I woke up and looked at the calendar. My birthday. I wasn’t even the least bit excited because the woman who gave birth to me was gone. At least my real Dad would be attending. I looked at the time. I gasped. It was 9:30 and my alarm just went off! Who could’ve done this?! Robin. I walked out the door to find my dad waiting for me.
“Happy Birthday, sweetie” he whispered
“What’s so happy about it?” I growled
“I know your Mom would want you to celebrate without her. She would be proud of you. She would also want you to get dressed!” Green Arrow smiled. I gave him a grudging smile, then went back into my room and got dressed. I wore a dress Black Canary got for me. Green Arrow said she wanted me to wear it on my fifteenth birthday. It was a white short kimono with black trimming. I wore black and white running shoes. I braided my hair down my back and put some black eye shadow on. I walked out and Green Arrow smiled.
“I’m glad the dress fits. Your mother saw it in this cute little oriental shop on our honeymoon. She knew it would be perfect for you” my dad said. In case you didn’t know, my dad is Green Arrow and my mom is Black Canary. We walked down the hall to the lounge, where all the lights were off. I started to get suspicious because people should be in the lounge by now; it was almost 10:00. I brought out my fans which cut through rope, wood, glass, plastic, flesh and bone then entered. I turned the lights on and everyone jumped up yelling “Surprise!” I freaked out and jumped a good three feet in the air! Once I recomposed myself, I walked back in.
“What’s all this?” I asked, gesturing to the balloons, streamers and the cake.
“It’s your surprise birthday party” Kalder explained
“How did you find out it was my birthday?” I asked, glaring at my dad
“Don’t look at me” he laughed. I looked at Robin. He shook his head.
Kalder: “Nope”
Megan: “I just baked the cake!”
Wally: “Artemis told me!”
Artemis: “No I didn’t!”
Super Boy: he just shook his head.
Red Tornado: “I was informed this morning when they asked me to help decorate”
I looked at Batman because he was the only person left. The second my eyes rested upon him, he turned away. I grinned evilly.
“Hey everyone, guess what!” Batman’s shook his head frantically “In a couple of day’s, its Batman’s Birthday” I glanced over my shoulder and realized my dad was smiling proudly at me. I knew if Black Canary was here, she’d be doing the same thing. When I looked back, Batman had disappeared.
“Happy Birthday, sweetie” he whispered

"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 knife 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, you too shall feel the talons of the Court of Owls!"
Night of the Owls.
Coming Soon.

Dozens of reporters swarmed around the billionaire from New York, but he calmly walked past them all and into the limousine. A bodyguard turned around.
"Mr. Grant has no statement to make." he said in a heavy accent, and got into the car with the billionaire before it drove off.
"Target moving north."
"Nightwing?"
"What?"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah. I told you the target was moving north."
"It sounded like a girl said it."
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"No."
"Then keep an eye on the target, Batgirl. Nightwing out."

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 more smart remarks?"
"Ladies first." Revenge said.

"Har har, funny."
