Renegade

Failed

|Song: As We Fall by League of Legends|

"What the f-" Artemis said with wide eyes. She couldn't believe the view.

"He is just a kid." Black Canary said.

There was a moment of silence. Everyone was trying to process this new information.

Even Batman was silent. He was shocked. He knew this kid. Dick Grayson. His failure. The night Dick's parents died, he was there, but the kid got kidnapped. He dissappointed both Dick and his parents that night.

"How old are you kid?" Superman managed to ask finally.

Renegade's mask was off but his hood was still on.

"This was unexpected for you I guess." He said and looked at the caped crusader's expression, he started cackling again.

When his cackling was over, there was even a deeper silence.

"14." He said suddenly in a quite voice.

"You're 14?" Wonder Woman stated more than asking.

"Batman can we talk for a second?" Wonder Woman asked.

Batman didn't move. He had to learn who did this to this kid. He needed to learn who trained him.

"I am sorry kid." He said and whispered something to Wonder Woman.

Suddenly the lasso of truth was around Renegade's weist.

"Who trained you?" Batman asked again but there wasn't an answer.

Instead, Renegade got up quickly. That's when the heroes realised he has gotten free of the chains.

He kicked the hand of Wonder Woman and broke free from the lasso.

Superman charged at him but Renegade did a flip and dodged his attack. However, it was in vane because all the heroes watching from outside was now inside the room.

Renegade looked at the heroes and realised that he no longer had his hood on. It fell with the effect of the flip.

"Shit." Renegade said when he realised that Batman was looking at his eyes directly.

He heard Batman gasp.

"Wow. I made Batman gasp. Please write that on my tomb stone. Here lies Renegade. The son of a bitch who made Batman gasp." He said with a grin.

"You are a Talon." Batman said, looking at Renegade's half blue, half gold eyes.

"Okay, first of all, my eyes are not all gold. And secondly, would you believe if I told you that is a funny coincidence?" With that he felt a stong shock in his neck.

"Curse the electric collars." He said and fell unconciouss.

~Timeskip~

Batman went back to the cave and opened the bat-computer. He hadn't made any explanations to the League about what a Talon was and he wasn't thinking of doing one soon either.

He started searching for security cameras around the warehouse that they caught Renegade.

He finally found one with the right angle and started watching the fight between Renegade and Deathstroke.

Batman couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that the fight was two hours long.

Maybe Renegade was right. Batman thought. They did really underrastimate him.

The kid fought with the whole league AFTER a two hour fight with Deathstroke. He thought and even the thought made him shiver.

Who was this kid? And most importantly, what was he supposed to do with him?

Alfred came in with a cup of coffee.

"Long night Master Bruce?" He asked putting the cup on the table next to Bruce.

"Yeah. Thanks Alfred." Bruce said and continued watching the video.

Alfred looked at the video and remembered the figure on it.

"So did you catch the assassin that hacked the cave's systems?" He asked.

"Yes." Bruce said in a sad tone.

"Well, shouldn't you be celebrating then?" He asked.

"I know him Alfred. His name is Dick Grayson and I failed him. He is just a kid. He is only 14. FOURTEEN!" Bruce shouted.

"Oh my God." Alfred said and sat down, looking at the screen showing the young assassin fight.

"Isn't that Deathstroke?" Alfred asked.

"Yes. He is."

Now Alfred was sad about the kid but he was also impressed. He knew even Master Bruce was having a hard time when facing Deathstroke and the kid seemed to be doing a very good job against the mercinary.

"He's a Talon." Bruce finally said.

Alfred didn't speak, neither did Bruce. The silence was the perfect way to describe their emotions.

~Timeskip~

When Renegade woke up, he saw that he was still in the stupid interrogation room.

"Perfect..." He muttered to himself.

Then he heard some shoutings coming from outside the room but they were far away. Even Renegade couldn't understand what they were saying. Then the door opened.

"You're awake." Batman said and stepped in.

"No shit Sherlock." Renegade said.

Batman just rolled his eyes and continued.

"Red Arrow says that you have saved his life. Back at the warehouse."

"Did I? Haven't noticed."

Batman got closer to Renegade and saw his half blue half gold eyes again. However, his eyes weren't the only things remarkable in his face. He had many scars and purple spots too. The most visible and deep scar started from under his left eye and reached to his lip. His veins in his neck was turning into a different shade of blue as it went down.

"Renegade, I am trying to help you." Batman said.

"Why? We made a deal, didn't we? I took my mask off and you are going to send me to Belle Reve. End of the line. Finito!" Renegade said in an annoyed voice.

Superman got inside the room.

"Batman can we talk for a minute?" He said and they both got out.

"Oh yeah sure. I'll wait. Got nothing better to do anyways." Renegade shouted behind them.

They got far away from the interrogation room so that Renegade couldn't hear them.

"Bruce the kid is right. We can't just keep him here forever. You made a deal and now we know who he is. We should send him to Belle Reve." Clark said.

"He is 14 Clark. And we still don't know who trained him." Batman said.

"What's a Talon?" Clark asked suddenly.

"What."

"I think you are acting differently because you know something we don't. And that something is Talon. So what is a Talon?" Clark asked again.

Batman sighed. If the League learned what this kid is, or what he've possibly done, they would lock him up in a high security facility like Waller kept her Suicide Squad. A kid that he failed to save. So he couldn't let that happen.

"He'll be sent to Belle Reve tomorrow morning." Batman said and got out of the room.
