"You never want to do anything amigo!" Jaimie exclaimed. "Why did you even join the Team?"

"The purpose is gone now." Revenge said, turning away. "If you want me to leave, I will after this mission." 

Jaimie stood shell-shocked. "Hombre, I didn't mean--"

"Save it, Jaimie." Revenge said. "Nightwing has a debriefing to do. I've got lives to protect."

The Black Hero jumped the building and was gone.

"How did you come by the information?" 

"Private communication with Holly."

"She's still serving our purposes?"

"Yes."

Epilogue-

2 weeks later...


Artemis landed on the rooftop, bow drawn.

"Relax, it's me." Revenge said, emerging from the shadows.

Artemis cocked her head, but didn't let go of her bow OR arrow. "What do you want Revenge?"

"I've changed my mind." Revenge said. "I'll join the Team on one condition."

"What condition?" Artemis asked.

"You listen to what I have to say."

"Assassin."

"Master." 

Cheshire bowed before Ra's Al Ghul. 

"Your mission was a success?"

"Yes master." Cheshire handed her leader a disc which he inserted into a computer. "Holly's true loyalties were proven."

The screen behind Ra's Al Ghul lit up revealing a familiar face.

"And another of the "heroe's" identities belongs to...the Light."

Revenge stumbled away. The woman looked at the needle in her hand. The blood within was mixed with a strange brown mixture. Revenge gripped his arm and glared at the woman.

"A simple test will tell me who is beneath the mask, Red Revenge. And your secret will belong to me."

"Not likely." Revenge growled.

"Oh, but that's not all it does." she continued. "It poisons the blood stream. Corrupts the DNA within cells and eventually kills them."

"Nerve gas."

"In a liquid form, yes Red Revenge."
