Tinyplot: Hunted Demon


Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     The Nest hasn't been used in quite some time. The reason for its being set up has passed, and now his team had been incorporated into the Titans.

  Even though it's use had passed, it was never forgotten. Robin had stopped by for a quick inspection and to make sure it still had everything it needed to work. The Nest had been listed as an ancillary base, a place to network to the Batcomputer, to resupply, or even to stitch a wound. There were many of them in the city for use of the Bats for whatever they needed.

  The responsibility was shared between all to inspect and make sure every location was up to par, this one just happened to be Damian's this time. After making sure what, if anything was needed, Damian wiped the dirt from his hands as he left The Nest.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake times just happen to click at times. Tim has decided to go through the different hidey holes, and make sure none of them have been found or infested by rats or such. So right as Damian is fixing to leave Tim comes walking in, cautious once he realizes someoen else is here.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian's white lenses showed from behind his hood, the telltale mark of the technology behind his mask. It relayed information to the wearer when needed, allowed for different views, night vision, infrared, trace chemicals and the like. "Red." He comments, still walking his way out.

  Damian had been at odds lately with Tim. Inexplicably since he came back home, of course, there was also the issue with Tim's past and the sudden halt of everything that once threatened Tim as well. "What do you want?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Down the block a car slows, long enough for one or more people to slip out of the back passenger-side door and hurry over towards a different warehouse there. The car continues on its way. Nothing about the stop was particularly unusual, except for the fact no interior light came on when the car door was opened.

The figures spread out, one moving up onto the roof and pulling out a camera, aimed across the street towards the building that their quarry was sceen going in to. Or, so they think. Alerted of how difficult their target would be to tail, they've had to hang back to avoid being seen. Which means frequently losing track of him for short periods of time.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over to Damian and says "Robin." If the kid wants to use code names here, he will. "Doing the circuit making sure everything is as it should be, checking out to make sure nothing has been compromised. This is my third site this evening. You doing the same, if so we should probably split the list so we are not covering the same ground.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     "Father splits the checkups. I thought you were supposed to be the smart one?" Damian quips with a small scoff. By now he was exiting the Nest.

  His words were pointed like they used to be, before he shoved Tim out of the way of the exploding chaos crystal. "Or do you not trust I can do the job on my own?" Either way, Damian would be angered in some form or fashion.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
A camera is pointed at the pair as they stand outside of the building. A cell phone is pulled out, pulling up a file on Red Robin as the watchers manage to identify him. "We weren't expecting a second," one man clothed in dark clothing whispers to a woman watching beside him.

"We were expecting the unexpected. Or should have been. Don't embarrass yourself," she whispers back to him. She slips an earbud into her ear and orders go out.

A net slowly begins to tighten.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake sighs a bit to this and says "Yes, he splits up check up wen he orders them. I decided to start a check up run on my own. " He studies the young man and says "Robin, are you seriously this ticked off at me about not being in on the plan to see if Kestrel and I could find the set up guy?" He honestly is not sure of another reason the kid might be pissed off.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian turns sharply, performing a 180 turn like a soldier would perform an about face. "My reasons for being 'ticked off' are my own. But since you seem to be interested in knowing: it is because that you allowed yourself to compromise the identity of not only yourself, but every one of us." Again, an about face before he continues his way off, his right hand reaches to his gauntlet and calls the Redbird to him. It had been parked quite the distance away, so there was time for rebuttal. The agents keeping watch, however remain unseen and unnoticed for now.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
A small debate is given in the ear of the woman who appears to be giving orders. "I'm tired of waiting and watching. If he can keep Gotham's list of crazies from finding their base, we're not likely to have any better luck. And we don't even know if the bitch is there. It's time for action. Begin moving in," the woman says into her comms.

If she can pull this off, higher ups will take notice. Surely.

A mini-van begins approaching from the south, while a sedan pulls in from the east. A pickup truck turns a corner to the west, while the already deployed group is situated on the warehouse to the north. The cars are proceeding at speeds that should bring them all to the area at about the same time.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks at Damian "Oh you gotta be kidding me." He says in a shocked tone, but at the vehicles turning and coming their way. "We will talk about this later." He will call out the directions the vehicles are coming in, "We got incoming." frustrated at the younger man as he is, he turns offering back to back since the vehicles are coming in from different directions. His staff coming out into his hand.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Robin took up his sword at the sound of impending cars, their speed definitely an indicator of their intent. He stands back to back to Red Robin, holding his katana with both hands in front of him, waiting for a strike.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
As the three vehicles approach to pen them in, four figures approach on foot from the north. One has a bow, quite notably. The vehicles pull up and two people get out of the sedan and pickup each, while three get out of the mini-van. Making 11 people in all that move in nearer, spreading out into a ring around the two masked figures. They are wearing dark clothing and each has something covering the lower half of their face. There are a few more weapons visible, including swords and two more bows. No visible guns though.

One of the four from the north is a woman. "We're here for the Demon's Daughter. We know how she's betrayed you in the past. But we also know it's likely she fled to you. She hasn't shown up in Arkham yet. Have you given her the death she deserves for her continual betrayals of you?" the woman asks towards the pair of young men.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will hide his own reaction, not wishing to give anything away. He will calmly count of the men on his side, and their weapons as they are walking up. He sighs softly, and waits for Damian's reaction. He may not be the biggest fan of Talia, but the Ox blood soup was decent, and she is important to Damian and Bruce it seems. He lets the younger man speak for them.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian's eyes glower a bit as he is asked about the Demon's Daughter. "I have not seen my mother in three years. And if I had, I would have taken her myself." It was a lie, but he'd been trained in many ways of deception.

  "You dare defy the will of the Demon to kill his daughter?" He asks, now curious as to why these Assassins want Talia dead.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The woman's eyes study Robin in particular, though also flit to Red Robin as if to see if he gives anything away on what he hears from Robin. "We don't answer to him," she says, the words more matter of fact than defiant. Though a little of the latter too.

"And she's shown enough weakness, it wouldn't surprise me if he's done with her anyway," the woman says. She begins walking a circle around the two young men, as do the whole group. Changing up their angles constantly, and slowly the circle starts to draw closer to the two caped heroes. "We know she came to Gotham. I can't believe you don't at least know that. So you'd have either taken her in or hunted her. Since you say you didn't hunt her, I guess I know where I'm placing my bet then," she says.

Swords are drawn by five of the men, and the three bows have arrows notched. The other 3 people have staffs, including the woman. "Last chance. Give her up and we'll give her a fitting end," she says. Her men's body language suggests they are poised to attack.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake feels the change in the smaller man's movements and knows what is coming. He will spin the bo staff in one hand, but is using it as a distraction. His other hand throwing batarangs at the bowmen on his side. His target not the men but their bows. When the batarangs have left his hand. He strikes out towards the nearest man, as his staff whistles in the movement.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     "I do not give a damn what you do or do not believe. You know who I am. You threaten me and I will personally escort you to hell." Damian springs into action, jumping to strike the woman pacing around the two. His strikes are aimed carefully, he knows assassins such as these do not care if they live or die, which makes this situation worse. He cannot use that fear against them.

  Robin keeps defensive, using his sword to strike at bowstrings, to render them useless.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Batarangs whistle through the air at two of the bowmen. One cuts through the string of a bow which suddenly rebounds at the release of tension. The other archer manages to get his shot off but the arrow flies off target as he was affected by the sight of the batarang coming in and chopping a chunk out of the wood of his bow, leaving it unusable.

A man with a sword flows forward to meet the swing of Tim's staff, a trio of attacks offered back and forth before Tim will see an opportunity to penetrate the man's guard. Meanwhile others are moving forward to the attack.

Robin is able to close the distance with the woman, her staff whipping up to meet his sword, sparks flying as the two metal weapons meet each other. She retreats back as Damian's skill is superior and evasion is the only thing save her a slice out of her side, giving Damian a chance to turn on the remaining bowman. He gets off an arrow towards the younger Wayne but then scrambles backwards falling on his ass as Damian turns the bow into kindling.

The fight has only begun, but some of the fighting style they have seen is not what they would expect from League of Assassins members. Though some of it, a swordsman facing Tim, is.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will take the opening driving his staff in towards the man's head, but Red Robin is going for incapacitation. He may not have league training, but he was taught by both Batman and Lady Shiva, as well as a few others. Tim does move to use the man, who has taken the bonk to the head as cover for a moment, as he pulls something from his belt, subvocaling to Damian "Heat flash, on your 8 in 5..4...3..2..1.." and with that a flash pellet is thrown to the ground designed to blank out both light based and heat based vision enhancement devices.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     As Tim starts counting down, Damian closes his eyes. He didn't need them to fight. The arrow that was loosed by the bowman collides with the armor under his red and gold tunic, sticking out from it. It caught in a seam, and the arrowhead is sticking into the side of Damian's chest.

  Damian reacts with a fervor that hasn't been seen since before he was in the League. The bowman that fell on his ass is approached and Damian lifts a boot to kneecap that specific bowman.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The bowman screams in pain as his knee is ruined. A pair of swordsmen leap forward at Damian only to give their own cries as the flash goes off, blinding them momentarily and causing them to drop their guard slightly.

All around the circle the assailants are hampered and disoriented by the flash. One swings a sword, missing Tim but scoring the back of one of his allies.

Two of their enemies managed to avoid the temporary blindness, they press forward, one with staff going after Tim, another with a sword closing in on Damian but starting from further away, giving him more time to act.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will kick his cover at the staff man who is coming towards him. He uses the blindness and the man in front of him as cover throwing out something else. Yes Tim believes in wonderous toys. Little trackers are sent flying towards the vehicles, to track them later. Then he is blocking an attack with an armored forearm as he gave his opponent a bit of an opening with his last toss.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian removes a set of bolas from his belt, swinging them fast in his hand before he releases them towards the legs of the oncoming swordsman. His focus is on the woman leader of the group now, once she is found, Damian gives chase.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The fighting skills of Damian and Tim are making themselves felt, with Tim's gadgets putting them decidedly on top. Though the attackers had known to expect them to be skilled, they obviously thought eleven on two was enough of an advantage.

As Damian takes down another man with his bola, and Tim causes the two men to stumble and tumble to the ground, the odds are looking worse and worse. Two of the men break and retreat. That just starts the process of the rats deserting ship as one after another break off the fight and they rush back to the vehicles.

"Bastards, get back here!" the woman says but then she's dodging slashes of Damian's sword, whirling her staff for her life to keep up with his attacks. Soon she's the only one left, her men not waiting for her as they pull off in the vehicles.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will head around the woman flanking her, so if she is not paying attention she will back into his chest. He is prepared for her to try to grab him and use him as a shield and moves to keep her from it. He does not attack her though, just trying to halt or slow her movement for Damian.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     As Red Robin runs around the woman to slow her down, Damian jumps up in the air, sticking out his boot to collide with the woman. This was his opportunity to incapacitate her and eventually interrogate her.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The woman is worried about Tim, trying to keep him from flanking her but he manages to get on the other side of her, the woman swinging her staff to try to force him back. But it is the opening that Damian needed and his jumping kick takes the woman hard, spinning her body around and knocking her to the ground. There is a metallic clatter as her staff is knocked from her hand. She's dazed enough she can be secured before she'll be able to stop them.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will move to the staff, examining a moment before picking it up. He has seen enough booby trapped weapons he is cautious. He looks over to Damian "Who do you think they are?"

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian approached with sturdier cuffs than the usual zip ties they would use with thugs. He clasps those restraints on the woman and answers Tim. "An offshoot of the League. Obviously not as trained. Probably dropouts with an agenda." He comments as he finishes up. "Mother called them Leviathan."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and nods his head a bit and says "I got trackers on a couple of their cars, the others seem more goons, they maybe dumb enough to take them back to their head quarters. I am tracking them now." He motions to his wrist computer.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The woman clears her head, glaring at the cuffs that are locked onto her wrists. "Why not just turn her over to us? We'll reward you, Damian. Or just kill her yourself and show us proof. You know she's worked against your father all of these years. You cannot trust a single thing she tells you," she says with a sneer.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian gets right in the woman's face before he answers, lifting her with his hands grasping her garb. "Because I am better than her, and you. If anyone has the right to end her life, it will be me."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will wait letting the other handle the woman. He does smile a bit at the younger man does seem to be doing better with the do not kill, maiming maybe they need to work on some but hey progress.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The woman looks back at Damian, likely figuring she's dead already and so she might as well handle herself well before it happens. "Just remember. When you find out she's betraying you, yet again. Remember you were warned, and had your chance," she says.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     "I can handle her." Damian peers into the woman's eyes before he asks. "Where is Bane?" He demands, those bright white eyelets peering at her.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake time keeps monitoring the trackers, and listening to the interigation "We want to move this up to a more private spot?" He motions towards a roof.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
The woman's surprise is so complete that if it is an acting job, she's phenomenally skilled. "Bane?" she asks in surprise. Her shoulders shrug. "What does he have to do with this. Has Talia recruited him to try to help her? He won't be enough if so," she says.

Tim gets a location on where the cars are going.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Robin dismisses the idea of moving. But, Damian's eyes go wide with her answer. "Then who the fuck are you?! Bane was heading Leviathan." His eyebrows furrow quite hard as he retorts. What the hell is going on here?

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will mark the address, and looks to Damian "You got this?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
This time the woman's surprise is only brief. She breaks out in laughter. "Is that what she has you believing?" She laughs some more. "That's wonderful. Your mother was heading Leviathan. She's the one who built who us. Bane is part of the League. I guess he made a good scapegoat, though why she wouldn't point you to... well I think I've said enough," she says, falling silent.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian scowls before he drops the woman to the ground. "No, I do not." He answers Tim, calling the Redbird to him from the outskirts of the battle, jumping on it before the whine of the electric motor scream as he peels out and heads back to base. He's got a bone to pick with his mother. And an arrow to extract from his torso.
