When it rains, it pours. (Morgaine & Jane)
Merlyn falls from two stories up, slamming through the glass skylight and landing in the pool of the youth center below and has the presence of mind to thank whatever deity rules over this part of the world that it wasn't concrete he slammed into. Granted, with the number of crazy people chasing him right now, he didn't have a lot to be thankful for, but being alive was one blessing he would count over and over again.

He climbs out of the water as quickly as he can, ignoring the sting of his cuts and bruises. One week ago, he'd left Coast City, going on the run after confessing to anyone who would listen that he, and not Green Arrow, murdered the psychopath known as the Artist. Robert didn't care if they wanted him to pay for killing a murderer; laws and courts didn't really appeal or apply to him. The only justice he needed came at the end of an arrow.

Unfortunately, he'd run into another psychopath, two days later, that believed in the same things he did. Only, this psychopath wanted /him/ dead at the end of her sword.

It was rather ironic that his adopted brother's sister was the woman trying to kill him, because Robert killed her father. But even more irksome is that, after nine months of alternately fighting and escaping this particular woman....Robert Queen /still/ does not know her name He suggested to her that she was playing hard to get.

She tried to throw her dagger through his heart.

Funny. That line worked on Jane, once...

Morgaine had her own share of cuts and bruises, as she landed nimbly in front of the pool.

Why couldn't people stay dead once you killed them?

Robert Queen was supposed to be dead. Nine months ago, when they first fought, she had run him through on her sword. He had fallen into the river in Keystone City, and when she saw the blood, she believed him dead.

But clearly, he was stronger than she thought. He hadn't died.

This time, she was certain he'd remain dead. She ran at him, sword drawn.

	Robert drew his long knives, realizing he needed more space to use his bow. Every shot had to count right now and he wanted her reeling before he killed her. More than that, he wanted answers. "Are you...certain you don't want to go have a beer and talk this out like adults? Or a Coke and a smile?" he asks. "You could still tell me your name." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Morgaine narrowed her eyes at him. "No." She brought down her swords in a single stroke, intent on cutting him in half. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert parried the blow with his long-knife and dodges to his left. Then he tries a leg-sweep to knock her down. "Single-minded. I bet the guys dig that." Robert taunts. "Question: Do you think Damien gives a damn if you die or live? I'm betting he doesn't. You die, and he'll probably get a new Assassin to service him." Then he tries to stab her.

	She jumped to avoid the leg sweep. He was trying to get to her. She snarled, going in for another strike. However, she left herself open, and his knife sank into her shoulder. She cried out in pain, and stepped backward, pulling the blade out and throwing it right back at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Robert wasn't expecting the knife to be thrown back at him. He gets an arm in the way before the knife can sink into his neck and end this battle for good. He cries out as well, annoyed at this crazy woman's temerity.

He pulls the knife out and backs away, looking for and finding an open door just ten yards away...beyond his attacker.

"Walk away, Assassin. Last chance." he growls.

	Robert lets Morgaine get as close as he dares before rolling beneath her sword strike and running for the door at the opposite end of the room. As soon as he can get some distance between them, he can disappear again and plot his next move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She pivoted on her heels quickly, running after him, intent on tackling him to the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert gets Morgan through the door, closes it, panting. He lies her on the couch and goes looking around for first-aid materials and to get a better idea of the exits in this place. Who knows when he'll need to start running again. "Morgan, we're going to get that arrow out. Can you still hear me?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She looked at him, nearly snarling. "I can do it myself." She didn't need help. Not from him. Not from anyone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, in this case, you don't have to. You don't want to do this wrong, Morgan. You could make it worse." Robert says, pushing her hand aside so that he can look at the wound himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There was some more snarling, but she was too weak to complain as he pushed her hand aside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just do it," she said. "I've endured worse." She ignored his last statement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was never supposed to be born," Morgaine said, letting out a small cry of pain as he pulled the arrow. "My grandfather never got tired of reminding me of it. You are familiar with the name Ra's al Ghul, are you are not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He was the Demon's Head. My brother's father was right to say his name as a curse." She narrowed her eyes at him. "I'll pass on membership," she said. She nodded, holding down on the cloth. "It would be stupid of me to run right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
