Plans within plans.
Damien Wilson is exhausted from all of his recent tribulations. The plane ride back to Morocco allows him much time to think, as he is not interested in sleep. His mother is alive and his sister is safe. There is little more that Damien can ask for at this point in time.

If he were to ask, though, he would ask that his pregnant wife was with them.
 

How could he make Lian understand that they could be happy together if they just tried? She was afraid to give up her family and friends for love, and they had hurt each other deeply in many ways. If only the Atlantean had stayed dead, Damien believed that Lian, in time, would have come to forgive him for his murder. As it worked out, however, Damien's recent actions were negated by the Black Entity, and the dead were returned to live.

But he still remembered the schematics for his machine. He also knew that Jai West was alive, and how to find him. He could duplicate the effects whenever he wished.

"It is time to establish new forward bases." Damien says without preamble. "I have three locations in mind. We also must diversify our interests, and I believe the casino industry is the way to go. Two of our new bases will be completed in those locations.  However, we are being sought and monitored. Mother, you will contact and get development bids for Las Vegas and Macau. We'll turn a profit in both locations quickly enough.
 

Then, we will establish our new base at the third location, which I have mapped out. I intend to reunite my family in that location, once and for all. Our friends in Star City will need to be dealt with as well. Morgaine, once you are rested, you are going to release someone from prison for me." Damien commands.

He sits back in his chair and relaxes, finally closing his eyes. They remain that way for nearly a minute, while a nagging worry that sat at the edge of Damien's mind rose to the fore.

His eyes open again and he looks at his mother.

"Mother, what resources do we have in the way of magic?" he asks.

Morgaine nodded. "As you command," she said. "I can be ready to go and release who you want me to in no time at all." She didn't need to rest much.

"There are contacts we have established, resources we can use." Talia said, giving her son a curious look. "May I ask why you would require someone versed in magic, my son? You have never needed it before."

"I am simply planning for various outcomes, Mother. The Atlantean is a magic-user, and should he decide to make war upon me, I will be prepared to deal with him." Damien says simply.

"Aside from which, he may use his foul arts upon my wife and try to compel her into loving him which would also give him my children. I will not allow it." Damien says.

A little while later....
[info]headofthedemon
2011-03-27 05:35 am UTC (link)
Damien is annoyed. The plane trip was fine, but everything after that was a comedy of annoyances.

James wasn't there to meet them at the airport, nor was Lady Vic, Bane or the Kumbata Twins. None of the five were on assignments, so /someone/ should have been there to greet them.

Secondly, his third rotation driver picked them up, which meant the first and second were unable to arrive. Unless they were sick or dead, they should have been here.

That feeling of unease Damien had previously was creeping to the fore again and it followed them all the way to the compound.

"There had best be a damned good explanation for this." Damien says.

"Something is wrong," Morgaine said, gripping her sword. James was always there to meet Damien when he arrived back on a mission that he did not take him with him. "Very wrong."

She blamed Henry. This had his stink all over it.

Talia scowled. The help knew better than to not upset the Demon's Head.

To do so was death.

Damien gets out of the car and marches into the compound, intent on finding out what the hell is going on.

As he makes his way to his office, however, the warning bells in his head become full-out alarms. It takes him a moment to realize why.

He has yet to see a /single/ member of the League.

Opening the door to his office, Damien expects to see that his cousin Henry has finally come out of the woodwork and declared his usurpation of the League. Or even his mother, Nysssa.

The person in the chair, however, is the last one he suspected, though he realizes that he should have known this was coming.

"/You/ have no place here." Damien snarls in anger.

Morgaine and Talia are set upon by several ninja. Two step forward to bar their path, as five others stand behind him.

He does not draw his blade, but keeps his hand upon it.

"Lady Talia...please surrender. We do not wish to harm you, but the master has commanded us to keep you here by any means necessary." he says.

"Morgaine has not been offered the same courtesy." the ninja says, drawing his blade.

The others follow suit.

Morgaine drew out both of her swords. "You do realize that it is very foolish to challenge me?" She stepped forward. "I will give you all one chance. Stand down now, and I will be merciful. Choose to fight me, and receive the same fate as your false master."

"Your skill is held in high regard, Morgaine, but even if you should kill us, you cannot kill everyone here alone." the ninja says, locking eyes with her.

"Your arrogance is now your downfall." the man says.

She would learn the price of insulting him the way she had several months ago.

Ra's and Damien
[info]dc_baddie
2011-03-27 10:56 pm UTC (link)
Ra's came at Damien, with his sword drawn.

"I can't understand where I failed with you, Damien," he said, bringing down his sword in a forward strike. "You had such potential. Such promise. And then...somewhere, I went wrong with you."

He rounded on him.

"However, my mistake will be easily remedied. I will dispose of you and your sister, and then make sure that I do not make the same mistake with my great-grandchildren."

Damien parries the first strike away, trying to slip inside his grandfather's guard to slash him from groin to gullet. When that fails, he'll leap just out of reach of the next attack and spin to face Ra's.

Damien is suddenly glad that he inherited his father's reflexes and not his mother's.

"You will never get near my children, Grandfather. I will be long dead before I allow that." Damien says.

He attempts to decapitate his grandfather and end this farce immediately.

Ra's threw up his sword to parry Damien's slash.

"No, my grandson. You will be dead sooner than you think."

He narrowly leaped out of the way to avoid being decapitated, though Damien's sword managed to slash at his chest, drawing a little blood.

"And when I'm done with you, the second that whore gives birth, I will dispose of her like I did with you. Perhaps more slowly."

He thrusted forward to stab Damien in the stomach.

Ra's al Ghul's threats against his person do not matter to Damien. He could and would take any physical violence his grandfather could dish out and he would make him pay for it in spades.

His threats against Lian, however, strike a nerve within the Demon's Head. The first fingers of true fear he's felt in years creep slowly up his spine, because Damien knows, in his heart of hearts, that Ra's al Ghul means every word he says. Moreover, Damien knows that Ra's really would murder Lian and not lose a wink of sleep over it.

Ra's al Ghul never slept, after all.

"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!" Damien roars, charging forward, only to impale himself on his opponent's weapon, nearly to the hilt.

A ragged cry issues from Damien's lips, along with a rivulet of blood as he realizes what Ra's just did to him. His fingers relax and his sword drops from his hand to clatter to the floor.

Damien falls to his knees.

Morgaine continued to run, making her way to the outside of the building.

She got to the car, looking for Damien.

Damien's body is dragged outside, onto the desert sand and several hundred feet away from the compound, deposited in a copse of bushes.

The man who leaves him there knows that Damien would not approve of such treatment. But this is better than death.

The man leaves Damien where he is and heads off into the desert night to await Damien's call to return.

Morgaine waited for Damien...and saw nothing.

Minutes later, the compound exploded.

"No!" She screamed, her eyes growing wide in horror.

She had to leave this place. It was what her brother would want.

But she was going to come back, and she was going rip Ra's heart from his chest.

Damien sat up just as the compound erupted in a fireball.

He looked around him and did not find his mother /or/ his sister.

"No. No, no, no. NO!" he yells, ignoring the protestations of his wounded stomach. Morgaine would be with him right now, if she were alive. She would be helping him plot his next move, if she were here.

Did I not give her enough time? Did Ra's send someone after her?

Damien Wilson has only cried twice in his life. Once when he was young and first learned what pain was.

The second was now, as he tried to contemplate the rest of his life without his younger sister. She was meant to die, they told him, in his name. Morgaine's existence was his to spend as he wished, when he wished.

Damien had always loved her, despite every warning he'd been given. She was sister, and the only member of his family who never sought to use him. The only member of his family who was /always/ there for him. Even Mother went away frequently for months at a time, but Morgaine was always there for him.

And now she was gone.

Damien rises to his feet, feeling the wound burn and protest, but he does not care. Pain, death and life no longer matter to him.

He will stop Ra's al Ghul from harming his wife and children. He will not let his babies learn what it is to lose a sibling.

And he will cut Ra's al Ghul's heart from his chest and devour it whole before consigning the man back to hell.

After The Explosion

After the explosion of the compound, several of the ninja proceed Ra's al Ghul and Talia out of the shelter built into the place. His grandson was clever in his trap, but Ra's had guessed that Damien might try something so desperate to cover himself.

It mattered little in the grand scheme of things. Damien was living on borrowed time, if he lived at all. And Morgaine...well, she was worthless.

"I am glad you did not live to see your children betray you, Talia, as you and Nyssa betrayed me. Still, I am willing to forgive you because I love you.

Moreover, I am all that you have left in this world as of now. Your children are dead. I regret that it was necessary to wipe the slate clean, but it was.

Now, do you wish to have a part in raising your grandchildren, or am I wasting my breath dealing with you?" Ra's asks.

Her children were dead. Talia felt as if a hole had been torn in her chest.

Her father and her grandchildren were all she had left.

"I will stay and help you in your plans, Father," Talia said, staring at the ground. "I will help you train my grandchildren into your heirs.

"Excellent. You will be in command of League operations for the time being. Right now, obtain for me a jet and passage to Gotham City." Ra's says, smiling.

"There's someone there that I simply /must/ see."
