Break Out
Keith sat in his cell with restraints and a device on his neck that prevented him from using his sonic scream. They took all of his equipment and locked it away in a safe. His dad was on his way to visit him, which wasn't something Keith looked forward to. Killing the Artist quickly became Keith's biggest regret. He had screwed over not only himself, but his entire family. How was he supposed to make this up to them? He didn't know, and he was just about ready to give up on everything.

"That's different!"

He was getting madder.

"I... I wasn't thinking about what I did! I didn't make a decision! I reacted because I lost control for a second, and that will never happen again!

And Cerdian... Cerdian was no killer. He was protecting Lian from you and your goons! And let me tell you something else, Damien. Cerdian could have taken all of you out without killing a single one of you. If he threatened to kill, it was to make you back off. But I guess the League of Assassins doesn't know a bluff when they see one, huh?"

He was probably digging himself such a hole. But it felt so good to just let it all out. Damien was the perfect focus for all of his anger about what had happened.

"You and your League... you're all monsters. You all make the decision to kill people because you all like it. And you, Damien-- you're the worst of all. You aren't just satisfied with killing people yourself. You have to bring Lian into your mess, even though she doesn't want to be!

Just leave her alone! What did she do to deserve somebody like you?"

"I am not in the business of bluffing, Keith. I do not make idle threats. Those who stand with me benefit and those who oppose me suffer dearly. Ask Batman and Red Robin." Damien says.

"You and I are not so different, Keith. You call me a monster because I kill, but you have done the same. You made an informed choice to kill. You know what you are capable of every time you pick up your bow and arrow.

Your brother, Robert? He is a killer, too. Taught by one of the world's /best/. Is he a monster, too?

Speaking of Robert, you and I should be honest with each other. He's a cancer on both of our families, Keith. All he does is make for one more distraction our fathers can't afford, taking their attentions from their other children. But do not worry, Uncle-in-Law.

I am going to do the both our fathers and you a favor: I will make sure that Robert Queen doesn't live long enough to become an issue that diverts attention from our lives.

My sister will deal with him handily and even dispose of the body for you. In the meantime, /you/ will return to Star City and assassinate Councilman Vontrell Griffin II for me.

Do this and your debt to me is paid in full. Fail, and...Interpol might learn of the Green Arrow's whereabouts by the end of the week." Damien says.

"By the way, Keith, a word of advice. Murder is much like love-making.

It gets easier after the first time." Damien says.

And then the screen goes black.

That fucking tears it.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Keith shouted at the blank screen. He nocked his bow and released an arrow so fast, he wasn't sure if he had picked the right arrow. But the capsule on the end broke off and it connected with the laptop, which exploded.

He turned around and ran out of the den. He needed to find Robert, and fast. Keith was not about to let his brother die. He used his sonic scream to knock down wall and readied an arrow for use against whomever was attacking his brother.
