Covert Team/Damian
The team had concocted an intricate plan to ensnare Damian by sending him a message, ostensibly from Alfred, requesting a rendezvous at their usual café, albeit at an unusual afternoon hour. The risk was palpable, but the gamble was necessary.
Upon reaching the café, Damian seated himself, apprehensively awaiting Alfred's arrival. His instincts alerted him to the peculiarity of the situation. Suddenly, a woman emerged from the restroom and positioned herself opposite Damian. Recognizing her as Artemis, Damian's surprise was palpable, though he maintained an air of composure, cognizant of the unfolding trap.
"I presume Alfred won't be joining us?" Damian inquired icily.
"No," Artemis responded, her countenance stern.
"In that case, I see no reason to linger."
"Stay a moment," she advised cryptically. "You might find it worthwhile."
Intrigued, Damian observed as Artemis rose and approached the door, anticipating someone's entrance. Shortly thereafter, Jason Todd materialized from the bathroom and settled into the seat across from Damian. With a nod from Jason, Artemis departed the café, leaving the erstwhile comrades to their confrontation.
A tense silence enveloped them, the air thick with unspoken words. Damian steeled himself for the inevitable clash, prepared for whatever lay ahead.
"Jason, where have you been?" Damian ventured, attempting to defuse the tension.
"Oh, you know," Jason replied nonchalantly, smirking, "keeping busy, running circles around Superman and his cohorts."
"You'll be apprehended eventually."
"Confident, aren't you? I'm sitting right here. Why not arrest me now?"
Damian shook his head. "I suspect you have a hidden third accomplice. Besides, I'm unarmed."
"You, Damian Wayne, without a weapon? Armageddon must be upon us."
"I never carry weapons when meeting Alfred. Clearly, I misjudged today's circumstances. So, what is it you want?"
"Justice for my brother's death!" Jason's voice was laden with anguish and rage.
A shadow fell over Damian's face. "I regret my actions, deeply. If only I could turn back time and prevent that fateful mistake. But killing me won't resurrect Grayson."
"I don't seek his resurrection. I want your life!" In a flash, Jason lunged at Damian, toppling tables and chairs as they collided.
The adversaries grappled in a fierce melee, exchanging a flurry of punches and kicks. Unbeknownst to Damian, Artemis had informed Arsenal of the brawl's commencement, and their team proceeded to execute their plan to ensnare Raven. As the battle intensified, Damian remained oblivious to the fact that he was being manipulated, and that his foes were one step ahead.
Raven/Covert Team
The second team had assembled in Metropolis to ensnare Raven. Batgirl, Cass, Stephanie, Harley, and Zatanna joined forces to strategize and carry out their mission.
Their plan was simple yet effective; Zatanna would weave an illusion to lower Raven's guard, allowing them to capture her without resistance.
Raven was in her apartment when she heard a knock on the door and was surprised to see Damian standing there. She inquired about his unexpected visit. Instead of replying, he kissed her, sweeping her off her feet and carrying her to the bed where their passionate embrace continued.
