Robin slowly woke up and looked around, they all had collars around their necks and they were wrapped in chains. As everyone else woke up Robin saw that they were in a large cage and they were chained to the floor of said cage. The cage was hanging by over ten different chains so they were overlooking everything in the room.

When they were all fully awake Robin heard a dripping sound, he wasn't sure what it was but he wanted to find out. Half of the room was consumed by shadows, whatever that sound was coming from had to be in the darkness. Then they all heard a voice, "You're finally awake."

A man with a lab coat walked into the light, his coat had strange bits of green on it. Red Arrow looked angry, "Where are we?"

Kid Flash looked irritated, "Where's Omen?"

Superboy tried to get out of the chains, "And what's with the collars and chains?"

The man raised an eyebrow, "Omen? You mean that thing? It's in this very room." The man took a small device with several buttons on it out of his pocket and he pressed one. The lights on the other side of the room turned on and they all gasped, even the Leaguers.

Omen was stuck on a number of thin spikes that were coming out of the floor and he wasn't moving. One of the spikes was dangerously close to his heart and another went through his shoulder. Eight or nine went through his arms and legs, and five went through various parts of his stomach.

Omen was barely breathing and the man just looked at Omen with disgust, Omen was bleeding heavily, his blood was green. That wasn't right though, Robin had seen Danny get cut once and his blood was red so why was it green? The man turned to them, "That thing will live, I can't say the same for you though."

Martian Manhunter glared at the man, "What did you do to him?"

The man scoffed, "Nothing that it can feel, that thing isn't even human, in fact it isn't even alive."

Robin was absolutely pissed, "What are you talking about?"

The man smirked, "I suppose I can explain since you won't be alive much longer. That thing is a ghost, we turned him into one about six years ago, it doesn't have any powers but we can still use it for tests."

Robin's eyes widened, Danny had disappeared six years ago, did Danny leave because of what they did? And did he say tests, this bastard ran tests on Danny and didn't even have the decency to think of him as a person?! Miss Martian wished she could punch this guy in the face, "Quit calling him an it, and what do you mean he's a ghost?!"

The man laughed, "That thing isn't a person, it shouldn't even exist, the only reason it's still here is because it's a test subject. We killed it six years ago and now it's a ghost, it was useless as a human so we killed it."

Robin felt like his head was starting to spin, they killed Danny, that's why he looked so different. He couldn't believe it, was this why he said that Danny had to die so Omen could live? But what about why Danny started killing, and what did he mean test subject?

Batman growled, "Then why is he an assassin, and what do you mean test subject?" Leave it to Batman to ask the important questions, Robin would have asked if he hadn't suddenly lost the ability to speak. Everyone wanted to hear the answer to Batman's questions, for some reason they also felt like they didn't want to hear the answer.

The man sighed, "It didn't want to be an assassin, it had this no kill rule and it refused to hurt anyone. The only reason it did was because we threatened a friend it had, we said we'd kill it's friend unless it started killing people. Now it only kills criminals and yet it still hates killing, it never would have done it if it's friend weren't in danger."

"We've tried torturing it to break it's mind so it would do whatever we say but it refuses to. It's stubborn but we can still use it for tests, we've used hundreds of different drugs, acids, and everything else you can think of on it. I have no idea how it still has it's sanity but I don't really give a damn, we'll break it sooner or later."

No one could believe what they were hearing and Aqualad actually looked angry, he never looked angry! "So you forced him to kill even though he didn't want to?"

The man nodded, "It never would have killed unless we forced it to."

Aquaman glared at the man, "And how long have you kept him here?"

The man began to think but Omen moved, "I fucking hate you."

The man turned to Omen, "You don't even have emotions nor can you feel pain."

Omen glared at the man, "That's what you think you son of a bitch."

The man rolled his eyes, "You're one to talk, you're just a thing, you're dead, you shouldn't even exist."

Omen was about to talk but the man cut him off, "Just shut up, once they're dead you're going to be locked in your cell." Omen was a bit confused, what did he mean, who was he talking about? Omen managed to look at the cage and when his vision focused enough so he could see who was in it his eyes widened.

He looked at the man, "What the hell is going on, how the hell did they even get here?"

The man shrugged, "You'd have to ask them, it doesn't matter how they got here though, they won't be alive for much longer."

Omen struggled but he couldn't move much, "Let them go, they don't know anything."

The man shook his head, "They kept asking questions, they know more then they should. Once they're dead no one will know about this place and everything will go back to how it was. Now shut up and stop pretending to care, your not fooling anyone."

Omen looked angry and he glared at the floor before he took a deep breath, "Let them go or I'll make you."

The man rolled his eyes again, "And how are you going to do that?"

Omen smirked, "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve you bastard."

The man gave Omen a challenging smirk, "You can't do a damn thing you worthless ghost scum."

Omen looked at him seriously and raised an eyebrow, "Have it your way." Omen made the lights flicker and when they stopped he was gone and the man looked around.

"What the hell?!"

Omen laughed eerily, "I told you to let them go, this is what happens when you underestimate me." The lights flickered again and Omen was right behind the man, the man turned and Omen kicked him in the face and knocked him out. Omen grabbed the remote from the man's hand as well as a set of keys from his pocket.

Omen flew up to the cage and unlocked it before walking inside and walking to the nearest person. Omen unlocked each of their chains and he scowled, "I don't have the keys for the collars."

Green Arrow raised an eyebrow, "What do the collars do?"

Omen shrugged, "They take away all of your powers and weaken you so you aren't a threat. Which means that I have to get you out of here and none of you can do a damn thing to help."

Robin looked confused, "Why wouldn't we be able to help?"

Omen mentally sighed, "You're all unarmed and powerless, the people outside these doors have guns that are designed to stop me, and they're all well trained. Unless you can avoid their shots, fight them, and win I'd say you don't stand a chance, especially with so many of them."

They all looked at each other, none of them were at full strength but Omen was hurt. Omen rolled his eyes, "I might be hurt but I know what I'm doing, trust me this once and we'll all get out alive." The heroes all looked at each other before nodding at Omen, he was the only one that knew what they were up against.

There was a loud bang when someone tried to break down the door and Omen turned to them. "I'll get you out of here, just do what I tell you to and you'll be okay." Omen grabbed one of the chains and a lock, he attached it to one of the bars and locked it. "Use this to get out of the cage, if you fall from this height you'll get hurt, consider yourselves human at the moment."

There was another loud bang and Omen glared at the door before he jumped out of the cage and landed lightly on the ground. The door burst open and Omen took out his swords, he wasn't going to kill anyone but he could use them to destroy their weapons. The guards started running into the room and shooting at Omen but he dodged the blasts and ran at them.

Omen kicked one guy in the face and elbowed another in the stomach before he stabbed their blasters and they were rendered useless. As Omen was fighting, the heroes used the chain to get out of the cage and gathered at the bottom. Omen was fighting and he didn't realize that several guards were aiming at the heroes until they already fired several shots.

Omen created a shield around them and one of the guards pointed a blaster at Omen. "You've had powers this whole time?!"

Omen smirked, "Yup." They started trying to shoot him again but Omen dodged them and put one of his swords away before taking one of their guns. He crushed it in his hand and took out his own gun before he fired down the barrels of several balsters. The blasters blew up but someone knocked Omen's gun out of his hand, Omen tsked and glared at the guards.

"Now I'm pissed." He stopped suppressing his glow for the first time in years and he shot at them with his ecto-blasts. Once the guards were all knocked out he got rid of the shield around the heroes, "Hurry up!" The heroes followed Omen out of the room and Omen took out his other sword after retrieving his gun.

They ran into thirty or forty guards as they ran through the halls and Omen got shot in the back and his shoulder. Omen's shoulder had been hurt before he got blasted so it just pissed him off, he wasn't paying attention to the pain. Omen took something from a scientist they ran into and he ran into a room and grabbed a backpack as well as several items.

He continued to run and he realized that his vision was starting to blur, he cursed his luck. He ran to the facilities exit and once they were outside Omen had the heroes go ahead of him. Once all of the heroes were ahead of Omen he ran after them and looked behind him, the guards weren't going to give up that easily.

Omen fought several guards that tried to chase after them and he ended up tearing several trees out of the ground with his powers. He blocked the path so it would be harder for the guards to follow them and he kept checking for guards just in case. After they got far enough away everyone stopped and started trying to catch their breaths.

Omen could feel the blood flowing from his wounds and the pain finally caught up to him. Omen put his swords away and he leaned against a tree while clutching his shoulder, he was tired now. The heroes had almost caught their breaths and Omen tossed a set of keys at Red Arrow.

"Those are the keys for the collars," Then Omen passed him the backpack, "Most of your weapons are in there. The bows are in there as well as some arrows but not many, they already destroyed most of them."

Red Arrow nodded and got his collar off before the keys were passed around and all of the collars were off. Then everyone got their weapons and Omen shook his head to clear his vision a little, he was losing too much blood. Once everyone had their weapons and the collars were off Omen pushed himself away from the tree.

"There, I got you out like I said I would, this is where we part ways and go back to being enemies." Omen turned around and started walking towards the facility and everyone's eyes widened.

Aqualad took a step forward, "What are you talking about?"

Omen looked at them, "I have to go back, they're already pissed enough, if I don't go back it'll be even worse. Just forget about what you saw, forget about me, forget about everything, it's better that way." Omen tried to leave but the two speedsters blocked his path and Omen sighed, "Do I have to fight you now?"

Kid Flash looked concerned, "Why do you want to go back there, we can help you."

Omen glared at him, "You can't help me, no one can, it's bad enough that they know about my powers. Now I have to figure out a way to make sure they won't go after any of you, why the hell did you go there at all?"

Miss Martian looked sad, "We put a tracker on you and it lead here, we didn't know."

"No shit, I didn't want anyone to know, it's not like anyone gives a damn anyway. I've got a pretty good idea of what that bastard told you and I don't care what you think. Just go back to being the damn heroes and leave me alone, there's nothing you can do."

Omen started coughing and he threw up some blood, everyone's eyes widened once again and Omen sighed. "I hate it when that happens, I'm so fucking done with today, just get out of my way and let me do what I have to." The two speedsters held their ground and Omen growled, it was scarier than Batman's growl, you could bet on that.

"Look, if I get to far away from the facility my collar will go off and once it does it'll hurt, a lot. I can't leave either way so let me go back and we can all forget this ever happened."

Batman's eyes narrowed, "What collar?" Omen moved part of his coat out of the way so they could see the collar around his neck.

"It only comes off when a set of commands are sent to it, it's ghost proof so I can't get it off."

Robin took a step forward, "I can try and hack into it."

Omen wanted to say no but he couldn't, not to his little bird, he sighed and leaned on the tree before sliding down and sitting on the ground. "I don't give a shit anymore, I'm barely conscious and I'm tired as hell, just don't say I didn't warn you." Robin sat down next to Omen and plugged his holo-glove into Omen's collar.

Not even a minute later something activated and Omen was electrocuted, at least it didn't hurt. It just made him feel stronger, thank Clockwork he absorbs electricity, it doesn't affect him anymore. After a few more minutes, and a few more things in the collar activating, it finally came off.

As soon as the collar came off Omen grabbed it and threw it at a tree as hard as he could. The collar broke and Omen huffed, "I always hated that thing," Omen started to get up. "Now that, that's over with you guys can leave me alone, I'm sure those bastards are searching for everyone here."

Red Arrow crossed his arms, "We're still not letting you go back there."

Omen groaned, "Oh come on! What are you going to do, drag me all the way to that damn mountain and lock me up?"

Superman crossed his arms, "We will if we have to."

Omen frowned, "Bad Superman, kidnapping is illegal you know? I might be an assassin but even I don't kidnap random people that are dangerous. You don't even know me, I could be some psychopath that's just waiting to kill you when your guards are down. This is why you let dead kids stay dead, I might have been killed but I'm not some emotionless puppet."

Batman raised an eyebrow, "You just contradicted yourself."

Omen wasn't phased, "At this point it's the blood loss talking, I have no fucking clue what half of the words I'm saying are. My visions going black and I'm tired as hell, if you could let me go back to the facility that would be great."

Omen swayed slightly and everyone got worried, he looked incredibly pale and it looked like he was having trouble staying conscious. Green Arrow sighed, "We're not letting you go back."

Omen shrugged, "Then have fun dealing with an unconscious ghost, just know what whatever happens next isn't going to be good." Omen then proceeded to faint not just because of blood loss but also from dehydration, malnourishment, lack of sleep, and pain. Several people moved to catch him but because Robin was the closest he caught the poor teen.

Robin mentally sighed, his poor boyfriend had just passed out from god knows what. Batman sighed, "We'll bring him to the watch tower, once he wakes up we'll figure out what's going on." Everyone nodded and Kid Flash helped Robin literally drag Omen to the nearest zeta tube.

I told you I'd update both of them, happy day!
