The team, plus Omen and Hollow, were flying in the bio-ship on their way back to the mountain. Omen had his arms draped over his stomach and he was struggling to keep his eyes open. He was tired and the blood loss wasn't helping at all, Hollow was the one making sure he didn't sleep yet.

Omen was currently applying pressure to most of his wounds so they wouldn't bleed as much. At least he was the only one with injuries, he was used to pain after everything that happened. Omen's mind started to wonder and he thought about his life in the facility. He had been getting experimented on for four years before that day, the day everything changed for he and Hollow.

He wasn't Hollow then, he was just Richard, he was eight years old and his whole life changed. Richard's parents died, no they were killed, and because Richard knew him those damn scientists took him. They kidnapped Richard that night and he was taken to the facility where he was practically thrown into Danny's cell.

Danny was shocked but he ran to Richard and got in front of him to protect him from the scientists. The scientists closed the door and Danny turned to Richard who looked scared and Danny tried to back up. That was when Richard suddenly hugged him and Danny took a second to hug him back.

"Danny what's going on, where are we?" That's when Danny explained everything, being sold, experimented on, tortured, and trained. Richard listened to every word and his heart broke more and more as the story went on. By the time it was done Richard was crying for his friend that looked as if he had accepted what was happening to him.

Richard hugged Danny again, "We'll get out of here, I promise we'll get out of here, together." Richard let go of him and smiled, Danny couldn't help but smile back, not even five seconds later the door opened. A guard grabbed Danny and lead him out of the room, Richard was going to stop them but Danny shook his head.

Richard froze for a few seconds and that's all it took for the guards to be able to close the door. Danny walked down the hallway and once they got to the experimentation room Danny laid on the table. Then he looked at the scientists, "I know you're up to something, what the hell's you plan?"

One of the scientists smirked, "It's simple, as long as you do what you're told we won't hurt your little friend. If you disobey he'll be the one to pay the price, your friend is insurance, behave and we won't hurt him."

Danny's eyes narrowed, "How do I know you're not lying?"

"Are you really willing to find out?" Danny glared at them but he kept his mouth shut, that's how it started, that's how Richard came to understand Danny. The two studied together, trained together, ate together, and basically lived together. The only times they were separated where when Danny was being experimented on or tortured.

Two years after Richard was taken to the facility Danny was brought to a room he hadn't been in before. That was when they killed him, that was when he became a halfa, he could still hear those screams. Omen was taken out of his thoughts when the ship landed and Hollow helped Omen stand up.

Omen tried to insist that he was fine but Hollow could always call him out on his bullshit. Hollow immediately took him to the medical bay and took care of his wounds, they weren't that bad but blood loss wasn't something to take lightly. After Hollow had finally said that Omen was patched up he stood up but Hollow hugged him.

Omen smiled, "I'm okay, really."

Hollow hugged him a little tighter, "You were thinking about it again."

Omen sighed as he hugged Hollow back, "I'm never going to forget it, at least not all of it was bad." Omen smiled as he heard Hollow laughed a little, the two kissed for a few seconds before they got their stuff and left the room. The two were glad that no one saw the color of Omen's blood, that would be hard to explain.

They didn't want to explain it at all but if they did then they wanted to explain it on their own, not be pressured into it. Omen walked into the room while holding his two broken ribs, one of those guards got in a lucky shot. It turned out that Batman had come to the mountain and he looked at them when they walked in.

"The team told me what happened."

Omen decided to be snarky, "We are not responsible for any injuries or death that may occur."

Hollow laughed just a little while Batman raised an eyebrow, "The only one that got hurt was you."

Omen shrugged, "Not my problem."

Hollow smirked, "Technically it is, you're the one that has to deal with the pain and blood loss." Omen rolled his eyes but he still smiled while Batman had a look on his face that said, 'I am not amused.'

"I need to talk to both of you, alone." The last word was directed to the team and they all left the room as the duo wondered what Batman was going to ask them. Batman turned towards the zeta tubes, "Follow me, I've programed the zeta tubes to recognize you as gusts."

The two followed Batman and when they got to wherever they were going they were a bit impressed. They were currently in the Batcave and they looked around at the large space before they followed Batman again. They were actually impressed but you couldn't see it because the shadows hid their faces.

Batman lead them over to the bat computer and they looked at it before looking at everything else. Omen could hear the bats flying around near the ceiling of the cave and he wasn't surprised that Batman actually lived with bats. Batman almost smiled at how curious they were, not many people had seen the cave before.

Hollow looked at Batman, "So why are we here?"

Batman looked from Hollow to Omen and he mentally sighed, "I need to ask you some questions."

Omen shrugged, "Fine."

"How many villains and groups do you keep an eye on?"

Hollow shrugged, "There are a lot, we can't give you an exact number without checking."

Batman nodded, "And what about the language you two were speaking in?"

Omen smirked, "We learned it a long time ago, not very many people know it so we use it to talk to each other when we don't want others to know what we're saying."

Batman was quickly learning that the more he learned about these two the more questions he had. Batman took off his cowl and the two were surprised, they knew who he really was but they weren't expecting him to do that. Batman, or Bruce since he didn't have his cowl on, looked at them curiously.

"Who are you two?" That was when Omen heard an elevator and he looked toward where it was coming from. Not long after that the doors opened and an older man wearing a suit walked into the room. Omen and Hollow smiled and Omen walked up to the older man before looking at Bruce.

"Please tell me he's british, I want to see this stereotype in real life."

The older man raised an eyebrow before he looked at Bruce, "Who are they master Bruce?"

Hollow smiled and Omen knew his eyes had lit up when he heard the British accent. Hollow spoke, "My life is complete, he reminds me of a Doctor Who character and I'm so happy right now."

Omen walked back over to Hollow, Alfred looked at Bruce and the hero sighed. "This is Omen and Hollow, they sell information to heroes and villains, they went with the team on their last mission."

Alfred looked at the two and Omen smiled, "We already know your name but we'd like you to tell us yourself anyway."

Alfred raised an eyebrow but he looked slightly amused, "My name is Alfred Pennyworth. It's nice to meet you master Omen, master Hollow."

Hollow mentally sighed, "You don't have to be formal with us, you can just call us by our normal names."

Bruce looked at the two, "We don't even know your normal names."

Omen shrugged, "As far as we're concerned Omen and Hollow are our real names."

Bruce's eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"

The two looked at each other and Hollow crossed his arms, "Ni verŝajne ne povos kaŝi ĝin de li por ĉiam." (We probably won't be able to hide it from him forever.)

Omen frowned, "Mi scias, sed se li ekscios, kiu ni estas, li demandos al ni, kio okazis al ni, kaj li estos en danĝero." (I know, but if he finds out who we are he'll ask us what happened to us and he'll be in danger.)

Hollow thought for a moment before he turned to Bruce, "If we tell you who we are you might find something out that you won't like. You might even be in danger, do you still want to know who we are?"

Bruce nodded, "I'm prepared for what might happen."

Omen nodded before he walked over to Bruce's computer and his hands flew across the keyboard. Once he was done he looked at Bruce, "If you press enter then both of our files will pop up. We want to ask something before that though."

Bruce looked at him curiously, "What would that be?"

"We'd like to go home rather than staying at the mountain, we're still thinking about whether or not to join the team."

Bruce thought for a moment before he nodded, "Fine, as long as you actually go back to the mountain then I don't have a problem with it."

The two nodded and went to the zeta tubes, they didn't want to be there when Bruce found out who they were. Once they were gone Bruce looked at the computer for a second before he pressed enter. When he looked at them he froze, at first it was because he recognized Richard's name.

Then he realized that Danny had gone missing twelve years ago, Richard went missing eight years ago. The last pictures of them were taken not long before they disappeared, there was something else though. When Danny went missing his parents never really tried to find him, they just continued their work as scientists.

Alfred had also been looking at the files and he was just as shocked, those were the two boys that had been standing next to them? Bruce quickly put his cowl on and went to the zeta tubes, he needed answers for what was going on. When he got to the mountain the team went to greet him and looked at him curiously.

"Where are Omen and Hollow?"

Megan pointed behind her, "They went to their rooms." Batman quickly headed toward their rooms and he opened each door, they were already gone.

He turned to the team, "The next time you see them tell me immediately."

Red Arrow looked slightly pissed, "They did something bad didn't they, I knew we couldn't trust them."

Batman felt the urge to scowl, "They didn't do anything, it's what someone else did." Batman left the room and went to the zeta tubes while everyone looked at each other. They had no clue what Batman meant by that but they wanted to find out, they just didn't know how they'd do that.
