Some more fast forwarding here but it is getting close to slowing down, so with that said I won't bore anyone with a long rant this time around so read and enjoy.

Chapter 6

Six months, it's been six bloody months since Master dropped me off somewhere in the Afghan desert leaving me with Nyssa Al Ghul as my teacher and the woman has been taking this favour she is repaying serious, and it's hurt like nothing I have ever felt. She had grown on me after she took me under her wing once the month of torture was over though, which somehow I survived without too much change to who I am, or rather who I used to be. I am still a kid at heart but I know what true pain is now because these League of Assassins guys don't mess around when they want to hurt you; they go all out physically, mentally and spiritually. If not for the serum that flowed through my blood I would have lost myself to the darkness of this place long ago.

Sitting here on the tallest roof around this hidden city of assassin I think about what my sisters are up to. Master told me that he would go and explain to them after leaving since I can't talk to anyone while I am here, not that it has bothered me much since it gave me time to put my mind to the task of fixing Zeta up and prepare it for it's next update. "Up here again little bird" Nyssa says from behind me. Before I got used to this place she would make even me jump whenever she did that, "I had the afternoon free so I thought I would come back here to think" she hummed in response, she has the whole calm assassin thing down.

"I was thinking about my three adopted sisters, wondering what they have been up to and all that" there were no secrets from her, which was one of her rules for teaching me, another was that I call her teacher whenever we were training. "Family often plague our thoughts when we have too many worries then we know what to do with. So what worries you little bird?" she really was like a mother, but I saw her as an aunt instead since I had enough crazy sisters as it was.

I knew I had worries that I didn't want to think about or even voice to someone else, but one of the points of coming here was to teach me how to deal with them so that I am prepared for my life after this place, so I spoke. "I worry about being alone because of the path I have chosen, don't get me wrong, I love my sisters but I also want someone who would accept me for who I am and who I will be... I want someone to love and who loves me I guess" she hummed again. "I can understand this want of yours, but because of this path as you call it, it will be difficult for you to find someone who is right for you. Though you must never hide who you are from the person you wish to be with because this type of secret will tear you both apart. The heroes have the same problem, so you shouldn't feel too alone in your misery" I chuckle at her. She like everyone else who really knew me knew that I disliked heroes more then I did villains, I blamed it on Batman and his narrow minded views, while Master blamed it on me being to smart for my own good.

"The deference between me and them is that I don't do the whole futile hero thing while they will always see me as a villain just because they split the world into black and white" it was a subject that I didn't like bringing up but I guess that's why she steered the conversation into this direction; the heroes were still a sore subject, them and their archaic views. Nyssa walked forward and sat down next to me, "Sooner or later you will face one or all of them when they find out who you are, you will most likely find yourself their captive sooner or later and you will have to be ready for their special type of torture" she didn't have to tell me about their type of torture because Master already gave me that lecture.

"They will look at me with pity; they will try and save me by having me join them as one of their new pet projects. I know all about their guilt tripping and empty threats, they aren't something that will work on me because I can play their game too" I had some plans to keep myself safe from them but they weren't something that I would share because it would make me public enemy number one and I didn't want to put that much attention on myself. "It would still do you some good to interact with some of them, so that you learn to know the people behind the masks, much like you yourself" now she was beginning to push it, but I let her because I wanted to know what her angle was.
