Because I'm an idiot and forgot to post this. This is right after Proven and a little before Never Alone.
The Key and the Weapon
"The Weapon, please," Nightwing said. Robin pulled it out of his utility sinturon and handed it forward. "And the Key." Eclipse passed the small rectangle to the Dark Knight's former protege. He stared at the two peculiar objects in his hands, inspecting them closely. Finally, he laid them on the table, setting them beside each other. The Key shook slightly, as if struggling to move.
"Is it supposed to do that?" Batgirl asked.
"I'm not sure," Nightwing admitted. Suddenly, the Key slid to the Weapon, hitting it with a hollow clank.
"Is titanium magnetic?" Blue Beetle asked. Nightwing shook his head, "No, it is not."
The Key beeped, a blue light shooting from its end. A holographic picture appeared in the air. It showed a symbol of three interlocking circles in the form of a triangle. It rotated for a moment before fading away.
A screen materialized where the symbol had been. Words began to roll out as an automated voice spoke them aloud. "Pride for they who cherish. Death to the ones who perish. Peace and serenity for the rest. Do you accept this mission?"
"A poem?" Cassidy said.
"Yes," SilverWings sinabi at almost the exact same time. "I accept the mission."
"Affirmative," the robotic voice replied. The holographic screen and it's words deteriorated and the blue light flickered out. A click sounded from the Key. Looking closely at it, SilverWings saw a small crack had appeared near the tuktok of the rectangle.
She pulled it away from the Weapon and inspected it. Slowly, she pulled it off, exposing a metallic square.
"A flash drive," Nightwing named the object. He held out his hand and Silver willingly gave it to him. He turned to the cave's computer and plugged the Key into a port.
Immediately a blue box appeared on the screen. It grew in size until it occupied nearly the entire puwang on the monitor. Mission Accepted it read in bold letters. The word evaporated from view and was replaced sa pamamagitan ng a list. A listahan of names.
Nightwing typed on the board and the listahan scrolled down.
"Fifteen names," he informed.
"What do they mean?" Batgirl asked. The two detectives looked at each other, then back up the screen. "Good question," Nightwing said.
"Guys," SilverWings said. "You may want to see this." When the Key had been injected into the port, it had let off a signal and unlocked the takip of the Weapon. Now, the gathered group lifted the lid, revealing the contents within.
It looked like a toy water gun. Except it was shiny, defiently made of some sort of metal. Also, the transparent red fluid occupying the barrel of the gun did not look like harmless water. It was about the size of a hand-held cellphone. 14 other capsules of the clear liquid lay in the case, lined in four rows, 2 above and 2 below the gun. It was all supported sa pamamagitan ng dark packing foam.
"It's a gun," Robin stated the obvious. The eyes of the heros trailed to the screen, then back to the gun.
The silence froze as the connection between the listahan of names and the Weapon was made.
"It's a kill list," SilverWings said, cracking the ice, "The mission is to exterminate the people listed."

All I could think about was the past. Staring at my brothers body, it made it harder to forget. Fang making fart jokes at the school through our cages trying to make me laugh. Me jumping on the kama trying to wake Fang up, laughing when I "accidentally" kicked him where it counts, him shoving me off the kama and onto the floor I stood there the past drowning out the battle in the background. I felt hands on my shoulders, followed sa pamamagitan ng shaking.
"Nudge? Nudge c'mon! We've gotta go this place is gonna blow!" I didn't budge. Still Nawawala in sea of emotions I choked down a sob as tears filled my eyes.
Yeah, yeah. I know it's short

"The party, Mr. Grant." the driver said, opening the door to the limo.
Sam groaned before stepping out.
"Do I really need a limo drive to my school?" he asked aloud.
"You are a high bista sa tagiliran character." a voice sinabi beside him as holly slipped her arm through his.
"Nice." he nagkomento at her outfit.
"You think?" holly asked.
"I think it fits you perfectly." Sam said.
holly blushed.
She was dressed in a skin-tight black body-suit, which just happened to be her Nightbird costume, with a red trench amerikana behind it and a red miniskirt over her pants.
The two walked through the door into the school.
