You are X, a criminal with incredible powers, who travels through the DC Comics universe to uncover your origins.

After the death of his parents, Dick Grayson is taken in by his Uncle and trained to be a Talon. He has been training and preparing for four years of his life, and he only needs to do one thing until he can officially become a Talon. He needs to kill someone.... But he can't. So, he runs away and seeks refugee in Gotham. While there he meets some interesting people. A man, who dresses as a bat and fights crime, and a team of teenagers who also fight crime on their spare time. What will happen when he meets the team and Batman? And what will happen when they meet him?

"If you kill a killer, then the number of killers in the world remains the same..." The Dark Knight spoke grimly. Renegade smirked mischievously,"Sure, but if I kill 100 killers, then that number goes down by like 99 ya know." --- Dick Grayson was never taken in by Bruce Wayne the night of his parents murder. Instead, he was taken in by Deathstroke, the renowned mercenary. He was abused constantly as well as trained in order to become the perfect apprentice; or as better known, Renegade. What happens when Batman discovers a kid committing murders in Gotham? Surely, Batman wouldn't even let a kid break the law. Justice must be delivered and he must be taken to prison.... But then again... This kid is Dick Grayson :)

A mass serial killer, escaped from prison and missing. A city, torn apart with crime and greed. Two vigilantes- one with a line which he promises never to cross, the other who has crossed that line many times. Together, they must track down the psychopath, and find whoever is responsible for his escape...
