The Assassins

#14 The Hunt

So I am officially doing this on my Chromebook now so that I can make longer chapters. BTW tell me if you are on a phone or laptop. Let's get in!

"Jason!!!" Selina screamed as Jason was, once again, being beat with a crowbar by the Joker. "Ohhh, now that was a mother's cry. Her plea for help that she might save her son. But don't worry, I would never kill the broken bird. You, he seems to care for. So instead, I'll kill you!!!" The clown prince of crime himself cackled, moving over to Selina and Helena. The clown then pulls out a gun, shooting Helena. "NOOOOO!!!" Selina screams, limping her way to the Huntress. "You bastard." She mutters. "What was that?" "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!" Selina screams, jumping at the criminal. A gunshot is heard, and footsteps of the Joker running away. "Selina? Helena?" Jason mutters himself to consciousness, the-----" JASON!! WAKE UP!!!" Cass screams into Jay's ear, worried. "Hey, Cass! Good morning." Jason greets Cass, then realizes what day it is. 

"Jason?" Damian's voice could be heard even from the other side of the warehouse. "Hey, Ba--Red! (Damian has a new nickname)" Jason smiled, and for this day, that was rare. "One of him found us!" Rose says as the pair enters the building. "K. Let's get Dick, Kori, Tim, Steph here. Call Alfie, They need to know. And get Roy. We're gonna need him." Jason grinned, Damian following that mischievous smile with one of his own. Rose and Cass just glare, Cass knowing full well that Rose is in love with her little brother, Rose glaring because Cass glared first and Rose must always have the last laugh.

"Stop glaring! That's our thing!" Damian and Jason erupt into laughter, while Cass and Rose are just stood there, confused. After everyone got there, Alfred the cat crawled onto Damian, hissing at Steph. Titus then ran up and barked like Jason was about to kill everyone. After the pets calmed down, Alfred was called by Jay. After a few minutes of conversing, Jason dropped the phone. Everyone was confused. Except for Damian and Cass. They have seen that look before. When Selina and Helena died. Damian and Cass joined with Jason, despite his many complaints. That was when they became the Gotham Outlaws.

Damian just fell apart, Dick and Rose running to help him. "Damian, what's wrong?" Rose was worried. Dick saw his face and just fell. Both of them started balling silently. "Jason, what did Alfred say?" Steph asked, stepping on Damian's foot. "Bruce. He--h--he. God. He's dead. Batman died." Everyone fell silent, Damian getting up and looking like he was about to declare something. "No. Batman has not died. Batman lives on in each of us. We must be the heroes Father wanted us to be." Damian announced, then picking up the phone to talk with Alfred about contingency plan Red Bat. "Yes, the Gotham Outlaws. Thank you." Damian went up and whispered something to Dick, Tim, and Jason. They all nodded.

"I am now Red Bat." Damian received many gasps, but then Steph just slapped him. "No. You don't get to be the new Batman. I thi--" "Actually, I am the new Batman. Tim is King Robin, and Jason is Nightwing. And Damian? Damian is Red Bat." Dick interrupted, correcting the girl. "And who decided this?" Steph countered. "Father did. I made a contingency plan called Red Bat. Father is the one who came up with the names after I showed him the case. Jason, you might want to move." Jason moved, and just in time. 4 briefcases shot out of the wall, all landing in front of the boys. The cases. corresponded with the boys' names. Open while alone. They said.
