OOC: 1000 replies!

I should've used that opportunity to do something creative... pfft.

A silent alarm soundlessly echoed through the city. A bank teller activated it, but she was shot dead for it. The robbers were on their way out of the building when a blue and red breeze blew past them. They knew what that meant.

"SUPERMAN!!" somebody exclaimed.

Indeed, it was the Man of Steel hovering right in front of the two unfortunate bank robbers.

"I don't think you're authorized to make such a large withdrawal."

"***** YOU, BOY SCOUT!" one of the robbers yelled, firing two shots at Superman's face. The bullets bounced off his cheek, only drawing a small trickle of blood.

"Stop. Now."

But the bank robbers had other plans. They both turned around and fired wildly into the bank, aiming deadly bursts at the people inside.

Another breeze came by and whipped around the inside of the building. After a second, Superman stood still. He extended his arms towards the shocked bank robbers, and opened his fists. Bullets poured from his palms and fell to the ground.

"I think these are yours."

OOC: I'll write another Joker post later. I'm tired now, so I'm gonna go catch some shut eye.

"Buy Keystone next time!" The Flash yells back as he runs home and gets back in his civilien clothes. "Captain Cold in jail, Weather Wizard, Grodd and Mirror Master in hiding. I think I'm actually getting board." He says as he rests his head in his hands. He turns on the TV and sees Captain Boomerang in Africa. "HEY! He's one of mine! Score!" He bolts out the door in his costume.

[OOC]Uhh yeaa...So, am I allowed to you know? Cut through space with one of my cards. I'm sure at the speeds I can go at, it'd be possible.[/OOC]

*And so, Zolomon continues to drift through space. He had long since lost track of time of how long he had been there.*

"Come to think of it, I don't even know how old I am anymore." He speaks to himself.

*He discovered he could move by willing his body in a specific direction.*

"Then again, this place could be moving around me...Haven't seen anyone since I got here...which was...sometime ago."

*He looks at his wristbands, which contain his civi clothes and business cards. They remind him of technology that has yet to be discovered by people.*

"Now where the hell did Batman get a dimension disruptor. And why of all people did he give it to Robin. I swear when I get out blood will rain from the skies."

*Hunter had only done it with small objects. But he knew that he could erase and entire city. Gotham? Metropolis? He then thinks of Gateway.*

"Hahaha, ah yes Wonder Woman. I never did finish that battle. Perhaps I should take it to her Amazonian homeland."

*He then realizes that he failed his job as the Reverse-Flash.*

"I'll have to try harder...They are not fit to protect mankind...They need...MY HELP!!"

*He then looks up and...*

[OOC]Kinda hard, trying to get Hunter's personality. I read the ending issue where WW, Zoom, Flash, and Cheetah duke it out. I think it gave me a good grasp on what Zolomon should be doing. Hopefully once he gets out of this stupid place it'll be better.[OOC]

OOC: Dwarf Lord, you're gonna have to edit that post and wait. I have TWO scheduled conflicts ahead of you. Besides, CB hasn't appeared in costume in Africa...there's no WAY he would be on TV. I'd love to face off with the Flash eventually, but I have put too much time into developing this current arc to throw it out the window. Be patient and we'll get into and arc of our own. Thanks.

Digger stood motionless in the afternoon heat. All he could do was sweat. He couldn't even brush away the flies that landed on his skin. His eyes remained fixed straight ahead...fixed on that damnable voo-doo witch doctor, Houngan.

Houngan chuckled, and said, "Mr. Harkness I'm afraid I can't allow you to throw that weapon at my person. I allowed you to travel in my company. Fed and sheltered you. Gave you opportunity to go about what you came here for in the first place. Still you would try to kill me?" he asked. "I realize, and understand, your resentment towards being manipulated into serving against your will," he continued, " and in gratitude for your actions, I will allow you movement. However, I cannot allow you to kill me. Should you try, you will find your heart refusing to beat..." he concluded.

In the next moment Digger found his limbs responding again. He blinked repeatedly to re-moisten his eyeballs. As he tightened his grip on his boomerang he felt his chest tighten as well. He loosened his grip and the tightness faded. 'Demmit, this bloke has done me on all fronts,' he thought to himself.

Houngan smiled as he watched Diggers' internal struggles. " I feel you are deserved of explanations Mr. Harkness. While the WayneTech was not directly poisoning our people in the way you were led to believe, they were poisoning them in another, equally unacceptable way. They were providing monies to causes that would promote a shift in the power balance in this part of the world. A shift most unwelcome by my employers. Western ideals concerning human rights issues are not popular among the ruling classes of Africa. I am paid to halt that progression and have been quite successful. Look at Nigeria and Rwanda. Much of that unrest has resulted directly from my efforts."

He paused, allowing Digger to absorb this information. Digger took this opportunity to speak his mind. " I don't give a dem about your politics, I expect to be paid when I do a job," he said. "You wanted someone else to take the heat so's you could remain invisible. Fair enough. But if I don't get paid...you get dead...one way or the other," Digger concluded.

Houngan considered Captain Boomerangs' words for a moment. "Very well, Mr. Harkness. You came here to Africa to distance yourself from your dependance on scientific gadgetry...to rediscover your innate skills and acquire new ones. There are old potions that would serve a man of your talents well. That will be your payment," Houngan said.

"Wait a GOD DEM minute!!! If you think I'm gonna take Jungle Juice for pay, your outta yer mind!!!!!" Digger exclaimed.

"Were you not just rooted in your place, and manipulated by so-called jungle juices?" Houngan asked.

Digger thought for a moment before replying. "OK, then it's a deal mate. But you still owe me one, and I WILL collect," he said.

"Fair enough," Houngan replied.

The two men then reviewed the exact nature and details of the 'gifts' Digger was receiving. The two then parted company, and Digger headed back north again in his '71 Mercedes...air conditioning at full blast. He intended to spend a day or so relaxing and studying his newly acquired 'tools.' Then he intended to head back to Johannesburg...his contact man worked for Houngan...and while he couldn't kill Houngan...the contact man was something else entirely.


TO BE CONTINUED....

OOC: Let's play little birdies....heh.

OOC: Yeah, we already got Stewart, with Canary and Robin on the way, I think that's more than enough heroes.

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: Gawd, I would hope so. lol.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Well, Hal just teleported near Canary, so I guess I'm in...

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Actually, never mind... I just got an idea... I'll talk to Canary for a little while, then skidoo...

 

[twylight]

*Hal smiles to himself.*

"That could be arranged."

*Hal teleports right next to Dinah*

OOC: I'm going to assume you know I'm in an airplane..

IC: Dinah started and looked at her cell phone.

"Guess, I don't need this." She said flipping it closed. "If I had know the response would have been so immediate I would has requested an outfit, Boy's size M."

OOC: Plane? Oh yeah, of course... um, yeah, i knew that...

IC: *Hal buckles himself into the seat next to Canary*

"How you doing, Dinah? Life treatin you well?"

Leaning forward to adjusts a few of the plane controls, Dinah smiles " So far, though I don't know what I'll be saying in a few days." She paused and looked at him as she decided what to say next.
"After picking up the young Boy Wonder, I'm heading to Africa to see about a guy named Digger Harkness he calls himself "Captain Boomerang."

Tapping her slender fingers on her armrest she asks "Know anything about him?"

"Digger? Yeah, I know him. Back in the days with Barry, he used to give Barry a hard time. Boomerangs are his gimmick, but then again, it doesn't take Batman to figure that out. Over the years he's honed his skills, and become more than one of those gimmick freaks. He's vicious, Dinah, and dangerous. Don't underestimate him."

*Hal looks away from Dinah*

"How's the League doing?"

"How's the League doing?"

Dinah nodded as he told her about Digger. Blowing up a WayneTech factory didn't seem to mark him as the 'gentle' type.

Hall looked away from her when he asked about the league.

Looking down herself she answered softly "I don't really know. They don't really seem interested in me. I'm rather 'non-powered' for them. It's a new League."

 

[batnkevlar]

"It doesn't seem like the new League has been active for very long. I have an idea, and I want you back in the League. That is, if you'll accept."

 

[twylight]

"It doesn't seem like the new League has been active for very long. I have an idea, and I want you back in the League. That is, if you'll accept."

Dinah looked up her mind racing.
"I have a commitment of my own, however..things seem to be changing."
She paused "I accept. After this mission I would be more than glad to join, but I do need to be able to balance my solo life, unless that changes."

*Hal smiles*

"Good"

*Hal kisses Dinah on the cheek*

"Then it's about time I put my plan to work. See you later, birdy."

*Hal teleports out*

Dinah smiled as he left and gave her head a slight shake.
Yes, the older League Members had more in common with each other. She felt suddenly old at the thought that others view Hal as 'old'. Was she 'old'?

She thought about that for a while before leaning back.

4 hours later and one fuel tank stop she landed at the Island Babs had given her directions too.

Stepping out of the plane she leaned against it as the airport team started to refuel it.

"Did you find Tim yet?" I ask Dinah just so I have something to do.Sitting around in the Tower is more satisfying when I know I can make atleast some difference by a click of a button. Now with Dad probably lying in some hospital with going through God know what and I not being able to do anything about it, a situation I am not very fond of.

I do yet another survey of any sort of chaos that may have occured during the past few moments and I am shocked to read a recent discovery of a Joker gas intoxicated Cop who's car got taken away by the Joker. Oh God! Where the hell was Bruce?!

Unable to subdue my anxiety,I turn around in my chair and face Dick one more time, "What's taking Batman so long?!"
