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

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC:Great writing DarkKnight. Do consider taking Eng. Lit classes if u don't do so already.You seem to possess a keen, analytical mind.

OOC: I'm in English now (it's mandatory for HS), but next year I'm taking Creative Writing classes.

Thanks for the complements, Phantasm, I now feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Yes. Yes, you may help me."

*J'onn turns his head and looks to Alfred and Oracle*

"I'm going to need to be alone with him.

*The two exit the room and close the door behind him.*

*J'onn enters the mind of Bruce Wayne.*

"My word Bruce. It is so dark in here."

*J'onn, in martian form, can see a light up ahead. He walks over to it. He finds himself standing in a large dark room. All of a sudden a street lamp illuminates the place and reveals a boy standing over two dead bodies.*

Boy: "Are you here to help me?"

"Yes."

*J'onn places his hand on the boy's head.*

Boy: "He's going to kill you, you know?"

"Who is going to kill me?"

*The boy lifts his arm and points his finger toward something behind the martian.*

Boy: "Him."

"The lights go out and it is black again. A large figure wraps J'onn up from behind him and whispers inhis ear."

The Bat: "The boy is mine Manhunter. There is nothing that you can do here. I rule this mind."

"I don't think so."

*J'onn goes intangable and The Bat falls right through him.*

"Bruce, I could use your help here."

*The Bat gets up and brandishes a large firey sword. The sword lights up the room which has changed in the batcave.

*J'onn flys over to the armory and grabs a sword for himself.

"Thank you Bruce."

*The Bat rushes towards J'onn and thrusts at his chest which J'onn blocks. The two slice and try to hit one another repeatedly. The Bat is gaining momentum and pressing J'onn against a ledge of a cliff in the cave. The Bat makes a grand thrust at J'onn and J'onn moves out of the way and hits The Bat in the back of his head. Before The Bat can fall down the cliff J'onn grabs him by his arm.*

The Bat: "You cannot let me die. I am a part of the boy's mind. If I die, he dies."

*Out of the shadows walks Bruce Wayne, the man.*

Bruce: "That may be true, but I am a part of you. A part that cannot be neglected. And if I die, so also do you."

*Bruce walks over and helps the Manhunter bring The Bat back over the ledge and they throw him down to the ground.*

"A truce must be made. If you do not agree, Bat, I cannot allow either of you to live. You must share this body and allow the boy to control this mind. Do you agree?

Bruce: "I will sacrifice it all before I let this monster take over."

The Bat: "So be it, manhunter. So be it."

*The two figures of Bruce and The Bat crumble into toy soldiers. J'onn picks them up. The streetlamp comes back on and the boy reappears w/o the bodies around him.*

Boy: "You did it, you stopped him."

"These are for you. Handle them delecatly."

*The light goes out and J'onn exits Bruce's mind.

*Bruce is in a deep sleep, but he is sweating heavily as if a huge fever has just been broken. J'onn goes back into his regular form and Barbara and Alfred walk back in.*

Alfred: "Is he going to be okay, sir?"

"He is going to need to take it easy for a while."

Alfred: "He won't like that at all, I'm afraid."

Barbara: "So you did it, then?"

"I had help."

OOC: I do apologize if I took too many liberties with people's characters. I can edit if you like.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: 'Tis cool. I would have probably done it like that as well.

[MST3K 4ever]

Luthor recevied the purposal from an exhausted looking Mrs. Crenshaw. She pointed out some very interesting peices of information about Krovenenku to Luthor. His mouth stood open as he read some more infromation. "Oh my dear Krovenenku you have been a very bad boy indeed."

Hal looks puzzled as Luthor stands open fro his desk and says to Hal, "Come on Hal this is where Krovenenku is about to beg me to take his entire company off of his hands."

The two men stride into the board room. Lex motions for Hal to sit in Loomis' old seat. He says, "Ladies and Gentlemen before I begin our meeting I would like to announce that I am hereby naming Hal Jordan to our board of directors. He has made some remarkable and long overdue suggestions concerning our security measures at Lexcorp, and not just here but these changes can be carried over to our other Lexcorp offices as well. Hal if you have any questions or anything on your mind please feel free to chime in at any time."

Luthor opens his Krovenenku folder and says, "To employ the security measures that Mr. Jordan is suggesting will require that we take back Kord industries from Krovenenku." There are audible gasps in the room and murmurs of Lex being insane to take him on. Lex continues, "I was prepared to offer him 2 billion for everything, however our investigative team headed by Mrs. Crenshaw has uncovered some very damaging evidence against Krovenenku which will enable us to take over his entire company for whatever price we name."

Lex walks over to the fax machine and faxes a series of papers to Krovenenku. Within a matter of moments the phone rings. Lex answers and puts it on speaker phone. Krovenenku screams into the phone, "What do you mean a purposal of 50 million dollars for my company? I am not selling it to you or anyone Lex! Especially you!"

Lex smiles and says in an almost evil tone, "MY dear Krovenenku, you sell me your company for whatever I ask for. You see I know something about your private life." He faxes another series of papers to Krovenenku. Lex says, "You see Krovenenku you are having an affair with a girl. Who is not 21 as she claims but actually 17 years old, and those are the photos to prove it. I have also faxed you a copy of Miss Racheu's birth-certificate to prove my point. It's the last page I would be concered about, Miss Racheu's father has many close ties to Ras-Al-Goul. Ras in fact thinks of her as his God-daughter. Imagine how Ras & Miss Racheu's father would react to all of this information."

Krovenenku says very low, "Oh my...oh no. All-right Lex it's all yours for 50 million."

Lex says, "The price just went down 40 million and I promise none of your employees will be fired."

Krovenenku says, "Done...I will fax you the contracts to your Mrs. Crenshaw and it will all be yours by the end of the day. One day Lex I will have my revenge against you I swear."

Lex replies, "Oh please, do you know how many times...I have heard that?" That sounded very familar...like I've said that to of all people Superman...no matter Lex continues, "Pleasure doing business with you Krovenenku." He disconnects the call.

Lex looks around the room which is now in stunned scilence. He says, "Ladies and Gentlemen...we have a deal." People nod and politely applaud, but very frightened. Lex Says, "Trust me this is for the better...if there is no further business I suggest we begin making arrangements for our new equipment and our new business associates. Thank you." The room begins to empty, Lex looks at Hal and says, "Please stay for a moment. I want you to witness what I am about to do. As head of security you have a right to know."

Lex calls Mrs. Henshaw and says, "Madeline, all of the information that you found out about Krovenenku & Miss Racheu, make sure it finds it's way to Ras-Al-Goul at once."

She replies, "Sir if we do that we have just signed Krovenenku's death warrant."

Lex replies, "Madeline if Ras-Al-Goul ever found out we had this information and we withheld it. We would suffer the same fate as Krovenenku. We're doing this for the good of the company and for all who work here."

She says, "Yes sir," and hangs up the phone.

Lex looks at Hal and says, "I don't like what I did, but it was either him or us." That felt so wrong on so many levels...and yet so right. Lex then says, "Well if you will excuse me I have a meeting with Sen. Diliion. I'll see you later Hal."

Lex leaves the conference room.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I wake up inside my bedroom. My brain feels ten sizes too big for my skull. Feel like I got ran over by a truck.

What the hell happened? Jesus, this is becoming too regular: me not remember what has happened.

I look around and I see Barbra next to the bed in her wheelchair, lying her head on the corner.

Sundenly it comes back to me, the inner madness that was inside me took control and I nearly lost my mind. I remember what I had done to Alfred...Barbra...oh God. Why did I do that to them? The logical answer pops into my mind, but I still can't figure out how.

I look at Barbra again, I see purple-ish marks on her neck. I remember strangling her and I feel the urge to jump out the window and end myself right then and there. Luckly (or unfortunately, I'm not sure which), my rationality and the fact that I feel to exhausted to stand stop this.

Rationality? If anything, this incident proves that I have little to none of that.

I look to her again. I remember not approving of her at first, but when she was shot by The Joker, she didn't lose herself at all. In fact, she got around her inability and became part of the "community" again as an information guru. To be able to turn things around like that, it truely makes her the strongest woman I know. In fact, she is perhaps stronger then I am, being able to cope through loss better than I.

I feel her stir from her sleep and look up to me. I see the bruises on her neck again and guilt rises up again.

"Barbra."

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

(thinking) Look at you Eddy. You really did it this time boy. How stupid could you be....I gotta get outta here. Sirens aren't too far. I don't need any cop's blood on my hands, atleast not now...

-After throwing a sheet over Eduardo's body I get out the house as fast as I can. I walk back down the alley, across the street to my car...

(thinking) Stupid move Eddy. Let your guard down, now your dead. The black suit had to be El Mendigo. I see the rotten little bastard's grown up some. I'll still break his f***ing back like a twig. Nobody steals MY money.........NOBODY.

-To get an idea of the damage I decide now's the time to check out the spot I had my things stored. Eduardo's dead, so that leaves me finding out from him an impossibility. Pulling over about two blocks from there I decide to go the rest on foot. Across the street from there is a small corner store. The drunk old man that owns and runs the place knows I'd come back eventually...

(BANE) Oye, old man, wake up!
(old man) Eh? Who are you? What in the hell do you want?
(BANE) Why don't you get off your lazy ass and see who it is?
(old man) Lazy? You sonuva... Oh, it's you. Hmm, changed your look huh? *cough* Egh, you shrunk some too, you were alot bigger. It's been awhile now hasn't it?
(BANE) Yes, it has. Tell me, what's been going on across the street.
(old man) Ah....I knew you'd come. You know, don't you?
(BANE) Some. Fill me in old man.
(old man) Yes, yes....I see. Well, El Mendigo's been very busy. His men have terrorized many lately. Just random robberies, crazy s*** for no reason. If I wasn't broke and hanging onto life by a thread they'd run me outta here, but I guess they decided to let time run it's course on me. *cough, kak* Hrmm, I bet money that they just hit up your spot out of dumb luck...
(BANE) For a drunk old man you might be right.
(old man) This drunk old man ain't stupid y'know. Just 'cause I don't see too straight doesn't mean I can't see at all.
(BANE) When's the last time you seen any movement over there?
(old man) Hrmm, I.......I don't remember so good?
(BANE) Suuure you don't. (toss old man a roll of money) How about now?
(old man) Ah, yes, now I remember. After they beat up and hauled off your friend they cleaned it out pretty quick. It's been a few weeks. Oh yeah, and these guys loaded a trailer about a week ago too. Sonuvab****es made a hell of a racket too, had my head pounding like crazy.
(BANE,thinking) A trailer? Why would they need a trailer? Unless..
(old man) I'm pretty sure after they found that cash El Mendigo knew who's money it was. Too much money in there not to. If not they could've beaten it outta your friend.
(BANE) Eduardo wouldn't run his mouth. At least not to them.
(old man) El Mendigo isn't some punk kid anymore. He's got a small army ready to strike any compitition that shows it's face. He's got crooked cops in his pocket now too. Who the hell do you think blocked off the whole street just so his boys could clean you out!
(BANE) If they don't know who it belongs to now, they will soon.
(old man) Heh, good luck.
(BANE) I don't need it. They do...

-After talking to the old man I cross the street and make my way through the back. Once inside I see he was telling the truth just by looking around. They ripped out the whole damn floor. How in the hell did they know what was hidden down below. All the money's gone, but that isn't what I came here for. The Venom. The vat of Venom. Gone. All of it. Gone. I walk back out and head to my car. I need a place to think things through. I drive. Awhile later I find this whole-in-the-wall motel. I check in. This is exactly what I need right now. Gives me some alone time to......prepare.

[Twitch]

*Zolomon, on his way to the Triangle sees a lone Robin blocking his path.*

"Man this boy is persistent."

*Zolomon stops*

"Okay Boy Blunder, here's the deal, we fight, no special pwoers, no gizmos and gadgets, mono y mono. If I win, stop pestering me. And I DO implore you to take this deal since I could kill you at any moment. Be glad I'm feeling so generous today."

*The two stand across from each other, sunset in the background, a tumbleweed passes by and Robin responds with...*

an uppercut knocking the air out of Zoom. Then Robin quickly set upon him a combination of moves. Robin then backs away and raises his hand.

Robin:bring it on

OOC:I have NO idea what to do with barb!It takes time to be up and walking about...how would I implement that in an RPG?!

OOC: I have no idea what to do with Canary, it's hard playing her on her own. Expecially since I have little knowledge of DC villians.

I encircle my fingers around the nape of my neck in order to soothe out the cramp from dozing off in an uncomfortable postion.As I lift my gaze up to meet Bruce's piercing eyes, my mind goes blank. Its just the kind of effect he has on people.Never was a man of many words yet he's got this inscrutable aura surrounding him, something that was broken a few hours ago...It was easier to deal with him then.And now, under his cool gaze, I feel once again like the amature, inadequate sidekick of his that I once was.

Shifting my glasses up the bridge of my nose, I weigh my words cautiously. "J'onn was here to...assist you."

As his jaw clenches, I add hastily, "The JLA didn't have a clue though."

OOC: Does J'onn and Batman have a problem with each other in the RPG? I thought they resdpected each other as detectives in the books. Just curious.

 

[Amazo14]

*AMAZO soars the cosmos looking for more and more power. Nothing can stop him now. But along the way, he stopped in the atmospher of Oa. He picks up his speed. Nothing can stop him now.*

OOC: Does J'onn and Batman have a problem with each other in the RPG? I thought they resdpected each other as detectives in the books. Just curious.

No.They don't. Its just that I figured that Bruce would be far from proud about having someone help him to normalcy.Its an ego thing.And Bats has a big problem there.

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

*Zolomon gets up and rubs his jaw. He then rushes forward and plants a fist straight into Robins face, flipping the boy over. Then swiftly turns around and shoulder rams the Boy Wonder's back in mid air, launching his body across the street. His body tumbles across the ground a bit before stopping.*

"Come now, you can do better than that." Zoom says with a casual wave of his hand.

*He then charges at the Boy Wonder*

"SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT!"

[OOC]Anyone know where I can get some pictures of Zoom in action? He's not exactly the easiest person to find.[/OOC]

I'm somewhat surprised when Barbra studdering like she is, like she did when she was starting out. I'm surprised because I've known her for so long, but I'm not really because I seem to have that affect on people. I'm not sure if I should relax somewhat or not. Generally I wouldn't, but I do because I respect her more and frankly I'm in no mood to do so.

"How long was I...gone?"

OOC: Phantasm, if you still need something to do, PM me, I think I have an idea.

I glance up at the ornate clock decorating the wall opposite his bed, "Around a couple of hours. But we were lucky in that the JL has fast transporting service. And Alfred called me about your situation a few days ago.But I couldn't make it due surgery and all." I flash him a quick smile, glad that he is taking this better than I'd originally anticipated.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I nod at this information, thank God I wasn't out for too long. Then that last part hits.

"Surgery?"

 

[Spike_x1]

As Superman and the Parasite broke through the streets of Metropolis, Rudy had involuntarily taken on Lois' form.

Parasite broke contact with Superman, knocking the kryptonian several blocks away.

"What the-?"

Lois' words and voice came from Rudy's mouth without his control.

"Clark! I can't hold him back for long!"

The Parasite snapped out of it and his eyes glowed terribly.

"Shut up! Shut up! SHUT! UP! You stupid dead b**ch!"

Rudy flew to Superman and began firing heat vision.

I hadn't really ever thought about having this conversation with anyone yet. Except dad.But that was a case where there was no explaining to do.

I heave a sigh, well here goes,"erm...LexCorp miraculously came up with a procedure which had the apparent potential to heal paralysis of any kind..."

I raise my eyes from watching my fingers fiddling on my lap and meet his curious ones. "Dad was pretty adamant about it at first-Wouldn't even hear of it really but eventually I guess he realized he had no choice but to let me just go ahead and do it."

Bruce's naturally arched eyebrow's arch even higher at this and if I wasn't so nervous I might have even dared laughing at him.Dick would have loved seeing Bruce this way. "Erm...so yeah...well lets just say I won't be wheelchair bound for so long." And to emphasize I raise my leg as high as it is currently possible to demonstrate.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I've always known I was fueled by tragety. My parent's deaths was the catalist of this, then other events after I put on the cowl started: Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face, Jason's death by The Joker, and so on. One of these was Barbra's paralization by The Joker. These events may have fueled me, but they were a curse as well. The guilt and shame of not being able to avert these diasters would drop into my stomech and punch it when it saw fit, such as the past few days, when they decided to give me a pile-driver.

So seeing that tragety gone right before my eyes as Barbra raised her legs, one of those demons escaped from my breath and I felt more alive then I ever have in a long time. If I were the type, I might have given some sort of large hug.

Then, as it always does, my mind set up a large question after seeing this: would she go back to being Batgirl?

Before, when she was hacking computers as Oracle, she would say that she didn't mind so much anymore, that she was content in what she does, but I could always tell she wasn't. While she welcomed being able to help in that way, I could tell in the look in her eyes that she wanted to fight along with us.

I should ask her, but I'll wait a little while, allow her to make her own decision. I definately wouldn't mind either way if she kept as Oracle or went back to the Batgirl title, but it's her own choice and I won't say anything until she says something. And I KNOW she'll say something...
