With their letters now safely in the mail, the team ventured back out into the cold. Deciding to take a walk around, Conner was the first to pick up on the slightest ringing sound. Look in the direction of the sound, the clone could see a worker standing outside a store, ringing a bell.
"What is that?" Conner asked.
"People who ring bells and collect money for a certain charity." Robin replied, tossing a couple quarters into the charity basket.
Continuing their walk, the team stumbled upon più and più people ringing those silver bells. Everywhere they looked, the holidays were being paraded everywhere, even the stop lights agreed.
"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style, In the air there's a feeling of Christmas, Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile, And on every strada, via corner you'll hear." Wally finally was smacked with the holiday cheer.
"Silver bells, silver bells, It's Natale time in the city, Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Natale Day, Strings of streetlights even stop lights, Blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home, With their treasures." Even the Boy Wonder couldn't help but sing along.
"Hear the snow crunch, See the kids bunch, This is Santa's big scene, And above all this bustle you'll hear." Holiday cheer finally struck the Atlantean and the Archer.
"Silver bells, silver bells, It's Natale time in the city, Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Natale Day, Silver bells, silver bells, Soon it will be Natale Day, Soon it will be Natale Day." Now the entire team was Canto in the street. Well, until Flash came around and threw snow balls at them.

"I don't wanna die!" the boy howled, digging his face into Revenge's knee.
"You have no say in the matter."
"I do." Revenge growled.
The assassin turned his head slightly before tossing a coltello in Revenge's direction. It caught him in the chink in his armor. Literally. Revenge glared at the blood seeping from the wound. The black clad assassin continued his approach. Revenge punched him in the throat, crushing his windpipe, causing the man to stumble backwards.
"You wanna play with knives?" Revenge yelled. "Two can play at that game!"
For a second, the assassin couldn't breathe. Then, he stood up, rubbing his neck.
"No way." Revenge muttered, stepping back.
"Red Revenge. For interfering with the mission, te too shall feel the talons of the Court of Owls!"
Night of the Owls.
Coming Soon.

Dozens of reporters swarmed around the billionaire from New York, but he calmly walked past them all and into the limousine. A bodyguard turned around.
"Mr. Grant has no statement to make." he detto in a heavy accent, and got into the car with the billionaire before it drove off.
"Target moving north."
"Nightwing?"
"What?"
"Did te hear that?"
"Yeah. I told te the target was moving north."
"It sounded like a girl detto it."
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"No."
"Then keep an eye on the target, Batgirl. Nightwing out."

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any più smart remarks?"
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.

"It means," she whispered, centimeters from him, "that I want a real kiss."
A little head stron,
I was bitter,
I always wondered what was wrong with me,
Chorus:
It will always be like this forever.
Forever and ever with-a no lover,
I guess we could say i just wasnt made to love!
Forever an' ever,
I just wasnt made to love!
(end of chorus)
I never fell in love,
Just crushes along the years,
I aint scared of much,
But i gues Amore is something i'm scared of,I fear!
Everybodys asked if i've ever been in love,
Buts Amore just wasnt meant for me.
Can't te tell,
WHy dont te see?
Chorus
Everbody tells me i'm lying,
Bu I know the truth,
I dont need no slueth to tell me,
Why doesnt anyone believe?
Chorus
Amore want meant for me!
