The assassin stayed asleep the whole time, everyone understood why he was so tired. Fighting an army of highly trained people while suffering from blood loss and a number of other things tended to make a person tired. Once they got to the watchtower they took him straight to the medical bay and laid him down on one of the beds.

They didn't know what to do about his wounds but Batman saw that they were already healing so they left them alone. The team, plus Red Arrow, stayed with Omen while their mentors went to tell the other Leaguers what was going on. You could literally hear their shouting from the medical bay, most of the Leaguers were shouting to hand Omen over to the police.

The five gave up trying to explain what happened and they went back to the medical bay. Batman sat in a chair and rubbed his eyes while the other four Leaguers did whatever they could to stay busy. They had no clue when Omen would wake up and when he did he'd have almost the entire League to deal with.

After a while almost everyone went to get food or made up an excuse to leave the room since the air was way too serious. That left Batman, Robin, Superman, and Red Arrow, the four sat in silence for several minutes. Superman sighed, "Is anyone going to bring up what happened?"

Red Arrow shrugged, "What's the point in talking about something we don't even understand. We don't know who this guy is, who those people were, why Omen was there at all, or why he helped us. The only thing we know for sure is that we're missing some major details and the only guy that can answer our questions is asleep."

Batman crossed his arms, "We also have no idea when he'll wake up."

Robin felt like hitting his head on something, "And he seemed pretty determined to go back to that place. Until we figure out what's going on we don't have much to say about it, we just have to wait." Everyone mentally sighed and after over an hour Superman left, another half hour went by before Red Arrow left.

Another two hours passed when Omen suddenly woke up and he sat up before looking around. He sighed, "Okay I must be dreaming, there's no way I'm where I think I am."

"If you think you're in the watch tower then your right." Batman said.

Omen looked at him and sighed, "God damn it, why am I here?"

Robin felt bad for his boyfriend, "You passed out so we brought you here so you could heal."

Omen sighed, "I need to leave, thanks for the help but I'll be leaving now." Omen got up to leave but the two stopped him and he raised an eyebrow, "Are we going to have to do this the hard way?" The two heroes glanced at each other before Omen sighed and made the lights flicker.

He disappeared and the door was open, Omen ran down the hallway with the two right behind him. Robin activated a comm he had in his ear, "Omen's trying to escape." Omen heard a voice answer but he couldn't make out the words as he ran, he just had to get to the zeta tubes.

Then Omen heard running footsteps ahead of him and when he was in the same room as the zeta tubes his path was blocked. The missing members of the team and the four Leaguers were blocking his path and Omen growled. Several people took a step back but they still stood their ground, Omen looked at the two behind him.

Omen didn't want to hurt anyone, especially not when his little bird was involved, but he might have to. He looked at the larger group of heroes, "I'm not letting you send me to prison, you must be batshit crazy if you think I'll go quietly."

Omen glanced at the duo and Batman looked slightly shocked, "Omen-"

"I'll escape, I'm not called the legendary assassin for nothing, I've broken in and out of prisons before. Even Belle Reve can't hold me, I'll fight you and it won't end well for any of you, I'm trained to fight multiple enemies."
