The impact looked like it hurt Todd. Of course that incompetent fool was getting his ass kicked while he and Jon were shopping in metropolis, wasn't he supposed to be working in Gotham with the outlaws?

Red hood had been roughly thrown into a wall. Only moments after a block or so away a large explosion roared. Damian had questions. "Todd?...He's my brother, but I thought he was in gotham with Bizarro and Art-" two figures had charged towards red hood one wore a purple helmet and a black combat suit with claws electrified with purple energy, the other charged with a sword and wore a similar black suit but with silver metallic plating over it and a helmet in the style of a medieval knight. The swordsman was tackled by Artemis who knocked him down the road towards Damian and Jon then began to dual him with surprising difficulty for an Amazon "That answers one question"
"But where's Bizarro? We have to help" Jon responded obviously panicked, the giant was nowhere to be seen while the battle began to unfold before them, each of the unknown combatants moved with a certain element of knowledge, of an expectancy of how their enemy would react to each movement.

Damian instinctively reached for his birdarangs, but then his eyes scanned the street and noticed atleast a dozen people beginning to record and witness what was happening.
Shit he thought gritting his teeth.
"Wait" Damian grabbed Jon's arm, they obviously had the same impulse
I need to watch out for him and make sure he doesn't rush into anything stupid he noted mentally
"this is way too public and we aren't in costume" Jon hesitated, realising how open they were and how many people were recording the two fights, neither fight seemed to have a clear advantage for either side, but that could quickly change "but these guys seem dangerous."
"They can handle themselves, we need eyes on Bizarro and to make a proper assessment"
"Fine" they turned quickly and ran into an alley, Damian turned back for a moment and seemed to make a few instant calculations before throwing three birdarangs at once that curved around the street before slicing the back of the swordsman's legs dropping him for a moment. They went went up one of the smaller buildings Damian grappling and Jon flying

"damn city I can't see anything"
"We need to get higher" Jon grabbed him and flew Damian into the air and onto the roof of a giant skyscraper holding him like a damsel *TT* Damian ignored his bright red face and began scanning for Bizarro when he saw him his heart dropped.
In between vicious combos beating the shit out of him a large man with venom dispensers along his back and sides was using bombs exploding in green gas on the mutant disorientating him "Dami..."
"What is..." Jon was pointing back to where red hood and Artemis were, Jason was bleeding heavily from his stomach holding onto it tightly while limping away firing his gun back at his opponent who was walking towards him at a mockingly slow speed, his armour un-phased by the gunfire.
Artemis on the other hand was still trying to put up a good fight but one of her arms was clearly broken and she was covered in blood from a variety of cuts "help Todd he's in the worse position I'll take the big guy, we cant Risk him using kryptonite on you..." Damian was saying while pulling on his domino mask and putting on his utility belt before he was interrupted "well well well what do we have here?" A tall menacing looking man was on the roof with them "we were expecting kryptonian interference but not from someone quite so young and... Robin? I presume, the two of you could fetch us a pretty bonus." He was smiling down at them, looking at them like they were prey caught in a trap. Damian decided he was not prey and that he would punish this fool for thinking so.

"Superboy go, I can handle this guy." Half a dozen bladed weapons flew towards the man while Damian charged him, he wore a similar black suit but with dozens of small pockets and gadgets all over him. He moved out of the way of the projectiles with another disturbingly calm smile before dodging robin completely seemingly without effort moving under his strike and kicking him in the back sending him halfway across the roof "Get away from him!" Superboy threw a punch that the villain caught with one hand while smashing an electrified escrima over his head knocking him to his knees. the boy looked up in anger, his eyes glowing bright red, instantly the tall man smashed a handful of small blue capsules into superboys face that exploded in ice crystals that covered his face shutting down his heat vision and letting out a disturbing shriek of pain then the man turned and jabbed the escrima directly into robins stomach before he could make it over to them knocking him down instantly.

"Wow, honestly I expected so much more, though you're both determined, I'll give you that" as they both began to get up he pulled a small device out and create a high pitched scream that dropped both the boys to their knees in pain. Damian looked over and saw Jon who was in agony writhing and looking almost like was having a seizure, and gritted his teeth, reaching for a birdarang, if he could just reach it...

A red flash destroyed the device making the man cry out and grab his now burnt hand "Jon?" Damian said slowly looking at the boy who was completely unconscious, if not him then... "Superman's here, shit, he's here early pull us out now, forget the targets just get out..." Robin kicked the man in the chest sending him to the edge of the roof then... he smiled at Damian "see you boys soon" he dropped off the edge of the roof and Damian rushed to shoot his grapple, catching the man's ankle but a pair of hands reached through a window pulling the man into the window, before an unseen blade cut Damian's rope. "Shit."

"I'm fine are the outlaws okay?" Jon said coming to as Damian checked him over he then rushed to the edge of the building to check on his brother. Red hood and Artemis were both badly and severely bleeding Bizarro along with the figures in the purple mask and with the sword were gone. The man who fought Bizarro was being held up by the throat by superman... "Please...no DON'T DO IT I SURRENDER!" The man's head exploded horribly blood, bone and brain matter covered the man of steel who dropped the body looking shocked and disgusted he then turned to red hood and Artemis, grabbed them both and took off into the sky.

"W...what happened I... I don't understand" Jon was next to him In shock "superman just murdered a villain in front of a dozen witnesses."
"No... He wouldn't"
"I know he wouldn't, but that's what they all saw. They took Bizarro."
"No..."
"He was waiting."
"What do you mean?" The older boy ignored him
"This" he walked over and picked up a small metal disk up from the floor, it was about the size of his palm with a few small turrets pointing inwards "is extremely high tech" Damian continued
"What are you talking about?"
"Your heat vision"
"I don't understand"
*TT* "Keep up corn boy, can you use your heat vision?"
It took a second for a slight red glow to appear in his eyes then it disappeared and Superboy put his hands on his head and said "no."
"How about your x-ray vision and super hearing,"
"I don't know my ears are ringing and my eyes hurt."
"How hard did you hit him?"
"Hard"
He narrowed his eyes "show me"
Jon flew up for a moment before smashing his fist into the ground shattering it into a complex spiderweb of cracks.
"We need to go, tell our fathers what we know and figure out where they are." He ran a hand through his hair
"Dami..."
"Not now I need to think."
He felt a hand slip into his, their eyes met and Damian felt instantly calmer, like he was enveloped in a calming ocean of blue that held him safe.
"Hey it's gonna be okay alright? I've got you dami"

Damian swallowed and paused for a second before speaking "Their tech, their skill, their organisation, each of them was specialised towards their target, a close range fighter with electric equipment to nullify red hoods tech, an expert warrior to fight the Amazon someone they had to have known would be able to keep up, a brawler with venom and kryptonite to fight Bizarro. It's too planned out, their getaway was too fast, killing one of their own instantly after they get caught. If fighters of that quality are expendable then..."
"It doesn't matter, we'll get them, next time none of them will get away and we'll get back bizarro." Damian smiled and let out a quiet "ok"
