I'm sitting on the roof of an apartment building in front of Gotham academy with Raven and Tim. I'm watching the surrounding area when I hear someone speak through the comms. "We have eyes on Damian. North on top of Wayne Tech." Oliver tells us. I look at my partners with a single nod of my head and we make our way over to where Ollie instructs us. When I land I see exactly where Damian is. He's right where Oliver said he was. He looks to be pacing back and forth.

I raise my hand up to connect my end of the comms. "Bruce. I see him. I'm going to approach him. We're going to need all hands on deck here incase talking goes south." I tell him and not even two minutes later I'm being flanked by the whole team. "I'll signal you if I need help. But I need to do this myself." Bruce looks at me hesitant before nodding.

I extend my wings and fly over to the building landing on the ledge facing him with his back turned to me. When he turns around his face is blank but the look in his eyes shows that he's trying to figure something out. "Hello Damian." I say as I crouch down on the ledge.

Damian's P.O.V

The sound of wings flapping, feet landing on concrete, and the pull in my chest cause me to turn around to see the witch crouching on the ledge of the building. "Hello Damian." She says looking straight into my eyes. I look into hers and see them shift from green to purple back to green.

"Witch." I respond sneering at her. She sighs casting her eyes down. "I'm not a witch Damian. I go by Angel." She remarks. "If you are not a witch then how are you getting into my head?" I ask her and she sighs again. "You wouldn't believe if I told you." She tells me. I walk closer to her and step up on the ledge beside her. "Then explain to me the deal with the wings and the name." I lightly demand. "The wings and name are self-explanatory. I'm half human and half Angel. But I already explained that to you once." She responds voice evident with restraint.

"How is it that we know each other?" I question her. She looks across the street before looking back at me. "We grew up together Damian. I was raised in the League with you. Trained alongside you by your grandfather and my father. Deathstroke." She explains and I look in her eyes once again seeing that she's telling the truth. "You are Wilson's daughter?" I push and she nods her head. "I am." She plainly states.

"That is why Slade was with us when we came to the island a few days ago. He was there to help us save his granddaughter. My daughter." She tells me. "Alright. Now I have another question. Why did I have a dream of me calling you 'beloved'?" She pales in the face as her eyes change colour once again but this time a shade of blue. "I wish I could tell you but I can't for the reason I can't tell you how we can get into each others minds. You wouldn't believe me." She states. "Alright Angel. Now tell me one last thing. Why did you try to kill my mother?" I ask her.

Mykie's P.O.V

"Alright Angel. Now tell me one last thing. Why did you try to kill my mother?" Damian asks me. "I already told you Damian. I wasn't going to hurt her. I just wanted her to tell me where my daughter was. Talia Al Ghul only knows torture and taking something by force. I had do whatever was necessary to get my little girl back. Your mother kidnapped her from a park right here in Gotham in broad daylight while I was talking to my brother-in-law not even a foot away." I tell him looking him straight in the eyes to prove to him that I'm telling the truth. "If you don't believe me, I can show you what happened that day. As one of my abilities I can project my past off to someone with a touch." I tell him slightly raising my hand taking a step closer to him.

Damian raises his hand stopping me. "Do not step any closer Angel." He snaps his face which was calmer a moment ago is now stone cold. "How do I know that this whole time you haven't been lying to me. Mother did say that you would lie." He asks voice as cold as ice. "I have no reason to lie Damian. I promised you five years ago that I would never lie to you. No matter what happened since then I have kept that promise." I remind him with a frown on my face. He pulls out a dagger and points it at me.

I start subtly flapping my wings signaling to my team across the street that I need help. A moment later we're surrounded by my family. "I don't want trouble Damian. So please lower the knife." I try to reason with him.

Jason's P.O.V

I'm kneeling on the ground looking through my sniper scope watching Mykie and the kid talking. When I see her flutter her wings and him pull out a dagger I know that's the signal. "Batman! I've got the signal. We need to get over there." I yell out jumping up from my spot.

We get to the roof where they were standing talking and surround them. "I don't want trouble Damian. So please lower the knife." Mykie tries to reason he hesitates for a split second before he tosses the dagger right at Mykie. "Angel!" Tim yells but before it can touch her it's blown away her hand raised. A look of shock crosses Damian's face. "Ah yes. I control the elements. All of the elements." She says looking at him.

"Now step down from the ledge and onto the roof." She demands pointing a hand covered in fire. "I told you that I didn't want to hurt you but I will protect myself even it means I could possibly get hurt too. So I will say it one last time. Step down onto the roof and remove your katana." He does as she demands removing his sword and stepping off the ledge. When he drops his weapon Bruce pulls out handcuffs handing them to Mykie. She steps down behind him pulling his arms back and cuffs them. "You keep cooperating and we won't have to sedate you." She says as she holds his arm. The kid tries to jerk away from Mykie's touch but she grips his arm tighter. She turns towards us. "Who's he going with? I'm not strong enough to fly him back with me." She asks looking at Bruce. "He'll be riding back with me. I've got the space in the bat-mobile." Bruce responds Mykie nods handing Damian over to Bruce who takes hold of his arm leading him down to the car.

Mykie extends her wings once again hopping up onto the ledge. She turns one last time to address those of us who stayed around. "I'll meet you all back at the house." She says before flying away.

Mykie's P.O.V

Flying back to the manor felt really calming. When I get back Bruce wasn't there yet so I change out of my suit and go to check on Amira. She's sitting in the living room with Joey watching cartoons. I smile and walk around the couch lifting my daughter into my arms. She squeals giggling. "Hi mummy!" She says hugging me back. "Hi sweetie. Let's get you to bed okay?" I say to her bringing her up to her room putting her to bed.

I walk back downstairs and into the den to grab a glass of scotch. The door bursts open revealing a frantic Garfield.
