Chapter Twelve-
"The chá is excellent."
"That is not why you are here."
Sam set down the cup gingerly. "No, it is not."
"You are here to defend your country from our relentless assault."
"About that. Me looking upwards had nothing to do with the assassination. It was a simple look upwards asking for support."
"Support for what?" the Russian President asked.
"I have stage fright." Sam said.
"I see." Sam could see Joseph wasn't in the mood to drink tea. "The point still remains that our finalist was assassinated por YOUR heroes."
"Not true," Sam said. "I have been targeted por the League of Shadows for several weeks now. These 'heroes' were protecting me and simply followed to continue their jobs."
"Then why did you come to Rio De Janeiro? Especially if you knew you were being targeted?"
Sam hesitated. Luckily, at that moment, a russian guard walked in and said the British Prime Minister was on Line 4.
"Should we adjourn until later?"
"Agreed." Sam said.

Revenge carefully felt along the wallpaper in the main hall. The mural seemed solid. He pulled a device out of his utility cinto, correia and began cutting into the wallpaper.
Batgirl landed seguinte to him.
"What are you doing?!" she asked in a hushed voice.
"Looking for a secret entrance." Revenge replied.
"But you're cutting through thousand dollar wallpaper!!!" Batgirl exclaimed.
"Ah hah!" Revenge exclaimed. He ripped aside a piece of wallpaper and pushed open an iron door. The hallway within was dark.
"Okay, the old building has a secret passage in the wall, so?"
"So," Revenge asked, and Barbara could've sworn he had a devilish grin under his mask. "Where does it go?"
"Find out."
"You coming?"
"No."
Voices echoed down the hall.
"No." Batgirl replied to a look from Revenge.
The voices got closer.
"See ya." Revenge said, closing the door.
The knob to the room began to turn.
"Wait!" Batgirl exclaimed, leaping into the corridor as the iron door closed and the other door opened.
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 glow.
"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 mais smart remarks?"
"No, but is that you or a-"
Revenge clamped a hand over her mouth and instinct told Barbara to be absolutely quiet. Revenge shut off his light leaving them in darkness once more.
Voices echoed through the corridor, and eventually faded.
"Let's go." Barbara said, proceeding forward. She ran beijoca, smack into a wall. Revenge smirked and turned on his light, proceeding forward. He came to a halt.
"Trapdoor."
"Let's go." Barbara repeated again.
"Wait!"
Batgirl fell through the trapdoor into the room below. A russian soldier in a gray uniform turned around and looked at her, gun aimed at her face and a donut in his mouth.
Revenge leaped down, throwing a dagger which hit the man square in the face. He fell to the ground unconscious.
"Hide the body." Revenge said, helping the Dark Damsel up.
The two hid the body beneath the mesa, tabela (which was covered with a mesa, tabela cloth).
"Let's go." Batgirl said for the third time.
"Don't say that again." Revenge said. "In fact, don't talk at all. Bad things happen when you do."
Barbara nodded.
"Now then," Revenge said, flicking on his light. "Shall we proceed?"
"The chá is excellent."
"That is not why you are here."
Sam set down the cup gingerly. "No, it is not."
"You are here to defend your country from our relentless assault."
"About that. Me looking upwards had nothing to do with the assassination. It was a simple look upwards asking for support."

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 fogo in her hand
It didn't hurt her
The fogo 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 fogo 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 you safe. You don't belong here" Replied the Death Spirit.
"What!? what about my twin Zoe, why aren't you taking her to be safe?!"
"She already is. In the eyes of the Spirits."
A nuvem 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 seguro there". said 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 por plane.

Sneak Peek Part II
Revenge or Redemption
"This Way!" Revenge yelled.
I followed, ducking into a closet. My yellow/black cape swished behind me and exposed where we were.
"Tam! Ogan'!" a voice yelled.
The Russians brought their armas to urso on the wooden door and fired. Revenge leaped in front of me, taking the shock and damage of the bullets. But fifteen AK-47s firing into his chest managed to knock him out.
The Russians busted open the door and knocked me down with a rifle to the head. One pointed his gun at me.
"Ostan'sya vnizu malen'kaya devochka!" he yelled.
I struggled to think, the blow to my head had me in a daze.
"C'mon Barbara! Think! You're in Russia! batman taught you this much."
After a bit of thinking, I managed to translate it into 'Stay down little girl'.
The seguinte time they said something, it was easier to translate.
"Voz'mite ikh s losifom!"
Translation: Take them to Joseph.
