Chapter Fourteen:
Revenge grabs the gun and pulls the president over his head, throwing him onto the balcony. The soldiers below snap up their pistole and fire. I don't know how we escape. Their marks are dead on. I take a bullet to the arm and clutch at it, but Revenge pulls me out before anyone can get their bearings.
We run down a maze of halls, me leaving a trail anyone could follow, my red blood dripping to the floor.
Five soldiers appear in front of us, snap up their guns, and fire. Revenge grabs my hand and throws me to the ground. I slide under them and place explosives as if we planned it. They detonate and the guys are thrown int the walls.
"This way!" Revenge yells.
I follow, ducking into a closet. My yellow/black cape swishes behind me and exposes where we are.
"Tam! Ogan'!" a voice yells.
The Russians bring their pistole to orso on the wooden door and fire. Revenge leaps in front of me, taking the shock and damage of the bullets. But fifteen AK-47s firing into his chest manages to knock him out.
The Russians bust open the door and knock me down with a fucile to the head. One points his gun at me.
"Ostan'sya vnizu malen'kaya devochka!" he yells.
I struggle to think, the blow to my head has me in a daze.
"C'mon Barbara! Think! You're in Russia! Batman taught te this much."
After a bit of thinking, I manage to translate it into 'Stay down little girl'.
The successivo time they say something, it is easier to translate.
"Voz'mite ikh s losifom!"
Translation: Take them to Joseph.
Revenge and I are dragged back down the maze of hallways until we reach the large hangar we were in before. The soldiers take us up to the balcony and tie ropes around our arms and legs. They strip us of our utility belts and Revenge of his cape. I see why when they dump it out to reveal innumerable weapons and gadgets. successivo come our gloves, boots, and in my case, the zipper that attaches my cape and cappuccio to my suit which doubles as a weapon. The mask slips to one side.
We're hoisted in the air. That's when Revenge begins to wake up. He groans and shakes his head and suddenly he's fighting beside me, trying to get free as we're hoisted into the air.
We're held there for hours. I don't know exactly, all I know is I'm setting Ace* on them when I get down. I think I doze off because when I wake up, we're being hoisted down in front of the Russian President.
"Well, well." he says in a much thicker accent than on television. "American heroes. Red Revenge and his sidekick Batgirl."
"You don't watch TV much, do you?" I ask. "I'm the PARTNER of the BATMAN. Never met this creep until today. o yesterday. Whatever time it is."
"I think highly of te too." Revenge says.
"Small matter. I think what te should be worried about is how painful it will be to be Frozen alive."
"Excuse me?" I ask.
"We're going to put te and your boyfriend--"
I snort in disgust.
"You and your boyfriend's body in water with a temperature of negative two hundred thirty one. Your heads will remain outside. Your bodies will slowly freeze, with te experiencing every moment of it." the Russian President finishes.
"Is this about Rio De Janeiro?" I ask.
"No, I need te two out of the way, so I can finish my grand scheme."
"See?" I ask, turning to Revenge. "You need to treat me with as much respect."
"Remind me to string te from the ceiling for a few hours when we get back. Strange..." Revenge sniffs at the air.
"What?" the Russian President asked.
"I believe he was referring to your bad breath." I replied. "Ever heard of a toothbrush?"
Joseph growled and smacked me across the face.
"Lay a hand on her again..."
Joseph looked up to see Nightwing and Wondergirl standing/floating above them.
"And te won't walk out of here."

How did I survive?
It was peaceful
Then they came
They took all ‘smart’ and ‘intelligent’ ones
They burned our houses
They burned our city
They burned our people
They almost burned me
She almost burned me
I will never forget her face
Long hair
Blue eyes filled with fire
Angry...
So angry...
She held fuoco in her hand
It didn't hurt her
The fuoco just danced in her hand
She looked at me
Then my parents
Then me
She burned my parents
I ran
It was hot
So much fire
So much burning
I ran
I hid
I dissapered
Now I am here
I am Rostlina
And I am going to kill the fuoco casters.

The car raced to the Mountains. Zinc had no idea where his 'Father' was taking him.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Away, to keep te safe. te don't belong here" Replied the Death Spirit.
"What!? what about my twin Zoe, why aren't te taking her to be safe?!"
"She already is. In the eyes of the Spirits."
A nube, nuvola of thunder formed right behind the mountains. Echoing throughout the mountain air.
The Death Spirit made a left hand turn into a field of grass.
"Gnome. You'll be sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza there". detto the Death Spirit.
Blackness filled Zincs eyes, as he fell into a trance.
The Death Spirit had taken Zinc to a far away universe. He was held in a town called Gnome. No way there, no way out. Only da plane.
TBC TO FIND OUT ABOUT ZOE (ME) AND THE REMAINING SECRETS STAY TUNED......

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?"

Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.

"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
