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

[batnkevlar]

"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.

*Hal Jordan glowed green, brighter than normal. His life would not be taken from him. As Black Adam's clammy hands closed around his neck, Hal stayed calm. His eyes closed. His body was still intact with the ground, and his gurgling throat, filling with blood uttered...*

"Beware my power..."

[batnkevlar]

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.

OOC: Can't Shade absorb my energy into his cane?

[Tropico]

OOC: No he can't. This is the DC comics Shade, not the JLU animated Shade.

[batnkevlar]

Ooc: K...

[batnkevlar]

OOC: IF Black Adam is gonna try and kill me, just try it... if Shade is gonna take my ring, take it... or better yet, take my ring then kill me...

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Huh? You've got like a million ways out of what we're doing to you.

[Tropico]

OOC: Yeah. I thought you said his body was intact? But there's rising blood in his throat? There ARE many ways for you to get out of this, for all we know you already called for backup. :confused: The Alliance will not kill any PC's unless it's of mutual accord. I wouldn't do anything as crass as take Hal's ring away unless you posted it.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: True, but I want another person to try something before I do...

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: I guess we could wait for the others to show up and rescue you. Or isn't Dwarf lord's Alan Scott around there now, too?

[batnkevlar]

OOC: No. This is my fight. I don't need anyone to rescue me...

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Then I don't get what you're waiting for. You've got two supervillains actively trying to kill you. I don't really have anything to add, Black Adam's basically just gonna keep strangling you until eventually his strength overcomes your will or Shade's little shadow-monkeys get your ring off and your head pops like a grape.

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Ok, so Hal, Alan, Batman, Dinah, Cyborg (NPC), Ollie (NPC), Mid-Nite, Raven (NPC), and Wonder Woman (NPC) are not currently in the Watchtower, correct?
So, that leaves Superman, Supergirl, Beast Boy (NPC), Flash, J'onn, and John Stewart in the Watchtower still, right?

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Then I don't get what you're waiting for. You've got two supervillains actively trying to kill you. I don't really have anything to add, Black Adam's basically just gonna keep strangling you until eventually his strength overcomes your will or Shade's little shadow-monkeys get your ring off and your head pops like a grape.

OOC: True... ok, I got something...

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: ... 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?

OOC: I could have done that, but Batman wouldn't have. It's just dumb to rely on one thing to get things done. What I did was just create backups apon backups apon backups.

This is just Bats playing the general role.

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

OOC: Uh...dis-obey and get involved in the fight? Just a thought.

[Phantasm]

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?



I have to say I agree.Sure, I was...'out' teh whole time, but you could always have pmed me saying that Babs was needed in the plot and all...and this would have been a great scene for Babs who usually misses out on all the action... :(

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.

*Hal spat at Black Adam, his spit hitting him in the left eye*

*Hal exploded in a blaze of Oan energy. His ring glowed brighter than before. As he exploded, shards of emeralds fly outwards. He will not be taken down so easily.*

"...GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!!!"

Mordru watched the events unfold in the scrying mirrors. Save for the Scarecrow, every one of his allies was engaged in combat with the hero menace. With a wave of his hand, Mordru opens a scrying mirror to view the events happening in the Watchtower.

“So, half of their flock is off engaging my cohorts in battle”, says the Dark Lord as he stands up from his ebony throne. “I believe the time has come to make my strike upon their abode, wouldn’t you agree, Hector?”

Mordru walks towards the door, “Of course you agree.”

Mordru leaves his chamber, the door disappearing behind him. As he entered the main room, he came across the Scarecrow.
“Professor Crane…I trust all is well?”

[Harlekin]

"I'll handle Deathstroke?" Deathstroke says with a chuckle as he looks over to Batman "Don't worry about my mind Martian. You won't find anything useful to you, if you can even get in." He tapped his head with a sinister glee while he put up his sword "Ready, Bat-boy?"

[Karem-Knight]

Two Face sat at his new home relaxing watching the local news. He enjoyed drinking a few jack Daniels. But he something was missing he had one proplem left in his under world conquer, THE BATMAN! He needed too think on how too rid Gotham of him.

“It’s MY City!” Dent said he relaxed on his sofa thinking thinking

[Batman]

IC:

Nightwing had spent half the night walking through Metropolis.......He was,to put it lightly,"beat".

As it became earlier in the morning,Nightwing had gotten the sign he was looking for all of this time.....

WELCOME TO GOTHAM CITY

City Limits



"FINA-F**KING-LY"He proclaimed,resting on the highway.

He checked his weapons,to see if he'd have to re-load on the way in.

Two-Batarangs,A Grapple,And a....

"...Oh,You CANT be serious."

An EXTRA COM-LINK.

He had it this whole time.

He could've easily called for someone to pick him up,and instead,He spent weeks traveling the states.....the HARD way.

Well....Only one way to end this trip..

"DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He yelled at the top of his lungs,for a final time.


After settling with the frustration,He activated the com,and spoke into it,with a somewhat hoarse voice.

"....Th..This....Is....N...Night...wing.......B..Ba tman?...Oracle?....ANYONE?.....Come in....."

He listened for a response.



OOC:Batmans a little....busy...at the moment,so I know He cant come.Same with Dinah,Babs,and Tim.And Alfreds dead....

So.....IS there anyone to respond?

Does the com-link reach The Watchtower?

[Nightwing.]

IC: Martian Manhunter

J'onn wandered round the watchtower. He decided it was in his best interest to locate every member of the Justice League that was out there. If he could find what they were doing then he could allocate back up if required.

He got to the central control terminal

"This is Manhunter. Could everyone please report back to me as soon as possible so i know your current situations and also find out if you require assistance. We have a few guys here waiting for something to do so report back immediately"

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: Nightwing, J'onn's with Batman and Mid-Nite and BC. They're figting D'Stroke

OOC: Nightwing, J'onn's with Batman and Mid-Nite and BC. They're figting D'Stroke

since when.ive been in the sppedorce with flash and then in the tower i havent moved and no one better of damn well bunnied me.i never gave em permission to

[Supergirl]

OOC: Since when the rest of us were in the tower and you were picked to be on Batman's Strike Force...

[Tropico]

Hal's ring shines brighter, so much so, the it dissipates the shadow imps clawing at his hand. The light also took away the shadow shroud and Hal spat Adam's face. Adam's face was livid with anger at such a dishonorable gesture from one of Earth's supposedly greatest heroes. There wasn't time to watch much more as Hal kept glowing brighter . Shade placed himself within a Shadow dome just in time to absorb some of the emerald shards while others ripped through. One of them nicked Shade in the arm and he cursed in pain, he retreated into the Shadowlands as more shards ripped his inky black cover away.

The woman who owned the house didn't survive the barrage, what the roof had started; Hal finished in a burst of power. Hal was glowing too brightly for direct attacks from the Shade, but he made a shadow dragon that brought part of the roof down on Hal. Adam had, apparently, been thrown clear of the emerald barrage and didn't look worse for wear.

[Nightwing.]

well no one told me and ive been online for a while.i was in an arc with wally i said if i could help i would then it just got crazy and i lost where everyone was.but noone should have bunnied me.so im not fighting along side batman cos im waiting for the joker to return as id already arranged an arc with him.

[Nightwing.]

well you can do what ya want with jonn as im resigning from the dc rpg see ya

[Supergirl]

OOC: Never mind.

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Ok, so I guess that means there's one less person that can attack Slade now. :D :o :(

[DarkKnightJRK]

"I'll handle Deathstroke?" Deathstroke says with a chuckle as he looks over to Batman "Don't worry about my mind Martian. You won't find anything useful to you, if you can even get in." He tapped his head with a sinister glee while he put up his sword "Ready, Bat-boy?"

I take two Batarangs in both my hands and got into a stance.

"Ready."

[Supergirl]

Kara was growing impatient, waiting for her cousin's order to move on Black Adam. Damnit, Bart is dead, and we're just standing around waiting for other heroes to fall. At least Batman's team is in action. Maybe I can sneak off and join them. Kara snuck out of the main room and flew out of the airlock blazing down to Gotham. Hovering high in the air so that anyone who saw her would think she was a bird, she saw Batman ready himself with two batarangs. Just then her super-hearing picked up a weak transmission over JLA secured lines "....Th..This....Is....N...Night...wing.......B..Ba tman?...Oracle?....ANYONE?.....Come in....." She tracked the source and found a very weary Nightwing about to keel over near the outskirts of Gotham. "Nightwing! What happened? Are you alright? Here, I'll get you to the Watch Tower." She pressed a button on her belt, and one of the teleporters in the tower tracked her location, firing up and materializing the two young heroes back into the tower.

*Hal created an orb around him that protected him from the falling roof. His body then adds on layers of green armor*

"What the hell do you guys want?!"

[Batman]

Nightwing was barely concious.

In his call for help,He had grown surprisingly weaker with each passing moment.

He heard Supergirls voice.It was the first familiar voice He had heard in such a long time.

He would've said something to her,but He could barely move.

It seemed all the stress and the lack of food had gotten to him.

He felt like He was going to pass out by the time They teleported up to the tower.

And finally.....He gave out.

His conciousness was lost within an instant,and He was out cold....for the moment,anyway.

[Harlekin]

"Only two Bruce?" Slade said with a sneer as he pulled back the cowl back over his head, and grabbed his gun, aiming for the two batarangs "Call me dissapointed."

[DarkKnightJRK]

I throw the batarangs at him. One hits the barrel of the gun, the other striking a nerve at the elbow. He won't be able to fire a gun for a while.

Then I took out an expiramental weapon I've been meaning to test. What looks like a big bat. I press a button and a large blade appears from it: a Batsword.

I thank any diety possible that Slade didn't have his mask on, because the look on his face is damn near priceless.

[Harlekin]

OOC: Actually, he is wearing the mask now. For some reason somebody unmasked me via a bunny, so I put it back on.

IC:
"What's next, repellant-spray?" Deathstroke remarks with a sneer as he drops his gun and with his other hand grabs his sword. "It's time to begin." With that, Slade charges for Batman, bringing his sword up to slash at the Batman.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: You said you took the cowl off, so I assumed that you weren't wearing a mask.

IC:

He charges at me with his sword, I block it with my guantlets and pull the sword away from his hands.

I grab from my belt a little special tool: a hyper-sonic emmiter. It's powerful enough to make any dogs or super-hearing metahumans bleed from the ears for a while. I press that on his temple and watch the "fun."

For some perverted reason, he thought he could do this in MY costume. He thought he could potentially kill the people I trust with MY symbol.

THAT is his mistake. His perversion of all that I stand for has pushed me from my general "grumpy" mood to a full-fledged pissed-off attitude.

I grab my sword and slice into the front of the costume, at the Bat that he's wearing. I stop slicing and start ripping into the fabric, until there's nothing left of it but some strange armor underneith. I probably can't cut through it, but I sure as hell can try.

I am going to beat him. If he is part of this "Dark Alliance," then I'm going to force every single bit of information out of him.

And if I have to cut something off in the process, then it's fine by me.

[Harlekin]

OOC: I put the cowl back on. I could've been more specific I guess, but since I already pointed out that someone had somehow unmasked me but oh well... But seriously dude, I've got an enchanted armor and sword. Your gauntlets can't hold a sword that breaks through Jade's GL shields and you can't just cut through my armor with a simple Bat-sword. He's wearing the armor underneath the bat costume.

He's wearing the armor underneath the bat costume.

OOC: Oh, I thought you meant that you took the cowl off.

I didn't BREAK the sword, I just blocked it and threw it away. I thought that was fairly clear.

I didn't hear anything about some "enchanted armor." But I assumed that the costume would have been simple cloth so I could slice through that easily. I'll edit so I just go thorugh the costume.

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Mordru enchanted the armor and his sword in the Tower of Fate.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Mordru enchanted the armor and his sword in the Tower of Fate.

OOC: Ah, that was HOW LONG AGO? Just because I'm playing Batman doesn't mean I'm bloody perfect. :p

[Spike_x1]

OOC:.... well, you should be. :p

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Ah, that was HOW LONG AGO? Just because I'm playing Batman doesn't mean I'm bloody perfect. :p
OOC: Right before Slade came to Gotham. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC:.... well, you should be. :pOOC: Seriously, I'm not getting the feeling that you could take down God, even with prep time. :(

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Not with that attitude.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Hell, Lex has preptime too... but, alas, Lex is gone...

[twylight]

OOC: Move it too OOC thread Boy's. :p ;)

[Phantasm]

OOC:Is anyone playing J'onn?
IC: Babs Gordon


I thought I'd seen a flicker of what appeared to be Supergirl hovering over the scene below...what the hell was up with that. My curiosisty piqued, I try to connect to her but realize that my Comm. Link isn't working.

Heaving a frustrated sigh, I land my gaze down below again and am pleased to see Batman doing pretty well. Not that I'm surprised but, as hard as it is sometimes to accept, he is only human after all.

The impending feeling of uselessness spreads across me...nagging at the edges of me until something strikes me...

With J'onn up in the watchtower, a comm. link isn't ALWAYS needed. Tucking my hair behind my ears, I clench my fists, focusing with every fiber of my being, 'J'onn...transport me up there....'

If I can get my hands on some computer of sorts...I'd be doing something!

[Tropico]

OOC: I think Nightwing quiot a couple of posts back.

[Spike_x1]

OOC: I don't really blame him. He was bunnied out of his own storyline and into a major fight, without his knowledge or consent.

[Tropico]

OOC: It was something easily edited. I think he might have found his plate fuller than he thought now that he has other RPG interests.

[SuperFerret]

OOC: It's funny, I decide that I'll post more, and then I disappear. :rolleyes: Sorry about my absense, my friend who's in the army is back for a week, and I've been hanging out with him alot.

I'm worried about what's to come. Black Adam is magically-powered, which is a bad thing for Kara and I; if he decides to attack us rather than listen. Wally's my back-up plan for that occurance. I'm so lost in thought that I don't notice Kara's departure. I move to a nearby computer console and begin a search for Adam, hoping to find him quickly.

OOC: Where's BA anyway?

[Harlekin]

OOC: I didn't BREAK the sword, I just blocked it and threw it away. I thought that was fairly clear.
OOC: No, what I meant was that Deathstroke's sword could very well break the gauntlets. But it doesn't matter, we'll keep it as it is.

IC:
Slade stumbles backwards for a bit, taken unaware by the hyper-sonic emmiter. Wearily he is able to grab his mechanized bo staff, making it extend and swipe at the emmiter. As it falls to the ground, the Terminator's foot is firmly planted on the machine, destroying it. He hadn't expected Bats to fight dirty so soon in the battle, even after their last bout.

"You don't get it do you Bats? You can't stop us!" Deathstroke shouts as he swipes the bo staff against the Batman's feet, using his enhanced strength to make the Dark Knight fall back onto the rooftop. As he places the bo staff firmly against the Knight's chin, Deathstroke feels the rain start to drop. "How poetic."

[Tropico]

OOC: Black Adam and Shade are fighting Hal in a hose in front of Rex (Hourman) Tyler.

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: Black Adam and Shade are fighting Hal in a hose in front of Rex (Hourman) Tyler.
OOC: They're fighting in a hose!? :eek:
Now THAT is one helluva feat to pull off. :D :up:

[Nightwing.]

OOC: Ok a few things i want to point out and apologise for

Firstly i wish to apologise for kicking off when i found out i was bunnied.
Secondly if its possible id like to take control of J'onn again please so long as i dont get bunnied without consent.
Just fill me in on where i am now and ill resume from there if thats ok with everyone else

[Phantasm]

OOC:Well...Oracle obviously needs your assistance at the moment.Look at my post above...

[Phantasm]

IC:Oracle

I smile up greatfully at J'onn. "Thanks. Though, Something to sit and transport me around the place would be nice..."

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Welcome back, Nightwing. For what it's worth, I apologize for the possible bunnying. I was the one who came up with the plan that caused it, so I'm partly responsible. Let's just keep it with J'onn in the Watchtower.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Yeah, that was me that did the actual bunnying. Sorry about that, NW. :(

I use my legs and sweep Slade off his feet in a completely un-romantic and more agonizing fasion...well, for me, at least. I'm not sure about him...

I decide that the symbol isn't enough to cut off, so I tackle him back to the ground and proceed to rip off the cowl.

He doesn't deserve to even touch my cowl, let alone wear it.

OOC: Is Oracle male or female?

OOC: Oracle used to be Batgirl.

OOC: Another one of those song-posts.

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

"Why, am I noticing a little jealousy there Bruce?" Deathstroke says with an almost insane glee as he positions his feet and pushes the Batman off of him. Pulling off the shredded remains of his cowl, he looks over to his opponent, and throws the mask away. ”Think maybe I could do a better job? Keep Gotham and your little Robins just a little bit safer?”

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Rising up, Deathstroke follows up by delivering a quick slap to the face of the man before him. ”It’s time you embraced it Bruce, your fate.” While talking, Deathstroke did not relent and delivered a quick blow to the hero’s abdomen.

”I tried being a hero, tried being a mercenary.” Another blow. ”But I’m a villain Wayne. Always was, always will be.” A kick. ”Now you’re trying just as bad Wayne, trying to be something you’re not.” Another blow sends the Dark Knight back for a bit. Deathstroke holds back, not instinctively, he wants the Knight to see what he’s doing. He doubts the Batman is hardly even hurt at all.

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

”I’ve killed children Bruce. Women, children, it didn’t matter. I let my daughter kill a little girl in her sleep and I ended up killing her father. And it hardly meant a thing. I could’ve spat on the graves of your colleagues.” Deathstroke said as he looked over to the sidelines to see the expression of the Black Canary as he admitted his part in the murder of Lian and Arsenal.

”It gave me a change Bruce. Let me see what I am!” Again, Deathstroke did not relent, and kept up his assault ”And now you need to see what you are Bruce. How you failed your dearest. How you are not a hero. You are just a man!”

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

”This has been in the making since our battle weeks ago Brucey!”

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

”One more round Bruce, or a million more. It’s up to you!”

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

”Now show me who the Batman really is.” No more holding back. The real fight starts now.

[TheCorpulent1]

*Hal created an orb around him that protected him from the falling roof. His body then adds on layers of green armor*

"What the hell do you guys want?!"Black Adam floated gracefully out of the open roof of the house back into the Tyler home, putting some space between himself and Hal. "Want? I wanted nothing more than to simply assist my compatriot--but at this point I don't even care what the Shade aimed to accomplish here. All I'm concerned with after your dishonorable behavior," Black Adam wiped the last of Hal's spit from his eye, "is your BLOOD!"

Black Adam took off, faster than the eye could see, leaving a sonic boom in his wake that brought the rest of the Tyler house crumbling down into a pile of rubble. The Egyptian general smashed straight into Hal's armored midsection without slowing down. Black Adam arced downward and he and Hal blurred through the back wall of the house Hal was in mere inches above the ground. They moved through the air like a green and black rocket, Black Adam accelerating even more as Hal crashed through one house after another, all the way down the street. Finally, at the end of the block, Black Adam came to complete halt, leaving Hal to slam through two more houses across the street before his momentum finally ran out.

"I realize you probably didn't feel that through your cowardly armor, but that wasn't the point of this exercise anyway." Black Adam turned around, hoping Hal's eyes followed his own. Half of the houses on the block he'd just taken Hal through were 2 stories. After Hal's massive, armored body plowed through their first stories, the second stories were all creaking ominously, obviously in a very real and present danger of crumbling down under their own unsupported weight.

"Your carelessness, crashing down through the roof of the Tylers' neighbors, has already resulted in one death, Jordan. How many, I wonder, will die when their homes fall apart around them, again thanks to your massive, construct-covered body? I'll leave you to ponder that as I make my exit." Black Adam pulled the gem from behind his sash and vanished in a flash.

OOC: ****, don't exit... I wanted to do something... I had an idea, dammit...

[Phantasm]

so she cant fly or anything like that then?cool cheers

LOL!
No. She can barely even walk.Well, in the comics she is completely paralized waist down, but in the RP, I have her on the brink of regaining the usage of her legs...So asked for a wheel chair of sorts. :) Something FAR from jets and stuff!

hhmmm...You don't read many Batman comics do you?

[Supergirl]

OOC: ****, don't exit... I wanted to do something... I had an idea, dammit...
OOC: Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think Hal would be more worried about the innocents than continuing a battle any way... You should count it as a blessing that he left... :confused:

[Charlie No-One]

Mordru watched the events unfold in the scrying mirrors. Save for the Scarecrow, every one of his allies was engaged in combat with the hero menace. With a wave of his hand, Mordru opens a scrying mirror to view the events happening in the Watchtower.

“So, half of their flock is off engaging my cohorts in battle”, says the Dark Lord as he stands up from his ebony throne. “I believe the time has come to make my strike upon their abode, wouldn’t you agree, Hector?”

Mordru walks towards the door, “Of course you agree.”

Mordru leaves his chamber, the door disappearing behind him. As he entered the main room, he came across the Scarecrow.
“Professor Crane…I trust all is well?”

"Yes. Fear gas for everyone," the Scarecrow joked.

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think Hal would be more worried about the innocents than continuing a battle any way...That was kind of what I had in mind...

[Supergirl]

OOC: Hell, during our fight I even tried to keep it away from the civilians...

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Another one of those song-posts.

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

"Why, am I noticing a little jealousy there Bruce?" Deathstroke says with an almost insane glee as he positions his feet and pushes the Batman off of him. Pulling off the shredded remains of his cowl, he looks over to his opponent, and throws the mask away. ”Think maybe I could do a better job? Keep Gotham and your little Robins just a little bit safer?”

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Rising up, Deathstroke follows up by delivering a quick slap to the face of the man before him. ”It’s time you embraced it Bruce, your fate.” While talking, Deathstroke did not relent and delivered a quick blow to the hero’s abdomen.

”I tried being a hero, tried being a mercenary.” Another blow. ”But I’m a villain Wayne. Always was, always will be.” A kick. ”Now you’re trying just as bad Wayne, trying to be something you’re not.” Another blow sends the Dark Knight back for a bit. Deathstroke holds back, not instinctively, he wants the Knight to see what he’s doing. He doubts the Batman is hardly even hurt at all.

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

”I’ve killed children Bruce. Women, children, it didn’t matter. I let my daughter kill a little girl in her sleep and I ended up killing her father. And it hardly meant a thing. I could’ve spat on the graves of your colleagues.” Deathstroke said as he looked over to the sidelines to see the expression of the Black Canary as he admitted his part in the murder of Lian and Arsenal.

”It gave me a change Bruce. Let me see what I am!” Again, Deathstroke did not relent, and kept up his assault ”And now you need to see what you are Bruce. How you failed your dearest. How you are not a hero. You are just a man!”

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

”This has been in the making since our battle weeks ago Brucey!”

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing

”One more round Bruce, or a million more. It’s up to you!”

”Now show me who the Batman really is.” No more holding back. The real fight starts now.

OOC: That song kicks ass. :up: Though, I'm not sure how it fits, because the song is basically about a stalker. :|

IC:

"I'll admit, you have one thing right: I am only a man."

Slade raises his bo stick and starts swinging. I can barely dodge them, but I know how to defeat him. I need to use nerve points, strike at parts of the body, make him lose his advantage over me. To do this, I need him to keep talking, distract himself.

"I am many things. I am a vigilantie, I am an outlaw, hell, I am even a disturbed, f**ked-up individual. But the one, true, undenyable fact is: I am better than you."

I punch into a nerve at the hip of the left leg, not even an act of God can move it now.

"I don't have my daughters murder other children. I don't kill others for money. I am a man, but you are nothing but a monster."

He swings the bo again and I grasp it with my hand. He tries to pull it away but my grip stays firm. I use the stick and bash it right on his head. He drops to the ground and I use the bo to start choking his neck.

"You are going to tell me where the Dark Alliance is, so that my family will not be harmed. Or else..."

I take the sword and aim it for the exposed eye.

"...We'll see how far you will go in our fight blind."

[Tropico]

The Shade had stepped outside the house when he heard the boom. Later he saw with satisfaction how Black Adam took it to Hal. He teleported closer and looked back at the gutted structures of the house. He saw how Hal was still bristling after Adam's attack. He smiled furiously and teleported near the GL.

"You've already killed one innocent and disregarded that. What will you do next, hmmmmmm?"- Shade said as a herd of shadow rhinos appeared. "Doesn't that look awfully menacing?"- he said as he teleported to another place, but still within Hal's earshot. The rhinoes started stampeding and going through the already damaged houses. There was no doubt now that the structural integrity of the houses were at the brink of collapsing.

Shade moved yet again. "If it isn't boringly apparent by now, we're taking care of the so called heroes. We would have continued this battle...but you, sir, are NO hero. Look at the street and start redeeming yourself." Out of the shadows the corpse of the woman from the first house appeared. "It's too late for this one, and the funny thing is that YOU killed her, neither I nor my compatriot did. I hope you placed young Mr. Tyler in a safer place than those houses. Toodles..."- Shade finished as he vanished.

[batnkevlar]

*Hal looked around. His anger had taken control of him. He had acted without thinking and it had already cost the life of one woman. With the will power burning inside of him, he suspended the house pieces and lifted them high into the air. Getting the damage away from the people was one thing. Where the people would have to stay, that's another...*

[Harlekin]

"Are you ****ing kidding me?" Deathstroke sarcastically remarks as he swings at the sword, sending it skidding across the rooftop. Before the Bat has any time to react, Slade rolled away and grabbed his shotgun. The pain in his left hip is excruciating but the Terminator perseveres.

"Did you forget the bleedin' healing factor!?" he shouts as he sees the Batman already grab his bo staff. "Like I wouldn't guard my own weapons?" With the tap of a single button on his belt, an electrical shock is sent through the staff that would kill any ordinary man. Bats' outfit will take most of the impact.

A single shot was fired simultanously.

"In case you were wondering. That's your kneecap ripped to shreds."

[Supergirl]

OOC: I won't be getting back til late tonight, Master Bruce, or SuperFerret if you need Kara feel free to bunny her. I'll post when I'm back.

[rigel7soldiers]

A single shot was fired simultanously.

"In case you were wondering. That's your kneecap ripped to shreds."

"Alright, I've seen enough." with that, I iced up D'Stroke, leaving only his head untouched, mostly because I was't sure if he'd be able to breathe or not. I went over to tend to Batman... pretty bad. Couldn't treat it there, though I wrapped it up so he won't lose too much blood. "Batman's down. Unless he says otherwise, we find shelter and fix up that kneecap."

[Harlekin]

"I'm not one of your novice villains Mid-Nite. I know you were the Judas in our ranks. We know you stole the Icicle's gun. You surprised me though, using a villain's weapon." While Deathstroke talked he used the artificial eye, disguised by his ever-present patch to trigger a heat-emittion from his armor, that slowly started to melt the ice around him.

Mid-Nite was focused on tending to the Batman's wound, and using the stealth that came with his years of experience, Slade had no trouble sneaking up to the good doctor before giving the man a good punch in the face, destroying the goggles that covered for his blindness. "How's the view?" The Terminator asked as he gave him a kick that would send him over the edge of the rooftop.

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: Umm.... is it night-time? 'Cause Mid-Nite isn't blind in the dark...

[Harlekin]

OOC: As far as I know its daylight. Slade had been clinging to the shadows before this fight started, and other events happening at the same time should be during daylight as well from what I have figured. So that means you're blind.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: You do know that Batman's costume is a kevlar/nomex weave, right? So a shotgun blast would at best leave a good-sized welt and at worst break the kneecap.

[Harlekin]

OOC: Yeah, I'm pretty much going for a break as well. Slade is just being an ass. Mid-Nite determined the situation in the end though, but you can go either way.

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Ok, I'll run with it...sort-of...

IC:

The spray of bullets from Slade's shotgun lodges itself into the kevlar of my costume. It probably shattered the kneecap and some shots went through the skin, but the worst is probably the kneecap. Mid-Nite runs towards me and I get an idea.

I saw flashes of Deathstroke sneaking behind Mid-Nite. At first I planned to warn him, but this might give me a decent distraction.

As Slade punched Mid-Nite's goggles off, I took an exploding Batarang and lodged it right at the last place a man wants a sharp, explosive thing to be. I pull my cape over me to give some protection from the impending fire. It explodes, blasting Slade back a dozen feet or so away.

I don't care what kind of armor he has, that HURT.

OOC: Yeah, I just blew your nuts off. :D

[Harlekin]

OOC: I kicked Mid-Nite away after the punch and you are bleeding. Rigel stated so as he patched you up. Lord knows Slade has the reflexes to dodge this kind of thing. It really doesn't make sense. I'm practically right next to you, and you let an explosive go off? By all rights, you're dead.

[Tropico]

OOC:Gonna be a jerk and say that either this Batman is taking Venom or Deathstroke is stoned by the way this fight is going.:confused:

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Okay, made some small edits. Should make more sense now.

[Harlekin]

OOC: Did you miss the part where I kicked Mid-Nite OFF THE ROOFTOP? And a cape still won't protect from you a friggin' POINT BLANK explosive going off.

[Savage]

OOC: LOL. This is pretty damn funny so far.:D...Hey, while I'm here, is Shade still somewhere in the neighborhood of the whole Hal Jordan thing? Also if anyone can help, how strong is Flash's aura? Like what's the most it can protect itself from since he's allowed to go so friggin fast? Just need to take notes here since this is a pretty big storyline and I'm bound to get into a fight or two.

[Tropico]

OOC: Nope, the Shade left. He was THAT disgusted with Hal's behavior.:p:D j/k

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Did you miss the part where I kicked Mid-Nite OFF THE ROOFTOP? And a cape still won't protect from you a friggin' POINT BLANK explosive going off.

OOC: Yeah, missed that part. Stop...EDIT TIME.

And the cape is a nomex weave, same as the suit, it would give some protection against the fire from the explosion. Wouldn't do much for the force of it, but it's better than nothing.

[Harlekin]

OOC: I also never knew Batman was willing to use such rather lethal methods... I'll come with something, anything. A bit surprised by the turn of events that have taken place. I understand Bats is pissed but... Although I would propose a change of post, I'm willing to let it slide and either post later or tomorrow.

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: A lot of the heroes seem to be skirting dangerously close to the line, don't they? The RPG is like angst incarnate. ;)

[Spike_x1]

OOC: I love being a villain who doesn't give a s**t who gets hurt. Nothing's too edgy to post. :D

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: I don't know about the others, but it's a plot point for me...

[rigel7soldiers]

The thing about being blind, is that the other senses pick up the slack. Not with me, though. Not really. Managed to grab onto the edge. Can't see. Of course, I DO carry my glasses with me, in case something like this happens. The first thing I saw was the explosion. I saw D'Stroke. And an opportunity. Both guns at the ready, I tried to figure out what to do next. Not much time before he comes to...

[Tropico]

Shade reappears inside the tower. His portal loses the green flames around the edges but keeps open. A small impish creature steps out and gives him a small case with an hourglass design on it. "Here, master! As requested."- says the small creature as it offers the small box. "Well done! This should be a powerful equalizer. After today, I'm troubled by these heroes' attitudes. Our unexpected encounter today was like being promised a fine wine and instead finding out that it was vinegar. Nevertheless, there are enough of these ring users that 2 or 3 won't be missed. Perhaps a little Absinthe will chase the unpleasant taste of this day away."- Shade said as he started to walk away.

He felt a small tug on his pant leg and he looked down, irritated. "Excuse, master. Forgot this. Not requested, but got anyway."- said the small creature while trembling. Shade was actually surprised and could only offer a "curious and curiouser!" as he wondered at the small hourglass.

[twylight]

OOC: First off..I am so freakin' confused.
Where are they? On the roof or on the ground? Did I miss a change of scenery? :confused:
Also..*Yes, just nickname me the harping Harpy* :o Ya'll don't seen to have the tiny little fight plot points worked out. Is there a way for you two to communicate before you post your respected replies?
Because this fight is just so good that all the OOC posts mar it. :(
If no IM's maybe PM's?

OOC: ...That post made me cry. You're really good, and I wasn't even on to react to it. :(

[twylight]

Dinah watched the fight from a distance, wanting to jump in at any number of times, but restraining.
Bruce said he wanted Slade, and while it seemed totally egotistical and ‘macho manly’ of him, she wasn’t about to insert her opinion in the middle of a fight.
She listened to Deathstroke egg Bruce on in silence until he said.

”I’ve killed children Bruce. Women, children, it didn’t matter. I let my daughter kill a little girl in her sleep and I ended up killing her father. And it hardly meant a thing. I could’ve spat on the graves of your colleagues.”

A cold chill went up her and she stood stunned, as a single hot tear ran down her face.
She felt her brain race ahead as if to catch up with the information.

"Alright, I've seen enough."
"Batman's down. Unless he says otherwise, we find shelter and fix up that kneecap."

She watched as Pieter bent over Bruce, the shock rolled like waves over her, it was almost easier not knowing who did it. She glanced over at Ollie a few rooftops away, she was almost glad he didn’t hear that.

She clenched her fists, and swung around to face Deathstroke.
“You Ba..” She started turning just in time to see Deathstroke behind Pieter.

“Mid-Nite!” She yelled as he was throw towards the edge.
After that everything happened as a blur, she saw Bruce pull something from his belt as Pieter grabbed the edge of the roof.
Throwing herself away from Batman and Deathstroke she rolled and ran for Pieter, grabbing his wrists, she braced her feet against the roof, and pulled him up, using his weight as leverage.
“You okay?” She asked.
Not waiting for an answer She glanced over at Batman and Deathstroke. Bruce still had his cape over him, and Deathstroke had stumbled back.

Straightening up she stared at him as images of Roy and Lian flooded her mind. She’d always been taught not to make it personal, or about revenge. But it was so hard.

Running she picked up Batman’s Bo staff and lunged at Deathstroke.

“You Bastard!” She screamed






OOC: Hope that's good enough. :)

OOC: It's great

IC: "Yeah. I'm cool. I'll get Batman. Think you can hold him off?"

I asked Batman how he was holding up. Didn't look good. Won't be able to walk for God knows how long. No, not good at all.

"What now, man? Stay here and fight, or get you to somewhere I can help you? You're the boss..."

[Phantasm]

IC:Oracle

I look at J'onn realizing that whatever was happening down there couldn't be good. "Batman and Slade are in a fight, and the rest of them are bound to get themselves involved. We need to keep track of them and see if they need assistance. Can you get me access to a wheel chair and a computer system?" I ask him again.

Straightening up she stared at him as images of Roy and Lian flooded her mind. She’d always been taught not to make it personal, or about revenge. But it was so hard.

Running she picked up Batman’s Bo staff and lunged at Deathstroke.

“You Bastard!” She screamed






OOC: Hope that's good enough. :)

OOC: Great post, the only thing is that I didn't have a bo staff, it was a Batsword. ;)

IC:

I notice Mid-Nite standing next to me. "What now, man? Stay here and fight, or get you to somewhere I can help you? You're the boss..."

I try to shift my leg, pain reaches my brain and proceeds to tap-dance across it. I feel something shifting inside, probably the stray pellet from the shotgun blast. I take one of my batarangs and rip into that section, mumbling to myself. "Stupid bi-weave suit, it should have protected me from this..." I take the batarang and dig into the wound, eventually getting the pellet out between blinding amounts of sheer pain. Even for Mid-Nite's lack of vision, he's grimising. "As soon as this is over I'm going back to the drawing board, this is simply not working anymore. Probably something with more padding..." I continue to mumble to myself as I pick myself back up.

I tried stepping on the leg but the pain sheers through, almost driving me back. Mid-Nite must have heard this, for he was at my side seconds afterwards. I push him away and catch Dinah lauching herself at Slade.

I have to help her.

"Don't worry, Mid-Nite," I say, "I've fought through worse."

With that, I try my best to run and not limp back to the fight.

[Tropico]

OOC:The only staff around is Slade's power staff and he already shocked Bats when he tried to use it.

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: LOL. This is pretty damn funny so far.:D...Hey, while I'm here, is Shade still somewhere in the neighborhood of the whole Hal Jordan thing? Also if anyone can help, how strong is Flash's aura? Like what's the most it can protect itself from since he's allowed to go so friggin fast? Just need to take notes here since this is a pretty big storyline and I'm bound to get into a fight or two.

"Yes. Fear gas for everyone," the Scarecrow joked. “Excellent news.” In the blink of an eye, Mordru transports them both back to the lab.

Back in the laboratory, Mordru walks over and inspects the containers of fear gas. “Well done, Scarecrow. Well done indeed.”
Mordru turns to Professor Crane, “I’d say you have earned this…”
Mordru stretches his arm out to his side, and a green bladed scythe appears in it. “This weapon is the Scythe of Alton Devire, a dark necromancer from the age of Camelot. His magical scythe can sheer through steel like a hot knife through butter. It is lightweight, easy to wield for a man of your stature.”

Mordru hands the scythe to the Scarecrow, “I came across it millennia ago in my quest for trinkets of magical power, and it is my gift to you.”

[Supergirl]

Kara notices Nightwing's collapse, and softly lifts him off the steel floor. She carries him to Batman's quarters and sets him on the bed in the room. "You get some rest, we're gonna need you."

She walks out to the conference room again. "Kal, we need to make our move. Any news of where Adam may be? Or updates on the situation on Gotham?"

[Savage]

OOC: Oh. My. God. Dude, you are the KING! I'm gonna really have some fun now.:D
Just wish there was something to do.

[Harlekin]

OOC: ...That post made me cry. You're really good, and I wasn't even on to react to it. :(
OOC: Thanks Twy, and I'm going to try and keep the OOC posts to a minimum.

IC:
"Thank you Mordru." Deathstroke silently whispered as he skidded across the floor. If it weren't for his enchantments, he would have been 'crippled' in that area for the rest of his life. Still hurt like hell, but he wasn't the Terminator for nothing. Just in time to see the Black Canary come running.

"What is it with you people and using my weapons!?" He remarks as he once again pushes the button on his belt, sending a more subdued shock through the bo-staff. After the earlier charge, this shock is only capable of sending the Canary reeling. Close enough to Slade though for him to jab her right under the ribcage. Direct to the liver. He throws her away as he hears the vomit fighting its way out.

"And the Dark Avenger. You can hardly walk man." Slade says as he grabs his bo staff and jumps for the Dark Knight, making a strike for the hurt knee.

[Phantasm]

OOC:OWW!!This is getting messy!
NIGHTWING respond as J'onn!Babs needs to help them!

[Nightwing.]

LOL!
No. She can barely even walk.Well, in the comics she is completely paralized waist down, but in the RP, I have her on the brink of regaining the usage of her legs...So asked for a wheel chair of sorts. :) Something FAR from jets and stuff!

hhmmm...You don't read many Batman comics do you?

aaah no i dont read many and i certainly didnt know that.

[Nightwing.]

IC:Oracle

I look at J'onn realizing that whatever was happening down there couldn't be good. "Batman and Slade are in a fight, and the rest of them are bound to get themselves involved. We need to keep track of them and see if they need assistance. Can you get me access to a wheel chair and a computer system?" I ask him again.

"indeed bare with me" J'onn becomes tangible and slips through the floor. He then appears in the doorway with very neat little wheelchair. He lifts Oracle into it and wheels her to a small terminal and console on a lower level. "Allow me to try once again to contact anyone still out there. We may be able to get Batman some assistance." Oracle nodded as she tapped away at the keyboard.

"This is J'onn. Could any of the Justice League not in conflict please contact the watchtower immediately. Anyone else who was assigned missions that have now completed them also contact me. Batman is in need of assistance and we need as many able bodied people here as we can get." Oracle broke off from what she was doing and turned the wheelchair around. "and whats that supposed to mean?" She was grinning whilst she said so Manhunter knew there was no insult taken but he apologised any way "Im sorry Babara if you took any offence to that statement. It wasnt aimed at yourself. I can clearly see you are more able bodied than most" She continued to tap away.

[Phantasm]

IC:Oracle

Smiling slightly, I turn back to the task at hand. I connect to Batman, hoping that I won't serve as a distraction of sorts." Batman. Oracle here.I'm in the Watchtower. Do you need asistance? Does anyone else there for that matter?" I look up his vital stats on the screen.He didn't look so good.

[Savage]

*I am so getting tired of sitting here twiddling my thumbs while the world goes to hell in a handbag, waiting for more news of the deaths the people I care about. I go over to J'onn and Oracle and notice Bats, Canary, and Mid-Nite getting slaughtered down in Gotham*

"They went down with more people than that. Where are they?"

[Charlie No-One]

The Scarecrow looked at the gift that was being handed to him. The green scythe was glowing in the dim lab. “Th…thank you sir,” Scarecrow stuttered. He looked over his shoulder to see a steel support on the table. Swinging his arm, the Scythe of Alton Devire cut right through the metal, sending the table to the floor. He looked at what he had done in amazement.

“What shall I do next?”

[ThePiedPiper]

Musty sewage and rays of street lamps caught Catwoman’s face. She had been out for an hour and could only hope no one saw her. Unleashing her whip, Selina managed to crawl to a roof top.

“Batman? Are you there? Scarecrow is on the loose some where,”

[Phantasm]

*I am so getting tired of sitting here twiddling my thumbs while the world goes to hell in a handbag, waiting for more news of the deaths the people I care about. I go over to J'onn and Oracle and notice Bats, Canary, and Mid-Nite getting slaughtered down in Gotham*

"They went down with more people than that. Where are they?"

IC:Oracle

I turn to face Flash standing beside us, "We're trying to figure that out Flash. Batman hasn't responded yet."

[Nightwing.]

IC:Oracle

I turn to face Flash standing beside us, "We're trying to figure that out Flash. Batman hasn't responded yet."

J'onn steps in. "No-one has for that matter. There is either some exterior force in play preventing us from contacting or something is seriously up." He turns to Oracle. "Do you think you can take care of things up here?I think Flash and I need to go help Batman out and also see what exactly is going on down there" He turns back to Flash "Flash get the jet ready. If we have casualties we may need to stow them away. Also pack as much fire power as you can onto the jet. We may need it"

[Phantasm]

IC: Oracle

"Sure." If I know Bruce well enough...he wouldn't want all the JL in a battle he was personally engaged with...his pride probably won't let him appreciate their assistance...but desperate times call for desperate measures. "They obviously need help. I'll stay connected to you so I can assist you from up here in any way possible."

[Savage]

"Done."

*Gotta help someone since Supes is taking his sweet time waiting for Black Adam to show up on the radar again so they can talk it out. That's Supes for ya. Always trying to see the best in people even if it means being totally oblivious to the obvious.*

"Jet's packed 'n ready to go. We gonna do this or we gonna do this?"

[Nightwing.]

"Done."

*Gotta help someone since Supes is taking his sweet time waiting for Black Adam to show up on the radar again so they can talk it out. That's Supes for ya. Always trying to see the best in people even if it means being totally oblivious to the obvious.*

"Jet's packed 'n ready to go. We gonna do this or we gonna do this?"

"Very well. Let us depart." Turning to Babara. "Keep on comm. link just in case you need assistance. Oh and if anyone else turns up let us know. We may need help ourselves." J'onn turned and headed to the jet. He floated into the cockpit and started the engine. "Ok Wally when we get there I want you to scout the area and tell me exactly who's there what their situations are and also any ambushes that we can expect." The jet took off into the atmosphere of earth. They flew towards Gotham. "Ok Flash where do we go from here?"

[Johnny Blaze]

The Scarecrow looked at the gift that was being handed to him. The green scythe was glowing in the dim lab. “Th…thank you sir,” Scarecrow stuttered. He looked over his shoulder to see a steel support on the table. Swinging his arm, the Scythe of Alton Devire cut right through the metal, sending the table to the floor. He looked at what he had done in amazement.

“What shall I do next?”
“You may do what you wish, for now. I have work to do with these containers of fear gas you have created.”
Mordru walks back over to the fear gas canisters, moving up right next to them.
“I believe Black Adam and the Shade have just returned. You should introduce yourself to your new allies”, says Mordru with a smile.
The Dark Lord then disappears with the containers of fear gas in a flare of green fire. Back to his chamber Mordru has gone. Back to cast his spells on the fear gas to increase its power.

Returning back to his chamber, the Dark Lord called up a pair of mystical scrying mirrors. With a glance, the Dark Lord attuned the first mirror to watch the battle ensuing in Gotham between Deathstroke and Batman, and the other to view the heroes in their Watchtower.

Mordru then began his work, casting spells on the fear gas, preparing it to suit his needs.

[Savage]

"Very well. Let us depart." Turning to Babara. "Keep on comm. link just in case you need assistance. Oh and if anyone else turns up let us know. We may need help ourselves."

The jet took off into the atmosphere of earth. They flew towards Gotham. "Ok Flash where do we go from here?"
*Before I could answer back my jaw dropped at shock of seeing what's left on the clocktower. I knew what happened. I even saw it on the computers at the Watchtower...But to see it with my very own eyes...God,, they are not pulling any punches with this one. I struggled to regain my composer. Gotta take control of my anger and use it.*

"Uh-uh-The park. Gotham City Park. Just park there, turn the cloaking device on. It's a safe distance from the clocktower but not too far and if another building goes down there's no risk of it doing any harm to it."

*I've been waiting to get my hands on Slade Wilson. Everyone has. His destruction of the clocktower is just crap on the compost heap he has to answer for.*

*J'onn Lands the Javalin and I'm the first one out of there. I make a quick round to servey the area and just whatever everyone is doing but I don't return to him. If he wants any information then he can just read my mind cause handing that bastard his own ass on a plate is my first priority, regardless of the plan. Right now I don't care. He killed Bart and I'll be damned if he ain't gonna answer for it.*

*Slade reaches back with his staff and I use that little momentum against him, grabbing the the staff and pulling him, sending him flying through a rooftop door and down the stairs at superspeed.*

*I turn to Bats and notice his injured knee.*

"You were going to call for help when?"

[Harlekin]

"Great. The cavalry has arrived." Deathstroke says with a smirk as he checks his wounds. They'll patch up, and he'll need to lie down later, for a long while, in a good bed. No time for that now though, he thinks to himself as he grabs a pair of special made bullets from his belt, perfect for the Flash, loading them into his shotgun. "You're not the only clever boy in town Bruce."

Grabbing the emerald with his other hand, he smiles and thinks back to the rooftop, to the Flash, probably right next to Batman. Just need to home on in him a little. Thank god for magic. In a second and with a bright emerald glow, the Terminator appears right next to the Flash and fires his gun, heading straight for the superhero's stomach. "Dodge."

[Johnny Blaze]

Mordru saw in the scrying mirror that his ally, Deathstroke, was being grossly outnumbered.
“Well now, we absolutely must do something about that”, says the Dark Lord as he rises from his work and teleports to Gotham. Before he goes, he sends out a mystical command into the main room of his Tower.
“Deathstroke requires assistance near the clocktower in Gotham.”

Arriving in Gotham, Mordru surveyed the scene as he floated above the battle. His teammate, Deathstroke, was standing alone against impossible numbers. It was time to even the odds a bit. With a blast of mystical fury, he blows the one call Cyborg apart. He may not be dead, but it will be a long time before he rejoins this war.
Seeing Mordru appear and attack Victor from his rooftop vantage point, Green Arrow fires a trio of explosive arrows at the Dark Lord. The arrows explode against the mystical shields Mordru has in place causing no damage to him. The Dark Lord’s eyes blaze with a green fire, and Ollie’s bowstring snaps off at one end and begins to strangle him as though it were alive. Unable to break the grip, Green Arrow slips into unconsciousness.
Mordru floats closer towards the battle, “Hello, heroes. Your angel of death has arrived.”

[Tropico]

Shade stopped pouring his drink and paid attention to Mordru's announcement. He smiled and opened up a portal- "More fun! And so soon!" Shade made his trip through the Shadow Lands and looked in form Batman's shadow. He got a pretty good perspective of the situation except to his back, where Mordru was. "This is going to take QUITE a lot of effort!"- he said to himself. From out of everyone on the roof's shadows came out inky black hands clawing at them. Shadow scorpions began pouring out of the rest of the shadows in the roof.

[Savage]

"Great. The cavalry has arrived." Deathstroke says with a smirk as he checks his wounds. They'll patch up, and he'll need to lie down later, for a long while, in a good bed. No time for that now though, he thinks to himself as he grabs a pair of special made bullets from his belt, perfect for the Flash, loading them into his shotgun.

*STUPID!*
:BLAM!:
*So f**king arrogant! You idiot! Could have dodged it but by reflex I tried to vibrate through.*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! !!"
*Underestimated him! Idiot!*

[Savage]

[Harlekin]

"Did exactly what I expected, fool." Slade remarked happily as Wally phased his molecules. "What I just fired into you were vibrational bullets attuned to your frequency. The bullet is firmly lodged into your abdomen, and if you don't get medical treatment soon, you will die."

[Nightwing.]

J'onn enters the tower and immediately picks Batman up. "Im ok just go check what Flash is upto" When he hears Batman say this J'onn fears what trouble Wally could be in but no sooner can he walk away from Batman when Deathstroke comes crashing to the floor in front of him. "I think Flash is fine" J'onn smiles

[Nightwing.]

OOC:sorry my post should be before harlekins

IC: "WALLY!!!" J'onn rushes over to Flash as fast as he can. Deathstroke just stands and laughes. "It aint good buddy. I wasnt fast enough for these bullets" J'onn decides to try something. "Hold still" Manhunter causes his hand to go tangible and reaches into Flash's body. Within seconds the bullets are out. J'onn throws them at Slade's feet. "Not laughing now are you?!" Flash rises to his feet whilst Manhunter changes his form to a huge grotesque beast. "This is where you stop"

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: FYI, Savage, Wally is not that well versed in Speed Force tricks, at least not on the level of Dark Flash and Savitar who are pretty much masters of the Speed Force.

OOC: Holy s**t. This is what happens when a man decides to sleep in. :eek:

IC:

Things have escalated in nano-seconds. Even I am having a hard time figuring out the details. At first I was knocked over again by this goddamn knee and the next thing I know, half the Justice League and all of the Dark Alliance is here and J'onn has me in a very unmasculante position.

"J'onn, put me down." He says nothing. "J'ONN. I can handle this." I take a button from my ultility belt and a few seconds later the Batmobile appears. "Remember: MY city." I lower myself out of J'onn's grasp, weary of my injury. "Mid-Nite's walking out there blind, and Dinah's down somewhere, you need to get them first."

“No, Martian, this is where you burn in the fires of my hate”, says Mordru as he snaps his finger and mystical flames engulf J’onn. The Martian screams in fright as the flames ripple across his body.
“Come now, Manhunter. You did not expect me to enter this fray without knowing my opponents, did you? I know your weakness is the flame, and the magical blaze will roast the skin from your bones. Who knows, you may survive it, but I doubt you’ll be doing any fighting anytime soon.”

Mordru waves his hand and Slade disappears, “We’re finished here, but allow me to leave you with a parting gift.”

Before Slade vanishes from the scene, he leaves a parting remark, "We were right under your noses and you never knew, up in our ivory Tower."

The Dark Lord disappears…and reappears behind Raven. “Goodbye, child of Trigon”, says the Dark Lord as emerald beams blast from his eyes and engulf the girl. Raven screams in utter agony for a split second before becoming silenced forevermore. As her charred corpse hits the rooftop, Mordru fades away back to his Tower…his malevolent laughter still ringing in the hero’s ears after he is gone…

[Nightwing.]

"AAAAAHHHHHHH"J'onn continued to scream as the flames engulfed him and wrapped around his limbs. He fell to his hands and knees and begged for help. "Please!!Batman, Flash, somebody help me!" He fell fully to the floor as the flames licked the skin across his back.

[Savage]

*J'onn! I heal up most of the hole left by the bullet and overcome the remaing pain and run around him as fast as humanly possible. Magical or not, I'm sucking the fire right out of him.*

*What's left is a blackened Martian Manhunter. He'll recover but what do I do with the frickin FLAMES chasing me halfway around the world?!*

[Nightwing.]

J'onn coughs but still remains motionless on the floor. He can't physically rise to his feet. "Barbara....Please..teleport...me!"

[Supergirl]

After Flash and J'Onn left, Kara got even more anxious. "Damn it all, Kal, I'm tired of sitting around waiting for more of my friends to die. I'm going to go help in Gotham, if you finally decide that it's time to go after Adam, you know where to find me."

She burst out of the airlock and back down to Gotham just in time to see J'Onn burst into flames, and Rave drop as a blackened body.

All that I could think of
Was this would be the last time
That we’d talk about anything
You took away my heroes
Can you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Please don’t let it rain
Take away my pain
I’m not frightened anymore
I’ll be knocking at your door

Damn it Clark, if we would have all struck as one, this wouldn't have happened.

She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, ’what else can you do, babe?
I guess I won’t be coming home again.’
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain

Take away my pain
Please don’t let it rain
Take away my pain
I’m not frightened anymore
Just stay with me tonight
I’m tired of this fight
Soon I’ll be knocking at your door

As much Clark wants me too, I'm not going to be able to hold back when we do fight these bastards.

His final scene
The actor bows
And all those dreams
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls
There’ll be no encore after all

I was sitting on the edge of my bed
Staring at the paper through my tears
It read, ’say goodbye to jesus’
The world he left will never be the same
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain

Being trained by the Amazons, I don't have Clark's stigma against killing, and he'd hate to hear me say that. But this situation certainly warrants lethal force. They aren't men that we're fighting, they're monsters. She saw J'Onn twitch a slight bit. Great Rao! Is he still alive?

Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
Time to let it rain
There’s nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I’m not frightened anymore
I’m learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knocking at my door...

Keep knocking, keep knocking
Knocking at my door

Then she saw Flash take the flames with him. Doesn't he realize the destruction that will cause? I have to put them out! She inhaled as deeply as she could with her superbreath, sucking all the oxygen and the flames in the area back to her and smothering the fire with no oxygen left to feed it.

OOC: Thought I'd try one of these fancy song posts. The song is Take Away My Pain by Dream Theater :)

[Savage]

*Man, what a relief! Thank god for Kara.*
":SIGHS!: Oh GOD, thank you! I had no idea what to do with frickin magic fire and I doubt water would have done the job."

[twylight]

"Are you ****ing kidding me?" Deathstroke sarcastically remarks as he swings at the sword, sending it skidding across the rooftop. Before the Bat has any time to react, Slade rolled away and grabbed his shotgun. The pain in his left hip is excruciating but the Terminator perseveres.

"Did you forget the bleedin' healing factor!?" he shouts as he sees the Batman already grab his bo staff. "Like I wouldn't guard my own weapons?" With the tap of a single button on his belt, an electrical shock is sent through the staff that would kill any ordinary man. Bats' outfit will take most of the impact.

A single shot was fired simultanously.

"In case you were wondering. That's your kneecap ripped to shreds."

OOC:The only staff around is Slade's power staff and he already shocked Bats when he tried to use it.

OOC: Now I see what speed reading will get me. :o ;)
Hey, I'm not perfect, though I'm as close as you can get. :p ;)

OOC: Thanks Twy, and I'm going to try and keep the OOC posts to a minimum.

IC:
"Thank you Mordru." Deathstroke silently whispered as he skidded across the floor. If it weren't for his enchantments, he would have been 'crippled' in that area for the rest of his life. Still hurt like hell, but he wasn't the Terminator for nothing. Just in time to see the Black Canary come running.

"What is it with you people and using my weapons!?" He remarks as he once again pushes the button on his belt, sending a more subdued shock through the bo-staff. After the earlier charge, this shock is only capable of sending the Canary reeling. Close enough to Slade though for him to jab her right under the ribcage. Direct to the liver. He throws her away as he hears the vomit fighting its way out.

"And the Dark Avenger. You can hardly walk man." Slade says as he grabs his bo staff and jumps for the Dark Knight, making a strike for the hurt knee.


Holding her stomach Dinah fell to her knees and vomited the little food she had in her.
"Stupid, going for a frontal attack. Never attack when you're angry, it blurs your concentration." It was one of the first things she learned and she had failed it badly.
After that she dry heaved as tears came out the corners of her eyes. She hazily saw Slade go for Bruce's hurt knee.

After that everything was a blur, Mordru, Flash, J'onn. Suddenly her shadow reached for her. Gasping she rolled away from it as the hands grabbed at her.
"How do you get rid of a shadow?"
She thought as what looked like scorpions pored out of the roofs shadows.
Holding her stomach she shakily stood up, seeing Deathstroke appear next to Wally.
"FLASH!" She called trying to beat off the shadows, as she gagged. Where were they coming from?

Too late, he was hit by whatever Slade shot him with, dry heaving again Dinah hit the ground on her knees and blanked out to the world around her.
Lifting her head she saw J'onn in flames and Mordru vanish and then appear behind Raven.

“We’re finished here, but allow me to leave you with a parting gift.”
“Goodbye, child of Trigon”

"No. NO!"

Emerald beams blast from Mordru's eyes and engulf the girl.
Raven screams in utter agony for a split second before becoming silenced forevermore. As her charred corpse hits the rooftop, Mordru fades away.
His laughter still ringing against the rooftop.

Dinah groaned as Flash went for J'onn and Supergirl appeared to help, at least J'onn was alright.
All the 'back-up's' from the tower looked in much better condition, even Wally seemed to be non the worse for wear.

Standing up shakily she saw Bruce was gone. Pieter had been with him, but now..he was blind during the day, and as much as he'd hate to admit it, he was weakend by this fact.

"Dr. Mid-Nite? Mid-Nite!"

[DarkKnightJRK]

Flash and J'onn are gone, transported back to the Watchtower. Slade and Mordu escaped, but not before killing ANOTHER one of us, Raven. Slade did mention something before he left, an "ivory tower."

Ivory tower...

"Everyone," I call out into the comm., "I know where their HQ is.

"They're at the Tower of Fate."

[Nightwing.]

J'onn lay in the teleporter. there wasnt much else he could do. "Hey Barbara any chance i could get a wheelchair too?" She turned and looked in shock at the charred cadabre

OOC: I'm in the watchtower now?:confused: When did J'onn and I get transported? Oh well. I can deal.

IC:
*Doing alot better now. The wound is healed up although I still feel a tad shakey. I walked over to the few heroes that were in the tower which included an extra crispy martian and Oracle.*

"That went well."

[Phantasm]

OOC:OOH MAN, I missed a lot again.

IC: Oracle


I gasp in shock at the blakened form of Martian Manhunter collapsed on the floor. "J'onn!" I wheel towards him as fast as I can. "It's okay..." I connect the comm link to the medical bay. "This is Oracle. The Martian Manhunter needs assistance imeadiately." I get off my chair and sit down on the floor next to him, waiting for the medical teams to arriave and carry him away to hopefully get proper care.

Good to see someone took Trop's post into account. :D :up:

As J'onn gets laid on a stretcher and carried away by the Meds, I notice Flash walking towards me. I look apprehensivley at him, "Are you alright...it seemed as if you were in real trouble down there...and Bruce? Where is he?And what happened to the rest?"

[Savage]

"I'm fine. I have absolutely no clue where Bruce is though."
*That's when the comm goes off. Speak of the devil.*

"Everyone, I know where their HQ is.

"They're at the Tower of Fate."

*That doesn't make any sense. How did they even manage to get into Fate's tower? It's impossible.*

"Are you sure?" I responded.

[Nightwing.]

OOC: I'm in the watchtower now?:confused: When did J'onn and I get transported? Oh well. I can deal.



you didnt get teleported only j'onn did but there you go

[twylight]

Good to see someone took Trop's post into account. :D :up:
OOC: It was just too cool of an idea not to play with it. :)

Flash and J'onn are gone, transported back to the Watchtower. Slade and Mordu escaped, but not before killing ANOTHER one of us, Raven. Slade did mention something before he left, an "ivory tower."

Ivory tower...

"Everyone," I call out into the comm., "I know where their HQ is.

"They're at the Tower of Fate."

"Bruce, we need to regroup before we do anything else." She said into her comm. She could hear the tension in his voice. If it had been just him he'd have gone there right away.
She glanced over at the other rooftops. Wonder Woman was on the roof Ollie had been on. Something must have happened. Her throat tightened.
Surveying the rooftop she was on she saw pools of blood, fire marks and explosion remains. Purposefully she averted her eyes from where Ravens remains were.
The creeping shadows, from who knows where, dispersed off the rooftop.

Turning to Supergirl she said "Raven was a Teen Titan, I suppose you'd like to take care of her remains?"

[Tropico]

The shadows receded. Shade just wanted to add to the bedlam, which he managed to do. He felt exhausted from controlling so many specific shadows instead of kust letting the creatures roam free. He went back to the tower and finished pouring himself a drink and sank into a chair. He could hear Mordru's laughter echoeing in the halls and thought that the sound didn't comfort him. Not one bit.

OOC: Thanks for noticing my post, Twy.:D:up:

I hear Bruce's voice in my ear. So he was in a good enough condition to speak at least...this was not assuring in any way though. I look up at Flash, "Do what you have to do with what Batman said..." I massage my temples in agony at not knowing where the JLers were!

I wheel back to the console and try locating those who were involved in the Battle down there, "JLers who can hear me, please respond as soon as possible so that I know if you need assistance and can respond." Heaving out a sigh, I rest my chin on my fist, waiting for their response, hoping againts hope that all hasn't come to the worst.

[DarkKnightJRK]

I hear Wally from the comm., "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," I replied, "Slade mentioned something about an 'ivory tower.' Not to mention the fact that Mordu was WEARING FATE'S ARMOR."

"Bruce, we need to regroup before we do anything else." Dinah's voice rings from the comm.

"Right. Transport us up to the Watchtower. Wally, you can probably help too, I noticed your little teleporting trick." I hear Barbara's voice from the comm. "I'll try to track them from the Batmobile here."

[Supergirl]

I'll take her to the Watchtower until we can get things sorted out and maybe put an end to this macabre dance. These monsters are going to pay!" Tears boiled on her cheeks as her irises turned red, and smoke started rising from the tar on the roof where her heat vision fell.

J'onn opens his eyes to an empty infirmary. His skin is blistered and sore. He, however is able to rise to his feet thanks to his alien DNA. He makes his way to the main control room. He is in his original alien form. "Anything I can help with?"

[Savage]

*Of course. I thought he was just taunting us...But still, just HOW do you get into Fate's tower uninvited?..It's still hard for me to believe but I go along with it. This guy is even more powerful than I thought...We are in serious trouble here.*

"...alright...I'll see what I can do." I respond now thinking to myself with my arms crossed.
"...hmm..."

OOC: Anyone wanna visit J'onn in infirmary?im feeling abit burnt and low so come chat to me.

OOC: Hold your martian horses there. Dinah and Mid-Nite are still on the roof, rigel should respond soon so don't rush things, I mean seriously..J'onn just GOT to the tower and we're all still reeling from the fight, *Or should be given the time*. Also WW and Ollie the designated NPC's are still in Gotham.

I hear Wally from the comm., "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," I replied, "Slade mentioned something about an 'ivory tower.' Not to mention the fact that Mordu was WEARING FATE'S ARMOR."

Stop bunnying..:( That ruins all the character interaction. :( I know all you guys are getting jocks itch from waiting for the action but the interaction of chracters is just as much fun. I mean seriously..look at how the 'Dark Alliance' has been playing.

[Batman]

Nightwings eyes opened.

He could barely move,but did anyway,as He sat up to see that he was in Batmans quarters.

Supergirl must've dropped him there......


Getting up,and finding difficulty doing so,He walked out,and looked around.

He was in the Watchtower......and considering the amount of people......this was one of the Watchtowers.....busier.....days.

"Something must be happening..."He said to himself,walking around.


At that moment,the medics rushed past him,carrying someone.

He looked back,to see it was J'onn.....A burnt J'onn....

"What the hell...?"He said,as the medics J'onn away.

He continued walking........even though he wasnt in the best condition.

He was determined to find out just what,exactly,was happening......

[Savage]

EDIT: Screw it.:(

J'onn opens his eyes to an empty infirmary. His skin is blistered and sore. He, however is able to rise to his feet thanks to his alien DNA. He makes his way to the main control room. He is in his original alien form. "Anything I can help with?"

Tears boiled on her cheeks as her irises turned red, and smoke started rising from the tar on the roof where her heat vision fell.

Dinah stepped back as smoke started to wrap around her.
She'd never really known how to interact with Superman's family, and had never been in the same circle as Supergirl.
But standing on the roof with her, Dinah realized Kara was really no different than any other teenager, save one that was superpowered and for all intensive purposes an alien.
She was not that different from Mia, or even Roy when he was that age.

Placing her hand on Kara's shoulder she said softly.
"We've all lost someone Kara and we all feel the same way. We can't take away what's been done already, but we can prevent more."

[Twitch]

Robin had made it out of the desert and collasped. A helicopter sped towards the ground and two ninjas picked the body up and the copter took off

*********

My eyes opened to find darkness. Am I blind? I got my answer, a hard kick to the stomach.

"Get up you son of a *****!" said a harsh voice right in front of me.

I got a knee up but my skull was nearly cracked with a hard punch to the head. I felt dazed and confused. Then I felt a small breeze and shoved my hands up and blocked the leg and flipped it. I regained my vertical base and tracked his ragged breathing, to my right. I sent a blade kick to the supposed jaw or whatever I made contact with.

"Well done Drake."

I gained sight again when Ducard removed my blindfold. A medic was looking over my attacker.

"Status" Ducard turning his head to the medic.

"Dead sir"

"Well done Drake, well done."

He left the room leaving me shocked.

OCC: Sped up training and open for contact from others.

Dinah's words hit Kara deep. Tears rolled down her cheeks again, as she hugged the older hero.

"I've lost so much today, I was having the best day of my life and it crashed down, I should have been able to stop them. If not from killing Bart, then from killing Rachael, but I was being to reactive and not proactive, waiting for my cousin's permission. It hurts so much, how do you deal with it? Does it get easier?" Mia has said so much in praise of Dinah, I now understand why. Mia, oh god both her and Dinah lost people close to them as well, how is Dinah coping with Roy? Damn me for being so selfish.

OOC: Basically, Slade left with Mordu and Shade. We figured out that they're in Fate's tower. They killed Raven and potentially killed Cyborg. They burned J'onn with magic fire, and he got transported into the Watchtower along with Flash who helped get the fire out. Nightwing's in the tower trying to figure out what's going on. Supergirl's with Dinah, Mid-Nite's somewhere, and I'm trying to find everyone.

OOC: JRK has been playing Batman as alone. In a previous post he expressed concern that Dr. Mid-Nite was blind and alone *still on the roof somewhere*

[rigel7soldiers]

"Hmm. What the Hell just happened? Ah, luckily, I have my eyeglasses with me."

Once I could see again, I was immediately concerned with Batman, and began to follow his trail. Why leave? He shouldn't be able to walk...

Dinah's words hit Kara deep. Tears rolled down her cheeks again, as she hugged the older hero.

Mia has said so much in praise of Dinah, I now understand why. Mia, oh god both her and Dinah lost people close to them as well, how is Dinah coping with Roy? Damn me for being so selfish.

A tear slid down Dinah's face. Possibly the single most powerful being on the earth was asking her if it got easier.
"Being proactive can lead to other things, such as presuming too much. It's a fine balance and by no means is Raven's and Bart's death your fault."
She paused before answering the other questions.
"Everyone has their own way for dealing with it. Look at Batman, he dresses up like a bat. Other's just move on, living life as their friend would have wanted. When Ollie died, I tried my best to move on.
But it never get's easier and it shouldn't, because the moment it does, it means that a humans life has been cheapened and you become no better than the person who killed them"

IC:

I've been driving alone, looking for the rest of the members. I'm not sure who else is here, things are still extremely hectic.

I'm trying to keep a cool head, but I'm worried. Who am I kidding? I'm scared half-s**tless.

Who knows who else has been taken as casulities? They already took out so many of us. And judging from how Mordu just took out Raven like that, it's safe to say some disturbed individual with a now screwed-up knee wouldn't hold a fight for two seconds.

So many of us are missing. Dinah's lost somewhere, Mid-Nite's blind somewhere. Tim's still with Ducard, who knows if he hasn't been taken by them already? Dick...he's been gone for so long...

I'm scared and clueless and I HATE IT.

I find one of the dots on the Batmobile's radar is just above me. I find Dinah standing with Kara, holding Raven's body.

"Dinah! Kara!" I yell out, getting their attention. I press on my comm., "Watchtower, I've found Kara and Dinah, we'll need transport."

[Supergirl]

"But I was there! I could have stopped them! I SHOULD have stopped them... I will stop them..." Kara started sobbing again, but quickly snapped herself out of it. "Mia is right to look up to you, she said you can make the hardest situations easier, and she's right. But now we should probably get back to the Watch Tower, I'd give you a lift but you wouldn't survive in space unprotected. Is there a javelin that we could use anywhere near here?"

Dinah smiled at the praise quickly adding "We'll all Stop them."
She'd never seen a burning look like that in Clark's eyes, and she was a little worried to see it in Kara's.
First things first however.

"Flash said the Javelin was parked at a park. We can take that, unless they changed the controls too much in the new version."

"Dinah! Kara!"

Turning Dinah saw Bruce on the ground.
"Bruce! Have you seen Pieter?

"Watchtower, I've found Kara and Dinah, we'll need transport."
Hearing Bruces call to the Watchtower over her comm, and assuming he meant the teleporter she said.
"Cancel that Watchtower, we have the Javelin still in Gotham."

[Supergirl]

OOC: I head off to work again, if anyone needs her feel free to bunny Kara. :)

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Bruce! Have you seen Pieter?

"No, I haven't."

"Cancel that Watchtower, we have the Javelin still in Gotham."

"Alright, if you would jump down with me and direct me to the Javelin. We will probably be able to find Mid-Nite better with that."

[Phantasm]

OOC:I thought I transported them long ago...ahh.. well, I'll just edit then.

[twylight]

Kara flew Dinah down first and then flew back for Raven's corpse.

Turning to Batman Dinah looked at him worried.
"Are you okay?"

Kara returned and floated a distance off the ground holding Ravens remains.
Dinah could still see the pain in her eyes.

Making their way they soon found themselves at the park, and found the javelin.
Kara placed Ravens body on one if the medical beds in the back while Dinah slipped into the co-pilots seat.

OOC: I left it vague for you to move Bats as you would like. Also feel free to bunny Dinah..but nothing too serious, or you'll hear from me. ;)

[twylight]

OOC:I thought I transported them long ago...ahh.. well, I'll just edit then.

[Spike_x1]

A blond, handsome man in sunglasses and dressed in an expensive looking suit watched as the heroes and villains fought and dispersed from the now demolished Gotham City Clocktower. He was a couple blocks away, leaning against a street light pole, smoking a cigarette.

The man blew smoke and put the cigarette out in the palm of his hand. He had completed his surveillance and observed the major players in action, and surprisingly noted that the heroes had been virtually crippled by their opponents, despite outnumbering them greatly.

'Heh. This is gonna be interesting.'

The Parasite tossed his cigarette butt into a garbage can and casually strolled into a nearby dark alley, where he transformed into his purple form and flew back to Metropolis, using the flight he had gained from Black Adam.

"No, I haven't."

"Cancel that Watchtower, we have the Javelin still in Gotham."

"Alright, if you would jump down with me and direct me to the Javelin. We will probably be able to find Mid-Nite better with that."

I was confused. They just left me there, blind and more or less helpless against any attack? It feels weird questioning other people's motives, I'm the theif and robber... Still though. Very rude of them. I saw it fly past me, then come back a few seconds later. "What the Hell was that? You deserted me!"

[DarkKnightJRK]

[batnkevlar]

J'onn opens his eyes to an empty infirmary. His skin is blistered and sore. He, however is able to rise to his feet thanks to his alien DNA. He makes his way to the main control room. He is in his original alien form. "Anything I can help with?"

*Hal walks into the control center, exhausted.*

"You could try getting me a glass of water. I'm parched."

*Hal pulls up a seat and sits down, with his face burried in his hands*

"An innocent died today because of me, J'onn. All because I couldn't control my anger and my hatred."

*Hal chuckles a nervous laugh*

"Where's Liam Neeson when you need him?"

[DarkKnightJRK]

I watched as the two fly down towards me. Kara leaves for a moment to go back to the roof. Dinah slips inside the Batmobile and looks at the damn knee.

"Are you okay?" She looks worried. I think I'm oddly touched by that. I'm not sure why...I think.

"I've went through worse," I reply, "...but...thanks...for your concern."

Kara flew by again, holding Raven's body in her arms. I've heard Clark say before that flying helped him to think and be alone. Like cousin, like...cousin, I guess.

I follow Kara's flight pattern to the park with the Javilen.

That means I have to step out of the Batmobile and walk to it. With a shattered kneecap.

Oh, hell.

Dinah must have noticed, for she was about to walk over and help me. I look at her she understands. I need to do this myself. It still doesn't stop her from following just behind me though. I'll give her that much.

Minutes later, we're in the Javilen and I'm in the piolets seat, thanking every God I can think of that this thing doesn't require much footwork.

We fly off and circle around Gotham, looking for Mid-Nite. We find him a few minutes later we find him strangely enough looking at us. We fly low so that he could pick him up. Dinah slips from her co-piolet seat and reaches out to Mid-Nite.

Then, we're off to the Watchtower, with all our passangers in place.

"What the Hell was that? You deserted me!" Mid-Nite screamed out.

"No, we were searching for you." I reply. "There's is a subtle difference, you might be shocked to believe."

[Johnny Blaze]

The shadows receded. Shade just wanted to add to the bedlam, which he managed to do. He felt exhausted from controlling so many specific shadows instead of kust letting the creatures roam free. He went back to the tower and finished pouring himself a drink and sank into a chair. He could hear Mordru's laughter echoeing in the halls and thought that the sound didn't comfort him. Not one bit.
Back at the Tower of Fate, Mordru finds Shade sitting down and having a drink.
“So, Shade…I trust you were successful in your personal mission?”

OOC: Right. You could have could me so that instant.I would have edited right then. ;)

J'onn had apparently gone back to rest so that left me to sit alone staring at the gigantic screen in front of me.From what I can see, Bruce, Dinah and Kara are heading finally towards the Tower. Which gives me quite a bit of time to go take a quick coffee break.

I wheel myself out of the room and towards the kitchen. The Clock Tower has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times now that I should be used to it. But I can't help but miss the way it was cozy...and the almost instantly available supply of coffee that was just so perfect for times like these...Watch Tower was just too...big...and everything was generalized to fit every superhero on Earth...And pretty intimidating with its sheer size and equipment...and these...'able bodied' heroes walking past didn't help the feeling of inadequacy either-

I start at whom I think I catch a glimpse of up ahead...No...it can'tbe...Shaking my head I continue forward...It can't be and besides...Dick does not have a beard...Coffee...I need coffee to clear up my thoughts...

But its the unmistakable blue and black of his suit that has my eyes widened. The costume was in tatters and his black hair more unkempt than ever...He was having difficulty walking...

Heart racing, almost at the impossibilty of the sight before me I wheel forward, as fast as I can until I can see him close enough...see the dark circles beneath his weary blue eyes, see the beard that has claimed the better part of his face...see the the way in which he looks so completely worn and exhausted...

My hands grasp the cool metal of the wheels of my chair as I come to an abrupt stop in front of him. I take his gloved hands in mine as my eyes notice the terrible shape he's in. What's happened to him?Why hasn't anyone here helped him yet? WHERE was he?

I look up at his weary face trying to find my voice...

OOC: Figured it was about time SOMEONE took notice of poor Nightwing's presence in the tower.

[Tropico]

Back at the Tower of Fate, Mordru finds Shade sitting down and having a drink.
“So, Shade…I trust you were successful in your personal mission?”

Shade looked up from his goblet at Mordru. "Oh, yes! It was quite succesful. It wasn't totally personal since I asked Teth Adam for some back-up. We had an impromptu visit from Hal Jordan." Shade sighed as he contained making any more scathing remarks regarding the GL. "I have a case that was Hourman's posession. I also have this curious little trinket..."- he said holding up the small hourglass-"...I thought it was destroyed when I attacked young Tyler; the elder is dead, by the way. It was curious...I fired a shadow bolt and it hit the hourglass instead of young Mr. Tyler, there seemed to be a hiccup...a...pause, and then the bolt was spread open while the hourglass disappeared. A shadow imp gave this to me after I came back here and it gave me the case."

Shade held up the object to Mordru in case he wanted to examine it himself.

[Harlekin]

When Slade re-appeared in the Tower, his first order of business was sleep. As such, he returned to the quarters of his daughter, and fell down into the bed beside her, immediately falling asleep as he did so. His wounds slowly started their healing process, and it would be a matter of time, before the Terminator would be back in shape.

[Supergirl]

I watched as the two fly down towards me. Kara leaves for a moment to go back to the roof. Dinah slips inside the Batmobile and looks at the damn knee.

Kara flew by again, holding Raven's body in her arms. I've heard Clark say before that flying helped him to think and be alone. Like cousin, like...cousin, I guess.

Kara doesn’t stop to talk to Bruce, she just wants to move, rage, fear and grief all reaching boiling points within her mind.

Kara landed in front of the Javelin with the Batmobile pulling up to the edge of the park at about the same time.

I follow Kara's flight pattern to the park with the Javelin.

That means I have to step out of the Batmobile and walk to it. With a shattered kneecap.

Oh, hell.

Dinah must have noticed, for she was about to walk over and help me. I look at her she understands. I need to do this myself. It still doesn't stop her from following just behind me though. I'll give her that much.

Minutes later, we're in the Javelin and I'm in the pilots seat, thanking every God I can think of that this thing doesn't require much footwork.

We fly off and circle around Gotham, looking for Mid-Nite. We find him a few minutes later we find him strangely enough looking at us. We fly low so that he could pick him up. Dinah slips from her co-pilot seat and reaches out to Mid-Nite.

Batman appeared to be waiting for Kara to sit in the Javelin, she just shook her head. “I have my own ride and I need to clear my thoughts. I’ll meet you up there.”

A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder
The chill up my spine, can't get any colder
And you wonder why I can't smile
A knot in my gut, an ape on my back
In the heat of the moment
I'm knocked off the track
You drop the ball, I pick up the slack

Kara flew out of the atmosphere and drifted slowly through space, slowly heading towards the moon.

"While if a speedster dies in action, usually it's from pushing their body too fast and they're absorbed into the Speed Force.”

Bart’s words earlier that night, still haunted her. Is he helping Wally now?

"Yeah, well I better be getting back to Keystone City. Jay will be getting worried..."

"You can come in if you want, I want you to see my new room. Plus it takes you like two minutes to get home"

My fault. No matter what Dinah said, if not for me he would have gone safely back to Keystone. It was my fault Bart died. His death is my burden, my responsibility.

Responsible thinkers
Throw caution to the wind
But I find myself
Speaking from within
I can't live my life
Walking on eggshells
To stay on your good side
Using your words
Controlling my life
Can't you see it's my words
That gives you your life
So I hurt your feelings
Well I'm really sorry

I don’t care what Clark says, monsters like Slade and Adam don’t deserve to breathe the same air as rats and snakes, let alone humans. When a beast gets too dangerous to cage you put it down, why not the same for villains who take pleasure from robbing innocent people of their lives? The thought of Bart's empty uniform crumpling on the ground rushed back to her, along with the sight of another good friend hitting a roof top nothing more than blackened flesh and charred bone.

Maybe Diana is rubbing off too much on me, but her logic makes more sense than the revolving door of Arkham or ‘President’ Luthor.

Kara saw the Javelin finally leave the planet, and she flew at its side escorting it to the Watchtower. Either they found Mid-Nite or there is more blood for the monsters to answer for.

[Nightwing.]

*Hal walks into the control center, exhausted.*

"You could try getting me a glass of water. I'm parched."

*Hal pulls up a seat and sits down, with his face burried in his hands*

"An innocent died today because of me, J'onn. All because I couldn't control my anger and my hatred."

*Hal chuckles a nervous laugh*

"Where's Liam Neeson when you need him?"

"Im afraid i can't reverse the past Hal, however if you wish i could erase the memory from your mind. I dont approve of doing this as if the family has to live with it then i feel you should too. I wish there was more i could do but as you can see im not exactly 100% myself" His skin was still steaming slightly as he spoke. "J'onn you sure you should be up? You dont look too good"
"Im sure ill be fine." With that J'onn blacked out and fell to the floor again. His body started to tear and transform. He grew in size twice over and the burnt skin on him peeled off. The skin beneath was fresh but still very slimy. Hal quickly called for help...

OOC: Right. You could have could me so that instant.I would have edited right then. ;)

J'onn had apparently gone back to rest so that left me to sit alone staring at the gigantic screen in front of me.From what I can see, Bruce, Dinah and Kara are heading finally towards the Tower. Which gives me quite a bit of time to go take a quick coffee break.

I wheel myself out of the room and towards the kitchen. The Clock Tower has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times now that I should be used to it. But I can't help but miss the way it was cozy...and the almost instantly available supply of coffee that was just so perfect for times like these...Watch Tower was just too...big...and everything was generalized to fit every superhero on Earth...And pretty intimidating with its sheer size and equipment...and these...'able bodied' heroes walking past didn't help the feeling of inadequacy either-

I start at whom I think I catch a glimpse of up ahead...No...it can'tbe...Shaking my head I continue forward...It can't be and besides...Dick does not have a beard...Coffee...I need coffee to clear up my thoughts...

But its the unmistakable blue and black of his suit that has my eyes widened. The costume was in tatters and his black hair more unkempt than ever...He was having difficulty walking...

Heart racing, almost at the impossibilty of the sight before me I wheel forward, as fast as I can until I can see him close enough...see the dark circles beneath his weary blue eyes, see the beard that has claimed the better part of his face...see the the way in which he looks so completely worn and exhausted...

My hands grasp the cool metal of the wheels of my chair as I come to an abrupt stop in front of him. I take his gloved hands in mine as my eyes notice the terrible shape he's in. What's happened to him?Why hasn't anyone here helped him yet? WHERE was he?

I look up at his weary face trying to find my voice...

OOC: Figured it was about time SOMEONE took notice of poor Nightwing's presence in the tower.

OOC:About damn time.:mad: :p :D

IC:

Dick looked around.

He had no idea what was going on,He didnt know what part of the tower he was in......He didnt even know more than half of the people around him.

And then,He sees her......

Barbara.

She was coming towards him.....

My god.....Its been so long.....Almost like an eternity.He thinks to himself,contemplating what to do.

He cant speak....

You idiot,say something!He tells himself.

"..Barb?"

OOC: If someone needs Superman, feel free to bunny him. I might not be around much the rest of this week.

I tug at his hands so that he crouches down beside me. Looking at me with a certain sense of uncertainity which I can't quite place...I look at him for the first time in so many weeks, touching his worn face with my fingers...realizing that he is here...

My arms wrap around him as I bury my face in his neck, trying to make sense of all that has happened all the while savouring his familiar scent, "Dick... WHERE have you been?!" My lips kiss the stubbled skin of his neck and I look up at him, brushing a strand of his black hair out of his eyes...noticing his worn down state which is so hard to ignore, "What-what is this?!What have you done to yourself?"

[Johnny Blaze]

Shade looked up from his goblet at Mordru. "Oh, yes! It was quite succesful. It wasn't totally personal since I asked Teth Adam for some back-up. We had an impromptu visit from Hal Jordan." Shade sighed as he contained making any more scathing remarks regarding the GL. "I have a case that was Hourman's posession. I also have this curious little trinket..."- he said holding up the small hourglass-"...I thought it was destroyed when I attacked young Tyler; the elder is dead, by the way. It was curious...I fired a shadow bolt and it hit the hourglass instead of young Mr. Tyler, there seemed to be a hiccup...a...pause, and then the bolt was spread open while the hourglass disappeared. A shadow imp gave this to me after I came back here and it gave me the case."

Shade held up the object to Mordru in case he wanted to examine it himself.
Mordru inspects the trinket, “Hmm…very interesting. It could prove useful if its secrets can be unlocked. Since it is your prize, I shall leave that undertaking to you. Besides, I have work I need to get back to.”
Mordru begins to walk off to a door that has suddenly appeared on the far wall. As he opens the door, Mordru turns back around to face the Shade, “Oh yes, before I forget, we have a new ally in our little crusade…the Scarecrow. After the self-styled Master of Fear finished his work, I told him that he should go and introduce himself to you all. Though, it seems that he is taking a tour of his new base of operations at the moment. If you are not too the worse for wear, you should find him and introduce yourself...after all, if we are to be working together, as a team, we would do well to know one another.”
With that said, Mordru walks into his chamber, the door slamming shut behind him…and promptly disappearing…

Dick didnt know what to say.

With all that has happened.........Even he was a little confused by it.

Barbara hugged him.....and kissed him.

He hadnt felt that in a while........and up until now,He never realised how much he missed it.How much he missed her....

"Wow....I really have been gone for awhile."He said,looking at Barbara.

"Its....a little hard to explain."

Suddenly,He remembered.

"Ras.....Ra's Al Ghul.Hes....alive.He...well....not He....but....I....."

Dick sighed.He really wasnt doing this very well....

He then remembered J'onn.

"Wheres Bruce?What the hell is going on here?"He asked.

Ahhh....Romantic stuff. ^_^

I watched as the two fly down towards me. Kara leaves for a moment to go back to the roof. Dinah slips inside the Batmobile and looks at the damn knee.

"Are you okay?" She looks worried. I think I'm oddly touched by that. I'm not sure why...I think.

"I've went through worse," I reply, "...but...thanks...for your concern."

Kara flew by again, holding Raven's body in her arms. I've heard Clark say before that flying helped him to think and be alone. Like cousin, like...cousin, I guess.

I follow Kara's flight pattern to the park with the Javilen.

That means I have to step out of the Batmobile and walk to it. With a shattered kneecap.

Oh, hell.

Dinah must have noticed, for she was about to walk over and help me. I look at her she understands. I need to do this myself. It still doesn't stop her from following just behind me though. I'll give her that much.

Minutes later, we're in the Javilen and I'm in the piolets seat, thanking every God I can think of that this thing doesn't require much footwork.

We fly off and circle around Gotham, looking for Mid-Nite. We find him a few minutes later we find him strangely enough looking at us. We fly low so that he could pick him up. Dinah slips from her co-piolet seat and reaches out to Mid-Nite.

Then, we're off to the Watchtower, with all our passangers in place.

"What the Hell was that? You deserted me!" Mid-Nite screamed out.

"No, we were searching for you." I reply. "There's is a subtle difference, you might be shocked to believe."

After helping Pieter to a seat Dinah slipped back into the Co-Pilots chair and glanced out the window.
Kara flew next to the Javelin, her mouth set firmly and the burning look still in her eyes.
"I really hope she follows in Clarks footsteps and not Diana's, for her sake."
Though she hated to admit, she saw more of Diana's look reflected in Kara's eyes than Clark. She wondered if Clark had any idea about how hard Kara was taking it.
Dinah shook her head, it was the price they all paid having side-kicks and teenage hero's fighting along side them.

Leaning forward she called the Watchtower.
"Watchtower this is Black Canary, Dr. Mid-Nite, Batman and Supergirl are en route."

Focusing back on flying she marvelled at the new Javalin. Leaning back she smiled, she loved flying.

"What the Hell was that? You deserted me!" Mid-Nite screamed out.

"No, we were searching for you." Batman reply. "There's is a subtle difference, you might be shocked to believe."

She smiled feeling comforted by having two of her old friends with her. Almost like the old day's, almost...

IC:Oracle

"Bruce is fine." At least...I'm hoping he is considering what happened recently. "He's on his way here.Things are bad Dick. Slade and Mordru attacked the JL in Gotham...We were having difficulty contacting them.Last thing I know is that Bruce,Dinah and Kara are on there way up here..." I trail off realizing that this was probably too much for him in his state...

What was he talking about Ra's Al Ghul? He wasn't making much sense but then looking at him, I realize that it was expected... My eyes take in his form once again and I run my hands down his shoulders noticing how thin he feels...blood is encrusted on the areas his costume is ripped...There was clearly a fight involved of some sort...

He looks so frail...and I'm surprised he hasn't recieved medical attention yet. I take his hands resting on my lap and try to peel off the heavy torn gauntlets of his which I assume at this point are doing more harm than good.He takes in a sharp breath as the material comes off, revealing bruised fingers. "You need to get all cleaned up." I place the gauntlets on my lap and hold his face in my hands,kissing his lips...Its been so long...

Focus...I need to focus...

I press my forhead against his and look into his eyes, "Lets get you to the medical bay before Bruce and the others arrive.Things don't look good...I'm not sure what is it they're planning to do after..."

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite floated down through the skylight of the Metropolis warehouse headquarters. Just as Rudy’s feet touched the floor, Deadshot walked into the complex, fully dressed in his gleaming red and silver costume.

“Here’s your next mission, Jones.” Lawton tossed a large file folder into the Parasite’s hands.

Curious, Rudy skimmed the file at superspeed, recognizing the sheets of information and photos stamped as “CLASSIFIED” that were in his hands. “This is LexCorp. Some of their aerospace labs.”

“Hmm. I guess I forgot that you absorbed Luthor’s thoughts when he left your society a few months ago. No wonder you recognized those.”

Rudy closed the folder and shoved it back into Deadshot’s hands. “Whadaya want with Lex’s labs?”

The servomotors in Deadshot’s lens began to quietly focus on the Parasite. Normally the motors would be virtually inaudible, but in the dead silence of the large warehouse, the motors were a KISS concert. The two agents stared at each other for over a minute, both contemplating whether or not the Parasite’s question was worthy of an answer at this juncture.

Finally, Lawton spoke. “You may or may not be aware of this, because Luthor’s mindwipe prior to you draining him probably erased any knowledge of this, but your teammates, Lex Luthor and Sinestro, from your old Society, well, they came across something big in outer space. Something they didn’t share with you.” Deadshot pulled his mask back and lit a cigarette. “After Deathstroke switched sides and joined with the League for a while, well, to put it mildly, Lex and Sinestro didn’t think they could trust anyone else in your Society, so they kept their little discovery to themselves.”

“And what exactly were they hiding from me, Floyd?” The Parasite raised what would be an eyebrow if he had eyebrows.

Suddenly, the glow at the end of Lawton’s cigarette was extinguished in a puff. A small cloud of smoke floated from the now doused tobacco. Deadshot glared at Parasite as he realized that Rudy had drained the heat of the cigarette simply by being near it. “What were they hiding from you? Well, you’re about to go on a mission that’ll put you directly within reach of that information. I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise for you.” Lawton relit the cigarette and blew a smoke ring into the Parasite’s face.

They then sat down to the table in the center of the warehouse and began the mission briefing.

OOC: Longtime players will notice that I’m tying events that took place loooong ago in the RPG into my arc, and even more past actions will be explained as I go.

So...alot DID happen while he was gone.....

"Is there anything else thats happened?"Dick said,as they continued.

"Did I mention the clock tower getting blown up for one more time? That's all I know for now." I glance up at him. We reach the medical bay and I see J'onn and Hal in the far corner.

[batnkevlar]

"Im afraid i can't reverse the past Hal, however if you wish i could erase the memory from your mind. I dont approve of doing this as if the family has to live with it then i feel you should too. I wish there was more i could do but as you can see im not exactly 100% myself" His skin was still steaming slightly as he spoke. "J'onn you sure you should be up? You dont look too good"
"Im sure ill be fine." With that J'onn blacked out and fell to the floor again. His body started to tear and transform. He grew in size twice over and the burnt skin on him peeled off. The skin beneath was fresh but still very slimy. Hal quickly called for help...

"HELP!!!"

[Phantasm]

IC:Oracle

I hear Hal's panicked call for help and wheel forward just in time to see J'onn collapsed on the floor in a very...slimy state. I elicit a small gasp at the sight before me. Hal looks puzzled, not really knowing what to do. Nurses rush towards his fallen form and with, plastic gloved hands pull him onto a stretcher. "Will he be alright?" I ask the blond woman as she helps pick him up off the floor.

She gives me a brief glance, "We aren't sure yet."

I look on silently as they take him away. Turning around I face Dick who is now sitting on an empty bed.I move forward and help him remove those heavy boots of his which fall with resonating 'thumps' on the floor. I wheel aside as a nurse arrives at his side with medical supplies.

The Javelin lands on the Watchtower hanger and I limp out.

There's no use in denying it, my knee is preety much s**t at this point. I need to go to the Infimery where I'll probably have to go into surgery.

S**t. S**t. S**t. I notice I'm swearing a lot more often, but I blame it on the knee. At this point, I'd blame the ecomemy on the broken knee.

Luckily, I've learned to hide my pain, physical, emotional, even mental. That's probably not good for my mental health, but considering my present wear, I think that's preety much a lost cause.

I limp into the Infermery. I notice J'onn on the floor, with Hal looking helpless. Barbara's helping someone with his costume.

Yes, we really do look like we're ready to face the Dark Allience.

...Wait. I look at the man Barbara's helping. He is in dire need of a shave. And a haircut. And a bath. And his clothing is cut up to hell. But, I could reconize the black and blue costume and the face underneith the hair.

"Dick?"

How could I have not reconized him at the beginning?

Like everything else, I'm blaming it on the knee.

[Batman]

Dick looked over at Bruce as He yelped from the pain of removing his mask.

He had a black eye,so it hurt like hell.

Not being in the mood to really say much,He nodded,acknowledging that YES,He was Dick Grayson.

He looked over at Batmans knee,which was seriously bleeding.Dick had witnessed alot of Bruces injuries over the years.....but he had never seen as much damage.....to his knee,anyway.

He'd probably need surgery.

"Hey Bruce."He finally said,resting.

"How did you ever get on without me? Don't you have any other Doctors on staff? Aughh... We don't have time for this, they couls strike at any moment. Once we all get situated, I'm riding a mirror into Fate's Tower. Anyone else feel like coming?"

OOC: Well, the only thing I can see you porting through to get into the Tower is the way you escaped. Even still, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but it wouldn't be the brightest thing to do. Attack us inside the Tower that is. Mordru is basically the god of that place now. It'd be like traveling to Hell to attack Mephisto. He can manipulate the Tower any way he wants, trap you in a myriad of dimensions from which there is no return, etc.

But, if you really want to come, you may. I'm not a fan of killing PCs, but I can start to become one. :D

I reconize him not wishing to speak much. I give him the same nod in return. I'll wait until we're both situated before I ask him what happened to him. From the looks of things, it'll be a hell of a tale.

One of the nurses escorts me to the bed beside Dick. I rip off the part of the costume concealing the wound before the nurse could. Goddamn flimsy armor. It should have blocked the piece of pellet from Slade's shotgun. It's official, I'm making some new armor. That's just redicolous. The nurse looks over the wound.

"The bullet's already out. Did you do that?"

"With one of these," I reply, taking out one of my Batarangs. She looks at me like a crazy person, but I'm used to those looks. Doesn't really bother me anymore. She just shakes her head and continues. I take off the cape, boots, and belt and lay them on a table next to me, muttering more about my plans to make my new armor. "Reinforced plates, that should be better. Might lessen mobility a bit, but it's better than this..."

At about this time, Mid-Nite appears.

"How did you ever get on without me? Don't you have any other Doctors on staff? Aughh... We don't have time for this, they could strike at any moment. Once we all get situated, I'm riding a mirror into Fate's Tower. Anyone else feel like coming?"

"I think I'm going to have to stick with computer work for a while, Pieter," I reply, probably with more sarcasm than I intended...alright, it was probably even LESS than I intended. The nurse continues looking over the knee.

"It's definately broken...oh, who the hell am I kidding, it's practically shattered," she replies, "we won't know for certain until we get an X-Ray, but, chances are, we'll have to put an artifical kneecap on. Considering your reputation, I know this staff's life will be a living hell until it's healed, so I'm going to have the surgery done ASAP."

Oh, joy...

“There, all finished”, said the Dark Lord as he cast the final spell in his chamber. On top of a enormous alter sat the containers of fear gas, but, unlike how they looked before Mordru took them here, they were now covered in runes that pulsed with an eerie green glow.
“I must say, Hector, this is one of my greatest creations. Using a sequence of ancient spells, I’ve managed to enhance this gas' potency a great deal.”
Mordru rose to his feet and walked from his throne, “Yes, Hector, those were the spells I enchanted it with. Now, all the fears and nightmares those infected by the gas see will be made into reality. It will be thing of beauty to behold.”
Leaving the gas in his chamber, Mordru walked out into the main room of the Tower seeing Shade, “Shade, I am about to pay our newest member a visit in his laboratory. Would you care to join me?”

[Phantasm]

OOC:Poor Batman...Or shall I say Batmen?!

Shade put down his now empty goblet. "I was about to do just that."- he said while picking up his cane. He walked with Mordru as they made their way to look for Scarecrow. "It appears that Teth Adam is fuming somewhere, I haven't seen him since our encounter with Hal. I hope he didn't catch something from when Hal spit his face."- the Shade chuckled as they walked.

[Spike_x1]

"HELP!!!"OOC: Subtle and straight to the point. :D :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

Black Adam skulked about the Tower of Fate's main chambers, sincerely hoping that Jordan had managed to save those civilians. He didn't particularly care about them--indeed, they were merely casualties of a war the heroes had started in Khandaq, as surely as the dozens of Khandaqis who must have perished in his homeland's rioting and anarchy--but he had spent too long a time as a champion of the weak to feel cavalier about sacrificing them so willingly. And yet, in the heat of that moment... he did sacrifice them, in spirit, at least, if Hal had indeed managed to save them. And he had reveled in it. It was undeniable to all but the most deluded of fools.

Black Adam overheard Mordru and the Shade talking about their plans for the Scarecrow's "enhanced" fear gas. His disgust was almost palpable. Blast it all, Teth-Adam thought as he retired to a side chamber to get away from his allies. I am still a man of honor. Aren't I? Or have I, in allying myself with these wretched blackguards, lowered myself to their level? Is this my punishment, then, for turning my back on the ideals I once championed for so long?

He drove his fist into the wall with a crash. "DAMN these questions of honor! Damn these SNAKES I call allies!" He looked at his hands as if they belonged to a stranger. But they were his, sure enough as the thoughts that tormented him. There was, however, a side of himself whose thoughts would be untroubled by his recent actions. A side without the moral compass that ate away at him. A side called Theo Adam. But he knew that simply using his descendant to escape his ambivalence was a cowardly way out. He knew that down to his bones. He knew... and after all that he had done, he could truthfully say that at this point, he didn't care.

And so, as if possessed by his tormented subconscious, Black Adam shouted to the empty room: "And damn MYSELF! SHAZAM!" The air picked up its familiar charge as the lightning raced towards him, and Black Adam closed his eyes with a smile, thankful the confusion and anger would finally be over. Let his sadistic descendent revel in his misdeeds.

The bolt smashed home and Black Adam felt his body changing. Theo Adam gazed at his surroundings through confused eyes. "Wh--what the hell's going on? Where am I? How'd I get here?" Theo walked up to one of the stone walls and touched it to see if it was real. "This must be that Egyptian bastard's doing. Well, he was an idiot to transform back to me. I'll see to it that that pompous, deluded fool never sees the light of day agaieeeEEYARGH!!" Theo clutched his head in pain and he felt his mind tear away from his body. When next Theo Adam opened his eyes, it was not his own mind behind them, but rather that of the ancient Teth-Adam.

"What's this? My mind in my descendent's body?" He sifted through what remained of Theo Adam's memories for some clue to his current condition.

"Of course. The fool made a deal with Johnny Sorrow to cure himself of a brain tumor. He never realized that that tumor was all that kept my mind from resuming control of the body the Wizard empowered so long ago. Apparently the effects were set to spread into this body as well, but I had spent so little time in it for fear of Theo running amok that the change was never completed until now."

Black Adam sat down on the floor, dejected. "Truly, this is punishment. Punishment for my sins, and now punishment for my cowardice. There is no escape." He pondered his options, but in the end they all led to the same conclusion. "There is nothing left but to accept my fate... So be it. Gone is Teth-Adam, champion of the people. All that remains is Black Adam, and I will be an instrument of revenge." He stayed in his weaker form regardless. At least the weight of power didn't weigh on him on top of everything else when he was like this...

S**t. S**t. S**t. I notice I'm swearing a lot more often, but I blame it on the knee. At this point, I'd blame the ecomemy on the broken knee.

Luckily, I've learned to hide my pain, physical, emotional, even mental. That's probably not good for my mental health, but considering my present wear, I think that's preety much a lost cause.

I limp into the Infermery. I notice J'onn on the floor, with Hal looking helpless. Barbara's helping someone with his costume.

Yes, we really do look like we're ready to face the Dark Allience.

...Wait. I look at the man Barbara's helping. He is in dire need of a shave. And a haircut. And a bath. And his clothing is cut up to hell. But, I could reconize the black and blue costume and the face underneith the hair.

"Dick?"

How could I have not reconized him at the beginning?

Like everything else, I'm blaming it on the knee.

Dinah followed Bruce off the javalin and looked at Kara.
"It seems to be pretty busy around here, why don't you take Raven to Bruce's coroner room." She said softly before following Bruce.

She could see he limped heavily but refrained from helping him. That's the last thing He'd have wanted.
"Stubborn men, I'm always surrounded by them."

Entering the medical bay she saw J'onn on the floor being helped while Hal looked helpless and confused.
Babs was helping...she did a double take, yes, that was Dick, out of his costume. He looked horrible.
She gave a sigh of relief to see that Barbara was alright. The outtake of air made her gasp.
She could feel the bruise growing across her stomach and up her ribs. He hadn't broken any of her bones but the bruise would be around for the next few weeks.

She gave Babs a quick hug. "I'm glad you're okay."
Looking at Dick she raised her eyebrow "Don't you think you went a little far to impress Babs?
Before he could answer Pieter stormed in.

"How did you ever get on without me? Don't you have any other Doctors on staff? Aughh... We don't have time for this, they could strike at any moment. Once we all get situated, I'm riding a mirror into Fate's Tower. Anyone else feel like coming?"

Turning she gave him a hard look and opened her mouth.

"I think I'm going to have to stick with computer work for a while, Pieter." Bruce snapped.

"How can you say that? We all want to attack them as soon as we can, but we can't do it with just a few volunteers out for revenge.
It doesn't matter if we strike them now or later. They have the upper hand and will keep having it if we continue to split ourselves up."

She glanced at Hal and then looked over at the table Bruce was on.

"This is going to be so much harder without him on the field."

"We lost Raven down there, and Cyborg was torn up pretty bad. Not to mention Batman's injuries and Ollies. We need to take our time and plan things out, this isn't a one man or womans war."
She paused as Ollie walked through the Bay doors with noticable bruising and cuts on his neck.

"Where is Superman?"
She turned to Hal and said softly "If you'd like to come with me, maybe we can get started on some things with Superman."
She nodded at Oracle, Mid-Nite, and the others not on a bed to include them as well.

She started to walk towards the door, before stopping next to Bruce.
"We'll pipe your comm through to the speakers, so you can communicate with us."

She turned to Babs "We can do that can't we?"



OOC: I bunnied a little bit, Hope that's okay..and does Batman have a coroners room? :confused: It seemed so harsh to say 'morgue' :(

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: I don't know why I would. Unless Bats' is using his inner Patrick Bateman. :confused: The closest thing I can think of that would be on the Watchtower would be the freezer in the kitchen.

[Phantasm]

IC:Oracle

"Yeah...It is possible. I'll go set it up." I reply, wheeling alongside Dinah as she, Hal and Mid-Nite step out of the room. I move along quitely not really knowing what to say.

Raven...

We lost her...

One would think being in this 'proffesion' would make us immune to the hard facts of life. Almost...used to it. But it hasn't happened yet. We;ve lost so many before and we continue to do so...yet the pain...doesn't seem to subside every next time something of the same nature occurs...

As we enter the control room,I move in front of the console and connect the necessary lines so that Bruce and Dick could hear everything and respond back to us. After this is done I turn back to Dinah and the others, crossing my arms arcoss my chest.

[Nightwing.]

J'onn lay on the table as the medics looked over him and did various scans. "I'm ok. I just need some rest. Give me a few days and ill be back on my feet. My body was just rejecting the damaged skin. This think layer of liquid is much like the liquid you humans develop in blisters. It is a salty substance which helps to heal my skin and coats in a protective layer. Theres not much anyone can do now. ill be ok" And with that he went to sleep. Dreaming of ways that he could prevent anything like this from happening.

[Phantasm]

OOC: Can I say...eeww...Martains are freaky people! :p

[Johnny Blaze]

Mordru chuckles as he hears about Adam’s confrontation with the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. From spitting in Adam’s face, to killing the civilian with a brash move, and including the actions by some on the Gotham rooftops, these heroes didn’t seem very heroic. The Dark Lord laughs at this as he and the Shade step through a doorway…and into the Scarecrow’s lab. Professor Crane is examining his new weapon when the pair arrives.
“Scarecrow…I’d like to introduce you to one of your other allies in this holy war, Shade.”

[Savage]

The Watchtower has been pretty busy as of late. You don't need me to tell you that. You take one look here, at all the costumes and injures and blood...you'd think it was a halloween party gone, horribly, horribly wrong...But yeah...These are earth's mightiest heroes. Bandaging and stitcing their 'ouchies' and 'booboos'...

I'm one of the very few people here who's been wearin the costume since childhood. Doing so you gain alot of experience with these kind of things and you meet and learn from many, many people. I'm in the big leagues now but I was a Titan first. Which is why it kills me to see these kids at death's door so early in their life. Tell me: What kind of person attacks kids? I mean there is evil and then there is just...absense of all humanity...And to have Black Adam involved in all of this, someone we've grown to trust...Rage. Sorrow. All understatements.

I walk through the infirmery taking in all the casualties. This is one of the few times I actually take things slow. That's when I come to a crowd of nurses and...mechanics?
They're putting back together Cyborg who was literally ripped to pieces. Guy's unconscious and damn near dead so he's not exactly much for words right now...And I keep moving on.

That's when I notice one empty bed...Someone's missing...Raven. Where's Raven? I grab a nurse by the arm.
"Where's Raven?"
"Extra crispy or original recipe?"
"...What?"
"She's in the morgue honey."
It was all so fast. It hit me like a cement truck. I try to open my mouth to say something but started to choke up. Her eyes widened as she realized this was the first I heard of it.
"I-I-I-I'm sorry. I didn't--"
I let go of her arm and walk quickly to the morgue. I want to see the body to make sure but at the same time I'm too afraid...When I get there...I didn't even recognize her...A part of me went into denial. That that could be anybody...But deep down I knew the truth...Here lied the body of Raven: Former Teen Titan...Jeezus, I don't even remember her name...And I've actually run out of tears. Hate that feeling. You want to cry but you can't...Kara must feel terrible...By the time this is over. When the Dark Alliance is defeated, and they will, I garuntee it...we all turn around and go home...What will be left of the Titans? What will be left of the League for that matter?...How many more people do we have to lose before this thing ends?

[twylight]

OOC: I don't know why I would. Unless Bats' is using his inner Patrick Bateman. :confused: The closest thing I can think of that would be on the Watchtower would be the freezer in the kitchen.

OOC: Kinda figured but for some reason I still see Batman as a detective. Anyway...
Thank you phantasm. :)

And that's as far as Black Canary goes in taking control.
So if our Hal, Dr. Mid-Nite, Supergirl, or any other person there would like to add to something...? Because I have no clue where this arc is supposed to go.

[Phantasm]

OOC: Yeah...I'm not sure either...

[Nightwing.]

J'onn lay overtime in the infirmary bed, peaceful. He was comfortable. His mind was quiet. He didnt and wouldnt let any voices into his head. He was at rest with himself...nothing could disturb that. Or could it?

[Batman]

Dick was in serious pain.

He figured he was too busy trying to get home to realise how much damage Clayface/Ra's had done to him.

He looked over at Bruce,who was.....as always.....silent as a mouse.

You could never really tell what he was thinking.

"So....Alots happened since I was gone,huh?"He managed to say,as Barb and Dinah left the room.

Bruce didnt even take a glance at him.

He wasnt alsleep.....He was just trying to collect his thoughts.

Dick figured it'd be best to leave it that way,and not force him to talk.

So....with a bruised body,a torn costume,and one pissed off mentor on the bed next to him..........Dick looked up at the ceiling.



...This was going to be a looooooong recovery.

[Johnny Blaze]

Dick was in serious pain.OOC: Hahaha...funny. :D

Yeah, I know. I'm an immature bastard. :o :(

[Tropico]

OOC: I don't know why I would. Unless Bats' is using his inner Patrick Bateman. :confused: The closest thing I can think of that would be on the Watchtower would be the freezer in the kitchen.

OOC: Ironically, Dr. Midnite is an excellent forensic; but Nightwing has chosen to take the character as a more action oriented person.

[Batman]

OOC: Hahaha...funny. :D

Yeah, I know. I'm an immature bastard. :o :(

OOC:You have a sick mind,Blaze!:mad:







...hehe.....It is kinda funny,though.:D

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Ironically, Dr. Midnite is an excellent forensic; but Nightwing has chosen to take the character as a more action oriented person.OOC: You mean rigel, right?

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: I just don't think Mid-Nite would keep a cool head or feel like operating, since this is all his fault. If some callous mistake you made costed several lives, you'd be frustrated, too.

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: "DAMMIT, Jim! You're a doctor, not a soldier!"

[DarkKnightJRK]

"So...a lot's happened since I was gone, huh?"

I heard Dick talking next to me. Meanwhile, I was comteplating whether I should have the nurses put some Morphene in me. I generally don't like the sensation, but I think the feeling of floating while still on the ground would be a nice change of scenery right now.

"Yes, a lot HAS happened," I reply, "there's a Dark Alliance formed to kill all of us. They've already killed your stalker Tarantula, and several of the Titans: Cyborg is being rebuilt right here, Raven's in the morgue, Bart is in the big Speed Force in the sky.

"That's not even half of it. Just wait until you hear what's happening with US. Alfred's dead. Slade killed Lucious. Tim snapped out of his 'Red Hood' thing and ran off with Ducard doing God knows what. I'm...I'm worried for him. I don't know if he's dead or alive...

"I tried getting everything back together. I tried helping, and now I can't even do THAT. Goddamnit, I'm useless now and I HATE IT."

[rigel7soldiers]

"Fine... I'm sorry for being so rude... aren't we fully equipped to defeat at least a few of them now, though? Whatever. We'll get Superman, but if the Shade decides to show up, he's mine."
