The 'World of Heroes: DC Style" RPG Season II

[DarkKnightJRK]

"How come I have the super-speed, yet you beat me to where the Joker is?"

I turned and saw Clark standing in front of me.

"Years of practice, Clark. Now, if we can scan the place with X-Ray vision and look for both Joker and Johnathon Crane..."

[SuperFerret]

"How come I have the super-speed, yet you beat me to where the Joker is?"

I turned and saw Clark standing in front of me.

"Years of practice, Clark. Now, if we can scan the place with X-Ray vision and look for both Joker and Johnathon Crane..."

"We? Did Alfred buy you those new X-Ray googles you've been wanting for so long?"Superman jested, elicting a dark scowl from Batman.

"Alfred's dead."

The news hit Clark like a ton of bricks. "Bruce," he stammered, "I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean.."

OOC: I'm not sure where either Joker or Crane is exactly, and I don't want to put them somewhere where they don't want to be. Hope you don't mind the slight bunnying.

[rigel7soldiers]

"Nice entrence," I sarcastically reply, still walking and tracking Crane's movements, "keep up and tell me what's going on."

This is the last thing I need, one moment I was...flirting...with Dinah, and then her EX just HAD to show up...

"Two things. First: Lighten up, man. Second: Black Adam has Allied himself with Mordru, the Shade, and Deathstroke the Terminator. Pat Dugan and Jade have already fallen. The big fall. They're coming for us. All of us. I picked these up, though, and they'll be a big help."

I said, showing him the mirror gun and the freeze gun.

"You, Superman, are in great danger yourself, due to your unique weakness to magic. But I've got a plan, and a certain ally. Captain Marvel, Jr. has already been alerted. We just need to contact him..."

[DarkKnightJRK]

EDIT.

[DarkKnightJRK]

"You, Superman, are in great danger yourself, due to your unique weakness to magic. But I've got a plan, and a certain ally. Captain Marvel, Jr. has already been alerted. We just need to contact him..."

"So what exactly is your plan? Recruit as many heroes you can get to take them on?"

[SuperFerret]

"So what exactly is your plan? Recruit as many heroes you can get to take them on?"

"That sounds like a start, but we'll need a plan to engage them. I'm willing to go and help prepare. Batman, you can handle both the Joker and Crane, correct?"

[rigel7soldiers]

"That sounds like a start, but we'll need a plan to engage them. I'm willing to go and help prepare. Batman, you can handle both the Joker and Crane, correct?"

"Well, the initial plan was to alert as many heroes as possible, but that'll do nicely. Aren't you guys scared or anything, though?"

[DarkKnightJRK]

"That sounds like a start, but we'll need a plan to engage them. I'm willing to go and help prepare. Batman, you can handle both the Joker and Crane, correct?"

"Yeah, prepare at the Watchtower. I need to keep watch here in Gotham. If you need me, you know how to call."

"Well, the initial plan was to alert as many heroes as possible, but that'll do nicely. Aren't you guys scared or anything, though?"

"There are far more scarier things in this world than some megalomaniacs who claim to be all-powerful but are beaten every time. As long as we plan ahead and keep some ace cards up our sleeves, there should be nothing to be overtly frightened about."

[batnkevlar]

*Hal notices a signal and turns to Alan*

"Sorry, Alan, duty calls. Keep this up while I'm gone."

*Hal streaks across the sky and appears next to Batman*

"Batman, what's the problem?"

[SuperFerret]

"Hal, I think we have a bigger problem, can we teleport to the Watchtower? All of us but Batman, for now."

[Phantasm]

OOC: Bats was flirting with Dinah??!
wow! LOL!!

Anyway, who am I supposed to send as backup? the JLers?

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Hal, I think we have a bigger problem, can we teleport to the Watchtower? All of us but Batman, for now."

"No, Hal, I need to you to go to Wayne Pharmacudicals. Look for Dinah there, she has the cure for the virus around Gotham. Just activate the machine and take it across Gotham, it will counter-act the virus and kill it."

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Bats was flirting with Dinah? WTF? I'm gonna kick his ass for that one day...

[SuperFerret]

"No, Hal, I need to you to go to Wayne Pharmacudicals. Look for Dinah there, she has the cure for the virus around Gotham. Just activate the machine and take it across Gotham, it will counter-act the virus and kill it."

"Ok, then just Mid-nite and I will go and warn the rest." Superman turned towards Mid-nite, "Do you want to split up, with you going to the Watchtower while I try and warn the others in person?"

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Bats was flirting with Dinah? WTF? I'm gonna kick his ass for that one day...

OOC: Bat's didn't mean to do it, it just...happened. It's a little plot-point, he's a bit confused about himself at this point. Besides, it's not like you two were actually DATING or anything...:o

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Does Clark know that the Parasite is alive yet?

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Nope. Won't he be surprised?

[Spike_x1]

OOC: He'd probably be a tad PO'ed too. :D

[Supergirl]

Calm down girl. You need to get a grip, there will be time to cry later. Right now you have more important things to take care of. Bart just seemed to be one of many targets, there may be more heroes in danger now. She picked herself out of the ball she had curled into, and wiped the tears off her face. Her mascara had run down her swollen and bruised cheeks. Her right eye was blackened, and traces of blood were under her nose and on her lower lip. She could still taste the copper in her mouth. The rest of her body ached from her battle with Black Adam.

"Hey, Super-babe, you've seen better days... but I guess all four of us aren't so hot right now eh?"

"Shut the hell up Gar. Bart is dead, and his killers are still out there somewhere, this is no time to crack jokes."

"Whoa, what now? Bart can't be dead, can he? What happened?"

"Well lets piece together what we do know. I got taken out by Black Adam. Why he attacked us I don't know, but the guy packs a wallop."

"And I got beat by Deathstroke."

"I don't know who got me, some codger in a top hat though."

"Bart and I were attacked in my room, simultaneously by Slade and Adam. Adam drew me away from the tower and is the reason for all of my injuries, Deathstroke and this other guy must have killed Bart while Adam fought me. Parasite attacked the both of us, saying something about needing us alive or something. I got back and the villains were disappearing, and I found Bart's costume empty on the floor. He must have merged with the speed force, funny how we talked about that at dinner." Tears started rolling down Kara's cheek again. "No matter, I have to get word to other heroes. I'm going to the watchtower to see if I can find Superman, I'll be back by the morning."

[TheCorpulent1]

The Shade bristled when Mordru revealed who their infiltrator had been. "I'll certainly have to take care of this legacy besmircher."- Shade said in a low voice. He gripped the pommel of his cane tightly until his knuckles turned white. He continued whispering- "Charles McNider would never have been caught in such an embarassing manner as this new upstart did. Oh, nononono! This other 'doctor' seems to have gotten his licence from a cereal box. We'll see when we meet again, Dr. Mid-Nite; and meet we shall!"Black Adam's fist tightened until his knuckles were white. Of course it would be Mid-Nite. It was Mid-Night who drew him away from Khandaq so that his cohorts could turn his own people against him. When he and Mid-Nite crossed paths again, he would be sure to leave said paths covered in the good doctor's entrails. But what he and the others were doing was bigger than Mid-Nite now. He had no time for petty squabbles; this whole thing would fall apart if the Alliance's members began running off for revenge against any heroes who had personally hurt them. Like a cancer, more would always arise to take the place of any heroes they cut out. No, much better to strike at the source and destroy the heroes altogether.
Shade's rambling was interrupted when Mordru called to him and caught the emerald that was flung at him. He looked at the emerald as if admiring a precious stone. "I'm touched by the trust you've put in me, thank you. I must say, this confrontation was more exhilirating than I expected it to be. Apparently the Maid of Steel gave you quite a workout, Adam. Still aprehensive about these so called children?""I was never 'apprehensive,'" Black Adam replied, "and the fight with Supergirl was going fine until Parasite showed up." He turned to Mordru. "Speaking of which, we should endeavor to learn more about Parasite's interest in us. He claimed he only wanted to keep Supergirl and me from killing each other, for some reason."

[Twitch]

"The damm sun is killing my neck."

I pulled my cloak tighter around my face and kept going. I had used up three days food and it felt like I hadn't made half way yet. My legs were burning from waking high hills of sorching sands.

"Got to get shade."

The sun won the battle and I started seeing mirages. I saw one of my most darkest fears.

"You can't escape me boy, I made you!"

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

I started running further and further until I tripped and I cried

OCC:Hey rigel, I changed my name again :o

[Charlie No-One]

OOC: Oh PLEASE..on all that is good and holy..tell me that isn't what happens in the movie! *cries* NOW I KNOW! :( :( :( :(

OOC: Sorry..I ment it as a joke...didn't mean to spoil anything..this isn't what happenes in the movie...it is way different.:joker:

Crane stepped forward to the Joker; he had a small child in his hand. I have to get the baby first. The Joker was ranting about Jonathan and his actions. Scarecrow quickly tossed a smoke bomb at the madman and rushed over to the baby.




”It ends tonight, Joker. Gotham doesn’t deserve this,” the doctor squawked.



OOC: Can no one see me until the Joker makes his response to this?

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite touched down on the roof of the warehouse. He opened a skylight window and floated down to meet Deadshot.

"Both Black Adam and Supergirl are alive. I kept 'em from poundin' each other's brains out, although I can still hear ringing in my ears." Rudy sat in a chair at the center table and put his feet up. "Y'know Lawton, just a thought fer the future, but next time, can ya tell me specifically which one of them ya want me to keep alive?

"Sorry Rudy, but the less you know the better... at least for now anyway." Deadshot stood up and walked out of the room. "Rest up. You're gonna need your strength."

But the Parasite was already asleep and snoring.

[Keyser Soze]

The Scarecrow? What was that buffoon doing here!? After being stunned by the smoke grenade, The Joker spotted him running towards him. No, not towards him. Towards...

The Joker took out his gun, pointing it at the head of the baby he was cradling in his arms. he cocked the barrell, ready to pull the trigger.

"Not a step closer, Squarecrow. Take another step towards me and it'll be this kid's brains polluting the water supply."

The Scarecrow faltered.

"Ha ha, I thought so. For all your tough talk and posturing, you're too squeamish to get the job done. Oh, God forbid anything happens to any innocent little children..."

The Joker tauntingly dangled the baby over the edge of the barrier.

"If I were to drop this baby now, it would fall into the reservoir and drown. So you are powerless to do anything to stop me."

The Joker pointed his gun at The Scarecrow.

"And what's to stop me from shooting you right now? HA HA! For all your smart talk, all your books, and all your oh-so precious scientific research, you're just a schmuck in a silly costume, who doesn't have the grapes to carry things through. And to think Batman ever saw you as a threat. You're good, Crane, I'll give you that. But you're no Joker. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

[DarkKnightJRK]

I finally found the end to my trail and found out just what was happening: Crane's not helping Joker, he's trying stop him!

I slipped into the shadows, trying to find a good point to attack Joker. When he started to dangle the baby in his arms over the resvoir, I was on a pipe 10 feet above Joker.

"You're good, Crane, but you're no Joker!" The bastard yelled out and started laughing his demented cackle.

It's time to act.

I drop on him and grab the baby before he dropped it. I rolled away from Joker with the baby cradled in my arms.

"Joker." I looked at our surroundings, barely anything changed since we first fought here, so many years ago. "I didn't take you for the nostalgic type."

[rigel7soldiers]

"Ok, then just Mid-nite and I will go and warn the rest." Superman turned towards Mid-nite, "Do you want to split up, with you going to the Watchtower while I try and warn the others in person?"



"There's strength in numbers, and my recently acquired guns will help considerably. They'll come for one of us eventually, so we should stick together."

[Karem-Knight]

People at the Iceberug we’re terrified byt the sight of Two Face.

“What am I doing!” Harvey said

“JUSTICE Dent they all know what they’re doing!”

“How do you know…” closing his eyes dent got the coin and flipped

“The Jury has spoken” Two Face said

“Each of you shall receive…” He paused a huge silence in the room as he opened his eyes and saw the verdict.

“DEATH!” Two Face said getting his two guns out and firing randomly his men followed
men and woman died from a bullets then men searched every scare inch of the lounge until EVERYONE died.

When they we’re all dead Two Face and his men went out side.

“You know what too do?” Harvey said

“Yes boss” said a thug

“Get out your grenades” He said

“Pull” he said taking off the cap

“And throw” he said throwing his and just as they relaxed the lounge burnt too dust.

“I like!” Two Face said.

[batnkevlar]

"No, Hal, I need to you to go to Wayne Pharmacudicals. Look for Dinah there, she has the cure for the virus around Gotham. Just activate the machine and take it across Gotham, it will counter-act the virus and kill it."

"Gotcha, Bruce."

*Hal flies to Wayne Pharmacudicals, busting down the front doors yelling:*

"DINAH!"

[Keyser Soze]

"Oh, Batsy, you old romantic, I see you haven't forgotten our first date."

The Joker cackled mockingly at Batman.

"But, you have forgotten one thing," he continued, "That i always have a Plan B. That little baby you're holding in your arms, look inside the sheet he's wrapped in."

Batman glanced down. There was a grenade inside.

"And, in our tustle, this seems to have become..dislodged," cackled The Joker.

He opened up his hand, revealing the pin from the grnade. With a malicious grin, he threw the pin into the water.

"Well, thanks to you party poopers, I odn't have the time to pollute the water supply. I'll just have to make a grand exit. I wouldn't make any sudden movements, Batsy, or baby might go boom-boom. HA HA!"

The Joker hopped back into the crop duster, and turned the ignition key, preparing to take off.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: I want a big battle coming up, Green Lantern vs. whoever... Black Adam would be kool, cuz I thik I could take him, maybe Deathstroke, maybe Slade...

[DarkKnightJRK]

I quickly grab the grenade from the nessle of blankets and throw it out in the oppisate direction.

BOOM.

There will need to be some repairs for those pipes, but besides that, nothing too extensive.

"Crane? Still there?"

"Yes, I'll be all right."

"Good. We need to bring the baby to Gotham PD and then head back to Wayne Pharmacudicals, make sure that Hal's spreading the cure."

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: I want a big battle coming up, Green Lantern vs. whoever... Black Adam would be kool, cuz I thik I could take him, maybe Deathstroke, maybe Slade...

OOC: Slade Wilson is D'Stroke.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Besides, Canary and I have plans for ole' Slade. :batman: :D

[Tropico]

As Mordru left to his quarters Shade's face lit up and he smiled devishly. He walked over to Deathstroke. "Slade, old man, would you happen to have some barbiturates? Or preferably some gas that leaves the subjects in a suggestible state? There's something I want to try, you know...to pass the time while we come up with the next target."

He cocked his head inquisitively at the master assassin.

[twylight]

"Gotcha, Bruce."

*Hal flies to Wayne Pharmacudicals, busting down the front doors yelling:*

"DINAH!"


Dinah rolled the vial along her hand, thinking. "Why do I have thought's of Ollie? It doesn't make sense, of all the guy's I dated...."

"DINAH!"

She tilted her head, it was faint, coming from the main level. But she recognized it as Hal. At least it was someone she knew.

Standing up she ran out into the hallway, looking it up and down for an exit to the main level.

"HAL! I'M DOWN HERE IN!"

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Slade Wilson is D'Stroke.

OOC: Yeah, I meant to say Shade...

[Tropico]

OOC:Holy arch-nemesis, Batman! Everybody's now gunning for Slade!:D

[batnkevlar]

Dinah rolled the vial along her hand, thinking. "Why do I have thought's of Ollie? It doesn't make sense, of all the guy's I dated...."

"DINAH!"

She tilted her head, it was faint, coming from the main level. But she recognized it as Hal. At least it was someone she knew.

Standing up she ran out into the hallway, looking it up and down for an exit to the main level.

"HAL! I'M DOWN HERE IN!"

*Hal phases through the floor and lands near Black Canary*

"What do you need me to do?"

[Karem-Knight]

Jim Gordan might be what you call a legend of Gotham city, for a while was the only good cop in Gotham City he helped Batman take down so many criminals, His 1st wife left him, his 2nd was killed by The joker who also crippled his daughter. And one day he arrived home

“Hello Jim” said a familiar voice

“Harvey?” Jim said in disbelief

Two Face turned on the light

“Harvey is gone ever since Maroni shoved acid up my face and when the joker did it again!” He said pointing a gun too his friend

“Harvey..” Jim said

“Sit down buddy” Harvey said Jim sat down

“I came here too sort this out, you and me have been divided for a while ever since the long Halloween”

“ Don’t remind me Harvey that was the most worrying thing I had too put up with” Jim said

“Yeah but I’m the only one who finished off the roman and that book worm traitor, you and Bats didn’t help me I had too lower myself with The Joker, Scarecrow, Cabwoman and a bunch of other freaks!” Jim looked at Harvey in disgust

“Harvey Dent belived in Gotham City, he didn’t lower himself the other freaks did!” Gordan said

“Jim, I came too sort things out..” Jim intrupted

“You teamed up with the man no wait the THING that killed my wife and crippled my daughter, and you expect me too forgive you?” Harvey looked down in shame, then raised his head

“Jim I’m sorry but I did what needed too be done, and I’m sorry for what I’ve done recently…

“Yeah just blow up an acid factory while your at it.” Jim said

“Look Jim you know Justice had two sides one way or another it ends with a verdict. But remember Jim, gotham will be what it was before the criminal and corrupt rose!” Two face said leaving the gun on the table,

“Bye Jimbo” he said when he left The retired cop got the gun, it wasn’t even loaded. Gordon smiled.

[twylight]

*Hal phases through the floor and lands near Black Canary*

"What do you need me to do?"

"Batman wants you to turn on this machine." SHe leads him into the rooms and motions to the machine in the corner. "And fly it over Gotham so the gas can disperse and cure the virus." She paused "That's the theory. Hopefully it will work."

[Keyser Soze]

OOC: Woah, you're actually going to let me get away! that's a pleasant surprise. Actually, this works out better, because I'm going on holiday soon, and want to finish up my current arcs.

"So long, suckers! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The Joker took to the skies, fleeing the scene in his plane. It was a shame that he didn't get to dump his Joker Venom in the water supply. But he did get one over on Batsy, which was always a bonus.

"Oh, Gotham City is getting rather tiresome. What I need is a change of scenery."

He decided to head to Liberty Island. He'd personally oversee the construction of his House Of Fun.

"Farewell Gotham! You haven't heard the last of The Joker! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

[Harlekin]

OOC: Bring it on ya putzes...

IC:
"Intriguing..." Deathstroke responded as he grabbed a vial attached to his belt and handed it over to the Shade "This'll work on anybody ranging from Joe Schmuck next door to the Big Blue. It doesn't come cheap." Inwardly the old mercenary Slade Wilson smiled.

"Try not to mess with it too much."

[Charlie No-One]

OOC: Sorry KS, I need to do one more thing.


“I think you can handle that, Batman. You said you would let me do one thing before I go back to Arkham, and here it comes now,” said Crane. A chopper rose above the reservoir. The twisted doctor leaped at it and landed with grace on the deck of the chopper. “I’ll be back with in the hour,”

After about 15 minutes Crane was nearing the Joker’s plane, "Farewell Gotham! You haven't heard the last of The Joker! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" cackled the Joker. “Gotham isn’t quite finished with you either, Joker,”

A flick of the wrist and a grenade was sailing right in the Joker’s direction.

BOOOM!!!!!!

Pieces of plane and debris floated into the cold depths of the ocean.

“Back to Gotham, Midge,” Crane said to his driver

[Keyser Soze]

OOC: Well that sort of fudges my exit from the RPG. I'll need some time to think up a Plan B. Oh, and Joker's real name isn't Jack Napier, it's still unknown.

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Bring it on ya putzes...

IC:
"Intriguing..." Deathstroke responded as he grabbed a vial attached to his belt and handed it over to the Shade "This'll work on anybody ranging from Joe Schmuck next door to the Big Blue. It doesn't come cheap." Inwardly the old mercenary Slade Wilson smiled.

"Try not to mess with it too much."
OOC: Geez, Slade may as well open up his own pharmacy. He's got a chemical for everything.

IC: Black Adam cocked an eyebrow at the exchange between the Shade and Deathstroke. "What are you up to, Shade?"

[Charlie No-One]

OOC: Well that sort of fudges my exit from the RPG. I'll need some time to think up a Plan B...

OOC:Sorry about that. I had to get revenge some how ;)

[Keyser Soze]

OOC: Can you change the Jack thing though. That's bugging me more than anything else. His name isn't Jack Napier, that's a movie thing.

[Charlie No-One]

OOC: Can you change the Jack thing though. That's bugging me more than anything else. His name isn't Jack Napier, that's a movie thing.

I ment that as my chopper driver. Sorry I will change that. (You're not with me at the moment either..if that is what you think)

[Keyser Soze]

OOC: Oh, I thought you were in the chopper alone. I thought you were saying it as a reply to me saying "Farewell Gotham". You know "back to Gotham you go, Jack Napier". Oh well, sorry about that.

[Charlie No-One]

OOC: Oh, I thought you were in the chopper alone. I thought you were saying it as a reply to me saying "Farewell Gotham". You know "back to Gotham you go, Jack Napier". Oh well, sorry about that.

No rpoblem..I should have thought about the name...didn't even catch it.

[Tropico]

OOC: Geez, Slade may as well open up his own pharmacy. He's got a chemical for everything.

IC: Black Adam cocked an eyebrow at the exchange between the Shade and Deathstroke. "What are you up to, Shade?"

"Thank you very much, Slade."- Shade said wile looking at the vial and smiling. "Don't worry, I'm not going to 'spend it all in one place.' This is to continue a the misdirection theme I have been going for. Since you incapacitated the surveillance system after we left the room...you DID do that, right? But, of course; I should know better."

Shade turned to Black Adam- "Anyway, the only witness of my power usage has been taken care of. Beast Boy DID see me, but the 'raven' that attacked him was like his teammate's and came from the opposite side. I only used a few shadow bolts which I hope isn't enough for him to put two and two together. The next shadow user I'm going to look up will add to another person's grief, it should be like a sweet cordial after a succulent meal. I don't want to ruin the surprise, though. I'll tell you after my first session."- he finished.

OOC: No "outloud" guessing, please. You Alliance guys already know or have an idea of who it is, so...shush!:D:up:

[DarkKnightJRK]

I stared wide-eyed as Crane destroyed Joker's plane. I don't think it was the fact that he probably killed Joker that shocked and angered me (hell, I might figuritvely dance the jig if the "man" turned out dead), but that this was a completely 180 turn on Crane's part.

As plane landed back to the Reservoir, I saw Crane step out with a grim yet satisfyed look on his face. I walked towards him, ready to put the cuffs on him.

[PFunk2]

John turned his attention to the plane containing Joker, only to see it explode in mid air. And afterwards using his powers to send a message to both Hal, and the JL general.

"Yo. Folks. What's up with the vaccine? Can I take down the wall surrounding Gotham now?"

Then switches to a private line aimed towards Batman only.

"Bats. You have some time to confirm, some info I've heard on Slades recent actions?"

Then he looks up at the sky. thining to himself. "If what this it true then I'm in some way responsible for this."

I hear John ringing in my comm and press my hand on it to answer.

"Hal should be handling the vaccine right now. But...what has Slade done now? Come over here to Gotham Reservoir, I'll talk to you face-to-face."

[batnkevlar]

"Batman wants you to turn on this machine." SHe leads him into the rooms and motions to the machine in the corner. "And fly it over Gotham so the gas can disperse and cure the virus." She paused "That's the theory. Hopefully it will work."

"Be back... in, um... be back in a flash!"

*Hal shoots out the roof and into the sky with the machine and turns it on above the exat middle of Gotham. With his ring, he wills a giant fan and spreads the antidote all across Gotham...*

"Free antidote for everyone!"

[PFunk2]

I hear John ringing in my comm and press my hand on it to answer.

"Hal should be handling the vaccine right now. But...what has Slade done now? Come over here to Gotham Reservoir, I'll talk to you face-to-face."

"Understood Bats." John says over the private line. "I'll meet you their the instant I help Hal desprise the vaccine. This shouldn't take long." then he adds. "Because what I have to tell you about Slade isn't good."

[PFunk2]

"Be back... in, um... be back in a flash!"

*Hal shoots out the roof and into the sky with the machine and turns it on above the exat middle of Gotham. With his ring, he wills a giant fan and spreads the antidote all across Gotham...*

"Free antidote for everyone!"

John appears along side him. "Hmmm. That'll work.'" John says to himself aloud "I was going to put it in a series of emerad eggs, and then airburst them over Gotham. Space them equally to cover the entire city equally. But I see theirs no need for them now." John says to Hal.

"I'll take down the wall as soon as the vaccine is well in effect. Until then, later." And on that point he leave Hal and flys off to another part of the city.

[Charlie No-One]

Silver shackles held Crane were he was. “You know that was what you were waiting for since the Joker was ‘created’. I was the only one that could go through with it, Batman” Crane said as two men in white coats took Crane into a van in a straight jacket.

LATER

Lying in his own cell, immobilized in a straight jacket, Jonathan watched the different nurses and doctors go around Arkham Asylum. A cop approached the naked room and the door slowly creaked open.

“You’re going to die,” the cop started.
“Oh really?”
“Yes. We knew it since the day you came here so many years ago. It is just finally taking action now,”
“You’re name is Amanda, right?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Amanda, I am glad that you are alive to live another day before some other crazy kills you. Please leave me,”

The door slowly closed behind Amanda. The former Scarecrow sat and cried. My life is going to end.

An hour later, Amanda came back in to untie Crane. He tried to sleep, but a CLINK hit the floor of his prison. A small blast hit the back of the room and the wall crumbled. Looking out of the new hole, he saw a piece of paper.

Until I can finish the job myself, try and smile.

JOKER!

The smell of freedom never smelled so good.

[DarkKnightJRK]

I heard from the police band: There's been a break-out in Arkham. Apparently, someone felt sorry for his death sentence and freed Johnathon Crane.

I followed him a few blocks away from Arkham. I finally let myself be noticed when Crane slipped into a dark alley. Crane, obviously, gasped from fright.

"I scared the master of fear?" I asked.

"Yes, laugh it up, why don't you." He replyed. "So, back to Arkham then, huh? That is, until I get the needle, right?"

"I thought about it. But...with you helping to stop the plague and trying to stop Joker at the Reservoir, I think there may be some hope for you, Crane.

"So here is my proposition: I let you go, right now. I'll just tell any police I meet that you slipped away. You will lie low, try to live a good life. But, I'll be watching, and if I hear you so much as jaywalk, let alone use your fear gas, I'll put you in the chair myself.

"Do you understand?" He nods and runs from my sight. I hope my words will pursuade him to lead a better life. I think it's possible, though I have been wrong before...

"John," I call out to my comm, "if you're still interested in talking, I'll be on the roof of Wayne Towers." With that I get the Batmobile to me and drive back to Wayne Towers and back to my penthouse.

[Supergirl]

Calm down girl. You need to get a grip, there will be time to cry later. Right now you have more important things to take care of. Bart just seemed to be one of many targets, there may be more heroes in danger now. She picked herself out of the ball she had curled into, and wiped the tears off her face. Her mascara had run down her swollen and bruised cheeks. Her right eye was blackened, and traces of blood were under her nose and on her lower lip. She could still taste the copper in her mouth. The rest of her body ached from her battle with Black Adam.

"Hey, Super-babe, you've seen better days... but I guess all four of us aren't so hot right now eh?"

"Shut the hell up Gar. Bart is dead, and his killers are still out there somewhere, this is no time to crack jokes."

"Whoa, what now? Bart can't be dead, can he? What happened?"

"Well lets piece together what we do know. I got taken out by Black Adam. Why he attacked us I don't know, but the guy packs a wallop."

"And I got beat by Deathstroke."

"I don't know who got me, some codger in a top hat though."

"Bart and I were attacked in my room, simultaneously by Slade and Adam. Adam drew me away from the tower and is the reason for all of my injuries, Deathstroke and this other guy must have killed Bart while Adam fought me. Parasite attacked the both of us, saying something about needing us alive or something. I got back and the villains were disappearing, and I found Bart's costume empty on the floor. He must have merged with the speed force, funny how we talked about that at dinner." Tears started rolling down Kara's cheek again. "No matter, I have to get word to other heroes. I'm going to the watchtower to see if I can find Superman, I'll be back by the morning."
Kara flew to the Watch Tower, taking out her anger and pain on meteors along the way, one she pounded hard enough so that it left a new crater on the moon. She got to the Watch Tower, shortly after her cousin and Dr. Mid-Nite. "Kal! Oh god Kal!"

"Kara, what's wrong? Calm down."

Kara buried her head on Superman's shoulder as he hugged her. "It's Bart. Bart, he, he's dead. Oh god. He's dead!" Supergirl again burst into tears, crying into Superman's cape.

OOC: SuperFerret I hope you don't mind the minimal bunnying I just did.

[Nightwing.]

OOC: Yeah, thanks.:D
Where's Nightwing? He got me into this whole speedforce thing. Wonder where he's going with this.

OOC:im here sorry bout this ive been lost in the speed force my heads all messed up

IC: "Flash this is J'onn. You live in a strange world and im kinda freaked out so if you could hurry and get me out of here id be very appreciative." J'onn looked around as the tower disappeared. He could see streaks of red and yellow. "Wally is that you?"

Black Adam had an idea of what the Shade had planned, but he didn't really care at the moment. Much as he hated to admit it, he was hurting. He needed to rest and recover his strength. He told the others as much, then retired to one of the Tower's many rooms with instructions to get him if anything came up.

OOC: Alas, it's Parasite's draining effects that really took it out of him. Remember, his power source is mysterious and magical, not the big ball of radiant energy that's always overhead. :p

I didn't know Bartholomew Allen very well. But this may have hurt me as much as Kara. It's all my fault, in the long run. It's my fault Adam eas away from Khandaq, it's my fault the Dark Alliance even got together. The only possible way to reconcile is to stop this once and for all. But will I ever truly be forgiven? Only time will tell.

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker was in his hideout in the outskirts of Gotham City. That fool Scarecrow had tried to kill him by blowing up his plane. But he should have known that it would take more than that to kill The Clown Prince Of Crime!

After a brief swim in the ocean, he'd found his way back to Gotham Harbour, and then back to his decaying mansion home. After some time for recovery, he busted Crane out of Arkham, just to let him know he hadn't won. Now "The Master Of Fear" was going to be living in fear.

"Oh, such wonderful irony, HA HA!"

He'd pay his old pal Scarecrow a visit some day. Not tomorrow, not next week. But sometime, just when he would probably be letting his guard down. No, he wouldn't be making any strikes in the near future - not even on dear old Brucie. No, the superhero community probably thought The Joker was dead. And for now, he wanted to keep it that way. He wanted to lay low for a while. He was cooking up some plans. Big plans. And he was going to personally oversee them.

Saying a silent farewell to his house, The Joker left and walked to his rendez-vous point. A chopper was waiting there to take him to Liberty Island, a small patch of land just off the coast near Gotham City. Smiling wickedly, he hopped into the passenger seat of the chopper, patting the driver on the back.

"Take me to my House Of Fun..."

OOC: And that's it for two weeks. I'm going away for a holiday in sunny Spain. I'm sure this Season will still be running when I get back, so I can pick things up from here. I've had a great time playing as The Joker, so I'd really appreciate it if I could keep the character reserved until I come back.

*J'onn. I have lost too many people. I am not losing him too!*
Flash-"J'onn--stay where you are! I'm coming!"
*Lots of good that does. I try to run to him but the guy's moving just as fast as I can. Well this isn't going exactly like I planned. The force is pulling him like he was going down a white river. If what I think is happening is happening then we both are gonna be absorbed by the speedforce. But maybe--just maybe--"

Flash-"J'onn--I'm gonna need you to fly towards me as fast as you possibly can. That should slow you down and I'll be able to grab you so Ray can get us the hell out of here. You follow?"
Martian Manhunter-"YES!"

*He tries to fly to me but it lot of good that's doing. He's fast but not that fast. I'm reaching my hand out to his...Almost...Almost...NOW!"

Flash-"Bart."
Atom-"What?"
Flash-"I heard Bart in there. What is Bart doing in there?"
Atom-"Calm down."
Flash-"WHAT WAS HE DOING IN THERE?! WHAT'S GOING ON?! I'm going to Titan Tower and I better get some answers!"

*I push Ray out of the way. I'm getting down to the bottom of this.*

*I'm on my way to the teleporters when I notice Superigirl here, crying in Superman's arms...This does not look good.*

Flash-"...Supergirl?...Where is Bart?"
*I ask fearing the worst. I pray to god I am wrong and it was only my mind playing tricks on me. Some alternate universe. Anything!*

[Tropico]

Todd Rice sleeps peacefully. There's nothing to alert him as the shadows beneath his bed darken and an odorless, colorless gas rises until it reaches his face. Todd awakens from his slumber covered in cold sweat and breathing raggedly. Something isn't right and he can't place what. His vision is blurry and his head feels fuzzy. "What's wrong with me?!"- he says desperately while clutching his head. "You're incomplete, master. You need us back."- something whispers. "WHO'S THERE!!"- Todd says as he turns around and the motion makes the whole room spin around him.

It's us. master. It's you. It's your soul. Your other half beseeches to complete yourself.

"NOOOOO!!!"- he says terrified as he realizes the shadows are writhing on the walls and the floor. "I'm done with you! I'm good now. I have a family, I have a father. The badness is behind me, I'm good now. I'm good. GO AWAY!!!! please, go away"

"Don't cry. We love you too. You got us all together, you took us from all those other people that used us and made us a family. We ARE your family. You'll never be complete without us, a piece of your soul is here. You left it as a reminder taht you're part of us and would never forget us. You love us as much as we love you. Embraaaaaace ussssssss...

Todd is kneeling on his bed, his arms are wrapped about himself in a trembling embrace. Tears run down his face freely as his mouth lies open in a silent sobbing scream as spittle falls from his lip. He tries to speak but nothing in his body responds. The shadows draw near him. Todd notices them and jumps back- "AAAAAAaahhh, n-nuh-NO!! NO-oooohh!!" He leans against the wall, cradling himself. "I'm good. I'm light. I'm good. I'm light. Daddy says I'm good now and he's the light and I'm the light because he loves me and my sister is the light and I'm the light because she loves me."- Todd says while rocking back and forth.

Sister issssss DEAD! You need us now more than ever! We still love YOU!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"- Todd screams. "It's true. IT'S TRUE! I felt it in my sleep. They killed her. She's gone."- Todd looks around spasmodically. "Help me, help me be strong again. I have to avenge my sister. Help me!"- Todd says extending his arms at the shadows.

We'll help you. We obey you, master. But it was daddy's fault. He didn't take care of you AGAIN. He abandoned you again. That's why you don't have a sister. We'll help you avenge sister and PUNISH DADDY!

"Yes, punish daddy. Punish daddy! Daddy is the light and he takes the shadows away. The shadows love me and daddy takes away my love. Punish daddy.help me daddy."- Todd says with glazed eyes.

Raise your arm. And as Todd does, the shadows form around his hand and fly into the wall shattering a hole in it. Sleep, for now. And Todd falls to the bed asleep. Inside Mordru's tower, the Shade steps through a jet black portal with edges frayed in green fire. His laughter rings accross the halls.

OOC:Todd Rice is Obsidian, Alan Scott's son. I stopped 'cause I'm freaking myself out.:o:(

"John," I call out to my comm, "if you're still interested in talking, I'll be on the roof of Wayne Towers." With that I get the Batmobile to me and drive back to Wayne Towers and back to my penthouse.

"Will do. I'm hading out there now." John replies back hoving over Gotham as he takes down the last of the walls he set up.

And within a few minutes he arrives at Wayne Towers. Landing on it's roof and rezzes up a chair to sit down on. He proceeds to wait for Batman's arrival.

"im sensing trouble with the titans. As for my being trapped.i can find out off wally later. im gonna check the scanners and see if i can assist with anything."

Kara flew to the Watch Tower, taking out her anger and pain on meteors along the way, one she pounded hard enough so that it left a new crater on the moon. She got to the Watch Tower, shortly after her cousin and Dr. Mid-Nite. "Kal! Oh god Kal!"

"Kara, what's wrong? Calm down."

Kara buried her head on Superman's shoulder as he hugged her. "It's Bart. Bart, he, he's dead. Oh god. He's dead!" Supergirl again burst into tears, crying into Superman's cape.

OOC: SuperFerret I hope you don't mind the minimal bunnying I just did.


OOC: I don't mind.

Kara hugged Clark with enough force to crush steel, and he held her steady as she sobbed uncontrollably. In that moment, Superman felt helpless, for both Kara and poor Bart, and tears began to roll down his cheeks as well. If what she said was true, and he had no reason to doubt her, then everything was about to explode. "Shhhhh....." he whispered, stroking her hair, "calm down and tell me exactly what happened."

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Will do. I'm hading out there now." John replies back hoving over Gotham as he takes down the last of the walls he set up.

And within a few minutes he arrives at Wayne Towers. Landing on it's roof and rezzes up a chair to sit down on. He proceeds to wait for Batman's arrival.

I get back to the Tower and get to the roof. I see John's already there, sitting on one of his self-made green chairs. I give him an acknolaging nod and get to business.

"What was it that you wanted to tell me, John?"

[Dwarf lord]

OOC: I don't mind.

"I'd like to know the same," Alan Scott said as he flew down to them. "Jay sent me. He and Joan are pretty worked up over this all." Alan walked up behind Kara and put his steady hand on her sholder. He was heart broken over what had happened, but He didn't let it show. He couldn't. "Take your time, Kara. We're here for you."

OOC: I'm gonna try first-person for a little while.

"Alan." He had lost his daughter recently, probably to the same people who killed Bart, he'll probably be out for blood. I know how he must feel, I've been there, after Lois died. But just because I understand him doesn't mean I'm going to let him kill anyone for vengeance.

I look down at Kara, she was still crying, although she had regained some of her composure, she seemed ready to tell her story.

[Dwarf lord]

"Clark. It's good to see you again. I know this probably isn't the time, but I'd like to join the League. It's been far too long, being away from the superhero business." Alan hopes that Clark doesn't think he's just doing this out of revenge. He really wants to be a part of something again. "I don't even want to lead. I just want to rejoin the fight. I'm much happier playing elder statesman."

Kara picks her head off Superman's shoulder and sniffles one last time, anger obviously flowing back into her.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b293/SupergirlKara/Peeved.jpg
"Bart was killed today. It was set up, no accident. Three villains. Two I know, one I don't. Black Adam. Deathstroke. We were ambushed, and so were Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy. Though it's obvious that Bart was their target, because none of us were severely injured. Adam drew me away from the fight between Slade and Bart, and when he did Bart had the upperhand. Parasite also attacked both me and Adam. If not for him I may have returned in time to save Bart. As is, on my return to the tower I saw Bart's form vanish, and the the three villains fade away. I kept this." She drops Bart's costume at her feet. "It also seemed obvious that Bart wasn't their first target, it was too calculated and cold for that. Nor will he likely be their last, they seem out for blood and if you ask me, more than enough has been spilled already. I will fly back to the tower to grab the surveilance tapes to see what they can reveal. I'll be right back. Kal, thank you for being her. I still want to cry, but you and Diana have taught me the times to be strong, and this is certainly one of them. Thank you."

She flew out the airlocks at superspeed, and smashed a few more boulders in rage as she flew.

"Kara, wait!" But she was too fast, and my surprise made me slow. Bart was killed by this Dark Alliance of Villains, and, most surprisingly, Parasite was alive. I turn to Wally, and look to see his reaction to the horrible news.

[Savage]

*...And then she flies off...I don't even notice, I'm staring at the empty costume so hard...His uniform...But he was only a kid. He had no buisness doing what he did...he was only a kid...*

*I slowly get down to pick up the costume, tears beginning to role down my face, so choked up no sound comes out of my mouth when I open it slightly...He was only a kid. Damn it, he was only a kid!!!*

Flash-":whimpers:...r...rr..rrrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
:FLSH!:

*He trusted me He trusted me! He went back through time for me and I let him die! He idolized you Wally. He wanted to be like you. Follow in your footsteps and he died because of it. This is all my fault.*

[twylight]

Dinah sat for a while before standing and stretching.
Surely Hal had already dispersed the antidote, in fact she got the weird feeling the 'world' had moved on without her.

"Oracle? I'm on my way back to the Clocktower."

Walking up the steps she glanced down at her legs. He fishnets had tears in several area's and the frayed ends stuckout at odd angles.

"First thing, shower, second thing, find out where the heck everyone is."

An hour later she walked into the clocktower's computer room, after walking back to her cycle and driving back.

"Bab's I'm going to borrow your shower."
Recieving no verbal answer she turned and looked at the back of Bab's head, covered in red waves. She repeated the question, interpeting the slight bounce of the waves to be a "Yes."

Turning she made her way to the bathroom. "Either way. Age and villany will always triumph over youth and spirit."
She'd alway's been impressed by Bab's mature attitude towards things.

30 minutes later Dinah stepped out of the bathroom and meandered into the computer room.
Leaning her elbow on the back of Babs chair she asked "So, what's the new's on everybody? Heard anything from Mia or Roy?"

OOC: Sorry if it sounds sort of weird..I'm on a computer that's all AOL and feels alien. This will probably be my last post for the weekend, or until someone included Dinah in something, because..Dinah can't really fly or run anywhere to find things out. :o

[Dwarf lord]

"Kara, wait!" But she was too fast, and my surprise made me slow. Bart was killed by this Dark Alliance of Villains, and, most surprisingly, Parasite was alive. I turn to Wally, and look to see his reaction to the horrible news.

"Clark... What do you want us to do?"

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite woke up with Deadshot standing in front of him, smoking a cigarette. "Alright Jones, we've got another little task for you."

Rudy stirred in his chair. "Meh. What izit this time, Lawton? Headbutt a sidewalk? Swallow powdered glass? Or have you come up with a far more interesting way for me to risk my life?

Floyd Lawton flicked his cigarette away and pulled down his mask. He stepped towards the Parasite and pulled the purple monster out of his chair, fully waking Rudy up.

Deadshot brought his wrist magnum to the Parasite's forehead. "Listen here, you purple puke; I don't like you. You're a slacker and an uncooperative a-hole. But my superiors believe that (aside from your attitude) you've got everything needed to be the perfect agent for us: You're a shapeshifter, you can read minds, steal powers, and you've got no qualms about killing." Rudy could hear the cervo motors in the lens of Deadshot's mask focusing more on his head. "You might be able to absorb the kinetic energy of a bullet, but I've got cryogenic shells, courtesy of technology we'd taken from Mr. Freeze. And cold is something that you can't absorb, Rudy."

That was the last straw. "I've had enough of your bulls**t, Floyd." The Parasite slapped away Deadshot's gun and grabbed onto Lawton's head. "I wanna know just what your role is, who our 'employers' really are, and just what the hell is the point of all this! I'm gonna get my answers if I hafta drain them outta your head myself!" Rudy tried to drain Deadshot, but something was wrong. "... I... I can't get anything out of you. What the hell are you?" Rudy let go of Deadshot and fell back to the floor in astonishment.

Deadshot regained his composure. "Oh, I assure you that I'm still Floyd Lawton. 100% human. The only difference now is that my mind and body are protected. You might've also noticed that I'm a bit more enthusiastic about the squad's missions than I used to be, but that's only because I've got something to fight for now." Lawton pulled his mask back above his face and lit another cigarette.

Rudy managed to meet Deadshot's eyes. "Something to fight for? And what would that be?"

Lawton took the cigarette from his mouth and blew smoke into the Parasite's face. "You'll find out soon enough. In the mean time, the briefing for your next mission will be at noon. Be there... or we'll strap you down and haul you there."

[SuperFerret]

"Clark... What do you want us to do?"

Alan's response gives me a pause, mainly because I didn't expect to become the League's leader, but I guess it makes sense, as Superman I am seen by some to be the end all, be all of the metahuman community. I look around at the assembled heroes with me, they look at me with admiration and respect. I take a deep breath...

"We move out. Contact everybody, not only current Leaguers, but also the JSA, the Titans, the Outsiders, anybody who calls themselves a hero."

"I believe war has just been declared."

[Savage]

OOC: Excuse me if I bend the rules of DC a bit but this is a game after all...Also Flash has only dissapeared for a split second.

IC:*I'm in the speed force again. That's where you go when you run so fast you simply dissappear. The speed force can be my best friend and at the same time my worst enemy. It gives me my power but it wants my life in return. I'm taking a big risk pulling off what I'm thinking. I'm taking Bart home. And no force in this world or the next is going to stop me.*

Flash-"Bart? Bart! Bart where are you?!"

*I call out rushing from point to point looking for him. I know it's useless but I have to try. I have to at least try.*

Flash-"Bart? Bart please! Say something!"

"He's already here."

*I turn around and am nearly floor by what I see...My eyes tear up. I'm so happy and at the same time so confused.*

Flash-"...B...Barry?"

Barry Allen-"Hey kiddo. How's it goin?:)"
Wally West-"H...How?"
BA-"When you merge with the speedforce you get to do all these neat tricks like being all places, all the time, all at once. But that's not the only little perk. You can materialize. You can take a form...You can come back at any time you want and more powerful than you've ever been...You should know, you've done it."
WW-"I--I have?"
BA-"Well sure. Where do you think all your new powers came from? How else do you think you were able to pass me of all people? That doesn't just come with practice you know."

*...It's weird but...it makes so much sense now.*
WW-"...yeah...but what about Bart?"
BA-"He's around."
WW-"I have to take him back."
BA-"He's in a better place now."
WW-"Don't give me that crap Barry."
BA-"He is. He's happy here Wally. It's wonderful here. It's like you become a part of...everything. Despite what you choose to believe, we're not begging to be saved. Don't feel sorry for us. We're happy! It's okay. It really is!"
WW-"..."
BA-"...And something tells me you already know that..."

*I can't even look at him right now I'm so ashamed of myself for being so selfish*
WW-"...I miss you so much Barry. I really do. We all do."
BA-"Don't worry about it kid."
WW-"If I was just there--"
BA-"Don't think like that."
WW-"If only it had been me instead if you--"
BA-"Hey! Hey. Look at me..."
*I look up at him. Heh. Even after all these years he still seems so much bigger than me. I'm always looking up to him.*

BA-"...I do not regret my choice. I saved countless lives, yours included, and I am happy with that choice...I can serve you better over here than down there anyway."
WW-"...What do you mean?"
BA-"When a 'speedster', as you like to put it, gains his powers, some power is taken from the speed force. When that speedster joins back with the speed force it is given back, making it more powerful and in turn...making the remaining speedsters more powerful...In a way you have me to thank for your new powers.:) Now I don't want anything big but if you insist I'm a size 12."
WW-"hahaha."
*Even after he's dead he's still got a sense of humor.*

BA-"Imagine what new tricks you've got up your sleeve now that Bart's here aye."
WW-"..."
BA-"Sorry. Guess you're still a bit sore about it...Just take comfort in that we're all happy here and we're always with you...at all times so watch it."
*...I can't help but smile at the guy.*

WW-"The speedforce. Why hasn't it taken me yet?"
BA-"It's not your time...You can thank me for that though."
WW-"you?"
BA-"Oh come on, don't act suprised. You really think even Palmer could pull you out of here? This is another plain of existance. New rules apply here if any at all."
WW-"heh heh."
*He looks up and down at me*
WW-"...what?"
BA-"...God I'm proud of you...I wish you were my son. hahaha."
WW-"hahaha."
BA-"...I'll be seein you kid."
WW-"Wait, where are you goin?"
BA-"We've got work to do.:winks:"
WW-"What? No hug?:D"
BA-"We're men, Wally. Men don't hug."
WW-"heh..."
BA-"...God I'm so proud of you.:)...Good bye."

*And he's gone...Just like that...I appear back in the Watchtower with Clark and Alan...Bart's costume no longer in my hands...Yeah...It's gonna be a good day.:)*

[Dwarf lord]

"The JSA is pretty much out of the running. Jay would much rather spend time with Joan. Wildcat is... elsewhere and not even Miraclo could get Rex back up. The young blood might be able to do something." Alan said as he tried to focus himself. If he's going to be set for war, he has to be fully charged. "Leave my daughter's killer to me"

Flash-"...Just point me in the direction."

[Supergirl]

OOC: Damn, this arc is flying now...

IC: Less than a minute passed as Kara blurred into the tower. When she wanted, noone but Wally West was faster. And at the moment she definitely wanted to be fast. A red blur passed into her room, and a blue and red one came back out. The blur made quick detours to the surveilance room and the lounge, a piece of paper falling softly at Cyborg's feet. 'No time to talk. Gather Cassie, Conner, and Mia, and whoever else you may deem neccesary and meet me at the JLA watchtower. Love, K'
The blur hit outer space seconds later and passed back through the airlock.
Not five minutes had passed since Kara had left.

*Then Superman's words b**ch-slap me back to reality...war...Bart WILL be avenged.*

Flash-"...Just point me in the direction."

"Wally, blindly going in and attacking will just cause more deaths. If you want to do something, and I know you do, then find Oracle for me. Tell her that we're going to need all the available information she can get on Black Adam, Deathstroke, and the attack on Titans Tower. Maybe we can identify they're unknown accomplice."

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Don't forget to be curious about what I'm up to ;)

[Dwarf lord]

"I agree with Clark. We can't just ram their base hoping we get something. 'Descretion is the better part of valor'"

[Savage]

Flash-"Done."

*And with that I'm in the clocktower. I moved so fast I didn't even remember using the teleporter...huh.*

Oracle-"OH! Wally, I really wish you'd stop doing that."
Flash-"Sorry Barb. Emergency. Can't say much because honestly we're all as clueless as you are. We need as much info as we can possibly find on Black Adam and Deathstroke. I'm talkin' anal cavity search here. We need to know where they've been and what they've been doing. We also need information on the Titans Tower, the attack on it, and everyone involved. Witnesses, home vidoes, whatever, just do it. Something reeks here and we're getting down to the bottom of it. Bart died in that battle and damn it, we're going to get justice."

“Hahahahaha. So, you fools are finally starting to organize. It has taken you long enough”, says Mordru as he watches the happenings in the Watchtower via a mystical scrying mirror.
“It seems your friends are starting to get their act together, Hector. Too bad it will avail them nothing.”

Mordru rose to his feet and began to leave the room, “I guess it is time to prepare ourselves as well.”

As he reaches the door, Mordru turns his head and looks at the nook in the wall, “Don’t fret, Hector. Soon you will be the last hero alive.”

Mordru leaves his private chamber, and makes his way to the Terminator.
“Deathstroke, let me see your sword and your armor.”

[Tropico]

OOC: Why? Did I miss a post with you taking out cameras? :confused:

OOC:Shade had blacked out the camera in the room before 'porting in. Deathstroke had disabled the system before we 'ported to our individual targets before going to Bart.

[Supergirl]

OOC: Oops I did miss that :( Oh, well Mid-Nite is still here, he can shed light on the identity of the unknown from a brief description... yes I know, that was a very corny pun...

[twylight]

OOC: Damn, this arc is flying now...


OOC: Only for the hero's with superspeed and flight. :p


Flash-"Done."

*And with that I'm in the clocktower. I moved so fast I didn't even remember using the teleporter...huh.*

Oracle-"OH! Wally, I really wish you'd stop doing that."
Flash-"Sorry Barb. Emergency. Can't say much because honestly we're all as clueless as you are. We need as much info as we can possibly find on Black Adam and Deathstroke. I'm talkin' anal cavity search here. We need to know where they've been and what they've been doing. We also need information on the Titans Tower, the attack on it, and everyone involved. Witnesses, home vidoes, whatever, just do it. Something reeks here and we're getting down to the bottom of it. Bart died in that battle and damn it, we're going to get justice."

Dinah was leaning over the computer next to Babs when she saw a flash of light out of the corner of her eye. Spinning around in position she relaxed once she saw it was Flash.

"OH! Wally, I really wish you'd stop doing that."

"Wally!" She caught herself when she saw his serious expression.

"Sorry Barb. Emergency. Can't say much because honestly we're all as clueless as you are. We need as much info as we can possibly find on Black Adam and Deathstroke. I'm talkin' anal cavity search here. We need to know where they've been and what they've been doing. We also need information on the Titans Tower, the attack on it, and everyone involved. Witnesses, home vidoes, whatever, just do it. Something reeks here and we're getting down to the bottom of it. Bart died in that battle and damn it, we're going to get justice."

Dinah didn't see Babs expression. But she was certain it was a reflection of her own.
"Bart..." He was so young, and it made her feel so helpless.
As the reality sank in she worried about something else.

"Is Mia okay? Is she okay, Wally?""

Not waiting for the answer and seeing Babs turn and start typing Dinah pulled up a chair and got to work on the other computer. She wasn't as good as Babs but she had helped set up the computer for the JLA, once upon a time.

Her fingers froze above the keyboard after a few strokes.

"You're not going to find any surveillance tapes for Titans Tower."

She turned to see Babs and Wally's quizzical looks.

She explained thinking as she went.
"Deathstroke is strategically minded, like our own Batman. He would have cut the feed on any surveillance cameras in the area of action."
She paused
"Wait, Titans Tower, why wouldn't he want to be on film? He would have wanted to be on film attacking the Titans, their our children, attacking them and..killing one is cause for him to gloat, and Black Adam is a glory hound as well. Unless there was someone with them they didn't want seen."

Seeing Wally's bland look she guessed that they already had confirmation on a third person. But didn't know who it was, hence them asking Babs to find the security camera footage

"I suggest calling Mid-Night." She said, smiling when she said the name.

Standing she said "Flash if you're going back to the Watchtower, I'd like to come with you. Unless you need some help here on their location." She turned to Babs.

OOC: If I'm bending the comic book histories too much or I'm portraying ayone out of character, let me know and I'll fix it.
But it's all I can come up with to smooth things over with the whole tape thing and Dr. Mid-Night.
Its the best I can do after a night of a cat moaning and yelling all night next to me.

"What is your need of them wizard?" Deathstroke replies as he hands over his sword "I've been thinking about the enchantments you cast on them earlier. How far is your range with them?"

[Johnny Blaze]

"What is your need of them wizard?" Deathstroke replies as he hands over his sword "I've been thinking about the enchantments you cast on them earlier. How far is your range with them?"
“It will take a bit of time, but I can make those enchantments permanent”, replies the Dark Lord. “We will be fighting some powerful foes; you will need your armor enchanted as well.”

[Harlekin]

”Thank you Mordru, I’d like you to make the proper arrangements. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a daughter I need to check up on.” Deathstroke said, handing over armor and sword, before he turned towards the door that led to his daughter’s room.

Walking down the stairs, the Terminator’s mind wondered to his children and family. Rose was all that he left now. He’d killed all the others. At least she was alright now, recuperating here in the Tower of Fate, or rather Mordru.

He’d love her till the end of time, like he did all the others. From his belt, Slade took a photo of him, Joseph and Addie, when the madness hadn’t yet started. He only carried the photos of the once he had to bury. He had them all, Grant, Wade, Wintergreen, Addie and Joseph. He hoped that he would never have to add Rose to that list.

He knew that hope was futile.

You didn’t survive being a Wilson.

[Johnny Blaze]

“Very good.”
With that, Mordru turns to take his leave back to his private chamber to augment Slade’s gear, which is quietly floating behind the wizard surrounded in a light green aura.

[Tropico]

"If I may, Lord Mordru, a moment of you time. From the information you have given us of the "heroes" organizing I think it would be prudent for me to also carry a little added protection. I have a little errand to run and think it would be prudent to have some protection from psychic intrusion. Is there something that you could do in that department?"- asked the Shade as Mordru had started to leave.

[Johnny Blaze]

Mordru considers the Shade’s question for a few moments before answering. “Hmm…I suppose I could place a mystical barrier over your mind. It will not shield you completely, but it will give you a strong defense against psychic attack.”
With that said, the Dark Lord holds out his right arm and spreads his fingers directly in front of the Shade’s face, and begins to chant under his breath.
A few seconds later, Mordru lowers his arm and says, “There. It is done. You should feel a slight tingle in your head. Almost like a feather’s touch. It will pass in a few moments. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have work to do.”
Mordru spins back around and enters the door to his private chamber with the armor and sword of Deathstroke in tow. As the door slams shut, it disappears completely, leaving only an empty wall once again.

[Savage]

OOC: need any other heroes for this arc? its just J'onn is looking for something to do and i dont mind taggin along if ya quickly fill me in on whats happenin
OOC: Sure man, join in. I'm suprised no-one has called you in yet actually.

[Nightwing.]

OOC: so whats happenin?what can i do?

[Savage]

OOC: Just go up to Superman for what to do. He's assuming leadership on this whole thing.

OOC: Nah, ya did good.:up:

"Okay, we've gotta get a move on. We don't have time to search for Mid-nite seeing as you don't have superspeed and I can't just pick the guy up and bring him here.
"Midnite, Flash, lobby, now."

Dinah gave Babs a smile, "Call if you need me." She motioned to her comm, as she and Wally faded away.

In an instant she surveyed the inside of the Watchtower. "Pretty spiffy..oh and hey." She pointed towards Wally's head. "I want one of those."

She followed him down the hall.

"Okay, we've gotta get a move on. We don't have time to search for Mid-nite seeing as you don't have superspeed and I can't just pick the guy up and bring him here."

"Please, don't comment on my age, when you get old you get slower." She said making a face at him.

"Have you contacted J'onn? He's handy to have around."
"Might as well get the rest of the old crew in on this."

[Nightwing.]

OOC: Im assuming hes in the tower

IC: J'onn walked to the main control room and saw Superman staring at monitors. His fists were on his hips. The typical stance the man of steel took. "So Clark what's the situation?"

[Savage]

Flash-"Not a bad idea. :into earpiece: J'onn, I need you in the lobby...:To Canary:...Wait, what are we doing in the lobby? Everyone's in the control room. :earpiece:scratch that. You, Midnite, and everyone you can get in contact with. Emergency meeting, control room, now. :Canary: Let's go."


EDIT: Damn, posted it late. Just pretend Nightwing's post is after mine.

[Johnny Blaze]

The armor and sword are placed within a small circle of runes on the floor. Incense burns in the corner. Incense that reeks of dead things. A bowl of the blood of an angel sits in front of Mordru, as the Dark Lord sits, Indian style, chanting with his eyes closed.
As he chants, the armor and sword glow with a greenish fire that burns hot, but does not harm the equipment. As the din of the Dark Lord’s chant increases, Mordru opens his eyes suddenly. In one fluid stroke, he dips his hands in the bowl of blood, scoops up a handful, and splashes it onto the armor. The blood sizzles and burns as it hits the armor, and jet black smoke wafts up from it. The runes flap off of the floor as though they were a feather in a breeze, and slowly fall into place on the armor and sword. Mordru’s chant softens once again as the final rune lands on the sword and burns its mark into the blade. He raises the bowl of angel blood to his lips, and takes a deep drink. It is a sweet wine to the Dark Lord. He smiles evilly and wipes his mouth with the back of his left hand, and then rises to his feet. The armor in the chalk circle glows faintly.
“That is true power, Hector. The power of chaos.”
Hector Hall replies, but Mordru pays him no heed. The Dark Lord flicks a finger, and the gear of the Terminator slowly and silently rises from the floor and follows behind him, as he heads to his chamber’s door.

He walks through the door, but, instead of the main room, it takes him to young Rose’s chamber, where Deathstroke sits.

“Your equipment is finished, Deathstroke”, says the Dark Lord as the armor and sword float and land at the mercenary’s feet.

[Harlekin]

”Now father has a job to do.” Deathstroke said as he reached under the Ravager’s bed and grabbed a package from underneath it. Taking away the packaging, Slade took out an almost exact replica of the Batman uniform.

”You have done well, my daughter. You have certainly done well.” Slade said, looking over to the sleeping Rose. Before she went off to kill Lian she did another job for him. He didn’t even know where she got it from, but this was good. Would fit nicely over his armor.

As if he had spoken the devil’s name himself, Mordru appeared into the room, dropping off ‘Stroke’s stuff in front of him. He watches it with awe, as his fingers go over the runes.

Turning away from Mordru, Deathstroke changes into his Batman uniform, the armor underneath and the blade to his side. ”A little birdie’s tower is in need of destruction. Oracle’s clocktower. I got texted just before we left the Titans Tower. My other employers would like me to get rid of her… accessories and I think it would serve our Alliance well.” Deathstroke said as he put he pulled the cowl over him. ”I’ll be in Gotham…”

"Wally" J'onn turned to face the speedster. "I never got to thankyou before. I came to see if icould be of assistance. i understand something happened to Bart. If theres anything you need from me then say now."

[Savage]

"Don't worry about it big guy...This may sound cheesy as all Wisconsin but... he's in a better place now...Besides, we've got work to do.

"Supes, I got Oracle working on the case right now. Says chances of getting surveilance info is slim but she'll see what she can do. Whoever Deathstroke and Adam had with them didn't want us finding out who he was."

[Nightwing.]

IC: "I can try and put a psychic call out to all the telepaths on the planet and harness their energy to a level matching that of Tomorrow Woman's. I may then be able to locate our mystery man or woman."

OOC: Who is the mystery man by the way.i didnt see the last arc so im not sure who it is.

[Savage]

OOC: Shade

IC:*...That's a new one.*
"...You can do that?:confused:"

[Nightwing.]

IC: "I will definately give it a try. Bare with me and no wise cracks please Wally"
"What me?" J'onn focused as he stared at the world. Everyone looked at him as he just stared. He never blinked once with his yellow eyes. Then he suddenly moved. "I can't find him. However with time i can find out who he is. Whether it's directly or through the mind of one of his allies. Surely one of them is weak minded"

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Considering the Tower of Fate is basically another dimension in itself, you wouldn't be able to penetrate it. Even with all the worlds good psychics backing you up. The only way you'd be able to tell it's Shade, psychically, is when he leaves the Tower. Even then you'd have to know what to look for.

I feel sorry for rigel. He's the only one who knows what you're really up against, and none of you are giving him the time of day. :o :(

[Savage]

OOC: Hey, I am. The guy's just not posting.:D

[Spike_x1]

I feel sorry for rigel. He's the only one who knows what you're really up against, and none of you are giving him the time of day. :o :(OOC: As an outsider for this arc, I've noticed that too. Kinda sad, but they'll get what's coming to them. :D :p

[Harlekin]

OOC: Agreed. No offense Nightwing, but that really is a load of crap. The Tower of Fate is the most highly mystically guarded place on the planet. It can't be penetrated in any manner as I recall.

[Savage]

OOC: Thought Shade left the tower to do whatever he was doing though. That's why he asked for the mind thing. Nightwing even referenced it.

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, in can be penetrated, IIRC. But, only of the master of the Tower allows it to be. And Mordru damn sure isn't going to be allowing anyone access to the Tower, unless they're DA members, any time soon. :p

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Thought Shade left the tower to do whatever he was doing though. That's why he asked for the mind thing. Nightwing even referenced it.
OOC: Far as I know, he's still in the Tower.

[Savage]

OOC: Ah, gotcha. Nightwing you're gonna have to edit that man.

[Nightwing.]

OOC: OK ive edited it but can i make a few points.

firstly i never stated that J'onn went into this tower or that he tapped into Shade's mind and secondly im not fully knowledged about Shade and i didnt know of the Tower of Fate. so i apologise and also feel you jumped the gun. but its changed all the same

That's when the teardrops start - fella
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Just make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We'll have ourselves a ball

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

”Now father has a job to do.” Deathstroke said as he reached under the Ravager’s bed and grabbed a package from underneath it. Taking away the packaging, Slade took out an almost exact replica of the Batman uniform.

”You have done well, my daughter. You have certainly done well.” Slade said, looking over to the sleeping Rose. Before she went off to kill Lian she did another job for him. He didn’t even know where she got it from, but this was good. Would fit nicely over his armor.

As if he had spoken the devil’s name himself, Mordru appeared into the room, dropping off ‘Stroke’s stuff in front of him. He watches it with awe, as his fingers go over the runes.

If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain't got the guts
She keeps naggin' at you night and day
Enough to drive you nuts -
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It's time you made a stand
For a fee
I'm happy to be
Your back door man

Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

”What’s all this?”
“Thirty thousand and one dollars – and fifty cents. Not to kill Amy Rohrbach.”
”I always said you had heart.”

Concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT

Neckties, contracts, high voltage

Turning away from Mordru, Deathstroke changes into his Batman uniform, the armor underneath and the blade to his side. ”A little birdie’s tower is in need of destruction. Oracle’s clocktower. I got texted just before we left the Titans Tower. My other employers would like me to get rid of her… accessories and I think it would serve our Alliance well.” Deathstroke said as he put he pulled the cowl over him. ”I’ll be in Gotham…” “A sound idea, Terminator”, says Mordru as he opens a portal. “I too am headed for Gotham to pick up a possible new recruit.”
Mordru enters the portal and appears back in the main room. Adam is still resting, and he finds the Shade is about to depart as well.
“Shade, I go to Gotham to recruit a new member. I trust you will be fine in my absence?”

[batnkevlar]

~What to do now, sir?~

"Batman has Scarecrow, ring, so I think it's time to pay a visit to an old acquaintance."

~Who, sir?~

"My bed... get me back to the Watchtower... I need some sleep."

OOC: The smackdown will NOT commence... YET...

OOC: I EDITed...

[batnkevlar]

*Hal lazily walks through the Watchtower hallways. He needs to get to sleep.*

"Is anyone even here?" he yells.

[Savage]

IC: "I will definately give it a try. Bare with me and no wise cracks please Wally"
"What me?" J'onn focused as he stared at the world. Everyone looked at him as he just stared. He never blinked once with his yellow eyes. Then he suddenly moved. "I can't find him. However with time i can find out who he is. Whether it's directly or through the mind of one of his allies. Surely one of them is weak minded"
"Wait a sec, where's Midnite? I called him here personally. I had him, Vigilante, and Elongated Man do an undercover job for me with the D.A. Is he back yet?"

[Harlekin]

Before the portal could close, Slade walked through as well, appearing back in the main room. "A new recruit in Gotham? Might as well tag along than and let you drop me off near Gotham's clocktower." Deathstroke looked over to Mordru before quipping "Don't worry, I don't get frisky on the first date." and extended his hand "Let's get going, unless our friend the Shade would like to come along."

[Johnny Blaze]

Mordru looked at Slade’s extended hand and chuckled. “Before we depart, Deathstroke, I will place the same mental blocks onto you as I did the Shade.”
With that, Mordru went into the minor incantation to set Deathstroke up with a mystical barrier around his mind.

“If you have business in Gotham, Shade, you are welcome to tag along. If not, then I trust you can find something to occupy your time with until we return”, said the Dark Lord as he opened up the portal to Gotham.

Mordru then step into the portal and disappear…

[Savage]

Well that was a waste of 5 minutes.

[Tropico]

Shade blinked a few times after the spell was done. "Many thanks, Mordru." He pored over some maps and returned to the hall where Mordru and Slade were leaving. "I will be alright, I'm heading in another direction. Tick tock, my friends, tick tock; time is running out."-he said as he stepped throught his own black portal with the edges frayed in green flame.

OOC: I'll be back in a while with a bigger post and an opening for BatnKevlar's battle. Gotta go make dinner.

[Supergirl]

*Vigilante and Elongated Man enter the room.*
Elongated Man-"Sorry we're late. We tried to get here as fast as we can but I had to keep stopping for SLOWPOKE over here."
Vigilante-"Well some of us can't just stretch our legs to the other side of the room."
Flash-"This is not the time guys. Whatcha got for me?"
Both-"...uuuh."
EM-"Well you see--"
V-"We kinda--"
EM-"Left early."
Flash-"...I'm sorry. I don't think I heard that right. Did you just say...you left."
V-"Well...yeah."
Flash-"You just left?"
EM-"Pretty much."
Flash-"...One question."
V-"Shoot."
Flash-"WHY?!?"

*Both look at each other.*
Elongated Man-"...You wanna handle this one tex?"
Vigilante-"Naw, I'm good."
EM-":mad:"
V-"..."
EM-"...Well you see...Midnite figured we wouldn't pass as Captain Cold and...Who were you again?
V-"Catman."
EM-"--Catman so he told us to kind of...go home."
Flash-"...Go home?"
EM-"Go home."
Flash-"...:sighs:...I'll wait till he gets here. You guys go...Do...something...Over there. Far, far over there."

*Damn it Midnite, where are you?*
OOC: Mid-Nite is in the tower, he got there with Superman...

[Savage]

OOC: Mid-Nite is in the tower, he got there with Superman...
OOC: I know but apparantly he's not in the room...Either that or he should have answered up a long time ago. Figured he was in his room or something.

[Harlekin]

"Tick tock the witch is dead. Now that was ding dong." Deathstroke said with a chuckle towards Shade as he followed Mordru through the portal too Gotham and ended up on the rooftop, somewhere near the East End, Slade deduced.

"Good luck with your recruit and thanks for the blocks." Slade said as he tapped his head and left towards the Clocktower "See you at the Tower."

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: I can't post again 'til tomorrow, so anyone could bunny me until then...

[Harlekin]

And than Dr. Mid-Nite fell flat on his face and died.

OOC: Oh, you didn't mean that kind of bunnying?

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: uh.. no. Don't kill me. I mean anyone in the JL can.

[Johnny Blaze]

“Yes, I shall see you back at my Tower.”
The pair arrive on the rooftop of a clinic in the East End of Gotham. As Slade departs, Mordru casts a simple spell of illusion to make himself look like a paramedic, and floats down to the alley on the side of the clinic. The Dark Lord then walks around to the front and enters the building.
The clinic is a busy one, people running around everywhere trying to perform their tasks. Using the Amulet of Anubis, Mordru scans the building for the Scarecrow…and finds him. Strolling down a series of hallways, Mordru comes to a door leading to the pharmaceutical lab and enters. There he sees a tall, lanky man in a doctor’s garb.
“Dr. Murphy I presume? Or should I say, Dr. Jonathan Crane, the Scarecrow?” the still disguised Mordru says with a smile.

[Charlie No-One]

“I…I..don’t know who you’re talking about,” Dr Murphy said. With that, Doctor Kellian Murphy ran into the storage room of the clinic and locked the door. How did he find me here?

[Savage]

And than Dr. Mid-Nite fell flat on his face and died.

OOC: Oh, you didn't mean that kind of bunnying?
OOC: LOL!:D

[Johnny Blaze]

With a thought Mordru drops the disguise and teleports himself into the storage room. “Come now, Dr. Crane. You have nothing to worry about. My name is Mordru, and I am hear to make you an offer. I am inviting you to join our crusade against the heroes. For too long they have lorded over the entire planet, bullying the weak. Forcing people to conform to their ideals under the pretense of justice. We shall brook no more. Myself and other have banded together to strike back at the heroes who reign above you and deal out their hypocritical judgments. We ask that you join our cause. Together we can free this world from their tyrannical grip forevermore.”

[Charlie No-One]

“AHHH OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?” screamed Crane as the man teleported into the room. “Come now, Dr. Crane. You have nothing to worry about. My name is Mordru, and I am hear to make you an offer. I am inviting you to join our crusade against the heroes. For too long they have lorded over the entire planet, bullying the weak. Forcing people to conform to their ideals under the pretense of justice. We shall brook no more. Myself and other have banded together to strike back at the heroes who reign above you and deal out their hypocritical judgments. We ask that you join our cause. Together we can free this world from their tyrannical grip forevermore.” Mordru said. “No..not again..no one deserves this..no NOT AGAIN..so many.. SO.many bullies…No…no..but all those bullies…ruining my life…they…THEY..NEED…PUNISHING!” If someone could hear in Crane’s head, they would hear his sanity snap. “Ok. Let’s punish the bullies. Punish the bullies,”

[twylight]

:) Nothing to see here.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: ...Note to self: NEVER piss Twylight off...

[Savage]

OOC...:(

I understand where you're coming from though.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: I think Parallax has taken over Black Canary... haha... it's all good... you're sexy when you get angry, you know that twy?

*Dr. Mid-Nite walks out of the shadows*

"Woah, there Cross, didn't see you there. You're becoming more like Bats..." Hal said, surprised.

"Does Bats have a MD?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid to ask him."

"So what do you need? How are you?"

"All right, I guess. Just finished of a gig in Gotham. Crazy gas, people running wild, needed an antidote, that sorta thing. You?"

"I've been a mole in the Dark Alliance..."

"Dark Alliance? The Nazi Occult guys? I thought that was B.P.R.D.'s job..."

"No, Hal. The bastards... they're teaming up. Black Adam, Shade, Deathstroke... they're all working together. They've been killing people. Jade..."

"I know. I heard."

"And..."

"Alfred, Lucius Fox, Perry White, Arsenal, Lian, Northwind, Poison Ivy..."

"How'd you know?"

"I don't know. Lately I've had these visions. Bad stuff, they really are. Something to do with the Source Wall... Big Bang, people are dying... And when I see the end of the world, the end of the Universe, what do I see?"

"What do you see, Hal?"

"I see green. All I see is green..."

[twylight]

OOC: Sorry guy's..I'll edit it. All my steam has gone out and now I just feel stupid.

Dinah had followed Wally into the room and glanced around. They had gathered quite a group. She named off who she saw immediately.
"Superman, Hal, John, J'onn, Alan, Wally, Dr. Mid-Night.." She felt a slight inner blush at the last name. Before joling herself to reality, must have been something in that virus.

She listened intently to what everyone had to say.
The Dark Alliance thing threw her off.

"No, Hal. The bastards... they're teaming up. Black Adam, Shade, Deathstroke... they're all working together. They've been killing people. Jade..."
"Shade, THATS who the third person was. Are they keeping him as their Ace?" Thinking about it she zoned out briefly.

"I know. I heard."

"And..."

"Alfred, .... Arsenal, Lian......"

That's when her mind hit the blank. Alfred's name had been enough of a shock to her. But Roy and Lian...

She cleared her throat. "What?" she asked hoarsely as tears crept to her eyes. "What happened to Roy and Lian?"

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Who else is in the Justice League that hasn't shown up? I have a seed for an idea, but I'll need the players before I can hand out roles.

[Savage]

OOC: Edited out the whole "missing Midnite" scene by the way. Just reread his post and apparantly he's been right next to the guy and everybody just ignored him.:D

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Hasn't like five minutes passed in-game anyway? It's not that long for him to be quiet.

[Supergirl]

OOC: Sorry guy's..I'll edit it. All my steam has gone out and now I just feel stupid.

Kara stood in the room with tapes in hand. She hadn't seen this many heroes in one place since her christening as Supergirl. The Shade... that must have been the other person who killed Bart. He would have to pay for it. "Then noone is safe. None of us. If they can take out people like Jade and Bart, then they can take out any of us. Even Kal. We need to get rolling on this, we can't sit and wait for them to attack us again!"
The teleporter in the corner fired up, and more heroes walked into the room: Cyborg, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Wonder Woman, Starfire, Raven, Speedy, Green Arrow, and Superboy.
"Kara, I got your note and gathered who I could. I couldn't reach Dick or Roy, but I brought everyone I could on short notice."

[Supergirl]

OOC: Who else is in the Justice League that hasn't shown up? I have a seed for an idea, but I'll need the players before I can hand out roles.
OOC: Well, I just covered GA and WW :o Since I left Cas with Diana I assumed she'd still be there... and since Mia lives with Ollie...

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Who else is in the Justice League that hasn't shown up? I have a seed for an idea, but I'll need the players before I can hand out roles.

*Hal turned to see Dinah behind him*

"Roy and Lian are dead. I don't know how or why, but they are. Pieter here says the Dark Alliance killed them. I say we pay them a little visit. What do you think?"

[batnkevlar]

OOC: I don't want NPC's fighting... it get's out of hand...

[SuperFerret]

Kara stood in the room with tapes in hand. She hadn't seen this many heroes in one place since her christening as Supergirl. The Shade... that must have been the other person who killed Bart. He would have to pay for it. "Then noone is safe. None of us. If they can take out people like Jade and Bart, then they can take out any of us. Even Kal.

"Kara, I got your note and gathered who I could. I couldn't reach Dick or Roy, but I brought everyone I could on short notice."

I look around the room. A mighty assemblage of heroes had gathered, but was this enough? This so-called Dark Alliance had already taken down two young heroes who, had they been given the chance, could have headed the Justice League one day. I'll wait for a little longer, so any stragglers can catch up, I don't want to have to repeat myself.

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Myself and John hasn't. I'm waiting for his ass to reply. :mad:

OOC: And I'm waiting on you, mainly. Batman figures large in the plan.

[Supergirl]

OOC: I don't want NPC's fighting... it get's out of hand...
OOC: It depends how it is done, and how well the person playing the NPC's know the characters. If you're having them fight just to fight then its out of hand, but as Trop and I showed, if you handle it as seperate characters (our Kid Flash v. Slade and Shade fight with me as Bart and him as Bart and 2 villains) it can work extremely well. I know the Titan's inside and out, like the back of my hand. I could right great fights with any of the characters and not miss a beat.

*Hal turned to see Dinah behind him*

"Roy and Lian are dead. I don't know how or why, but they are. Pieter here says the Dark Alliance killed them. I say we pay them a little visit. What do you think?"

She turned to face the wall, her mind a complete blank. She tried hard to grasp a dicernable thought. It was like drowning with nothing to hold on too. There was no way she could answer Hal, but he already knew her answer anyway.
"Roy...Lian.."
Putting her hand against the wall she sqeezed her eyes shut. Everyone had lost someone and there really wasn't any need for her to make a scene. She curled her hand against the wall into a fist and leaned closer to it. Tuning out the rest of the League's discussion.
She'd seen the Teen Titans along with Wonder Woman and Ollie walk in seconds before Hal confirmed her question. Whiping her tears she turned and walked over to Mia, who's first thing she heard when she walked into the room was about Roy and Lian.
"Mia.."

OOC: O-kay Cori..:o Some help? Also I miss you..:( *sniff* No AIM...

[Supergirl]

"WHAT?!? What happened to Roy? Who's ass am I going to kick for it?"
"Who else has to die? First Bart? Now Roy... and LIAN? She was just a kid! Who would be heartless enough to kill a child? Dinah, who?"Mia has tears running down her face as she hugged her other mentor. Ollie turned away from Dinah in shame, not wanting to face her. In times of pain, his 'kids' went to her, not to him. Roy went to her when he had his addiction problem, that Ollie couldn't, no wouldn't understand and help him through. God, Roy... he had been like a son to me and now he's gone... Amidst the angry scowl on Ollie's face, a single tear ran down his cheek.

Connor and Cassie aproached Kara. "Kara, I'm so sorry... I know what its like to lose someone close to you, it's something that should never happen, but it does. It'll make you stronger, I promise." "He's right Kara, it hurts, but it'll get better, and it gives you even more purpose to do what we do." Connor thought about Tana Moon, and how much he had cared about her, while Cassie thought about her predecessor; Donna Troy.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: I really want to get into the action, so if someone can get me up to the Watchtower, that would be gravy.

[batnkevlar]

"I don't know what you guys are gonna do, but I'm going after them. Dinah? You coming with me?"

[Tropico]

OOC: It depends how it is done, and how well the person playing the NPC's know the characters. If you're having them fight just to fight then its out of hand, but as Trop and I showed, if you handle it as seperate characters (our Kid Flash v. Slade and Shade fight with me as Bart and him as Bart and 2 villains) it can work extremely well. I know the Titan's inside and out, like the back of my hand. I could right great fights with any of the characters and not miss a beat.

OOC:I think it might just be a question of numbers (you'd murdelize us) and there are too many PC's to make it really cohesive by adding NPC's too. Batnkevlar already made it celar to the Alliance that we're not to use NPC's, at least not in battles against the League.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Yeah, you can use NPC's as ways to move the plot forward, but not in battle. If you guys may or may not have noticed, RPing a battle is fun. I remember when I beat Sinestro fair and square, just using my wits and without strecthing any rules... it was fun...

[twylight]

"WHAT?!? What happened to Roy? Who's ass am I going to kick for it?"
"Who else has to die? First Bart? Now Roy... and LIAN? She was just a kid! Who would be heartless enough to kill a child? Dinah, who?"Mia has tears running down her face as she hugged her other mentor. Ollie turned away from Dinah in shame, not wanting to face her. In times of pain, his 'kids' went to her, not to him. Roy went to her when he had his addiction problem, that Ollie couldn't, no wouldn't understand and help him through. God, Roy... he had been like a son to me and now he's gone... Amidst the angry scowl on Ollie's face, a single tear ran down his cheek.


Dinah put her arms around Mia and let her tears run freely, unable to answer Mia's question. Dinah glanced at Ollie, he'd turned away from them, never one who could handle problems or grief. But she still saw a tear go down his cheek. Roy had in so many way's been Ollie's first son.
Dinah put her face on the top of Mia's head, their blonde hairs intermingling along with their tears.
Mia was so new to the world, to all of this and so was Kara. Dinah tilted her head towards Kara, the new Supergirl, neither one of them should have to go through this so early.

Straightening her neck Dinah tossed her hair back and looked around the room. The hero community was often divided up in families for easy 'cataloging' The Bat Family, Team Arrow, Supes family, and the Wonder girls, and by Teams, Teen Titans, Justice League. Everyone of them had lost someone. Wally's eyes looked as red as his costume, Alan, Kara, Starfire, Dinah stopped mentally naming off names.

Dinah rubbed Mia's back as her tears subsided, placing her hands on Mia's shoulder Dinahsaid "We're going to be okay. We're all going to be okay."
She placed her arm around Mia and glanced at Ollie, before turning her attention towards the center of the room.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Ollie's not around, is he?

[twylight]

"I don't know what you guys are gonna do, but I'm going after them. Dinah? You coming with me?"

"Wait, Hal. We need to call Batman, he should be here, and we should form a plan. We've already seen first hand what the Alliance can do." She motioned at the red eyes andtears around the room.
"There is no way we can do it unless we do it as a group."


OOC: First, like the color? Second, we need to wait for the other RPGers to catch up, why do you think I keep stalling with the waterworks? Third, the NPC's are there to add depth. I doubt if we'll be using Speedy or Wonder Woman in battle. Or Green Arrow for that matter....

[twylight]

OOC: Ollie's not around, is he?

OOC: He is, read Cori's post. But he's NPC right? Still we have to add certain characters, it's like them special appearing in our characters comics. You can't kill off characters like Roy and Lian without seeing Mia's and GA's response. Same with Jade.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: How can I hit on Black Canary with Ollie around? Not to mention he's Hal's best friend... I really want an Ollie in this RPG... but not as an NPC...

[twylight]

OOC: I doubt he'll be around long. Oh, and JKR I left an opening for you, AND Dinah still has her comm on which can connect to Batman's.

*The things I do...fixing that camera thing, which smooth move Co-RI! :p ;), leaving openings for people* ;)

[DarkKnightJRK]

John was about to speak when I heard Dinah's voice from the comm.

"Batman? It's Dinah."

Oh crap. I'm STILL trying to figure out the last time I was with her.

"What is it, Dinah?"

"You should get to the Watchtower. Something big's happening... Just--just get here."

She sounds distraut. Something bad must have happened.

"Don't worry, I'll be there as quick as I can." I end the transmission and turn to John.

"I'm heading for the Watchtower. Something's going on. You coming?"

"Alright," he replies.

Less than a minute later, both myself and John are in the center of the Watchtower. I'm the first to answer.

"What's going on?"

[batnkevlar]

"It turns out all the guys we've spent our lives defeating are teaming up. And their winning. People are dying out there, Bruce, and we need to stop them. I don't care what you're going to do. I'm going after the bastards."

[Charlie No-One]

Scarecrow exited the burning clinic. His fragile and broken mind lost in a world of bullies and hurt. He could feel power growing in him. It was time to hurt the bullies. It was time to kill Gotham’s dark knight. But they would wait…for what was coming to him was much better than the dark knight. “More power…less bullies…more power…less bullies….”

[DarkKnightJRK]

"It turns out all the guys we've spent our lives defeating are teaming up. And their winning. People are dying out there, Bruce, and we need to stop them. I don't care what you're going to do. I'm going after the bastards."

"Calm down, Hal. We have to plan this, or else there will be even more deaths. Now tell me, who's teaming up? Who's died?"

[batnkevlar]

"Dammit, I don't have time for this. I'm outta here. I gotta do something."

*Hal streaks out of the Watchtower.*

[DarkKnightJRK]

Jesus, Hal. If things are as bad as Dinah said they were, he's going to get himself killed.

"Well someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?"

[Tropico]

NOW:
Shadow imps look into the small window that leads to the basement workshop of one Rex Tyler. Rex looks up suddenly but sees nothing there, the imps whisper what they saw to the Shade who is hidden in the porch's shadow. His smile is suddenly visible, like that of the Cheshire cat, in the inky blackness; and then disappears.

15 MINUTES BACK:
Rick Tyler is taking a nap after a heavy meal. His brow furrows and he starts to stir when he suddenly sits up with a shuddering gasp and finally says "DAD!" breathlessly. He stumbles out of bed and puts on a shirt as he runs for the front door and puts on his gauntlet and injects himself with Miraclo. This way gives him a straighter line to get to his dad's house instead of a car. He curses himself for not putting a call out first. "Calm down, Rick, you've still got an hour. OR LESS!"- he said as he jumped over a house.

NOW:
The shadows beneath the workbench deepen and Rex notices it. He tries to act non-chalant but as soon as he sees them move he bolts for one of the walls. His hands move quickly and surely as eh opens the small safe and reaches for a small case marked with an hourglass symbol. Through the corner of his eye he sees the Shade standing there and extending an arm. As he starts to drop his case is snatched from his hand. A laughing imp sits inside the safe waving him bye-bye with the case and fades from existence.

10 MINUTES BACK:
Rick had snatched a cell phone from a dumbfounded bystander and tried to phone his father but there was no answer. There wasn't a JSA to call and he wasn't close enough to any of the others to know their phones by memory. "AAAAARRGH!!"- he screamed in frustration as he slammed the cell phone to the floor and broke it in a million pieces.

NOW:
Rex thightens his fist and feels the small pill inside it. He dodges the blows of a trollish shadow creature intent on hitting him. He lets the creature slam him against the wall and he reaches up and activates the emergency blackout lights. The troll backs down as it rises an arm to seemingly cover its eyes. Rex smiles and catches Shade's furious face. He also notices that the Shade is apparently searching the counters. "The tachyon imbued hourglass!!"- Rex thinks as he loses the smile and pops in the Miraclo pill in his mouth. The Shade smiles at him and Rex feels...

5 MINUTES AGO:
Rick knows that he's very close now. He wonders if his visions can be prevented, they have all come to pass exactly as he saw them. "There's still time. It hasn't been an hour yet. This one won't happen."- he's all grimy and sweaty. The property damage he has done by wantonly jumping at enhanced strength is not his concern at the moment. Screaming people and car alarms are all that is left in his wake but the only thing he can hear is the beating of his own heart.

Hal Jordan streaks out of the JLA Watchtower. His frustration is cut short as one of the visions he saw in the Source Wall hits him again like a cement truck. He sees Rex Tyler's mangled body lying crumpled on the floor and a shadowy figure standing victorious over it. It's the same vision that hit Rick Tyler.

NOW:
...small hands grab his throat and choke him. The trollish creature ducks under the lights and punches him in the stomach. An explosion of air flies out his mouth and the pill with it. "Ah, ah, ah!"- Shade says as he motions 'no' with his finger. Rex still fights like a wildcat against the shadow creatures. In a desperate move, Rex grabs a screw driver and throws it dagger-like at the Shade. The Shade steps aside and the screw driver hits a black light generator. Rex struggles free and jumps into the black beam's path only to find that it's bathing him like tar. "What did you think I was doing on the counter? Looking for something? No, dear Rex, I was making sure your little contraption was out of comission and housed a shadow demon of its own."- Shade said with a slight smile. "Damn you, Shade! What do you want?"- replied Rex furiously.

"ME? Oh, I already have what I wanted. It's one of the first things I got shortly after this little battle started. You're my second objective, Rex. Our little club is looking to be rid of you sappy heroes. Me? I agree that there are far too many of you. I aprecciate what some of you do, but frankly...who needs two Hourmen? You're lucky! You get to die and your son gets to live. He's been a worthy legacy to you, Rex. The other legacies I've killed have been of unworthy succesors." The Shade steps closer to Rex who is not only being held by the shadow goo but by the trollish thing. "What was that corny campaign they had years back? I know it had to strike a chord in you since the source of your powers are dependant on it...I remember! This is your brain..."- the Shade said as he motioned to the shadow troll and the creature ran it's paw over Rex's head-"...this is your brain on DRUGS!" The shadow troll attacked Rex viciously mangling his head and body.

SYNCHRONICITY? NOT QUITE!:

Rick dive bombs throught the roof of the house.

Shade hears the impact and prepares for the next attacker by making a shadow creature that looks like him, while he moves to an ambush location.

Rick runs down the stairs and sees his father mangled corpse.

Shade sees the second Hourman come down the stairs and flinch when he sees his father's bloodied body. "Nooo! It wasn't time it wasn't an hour..."

...yet!"-Rick screams as he rams through the "Shade" and crumbles the work bench. The tachyon hourglass spins through the air and Rick sees it as he turns around. He grabs for it, but a shadow bolt hits it. In that split second he realizes that this was what had tampered with the timing of his vision. It's his last conscious thought as he's bathed in black light and the hourglass vanishes. "Curious!"- is all that Shade says as he twiddles his fingers brushing the shadow matter from his blast away.

OOC:Okay, Batnkevlar, there's your cue.

[batnkevlar]

NOW:
Shadow imps look into the small window that leads to the basement workshop of one Rex Tyler. Rex looks up suddenly but sees nothing there, the imps whisper what they saw to the Shade who is hidden in the porch's shadow. His smile is suddenly visible, like that of the Cheshire cat, in the inky blackness; and then disappears.

"Leave him alone!"

*Hal socks Shade and knocks him backward*

"No more!"

[ThePiedPiper]

Catwoman was standing right outside of the burning clinic. The Scarecrow was walking down the corner of Main and West. “That dirty bastard,” Selina said under her breath. With that she ran after him and flipped in front of him. “You’re in the Eas..” he punched her in the stomach and released fear gas into her face. “Oh my god! Get away from me!” she said. In her eyes she was seeing an abusive father coming towards her. No.. she went into darkness.

[SuperFerret]

Jesus, Hal. If things are as bad as Dinah said they were, he's going to get himself killed.

"Well someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?"

"An alliance has been formed between some of the deadliest men on the planet, and they're killing others in our ranks." Now that Bruce was here, I could get on with my plan.

I raised my voice speaking loudly and clearly so everyone can hear me.

"As of right now, we are at war. But, rushing in and blindly attacking is not an option. We need to split into teams, so that each can achieve a certain objective that will give us the advantage. I will lead one team, and Batman will head another. Hal seems to have left, but he too will lead a team. Each will choose two or three others to work with them in their task. My team will try and reason with Black Adam; he was once a hero, and I want to know his motivations here. Batman's team will locate this Alliance's base of operations, as well as finding ways to overcome it's defenses. Hal's team will keep a close watch on the villains the Alliance hasn't contacted, ensuring that they do not bolster their ranks. Kara, Wally, you're with me. Batman, you may choose your own team, but I'd suggest Mid-nite and J'onn be a part of it."

"REX?!?!?! NOO!!!" Alan flies out of the window encased in his Green Flame.

He follows a green energy trail to where Hal is fighting Shade. He doesn't worry with the battle, all he sees is Rex's bloody body. "NOOOOOO! DAMN YOU!" He rushes towards Rex's body to tend to it. Not even the Green Flame can keep him alive.

"I guess time ran out on me, old friend," Rex said as he was fading. Blood was gushing out of his wounds as Alan did the best to hold him together.

"NO! You're not out of time. Never out of time!" Alan yelled back at him.

"I spent my whole life racing the clock, but now it finally caught up with me," Rex staggered. Suddenly Metron appeared next to them.

"Lement not, Alan Scott of Earth. You two deserve another hour." Metron said as he tossed Alan an hourglass ring. "Use this to see him when ever you like. When your hour is up, he will die. Use it wisely." Metron and Rex disappear.

"Damn. SHADE! HE WILL BE THE LAST ONE YOU MURDER!"

OCC: Was this all okay?

[Batman]

OOC:Okay,Its been over two weeks since this post.If I want to keep my character,I need to start posting more,before bat fires my ass.:o

IC:

Nightwing awoke from his sleep.

He had slept for what seemed like ages,inside a cardboard box,even though He only slept for about six hours.

He felt like some homeless bum,forced to survive on the streets.

This wasnt right.

He was NIGHTWING,for godsakes.

A man who fought alongside the earths greatest heroes,like Superman,The Flash,The Teen Titans,and was even TRAINED by Batman.

And THIS is what he was reduced to?

Sitting inside a cardboard box,without money,food,tattered clothes,and a motorcycle that could stop working at any second?

"No."

He couldnt let that happen.He WOULDNT let that happen.

Nightwing stood,with new confedence,and tore the box in half.

He didnt need it.

He wasnt about to give up.He would make it back to Gotham.He would restore himself to his former glory,because...

"Im Nightwing."He said,with his head held high.

With that,He got back on the motorcycle,and took off,determined to end this journey.

OOC:WOW...I really suck at posting.:up:

Seriously,I plan to get better..........Im just busy with other stuff.:(

Anywho,moving on.........

IC:Nightwing

Nightwing passed various Truckers and sports cars as He made his way along the highway,nearing Fawcett City.

And then,just as He went on the nearest exit.......something that He had been trying to avoid for days FINALLY happened...

The bike gave out.

It lasted for a little less than a week,which was good.......but at awkward timing.

He was ACTUALLY getting closer to Bludhaven.....and to Gotham.

Not much closer.....but closer nonetheless.

Frustrated,Nightwing kicked the bike......only to hurt his toe....which didnt help matters.


Leaving the bike behind,He started walking........and walking.........and walking........





After about fifteen minutes of walking,Nightwing was sick of it.

There had to be another way.......


At that point,He spotted the docks.Some of the workers were loading up for the night.

Curious.......well.......desperate,really.....He ran towards it,and waited for the men to leave.

Taking a break.....they left,and Nightwing snuck over to the crates.

"Come on.....There has to be a Wayne Enterprises crate in here SOMEWHERE..."He mumbled to himself,looking at the labels.

And finally....He found it.

It was big enough for him,to boot.

He felt like cheering,But he didnt want to alert the workers,so instead,He climbed inside.

Finally.....after all this time......He was one step closer to coming home.

"Jay? What are you talking about?" Asked Alan as he holds the telephone to his ear. "You're not making any sense? REX?!?!?! HE'S DEAD!?!? NO!" Alan flies out of the window encased in his Green Flame.

"Black Adam, Shade and Deathstroke are the only members I know of, Mid-nite will know more. And Impulse and Jade are among the fallen."

[Savage]

EDIT: God damn it.

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Black Adam, Shade and Deathstroke are the only members I know of, Mid-nite will know more. And Impulse and Jade are among the fallen."

"Jesus..." I reply, that's a hell of a roster. Now to choose my team.

To counter-act Black Adam, I'll need someone magical in origin...

"Diana,"

For Shade, maybe someone with similar powers can counter-act him...

"Raven,"

And with Deathstroke, I'll need a strong fighter...

"Cyborg,"

I'll need more for help, regular fighters, with both mid-range and long-range attacks.

"Dinah, Ollie," and the two Clark suggested, "J'onn, Mid-Nite."

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Don't use NPC's to fight... what'll you have? Wonder Woman decking Shade?

[Tropico]

OOC: Dwarf Lord, the post seems a little weird to me. Jay finding out and calling? And the Hourglass ring? I thought it was pretty apparent that Rex was killed. Still, my real concern is how you got there since it's a pretty big departure from your previous post.

IC:Shade winced in pain as he started to stand up. "No more? My dear boy, we're just begining."- he brushed off his coat and in doing so surreptiously touched the emerald opening communication to Adam's emerald. "So! The mighty Hald Jordan has come to punish me for being naughty. My shadows against your light, this should be entertaining." The shadow troll appeared again and grabbed Rick-"Oh, look! What horror! An innocent bystander! Whatever shall you do?" The sarcasm dripped from the Shade's words as he fired a volley of shadow bolts hoping that Hal's concern for Rick would prove to be enough of a distraction. The shadows already deepened around him and started to take the shapes of horrible creatures.

Shade's conversation after touching the emerald reverberated in Black Adam's stone; it was a devious way of asking for backup.

[TheCorpulent1]

Black Adam sat on the floor of his room. He had completely regained his strength already--the raging magical energies of Fate's Tower were as good as hooking the ancient warrior up to a dynamo--but he found the quiet a pleasant means of escaping his compatriots, and with them the memory of their distasteful acts so far, as well as the promise of more to come. His disposition towards his new associates darkened every time they claimed another victim, but he had to be strong his resolve and honor his commitment. He would have his revenge for Khandaq, and if these overeager savages were his only means of attaining it, then so be it.

But, alas, it appeared Black Adam's thoughts could not remain his own for long. He felt a warmth behind his sash and reached in to pull out the gemstone Mordru had given him. The Shade's voice came through it as clearly as if the shadow-man were standing right beside the Mighty Adam.
"So! The mighty Hald Jordan has come to punish me for being naughty. My shadows against your light, this should be entertaining."Black Adam weighed his options. He would not betray his teammate, of course--his honor was resolute even in these black affairs--but perhaps he might let the Shade stew a while...

Damn it all, no! I can't give myself over to their love of cruelty. I am better than that!

"Shade, I hear you. I will help you as soon as I can, but you must first tell me where you are!" Black Adam cursed to himself again and silently recited a Khandaqi prayer for forgiveness on his soul...

OOC: I changed Black Adam's color, obviously. Bold black was annoying me for some reason.

[batnkevlar]

IC:Shade winced in pain as he started to stand up. "No more? My dear boy, we're just begining."- he brushed off his coat and in doing so surreptiously touched the emerald opening communication to Adam's emerald. "So! The mighty Hald Jordan has come to punish me for being naughty. My shadows against your light, this should be entertaining." The shadow troll appeared again and grabbed Rick-"Oh, look! What horror! An innocent bystander! Whatever shall you do?" The sarcasm dripped from the Shade's words as he fired a volley of shadow bolts hoping that Hal's concern for Rick would prove to be enough of a distraction. The shadows already deepened around him and started to take the shapes of horrible creatures.

Shade's conversation after touching the emerald reverberated in Black Adam's stone; it was a devious way of asking for backup.

*Hal saw the shadows, yet he was not afarid. The Corps had taught him a lot.*

"In Brightest Day..."

*Hal illuminated the room in a flash of light, blinding everyone except him. He then wrested Rick from the graps of the shadow, flying him away to safety*

"...in Blackest Night..."

*Hal then forms a giant boxing glove and socks Shade again*

[Tropico]

Shade rolled with the blow and used his own shadow to teleport. He stepped out in one of the rooms of the house. He 'felt' his emerald and heard Black Adam's reply, he gave an exasperated sigh and replied- "There are some maps in a table in the study, I'm in Rex Tyler's house." With that he had an idea. He moved through the room and looked accross the street to a neighbor's house and teleported there. Shade went to the front windows where the curtains were drawn after the battle had started. "If you keep flying away, Mr. Lantern, some other people might get hurt!"- he screamed from the house.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: I actually didn't fly away...I just got rICK TO SAFETY... (sorry caps)... anyway, I'll do it your way...

*Hal flies through the roof and his feet kick Shade down*

"No Evil shall escape my sight..."

[Harlekin]

OOC: Dwarf Lord, just take out Jay. Jay can't call about Rex's death when it happened a second ago, and especially if he's not even anywhere near it. Just make it into a vision or whatever. Can we all at least try to keep it a tad bit logical?

[Supergirl]

"Kal, I think Adam's honor may be appealed to, he didn't kill me when we fought, and I'm almost positive that he could have. He did leave me in bad shape though" She points at her cuts and bruises. "And if worst comes to worst, I want a rematch."

[Nightwing.]

OOC:ok everything has happened so fast i dont even know whos where or anything.this is chaotic.weve got people telling others they cant bunny and then people being unlogical. whats happening in the arc now?is there anything J'onn can do or am i good to start my own arc.

Could the owner of a psychotic killer with the registration J O K E R please pm me immediately your character is about to be dragged into an interesting arc. Thankyou

[Harlekin]

OOC: Keyser Soze is gone for I think two weeks or something, so you will have to hold off on using the Joker.

[rigel7soldiers]

"Jesus..." I reply, that's a hell of a roster. Now to choose my team.

To counter-act Black Adam, I'll need someone magical in origin...

"Diana,"

For Shade, maybe someone with similar powers can counter-act him...

"Raven,"

And with Deathstroke, I'll need a strong fighter...

"Cyborg,"

I'll need more for help, regular fighters, with both mid-range and long-range attacks.

"Dinah, Ollie," and the two Clark suggested, "J'onn, Mid-Nite."

"About time I saw some real action. Havent really had a chance to use these things for real..." I began, gesturing towards my guns. "Just this once, please don't ask."

OOC: So..trimming off the NPC's we have, Batman, Dinah, Mid-Night and J'onn. Wow,Dinah get's to play with some 'sparkling' personalities there..:p ;)
Awesome btw, it's like all the 'classic' people ^_^

OOC:WOW...I really suck at posting.

Seriously,I plan to get better..........Im just busy with other stuff.

Anywho,moving on.........

IC:Nightwing

Nightwing passed various Truckers and sports cars as He made his way along the highway,nearing Fawcett City.

And then,just as He went on the nearest exit.......something that He had been trying to avoid for days FINALLY happened...

The bike gave out.

It lasted for a little less than a week,which was good.......but at awkward timing.

He was ACTUALLY getting closer to Bludhaven.....and to Gotham.

Not much closer.....but closer nonetheless.

Frustrated,Nightwing kicked the bike......only to hurt his toe....which didnt help matters.


Leaving the bike behind,He started walking........and walking.........and walking........





After about fifteen minutes of walking,Nightwing was sick of it.

There had to be another way.......


At that point,He spotted the docks.Some of the workers were loading up for the night.

Curious.......well.......desperate,really.....He ran towards it,and waited for the men to leave.

Taking a break.....they left,and Nightwing snuck over to the crates.

"Come on.....There has to be a Wayne Enterprises crate in here SOMEWHERE..."He mumbled to himself,looking at the labels.

And finally....He found it.

It was big enough for him,to boot.

He felt like cheering,But he didnt want to alert the workers,so instead,He climbed inside.

Finally.....after all this time......He was one step closer to coming home.

OOC: Do you want to start you're own arc? Historically Nightwing has always been with the Titans and League for big events. *Like this Alliance thing.*

Dinah looked over at Ollie, he seemed about as thrilled to she did to be on a team together. But when it came down to business it didn't really matter. Dinah understood why Bruce picked who he did, but did it have to be both her ex's? She felt slightly selfish thinking about stuff like that.
" Mother probably went the smart route, marrying someone outside the hero circle."
She glanced down at her outfit, it was one of the newer one's Babs had made, with bars on the arms and waist to protect her during fights. It wasn't one of her favorite's, but it was the first thing she could find to changed into before Wally brought her up.

Shade rolled with the blow and used his own shadow to teleport. He stepped out in one of the rooms of the house. He 'felt' his emerald and heard Black Adam's reply, he gave an exasperated sigh and replied- "There are some maps in a table in the study, I'm in Rex Tyler's house." With that he had an idea. He moved through the room and looked accross the street to a neighbor's house and teleported there. Shade went to the front windows where the curtains were drawn after the battle had started. "If you keep flying away, Mr. Lantern, some other people might get hurt!"- he screamed from the house.Black Adam sneered at the Shade's words and even more at his tone. That man is ingratiating enough that I should simply leave him to his fate, he thought, but duty is duty. Hmph, "a map." As if I didn't already make it my business to know where all of the JSA members lived during my time with them. Black Adam looked at the gem. Mordru had said that it could transport the Dark Alliance members from Earth to the Tower and back, but he never mentioned whether it could transport them to specific locations. Black Adam supposed that there was only one way to find out, so he held the gem in his hand and focused on the Tyler household. He felt the familiar chill of mystical teleportation and when he opened his eyes, he was floating in the air with Green Lantern streaking through the air below him.

Ah, Black Adam smiled. Between his own conflicted feelings about the Dark Alliance's mission, his distaste for his partners in crime, and the Parasite's interruption of his previous fight, Black Adam now found himself well beyond the mere bitterness he'd felt recovering in the Tower of Fate. He was very much infuriated now, and as he'd learned thousands of years ago, one of the best ways to let off steam was in a fight. I think I may even enjoy pulling the Shade's worthless fat out of the fire.*Hal flies through the roof and his feet kick Shade down*

"No Evil shall escape my sight..."Without another thought, Teth-Adam took off for Jordan as the hero crashed through the neighboring house. He arrived just in time to pluck Jordan off of the Shade by the neck and savagely hurl him straight through the other side of the house. Though Black Adam had come to abhor his mission, his ancient warrior upbringing still reveled in the heat of battle. "You'd better give me a good showing with all that power, Jordan. You and your kind have it too easy with your omnipotent emerald energies. You believe they set you apart--that they make you gods among men. But they only make you weak and lazy and unfit to fight for yourselves. You cannot know battle--can't feel the frenzy of single combat in your bones--until you stand your ground and crush the life from your opponent's gurgling throat with your bare hands. THAT is TRUE power, Jordan!"

[Johnny Blaze]

“AHHH OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?” screamed Crane as the man teleported into the room. “Come now, Dr. Crane. You have nothing to worry about. My name is Mordru, and I am hear to make you an offer. I am inviting you to join our crusade against the heroes. For too long they have lorded over the entire planet, bullying the weak. Forcing people to conform to their ideals under the pretense of justice. We shall brook no more. Myself and other have banded together to strike back at the heroes who reign above you and deal out their hypocritical judgments. We ask that you join our cause. Together we can free this world from their tyrannical grip forevermore.” Mordru said. “No..not again..no one deserves this..no NOT AGAIN..so many.. SO.many bullies…No…no..but all those bullies…ruining my life…they…THEY..NEED…PUNISHING!” If someone could hear in Crane’s head, they would hear his sanity snap. “Ok. Let’s punish the bullies. Punish the bullies,”
“Excellent”, Mordru says as he reaches out his hand, palm open, and the professor’s Scarecrow mask appears in a waft of green smoke, “I believe this is yours…Scarecrow.” Mordru hands the mask to Dr. Crane.

Scarecrow exited the burning clinic. His fragile and broken mind lost in a world of bullies and hurt. He could feel power growing in him. It was time to hurt the bullies. It was time to kill Gotham’s dark knight. But they would wait…for what was coming to him was much better than the dark knight. “More power…less bullies…more power…less bullies….”
Mordru followed the Doctor out of the clinic after they had set it ablaze. He would teleport them back in a moment. It had been a little while since Mordru had the pleasure of seeing some good, old fashion chaos, and he wanted to hear the screams of those burning in the clinic just a few seconds more.

Catwoman was standing right outside of the burning clinic. The Scarecrow was walking down the corner of Main and West. “That dirty bastard,” Selina said under her breath. With that she ran after him and flipped in front of him. “You’re in the Eas..” he punched her in the stomach and released fear gas into her face. “Oh my god! Get away from me!” she said. In her eyes she was seeing an abusive father coming towards her. No.. she went into darkness. Mordru was about to fry the little witch with an eldritch bolt, but his latest accomplice seemed to handle himself rather well.
“Very good, Doctor Crane. Now then”, Mordru opened an ankh shaped portal heading back to his Tower, “I believe it is time for us to depart.”

[Harlekin]

Making his way fast to the clocktower, Deathstroke chuckled as he grabbed the backpack he had been carrying along with him. Bombs and a laptop with webcam. Together with a sword and a gun, that was all a man could ever need, the Terminator thought as he walked around the clocktower, shrouded in shadows.

Making sure to avoid all of the cameras, Slade proceeded to place his bombs at carefully chosen parts, vital to the structure of the clocktower. It would fall into itself with the explosion and cause minimum collateral damage for the city of Gotham.

With a grin, Slade broke into a nearby store, making sure to appear prominently in front of the cameras in his Batman outfit. Hooking up his laptop to the store's systems, he was able to control the explosives from a relatively safe distance. And he wanted to do one other thing as well. Adjusting the webcam to focus on the Batman logo, the Slade used whatever computer skills he had to hack onto Oracle's systems, making the screen of the Batman logo appear on her computers.

"Ms. Gordon? You have three minutes to leave the tower. Run." with that last word, Slade let the webcam focus on his face as he gave a chuckle. He was sent to get rid of her equipment, not Oracle herself. Besides, she's useless without her equipment... right?

He switched off the power, set the store aflame, and watched the fire and the oncoming destruction of the clocktower from a nearby rooftop.

[DarkKnightJRK]

"About time I saw some real action. Havent really had a chance to use these things for real..." I began, gesturing towards my guns. "Just this once, please don't ask."

I look at the guns below him. While I've seen him with them before while I was at the Reservoir, I'm still trying to figure that out. I'll ask him when we get to a secure location.

Dinah gave Mia one last hug.
"Be careful." She said before walking to stand next to Bruce.
Dinah looked over at Ollie, he seemed about as thrilled to she did to be on a team together. But when it came down to business it didn't really matter. Dinah understood why Bruce picked who he did, but did it have to be both her ex's? She felt slightly selfish thinking about stuff like that.
" Mother probably went the smart route, marrying someone outside the hero circle."
She glanced down at her outfit, it was one of the newer one's Babs had made, with bars on the arms and waist to protect her during fights. It wasn't one of her favorite's, but it was the first thing she could find to changed into before Wally brought her up.

When everyone was situated into the group, I managed to get everyone's attention.

"We'll meet at the Clocktower in Gotham to start our mission."

I walk towards the transporter, with the others either next to me or behind me. I set the corridence to the Clocktower and in moments we are inside...

...With the whole Clocktower collapsing into itself.

First thing, find Barbara.

"Look for the survailance, see if someone suspicious is there!" I yell out to my team, looking around for Barbara. I find her trying to reach for the elevator. I pick her up from the wheelchair and head back. "Diana, get Barbara down to the ground." She nods and grabs Barbara and starts floating down. "Anyone have who's out there?"

"Can't tell. The survailance is down, probably the whole power is," Cyborg replies.

"Alright, let's get out of here," I command, and considering the falling rubble, no one minds.

A few minutes later, the rest of us have either dropped, shot out an line, or levitated out of the collapsing building. Diana gets to us soon afterwards, telling me that Barbara is secure.

We look over and see the cause of this. I can almost feel the rest of the group double-glancing at both myself and the cause. Finally, Ollie says what everyone's thinking.

"It's...you."

[Phantasm]

OOC: AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!I've been out for SO DAMN long!!!Sorry, I know but...there's just not much to do as Babs unless she's needed ya know?

Okay...whatever happened to the Clocktower?!

[Harlekin]

OOC: So DKR, you watched the tapes or are you seeing me on some kind of rooftop? That was a bit vague. And Phantasm, the clocktower has just been destroyed courtesy of Deathstroke, dressed as Batman.

[Phantasm]

OOC: I think JRk had Ollie say 'you' pointing at Batman.And where did Diana put Babs?!

[Harlekin]

OOC: Thanks Phant.

IC:
Deathstroke looks back at the astonished faces, with a smile that the devil himself wouldn't wear. "Did you really expect it'd be somebody else?" He let out a hearty laugh as he continued. "Loose the compatriots Bats and lets see you try and reclaim this mantle." he said with a smile as he tapped on the Batman logo "Although maybe the birdy might want in..."

Readying his sword, Slade waited silently for his opponents, holding his hand near the emerald diamond in his belt, if Bats decided not to comply, and he would need a quick way out.

[Nightwing.]

OOC:Um.....IM playing Nightwing....:confused:

so im being bunnyed personally by you?i wondered why i was doing things against my will

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: I think JRk had Ollie say 'you' pointing at Batman.And where did Diana put Babs?!

OOC: You can basically be anywhere, let's just say a block away or something like that.

Deathstroke looks back at the astonished faces, with a smile that the devil himself wouldn't wear. "Did you really expect it'd be somebody else?" He let out a hearty laugh as he continued.

Deathstroke expects me to want to fight this alone, since he's wearing my costume. So, of cource, that's the last thing I'm going to do.

"J'onn, try getting into Slade's mind, you might get the location of the alliance that way. Cyborg, Diana, Mid-Nite, Dinah, you're my back up, take any escape route he might try to take. Raven, if any of us is beaten, transport them out and try to heal them. Ollie, try to pick him off with your bow.

"I'll handle Deathstroke."

[Johnny Blaze]

Arriving inside the Tower of Fate, Mordru gives the Scarecrow a brief tour and then returns them to the main room. Turning to his new ally, Mordru says, “Now then, through that door over there”, Mordru points to Dr. Crane’s left, “you will find a suitable lab to concoct a mass quantity of your fear toxin. We shall need gallons of it to strike fear into the hearts of the heroes.”

Mordru begins to walk towards his chamber’s door, when he stops and turns around. “Oh, before I forget, here”, says the Dark Lord as he tosses a green emerald to the Master of Fear. “This jewel will allow you safe passage to and from my Tower anytime you with. Likewise it will also keep you from getting lost in the labyrinthine maze that is the Tower of Fate. Finally, this jewel, like the ones given to your new colleagues, is mystically attuned specifically to you. So, only you may use your jewel. Now then, I have stratagems to plot.”

The Dark Lord walks towards, and opens his chamber door. Before he closes it behind him, he says. “Remember, Scarecrow, we will need a massive amount of your fear inducing brew. So, I suggest you get started.”
As Mordru closes the door behind him, it disappears completely…

[Charlie No-One]

The Scarecrow looked in amazement at his lab. Is this real? “So many…so..many bullies,” Scarecrow muttered. He opened up his sack and took out a vale. The fear toxin. “I’d better begin,”

After 4 hours, Dr. Crane had made over mass quantizes of the gas thanks to the machines in the labs. “This will due..this will due,” mumbled Crane. I better take this to Mordru. Pulling out the crystal, he followed it to where he was meant to be.

*Hal looked at Black Adam and Shade and stood his ground. As a beam of green the diamter of a pencil burried into the ground behind him, his ring formed a huge hand. The hand stuck out it's finger, beckoning for the two to "bring it on"*

"Let all who worship Evil's might..."

[Phantasm]

IC:Babs Gordon


The night air ruffles my hair as I crawl towards the edge of the rooftop Diana drooped me off at. It was 'secure' she said but since when did I sit somewhere safely while people were in a situation to potentially get hurt? Okay... since my lower half was forced into uselessness... My mind is reeling. The clocktower was blown to bits yet another time...

damn...

Making me feel useless once again.

Perched on my knees, I lift myself to the edge and look down at the scene unfolding below. Helpless...a silent observer...

[Batman]

He had fallen asleep inside the crate......And then,He woke up after the crate began to move.

Seconds later,He was being sat down.

He waited until he stopped hearing footsteps,and got out.

FINALLY,after all this time,He was home.

Back home,in Go.....

He looked over at a sign.

"....You HAVE to be kidding me."

The METROPOLIS Pier.

"DAMMIT!!"He yelled,for what seemed like the 3,000th time on this trip.

He wasnt far from Gotham or Bludhaven,per say.....in fact,they were both next to Metropolis.But......He still had a little way to go.

So,vehicle...less,He walked away from the pier,and began walking into the city.

Maybe Clark could give him a lift.......He doubted it,though,considering Clark was a very busy man.

So,forgetting that idea,He continued into the city.

[Phantasm]

OOC: Poor Nightwing...you just don't give hm a rest do you?!

*Hal looked at Black Adam and Shade and stood his ground. As a beam of green the diamter of a pencil burried into the ground behind him, his ring formed a huge hand. The hand stuck out it's finger, beckoning for the two to "bring it on"*

"Let all who worship Evil's might...""Oh, very mature, Jordan. Need I remind you, however, that I was at the hero game a lot longer than you've been? I know better than most that you 'heroes' are, by nature, the ones who must come for US? After all, who knows what we might do?" Black Adam slammed his fist through the ground and tore the flooring away beneath Hal's feet. He pounced on the Lantern while he was off balance and began strangling him. Hal's shield automatically sprang up to protect him, and Black Adam's mystical strength wrestled with Hal's indomitable will. The ancient warrior's fingers pressed ever closer around Jordan's throat.

[twylight]

OOC: You are this close -l l- to having me spout off again.
That whole Clocktower thing didn't even leave time for Babs to call for us, which was so much MORE logical than Everyone and their brother transporting to the Clocktower.
If you're going to use a character PM them and let them know.
And if we're using NCP's to play then its really not much use for other people even to play. Using Diana is all right and good..but why even bother with Dinah, Ollie, Mid-Night Raven, or Cyborg when Diana can pretty much beat the tar out of him and J'onn *NOT an NPC* can render him a 3 year old child?

To be honest, there is really no place for me to go with Dinah.

Deathstroke expects me to want to fight this alone, since he's wearing my costume. So, of cource, that's the last thing I'm going to do.

"J'onn, try getting into Slade's mind, you might get the location of the alliance that way. Cyborg, Diana, Mid-Nite, Dinah, you're my back up, take any escape route he might try to take. Raven, if any of us is beaten, transport them out and try to heal them. Ollie, try to pick him off with your bow.

"I'll handle Deathstroke."
IC:
Dinah transported down with the rest, only to be greeted with a burning inferno.

"Babs! BABS!"

She heard Bruce tell Diana to find Babs so she ran down the stairs and out the door, with Ollie and Mid-Night close behind.

Dinah stepped back and watched the clocktower go up in flames as it collapsed. Her heart sinking, Barbara always kept a back-up of all her information in a seperate location, but thousands of dollars worth of equipment, not to mention Babs own personal belongings wre nothing more than the black smoke rising into the sky.


"It's...you."

She turned her head that the sound of Ollie's voice. The heat from the fire whipped strands of her hair across her face and bathed her with warmth.
Pushing her hair away she blinked once.
Bruce was standing there and...watched as the cowl came off to reveal Deathstroke.

"Did you really expect it'd be somebody else?"
He let out a hearty laugh as he continued. "Loose the compatriots Bats and lets see you try and reclaim this mantle."
he said with a smile as he tapped on the Batman logo
"Although maybe the birdy might want in..."

Dinah clenched her hands.

She heard Batman's level voice say.
"J'onn, try getting into Slade's mind, you might get the location of the alliance that way. Cyborg, Diana, Mid-Nite, Dinah, you're my back up, take any escape route he might try to take. Raven, if any of us is beaten, transport them out and try to heal them. Ollie, try to pick him off with your bow.

"I'll handle Deathstroke."

She nodded, taking up a position off to Slades left. Close enough to still be in the fires warmth, she watched Slade's and Bruce's silhouetted figures against the orange and red flames.

[Tropico]

*Hal flies through the roof and his feet kick Shade down*

"No Evil shall escape my sight..."

Hal bursts through the roof and a hail of dangerous debris pelts Shade before his kick sends him down. Beside them is an unconscious woman, a purplis welt marks the impact point of one of the roof pieces and while the part of her hair cover her eye and the piece of wood that's protruding from it.

The roof burst in again as Black Adam sends Hal back and away from the Shade. The Shade gives his thanks in between coughs and watches as the twoo men fight. They square off and the Shade finds himself baffled by Hal's attempt to be "hip". Adam takes matters into his own hands and as he chokes Hal the Shade takes action- "What was it you said previously? In blackest night? I think I can oblige you there." The Shade gestured and the shadows rose from the floor engulfing Hal's face. Not only were they smothering him, but now he was effectively blind as well. A trio of imps went for his ring hand and proceeded to do their best to take the ring away even if it called for biting it off.
