Previously on The Red Revenge...
"Nice to meet you Artemis." Sam said, shaking her hand.
Artemis kissed him on the cheek. "You too." she said. "Thanks for the drink."
"YOU PRACTICALLY WENT ON A DATE WITH HIM!!!" Wally yelled.
"That was the mission, Wally." Robin said, smirking. "Jealous?"
"Samuel Grant was saved yet again by Red Revenge and what appears to be Green Arrow's sidekick Artemis."
"We believe the target is Red Revenge. However, the attempts on Grant's life are still a serious threat." Batman said.
A screen popped up behind Batman. "The Olympic Winners are going to a special ceremony. A ceremony hosted by Samuel Grant. The leaders from every country competing and their associates will be there. Not including crowds, media, and others who may attend such as Bruce Wayne. In all, almost two million people. It'll be hosted in Rio De Janeiro. A three day festival in the town."
"Wait, Rio De Janeiro?" Artemis asked.
"Yes," Batman replied. "In South America."
Chapter Nine- "The Start of More Troubles"
The archer's eye watched every movement carefully. The Olympic finalists were standing behind the curtain, waiting for Samuel Grant to introduce them on the stage.
Sam walked through the curtain and greeted the two million people with a beaming smile.
"Nightwing to all points. Are you in position?"
Artemis set down the binoculars and put a finger up to her radio. "Artemis, in position."
The other points checked in, Wally moaning about not being at the concession stand.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado! The finalists of the Olympic Games!"
One by one, the finalists walked onstage. Artemis recognized a few. The American and Russian were unmistakable. The German walked out slowly on to the stage with a frown dimming his features. Next came the Swedish, until finally everyone was on the stage.
Sam turned to the crowd to calm them down. A move that saved his life. The bullet missed him and impaled itself in the chest of the Russian finalist. The crowd erupted into full panic. Bodyguards instantly moved in around Sam and the remaining finalists, but the stage was chaos too.
"Artemis! Move in and protect Grant while we locate the sniper." Nightwing's voice radioed in over her comm.
"Negative." Artemis replied. "I've got the sniper in my sights."
"Batgirl, Wondergirl, get to Grant. Artemis, where is the sniper?"
At that moment, Cheshire landed in front of Artemis, blades pointed at her throat.
"Try my position." Artemis growled.
"Alright everyone, listen up. Artemis and I will take care of the assassins, Robin, you and KF take crowd control. This is essential. Get everyone out as calmly and organized as you can."
The two boys groaned, but acknowledged.
"Wondergirl, Batgirl, protect Grant at all costs."
"Already on it Nightwing!" Wondergirl responded, flying down in front of Grant. She blocked a bullet from Holly as Batgirl landed on the stage.
"Come on Mr. Grant." Batgirl said, grabbing the boy billionaire and dragging him off the stage.
Wondergirl began backing offstage to follow the female Bat, but at that moment, Artemis landed on her back, Cheshire following.
Batgirl almost ran into a group of security guards.
"Mr. Grant! There you are!" the first guard exclaimed.
"They've got it." Grant said, pulling free of Batgirl's grip. "Thanks though."
Batgirl nodded and left.
"Switch dance partners?" Wondergirl asked, blocking more bullets from Holly.
"What is it with you and dancing?" Artemis asked, turning and firing an arrow at Holly.
The assassin dodged the arrows, and the two different projectiles thrown by Nightwing and Batgirl respectively. She turned and jumped off the building, tossing her own projectiles at the two apprentices to the Dark Knight, enshrouding them in smoke.
Holly's way down would've been clear, had a certain black and red vigilante not intercepted her in midair, tossing her onto another roof.
The video paused and G. Gordon Godfrey stepped back I front of the screen.
"See? Grant glances up slightly before turning, allowing the bullet to pass by him and kill the Russian finalist. He was obviously receiving help from this so called 'Nightwing' and his 'friends'. They were more worried about Grant than stopping an international incident. Now, as I'm sure you've all seen, Russia has declared war on the United States! And this Samuel Grant and Nightwing have the guts to go to Russia to try and stop this war! When will the Justice League stop this insult to our world? When will they put aside their own super egos and actually try to help us!"
"Don't believe it Mr. Grant, it's a load of rubbish."
"I know." Sam said, continuing to watch the channel. He pretended to flinch as the doctor applied a bandage to his head.
"Are you okay, sir?" his butler asked him from the side.
"I could do with some rest." Sam said.
The doctor and the butler nodded, leaving the room. As soon as they were gone, Sam locked the door and opened up a line to the Watchtower.
"Just had to look up, didn't you?" Batman asked as soon as the channel was open.
"I was looking up the entire time. " Sam replied. "This Godfrey dude is annoying as-"
"I know," Batman said. "But as Clark said, he is entitled to his own opinion."
"I'm not disputing that." Sam said. "And that's not why I called. I'm assuming you sent someone after me as I travel to Russia?"
"Beta Squad. Just three heroes and they'll be undercover until this gets cleared up."
"Any information on the President of Russia?"
"No. Batcave's systems have nothing on him. Neither do the Watchtower's."
"Strange, my system's have nothing on them about any 'Joseph' either." Sam said.
"Well since you're doing the negotiating, you can get us some information." Batman said.
Sam pulled out his Red Revenge suit. "I'm going for a different reason. There is something going on here. Something that shouldn't."
"Just don't drag any of my heroes into it." Batman said.
Sam smirked. "Would never think of it."
Batman frowned and cut the line.
"Artemis, Wally, head home. Barbara, you and Cass are coming with me to Russia."
"Nice to meet you Artemis." Sam said, shaking her hand.
Artemis kissed him on the cheek. "You too." she said. "Thanks for the drink."
"YOU PRACTICALLY WENT ON A DATE WITH HIM!!!" Wally yelled.

"Artemis, Wally, head home. Barbara, you and Cass are coming with me to Russia."
"I don't wanna die!" the boy howled, digging his face into Revenge's knee.
"You have no say in the matter."
"I do." Revenge growled.
The assassin turned his head slightly before tossing a knife in Revenge's direction. It caught him in the chink in his armor. Literally. Revenge glared at the blood seeping from the wound. The black clad assassin continued his approach. Revenge punched him in the throat, crushing his windpipe, causing the man to stumble backwards.
"You wanna play with knives?" Revenge yelled. "Two can play at that game!"
For a second, the assassin couldn't breathe. Then, he stood up, rubbing his neck.
"No way." Revenge muttered, stepping back.
"Red Revenge. For interfering with the mission, you too shall feel the talons of the Court of Owls!"
Night of the Owls.
Coming Soon.

"I do." Revenge growled.

Dozens of reporters swarmed around the billionaire from New York, but he calmly walked past them all and into the limousine. A bodyguard turned around.
"Mr. Grant has no statement to make." he said in a heavy accent, and got into the car with the billionaire before it drove off.
"Target moving north."
"Nightwing?"
"What?"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah. I told you the target was moving north."
"It sounded like a girl said it."
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"No."
"Then keep an eye on the target, Batgirl. Nightwing out."

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any more smart remarks?"

Sneak Peek Part II
Revenge or Redemption
"This Way!" Revenge yelled.
I followed, ducking into a closet. My yellow/black cape swished behind me and exposed where we were.
"Tam! Ogan'!" a voice yelled.
The Russians brought their guns to bear on the wooden door and fired. Revenge leaped in front of me, taking the shock and damage of the bullets. But fifteen AK-47s firing into his chest managed to knock him out.
The Russians busted open the door and knocked me down with a rifle to the head. One pointed his gun at me.
"Ostan'sya vnizu malen'kaya devochka!" he yelled.
I struggled to think, the blow to my head had me in a daze.
"C'mon Barbara! Think! You're in Russia! Batman taught you this much."
After a bit of thinking, I managed to translate it into 'Stay down little girl'.
The next time they said something, it was easier to translate.
"Voz'mite ikh s losifom!"
Translation: Take them to Joseph.
