Batman looked around, "We still need to figure out where you'll be staying Omen."

"You could have me sleep in a tree for all I care." They all tried to figure out where Omen was but his voice echoed so much that they couldn't figure out where he was.

Batman mentally sighed, "Will you at least come back so we can see you?"

Omen hummed, "Fine." He make the lights flicker and he appeared right where he had been before he disappeared.

Aqualad sighed, "I'd still like to know how you do that."

"Not telling, it ruins the trick if I do."

Batman mentally sighed, "Is there anywhere that you would like to stay?"

Omen gave him a look that said 'did you seriously just ask that?' and he crossed his arms. Just the way he was standing had so much sass that it was ridiculous, "The only place I could possible go to is the facility." A chorus on 'No!' rang out in the room and Omen had to stop himself from laughing.

"I didn't say I'd actually go to the facility, I just said that was the only place I could go to."

Everyone calmed down and Batman spoke again, "You could stay at the mountain."

Omen shook his head, "They'd find out about the mountain, they'll find out if I'm here and they'd attack if I stayed here."

Batman thought for a moment, "If a Leaguer is willing to take you in you can stay with them. Of course that'll mean revealing their secret identity so that might not be an option either."

Omen raised an eyebrow, "You do realize that I know all of your secret identities right? I even know your Bats, it's not that hard to put together if you know what you're doing." Everyone looked shocked and Omen smirked, "I haven't told anyone if that's what you're worried about. I keep secrets from everyone and I definitely wouldn't tell them or anyone I worked for, I'm not that kind of assassin."

Batman was starting to see that he had underestimated Omen, he was smarter and stronger then he looked. Batman mentally sighed, "How long have you known?"

"I've known the Leaguers identities for two years now, I found out the teams identities the day I first snuck in here. I looked them up before I came to the mountain, know your enemy and all that."

Batman was seriously questioning everything he thought he knew because of this kid. "Can you think of somewhere that you might be able to hide?"

Omen nodded, "Several, I had a plan for when I escaped, it's a bit sad that I didn't get to use my plan."

Batman raised an eyebrow, "Why didn't you just escape sooner?"

"I had to make sure my friend was out of harm's way, I didn't get to do that so I've got to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get hurt."

"We can help protect your friend you know, if you tell us who they are we can help."

Omen shook his head, "I don't need help protecting them, I already told you that they might not remember me. If I talk to them again I don't want to freak them out and tell them that those psychos are after them. I can handle it, I'm trained and I'm not dumb, I know what I'm doing."

Batman looked at Omen seriously, "And what if you make a mistake, your friend will get hurt."

Omen looked completely neutral, "Don't underestimate me, a lot of people have made that mistake and they all regretted it." Omen's eyes flashed because of the anger he was feeling, he wasn't mad at the heroes though, he was mad at himself. Omen made the lights flicker and he disappeared, many of them sighed before they walked away.
