Omen was in pain, he hated the experiments and it sucked whenever they happened. He crawled into bed and coughed a bit, he covered his mouth with his hand and when he stopped coughing there was blood on his glove. He growled and decided to go to sleep, he wanted to heal as quickly as possible so he wouldn't be in pain anymore.

When he woke up he felt better and got out of bed, then he was told that he had a job and he groaned but did as he was told. He never wanted to kill in the first place but he had to if he wanted to keep Richard safe. They'd kill Richard if he didn't kill people, that's why he started killing but he only killed criminals.

Omen made sure he had all of his weapons before he left, he got the job from a new contractor. He had to kill the leader of a drug ring, he knew about her and she was dangerous. She's hispanic, she came to America after her operation in Spain was compromised.

Omen went out to do the job, he wanted to get it over with and, maybe, see his little bird. He was tired, exhausted even, he wanted to relax and maybe take a nap, he'd like to eat but that might be out of the question. Omen made the lights flicker and appeared in front of her, she freaked out but Omen just took out his knife and slit her throat.

Omen disappeared and reappeared at the park, he sighed and sat in the tree he always did. He was tired but the thought of seeing his little bird kept him awake, he even smiled a little. When Robin showed up twenty minutes later Omen smiled a bit more before it fell again and he appeared.

Omen walked up to Robin and sat down, Robin smiled before he hugged Omen and Omen hugged him back. What Omen didn't know was that Robin had put a small tracker in his pocket, just in case. Robin told his team to put a tracker on Omen the next time they saw him but he could use this one if he had to.

They let go of each other and Omen laughed just a little, "What was that for?"

Robin huffed, "So I can't hug you for no reason?"

Omen smiled, "Good point, so how was your day, put anymore criminals in jail?"

Robin smirked, "Three, so how are you, you seem tired."

Omen rubbed his eyes, "That obvious huh? Well most of the day has been, how should I put this, not the best."

Robin raised an eyebrow, "What does that mean?"

Omen laughed a little, "It means I hate this day and I'm glad I'm sitting here instead of doing anything else."

Robin frowned, "You're not going to tell me anything are you?"

Omen smirked, "Nope, I can't tell you anything, the life of an assassin is a secretive one."

Robin hugged Omen again, "You don't have to be an assassin, we can help you."

Omen smiled sadly and hugged Robin back, "No one can help me little bird and even if they could I doubt they'd want to." Neither of them said anything for a while, they were both absorbed in their own thoughts. Neither of them wanted to let go of the other though, they just cuddled as they thought.

Omen wondered if he'd ever be able to escape, if he did he didn't know what would happen after that. He didn't know if Richard would be safe, he didn't know where he'd go either, he'd be on the run from everyone. He didn't care if he had to stay there forever, as long as Richard was safe he didn't give a damn.

Robin thought about all of the things Omen had said that alluded to the fact that something was off. Robin was missing several pieces of this puzzle, he needed to find those pieces, he had to figure it out. His plan had to work, he had to know what was going on and if this was how he had to figure it out then so be it.

Then Robin got a call from Batman, Omen couldn't hear everything but it was something about Penguin. Robin quickly kissed Omen before he ran off and Omen smirked, looks like he wasn't the one that suddenly disappeared this time. Omen shook his head and went back to the facility, he really wanted to sleep for a while.

Once Omen got back he dropped of the money and went to his cell so he could literally sleep like the dead. He fell asleep moments after his head hit the pillow and he only woke up when someone knocked on his door. It was early in the morning, the sun was barely up, probably, and Omen was forced to wake up.

Today was torture, literally, the morning started off with torture before Omen went back to his cell. He was told that he'd get called later and Omen smirked once he was inside his cell, he was definitely sneaking out. Omen left the facility and went to Mt. Justice, teleporting to the mountain was a bit harder to do when he was hurt.

Omen hacked into their updated systems, they still weren't hard to get into, and he snuck into the mountain. He found the little heroes talking to Red Arrow, he had never met him before but he had heard of him. Omen smiled, this might actually be fun, he heard them talking about him, they were wondering if he'd show up again.

Omen smirked before he laughed eerily and Artemis threw her arms in the air, "Speak of the devil."

Omen made the lights flicker and he showed up once they stopped, he didn't feel like freaking them out too much. Omen had a neutral look on his face, "Hello little heroes, looks like I stopped by at a good time."

Megan looked confused, "How'd you get in here, we updated the systems."

Omen shrugged, "It's still way too easy to get in, from what I saw a Leaguer or two might be stopping by though."

Aqualad raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Omen pretended to look surprised, "You didn't know? They installed an alert in the programming in case I hacked in again, I could have disabled it but I wanted to see what would happen."

Several seconds after Omen was done speaking several names were announced by the zeta tubes. Batman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Flash, Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern ran into the room. Omen almost laughed at how many of them there were but he decided to mess with them a little.

"Geez, you guys are either very excited or very terrified of something that I don't know about." The older heroes glared at Omen and Green Lantern tried to trap Omen in a bubble. Omen huffed and tapped the bubble with his knuckles before he shrugged, he punched the bubble with all of the power he had and it shattered.

Everyone looked shocked before Green Lantern threw his hands in the air, "I give up." He walked into the zeta tube and went back to the watch tower and Omen almost smiled.

Then Omen looked at the group of heroes, "So, the little heroes and their mentors, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Batman glared at him, "Why are you here?"

Omen rolled his eyes, "You really need to stop with the Bat glare, it just makes me want to laugh." Everyone looked a bit shocked as Omen continued, "As for why I'm here, I had some time on my hands so I came here." Martian Manhunter tried to read Omen's mind but Omen forced him out, he wouldn't find anything pleasant in there.

"Nice try Manhunter but you can't get past my mental barriers, I've spent years building those things up." Everyone was shocked and the Leaguers were all asking themselves the same question, who is this kid?

*****

Green Lantern noped the fuck out of there guys.
