Morgaine did not like being called when she was about to go out on a job. She had to catch a flight to go to Gotham City in a five hours. She did not have time for this now.

She especially did not like it when it was her brother, Damien, the head of League of Assassins that was the one calling her. If it were anyone else, she could shrug them off. Say that she didn't have time for it. But her brother, her superior AND the Demon's Head? No such luck.

Morgaine entered her brother's private quarters, not even making an attempt to hide obviously annoyed expression on her face.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" As was customary, she bowed in the presence of the Demon's Head.

That, and his bodyguards were present. Not bowing was a good way for her to lose her head. As much as she detested her brother, she had no desire to end her life right there and then.

"I did." Damien says as she enters the room. This is distasteful for her, much as it is for him. He looks around to his bodyguards, then speaks.

"Leave us." he says. As one, they turn and file from the room, leaving him and Morgaine alone.

"What is the mission in Gotham you are undertaking?" he asks, going over some of his own information on Gotham. He will be headed there soon, after he makes several acquisitions elsewhere.

She'd like to tell him that it's none of his business. That her work is her own.

But she can't do that.

"I have been assigned to 'take care of' a mafia boss. Apparently, a simple bullet to the head or well placed blackmail will no longer do it for these people. He is also very well protected. They are paying me a hefty sum to take care of him, his bodyguards, and anyone else that might be there with him."

	"Your talents are wasted, Sister Mine, on such trivial assignments. But I know you will do your best work, as you always do." he says, looking up at her. "I...have a gift for you, Morgaine, if you will accept it." he says. "Two, actually. Will you accept?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a job. I'm being paid for it. Unless something better is offered, I always take it." She paused for a second. "I will accept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Damien turns the chair behind him and grabs a long slender case, and places it on the table between them, sliding it Morgaine's direction. He will wait for her to accept it before speaking again.

If she opens the case, she will recognize her father's bow and quiver inside the case, refurbished and re-strung.

"My men found it after going over the site where Merlyn fell, and I thought you might want it, kahztizha." he says, using the familiar form of 'dearest sister' in Arabic. She has long despised him for everything, and he doesn't have any illusions that this will make up for the horrible treatment she endured on his behalf, but he hopes that she will see that he is trying to good to her.

"The second gift is less tangible, but since you are going to Gotham, I thought you might find it useful." he says, writing down an address on a slip of paper and passing it to her.

"This is the last known of address of a man calling himself Jacob King, in Gotham. The name only caught my attention because of your surname, but after a bit of digging...I found out that the man who rented the apartment at that address matches the description of Robert Queen." Damien tells her.

He is certain he doesn't need to say more than that.

She opened the case, trying to hid her initial surprise...and awe, when she saw her father's bow. Her father had never wanted her, it was true. No one had, save for her teacher and mentor, Lady Shiva. But this...this was incredible. Morgaine ran her hands over the bow, drinking the sight of it in.

"I thank you, brother," she said, trying to hide any tones of affection that might come out in her voice.

Her face darkened at the name of Robert Queen. "Shado's son? The man that killed my father? Who stole his title from me?"

Damien was skilled at reading people from years of practice at his mother's knee, but he almost missed his sister's surprise. He did not press the issue, only allowed it to pass as a possible first step in the right direction.

"You are welcome, Morgaine. And yes, one and the same. The information is only forty-eight hours old, and you may yet have your chance to avenge your father. One of my Gotham contacts also said he ran afoul of a man wielding a longbow. Donald Kestrel, if you're of a mind to look him up." Damien tells her.

"Complete your contract, then take a bit of time to run down the lead. I ask only that you alert me if you leave Gotham and arrive at a new destination." he says.

"Oh, and that you remain safe and whole." he tells her.
