[Harlekin]

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

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

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

"Diana,"

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

"Raven,"

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

"Cyborg,"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IC:Nightwing

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

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

The bike gave out.

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

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

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

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


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





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

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


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

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

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

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

And finally....He found it.

It was big enough for him,to boot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Black Adam sneered at the Shade's words and even more at his tone. That man is ingratiating enough that I should simply leave him to his fate, he thought, but duty is duty. Hmph, "a map." As if I didn't already make it my business to know where all of the JSA members lived during my time with them. Black Adam looked at the gem. Mordru had said that it could transport the Dark Alliance members from Earth to the Tower and back, but he never mentioned whether it could transport them to specific locations. Black Adam supposed that there was only one way to find out, so he held the gem in his hand and focused on the Tyler household. He felt the familiar chill of mystical teleportation and when he opened his eyes, he was floating in the air with Green Lantern streaking through the air below him.

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

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

"No Evil shall escape my sight..."

Without another thought, Teth-Adam took off for Jordan as the hero crashed through the neighboring house. He arrived just in time to pluck Jordan off of the Shade by the neck and savagely hurl him straight through the other side of the house. Though Black Adam had come to abhor his mission, his ancient warrior upbringing still reveled in the heat of battle. "You'd better give me a good showing with all that power, Jordan. You and your kind have it too easy with your omnipotent emerald energies. You believe they set you apart--that they make you gods among men. But they only make you weak and lazy and unfit to fight for yourselves. You cannot know battle--can't feel the frenzy of single combat in your bones--until you stand your ground and crush the life from your opponent's gurgling throat with your bare hands. THAT is TRUE power, Jordan!"

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

“Excellent”, Mordru says as he reaches out his hand, palm open, and the professor’s Scarecrow mask appears in a waft of green smoke, “I believe this is yours…Scarecrow.” Mordru hands the mask to Dr. Crane.

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

Mordru followed the Doctor out of the clinic after they had set it ablaze. He would teleport them back in a moment. It had been a little while since Mordru had the pleasure of seeing some good, old fashion chaos, and he wanted to hear the screams of those burning in the clinic just a few seconds more.

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

Mordru was about to fry the little witch with an eldritch bolt, but his latest accomplice seemed to handle himself rather well.
“Very good, Doctor Crane. Now then”, Mordru opened an ankh shaped portal heading back to his Tower, “I believe it is time for us to depart.”

 

[Harlekin]

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

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

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

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

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

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

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

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

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

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

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

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

...With the whole Clocktower collapsing into itself.

First thing, find Barbara.

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

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

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

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

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

"It's...you."

 

[Phantasm]

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

Okay...whatever happened to the Clocktower?!

 

[Harlekin]

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

 

[Phantasm]

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

 

[Harlekin]

OOC: Thanks Phant.

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

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

 

[Nightwing]

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

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

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I'll handle Deathstroke."

 

[Johnny Blaze]

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

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

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

 

[Charlie No-One]

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

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

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

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

 

[Phantasm]

IC:Babs Gordon


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

damn...

Making me feel useless once again.

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

 

[Batman]

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

OOC:Stop hitting yourself......Stop hitting yourself........Stop hitting yourself...........

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

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

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

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

IC:Nightwing.

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

Seconds later,He was being sat down.

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

FINALLY,after all this time,He was home.

Back home,in Go.....

He looked over at a sign.

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

The METROPOLIS Pier.

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

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

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

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

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

 

[Phantasm]

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

 

[TheCorpulent1]

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

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

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

 

[twylight]

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

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

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

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

"I'll handle Deathstroke."

IC:
Dinah transported down with the rest, only to be greeted with a burning inferno.

"Babs! BABS!"

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

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


"It's...you."

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

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

Dinah clenched her hands.

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

"I'll handle Deathstroke."

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

 

[Tropico]

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

"No Evil shall escape my sight..."

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

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