Ch: 144 [Bruce’s prediction]

[2 days later]

It's been 2 days since the battle where Ra's al Ghul died. Talia has already sent information on the latest development to all the league members who were outside, on missions, informing them about the change in the leadership and ordering the major group leaders for an emergency conference that would take place in a week. They were to gather on Nanda Parbat within the week. She also ordered them to keep quiet about the death of the demon head to avoid unnecessary problems at this critical point.

Meanwhile, Bruce didn't waste time and started checking all the ledgers and information available in Ra's room. He discovered lots of interesting things about what Ra's been up to recently. Most of the info was about assassinations, spying, manipulating world leaders, etc. Then, there was the list of the kids, who were brought to the base from orphanages. Just as he predicted, it wasn't just his father... Ra's was using many other powerful people to provide him with kids who showed some talents or promising talent at a young age.

"It would seem, Ra's wasn't just training assassins," Diana, who was helping Bruce sort out the information said.

Bruce closed his file and looked at her, "That's obvious. He must have trained various talents and spread them all over the world to be his eyes and ears."

"Yup. But isn't it too many of them?" Diana asked.

Bruce took out another book filled with lots of names, "The League was always bigger than you would expect. They are everywhere and could be anyone. From our neighbor to our driver to our cleaner. And they are trained so well that they are practically invisible to normal humans. The League of Assassins has existed for hundreds of years, so who knows how many members it has in total? It would take too long just to count them. Talia has already called the meeting, so, we will get a rough gist soon enough."

"What are you going to do next now that you are the new leader of the League? Will you go to Infinity Island or return to the city after stabilizing the situation?" Diana asked as she stacked some documents.

"Infinity Island sounds interesting. But first, I need to stabilize the situation here and make some changes. Then, I'll make sure that Thawne doesn't do stupid shit like blowing up the entire Metropolis," Bruce replied as he leaned back on the chair and stretched his arms and a large yawn escaped his lips.

"You think Barry is ready to face him?" She asked with a worried face.

"Ready or not, Barry needs to face him sooner or later. Or, I'll just find him and kill him before he could do any more chaos."

"The metahuman army?" She asked while tapping the table with her finger.

"I have already prepared for such a situation. You see, back in the other world, there were also metahumans. Pamela and I have already made a universal cure for that. One shot will turn them into a regular human. So, if we spread them through the air, then even Thawne would lose his army. And if my calculations are correct, every metahuman within the city radius will become human. Now comes the difficult part, Thawne came from the future, so, he'll know about this cure and will act accordingly. So, I will use this..." Bruce leaned forward and took a file, handing it to Diana.

He continued, "Ra's kept track of every single metahuman in Gotham and Metropolis. All I need to do is give the cure to the assassins and unleash them out there. They'll track them down and shoot them with the cure. And considering the number of assassins I have under my thumb, it won't take more than a day or two to complete it."

Diana read the contents of the file. She nodded in satisfaction, "But Bruce, Thawne might use the nuclear bomb if he gets a wisp of it. You might endanger millions of lives."

Bruce smiled confidently, "Don't worry about that. My eyes are everywhere and considering it's a nuclear bomb, there's only one place he can launch it from."

"A.R.G.U.S. Base?" Diana guessed. "But they must have a backup plan..."

"Yes. Remember the Plutonium shipment we tracked back then when we were tracking Lex's activities? That shipment went missing after Lex's death. If I were to guess, that's their backup plan. If Thawne fails, Lex will activate the backup plan. In short, we will need two teams, one will go after Thawne and the other will go after Lex."

Bruce nodded, "Lady Shiva... So, that's where she hid herself."

"You know her?" Talia asked in surprise.

"Doesn't matter. I'll tame her sooner or later," Bruce replied confidently.

Talia shook her head, "No one tamed her before! Not even my father! And considering the untainted Lazarus Pit on that Island and other ancient magic, we don't even know what kind of power she has gained after all these years."

Bruce grinned, "That makes it even more interesting. By the way, are you perhaps worried about me?" He teased.

Talia frowned as she got up and replied, "Worry? No way! I am just warning you! If you die there, then the League belongs to me!" She stomped away angrily as Bruce laughed behind her.
