I woke up from being knocked out, something that was becoming a normal thing since Argus had captured me. I took a look around getting a understanding of my surroundings, i was in what looked like a solitary confinement cell. There was a titanium door and four corners i had a bed and a toilet. The walls were a cement gray in color i looked up at the ceiling seeing a camera in the corner near my bed. I looked down at myself i was dressed in your generic orange jumpsuit with my prisoner number on it. I peered out of the slit in the door seeing cell doors that stretched out for miles it seemed. I walked over to my bed laying down and shutting my eye's as i closed them eventually falling asleep. My dreams were filled by my guilty conscience towards mom and dad's death. I imagined them being torn apart by Argus in the most horrifying ways as i was helplessly standing by. It was like this for a while, everyday i would wake up from my nightmares in tears. They were gone and i had wished i had died with them. That was all i thought off while i was stuck in my cell with the chatter of guards making conversation. The sound of there heavy footsteps hitting the concrete floors lulled me to sleep at night. I had lost track of time since i had first awakened in my cell only getting a sense of time from the guards conversations. The guards wouldn't let me out of my cell fearing that i would go wild and kill them like i had done to the doctors. The only time i would get to leave my cell was when it was time for my monthly checkups. Even then the guards had taken precaution against me. Every time i was sent to the medical wing the guards would storm my cell guns trained on me while one of them put me in a straight jacket wheeling me out to the infirmary. I would sit on a cold operating table confined by my metal binds while the doctors closely examined me writing on there clip boards with fascination in there eye's. I couldn't quit understand what the big fuss was about but i started to feel uncomfortable being completely naked on a operating table against my will. They acted like they never saw a extremely fit teen in there lives. Sure i was confined to a cell for all hours of the day but i didn't spend all my time wallowing in my self pity. I was an assassin and assassins couldn't afford to slack off  When you killed for a living your body was a weapon a weapon that had to be sharpened. Besides the fact that there were doctors gazing at my naked body they also made me do all kinds of physical tests based on my skills. They made me do target practice with various throwing weapons and battle simulations. They were getting me ready for something but i didn't know what. It was only after eight months of this had i found out my purpose for being kept in whatever Argus facility that i was being kept in. I was going over movements of the various fighting styles my parents had taught me. When suddenly my cell door swung open a barrage of guards storming in. The first guard bashed me with a riot shield causing me to fall on to the ground while another one came behind him with the butt of his gun striking me in the face. My vision went dark again. These guys really loved knocking people unconscious. When i had awoken i was sitting in a chopper fully dressed in black tactical gear like the Argus guards back at the facility i was kept captive in. I looked around me to see a squadron of Argus soldiers sitting next to me and across from me. I quickly scanned the chopper all of the soldiers were equipped with AR 15's and light tactical gear. One guard sitting in front of me took out a tablet that showed the face of the women who had taken me. She gave me a smile that sent chills down my spine. It was like staring the devil in the eye.

"Hello Jaxon i have a mission for you. You and a team of Argus agents will be sent to Gotham to capture a highly dangerous target. He is the accomplice of the Red Hood, he goes by the name Red X. He is highly armed and extremely dangerous. Fail this mission and the bomb that i placed in your neck will go off. Kill the agents working with you and the bomb goes off. Do anything to jeopardise or fail this mission and you'll be joining your parents in a body bag. You know your mission is i expect nothing but excellence. Waller out."

I glared at the tablet screen as the connection went dead and the soldier put the tablet away. It looked like i had my work cut out for me. If i ever hoped to escape one day i would have to play by this lady's rules. It was night time  and raining in the streets of Gotham. We flew across the skies as we did I took in the sights, Gotham was truly a beautiful city at night even for all the flaws it had. Me and my family had done a couple of missions in Gotham so i had a good lay out of the city. We landed on a roof top in front off a warehouse. There was a lot of commotion coming from the building. Gunshots and a black streak could be seen inside zipping around the building. We grappled down the building we were on taking a breaching position near one of the warehouse doors. I pulled out my twin daggers that Argus was so gracious enough to give me. The soldier near the door put a blasting charge on it. Three seconds later it exploded blasting the door off its hinges. We stormed the building. The Argus operatives shooting down some mobsters ahead of them. I ran passed them running head on into the fight. I ran near a wall slicing off the hand of one mobster who had a gun trained on me. I spun behind him then ran on the wall near me and slicing a second mobster in the stomach. Then dive rolling on the ground and cutting a thirds leg off. It went on like this for the rest off the way as i cut down all who stood in my way. I smiled as the adrenaline that came with every kill ran through my veins. As i made my way through the warehouse i was getting closer to my target Red X. He was clad in a black body armor shirt, combat pants,boots, and a red domino mask with a black cape to match. He also had a utility belt and holsters for his twin pistols. Also if i had to guess he was hiding a whole arsenal of gadgets inside that cape of his. The black streak from before zipped around the ware house taking out everybody who stood in his way. He threw the mobsters around, knocking out others, an catching the bullets the mobsters shot at him even throwing them back at them. All in a matter of a few seconds. The Argus team was no were in sight probably hidden away somewhere. Having the notion that it was better for me to handle both of these guys. But who was i to complain right ?

"Well well what do we have here ? Are you with my friends over here ? Because if you are sorry there kinda dead." Red X said pointing one of his pistols to one of the dead bodies near him. He was very cocky by the way he carried himself. Judging  by his personality I deduced that he was a couple years older then me. At the most eighteen. The black streak stopped running standing next to him red lightning pulsing around his body. He was dressed in a carbon copy of the flashes suit but just black.

"No i'm not with who ever these guys were. You see Argus wants you so i'm just here to deliver." I said getting into a fighting stance readying my daggers.

"To bad for you, if Argus was smart they would have sent more then you. Cause after i get through with you there wont be anything left to send back to your family."

He said darkly. The last part of his sentence struck a nerve in me. I was going to make him pay for bringing up my parents. I ran to him planning to get the black flashes attention so i could take him out of the fight first. As planned the black flash ran towards me trying to intercept me. I tossed my daggers in the air for a moment. I opened up a random pouch on my tactical shirt hoping that they had supplied me something to take care of the speedster. I lucked out when i found a canister off some sort. I threw it near me hoping it wasn't a flash grenade. Luckily it went off and a cloud of smoke had appeared all around me. I caught my daggers in mid air going back into a fighting stance. The black flash zipped in and out of the smoke around me. He hit me a few times almost knocking the wind out of me. I closed my eyes so i could rely on my other senses. I heard the whooshing sound he made whenever he was close. I slashed to the side of me once i heard the sound was closest to me. I felt my daggers connect with something hard. I heard a thud and the smoke had cleared soon after. On the ground holding his wounded leg was the black flash. I turned my eyes onto my original target Red X who hadn't moved from his spot at all. I ran up to him taking the chance to attack him. I jumped up into the air throwing a kick. To my surprise i had went through him. I looked back to see the image of him distort a little and fade.

"Dammit"

I cursed out loud before a fist had connected with my face throwing me off balance. I quickly regained my balance as a barrage of strikes came towards my face. I dodged and carried the strikes getting one good slash of my own at Red X's chest. He flipped back creating some distance between us. He inspected the wound before returning his eyes at me with a glare.

"You'll pay for that !"

He yelled out making a fist and two x like blades had popped from his gloves. He rushed me at impressive speed slicing at me. I quickly held my blades up to deflect the attacks. He was pushing me back with his flurry off slashes. One his slashes managed to over power my dagger sending if flying out of my hands. Taking advantage of this moment Red X had delivered a viscous round house kick to my stomach sending me flying into a wall. I hit the wall my vision blurring due to my head hitting the wall. Man this guy hit hard, if i didn't get a grip now this guy was going to seriously hurt me. I slid off the wall and onto the ground. Red x came after me again this time flipping in the air looking to bring his feet down on my back. I quickly rolled out of the way of his attack. He landed next to me. I swept his legs out from under him bringing him down with me. I gripped the dagger that was still in my right hand before attempting to plunge it in his stomach. He caught the dagger before it could pierce his stomach. His two hands gripped the knife stopping it from stabbing him. I got on top of him straddling him trying to apply more pressure to the knife. He gave me a grin that told me he was enjoying this.

"Dam five minutes into our date and your already on top of me ?" He chuckled out struggling to keep the knife away from his stomach. I was taken back by what he had just said. Blushing at his words causing me to drop my guard and play into his trap. He took his gun out of his holster pistol whipping me with it. I was knocked back on the ground next to him. This time he was the one to straddle me putting a gun to my head.

"Rule one of battle never let your opponent get the better of you."

He said panting a little bit before pulling the hammer down on his gun and aiming at my head again. I growled at him giving him a glare before speaking.

"Kiss my ass"

I shot back at him. He laughed at this getting ready to pull the trigger and kill me. Just before he could a voice cried out halting his action. We both looked at the speedster who was now on the ground unconscious with two tranquilizer darts in his neck. I looked back at Red x seeing his cocky grin be replaced with a grim look. This instantly caused me to smile up at him.

"Rule two never come to a fight alone" I said sticking my tongue out at him rather childishly. Two similar darts went into Red X's neck.

"Your so fucking dead when i wake up."

He said before his eyes closed and he fell on top off me. I sighed in relief that the hard part of the mission was over. I tried to push Red x's unconscious form off of me but he was to heavy. Two of the Argus soldiers came up to me chuckling at my current situation.

"Hey jerks you mind helping me instead of laughing." I said while struggling to get the dead wait off of me. The Argus soldiers look at each other for a second giving each other eye smiles before lifting Red X off of me. I got up off the ground dusting myself off. The soldiers carried Red X and the Black Flash to the helicopter outside the warehouses so we could go to whatever black sight Argus was planning on containing these guys. Looks like i was going to be making some new friends during my stay with Argus.
