I gasped as Robin fell to the floor, fifty feet away. I 鸽子 after him, determinded not to let him hit the ground. I reached my hand out and grabbed his arm, careful not to yank it to hard. I slowed his speed, and then lightly placed him on the ground. He opened one eye and finally realized he didn’t splat. He quickly got up and dusted himself off. I started to walk away.
“Alex?” he called. I turned but didn’t answer.
“I’m sorry, ok?” he smiled. I kept my face expressionless, nodded and went back to the lounge. I closed my eyes and looked at the doors to my mind. They were shining bronze. And clean. My anger must have been tainting them. I heard foot steps coming towards me. I grabbed my mace and swung in that direction, opening my eyes. I abruptly stopped when I saw who was behind me. It was someone I’ve always looked up to, someone I’ve always wanted to meet, someone Shayera 说 would have a different answer to the 问题 I asked him when we first met. It was Wonder Woman.
“I am so sorry Wonder Woman” I apologized
“It was my fault for sneaking up on you.” She smiled “And please, call me Diana”
“So, Diana, what are doing here?” I asked
“Just taking a stroll. Hey, would 你 happen to know where 蝙蝠侠 might be?” She asked casually
“No, sorry. But I might know someone who has” I smiled “Robin? 你 there?” I 说 in to my comm. unit.
“Yeah, what is it?” Robin said
“I need to know where 蝙蝠侠 is” I responded
“In Gotham. Why?” Robin replied
“Wonder Woman wants to see him” I said, growing impatient.
“Okay, tell her he’s at work. She’ll know what that means” Robin replied
“He’s at work” I told Diana. She nodded and walked away. I walked into the lounge and everybody looked at me. I got an idea.
“Who wants to watch a movie?” I asked. They all smiled.
“Any ideas on what we should watch?” I asked
“Comedy!” Wally suggested
“Action!” Artemis 说
“Sci-fi” Conner recommended
“Romance!” Megan suggested
“Okay. We’ll need popcorn, candy, pillows in case we get tired 或者 want to have a 枕头 fight and a movie” I instructed
“I’ll get the 糖果 and popcorn” Megan volunteered
“I’ll get the movie and the pillows then” I 说 “We’ll meet back here in ten minutes”
“Alex?” he called. I turned but didn’t answer.

"I don't wanna die!" the boy howled, digging his face into Revenge's knee.
"You have no say in the matter."
"I do." Revenge growled.
The assassin turned his head slightly before tossing a 刀 in Revenge's direction. It caught him in the chink in his armor. Literally. Revenge glared at the blood seeping from the wound. The black clad assassin continued his approach. Revenge punched him in the throat, crushing his windpipe, causing the man to stumble backwards.
"You wanna play with knives?" Revenge yelled. "Two can play at that game!"
For a second, the assassin couldn't breathe. Then, he stood up, rubbing his neck.
"No way." Revenge muttered, stepping back.
"Red Revenge. For interfering with the mission, 你 too shall feel the talons of the Court of Owls!"
Night of the Owls.
Coming Soon.

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any 更多 smart remarks?"

"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.

"Wondergirl, in position."
"Kid Flash wishing he was at the buffet."
"Good. Maintain your positions. The 显示 is about to start. Nightwing out."
"See? This transmission was picked up 由 security officials at the olympic celebration." G. Gordon Godfrey stepped in front of the image of the celebration in Rio De Janeiro.

On 最佳, 返回页首 of that, Kid Flash admits that he would rather be eating than watching over some of the richest and most powerful men in the world!" Let's watch what else happened that day. See if 你 can find a connection with the heroes, and the murder."
