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)

Then out of no where two gun shots go off. Not intending on hitting Robert or Morgaine. Jane even as a Black Lantern knows just how to grab their attention.

"You'd think that you'd wait until a proper mourning period passed before you started playing with other women." There is a period of silence.

"I guess I wasn't that important. Of course she is just a harlot, not even worthy of her title. Don't blame you though, she at least has a nice ass." Jane goes quite again.

"Personally I'd slit her throat. She'd make a better dead body than a fuck toy. She's too bony. Nothing fun to grab onto besides that ass."

	Robert throws himself to the floor when the gunfire starts, cursing himself for not predicting this. But when he hears Jane's voice and sees her face, Robert pauses in shock. "Jane! Get down!" he yells, not wanting the psycho behind him to catch sight of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You brought a friend, Robert Queen?" There was a snide tone in her voice. "Are you afraid to die alone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh no my dear," Ra's al Ghul replies as he steps out of the shadows putting an arm around Jane's waist. He smiles at the other Black Lantern.

"This lovely woman and myself only came to help you along." He reaches and strokes Jane's cheek.

"She is a true angel of mercy Granddaughter. Let us help you both. Life is filled with such pain and hardships, let us help you find true peace." And he may be very visibly be stroking Jane's hip.

"Not now Ra's," Jane chastises him pulling away stepping further into the dim light. The hole in her chest where her heart once was is visible.

"Don't upset them. They won't accept their fates if we make them angry.... Of course anger would be fitting. I should be angry! So should you. Her stances are way off. I thought she was an assassin, not a little girl playing dress up. And here you were bragging to me like a sweet proud grandpa should."

	Robert can't /believe/ what he's seeing right now. Who is this guy and why is Jane acting like this. He draws his bow and looses an arrow at the man. "Get. Away. From. Her." Robert snarls. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-03-04 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Morgaine, however recognized the man that was with Jane. He was the one person in the entire world that she ever feared. She still had nightmares about the torments he put her through as a child. "You're...you're dead...stay...stay away from me." (FEAR) She stepped backwards, her grip on her sword shaking somewhat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Merlyn is not certain whether this is a good or bad development. On one hand, Psycho Woman isn't trying to kill him. On the other hand, this Ra's guy has his dirty hands all over Jane and he's hurt her some how. The hole in Jane's chest hasn't escaped his notice.

"Jane, come to me, honey. Let's the crazy woman and this other guy talk it out on their own." Robert requests, trying to be soothing.

	"What a foolish boy and a foolish girl. They have no idea that we wish to bring them gifts." He sneers at Morgaine. "And the angel of mercy is right my dear granddaughter. You aren't holding them right. Remember. They are a part of you." He steps forward standing next to Jane again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jane stepped forward again. Not wanting to get too close to Robert just yet. But signs of death seem to cling to her. She has killed others. Their blood is on her hand caked on thick.

"Aw But hon. It's a family moment. It's important. Ra's just wishes to bring his family together. Next stop is that brother of hers. One big happy family, I suppose. A pack of filthy murderers."

	Robert looks at Jane...then Ra's...then Psycho Woman. A disturbing picture paints itself in his head. "Jane...did /she/ do this to you?" Robert asks warily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

An arrow whizzes past Robert's face as he questions Jane, barely avoiding taking his nose with it.

Merlyn looks in the direction the arrow came from and his face hardens.

"Worry less about the women and more about yourself, poser. You stole my name and got a lucky shot in after Slade and your mother set me up.

But that's okay. Sending Green Arrow your head in box will get the message across just fine." the first Merlyn says, nocking another arrow.
