While serving his life sentence, Marcus Thorne, better known as the Arkham Knight is visited by the last person he ever expected to see, Blonde Blazer. At first, he thought she was there to gloat about finally brining him in. But, when she offers Marcus an alternative means to serve out his life sentence, he's left both intrigued and confused. That's when she told him about the Phoenix Program, an experiment that seeks to turn villains into heroes. Marcus found it laughable to say the least, but if joining the program meant he got his freedom back, he wasn't going to complain.

Book 2 of the 'Demigod in Gotham' Series When Nico moved to Gotham, all he wanted was to do good. He never asked to be adopted by Bruce Wayne. He never asked for Slade to come after him. He never asked to die. And more than anything else, he never asked to be revived. ---------- "I excused what you did with Slade, but you cannot continue to break rules and put yourself at risk-" Nico laughed. "Excused? You excused it?" Nightwing approached the table, probably knowing where this was going. "Demo-" The demigod ignored his brother. "Slade wanted to sell my people as slaves. Not only did he deserve to die, but he needed to." Bruce stood up, his hands on the table. "Slade's death was not your call and I respected that-" "No, you were forced to accept it because you couldn't stop me. You wanted me to spare him, just like every single one of your sons have up until that point, but how did that work out? When did Slade ever face justice for all the things he had done after they spared him? He deserved to die for everything he had done!" "It is not our place-" "Then thank f*ck that it actually was my place to do what you never could!" Bruce clenched his jaw. They stared at each other for a long moment before Bruce finally said, "We fight for justice, not vengeance. If you allow yourself to sink down to that place, you may never come back. It will kill you if you keep on fighting to avenge things that have not even happened yet" Nico stared at his father, the rage that had been boiling underneath his skin every second since he had woken up back in November began to break through the surface. He took off his domino mask and tossed it onto the table, making sure that Bruce had to look at his eyes-- the ones that no longer resembled the fourteen year old that Bruce had once asked to join his family. "Good thing I already died then." --------- daily updates @ 12:15 am EST (starting April 8th )

The new student of the Mystic Arts didn't really stand out much, except that he seemed to have a certain talent for magic. Wong was certainly very pleased to have a student who was willing to learn. Keeping a secret, to be special for once instead of a nuisance, suited him well. Having friends, too. Elsewhere in the world, a desperate boy with no memory was picked up by a few heroes and racked his brains to understand what no one could or would give him answers to.
