Ch 12

(3rd Person POV)

Just as Deathstroke pulled the trigger, Talia quickly broke free of his hold and took the bullet talking for Damian to run. Shortly after the bullet entered Talia took one last look at her son before passing out. Damian, although shocked by his mother getting shot, quickly followed his mother's order and ran to find cover. Deathstroke continuously shot rounds from his gun as he slowly approached Damian's cover. "Deathstroke!" A voice suddenly shouted from the said man's left. Deathstroke turned his head ready to shoot when the girl suddenly disappeared and he felt a sharp kick to the back of his head.

(Emily's POV)

As soon as my feet made contact with the back of Deathstroke's head I quickly teleported behind him. Even though the kick wasn't as hard or effective against the grown man I was still exhausted from my injuries. Seeing as my reaction time was a bit off I wasn't prepared for the sudden kick to my side. I immediately fell to the ground struggling to regain my breathing. "I thought I had you locked up?" I scoffed a bit as I tried to stand. "I have a naturally low presence, it makes sneaking around easy." I answered with a slight smirk. Deathstroke didn't take too kindly to this action as he grabbed me by my scarf and quickly punched me across the face. "Keep that smirk and I'll kill you right now."

Right as Deathstroke was about to knock me out I noticed Damian run up and kick the back of Deathstroke's knee. As the man instinctively dropped to the ground I swung my fist and punched him in the face. As the man hit the ground I quickly gave Damian a smile in thanks before joining his side. Suddenly Deathstroke jumped back to his feet and shot at us both. The two of us managed to duck into cover but Deathstroke was persistent. Honestly I was beyond exhausted and I barely managed to sneak past the pesky doctors. Despite the heavy feeling in my body, my next move was to get Talia to safety. Although she gives me bad vibes I know that she means something to Bruce and she is Damian's mother.

After glancing at Damian for a small second I took a deep breath in and concentrated on teleporting. Once I opened my eyes I began teleporting towards Talia's body as fast as I possibly could. Deathstroke noticed and attempted to shoot me but I quickly pulled a batarang and threw it at the gun.

Right as the gun fell to the ground a large bat like figure soared pat me and began fighting Deathstroke. While the two began fighting the man bat creatures above awoke and began flying down at full speed. Noticing the danger, I quickly shielded Talia's body from the creatures. Every now and again I could feel a heavy force bump into me as the bats flew past trying to escape the cave. Shortly after the bats went through the elevator I glanced up to find Damian knocked out on the ground and Bruce fighting Deathstroke once more. "Robin!" I call over all the noise to hopefully wake the boy. Realizing the boy wasn't responding I quickly rested Talia's body somewhere safe and teleported over to Damian. "Rob? Robin wake up." I worriedly plead as I shook him. Not too long after, the boy slowly woke up and squinted his eyes at me. "You're awake! I got a little nervous there." I laughed in relief as I gave him a light hug. Damian didn't seem too comfortable with the situation so he sat stiffly in my hold. "This is unnecessary..." He mumbled lightly. "Well get used to Rob, there's plenty more to come!" I laughed in amusement as Damian grumbled in irritation.

The lighthearted moment was soon interrupted by the sound of Bruce walking over to Talia's body. Once he picked up the women, Damian quickly sprinted past me to stand next to his parents. I slowly stood up to my feet and and made my way over to the three of them. Talia looked pretty bad in all honesty...I don't think she is going to make it. Right as I approached the family, Deathstroke sprinted away in an attempt to escape. Of course Damian followed after him filled with pure anger. "Damian!" Bruce tried to call out to his son but his son was too blinded by his own fury to notice. "Emily!" Bruce called as he sighed in annoyance. "On it!" I shouted as I ran after the boy. My injuries were far from healed to be honest so by this point my body was beyond exhausted. I probably had two decent moves before I'm out for the count. Shrugging it off I quickly chased after Damian.

Slightly out of breath, I made it to the scene of Damian and Deathstroke fighting. Damian was using his sword to deflect Deathstroke's throwing knives but unfortunately wasn't able to avoid them all. Just as the knife hit Damian's arm, Deathstroke quickly jumped up and kicked the knife in deeper. Damian grunted In pain as he was pinned to the wall behind him. "Damian!" I shouted in worry as I began frantically trying to teleport towards the two guys. "You again?" Deathstroke mumbled as he turned around to kick me. I barely managed to dodge his foot as I teleported behind him and attempted to free Damian. "Duck!" Damian's voice shouted from above me. In a panic I quickly ducked and squeezed my eyes eyes shut. Soon after I hear Damian grunt once again. Opening my eyes I see a katana shoved into Damian's other arm. "Dami-" Before I can get the rest of his name out of my mouth I feel my scarf being pulled back.

"Now now little girl, I think it's time to put you to sleep." I felt the scarf around my neck tighten as Deathstroke pulled at the fabric and got ready to throw me over the platform. I could hardly breathe as my oxygen was cut off. I could feel Deathstroke smirk as I felt a strong force punch me across the face and drop me. I knew I would die if I didn't act fast enough but at the same time I felt so drained. "Presley!" I heard a familiar voice shout my name as something wrapped around my feet. My falling immediately ceased as the wire around my feet, quickly jolting me up a bit and to a stop. The sudden save left me a bit winded, seeing as I was so ready to give up but I shook it off as I looked up towards the bridge. Damian and Deathstroke were neck and neck once more. I had to go help Damian.

I slowly inched myself up the wire and attempted to untie myself. After about a minute I heard gunshots ringing above me. The sudden noise made me worry as I untangled my feet and began climbing the wire. By the time I managed to drag myself up to the platform I noticed a figure fly past me.
