Life in the Batfamily

Chapter 9

CLANG! Emily used all her might to push the talon away with the sword she stole from one of them. Emily spun the sword around, knocking the sword out of her opponent's hand. As soon as the sword hit the ground, Emily stabbed her sword into the talon's chest. "Dick, we need to get out of here!" Emily yelled to her brother. "I know that!" Dick said while fighting off a talon. Dick knocked the talon away and ran towards the door their relatives had come from. "Emily, this way!" he yelled to his sister. Emily pulled out a smoke bomb she kept in her bag, and threw it to the ground in front of the talons. As the smoke filled the room, the two ran through the door, breaking the handle on their side. It didn't take long for them to enter the labyrinth. "I remember there being a fountain near here. We can hide out there and try to come up with a plan" Emily stated. Once, they reached the fountain, the two ducked behind the far side of it, away from the courtroom. Dick looked down at the stab wound he had gotten from a talon, wanting to see how bad the wound was. "Uh, Emily" he said tapping her on the shoulder repeatedly. "What's the matter now? I'm trying to make sure we-" Emily said trying to keep watch. Both of them stared in shock, seeing that Dick's wound had disappeared. There was no scar showing the quite recent injury he had received. "How is this possible?" Dick asked staring at the blood staining his hand from when he attempted to stop the bleeding. "The talons. They are able to get up from anything. What if they have a regenerative ability? And since we were suppose to become talons, we must have that ability already inside of us. I don't know why it would start working now. Maybe because, the court has finally resurfaced." Emily rambled. "We'll worry about that later. First things first we need to get out of here." Dick said. She took a deep breath and nodded telling her brother that she was ready.

The heroes walked through a sewer hoping to find an entrance to the courtroom. "Where are we going? Because, I can't take walking in a sewer much longer" Beast boy complained. "I can get us inside. I just need to make sure that I can sense them" Raven explained for the tenth time. Raven stopped for a moment, her eyes glowing white. The white light grew brighter, smoke surrounded everyone and all of them disappeared from the sewer. They were now in a marble maze with a giant owl fountain looming in front of them. "This must be the labyrinth the guards led us through." Tim said while examining the extravagant maze the villains had made. "Yes it is. Admire it all you want, but that will not change anything." A voice exclaimed from behind the group. Standing there were the two guards from earlier. "Where are Nightwing and Nightclaw?!" Batman demanded. "Ah yes. Batman. Or should I say Bruce Wayne." the guard on the left said. The two drew their weapons staring solely at the bat family. "The court has sentenced you to death." the two said in unison.
