A silver bolt shot through the air landing right infront of Deathstroke after whizzing by his ear. "Not so fast Deathstroke. You and me have business to take care of an don't even send a minion of your's to fight me, this is between you and me," Gretel said using a voice modifier to amplify and change her voice to make it sound as though she was everywhere and that she was even a girl. Red Devil looked around then walked over to Deathstroke and KF. "Sir I will go with KF to find the container so you can take care of your own problem." He said.

Deathstroke shook his head. "Please Red Devil. Don't be so Naive. Of course I won't waste my time here when I have more important things to attend to." He said calmly. "Kid Flash will stay here and handle whoever this person while we handle the security and find the container." He gave the order. And there was no disobeying Deathstroke.

"But Death~" Kid Flash stopped when Deathstroke put his hand up.

"If you have a problem I can always detonate the explosives and put you out of your misery." The grown man said to his grandson.

"No. I'll handle the pest." Kid Flash said calmly before looking around. "Come out!" He said knowing if he didn't fight Deathstroke would detonate the bombs.

"I'm not here for you so don't get in my way." Gretel said running across the roof top and jumping and flipping landing on a light post above KF. "If I take him out then you are free so just sit back and relax." She said jumping to the next light post to get closer to Deathstroke.

"Yeah. Here's the thing. If he even thinks I'm letting you go. I die. My father... Other's members of the league have already dealt with losing..." He shut up. Why was he even explaining? He didn't know this person. He sped up the nearest light pole and used it to gain some lift as he leaped at the mysterious assailant planning to grab her and either tackle or pull her to the ground.

Gretel was soon tackled to the ground and glared up at KF with dark eyes. "Get off of me I don't want to hurt you." She growled still having the voice manipulator working so it came out kind of demonic.

"Listen Lady. You won't be hurting anyone. If you know what's good for you get out of here." KF said pinning her down. He didn't want to fight this chick anyway. Actually she looked kind of hot, but right now he wasn't in a flirtatious mood or anything of the sort.

Gretel used what she remembered of her hand to hand combat practice and used her leg to kick him off and flip him over her head. She immediately took off running disappearing into the shadows as soon as she reached the boat. She continued running hoping to get away from KF and take care of the assassination quickly.

Hayley should have known she couldn't get away from nathaniel, but what could you do? He was in front of her within seconds. "Listen. I don't know who you are right now. And I don't care. But You're not going inside?" He said as he ran at her and began to throw punches and kicks aimed in places where he thought it wouldn't hurt her too much, but still send the message that she wasn't going to get in the ship.

She blocked the punches and kicks the best she could but he did have super speed so he landed some but her outfit helped cushion them. "Sorry" she muttered as she shot her currently loaded crossbow at his eighth thigh knowing he'd dodge it and move left she swung the hard end of her crossbow at his head in an attempt to knock him out.

Even with her high combat skills KF had the speed and reflexes to keep up with her and dodge. "You know you seem really familiar." He said as he backed away form hr just a bit. "Listen... Deathstroke is skilled enough to take on Batman. I can tell you're not on that level." he sighed. "Either you listen to me and drop it. Or I'm gonna need to do something I really..." He paused for a moment and gulped. "Really... Don't want to do." He finished looking visibly shaken about having to protect his grandfather. Even if the man was family he Kid Flash couldn't help but hate him. He was evil. He had his moment, but they were just that. Moments.

"I have to avenge my parents. He killed them for no goddamn reason so today he dies even if I die fighting him I will make sure to take him with me." Gretel said pulling out a smoke pellet and throwing it on the ground obscuring the air and vision enough for her to enter the boat and jump on to a container heading for Deathstroke

With his mask's built in vision modulator the spectrum was changed quickly. He went into thermal vision and didn't miss a beat and rushing to her. Still he couldn't just grab her arm. He reach for her hood and came to a stop. Still with the vision in thermal mode even if it came off he probably wouldn't see much of how she actually looked.

"Shit" Gretel murmured as her red hair became visible. She quickly jerked her hood out of his hand pulling it back up. "Fine, you win this one. But you need to figure out where you stand kid flash because the good guys and whoever you work with might be hurt that you may be evil now." Gretel finished before jumping off the boat back onto the dock and running back towards town hoping not to be followed.

Kid Flash didn't follow. "Deathstroke said to deal with her... Not to take her down." He said calmly.

Meanwhile Deathstroke was leaving the ship with Red Devil. "Good work. Both of you. Once we returned I'll show you what we needed to take." He said calmly holding both bags full. They were heavy. Increasingly heavy.

Hayley had finally arrived home and immediately changed out of her costume and fell onto the couch with a sigh. "that could have been bad..." she thought as she stared at the dark ceiling. "I wonder where Jay is?" She thought outloud immediately sitting up and looking around. Eventually Hayley just laid back and fell asleep, her brother was often out late so she thought nothing of it.

Devil stood behind Deathstroke silently a smirk on his lips underneath his mask as he thought about his sister finally beginning to come back to the villainous side maybe she could finally become his partner again.

Kid flash hated this. He wanted nothing more than to be able to take down Deathstroke? As it was though he needed to get the nanites out of himself. And only Deathstroke had the kill switch for the little big like machines swimming around in his blood stream.

Soon they would be back at the sort of headquarters in the warehouse. "Don't get too comfortable. We'll be moving first thing in the morning." The adult villain instructed red devil and kid flash. "Now follow me to the back."

Red Devil followed Deathstroke to the back silently and quickly making sure to keep his eye on Kid Flash.

'Hayley awoke from a nightmare breathing heavily and covered in sweat. Tears were forming in her eyes as the nightmare replayed in her head.

Hayley was standing in a pitchblack room. As she walked around she didn't see anything that was until she found a big mirror but when she looked in it she didn't see herself. Hayley saw herself as a child, the same age she was when her parents were murdered. As she turned around it was like a spotlight came on and in front of her was her parents room. She saw them sitting there happily watching a movie together but what they didn't see was the figure in the window. Soon glass shattered and a scream ripped through the air as her father was killed and shortly after her mother. The light soon flashed off and another one came on a little farther away.

Hayley walked towards the new light and she saw herself opening the door to her and her brother's apartment. As soon as she walked in she saw blood staining everything and there in front of her was Deathstroke standing over her brother's dead body. Hayley then watched as the scene changed and she saw herself as Gretel fighting with Deathstroke. She just silently watched as the fight raged on and then it came to a standstill. Deathstroke brought out the switch that could kill KF and she immediately froze. It stayed this way for awhile until Gretel whipped out her crossbow and fired two bolts, one flew into the wrist of the hand holding the switch and the other in between Deathstroke's eyes killing him instantly.

Gretel walked over and picked the switch up but then a breeze came towards her followed by a swift punch to the jaw. She then was pulled into a fight between her and KF but instead of her getting away he was able to pull off her hood and mask. He just looked at her in shock and disgust before he backed away before running off.'

Hayley understood the first two parts of the nightmare but she didn't understand why she had been so effected by KF and what he thought. She never really cared about what other people thought before so why now?

Deathstroke finally came to a stop. He threw one bag into what looked like a portable safe and the other he dumped onto a table. There was an assortment of weapons. he Grabbed Kid Flash and forced two gauntlets onto his wrists. "These are your's. They emit powerful energy blasts. Made of some of the strongest material and powered by Xinothi-ugh!" Deathstroke was cut short when he received a quick punch to the face. Kid Flash grit his teeth delivering quick powerful blows to his grandfather before he had the man on the floor. He held his fists towards Deathstroke the gauntlets glowing as they charged up. Deathstroke's mask had been cracked and his good eye was exposed.

He stared at Nathaniel waiting. "Go ahead. Kill me. Do it and you'll be free." He said in a calm yet cold tone. Kid Flash trembled a bit. He couldn't do it. He knew he could. Still a part of him wanted to. The part related to the monster of a grandfather in front of him wanted to blow him to pieces. But he deactivated the gauntlets and let his hands fall to his sides. Deathstroke seemed to glare before using his legs ot bring KF down. The boy his the ground hard and tried ot get up, but his grandfather grabbed his head and slammed it back down. "You're weak. Like your parents and all the other foolish heroes in that club for the self righteous. But soon enough I'll break you and show you who you really are." He said holding the speedster's face to the ground. "Red Devil. You may take your pick of one of the many weapons. And then watch over my grandson." He said before turning and leaving.

Kid Flash punched the ground. Dammit! I should have done it... I wish I could have. He thought angrily.

Devil picked up electrified kantanas and smiled. "Perfect. Now you have two choices. One come with me and behave while I check on my little sister because she will be worried if I don't return sometime before morning or two I knock you out and lock you in the box while I check on her. It's your choice but the first one involves you being blindfolded so you don't find out where I live and who my sister is because I know that you are a flirt." He said simply with a slight cold tone to it.

Kid Flash just had to listen. "Fine. I'll go along with you. But I swear I'm gonna beat you and Deathstroke down and enjoy locking you both up when I get back on the right side of the law." He said in a low tone. "Now let's hurry." He said not bothering to argue or fight any further.
