Chapter 8:
"Sportsmaster?" Beast Boy said.
"You say his name one more time I'm going to kill you." Revenge said. "YES Sportsmaster. Who else would give me a run for my money?"
Nightwing raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, I forgot." Revenge said. "The All Mighty Nightwing."
"What was he doing?" Blue Beetle asked.
"I don't know. He was just walking in civilian clothes. I followed him into an alley-"
"--and got your butt kicked." Beast Boy replied, grinning. The grin quickly faded as Revenge grabbed him around his throat. Nightwing leaped to separate the two, but Revenge let Beast Boy go.
"You have no idea what he was doing?" Nightwing asked again.
"Are you deaf bird-boy? NO!"
"This, this is too much." Barbara said.
Megan slipped an arm over her friend's shoulder. "It wasn't your fault Barbara. You didn't know."
"That's not an excuse! I should've known! But I didn't hear her breathe... I- I-"
"I agree with Barbara." Cassandra said, clutching her stomach. "We disintegrated a pussy cat today.I got sick in my mask."
"I'm not doing well in my classes," M'gann said. "But it is enough for Batman to swoop in."
Holly looked up.
"No."
"No?!" the three exclaimed mentally.
"No." Holly repeated. "I've been in these schools before. There isn't enough information on this school to bring them before the ICC. They'll escape and brainwash girls from the beginning. Then there is no way for us to continue. Barbara, I know that accidentally killing that girl has devastated you, and Cass, the pussycat made you sick. But that's not enough. The school will claim the pussy cat was being cremated and the girl was a dummy inside a dummy. We need solid proof. We need out right cold blooded killing."
"You're going to wait to the point of cold-blooded human killing you disgusting piece of New York slime!" Barbara yelled telepathically, starting to stand up, but M'gann forcing her down before she could attract attention.
"I was an assassin." Holly replied coldly. "Captain Adams and Nightwing assigned me to this mission to call for the proper time to extract you. I'm in charge of the extraction time. Nightwing doesn't call in reinforcements until I give the word."
M'gann's eyes glowed. "She's not lying."
Before Barbara could actually preform bodily harm to the nineteen year old, the Headmistress, Catalina Flores, stepped up to the Podium.
"Girls! Our board of directors wishes to make an announcement!"
"Board of Directors?" Holly muttered. "She can't mean--!"
Before Holly could finish her sentence, the screen behind Miss Flores lit up with the faces of Queen Bee, Vandall Savage, Klarion the Witchboy, the Brain, and Lex Luthor.
As one the girls bowed. Raising their right hand they chanted:
"Hail the Light!"
"That enough proof for you?" Barbara asked, same position as the other girls.
Holly gritted her teeth.

This is the song i chose for someones playlist. hope you like!
You sat me down on a rock hard chair,
You told me i'd never leave,
But i didnt care!
You're the good guy,
And i aint,
Its time to say good bye, this aint our fate.
You fight for the good,
But i dont, i dont.
I'm not sure it you love me,
Or i it just this good guy,
Bad girl chemistry?
You're the hero i'm suppose to hate,
But we dont play by the rules,
You took me on a date,
ANd when you got home, your freinds were like,
"You aint welcome back, Go get a life!"
Guess i have to say i'm sorry,
I didnt mean to casue ya trouble baby.
I'm not sure if you love me,
Or is it this good guy,
Bad girl chemistry?
Music
I'm the villain babe,
You're suppose to stop me from coming,
Or have a luck save.
I've got a hook,
And i'm pretty sure you know,
Its got something to do with your looks.
I'm not sure if you love me,
Or is it this good guy,

Somewhere in the Arctic, 4:49 a.m.
Nathan curled up on the rocky floor of the dark cave, protected from the snow for now. He'd found a piece of rock chipped off from the edges of the cavern and had somehow created a spark that had ignited into a flame. How it was sustaining, well, he didn't know. But it was keeping him warm, and for that he was grateful.
It suddenly dawned on him that he felt immensely drained, nearly useless. His heart wasn't beating as fast as usuall. Pushing himself up, he went to find a pool of ice, to see what was wrong. What he saw shocked him: his hair had turned to it's orginal mocha hue, a sign of no powers.
He sighed, and realized with a jolt he was in a cave. A cave... and the last person he'd seen was the Batman's daughter. This small fact slightly amused him, but amusement turned to worry. "Fin..." he murmured. "Why can't you see past what I've done? Why can't you see that I love you?"
