Author's Note: Hello everyone. I am back with chapter two. I am so happy to receive such positive reception for the story. Please do read and review generously. Without further ado, let us begin.

Chapter Two- The Battles Begin Anew

Opening Scene-Warehouse: Washington, DC

A man in a mask and armored costume was chained to a ceiling, captured by his enemies, covered in wounds. The men were conversing around him. The man in the mask, known as Hank Hall, could care less. If only these idiots knew what was coming for them.

"Man, who the hell is this guy supposed to be, an Eagle?"

The goons started laughing and one of them jammed a cigarette into the man's open wound and heard him scream, and promptly gained a brutal knee to the jaw, spilling blood. The other goon cocked his gun and pressed it into the masked man's face.

"The name is Hawk, dipshit."

"Never heard of you."

Before the man could fire off a shot, a voice stopped him. "Wait, I need him alive, I have to ask him a couple questions."

A man, perhaps the leader, strolled into the facility, carrying a bag which he laid out on the table, along with a small radio. He opened the bag and revealed tools used for torture and turned on the radio to soft music.

"Ah yes, music to set the mood."

"Chain his legs to the floor."

"You guys in the boy scouts, you can tie a pretty knot. Ow, fuck. You going to torture me or what?"

The ringleader pulled out a torture device that looked like a corkscrew and jammed it into the masked man's open wound.

"Ah, son of a bitch, fuck you."

"Who do you work for maggot?" The ringleader said this with serenity and total calm.

"All the people who's live you ruined because of your guns motherfucker." The masked man known as Hawk, aka Hank Hall, spat a wad of blood into the man's face.

The man removed the corkscrew-like device and went back to retrieve a pair of very sharp scissors., wiping the blood from his face. "Remove his pants. I am going to feed to him what is of value to a man."

Hank was now worried. "Ah man, we don't need to do that."

The lights went out at that precise moment, as the goons and the ringleader got worried. Suddenly, a woman in a silver bird-like costume, crashed through the window and moved at incredible speeds, slashing and hacking her way through the opposition. The goons were left with deep, bloody marks all over their faces and bodies. The ringleader made a wise decision and ran away before he ended up on the news. Hank looked at his partner and girlfriend with a smile: Dawn Granger AKA Dove. She shook her head and smiled.

"My hero."

"You should have waited for me."

"You would have said not tonight."

"Hmm, I should leave you hanging like this."

"Whatever turns you on."

Dawn smiled as she undid his chains and took him back to their apartment.

Line Break-Apartment

Hank sat in the bathtub full of Epsom salts, as he grimaced from all the pain. His body was covered in scars and wounds that had difficulty healing. He was beset with so many injuries that he lost count. He grabbed a syringe from the small table and the liquid narcotic and injected it into his leg, giving him a measure of relief. He took his pills, washing them down with beer. His girlfriend had come in, amused by his antics.

"Mmm, is this part of the anti-inflammatory recovery plan?"

"I call this a victory toast. After what we just pulled off, we deserve to celebrate a little."

"Relax, I just wanted a swig." She grabbed and drank some of his beer. "Come on."

Hank tried to get out of the tub, and went back down, holding his injured side. "It's nothing, a good night's sleep is all I need to get better."

Dawn sat down next to him. "Maybe we should skip the next one."

"Ah, that is just nerves talking."

"I never get nerves Hank." Dawn looked at him sadly.

Hank looked at her gently. "Listen, we have a solid plan. We stop this one, and then we walk away permanently from all of this."

Dawn looked at him with a hint of skepticism. "And we will, right?"

Hank nodded. "As promised. We go to Wisconsin, I get my new hip, and you nurse me back to health."

Dawn chuckled heartily. "A girl wears more than one uniform. Al right, let's get you out of there."

Hank got up, fighting the pain, and placed the towel around his body. He managed to dress himself, as Dawn went to get her favorite book. She noticed a small black box with a gold bow.

"What is this?"

"You think I was going to let today go by without comment?"

"You mean…"

"Yep, our three-and-a-half-year anniversary."

Dawn looked at the box and Hank with fondness. "You know I tied it myself."

"You are very talented."

"Thank you."

"Go ahead open it." Dawn opened the box and found a gold key in it. Hank led her to the top of the building where a wooden cage sat with small doves inside.

"It was either this or the toothpaste scraper I found online." That got him a chuckle.

"So, you were working, I thought you were just drinking."

"I was doing both."

Hank opened the door and pulled out a small dove, as Dawn delighted herself in holding it. "He's beautiful."

"You know, fun fact, they mate for life." Dawn looked at as he said this.

"These have been the best three-and-a-half years of my life." Dawn looked at him with love and kissed him. She led him to their bed, and despite his injuries, Hank was able to perform very well, as they kissed each other all over, and he made her scream his name over and over. Once they were fully sated, she wrapped a blanket over her body and held him close to her, kissing his hair as they both fell asleep.

Hours later, she woke up and got dressed, as she went to the medicine cabinet to take out some pills. She placed them on a table and looked at a picture on the table. It was her and Hank, Dick and Donna, and the joker who kept them all together, Naruto. It was a much happier time. She couldn't help but get lost in the past.

Flashback-Four Years Ago

It was an Alley in Gotham where Dawn and Hawk were battling gangbangers and drug dealers. They were easily beating and breaking these thugs down, as blood was flying all over the alley. Soon, Robin joined them, and the trio managed to cap of a good night.

"You are late boy wonder." Hank remarked.

Dawn decided to smooth things over. "Relax, you know he likes to make a dramatic entrance."

"Yeah, something like that."

"I thought your boss told you to stay away from us."

"I didn't tell him."

"You miss hanging out with the bad kids, huh?"

Hank gave him a pat on the shoulder as he left. "Yeah, something like that." He looked at Dawn who gave him a small smile.

Flashback End

"You okay?"

Dawn was shaken out of her musings as Hank walked up behind her. "Yeah, it is just a headache."

He noticed the picture that she was looking at. "I miss them too my love. After that day though, things went to hell."

Dawn sighed. "I know, but it is not like Naruto to walk away from everybody, from family."

"He needs to heal, like we all do. I can't believe I am saying this, but I felt a little sorry for Deathstroke. He did not just lose that fight, Naruto put the world on notice that night. When he wants to be found, when he wants to come back, he will. Till then, we can only wait."

The two of them embraced one another, as they fell back into bed.

Line Break- Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Rachel and Dick found themselves at a diner in Ohio. The two of them sat quietly staring off into the distance. Dick had ordered himself coffee and decided that it was time to break the ice.

"You want some cocoa?"

"I will have coffee."

"You want marshmallows with the coffee."

"I am not a kid". Raven said this coldly.

Dick held up his hands in a placating manner and responded gently. "Okay, coffee for the lady as well."

Dick drank his coffee while Rachel stared at hers. "My mother never wanted me to drink coffee." She grabbed the shaker for the sugar and poured a generous amount which made Dick smirk.

"Huh, you have a sweet tooth, that is nice to know." As Rachel was drinking her coffee, Dick decided to prod further.

"Rachel, has anything happened like what happened before?"

"No, not like that. I never meant to kill that guy, it just happened."

"How did you kill that guy? Apart from a friend that I know, you are the only one so far that I have seen who can do the extraordinary."

Rachel simply looked ahead and focused her gaze on a napkin dispenser, thinking she would see her reflection change, except it did not. Dick noticed her staring at napkin dispenser a bit too hard.

"We are going to see some friends of mine. We need a place to lay low and figure out this mess. They are good people and we will be safe there."

"If I could, I would take you to him."

"Him?"

"Let's just say that the person I wished to take you to could do things you could only dream of. Let's just say that he has a burden of his own that he dealt with for a long time, so he can understand what you are going through right now. Alas, he knows how to disappear well. I hope you can meet him one day."

Rachel's curiosity was piqued now; she wanted to meet this man and find out what him so special. However, she simply stared outside the windows of the diner.

"Hey, I know you are scared. Sometimes, there is no time to be scared. You need to face things head on. I will not let anything happen to you, I promise."

Rachel simply smiled at him. "We all have to go someplace right?" The two of them drank their coffee in peace.

Line Break- Morgue, Michigan

Amy was at the morgue, now looking at the body of the man who kidnapped Rachel Roth. The doctor named Charlie was explaining everything to her.

"His organs burst all at once, leaving him a skin bag of blood which I drained obviously."

"Obviously. Cause of Death?"

"Sonics maybe, but then his eyeballs and testicles would have burst as well. This… this is biblical Amy."

"Anything more specific?"

"What more than fucking biblical do you want Amy?"

"Charlie."

"Okay, there is this." Charlie moved the body and Amy saw a tattoo of a Raven on his back. "It is a raven, but we do not know what it all means. Send everything to me, will you Charlie."

"Sure will. Amy?"

"Yeah?"

"Be careful out there. I don't have to tell you this, but this one scares me. Plus, with a dead cop already from the warehouse, looks like something big is about to go down. First Robin, and now this? Seems like someone is out there going to war. This… this is biblical. This does not happen naturally. I know I am on a tangent, but just be careful out there."

"Aww, I am glad to see you care so much. I will do my best to be safe."

Line Break-Motel

Dick had driven himself and Rachel to a Motel on Interstate 80, where she got settled in. Sitting inside the car, he opened a special phone and made a call to a person from his past: Alfred Pennyworth.

"Hey, its me."

"It is good to hear from you Master Grayson."

"I wish it was in better circumstances. I need a favor Alfred, a onetime thing."

"How may I be of service sir?"

Dick returned to the room where they were staying, and saw Rachel happily munching on snacks and drinking soda, while watching Game of Thrones.

"Hey, I am going to get Pizza, you want some?"

"Sure."

"Anything on it?" When he did not get a response, he continued. "That's Game of Thrones. Should you be watching that?" In return he got a glare. Dick took that as his cue to leave. As he was living, he heard Rachel talk.

"Whatever you do, no pineapple."

"As if that has to be said."

Once the coast was clear, Rachel turned of the Tv, and decided to investigate Dick's belongings. She couldn't get through the first briefcase, so she decided to investigate the second one. It opened and she saw a computer built in. She decided to type her name in to the search engine to see what was going on and read a news report of the woman who raised her. Deciding to try something else, she typed Dick's name in and found a report of where he was taken in by Bruce Wayne, intriguing her greatly.

Dick was headed to the motel with the pizza when he got a call from Amy.

"This is Grayson."

"You can try to answer your phone in a decade, where the hell are you?"

"I am working a case; how can I help you?"

"Remember the girl who hit the car with a brick, she's in the wind. A uniform checked her out of the station to some abandoned building, and now he's dead."

"Is the uniform one of ours?"

"No. His badge, ID, everything is fake."

"Please forward to me everything you have on this."

"Will do."

At the motel, Rachel was watching the clip of Dick's parents dying, and it still to this day, horrified her. She stopped when she heard a noise come from the machine and two pieces of paper came out. One was information about her, and the other was a sketch of the dead guy who kidnapped her. To her horror, the face came to life for a moment before she screamed. She saw her reflection change to the same one who wanted out, and she got down on the carpet, grabbing a piece of paper and drawing crosses on it, begging for God's help.

As Dick entered the motel room, he could hear faint sobbing coming from the bathroom. He placed the pizza down and saw Rachel in the bathtub, scared out of her mind, surrounded by pictures of crosses.

"Rachel, what happened?"

"NO, no please, I don't want it to come out." She was sobbing now; Dick saw she was horrified. He gave the girl a hug and reassured her everything would be okay.

Line Break- St Louis, Missouri

Inside a home in the suburbs, a family was enjoying a normal Saturday; a mother pouring herself a cup of coffee, a father reading the newspaper, and brother and sister playing monopoly. Little did anyone know that this family had a sinister side to them. This family was known secretly as the Nuclear Family. The brother rolled the dice and smirked when he rolled well.

"Doubles."

"That's your third double." The sister stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Yeah, and?"

"So, you go directly to jail. You do not pass go and you do not collect $200."

"What, as if that is a rule."

The mother chimed in. "Actually, honey, your sister is right."

The father decided to chime in as well. "Rules are rules son."

The brother sighed, as the doorbell rang, putting everyone on high alert.

"Now who could that be this early on a Saturday?"

The doorbell began ringing with more efficiency. "All right, hold your fucking horses."

"Language darling."

"Right. Sorry kids."

The father went to the door and opened it. A man wearing a trench coat was standing there, and they both nodded at one another.

"You have been activated." The father was given a file with Rachel's picture in it. "She is more dangerous than she looks. She may be travelling with a man, a police officer. Do not hesitate. Bring her in alive."

"Have a wonderful day."

The father went back in, notifying his family that it was that time of the day again. The mother opened the pantry doors where a secret compartment was located, containing extraordinary pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals that once made up a forbidden serum that gave a mercenary named Deathstroke immense abilities and power. These pharmaceuticals had slightly been watered down, in order to ensure no lasting side effects and a horrible death. These pharmaceuticals gave the Nuclear Family immense physical abilities. After the drugs were administered, the family got ready for work.

While all this was going on, Dick and Rachel were nearing their destination. "Based of the reports from last night, the man who targeted you was apparently part of some doomsday cult. They believe it is their duty to save the world. Does that mean anything to you?"

"Well… back when I was a kid, I didn't get too angry or scared, bad things tended to happen otherwise."

"What kind of bad things?"

Rachel simply stared outside the window. "I guess… I am an orphan now too." They both stared at each other in understanding. Rachel decided to talk now.

"That billionaire… Bruce Wayne, he raised you?"

"Yes."

"It must have been cool."

"It had its moments."

"Will it ever go away?"

"What?"

"The feeling of being left behind."

"Not Entirely." Dick stated gently.

Rachel now looked at Dick with desperation. "So, you are going to leave me, right?"

Dick looked at her, and for the first time he realized what it felt like when Naruto left the Titans. He was the glue that kept them together, and then that fucking day changed everything. It was as if it was yesterday, where he could still remember those words.

"Those who abandon the mission are trash Richard, and those who abandon their friends and loved ones are worse than trash."

He was upset for Naruto leaving, but now, he realized that it was one of the most difficult decisions he had to make, just like when he had to leave Bruce; even though it was hard as hell to do so. And now there was a girl who desperately needed him, and he was damaged? Could he make that promise?

"Rachel, I won't leave you. I am damaged, but I will do my best to not leave you ever."

Line Break- Washington, District of Columbia

"So, who are these guys again?"

"Old friends. We lost touch years ago."

The knocking on the door led to it being opened by a beautiful woman with silver hair. Dawn Granger was shocked to see her former lover at her doorstep with a kid no less.

"Hi."

"Hey there stranger."

"I'm Rachel."

"Dawn."

Rachel held her hand and could see Dawn and Dick in the throes of passion, extremely happy with one another. When they broke the handshake, Rachel was left in shock and Dick took this as his signal to speak.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure. You are about four years too late, but sure."

They were on the top of the building as Rachel marveled at the doves, and Dick and Dawn were watching her from the side.

"She killed someone? She's just a kid."

"Whoever they are, they have people inside the department. We needed a safe place to regroup, figure out the next move."

"And Bruce?"

"He is no good with kids."

Dawn smiled gently at him. "A cop huh? Never would have figured that in a million years."

Dawn sat on the bench as Dick joined her. "So, how are things?"

"We are great. Hank is living the life, you know, doing what he wants."

"How bad is it?"

"Two fractures, three concussions, and a herniated disk."

"Jesus, Dawn."

"We are still good out there Dick, really good. One slip up…"

"You should think of quitting while you can."

"We both are. We are going to take out these gun runners that Hank is obsessed with, and then we will walk away. One last chance to do some good, and then we leave this life for greener pastures."

"You could help us."

"I am out of that life Dawn."

Dawn knew this was a sore subject for him, so she decided on another topic. "Have you managed to get in touch with Naruto?"

"No one can, not even Bruce. He finds you, or he lets you find him. And he would tell you the same thing."

"No… he would not."

Dick recognized that expression. "Well, he left. I never wanted him to. I hated he made that decision of leaving. Deathstroke deserved what was coming to him, and Jericho was not his fault at all. Shit just happens."

The door to the top of the building opened, and Hank came in, not so pleased to see Dick.

"What the fuck are you doing here, Dick?"

"Hank."

"I have a situation…"

"Nice little reunion you got here."

"It is not like that at all."

"Sure, looks like it!"

"Hank." Dawn pointed at Rachel listening to their conversation. "Let's go inside."

Hank was inside nursing a beer, his feet shaking a little. "I put Rachel in the spare bedroom, and Dick on the couch."

"It's like summer camp all over again. What's he doing here anyway? Hell of a coincidence him showing up the night before a job."

"Coincidences happen. Do you think I called him?"

"Did you?"

"I am with you Hank, not him. And I never will be. I will chalk it up to stress that you have forgotten that."

"Now that is here, we could use his help."

Hank bristled. "We do just fine without him."

"True, but fine is not enough for those guys. The three of us are unstoppable, like the Trinity. We can get the win you want and walk away. And you can heal; we can heal and grow old together."

Hank shook his head. "He won't help us Dawn, he only looks out for himself. People don't change my love. Naruto left us, and so did Dick."

"We will see." She said this quietly.

Rachel was inspecting her new room, as Dick brought her a blanket. "So, you and Dawn?"

"No."

"You know you can't lie to me."

"It was a long time to go."

"You hurt her."

"I never meant to. It is in the past."

"Not for her."

Dick closed his eyes for a moment and then spoke. "I loved her, but I realized I am no good for her. She is happy, and that is all that matters. Get some rest."

It was nightfall as Dick was doing his best to get some sleep. He was alerted by his special phone ringing. Opening the briefcase, it was Alfred. He went to the Federal Reserve and picked up the money he needed. He hid it in the apartment to avoid suspicion.

He turned around and saw Rachel and Dawn coming back from a shopping spree, happily talking about Game of Thrones. He was happy to see Rachel in better spirits.

"So, what did you to Rachel, you know, the sullen one?"

"I treated her like an adult, nothing special. She is a good girl"

Dick nodded at that, Rachel is a good girl.

"So, you ready to take a look at the case?"

As Dick was perusing the files, Dawn made them coffee and they talked. "His name is Bronson. He deals in small handguns, wants to corner the pre-teen market. He's got a shipment going down tonight. If we can intercept it, we break the chain."

Dick was using the "bird computer" to analyze the warehouse. "Ah, the famous computer. Wayne Enterprises Technology. What happened between you and Bruce?"

As Rachel cheered in joy at seeing Dragon in Game of Thrones, Dawn marveled at the similarities between Bruce and Dick. "I know how healing it must have been for you when Bruce took you in, but taking care of a kid is difficult, you know that."

"I am not taking her in. I am not good with this people stuff, Naruto is. You know that."

"You give yourself too little credit."

"I know things are tough around here. I Asked Alfred for help, for Rachel. It will be like killing three birds with one stone."

"Wait… you want to keep her here?"

"Just for a little while…"

"Until when?"

"You can't understand, I am no good with family…"

The computer beeped and Dick saw that the warehouse was carrying a ton of heat. "Not tonight Dawn, there are too many security contractors…"

Dawn simply grabbed his hand. "Talk to me, what is going on?"

At this moment, Hank walked through the door, and was incensed by what he saw. "Well, this is cozy."

Dawn pulled her hand off and tried to reassure Hank that nothing was going on.

"You come and go and take what you want."

"Hank."

"Don't talk to me."

Dick tried to break up the fight, and things got worse as Hank shoved him. "You want my girl is that it?"

As they were fighting, Rachel came in and unleashed her shadow as the glass shattered and the three of them were left in shock and horror. Rachel apologized and returned to the Tv.

"Jesus."

Line Break- Amy's Apartment

Amy had entered her apartment, exhausted and tired from the day's events. She placed her gun and badge on the counter and opened the fridge to pour herself a nice glass of wine and kick back a little. Before she could do so, she saw a girl huddled in the corner of her apartment crying.

"The fuck?"

She was angry with how someone got into her apartment, but with the girl crying, she decided to help her. "Sweetheart, you okay?"

The girl suddenly got up, and backhanded Amy hard before she could register anything. As she tired to get up, she was hit on the back of her legs with a baseball bat, and then stabbed in the back with scissors. She tried to reach for her gun, but to no avail. This was all happening while a boy and a girl were simply asking where Dick Grayson was with maniacal grins on their faces.

"Ah, you sneaky kids, taking all the fun." A man and a woman had entered her apartment with maniacal grins on their faces. "Don't worry love, we can still have fun."

Nuclear Mom gestured to her daughter as she lifted Amy up. Nuclear Mom pulled out her own bat and launched brutal blows to her stomach, before hitting her across the face, watching her fall. Before she could launch the finishing blow, a strange presence had entered the apartment, and a flash of bright light had occurred, and the detective and the mysterious presence were no longer in the apartment, as Nuclear Dad let out a cry of anger.

Line Break- Safe House

Hours had passed as Amy got up, looking at her wounds to see as if they never existed. She noticed her rescuer was busy eating Ramen; the smell was heavenly. She noticed a blond-haired, blue-eyed man sitting there eating, whisker marks adorning his face. He was muscled heavily, and he noticed her giving her a smile, which made her blush a tiny bit.

"It is good to see you up and about Detective."

"Not that I am grateful, but you can imagine what I went through. So, it is a little tough for me to trust right now."

"I understand completely. I would do the same thing in your shoes. I have a piece of advice for you. Forget about what you saw and heard. You will not be seeing those people again. I promise you that. They will be moving onto their next target, and I think I know what they are after."

"My partner, Dick Grayson, he is in danger."

"Yeah… I am sure of that. Listen, you seem like a wonderful person, even beautiful. Just forget about this day."

"It is a little hard to do that, I almost died. I want to know what the hell is going on."

Naruto gave her his hands to take. She hesitated before gently taking them, as he led her to the sofa. "Listen, it seems a lot of people, including yourself, have been pulled into something catastrophic. And it all has to do with the one named Rachel Roth. The people that attacked you are not normal. Using clandestine pharmaceuticals, they have unique abilities."

"You are a brave woman, it is not easy to be a cop. So, I will do something for you." He gave her a card with the name of Ted Grant on it. "He is a tough man, but he will make sure that you never go down like a victim."

Before she could say anything else, she found herself back in her apartment. A few minutes later, cops came knocking. She really had no idea what to make of this.

Line Break- Hank and Dawn's Apartment

Rachel was sitting in the spare bedroom, worried about what she did. She heard Dick knock on the door. He entered the room and sat at the side of the bed.

"Sorry. It's getting worse."

"You have nothing to be sorry for Rachel…"

Their conversation was interrupted by Dawn knocking on the door. "Hey sweetheart, you are feeling better?"

"Yeah."

"Hank is sorry. He can be a real asshole sometimes, but he is a good man. We got to go, we have that thing to take care of."

"Dawn, you should reconsider, it is dangerous."

"We win some, we lose some."

"Take care of him Rachel, he needs all the help he can get."

Rachel nodded gently. As Dawn left, she decided to talk. "Go and help her, she needs you. Isn't that what you do, help people?"

"It is not that easy anymore." Dick sighed as he pulled up a chair. "I used to think it was something I was good at. Until I realized, the more help some needed, I had to hurt others to accomplish that."

"Sometimes, when I feel the darkness come out, it feels good."

"I understand."

"You want to help them; you are just scared. Sometimes, there is no time to be scared."

"You remind me of my friend Naruto."

"Naruto?"

"Yeah. He was afraid of the darkness too. Then he conquered it. And when he did, he could do things that people could only dream of. You fear the darkness too. If you conquer it, you will gain power unlike any other."

"Will I ever meet this friend of yours?"

"I don't know… I truly don't."

Line Break- Warehouse

The sounds of broken bones and screams filled the warehouse as Hawk and Dawn made quick work of the guards.

"Dick was wrong, this was easy." Out of the van, they pulled out all the money. "Wisconsin, here we come."

Before they could leave, Hank was shot in the shoulder, as guards started filling the warehouse. Dawn shielded his body, but they were surrounded and outnumbered. The same man appeared who wanted to cut off Hank's genitals. Before he could try, those scissors wiped out his genitals, and he was thrown into a wall. The sounds of broken bones, blood spilling and splattering all over the walls, crushed eyeballs filled the room, as Dick Grayson unleashed his rage and wrath. One of the guards tried to run away and beg for mercy, Dick promptly broke his back in response. All Dawn and Hank could do was just stare in shock. Dick walked to them, covered in blood.

"You are welcome."

"Jesus, Dick."

Line Break- Apartment

Rachel was walking around the apartment, waiting for them. She found a small package, labeled for Hank and Dawn. Inside she found money and a letter. The contents left her mad, and in response she unleashed her energy, as the walls started to crack.

Hank, Dawn, and Dick found their way back to the apartment.

"You weren't kidding when you said you changed. I have never seen you act like that before."

As they entered the apartment, Dick could not see Rachel. Worried, he walked to the top of the building and saw her standing by the cage where the doves were resting.

"Rachel, you had me worried sweetheart. Is everything okay?"

"What is it?"

Rachel showed him the money and the letter, and he sighed. "You were going to leave me here. You said you would not. You love lying a lot."

"Rachel…"

"What's she talking about?"

Hank and Dawn reached the top of the building, curious about what had happened. Rachel handed them the package.

"Hank, don't read that."

"It's got my name on it."

Hank was reading the letter and was shocked himself. "Wow, you were going to leave her here, you were going to pay us?"

"It's not that simple."

"You made it simple in this letter. You were going to buy us?"

"Hank, he is trying to help."

"You knew about this? You saw what he did, fucking psychopath that he is."

Dick could not hear more and went to explain things to Rachel. "Rachel, I was going to come back."

Rachel placed her hand in his and got mad. "Liar, you are just a liar."

"Well, hello there you four."

The four of them were shaken out of their musings by a family of four people, the Nuclear Family.

"The fuck are these guys?"

The Nuclear Family sprang into action as they attacked. Dick told Rachel to find cover. The heroes were outnumbered and did their best to put up a god fight, alas, to no avail. They got in some good hits, but Nuclear Dad and Sid overpowered Dick, and kicked him off the building. Nuclear Mom overpowered Dawn, and kicked her to Nuclear Dad, as Nuclear Sis wrapped a noose around Hank's neck.

Hank screamed as Nuclear Dad threw Dawn of the roof, and he was knocked out by a bat to the head. Rachel was taken by the family, and Dick pulled himself up to the roof. Hank was slowly getting up, begging for Dawn. Dick ran down the building, to try and help Dawn up, but she was bleeding heavily. Hank joined him, and yelled in anguish, holding her in his arms, crying.

"I… I am... sorry. I am dying. Sorry, Hank. I… love you."

Dick stood there in horror, remembering the death of his parents, and how powerless he was again to do anything. However, before anything else could happen, he appeared.

Uzumaki Naruto, the Maelstrom, found them at last. Hank and Dick were shocked that their friend was standing in front of them. Dawn looked at Naruto, with a painful smile, holding out her hand for her. He held it gently and then talked.

"Hey Dawn. Tonight, it is not your time. Hold on, it will all get better."

He slammed his palm onto her head, and golden energy flowed through her body, as she gasped. They looked on as her wounds healed instantaneously. She stood up, as if nothing had happened to her, and Hank and Dick's jaws had dropped.

"It has been a long time. We need to talk."

Chapter End

Well, everyone, the second chapter is done. Please read and review generously. If you have any ideas, tips, suggestions, do not hesitate to reply. I might just focus on season 1, I may not do season 2. I know I am sticking to canon but introducing small twists to make it unique.

Also, I have some ideas to share. The next story that I am planning is a Naruto Luthor story with Kara and Grail. Just a few seasons, maybe the final opponent is Darkseid.

The next story after that will be a darker take on Supergirl season 4, maybe a bit of Injustice mixed in. Supergirl will take over the world but bring peace to it. For that story, I am planning on something crazy, Naruto and Donna Troy will both be married to Kara, all to save the world you know.

The last Idea will be after the Snyder Cut. A story involving Naruto, DCEU, Supergirl's universe.

If you have any ideas, tips, future suggestions for the above story ideas, do not hesitate to reply though review or PM. Stay safe and cherish your loved ones. I will see you all in the next chapter.
