I really hate being a child of the gods sometimes. Especially when it mean’s the most powerful being on the earth comes and ruins your party. That’s what happened to me. Right after I named my new gryphon Scatty, the sand started to shift between our feet. Luckily, my instincts kicked in so I got everyone on to Scatty and the pegasi before a mini sandstorm erupted from the sand. A sleeping woman emerged. I brought out a needle from my shadow purse, knowing a way to defeat her.
“Finally. You’re coming to do the job that Melinoe failed” I mused
“Never get an amateur to do a masters job” she agreed
“So, how are going to do this?” I asked
“The old fashion way: a battle to the death” she grinned in her sleep
“More like a battle to sleep” I murmured
She shot at me and I dodged. I kept a layer of darkness under my feet so she couldn’t absorb me into the ground. I jumped over her and stuck my needle into a vein on the back of her arm. I stole some of her blood then put it in my arm. I screamed in pain. The power was almost un-bearable. I concentrated and made a wall of darkness and dirt separate us. I brought out my flute and started playing a soft lullaby. Gaea broke through the wall. I could tell she was starting to go deeper into sleep because she was braking apart. I kept playing, then Musica and Anima came out of no where and joined in with the harp and the piano. I was amazed about how sleepy it made me. Gaea kept going deeper and deeper into sleep until she fell down. I sighed with relief. Musica walked over to me. A blast of light intercepted her. It was a man with winged sandals, a winged helmet and a bag full of scrolls.
“Lord Hermes. How may I be of service?” I bowed. I herd Musica sighed in annoyance.
“Sarah, I have a scroll from Zeus here…somewhere” he said “Ah, here it is” he handed me a scroll
“For a good time call Erato” I said. Hermes quickly grabbed the scroll back, blushing.
“Wrong scroll!” he said sheepishly “I think I got a chance with her, it’s her cell number! Here we go. By order of Zeus, Sarah is to be at Olympus by sundown with a ‘date’”
“Why?” I wondered
“It doesn’t matter why, it matters what you’re going to wear and who you’re going to bring!” Hermes said, turning around
“Hermes, you realize Zeus had sent me to do that?” she demanded. I laughed when Hermes poofed away in a poofy cloud of poof right in front of Musica. Her face was priceless. It was a mix of anger, annoyance and shock.

"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.

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?"

Prologue to Chapter Nine- "The Beginning of More Troubles"
"Delta Squad, check in."
"Artemis, in position."
"Beast Boy in position."
"Batgirl, in position."
"Wondergirl, in position."
"Kid Flash wishing he was at the buffet."
"Good. Maintain your positions. The show is about to start. Nightwing out."
"See? This transmission was picked up by security officials at the olympic celebration." G. Gordon Godfrey stepped in front of the image of the celebration in Rio De Janeiro. "Its obvious that this Nightwing was planning something. On top 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 you can find a connection with the heroes, and the murder."

"It means," she whispered, centimeters from him, "that I want a real kiss."
"No, no, no, no!" Revenge said, wiping up the blood with his gloves. There was too much
on the floor. Too much had been lost. The sword that had done the damage was laying
over to the side. Revenge tried to pick it up, but his strength had left him. It clattered
to the floor beside him as he sank to his knees, the unbearable pain filling his
body and mind.
