Tangled
Red Robin has been watching the Dobrev Cartel's movements for the last week, since he decoded some of the information he procured from the Shadow Broker's pawn. The Dobreva's are aiding Mexican Cartels in getting weapons and drugs into the United States. Shutting them down would mean crippling a major source of income for these people. He'd already contacted Detective Falconeri of the Star City Police Department to give him the names for the warrants he should obtain as well as informing him of where the S.W.A.T. team needed to be.

Two hours before their team goes hot, Red Robin is in the Triangle, infiltraiting the building and shutting down their communications. He'll do this alone, despite the forces he can bring to bear, because he needs to know that he can still operate on  his own.

Creeping along silently, Tim sneaks up behind the next guard and locks him in a sleeper hold, dragging him into an abandoned apartment nearby and setting him down. As soon as his struggle stops, Tim sneaks out of the apartment and into the stairwell.

So far, so good.

While Tim was busy outside, Lian was occupied inside. She'd made her way into the building, completely unaware that Red Robin was outside, keeping the guards busy.

If Dobrev wanted to keep himself so well protected, he maybe shouldn't have kept his windows open.

Of course, the second some female dressed in all black snuck into his room, Dobrev jumped up, scrambling to call his guards, only to find himself pinned to the floor in a matter of moments.

"You can scream, but only if you want to end your life right here and now. Or, you can listen to what I've got to say and play nice, okay?" She pressed a throwing knife against the man's throat for good measure.

He nodded. He had no other choice, and he valued his life far to much.

Lian remained in the same spot, keeping him pinned, in case he got any bright ideas.

"You've really pissed off a friend of mine, you see," she said, keeping her knife in the same position. "Someone who doesn't take people stealing from him very lightly."

He locked eyes with her, full of horror and shock. He knew who she was referring to. He didn't think that Damien Wilson would figure his game out this quickly.

"Yes," she said, "The Demon's Head is a smart man. He doesn't like it when those that he provides so generously to make him look bad. And boy does he hate being lied to."

He found himself starting to sweat coldly. Everything had planned out so well. He didn't expect it to backfire.

"Now...unlike my employer, I'm willing to listen to reason. You don't have to die."

He gulped. "What do you want from me?"

"My demands are simple, really; you give me back the money you stole, and I help you. Of course, you do understand that, if you help me, you can't continue doing what you're doing here. Our employer wants you dead, you see."

He paled. This really wasn't his day.

"I'm not going to kill you," Lian said, seeing the panic on his face. "Simply make you...disappear." She pulled out several papers from her quiver. "This is the new identity that you'll be operating on, along with where you'll be going once this little encounter is going. If I were, I'd follow my instructions and not draw any attention to myself- alright?"

It had helped that she'd paid off some of Dobrev's guard to help her before she'd broken in. She was going to need some help smuggling him out, after all.

Dobrev listened to everything that she had to say before giving her an answer.

"The money is in the safe. All of it."

Lian grinned. "Now....we can't have the Demon's Head knowing that you're still alive. That wouldn't be good for the both of us, now would it?" She pulled out a small vile out of her quiver. "Drink this, and anyone who comes near you in the next twenty-four hours will think that they're staring at a dead man."

He nodded, taking his medicine willingly. He was conscious for a few more moments before passing out.

Lian then stood up. She had to at least make it look like a struggle had been put up. Quickly, she broke several items in the room to make it look like Dobrev had put up a fight. Also, she had to make it look like she got her hands a little dirty. And Dobrev was a bastard, and she was letting him off way to easy.

When all of this undercover crap was done, she was making sure that he got put away for good.

Lian stood over Dobrev's body, readying to make her way to go.

The throwing disc plants itself in the wall closest to Lian as she turns to go.

"You're not going anywhere." Red Robin growls, looking from the ninja to Dobrev's body on the floor. He'd come here intending to shut the man down, but murder wasn't part of the plan. He cursed himself for not anticipating that someone else might call in back-up on Dobrev.

He was going to have to try not to enjoy kicking the crap out of this ninja.

Shit.

She hadn't planned on this. She hadn't planned on someone else showing up.

More importantly, she hadn't planned on one of her teammates showing up.

It was a good thing that her face was covered, as she turned around. Wordlessly, she held up her throwing knives.

Red Robin stares the ninja down. This one is either very confident, or very stupid. He thought it might be Cheshire, but the build was wrong, if ever so slightly.

"Put it down and come quietly or you're going to get hurt, really bad. Last chance." he offers.

Sorry, Tim.

Lian dashed forward, her knives out in front of her.

Yup, she was going to get her ass kicked.

Tim was not happy that the ninja decided to attack, but finding out why the ninja was in Star City to start with would be have to be consolation.

Red Robin lets her come at him, then grabs her wrists and falls backward, attempting to throw her to the ground and end the fight quickly.

Lian dug her feet into the ground, stepping backward in an attempt to throw him off-balance.

Rather than fight her, Red Robin goes with the motion, lunging forward and attempting now to take her down by sheer inertia. The quarters here were pretty close and...there was something about this ninja's fighting style that rang vaguely familiar in his mind, but he couldn't place why.

Whether or not he takes her down, he'll roll to his feet next and ready himself to fight again.

Lian was knocked backward onto the ground. Quickly, she sprung up, attempting to counter with a leg sweep.

The leg sweep catches Red Robin by surprise and he hits the floor as well, going into a pratfall to reduce the damage. Thank god for all the tumbling that Dick used to put him through.

He kipped up and moved between the ninja and the door to keep her from thinking about running. Something was wrong with this picture, though.

Ninja rarely, if ever, ran alone. He should have been fighting the Crazy 88 by now, but he wasn't. So this ninja was either great at what she did or she was acting alone. Neither one was good news.

He throws another kick at his opponent, even as his hand dips down to his utility belt. He waits for an opening and then hits the ninja with a dirty trick: A nerve gas pellet that induces vomiting in adults almost instantly.

It's the next best thing to giving someone the gift of morning sickness.

And as Lian's been experiencing morning sickness lately? This was not what she needed.

The nausea overtook Lian quickly, and she doubled over, throwing up.

Red Robin didn't like having to nerve gas someone to get the message across, but it was effective. His attacker's mask had come off and now Red Robin knelt before her to see who she was.

"Lian?" Red Robin asks, unable to believe his eyes. He'd just nerve gassed his friend.

His friend had just killed a mob boss.

"Lian, what the hell are you doing here?" Tim asks.

Damn. Damn, damn, damn.

A part of her just wants to break down and tell Tim everything. She didn't need him thinking that she was a killer, and right now, she could really use someone to talk to.

She also wouldn't mind finding out more about her Dad's condition, either.

But in the end, he'd probably end up dragging her ass back to base and keeping her there. And she couldn't afford Damien to track her down and take everything out on the Outsiders.

She regained her senses, taking advantage of Tim's current shock to sweep his legs out from under him.

Shortly before the meeting with the Outsiders

2010-11-08 02:21 pm UTC (link)
Tim returns home, hoping J'anna decided to come by tonight. He wants to tell her what's going on before they tell the rest of the team.

He comes up the elevator from the basement of his brownstone up to the loft and opens the gate.

"J'anna? You here?" he asks.

The lease on her own apartment had turned into more and more of a formality since she rarely spent a night there anymore. She didn't have even so much as a drawer at Tim's, but that didn't stop her from being there nearly every evening when he returned from patrol, hauling in bags of food as well as her own overnight bag. She had been napping in bed when he called her name. Blinking, she sat up and glanced at the clock. It was several hours earlier than usual and she frowned at herself. Dinner wasn't ready yet.

"Tim? What are you doing home so early?" She padded out pulling her robe around herself. "Are you okay?"

Tim has several band-aids and brusies, but he smiles. "I'm fine, but Lian's not. She's in trouble and it's bad. I need to borrow your apartment and I need to find Cerdian. Can you help me?" he asks.

"Lian? Where is she? Why do you need my apartment, and I have Cerdian on mental speed dial and can have him here in like five minutes provided Aunt Dolphin doesn't ask too many questions." He smiles but she frowns and she carefully starts looking at his cuts and bruises. Half of them need to be redressed and she makes a soft snorting noise looking at his work.

"That one needs stitches. I'll get the kit."

"J'anna, don't worry about me right now. Lian is going to stay at your place with Cerdian while the Outsiders deal with the League of Assassins. That's who's after Lian.

Apparently, their leader decided he wants to keep her, regardless of Lian's feelings on the matter." Tim says. He doesn't go into further detail, but J'anna can tell just from his tone and posture that Tim is worried.

"One of his men tried to kill us both tonight. It'll be all over the news soon. The League went after that Russian crime boss in the Triangle that I've been watching. Lian found out on her own and tried to save him before some idiot pretending to be Bane tried to blow us up. That's where all the trophies came from." Tim says, indicating his scars.

"I need Cerdian to stay with Lian while we shut down the rest of Damien's plans, Martian of Mine." Tim tells her.

"The League is coming, and they're bringing back-up."

"I'm a Martian. I can worry about multiple things at once and you're my boyfriend, damnit. You need stitches and you're going to get them like it or not." Her face morphed into the terrifying full-Martian visage for a moment before going back to normal. She meant business.

She also could pick up flecks of his thoughts. It wasn't enough to piece together everything, but there was enough there that J'anna knew it wasn't just a matter of Damien Wilson not taking no for an answer.

"I'm going to need to stock the fridge at my place and then bring a few things over here. We probably don't have that much time to coordinate." She looked at Tim a moment. "When we have a moment to breathe someday I'm going to teach you to cloud your thoughts. You're loud when you're concerned."

She set about stitching Tim up and as she did so, reached out to Cerdian.

"We have to move fast."

Tim takes a deep breath and lets it out. J'anna could physically force him to sit there, which would take more time than letting her indulge her need to fuss over him. He sits back and lets her work.

"No, we don't. The team is meeting up in an hour to get the briefing. I'm going to tell everyone what I need from them then. I also have to let Batman and Robin know that Damian al Ghul might come at them." he says.

"Do me a favor. I've got a contact number for Wally West in my database. Dial him for me. His son is in danger."

"I can make that call while I'm filling the fridge and waiting for Cerdian." She closed a few of the deeper cuts on Tim, frowning the whole time. This was the only thing that bothered her in any of what they did, that Tim took so much abuse.

"There. I can live with that."

J'anna smiles a little before shaking her head.

"That actually gets cheesier every time you say it, Tim." She leaned in and kissed him briefly. "There's the real Awesome Casserole in the fridge leftover. Please eat before the team meeting. I'm going to go take care of things at my place."

She got up and moved to ge the purse and leave.

"J'anna, be careful out there, please." Tim says as she goes.

"And when this is all over...I want to talk to you about something." he says. "Don't worry, it's good news, but I just think it's a conversation we should have."

He smiles as she goes, then gets up to make something to eat before calling Mia, then the Outsiders.
