Chapter Seven-

"Just to clarify things, 당신 do all the fighting and stunts, I'll hack the computers." Sarah said.

"And?" Sam asked, knowing there was an 'and' coming.

"And I'm not wearing this God-awful costume again!" Sarah said.

Her costume was quite plain. A silver, sleepless 상단, 맨 위로 and a matching bottom that went to her knees. A flaming bird was on her chest and 더 많이 flames near her utility belt. This time her name was Phoenix.

"I don't know," Sam said, smirking under his mask. "I think it looks good."

"Shut up." Sarah said, scowling at him. "Let's get this over with."

Sam pulled a dagger out of his utility belt. He picked the lock on the door and slowly opened it. 

There were three men inside, all sitting at computers eating 도넛 and watching football games.

"I'll take them out, 당신 follow." Sam said.

Sarah nodded and the male vigilante slipped inside into the shadows.

A moment later, three tranquilizer darts hit the three guards. They fell to the ground silently.

Revenge emerged from the shadows and tossed the gun down with disgust.

"Not my style." he said.

Sarah picked it up and slid it into her utility belt. When Sam looked at her, she said something about needing protection, and not his type.

The two proceeded across the room and into the elevator. A group of guards were inside.

"Going down?" Revenge asked, stepping inside with Sarah.

The elevator arrived in the basement. Revenge tossed the guards out and hit a button on the elevator.

A moment later, the duo stepped out of the elevator and into a luxurious office.

The office had dark green wooly carpet. The black walls were decorated with pictures of 프렌즈 and family, the first dollar, and a few other items. The 책상, 데스크 was a dark, 단풍, 메이플 brown and a plush, leather chair was behind it. A high-dollar computer and neat stacks of paper sat on the 책상, 데스크 while statues decorated the room.

"This looks like the spot." Sarah said, admiring the workspace.

"Just get the files." Revenge said, pulling a dagger out of his belt.

;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

When 호랑 가시 나무, 홀리 woke up, it was sometime around nine. She groaned and rolled over, forgetting for a moment the events of the 이전 day.

She stood up, wary of her ankle and walked over to the closet. She grabbed her uniform and laid it out on the bed. There was no longer a reason to be 호랑 가시 나무, 홀리 Green. She was stuck being Courage.

호랑 가시 나무, 홀리 showered and got dressed before heading up to the roof. She shot a line across the 거리 and swung over. 

호랑 가시 나무, 홀리 jumped to the 다음 building somersaulting over a crate.

Her thoughts wondered. They strayed from where Artemis could be to how she was ever going to kill Luthor now. Mostly though, she wondered whether to see if she could contact Sam 또는 not. She doubted the League would be happy, 또는 that Sam could do anything anyway.

And why ruin his perfectly good day?

;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

"Down!" Revenge yelled, tackling Sarah to the floor as bullets swept the area she had been sitting at before.

Revenge climbed off of her and threw a few daggers that embedded themselves in the wall.

"You gonna have to do better than that, kid!" one of the guards yelled in a deep accent.

Revenge pushed a button on his 벨트 and a 담홍색, 핑크 구름, 클라우드 of smoke emerged from the daggers. The guards coughed and collapsed.

"Get back to work!" Revenge said, slamming the door closed.

Sarah nodded and resumed her typing on the computer. Revenge walked over to the door and pulled out six daggers from a hidden compartment in his cape. He stabbed them into the doorframe. 

"Done." Sarah said, pulling a USB drive out and sticking it into her utility belt.

"Let's go." Revenge said. 

The two teens headed for the door, but guards swarmed the hallway.

"To think I drove all the way to Gotham for this." Revenge said, hitting the trigger again.

A red laser field opened around the door. The guards stopped. One cautiously poked his weapon into the field and flew twenty feet backwards.

"What-?" Sarah asked.

"Electric field. They aren't getting through." Revenge replied.

He turned around and busted a window out. Revenge shot a grappling line across the parking lot to another building.

"Come on." he said.

Sarah looked between the guards who were struggling to get in, and Revenge.

"I thought we agreed 당신 would do all the stunts." Sarah said.

"I didn't plan on getting caught."

"I've got a fear of heights."

"Do 당신 have a fear of going to jail for the rest of your life?"

Sarah hesitated and bit her lip before walking over to Revenge.

The vigilante wrapped his arm around the girl before jumping.

Sarah squealed and grabbed Revenge tightly.

The two landed on the ground and ran toward their bikes.

"Stop them!" a guard yelled. Bullets sprayed at the two teens. 

Revenge cranked up his bike and sped away at 상단, 맨 위로 speed, Sarah right behind him.

"This had better be worth it." Revenge said.

"I don't know why clockmakers would hire an assassin, but if they did, the information is on here." Sarah said, showing Revenge the USB drive.

"Mom, I'm home!" Sam called out.

Sam's mother stuck her head out of the kitchen.

"It's about time to." she said. "It's almost midnight."

"Sorry," Sam said, tossing his book bag on his bed. "I had some extra stuff to do for school."

"Well your 음식 is in the pan and the microwave works."

"Thanks." Sam said, walking into the kitchen.

"Oh, honey?" his mother called out.

"Yeah, mom?" Sam replied.

"I'll be gone most of tomorrow. I'm signing a big deal with Freeman & Co."

"Freeman?" Sam asked carelessly. "Isn't he dead?"

His mother looked at him funny. "Yes, he is. How did 당신 know?"

"School." Sam said. "You know, news gets around quicker 의해 mouth."

Sam's mother looked at him for a moment before heading to bed.

"Don't stay up too late!" Sam's mother said.

"I won't." Sam replied.

His phone rang, startling him. He grabbed it before he attracted 더 많이 attention from his mom.

"Who in the name of calls at this time at night?" he asked.

His 질문 was answered 의해 the name on the phone.

"Ever heard of sleep, Sarah?" he asked.

"Ever heard of 'hello'?" Sarah replied.

"What is it?" Sam asked, heading back to the kitchen.

"I've located Reaper's 다음 target."

"How?"

"Doesn't matter. What matters is Reaper isn't going to attack until tomorrow night." Sarah said.

"How'd 당신 find out?" Sam asked.

"I pulled a few strings." Sarah said. Before Sam could reply to that, she hung up on him.

"Yeah, nice talking to 당신 too." he muttered before taking another bite of his supper.
