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.

"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.

"Wrong answer, Lothario. Lian's not coming back. She's staying with her family in Star City. That means that you and your merry little band of psychos are /done/ with her and this is how it's going to go." Red Robin rasps.

"You don't call her, you don't contact her, you don't even think her name, ever again. You get the urge to contact her, you rethink it and find something else to do with your time. If I think the League is mobilizing to come to Star City, I will burn you world to the ground, al Ghul. You think Batman made your grandfather miserable.

The Bat won't have /anything/ on what I and mine do to your organization. Swear now that you'll leave Lian and the boy from Central City be, and we're at quits. I won't hunt you down like the animal you are.

If you come to Star City, you're putting the nail in the League of Assassin's proverbial coffin." Tim finishes.

"Decide now."

"I do not know who you are, nor do I care. It is unwise to stand between an assassin and his prey, but even more foolhardy to stand between a man and his wife." Damien says quietly, pressing several buttons on the console at his desk.

"I have a counter-offer. You will return my wife, my father and my servant to me without delay and I will see fit to ignore the fact that you have just thrown your life away by challenging me. If any harm comes to Lian because of you, you will beg me to die." Damien tells him.

"The Batman was a worthy opponent, and currently not on my list of people to destroy. Your invoking of his name not only threatens you, but him as well. Are you /certain/ you wish to court death for him as well as you?" Damien asks.

Lian just kept her mouth shut, her brain racing at the sound of Damien's voice.

"Right. So, like any coward, you threaten people who have nothing to do with this so that you can feel like you didn't back down without a fight.

Ra's would be ashamed of you, Damien." Tim says, taking a deep breath as he winds up for the finish. He's got to get this guy riled up enough to come here without thinking, without planning.

"Last. Chance. Swear that Lian is safe and I won't make it my life's mission to ruin the League of Assassins." Red Robin demands.

Damien takes a deep breath.

"I swear that...the streets of Star City will run red with blood. I swear that my people will hunt you and anyone who stands with you to the ends of the Earth and eradicate your bloodline root and stem. I swear that Star City will become hell on Earth because of your actions, and that you will watch everything you hold dear with and die before your eyes.

I will rescue my wife from you and then I will find you...and I will kill you." Damien says, terminating the connection.

"Morgaine, mobilize the League. We move immediately for Star City to rescue my wife." Damien commands his sister.

"Also, have Lady Vic drop whatever she is doing and go to Central City to get the power source. Our timetable for the machine has been moved up. We will test it as soon as the boy arrives in Africa." Damien says.

Morgaine, who had been in the room the entire time, nodded. "As you wish, brother." She turned on her heels, leaving to alert the League.

Lian just sat on the edge of the bed, silent.

"He's pissed, Lian. We've got him right where we want him. Once we take him down, the League will be crippled and then we'll have both him and Slade in custody.

Then it's all over but the clean-up." Red Robin says, strapping his armor on. He's got to talk to J'anna, Cerdian and Mia immediately, maybe even the rest of the Arrow family.

But first, he's got to call Wally West.

"He's not going to be alone, Tim," she said. "He'll bring back-up with him, you may have him riled up, but he always plans things out. You'll need to be prepared for anything."

She stood up, pausing.

"Tim...what he said about us when you were talking to him, could you do me a favor and not mention that to anyone? I don't think people would understand." She was in no mood to be patronized, either.

Tim nods. "I won't say anything, Lian. You can tell everyone about your situation on your time. Just don't shut your friend or family out."

He pauses.

"As for Damien and his help, I've tangled with the League before, with Batman. They've got resources, they've got reach, but they aren't invincible. The fact that Ra's doesn't run the League anymore is proof of that.

They can and will be beaten." Tim says, heading for the window.

"I'm going to call Mia and have her take you to the hospital to see Roy, then the safehouse. Damien's going to need some time to get here, but I'm not giving him more than 48 hours before he's knocking on our door.

Are you going to be all right with this?" he asks.

Lian nodded. "I'll live," she said.

"Just be careful, okay Tim? I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you and everyone."

"We're all going to pull through this, Lian. Damien won't know what hit him." Tim says.
