BLUDHAVEN (Nightwing Fan Fic)

Chapter 28 (EDITED)

~~SCARLETT~~

I grabbed the ledge pulling myself up onto the roof slowly walking towards the first sniper seeing him with the night vision in the goggles. I pulled out a tranquilizer syringe before grabbing him by his mouth and stabbing him in the neck injecting the concoction into his neck. A few moments later he slowly passed out where I lowered his body to the floor looking over to see the next target. I took off slipping through the openings before leaping off the roof catching my grip on the fire escape climbing up. I managed to take down the rest of the men before making it onto the Desmond Corporation seeing two others waiting. I slowly crept on them where I could see one of them pointing his sniper in the opening. I quickly grabbed the one sniper knocking him out quickly before I could see that the other guy was aiming straight for Dick who was taking out his final man.

"Show me those eyes bird boy?" he replied where I tapped his shoulders where he felt a tense to look behind him and saw me standing there.

"Nighty night." I smiled punching him very hard in his face knocking him to the ground unconscious just as Dick grappled his way to the roof. He came face to face with me after I punched the last sniper out cold.

"Here take this, it's so we can stay in contact with one another and with Barbara. Call her Oracle and if we need back up she will send it for us." He replied where I took the earpiece placing it into my ear, great having Dick's ex in my ear was going to bother me. "Oracle, can you get us the location where Desmond will be?"

"Based on the heat signatures I take that he is in his office, as for Doctor Gibbons I think she is in the lab a few floors below you Scarlett." Barbara explained where I tightened my grip seeing a vent near me where I opened the vent seeing a long corridor ahead of me.

"Oracle, where does this vent go to?" I asked where Dick walked over to me looking into the vent while we wait for Barbara to get back to us.

"If you take the vent there are two dividing sections, take the right section and it should lead to the laboratory. Be careful." Barbara exclaimed where I looked at Dick nodding at me,  I positioned myself onto my stomach into the vent where I felt Dick's hand on my back.

"Be careful, we don't know what traps Desmond may have planned for us...I'll go track Desmond, you try and get your mother out." Dick replied where I nodded and began to slowly crawl through the vent hoping to keep my movements silent so I wouldn't be detected. I could see a lot of men that were armed in the small cracks of the vents but oddly they couldn't see me. I came to the section where the vent sort of splits into two different areas.

"Oracle, do you have any readings? Or see anything on the cameras?" I whispered where I could feel the heat from the vent starting to blow on my face and I could feel myself sweating slightly.

"I calculate about at least five men and one has a gun pointed at another person. I'll adjust your x-ray vision on your goggles, the red are the enemies and the blue is your mother." Barbara replied where I took the path seeing my x-ray vision mood shift before returning to normal. I came to the one vent seeing my mother at the table working on what I think was the Antiserum and all she needed was my blood to complete it. I grabbed the colored syringe looking at it, squinting my eyes before placing it back into my pocket knowing it was for Desmond. I slowly crawled passed the vent seeing another one that was on the ground in the same room, I broke the vent with my new strength catching it before it would alert anyone. I crept out placing the vent against the opening before slowly hiding behind one table pulling out the last few sedative syringes and switched my goggles to x-ray mode.

"Alright let's rock and roll." I whispered taking a deep breath into my lungs before rushing over into the action.
