There will be blood
It was going to be a dark day in Star City.

Or at least, it was going to be a dark day for those that dared to tangle with the League of Assassins.

The plan was set in motion, and the League was on the move.

They each had their mission. Vesper had already done his part and freed Bane from where they had been holding him. The guards at the Super-Max were currently keeping their hands full with a full-prison riot. It had been discovered that Slade Wilson was no longer at the prison, having been broken out by a team of individuals sometime previous, though that was neither here nor there.

Getting a location for where Red Robin and his allies would be was difficult, but the Informant wasn't just your everyday run-of-the-mill hacker, she was one of the best.

And now, Morgaine, along with her brother's decoy and the rest of the League, were in a helicopter headed straight towards Outsider's headquarters.

"The plan is simple," Morgaine said, briefing her team for a final time before they began their attack. "While the Demon's Head has instructed us to kill anyone that stands in our way, we are merely providing a distraction while he rescues his Lady from her imprisonment. Do not hesitate do deliver a killing strike, but wiping out the entire team is not required of us at this time. We will keep them busy until the Demon's Head informs us that he has Lian, and then we will make our getaway.

Understood?"

A chorus of yeses arose from the team, and Morgaine nodded. "Excellent. We will be approaching the target shortly."

When the helicopter was in within range of the Outsiders headquarters, a rocket was fired at one of the windows. Not one to bring the entire place to the ground, but it would definitely set the alarms off, at the very least.

The team reached the drop off point, and the League of Assassins came in through the blown-out window. Morgaine pulled out both of her swords, a bloodthirsty grin crossing her face.

"Knock-knock."

James Abbot doesn't both with rope. He simply leaps from the chopper, transforming on his way down and howling his inhuman rage into the Star City night.

He is flanked by ten ninja, the most deadly among the Master's servants. Whoever stands between the Demon's Head and his lady will fall, and James will devour their entrails.

As James hits the ground, he notices the man at the front of the building and turns to face him.

Cerdian hopes that Lian will stay inside as he asked, just this one time. He's going to handle this as best he can, until J'anna and the others arrive.

"You, none of you, are welcome here, League of Assassins. Star City is not yours, nor is Lian Harper. Walk away now, and we are at quits. The woman is under the protection of the sovereign nation of Atlantis and its king, Orin. I am his servant.

Any further attempt to claim her is a declaration of war upon Atlantis itself." Cerdian says, holding his staff at his side. Most people thought twice before pissing off royalty, so he decided to invoke Arthur's name and hope that this League of Assassins wasn't so foolish as to attack them.

Of course, King Orin knew nothing of what he was doing right now, so this was a very, very desperate gamble. If they came forward, Cerdian could deal with that, too.

If Cerdian thought that Lian was just going to sit idly by and twiddle her thumbs, then he obviously didn't know her as well he thought he did.

She was really thankful that Tim let her bring a bow with her, as she stood in the doorway, out of sight, an arrow already knocked.

Damien leaps from the chopper last, hitting the ground lightly and coming to his feet. He adjusts his trenchcoat, holding his sheathed sword at his side as he regards their current opposition.

One man to stop him from taking his wife? Damien is insulted.

"I do not know who you are, and I do not care. Turn over my Lady to me, and I will allow you to leave this place with your entrails still inside of you. Stand between her and me, and you will die." Damien says.

In response to Damien's words, Cerdian says something in Atlantean and moves his hand horizontally across his body.

The ten ninja standing with him and James Abbot simultaneously fall unconscious as if they were marionettes with their strings cut.

Cerdian's eyes glow an angry violet color as he regards both James and Damien once more.

"Leave Lian and Star City in peace, and I will not be forced to use my power to wipe you from the face of the Earth. Thrice will I ask, and then done." Cerdian intones, his voice louder now, seemingly carried on both the air and through the concrete around them.

Two fire hydrants burst from their resting places and geysers of water spout through the air.

"Choose now." Cerdian commands.

Damnit Cerdian, don't underestimate him...

Lian drew back on her bow. She had a feeling she'd be needing it now.

"Abbot, devour him. Leave nothing. I go to find my wife." Damien says, striding forward and leaving Abbot to deal with the Atlantean.

"We are not done, Demon's Head!" Cerdian yells, even as he seems to /barely/ move away from James' attack. Cerdian speaks a word and directs the water from the hydrant to slam into James at full speed.

By Poseidon, Lian, please stay upstairs and don't do anything. Cerdian thinks, not having much time to do so before James' next lunge.

The hydrant slammed into James, sending him backward. He howled, lunging at Cerdian again.

Cerdian has never faced a werecreature before. He will have to tell Father of this when he returns to Atlantis. The Circle will wish to hear of it.

Cerdian let James come, and when James slammed into him, Cerdian exploded into a torrent of water, spreading about the street.

He immediately reforms fifteen feet away, next to the gushing fire-hydrant.

"You do not have to die in your master's name! Stand down and you will be spared. This is my third and final request!" Cerdian yells, hoping that the man inside the beast can hear him.

He was the Demon's Hound. It was his duty to protect his Master, even at the cost of his own life.

James snarled, howling before he charged at Cerdian for a third time.

This was senseless, but Cerdian could not allow this man and his master to harm Lian.

He lets James charge at him, as he recites an incantation to shape the water around him into cube-sized block of ice.

When James is nearly upon him, Cerdian steps forward and aims the block of ice at the Hound's nose, likening it to the idea behind getting a shark to leave one alone.

He hopes this works, because otherwise, he's in trouble.

The block of ice connected with James' nose, and he got knocked to the ground.

He began to get up. Slowly. Very slowly.

"It is over, for both you and your master." Cerdian says, gathering the water about him for another block of ice, this one much larger than the last.

He would put this animal out of his misery and then save Lian.

Lian couldn't see who was coming, but she knew that it wasn't Cerdian. She pulled back on her bow, letting the arrow loose.

Damien saw the arrow coming as thought it were moving slowly. He unsheathes his sword and instantly cuts it into two pieces, which fall to the ground.

"Lian? Is that you, Beloved?" Damien calls out. "I'm here to take you home."

At the sound of Damien's voice, Lian could have sworn that her heart stopped beating for a second.

She could do this. She had do this.

She knocked another arrow in her bow, before stepping out into the open. She didn't fire at Damien, but she didn't lower her bow, either.

"Beloved, it's me. Please lower the bow." Damien says, looking at her with confusion. Had they tortured her? Brainwashed her against him?

He would slaughter Red Robin for this if Morgaine left anything of him to kill.

"Lian, I came to take you and our baby home, where you belong. The League is here and Red Robin is fighting a decoy while I save you. You and I must help James kill this Atlantean fool and then we can go." Damien implores.

"Please, we do not have much time. The entire League is fighting in your name." he says.

How the hell did he find out?

Lian shook a little, but held her stance.

"I really don't want to fight you, Damien," she said. "Call them off. Call of the League, leave, and we can pretend that this never happened."

"My god, what did they /do/ to you?" Damien asks, taking another step forward. She looked...scared of him. Why would she be scared of him, unless they'd tampered with her mind?

"Lian, please, it's me. I love you. You have no reason to be afraid of me, or the League. We are your family." Damien says, trying to get through to her.

"I am not leaving you and our child here like this!" Damien yells, his eyes fixed on Lian.

"You are my wife. We are bound. You...you said you loved me." he says, the world suddenly spiraling out of his understanding. Why was she doing this? She knows he can protect her from anyone; why would she try to send him away?

The report of the gun causes his head to turn and Damien watches the Atlantean fall over dead.

"Lian, your captor is dead. Now we can go!" he says, reaching for her.

And I do, she wanted to say back.

Lian dropped her bow, pushing past Damien when he told her that Cerdian was dead.

No, no, no, no.

"Cerdian!" She dropped to her knees, taking his body in her arms, cradling his head, is if the bleeding would somehow stop.

He couldn't die. Not yet, not now.

"C'mon on Cerdian," she said, the tears swelling up in her voice. "Please don't die...please don't die..."
