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

[Spike_x1]

Rudy Jones twirled a pen through his fingers as he watched Batman and Red Hood fight. Both of them were simply ordinary humans, holding no real significance to him besides their obvious stature. Rudy was after the big fishes; the ones with power to offer him.
The Parasite had already taken all that he needed from Batman months ago, in their previous encounter when he drained him in the Injustice Society's underwater base. Unlike the powers that he drains from other metas, Rudy could keep the mentalities and skills of his victims, which would include Batman's martial arts. Wayne had nothing more to offer the Parasite.

He watched Red Hood kick Batman in the temple and contemplated killing them both were they stood. He pondered this as they continued fighting.

The only lead Kara got from the lab was a faint radiation source but no other information or even a guide as to what direction the assailant went.

Maybe Kal or Bruce can figure this out, and I need to convince Kal to do something anyway.

She flies out of the lab and sees Kal just getting to Gotham.

What the hell took him so long? I'm really starting to worry about him...

She zips over to him.

"Kal we need to talk. It's about Luthor. and then less importantly about me..."

"Ok, but can we talk and fly? I need to see Bruce about something."

OOC: Wow, there's alot of things that need Superman's attention, what first?

 

[Supergirl]

"Alright, I can do that. About Lex, what do you think about convincing Jimmy to run against him? If we get the JLA to through their support to him, I think he could stand a chance. Also, I needed to tell you that I'm moving out of the Fortress. I have a room at the tower now, and I'm going to see about enrolling at Stanford on Monday... and I've decided on a secret identity if its ok with you, Uncle John and Aunt Martha... I want to be Linda Lee Kent."

They fly to Wayne Enterprizes, and Kara drops back, since its only Kal that Bruce called for.


OOC: This post happens before we find out about Lex...

Harvey was confused. He had 2 options. Be jailed and fired from the DA or join the Joker and betray a friend.

He then let one thing decide it all, the coin. Flipped it and then catches it. He then lay it on his wrist………





“Heads you win!” Harvey said grinning

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I quickly reacted by lauching myself off a chair and kicked Bruce in the temple.

"Tell me again what you felt when you saw the real me."

"The last time I saw the real you it was the last time I saw you as Robin."

I grab his arm as he was about to slug me and throw him to the wall. I leap out and press my hand as his neck, choking him. I lift him higher until his feet dangled from the ground.

"What happened to you, Tim?"

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker smiled.

"That's what I like to hear, old pal."

The Joker slung his arm around Dent's shoulder amiably. He leaned forward, whispering into Dent's ear.

"So, I think you should be...starting your investigation of Bruce Wayne. I'll be contacting you soon with details on the next step of our plan."

The Joker grabbed his coat and hat, and sauntered towards the door.

"I'll let myself out. Cya soon, Harvey! HA HA!"

Walking away from Harvey Dent's home, The Joker was feeling very pleased with himself. Soon, Bruce Wayne would be disgraced, his reputation destroyed. Oh, the sweet irony of the famous crime-fighter being seen as little more than a common criminal.

But that was just the beginning. Oh, The Joker had a grand master plan, and it was only just starting to come together. But the pieces of the puzzle were slowly but surely falling into place. Once his masterpiece of destruction was complete, Batman would never be the same again.

"Oh, Brucie boy, you're going to have a really bad day. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

 

[Karem-Knight]

“ What have I done” Harvey said

“ Something you’ll be proud of some day.”

“NOOOOOOO, I can’t abuse the property.”

“Get us you whoosh the coin decided, when he decides you obey”

Harvey muttered and got the files.

2 hours later he got up and sent the files too court.

“What would the Joker want with Bruce Wayne?” Harvey said

“Perhaps we’ll find out, Or we’ll wait.”

“HEY DENT!” Said a voice

“Bruno?”

“Yeah that’s right”

How good too see you” Two Face said getting his gun and shooting Bruno!

“Oh My god! Harvey said

“You didn’t even let the coin…”

“Dent believe me when I’m done you won’t need the coin!”

Dinah Lance


The scenery outside the windows changed as it flew past. Dinah visited with the older women as they drove on, the bus bouncing a little as the driver was obviously making up for lost time.
One of the women, who had introduced herself as Edna took out her knitting bag. “You should have seen the trouble I went through to get this on the plane. The security in the airports is ridiculous!”
“Now Edna.” Said Sarah, whose short hair curled in silver waves around her head. “You know it’s for our own protection. You just don’t know who is going to do something to you these day’s”
“Oh, what harm is it to allow an old woman her knitting needles? They think I’m going to jump out of my seat and run down the aisle with them?” Edna indignantly said.


Dinah smiled listening as the two of them debated Airport Security and the ‘old days of flying’

“You’ll have to ignore them, they enjoy a good debate. At least this time it’s not about yarn weights” came a voice from the seat next to her. The little lady smiled as Dinah turned towards her. “I’m Freda, if you remember.” She said answering the look on Dinah’s face.
“Oh, yes!” Dinah replied “I’m sorry, it’s been quite a busy day.”
“Indeed it has. What with the bus trouble.” Freda said motioning towards the front of the bus. Glancing at Dinah’s camera she asked “Freelancer?”
Dinah nodded “One and the same.”
Freda smiled, “I did a bit of photography in my day..may I?” She motioned Dinah’s Camera.
“Sure.”

A few hours later after the passing towns had dwindled into passing shacks the women had nodded off.
Edna had fallen asleep with her knitting on her lap and Sarah with an indignant look on her face, as if she continued to debate.
Freda had excused herself a while ago and turned towards the window, her flowery silk scarfed head, bobbed up and down a little before settling, the only indication of her sleep.

Through the conversation with Freda about camera lenses and shutter speeds Dinah had keep half an eye on Digger Harkness, taking slight amusement in the fact that he was trying to hide the glances he was casting her way.
Now that the ‘Bridge’ club was asleep Dinah turned her attention to the mission at hand.
She had no real idea who was going to make the first move. He didn’t seem to be threatening, nor in any big hurry to ‘run’. She chided herself at thinking he didn’t feel dangerous. He hide it well, she’d have to watch him. She wondered how long that would take, he didn’t seem to be rushed. Maybe she’d just write this off as vacation time, a very guarded vacation time. Meaning as soon as she got back she’d start on something more substantial. Hal had mentioned a New Justice League. Maybe..just maybe….

Either way, she had no course of action until the man who called himself ‘Captain Boomerang’ made the first move.

So deep into her thoughts she hardly noticed her eyelids getting heavier and closing lower and lower, until a dreamless sleep had already claimed her and her mind registered it.

"The last time I saw the real you it was the last time I saw you as Robin."

I grab his arm as he was about to slug me and throw him to the wall. I leap out and press my hand as his neck, choking him. I lift him higher until his feet dangled from the ground.

"What happened to you, Tim?"

"HAHAHAHAHA!...........thank Zoloman he weakend Tim's defenses, giving me the time to take over. Take that final step.........to kill. The very thing you spent your entire life trying to stop."

I hit his head five times and he lossend his grip. I knocked him to the floor. I bent down to his face.

"You broke your oath, you failed your dead parents, you failed the world.......YOU FAILED!"

 

[Phantasm]

OOC:Good to see a more Bat-centered scene once again.I figure Babs' back at the Clocktower now...?
IC:Barb Gordon

"Barbara. It's 'B'. I need an urgent meeting with 'S'. My office. As soon as possible."


I connect to Superman and give him the message."Done". Running a hand through my hair, I hear a commotion of sorts at the other end... and something that sounds like Bruce letting out a low grunt,"What's going on there?"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"You broke your oath, you failed your dead parents, you failed the world.......YOU FAILED!"

Anger burns inside. It seeps through my edges, begging to unleash pure, white-hot fury upon him. But I must keep my focus. He's trying to rile me, trying to piss me off. I can't let him do this. I'm going to give everything I have to bring Tim back to us. Even if it takes death, as long as he's no longer mad as the Red Hood, I'll fade out of this Earth content. Now, I have to stop him.

It's then when I hear Barbra on the comm.

"What's going on there?"

"It's Tim! It's a trap!"

I feel a kick into my kidneys by Tim. I grab the foot and throw him over, landing on his back. Taking the oppertunity, I grab the foot with both hands and twist it as far as it can go, breaking the ankle.

"You son of a *****!"

I kick him off my foot. I take two .44 magnums out of my suit.

"Time to end this."

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"You son of a *****!"

I kick him off my foot. I take two .44 magnums out of my suit.

"Time to end this."

I look at the guns with a raised eyebrow.

"You're kidding me, right?"

In a flash, I take out two shrioukin Batarangs and throw them at the guns, hitting right into the entry hole of both the guns. I can't see it through the mask, but I can just feel the look of surprise sketched in his face. I may be getting older, but my reflexes are still sharp. I exploit his surprise and rush into him, punching into his chest and throat.

"You've grown soft. You know how I can tell? The guns. You have so lost your way that you need guns to beat me?" He tries to punch me but I grab the fist and break the wrist and fingers of the hand. "I was concerned, at first, when you started this, but the guns have helped me. Now, you're just a punk with a gun. And I deal with punks with guns every night. I'm going to stop you, and I'm going to force the real Tim Drake out, whether you like it or not."

 

[Twitch]

"Not a chaance in hell."

I use my uninjured foot and I kick him in the head.

"You know as well as I do I will fight to the death."

I charged

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Not a chaance in hell."

I use my uninjured foot and I kick him in the head.

"You know as well as I do I will fight to the death."

I charged

I used his momentum and tackled him down to the ground.

"I don't believe that. I can't believe that. I won't believe that."

I rip off the mask that holds the angered face of Tim Drake. He's almost unreconizable, his face distorted in anger that makes him look decades older than he is.

"I'm going to bring Tim back, and there is not a force in Heaven, Hell, or on Earth that will stop me."

 

[Twitch]

"YOU WILL NEVER STOP ME!"

I headbutt him furious and he staggers and I take avantage.

"Only one will survive and that will be me."

I punch him and his mask splits and shows a tired beat up old man.

"Evil will always win in this world, no matter how much money and time you put into it will always be there waiting for the right moment to strike."

"You...you might be right..."

Taking advantage of his monologing and chop onto a nerve in his right shoulder. Not a force on this Earth can move it now. He tries to punch me with the other and I punch in that same spot as well, killing off both his arms.

"...But so do I!"

 

[Spike_x1]

Rudy heard something that made him raise an eyebrow. He heard Batman call Red Hood "Tim". It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what he meant by that.

Tim Drake. Robin. No better than any of the other super-dweebs.

The moment was right! Rudy, in his super-model form, picked up the large, heavy oak desk and hurled it at Batman. The desk knocked Batman away from Drake and out the window that was broken earlier.

Rudy walked past the struggling Tim Drake, to the window where he had knocked Batman out. As he walked, he slowly transformed back into a towering purple monster, revealing himself. As he got closer to the window, he could see that the Batman was hanging onto the bottom ledge of the broken window.
Rudy could see Wayne's surprise even through his mask. The Parasite stood over Batman's hanging form, menacing.

"That's right, Wayne. The Parasite's back."

OOC: JRK, I'd suggest getting away from Parasite real soon if you want to live .

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Didn't you die already?"

I figured out that Rudy Jones, aka The Parasite, was the woman I saw when I got involved with this. It makes sence though, because I always senced that he was a bit..."confused." His..."encounter"...with Lex Luthor proved that without a shadow of a doubt. It's the only time I actually emphatized for that horrid human being.

I pulled out my grabbling hook and aimed for the roof. I shot it out and hit it onto the ledge and leaped out just enough to run along that floor. I dash off just enough for momentum and leaped right towards Parasite, driving my foot right into his face. I felt a small jolt from a slight drain, but not so worse for the wear.

 

[SuperFerret]

"Alright, I can do that. About Lex, what do you think about convincing Jimmy to run against him? If we get the JLA to through their support to him, I think he could stand a chance.

I have a room at the tower now, and I'm going to see about enrolling at Stanford on Monday... and I've decided on a secret identity if its ok with you, Uncle John and Aunt Martha... I want to be Linda Lee Kent."

"Jimmy?" the mention of Jimmy stopped Clark a moment, he hadn't seen Jimmy since Parasite attacked the Planet, "I don't think Jimmy is old enough to run against Lex, or that he'd want to."

He and Kara flew in silence for a short moment.

"Linda Lee?" He smiled, "I like it."

They fly to Wayne Enterprizes, and Kara drops back, since its only Kal that Bruce called for.

OOC: Just what is the situation at Wayne Enterprizes? I'm so lost with all the stuff that's happening.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Just what is the situation at Wayne Enterprizes? I'm so lost with all the stuff that's happening.

OOC: Basically, it's me vs. Parasite and Red Hood.

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Sorry for the delay. My comp froze for a while.

IC: The Parasite swayed his head slightly from Batman's kick, but the strength he had gathered from all over Gotham over the past few hours left him far stronger than Batman.
As the Batman did a backflip away from Rudy's face after the kick, Rudy thrust out his hand and caught Wayne's leg in mid-flip. Like so much trash, Parasite swung Batman against the ceiling, then threw him against the wall, letting him fall back to the floor.

"Face it, Wayne; you've got everything stacked against ya. I got all'a yer skills, and I'm hella stronger than you. What hope have you possibly got?" Rudy said, rolling his eyes at Batman.

OOC: Cue for Superman to rush in .

"You're right there. You have my skills, you are stronger..."

I take out a specially made Batarang, one that had a small electric current, enough to knock out your regular joe. It wouldn't do much to Parasite, but I plan to up the juice.

I throw it onto Parasite's chest. Right after I toss another Batarang, this time hitting the sprinkler. It slices though and water gushes through. It douces Parasite and the electricity in the Batarang increases 5 fold, making an extra crispy Parasite.

"...But I'm sure as hell smarter."

 

[Spike_x1]

Rudy easily caught the electrified batarang. He sighed at Wayne's stupidity and simply drained the electricity and small amount of inertia from it. Then he saw what Batman's real plan was. As Rudy caught the first batarang, Batman's second one set off the water works.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

The Parasite's body was trying to adjust itself to the sudden unexpected intake of electricity, but he couldn't adjust fast enough to avoid the short-circuit effect.

Rudy began spasming in his place, flashes of his skeleton glowing as the electricity coursed through him harmfully. When the bright light came to a stop, the smell of his burnt body wafted through the room. The Parasite fell to the floor, smoking. His strength had left him with the short-circuit and he was now just purple skin and bones. He couldn't even stand up.

OOC: Congrats JRK. That really felt like a genuine comic worthy victory.

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Just a small note JRK ; water doesn't really increase electrical output, but rather shorts out the circuit (if I remember my Shop class lessons correctly).
