can I have a slice?"
"Wow, and here I thought my cooking was bad." Alexa said.

The screens flicked on one দ্বারা one and চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ knelt.
"Masters."
"Holly," Ra's Al Ghul responded. "Out of all of the superheroes anyone was supposed to kill, only আপনি succeeded."
-Flashback—
চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ bent down and pretended to lick Sam's earlobe.
"I wish I could've told আপনি earlier, but the Light thinks I'm on their side and they want me to kill you. Just play dead so I can get closer inside. Ravager was in danger of being uncovered. This was the only way to save the mission. Stay safe."
চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ stepped off of Sam and grabbed her jacket, pulling it back on. She left the ছুরি in his stomach and walked off. After about five minutes, Sam stood up and pulled the half inch of metal out of is stomach. He was bleeding, but would live. He stumbled out the door and down the সিঁড়ি to a closet where he left emergency supplies. He wrapped a bandage around himself and slipped a শার্ট on before heading towards his car.
-Flashback-
"I am merely serving my role in the larger plan." চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ said, kneeling some more.
"You are humble." Ra's smiled. "We appreciate loyalty, the humbleness to accept your piece of the puzzle, and family ties."
"Welcome to the Light, my girl." Vandal said.
The screens flicked off one দ্বারা one and চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ stood up. Sam walked in behind her. "You ব্যক্ত your father was dead."
"He is." চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ said, narrowing her eyes. "I have absolutely no clue what he is talking about."
New York City
June 16, 23:56 EST
The teleportation pad hummed. Revenge and পান্না stepped off of it to see ব্যাটম্যান and Nightwing along with সুপারম্যান waiting for him with stern, and surprised, looks on their faces.
"Explain, fast." ব্যাটম্যান demanded.
"It's part of a rouse." Sam said. "I faked my death to allow the Light to think they're getting the upper hand. They'll attack the Justice League and we can wipe them out."
"Wrong." ব্যাটম্যান said. "We can arrest them. There will be absolutely NO killing."
"Then you're crazy." Sam said. "Get out."
ব্যাটম্যান obliged, closely followed দ্বারা Nightwing, who shot a glare at the Black Hero, and সুপারম্যান who had an interested look on his face.
"Recognized: Batman, 02. Nightwing, B-01. Superman, 01."
চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ looked at Sam in concern. "Now what?"
"Now," Sam said. "We contact my partner and tell her to secure her end of the deal."
চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ nodded and tapped a few buttons on the computer.
The grandfather clock Sam kept around out of nostalgia rang. Midnight of June 17.
"Happy Birthday." চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ said, স্নেহ চুম্বন him on the lips.
"Thanks, Holly." Sam replied, hugging the girl tight.
"The final battle is approaching." Sam said. "I fear we won't have time for much celebration."
"You're turning 25." চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ said. "I think we can afford one night of celebration."
Sam grinned. "When আপনি 'killed' me, আপনি left me hanging. For two whole days."
চিরশ্যামল গুল্মবিশেষ replied with a grin of her own. "Let's go প্রথমপাতা and see what I can do about that."

"Quite impressive." A voice whispered in Revenge's ear.
Revenge kept his masked eyes forward. "Yes. Quite. আপনি secured things on your end, partner?"
"Yes,"
"Good, now we let the two sides fight it out."
A অগ্রদূত screeched up in front of Alpha Squad. Gas flew out of the অগ্রদূত and in a few seconds, the entire team was unconscious. Masked men walked out and threw the teens into the back of the van.
Sam flew unconscious into the van. A shadowy figure landed পরবর্তি to the men.
"Missed one." the female said.
The men nodded and got back in the অগ্রদূত before driving off.
