Bruce was angry. In fact, he was enraged at the stupidity of their plan. Who goes straight into the belly of the beast? Of course, his kids would. One thing was for sure about this whole dilemma, Damian Wayne had feelings. He never thought he'd see the day Damian would care for someone other than the family circle. It didn't mean he agreed with the people of his choosing. There was no escaping the young assassin's past.
"Do you think they will agree to these terms?" Bruce spoke after Damian confessed about most of the mission. "I think they will" Damian spoke. Realistically he had no clue what was going on, he wasn't sure that they would agree. He just hoped. "I don't think they would have agreed to the meeting if they didn't think it could work.'
"Arrange it," Bruce walked away "Soon, we have more problems pilling up."
They all stood together in silence for a few moments each with thousands of things running through their mind before someone finally spoke up.
"Has anyone else ran into people from the Clan," asked Raven. If there were more how many more people would have to get involved?
"Not that we know of" Tim responded "We warned them but they haven't reported anything back, they might have some suspects. Jason probably won't tell us until he's sure he has them. and Dick would let us know. Babs, Steph, and Cass are all on a mission but they haven't told us anything yet."
"You should let them know what's going on" Althea spoke "If they do something still assuming there's a danger then they'll ruin everything"
"We told them not to approach," Damian responded instantly.
"When has Jason ever listened?"
"Valid point," Tim walked towards the back room, "I'll give them a call"
"Now how do we contact them?"
"We can try and contact Flora" Althea stood walking up the stairs "She might be easy to reach, we don't know if they have their phones on them. We usually just called their work phone or showed up"

Willa hated losing and admitting she was wrong and both of those things were happening at the moment.
"You'll find a compromise" Freya spoke "You haven't killed anyone here in Gotham anyway, right?"
"We have not caused any harm to anyone" Alastor spoke frustrated with the situation. He sat like a kid who's been told Santa isn't real, hurt and enraged.
"Listen, we're staying to make sure you don't screw this u-"
"There is no need for that," Willa insisted "You guys have a life. This is our problem there's no need to get involved."
"If there was no need, then there was no need for you to warn us," Hephaestus was growing angry "We are staying to keep you in check. We will take turns going back and forth between here and Jump City. We will meet with the Bat and you will compromise. This is not up for debate. Understood?"
"Yes," There was a lot of anger raging through their minds but there was an understanding. Willa and Alastor enjoyed and thrived in the chaos and maybe there needed to be a sense of logic that Hephaestus and Freya had at times.
There was an understanding of the words spoken. There was a sense of peace and dread. They hadn't been together in a long time. The idea that maybe they would all be together again scared Willa. She knew they had good and happy times but sometimes it would be draining rehashing all their memories and pains.
"What do you have on Trevor and the Clan?" Althea walked toward the room with a few files and computers set up, "We need to know everything so we can negotiate properly with them"
"Well, we've been following bank statements, finding safe houses, connecting the other buyers from the clan." Alastor pulled out a map with red and blue marks on specific spots. "Connect the blue with its red and in the middle is where one is located"
Willa reached over and pointed at the different spots "Those are safe houses of his, these are buyers and where they'd meet to exchange goods. These are where the other allies live" she pulled out five files from the drawers "This is their basic information when you're done with those I'll get the more in-depth information."
"Call the others to stand down," Hephastous spoke "And we can keep discussing this"
When Alastor and Willa finished making calls they began to converse about what they had and what their plan consisted of the entire night was them speaking when Flora received the message from Althea that there was a meeting. They agreed to rest and that tomorrow they'd visit the Bat Clan.
AN: Hi, sorry I've been gone. I have a lot going on personally and educationally but I will be updating! Thank you for adding to your reading list! I would appreciate some votes and comments!
If you can read my other book Gods, it focuses on the other half of the clan with my OC Macey/Maeko and Jason Todd. You don't need to read both because they focus on different things but you will be seeing those characters! I just didn't know how to write all the clan characters in one story!
