Chapter 60 Servants (2/2)

The moment Gray's words left his mouth the tension in the room became palpable. A formless pressure pressed down on the members of both the League and the Team, and the memory of those rainbow colored eyes that gleamed with death was still fresh in their minds.

The Flash, or Barry Allen looked at Gray with his arms crossed and eyes narrowed. His tone indicated that he of all people were not happy.

And that was saying something.

”And how do you know so much about this Saber character? They called you a Servant, but also a Faker. What are you?”.

Gray picked up his apple and took a bite out of the fruit.

”I don't have to tell you anything”.

”Why you little-”.

The scarlet speedster took a step forward towards Gray, Batman put a hand on his shoulder and looked back at the younger man.

”Take it easy Flash. There is still a lot we don't know about Servants, their characteristics or even the Holy Grail War that J'onn keeps going on about. Gray is our only lead on this. If he doesn't comply, then we can use force”.

Batman used the psychic link Miss Martian had created to talk to his friend, trying to placate the speedster. It worked, although the Flash vanished for a second before talking out a whole bunch of food from Gray's fridge, eating it with a speed that even Gray couldn't match.

Rolling his eyes at the actions of Barry Allen, Gray turned back towards Batman, a smile marred the face of the Pseudo-Servant.

”You do want to get rid of the Servants don't you? Or at the very least, get justice for what they did to Superman, correct?”.

He looked at both Batman and Hawkgirl in particular, both of them noting how his eyes darted to the red markings on both of their hands, rather than anyone else in the group.

Hawkgirl looked down at the red tattoo noting that it still hadn't come off, even after washing her hands so roughly that it broke the skin.

”Don't do that. It'll ruin those hands of yours”.

Shayera Hol raised an eyebrow as Gray took her hand in his own, gaining a slight smile as she looked over at Diana, who frowned when her eyes met the Thanagarian whose hand was entwined with Gray's.

Hawkman frowned but didn't say anything. He and Shayera were having difficulties since the birth of his daughter by another woman. A human woman at that. Their relationship was becoming more strained, as the male started seeing the human woman and Shayera started living at the Wayne Family Manor, as a guest of Alfred rather than Bruce who was standing beside him.

Gray noted the same glimmer on Shayera's tattoo despite her broken skin and smiled at the beautiful redhead before turning towards Batman with a larger smile.

”Do you know what it takes to kill a Servant Batman?”.

He frowned at the use of the world ”kill”, but went along with it for conversation purposes.

”No. I don't”.

Gray's smile grew larger and he picked up a piece of chalk sitting in one of his kitchen drawers, putting his finger towards the roof as he spoke,
