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.

Lian nodded. She didn't really have much of choice not to tell him.

And she wasn't just going to let her friend die.

After she freed Tim from the rubble, Lian took him back to her hotel room.

Getting away from the cops was a lucky break, provided to them only by the fact that Detective Falconeri had been the first person to enter the building. He'd want answers later, but getting out of there was paramount.

In Lian's hotel room, Tim would close all the blinds and make sure the place wasn't bugged before he took off his gear, though he left his mask on.

"All right, Lian. You need to tell me what's going on, because right now, I might be an accomplice to murder and I don't like how that sounds." Tim tells her.

"Why did you go after Dobrev?"

Lian made herself busy helping Tim patch himself up.

She sighed.

"You're going to want to sit down, Tim," she said. "It's a long story."

So she told him why she was there. Hell, she told him everything that had been going on with her over the past month.

Tim couldn't believe what he was hearing. If he didn't know Lian so well, he'd swear she was just messing with him.

He sits down.

"Wow. Lian, you know you can't go back to him, right? He'll kill you if he even thinks you're betraying him." Tim says.

"You've got to let us take him down. We need to call in the Outsiders. Where is he hiding?" Tim asks.

"I can't let you," she said. "Not yet. He's onto something Tim, something really big. I want to know what he's doing before I call you guys in. And believe me, I will.

There's something else, too."

She sighed. She had to tell someone. It was eating away at the pit of her stomach.

"Tim, I'm pregnant."

"Lian, this is no time to play Secret Agent. The League of Assassins is /dangerous/ and now they're under Damien al Ghul. He's not one to be taken lightly." Tim says, remembering a previous encounter of his with Talia during his time away.

Then Lian drops the bombshell on him and Tim can only think about one thing: Earlier tonight, he'd nerve gassed his pregnant friend.

He felt like a major-league ass.

"Oh, God. Lian...I need you to hear me out. You. Cannot. Go. Back. To. Him. Especially /now/. Ra's al Ghul was especially insane about having an heir to his League. He would have taken anyone he felt was worthy. Slade is the same way. Believe me, I know.

If Damien is anything like his his father and grandfather, he will /never/ let you leave him as long as you're carrying his child. You got away and came back. Now it's time to let us protect you so that he never comes after you. We can put that psycho in a cage right next to his father in Super-Max." Tim says, looking Lian in the eye.

Remembering Slade causes Tim to think about Roy and he wonders if Lian knows.

"Lian, have you heard the news about Roy? Slade tried to kill him recently. Did anyone over there tell you why?" he asks.

"Tim, if I don't come back soon, he's going to start looking for me. And believe me, he will find me. I don't have a choice. I have to go back.

He doesn't know that I'm pregnant. He never has to find out."

Lian bit her lip.

"I heard from Damien's mother, yes," she said, "I have to know Tim, is my Dad okay?"

Tim didn't like that Lian wanted to go back to Damien. He couldn't be sure if she wanted to finish the mission or if she had really fallen for this guy. Both ideas were unsettling.

"I'll be honest with you, Lian. It's not looking good. The bullet it Roy in the neck at the jugular, but it was aimed for his head. He lost a lot of blood before the ambulance showed up and he nearly died twice on the operating table.

He's still critical, but stable. It could go either way right now, but everyone is pulling for him and worried sick about you. Mia bit my head off the other day for not telling her you were gone." Tim tells Lian.

"The doctors say that if Roy doesn't wake up soon...he might not wake up again." Tim says sadly.

Lian was silent.

"They think my Dad's going...die?"

She couldn't help it. Lian burst into tears.

"This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gone away. If I hadn't then Dad...then Dad..."

"Roy is one of the toughest people I've ever met, Lian. Dick is looking into this and he's going to make sure that whoever Slade was working for is going down." Tim says.

When she burst into tears, Tim held her.

"Lian, there's no proof that this is related to your leaving, at all. Whoever set this up planned it damn well. Slade simply botched his getaway, which isn't like him at all. He's locked up in the Super-Max until his arraignment hearing next week.

Do you know if the League is planning to break him out? If they are, I can get people in place to make sure it doesn't happen." Tim says. "Deathstroke will pay for trying to kill your dad."

Lian wiped her eyes. "Sorry. Damn hormones. I was teary-eyed at a freaking Hallmark add earlier."

She shook her head.

"No. Damien said he was too busy to arrange to spring him. He didn't even know that Slade had gone after Dad, until his mother said something."

"His mother, who is completely insane. I can see where his sister gets it from."

"Lian, I need you to focus. We need to come up with a plan, because I can't let you go back to that maniac and his family. The more sets of eyes he has watching you, the easier it will be to spot a mistake or that you aren't acting right.

And if he's already sent one person to back you up, he's definitely going to send more once word of Bane's capture hits the streets, if he hasn't already." Tim says.

"This hotel room is too public for you. We need to get you to a safehouse so that no one can find you." he says.

"He's going to notice that I'm gone eventually, Tim," she said. "And believe me, he'll probably go out looking for me himself."

"That's what I want him to do. I want him off-balance and on our turf. When he comes after you, we'll be there to shut him down. " Tim says, two plans already forming in his head. He will have o make some calls, but he is sure they will work.

"You asked all of us to trust you without question when you started this, Lian. Can you trust /us/ to help you right now? " he asks earnestly.

"I do trust you," she said. "All of you.

But I want to make one thing clear- I want to know what's going on. I'm not going to sit by myself in some safehouse, pregnant and paranoid."

Tim smiles at Lian. "You'll be kept in the loop on how things are going as long as you don't go running off and compromising the plan. Besides, you won't be alone. I think I know a guy who might be willing to sit with a cranky pregnant lady."

He's not sure how easy it will be to get ahold of Cerdian these days, but the Titans would know how, especially Iris.

"A babysitter for the lady with the baby?" Lian managed a smile.

"Something like that." Tim says. "I should probably ask of there's anything else I should know about Damien and the League while I set things in motion. Also, do you want me to spread the word about you or hold off? How soon do you want to see your dad?

Oh...and have you picked out any names?" Tim asks, an odd expression crossing his face as he looks at Lian. He sudde my remembers the last time a friend told him she was pregnant and how afraid she was.

He hasn't seen Stephanie Brown in years.

"I'm sorrry, Lian. Are you...going to keep the baby?" he asks.

Lian sighed. "Tim...you can't tell anyone this, this whole thing wasn't just we had sex and I got pregnant. Damien is...protective of me. For various reasons.

If you could tell the team and my family, I'd like that. I don't want them to worry. And the sooner I can see my Dad, the better."

She shook her head. "I haven't even thought about names yet.

I am," she said. "Though a part of me feels selfish for doing it. I haven't even had the baby, and I'm already putting her...or him at risk."

"I'll tell the Outsiders everything, but I won't let on to them where you are. It needs to be here in Star City, though, because Damien's got to come here, ready to fight. I want him angry." Tim says.

"We'll get you in to see Roy as soon as possible. I'll even make it tonight, if I can. And you aren't selfish for keeping your child. You're just the opposite." he smiles.

He gets up and stretches now, the plan forming in his mind. They can do this; they can beat the League of Assassins if they can pull together.

"Now...I need your phone. He gave you a way to contact him, right?" Tim says.

"Thanks Tim," Lian said, "For everything."

And there go those damn hormones again, making her teary-eyed.

She quickly regained focus.

"He did, and Tim, there's something else you should know.

That machine that I told you he's working on? It requires a different kind of battery power to run.

Tim, he's going to kidnap Jai West so he can work his machine."

Tim's eyes widen in shock. Now that Lian supplied that tidbit of information, it made perfect sense. Jai and Iris West were the best power generators around, short of their father or Bart. The amount of power this machine needed must be enormous...and it would have to cover a large area as well.

There wouldn't be any way Damien could keep it off the grid.

"Damn. All right. First thing is first. We get you somewhere safe, I call Cerdian to come watch over you. I'll make sure the West Twins get to safety. If he knows about Jai, he could know about Iris." Tim says.

"I need that phone, though. I've got to get this set into motion immediately, then call in the rest of the Outsiders." Tim says.

"But I know just where to hide you so that they don't come after you. " he says.

Lian handed him her phone. "This has just about every contact in the League of Assassins," she said, "And about several different numbers Damien uses."

A part of her felt guilty for doing this to him. But, she wasn't staying in the League forever. She had been saying that since day one.

"Am I allowed to know where I'm going, or that for my own protection?"

Tim considers that for a moment. Telling her provided a whole new set of issues, but he had to trust that she was serious about getting out of the League.

"You're going to a safehouse in the Triangle. That's the most I can give you, Lian. Cerdian will meet up with you there and then you two can ride out the storm until we wrap this up." Tim says, picking one of the numbers Damien uses.

The phone barely rings once before a relieved voice answers.

"Beloved, where are you? I will send my people to collect you as soon as possible." Damien says.
