This might be the last note I ever write to you. Because you have become a Shephard and I feel more alone than I ever had. I remember you said that the Birds of Prey will stick together but right now I feel like the team is gone. You left me alone, you

were the only people that were my friends and you just left me to a gang of criminals. I have been acting like its okay but it's not, I don't like this one bit and now a Shephard named Orion has gone after me. He knows where the batcave is and shot me to

death. I know people tell me that I have Batman and Red Hood but they're not really my friends you two are. We were talking about how people left us to become Marvel, well you left me to become Shephards. I thought that you would never leave me but I

guess I was naive and stupid to think that. The Shephards don't like vigilantes so I don't think they would like it if their toys were friends with vigilantes. I'm telling you this now because they are criminals and they could be using you guys.

And I know what you're gonna say "the vigs have not respected us or trusted us for years." I know they can be rough to deal with and all but that doesn't mean you just quit. I have no friends now and I know what you must be thinking 'Just because we're in

another gang doesn't mean we're no longer friends' i'm also thinking that but I don't want to get hurt anymore. I care about you guys, I really do. You guys made me feel safe when the world was falling apart, when i'm sad you two always know how to cheer

me up. Not a day goes by when i'm not laughing with you guys but I guess I won't be laughing as much now because my two best friends are gone. I told myself that I wasn't going to write this note to the both of you but I did. I know I seem horrible for

writing this note but I just feel like I needed to get this off my chest. I just don't want to see you guys get hurt by them. I keep telling myself they can handle themselves but what if you can't, what if I lose the two people I care about. What if we

start a war between the Shephards and the Vigilantes then we are left to kill eachother for the people we're loyal to. But if that ever happens I won't fight back, and that I would hope you two wouldn't either. I'm so sorry I drove us this far apart. I

thought we could've lasted for years, and I still do. I'll never stop caring for the both of you. I just don't want to make this climb on my own. If you two leave to go back with your assasin family I wouldn't know what to do. I look back on everything we

have done together. Like Helena's birthday, Canary's Roy crush. And many more that would probably take hours to write down. Even when you guys went undercover for a week I felt alone and sad, now you two are actually gone. I don't know what i'm gonna do.

The Birds of Prey have ended I think and we promised to stick together but now we're not. Please don't let the Shephards hurt you two because I would hunt them down until they leave the Earth and you two come back to me. I'll wait for you two to come back

and when you do I won't be dissapointed or mad, i'll be happy that you two are back. For now I am alone. Helena and Dinah it has been great to become your friend and fight beside you. Please don't let them use you. Writing this note has made me realize

that all of your other friends are in that gang and i'm the only vigilante one now. Go have fun with them, just don't get hurt.

To my two best friends.
