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

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Thanks. I'm thinking about taking a shot at being the Joker or maybe Deadshot for a while, then bring Rudy back.

 

[SuperFerret]

OOC: THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! Dude, I bow to your skill. And I thank you for letting me be involved.

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Thanks man. It would've been nothing if a great Superman RP'er like you weren't involved.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Spike, I wouldn't reccomend you changing characters... I'm trying to keep people from doing that...

IC:Barb Gordon

I cannot help but grin mischeiviously, "Dinah...I can't believe I let you out of this!"

Wheeling my chair next to her, I lift up my leg a bit.It still hurts and the muscles feel all weird but I cannot help it. Her blue eyes widen tremendously and she gasps in shock as I burst into heartfelt laughter.

Gasping Dinah puts a hand over her mouth! "BABS! What? How?"

Dinah stood up and threw her arms around Babs, happy tears fell on The former Batgirls Red locks. For the moment all thought of WayneTech and Digger Harkness left her mind.
It was probably the first time she had ever, so blatently shoved a mission aside.

Sitting back down she held onto Babs shoulders at arms length.

"I'm so happy for you! How did it happen?"

OOC: Bring it Dinah.... It'll be a pleasure to actually interact with another player. Seriously.

OOC: I'm gettin' there..Babs kind threw a kink in things..:P I have to be all happy and THEN we can move on...JRK...you can butt in when you want to get it moving faster.

OOC: Spike, I wouldn't reccomend you changing characters... I'm trying to keep people from doing that...

OOC: I understand, but I just killed off Parasite. I fully plan on bringing him back after a while, but that needs to take time. I would like to continue playing, but maybe give another character a shot.

I was seriously considering Joker. The fact that Barbara now has use of her legs, which Joker took away to begin with is a possible story that I don't want to pass up.

 

[Phantasm]

OOC: A Joker storyline would be just amazing!!!

IC:Barb Gordon

"Well, to make a long story short, I got help from Luthor. LexCorp to be exact.They developed a cure for paralysis and...viola!" I try to summarize it best without boring her."They say I can be up and about just as if it never happened. Like a miracle isn't it?But it will take some time...with physical therapy and all!"

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Fine, Spike, do it...

 

[Batman]

He got a taste of the night air,and it was sweet.

Having only changed into his Nightwing suit a mere two minutes before landing on the rooftop,Dick was glad to be back.

Having taken a trip to Gotham City for the earlier part of that week,He missed his city.Hell,he almost forgot he had his own city to protect.

Having long since grown out of his former role as Robin,The Boy Wonder,Nightwing still helped out now and then whenever he was needed.
In this recent case,he was tracking down an escapee from Arkham Asylum.

Robin was with the Titans,Oracle and The Birds Of Prey had another case,and Batman was STILL out of town,leaving Croc on the loose with no one to stop him.So,thats where Dick came in.

******

Nightwing had been searching the sewers for hours,and had actually gotten used to the stench.Of course,that didnt make it anymore pleasant.

He kept thinking about Croc,and the people he had hurt during his escape.Two guards injured,one guard got his arm bitten off,and five of them dead.

He didnt like that last part.

As he went deeper into the dark ruins of,at least....what was left....The Gotham City Sewer System,He heard noises.Finally,he was getting somewhere.

-Clank,Clank,Clank-

Nightwing easily penpointed the location of the sound....and unfortunatley,Killer Croc aswell.

But.....He was already taken care of.Nightwing had found Croc with blood coming from his nose,a black eye,quite a few bruises,and he was knocked out cold.......by someone else.

It could'nt have been Batman,He would've taken Croc back to Arkham by now.And Robin,well......couldnt make THIS kind of damage.Superman?BANE?BlockBuster?Solomon Grundy?

Better yet.....what was that clanking sound,if Croc wasnt concious to make it?

He didnt have time to figure that stuff out.The important thing was,Croc was still alive.Now,Nightwing was ready to get out of the sewer,take Croc to Arkham,and get home as soon as possible......which he did.

******

Needless to say,Nightwing hadnt been able to beat Killer Croc himself,so he was desperate for some mugger,or some supervillian,to beat the living crap out of for stealing someones purse,robbing a jewelry store,threatening to blow the world up with nucular bombs and enslave it for thier own,or something like that.

And sure enough,Nightwing got his wish.

"HELP ME!!!HES GOING TO KI...."

Nightwing heard the scream for help......and since it was cut off,he had to get to the scene fast.

Pulling out his billy clubs,He was more than ready for this.

"Its showtime"

And with that,He lept off the roof,heading toward the origin of the womans scream.

OOC:This is my first post as Nightwing,so if it sucks,tell me.

And BTW,the "Killer Croc being knocked out already" thing will be explained later on..

Dinah looked at her in disbelief. "LexCorp?" Her mind went back to WayneTech in an instant. Standing she said "Babs, just be careful and don't push yourself too much. I'm gonna take this mission for Bruce." She said motioning to the screen. Walking towards the door she asked "Can you please arrange for a transport? And make sure it's not affiliated with Bruce. WayneTech or Batman."

Coming to the doorway she turned and added "And when I return, we shall start on the physical training." She said winking before slipping out the door.

Running down the hall she made a quick list of things to pack.

The man known to the world as the Joker had escaped that very night from Arkham Asylum. He had been in therapy with Dr. Arkham when Joker thought that it might be funny to see if Arkham's head would fit in between the cell window's bars. It didn't fit.

When the guard came in after hearing the screaming, he found Dr. Arkham's head still squished in between the bars and the Joker laying on his cot, whistling inocently. The guard threw up when he saw that Joker was wearing Dr. Arkham's severred ears.

As the guard puked his guts out, Joker leapt onto him and stole his gun and commenced beating the man to death with the butt of the gun. Then Joker stole the man's uniform and simply walked out of the asylum. He arrived at his old hideout in Gotham's warehouse distract. As he burst through the door and looked at his stash of weapons that he had collected, he giggled to himself.

"Smell that?", Joker asked himself. "That's the sweet, sweet smell of napalm! Heheheh!"

The Joker looked around the warehouse, expecting to see his playing card with breasts named Harley around somewhere, but he found not a soul but his own.

 

[SuperFerret]

"What now?"

That's what I asked myself before Parasite died, before whatever was left of Lois was scattered to the winds.

I'm back at Everest, it's a good place to think. Quiet, secluded, nearly impossible to get to, perfect.

To my surprise, I find myself mourning, not just for Lois, but for Parasite. I don't like death, yet I had thought about killing him. Heroes shouldn't kill, it's the line that separates us from the bad guys.

Funny, I hadn't thought of myself as a hero since Lois died. Maybe her farewell provided me with closure, I don't know. But I do know something, I'll never forget what happened. It will drive me on, as Bruce's past drives him on. I will never give up. Never.

I will fight, endlessly if need be, for truth and justice.

And for Lois.

As Dinah and Barbra talked, I kept silent on the comm. I didn't really want to break up their "hallmark moment." As Dinah left to pack for the mission, I decided now's the time to do what I intended to do.

"Barbra." I see her jump slightly and she wheels over to the moniter.

"Hey Bruce," she replies, "need some info or something?"

"Not at the moment. You probably know that since I was...away from the city, the crime rate here in Gotham's raised. Gotham need me. But I can't do it alone. I...need your help. Whether it's still as Oracle or you come back as Batgirl. Have...have you decided what you're going to do?"

 

[Twitch]

"HAHAHA!! Well Boy Wonder, I'll admit to you this was quite a suprise. It's been awhile since I've been maced. You seem to forget that I'm a profiler, I'm trained to take this *****, to keep all the information I hold."

*Zolomon makes out a shadow outside the red fog.*

"Oh, and one more thing...You Cheated. Pathetic! Robin. I wasn't aware heroes cheated. But if there's anything I know when I make a contract is that if the other side breaks." Hunter breaks out into a deadly smile. "Then I can too."

*An invisible punch into Robin's stomach sent him flying backwards...straight into Hunter, who then smashed both his fists into Robin's head, sending it flying into the floor.*

"I was trying to help you Robin, and you had to go along and break the rules. You'll be sorry boy, oh, you'll be sorry."

OCC: That was awesome

IC

Robin banished the pain from his head and took out some conncusion genades and threw them.

Robin:HAHA......No your the one who's pathetic, I mean you couldn't beat The Flash. He is way faster than you. Oh I can see you are angry. Come charge at me again you bastard.

OCC: You are not going to beat me Rose.

IC:Barb Gordon

Well, I knew for certain that I was not exactly planning to lead a 'normal' life after my legs started working properly.I have gained too much knowledge while putting on these masks that it would be shameful to just ignore them. I realize Bruce is still waiting for an answer.I'm flattered that he is really interested in having be working back with him.

"I've been thinking alot about this Bruce. Do you think the Batcave has enough room for another bat?"A small smile curves my lips. As Batgirl I can return better than before now with all the knowledge I have encompassed as Oracle. And it wasn't as if all that is thrown out the window.I can do her work too if required.

 

[Spike_x1]

The Joker walked through his hideout, humming the tune of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" to himself. He passed a dead woman's body, laying on the makeshift kitchen table. He opened the fridge and pushed the frozen severed heads aside in order to get to the orange juice.

"Nothing like a good healthy glass of OJ."

Joker drank the juice straight from the carton. Seconds after swishing the juice around in his mouth, Joker realized it was expired. He gagged momentarily and spit it back into the carton. He gazed at the dead, rotting woman on the table.

"I guess we need to pick up some groceries, huh?"

The dead woman didn't respond.

"Oh get off your lazy ass and enjoy life! We need groceries, dammit!"

Joker grabbed onto the woman's ankle and dragged her body out to the car, all the while mumbling about how the woman won't shut up.

"Can't live with 'em... well... I guess that's not really a problem, is it?"

 

[Batman]

He raced aloing the rooftops,desperate to save her.

The Mugger held a gun to the womans throat,taking her purse from her in the process.

"You scream,and I'll kill you,lady.Got It?"

The woman,while obviously frightened beyond words,manages to make a nod,indicating she understands.

As he counts the money from her purse,he thinks about the possibility of her carrying around money in other areas.He backs up,still threatening her with the gun,only not holding to her throat anymore.

"This all you got?"

She cant talk,shes still too frightened.

"ANSWER ME,DAMMIT!!!!!"

She starts crying.

"DONT KILL ME,PLEASE!!!"

He grows annoyed,and decides to kill her anyway.As hes pulling the trigger,The woman closes her eyes,preparing for the worst.

Its at that moment that a batarang spins through the air,slicing the gun in two.The thug stares in shock at it as the other half of the gun falls.

"Man,you REALLY need to learn some manners."

The thug looks up,only to be greeted by the bottom of a black boot.

Nighting landed as the thug fell down from the impact of the kick.Wasting very little time,He flips through the air,lands on the thug with both feet,and flips again,landing above his head.

"I'd be happy to teach you,if you'd stop being suck a jackass."

Nightwing was serious most of the time when he fought a thug.Taunts and comebacks werent usually something he'd dish out during a fight,because he was taught to keep focus of his surroundings.

But this night,he was in a GOOD mood.This being the first thug he'd fought in about a week,He had actually missed the feeling of pummeling a guys face in for doing something wrong.

The thug was actually going to attempt to put up a fight,and Nightwing found this amusing.

Pulling a knife from his jacket,the thug swung at Nightwing,who easily dodged it.Taking advantage of this,Nightwing grabbed the thugs arm,and twisted it while sending of of his billy clubs up the thugs chin.

Dropping the knife,the thug tried to recover from the attack,giving Nightwing all the time in the world.Thinking about numerous different ways to take this guy down,Nightwing chose a simple move.

Flipping through the air,Nightwing spin kicked the guy across his face,sending him into a pile of garbage cans.The man lost conciousness fast,which was kind of a disapointment to Nightwing,who was expecting more of a fight.

"T..Thank You."

"No Problem."

Nightwing took out a grappling hook,and with a push of a button,the line fired and snagged a nearby railing.Nightwing was airborne in an instant,and within a few seconds,he was back on the rooftops,making his way to a nearby gargoyle.

The previous fight,while being somewhat.......easy.....only confirmed Nightwings previous thought..........It was good to be back.

"SOMEBOY HELP ME....PLEASE!!!!!"

Nightwing heard this scream aswell.Penpointing the origin of the scream,like with the other scream,He leapt from the gargoyle,ready to go back into action.

It looked to be a long night.........And he wouldnt have it any other way.

*Kalibak rampages through the city and notices Hal Jordan up in the sky*

"Green Lantern! You are mine!"

*Kalibak leaps into the sky and into Hal Jordan*

"****!"

*Kalibak rips at Hal but Hal puts up a defensive force field between them. He then makes a spiked gauntlet and smashes Kalibak towards the ground*

OOC: Sadly, HuyLantern has told me that he's pretty much done in this RPG and will be posting his last post soon. However, he doesn't seem to be against the idea of coming back for occasional cameos.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Well, if someone wants to play Sinestro, i can't stop them... too bad, I thought HuyLantern played a good Sinestro...

Her grin damn near makes me do the same, but of cource that doesn't happen but instead a small smirk graces my face.

"Alright, so obviously you'll need to have some more training along with your physical therapy. I'd be more than happy to help you there."

As I said that, a part of me was trying to stop this: "What the hell are you doing?! What if she gets hurt again?"

Of cource I thought of that, but couldn't all of us get hurt out there? Granted, that hasn't stopped me before when it came to my...assosiates in my crusade. But for some reason, I can't think of Barbra as an assosiate. In fact, finding words to describe it only came up with...equal. Perhaps not exactly in terms of martial arts knowhow, but she's got the drive and is perhaps as stubborn as I am.

Another part of me agreed, saying: She needs this just as much as you need Batman. Come on, it'll make ya feel like a young man again.

"Oh!That would be great!" I bring up the gigantic map of Gotham City and press my glasses to the bridge of my nose, "So is there anything you want info on?I'm kinda sitting here bored.Guess I only have Dinah to look after."

 

[Spike_x1]

The Joker walked into the grocery store dragging the corpse of the woman he had found in his warehouse. Sure she smelled like year-old cabbage, but Joker would fix that and buy her some febreeze.
As he strolled through the aisles, people screamed and ran at the sight of him. Joker yelled at those who fled.

"Come on! She doesn't smell that bad!"

A rat crawled out of the woman's mouth and scurried away.

"What was it we wanted again?" Joker asked his companion. "Oh how silly of me to have forgotten. We need some good old fasioned, Florida squeezed orange juice." Joker noticed the flies gathering around his corpse. "We'll get some bug spray too."

Joker had taken an abandoned shopping cart. He crumpled the dead woman into the cart and continued to pick out all the groceries he had come for. As he was heading for the checkout, he noticed a heavyset man cowaring in the frozen foods section. Curious, Joker approached the man and did his best to imitate a store clerk.

"Can I help you with anything, sir?"

The man barely whispered his response, "P-please don't k-kill me."

The Joker merely grinned at the man. "Perhaps you'd like a container of Baxter's Ice Cream? Joker took a container of strawberry ice cream from the freezer next to him and showed the man. A nice frozen, heavy, rock-hard brick of ice cream?" Joker raised the container of ice cream and brought it back down onto the man's head over and over again.
When Joker was finished, nobody would be able to tell the difference between the man's brains and the strawberry goodness.

"You got something on your face. HAHAHAHAHA!!"

Joker proceeded to the ghost town of a checkout line. Everyone had fled. The GCPD would be here within moments. Joker ran his own groceries through the checkout and got frustrated when the dead woman wouldn't fit in a grocery bag.

Just as he was leaving, out of the corner of his eye, Joker saw a tabloid article. Something about LexCorp's new spinal recovery procedure. And look who's picture was displayed so proudly as the first subject! A familiar little redhead.
