Trust!

" Ugh! Just my luck Deathstroke and Deadshot at the same time. Damn my luck is just the worst."

Dante complained as he took his gear off.

" If you think that's bad wait until you hear what bruce has to say."

Tim joked as he walked into the room

" I thought you were all asleep."

Dante asked.

" Nope, you woke Cass up when you got out the bed."

Tim responded.

" Of course, I did. That woman has senses sharper than any I've met before."

Dante stated.

" You mean sharper than Ravager?"

Tim asked.

" Yeah... wait what? How do you know... You were watching weren't you?"

Dante asked

" Yup! Come on down to the cave the others want to see you."

Tim said as he gestured for the man to follow him.

'Ugh! Here we go.'

Dante thought to himself as he followed tim down to the Batcave.

Tim pulled on the clock and the cave entrance opened.

" Yo, we're back."

Tim called out as he walked into the cave.

" Good I have something to say to you."

Bruce said as he got up from his chair.

" Yeah, what's that?"

Dante asked as the man approached him.

Bruce got in Dante's face and extended his hand.

" I'm sorry."

Bruce simply said.

" Apology accepted."

Dante replied as he shook Bruce's hand.

" What that's it? Oh man I was expecting you two to at least get into a shouting match."

Jason complained.

" I'm too tired to fight right now."

Dante complained.

" We figured. That was quite a show you put on out there."

Dick stated

" I still can't believe I let you guys follow me so easily."

Dante said as he placed his hand on his face.

" Well to be fair you were quite distracted."

Barbra replied.

" Yeah! Yeah!"

Dante replied.

Cassandra walked over to the man and grabbed his forearm.

" What's up love, did you enjoy the show?"

Dante asked.

" Safe?"

Cassandra asked

" Yeah, besides the slight cuts and bruises I'm fine. Deathstroke and I have tangled more times than I can count. And deadshot doesn't take risky shots especially against me. Though I am glad Cain and Shiva didn't decide to place their names in the ring as well. Taking on two of them is one thing but having to face three or four at a time, even I can't do that."

Dante explained to young woman.

" Good."

Cass replied as she hugged the man.

" So, the shadows are in Gotham. What are they after?"

Bruce asked.

" I don't know. That's why I came here in the first place. To find out, but every time I think I get a lead I find a pile of bodies and then I have to fight the batboys."

Dante taunted.

" I figure it's got to be some sort of cleansing. I mean they've been taking out the men who've been supplying them their weapons. Why would they do that?"

Dante asked.

" Maybe they've got new partners. I mean the shadows are always moving always changing it wouldn't surprise me if they're cleaning up old ties in exchange for new and better."

Tim theorized.

" Maybe. But tonight, seemed real personal with me. Deadshot doesn't work for the shadows. He'll take a contract from them no problem. But directly work with them not happening. It's all too strange even for them."

Dante explained.

" If you know the shadows like you say you do then you would know they never operate within the realm of logic. I'll do some digging around, how good are you at interrogation tactics?"

Bruce asked.

" My methods are probably a bit more extreme than yours."

Dante replied

" Hm, then stay. Jason, dick with me. The rest of you be on standby incase of an emergency."

Bruce ordered as he suited up.

" All right well you guys go do that. I need to take a shower. Wanna join me Cass?"

Dante asked half-joking half-serious.

" Okay."

Cassandra replied as she walked upstairs.

" I was joking but okay."

Dante said before joining the woman upstairs.

" Oh great, we get stuck with the love birds. Guess it's just us tonight ladies. Who wants to take the first shift?"

Tim asked Barbra and Stephanie.

" Eh, I'll go first. You guys can rest for a bit."

Barbra stated as she rolled up to the bat-computer.

" Thanks Barb. Come on steph I need to rest."

Tim said as he walked up the stairs of the cave

" Thanks Barb!"

Steph yelled as she ran up the stairs as well.

Up stairs Cassandra and Dante were in the bathroom getting ready to shower. Dante watched as Cassandra stripped down to her black lace panties.

" Mmm. I love watching you strip."

Dante said as he wrapped his arms around Cassandra's stomach, taking the woman's scent.

" Shower?"

Cass asked.

" Hahaha! Yeah! Yeah! One sec."

Dante laughed as he started getting undressed himself.

On the otherside of Gotham Batman, Red Hood, and Nightwing had just started their shakedown on Gothams underworld.
