Inside of the abandoned LexCorp complex...

They would've noticed that I hadn't escaped with them, so I imagine leaving this place got a whole lot harder, Dick thought, crawling through the ventilation system.  There she is!  Primed with everything I need.  Only two Assassins guarding my baby!  This is going to be a piece of cake.

Dick kicked down the grate preventing his passage to the Nightbird and dropped down silently.

"This is your master, Ra's al Ghul.  It appears we have two escapees.  I need the following units to pursue them, Unit Fourteen, Unit Seven and Unit Two," Ra's voice said through the PA.

"Sorry, I gotta go.  I'm Unit Two," apologized an Assassin, leaving to hunt down Jason and Damian.

Only one?!  Even better, Dick thought, as he sneaked up on the only Assassin guarding the Nightbird.

One Goodnight Karate Chop should suffice, Dick thought, administering the 'Goodnight Karate Chop' on the Assassin.

The Assassin crumpled after Dick's karate chop.  Dick plucked his listening device out of his Nightbird, along with a few crime-fighting tools.  He did a pull-up to enter the ventilation system again, and crawled to where he suspected was Ra's conference room.  He scanned to see if any Assassins were in the room.

Let's see, only three Assassins in here, Dick noted, kicking down the grate and leaping down to the Assassins.

"One electric Wing-ding for you," Dick said, knocking out an Assassin with an electric Wing-ding.  "And two wrist darts for you two," Dick said joyfully, aiming and delivering two headshots for each Assassin.

Dick trotted over to where the center chair was and dropped a listening device under it.

There.  Easy as pie.  What's this?

Dick picked up a flash drive, and examined it.

Could be useful.  Now all I need to do is get my baby and leave this p-

"Daniel, you're in Unit Fourteen.  Why haven't you come o- Everyone, intruder in conference room!" The Assassin bellowed into his walkie-talkie.

Dick quickly silenced the Assassin with a strong left kick and entered the ventilation system.  Once he was hoovering over the Nightbird, via ventilation system, Dick jumped down.  He then started the engine and used the knocked out Assassin's key card to unlock the LexCorp Garage.

Three miles away from LexCorp...

"Are they still following, Todd?"

Jason turned and saw three vans pursuing them.

"Yup."

"Maybe we should look for a place for cover," Damian suggested.

"This is the industrial part of Cairo.  The best cover we'll get is behind a barrel of gasoline," Jason huffed.

"There!  Convenient store.  It should not take us that long to get there," Damian panted.

"I don't think I can run anymore," Damian said, slowing down.

"All you need is the proper motivation," Jason said, trying to maintain his pace.

Bang, bang!

"Motivation congregated," Damian said, dashing for the convenient store.

Realizing Damian was trailing behind, Jason slowed down, picked up Damian and sprinted for the door.  Once he reached the door, he smashed the glass, unlocked the door and let himself in.
