Ra's watched as Renegade boarded the helicopter for the second time. The plan was to use the clone as bait to lure Batman and the others to their doom. After that, he will declare in front of the whole league Renegade shall be his heir to his organization.

Talia, on the other hand, was much more furious. Her anger increased by ten-fold. Her own agenda with Renegade was progressing slowly. She had to take drastic measures. She feared the moment her beloved will die in the hands of a 10 year old who was just basically confused and brainwashed.

I hate this.

I sat on one of the gargoyles when I saw Robin patrolling alone. Wait, did I just mentioned Robin? Yep. The one and only boy wonder. Or should I say boy blunder.

I left my perch then decided I should follow him. I know you may think of me as a stalker. I watched him In the shadows. I heard his name is Damian Al Ghul Wayne. He flipped gracefully over the space of two buildings. I followed suit. He landed on the roof in a crouching position. He was about to use his grapple when he suddenly froze. Shit. I forgot he had assassin training. I'm such an idiot. He must've sense my presence.

"Show yourself!". Robin shouted, ready to throw birdarangs. I left my hiding place. I sneaked up behind him. Talia's right. He's about my age (biologically, I mean). I got near him and tapped his shoulder. He turned around (he's kinda cute... Did I just said that?). I punched him in the face quickly before he can make a move. Bird boy staggered backwards. I think I'm going to have fun 'playing' with Robin.

I shouldn't be out on patrol. Father ordered me, Grayson and Drake to take a break from patrol and let Batman handle this case alone. Todd is resting at the moment. The three of us disagreed. Todd said some words of his beautiful vocabulary trying to get us out on the streets. Father puts his foot down. After he left, my brothers and I formulated a plan to sneak out of the manor. Todd is on monitor duty. He'll make up an excuse to Pennyworth if he noticed we're gone.

I separated from Nightwing and Red Robin. Which is a bad Idea because I can't shake off the feeling of someone following me.

I landed on a roof in a crouching position. I was about to use my grapple when I heard silent footsteps. My instincts are right. Someone is following me.

"Show yourself!". I shouted, Birdarangs at hand. I felt tapping on my shoulder. I turned around quickly, but the stranger hit me first. I staggered back. Once I recovered my vision, I looked over who attacked me. It was a girl my age (I felt so odd... Never mind). Her face covered by a black hood. She had 2 blades strapped on her back. She wore black all over. Except for her belt, gloves and boots. They are red.

I stand up. I charged at her. She caught me in an inescapable body lock. She ran a knife on my cheek lightly.

"Are you supposed to be with daddy bats, Robin? She said tauntingly. Her voice reminded me a little of Todd's sarcastic remarks.

"Who are you?". I growled while struggling to get out of her firm grip.

"Sorry, can't tell ya. It's an honor to meet you, bird brain. If you want to be friends with me, you can call me Renegade".

I found an opening in her grasp. I escaped her grip, then I sent a kick to her head. She ducked to avoid it. It happened too fast. I found my wrists pinned to the roof floor and laying on my back. Her fighting style can put me to shame. I growled at the thought.

"You know what Robbie? I really want to beat you severely but I'm wondering what will your mommy Talia will do to me. And guess what? I don't care". She said in a mocking tone. "Trust me, you do not want to end up like big red riding helmet".

I was shocked and angry at the same time. How could she know my mother?

With all my might, I managed to get her off me, she landed with precision.

Luckily, father arrived along with Grayson and Drake. Renegade threw a smoke pellet. She disappeared on the spot. Her voice echoed through the darkness. "Nice having a playdate with you, Damian".

We are all shocked. How could she also know my name?

"Nice having a playdate with you, Damian".

You couldn't believe their faces. Priceless. I hope Red Hood will come around. I miss him already.
