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

[Phantasm]

IC:Barbara Gordon


I take out a clean mug from the inside of the dishwasher and sit it at the counter. When the coffee is made I pour the delicious brown liquid into the mug and savour the smell of it. Smiling slightly, I wheel back into the computer base only to find Batman and Nightwing standing there. There is a slight chill in the air and I look to my side and notice the open window with which they'd obviously entered the place.

"Mind closing the window guys, not everyone in the room has kevlar suits on." I take a sip of the coffee and look at them from the top of the mug.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I close the window and I go back to my original spot. I figure I should be the one to tell her.

"Barbra, your father's been attacked by The Joker. He was infected by his laughing gas, but I was able to get the antidote in him. He's at Leslie's clinic now. We think The Joker's after you, so we're here to protect you."

IC:Barb Gordon

I can barely believe my ears."What?!" My eyes shift to Dick who's face confirms my skepticism. I place the mug on the table next to the keyboard and my fingers massage my forhead." I found out just a while ago that Joker was out of Arkham...It can't have-Is dad okay? I need to go see him."

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Yeah...Spike has serious issues..first Parasite and now joker

OOC:
Funny thing is, believe it or not, I actually do attend anger management sessions. This is just a fun way to occasionally vent and also make a good story at the same time.

Okay..should Dinah come back? Because..to tell you the truth, in the comics she would..but Diggers gonna go loose then..

I suppose it's either go to Africa or see what's shaking in Bab's life. Either one has potential.

 

[Spike_x1]

At the GCPD headquarters, a sickly colored purple gas was drifting throughout the building, pouring out the windows like smoke. All of the policemen inside who weren't dead were laughing their lives away. Joker and two henchmen walked through the hallways with gasmasks on. They raided the armory and headed up to the roof.

Once at the roof, Joker's men were ordered to alter the bolted-on sillouette of a bat on the trademark searchlight. Once the bat image was removed, the henchmen replaced it with two black dots and a curved line.

Joker gleefully switched the searchlight on. "Let there be light!"

A large happy face shown brightly above the skies of Gotham City.

"What can I do to YOU? Haha... don't make me laugh... haha... oh, too late."

*Hal flies down towards Kalibak. He then proceeds to streak upwards into the sky.*

"You see, it occured to me, after a couple minutes of not-so-intense thinki.ng, that you can't fly. So I was like, 'Hey, he can't fly'. What a revelation..."

*Hal picks Kalibak up higher and higher*

"So what would happen if I took you through the atmospher? Would you explode? I didn't think so, after all, you are Darkseid's son. Or at least, one of his sons. Orion, Grayven, yourself, Scott Free if you count him. I mean, geez louise, how many chicks are on your planet? I mean, your papa sure did get around."

*Hal picks up speed and enters troposphere*

"The weather is getting a bit colder, I see. It's cuz we're entering thye coldest part of the atmosphere. That's a little "cocktail part info" right there, just in case you need a pickup line for Mad Harriet or something. Speaking of which, that's probably the reason for coming to Earth, huh? I mean, if you don't like doing the bumpa with Stompa, might as well come to Earth. But remember, 'Bak, just cuz their cheap on Earth, doesn't mean their safe..."

*Hal flies Kalibak into the ends of the atmosphere of Earth*

"Sorry Kalibak, say hello to your poppa for me."

*Hal forms a cannon and fires Kalibak out of it and tremendous speeds towards the approximate position of Apokalips*

I can barely believe my ears."What?!" My eyes shift to Dick who's face confirms my skepticism. I place the mug on the table next to the keyboard and my fingers massage my forhead." I found out just a while ago that Joker was out of Arkham...It can't have-Is dad okay? I need to go see him."

"We gave him the antidote,and a seditive.He should be okay."

Nightwing turned to Batman,And whispered....So He wouldnt worry Barbara.

"...Right?"

 

[Twitch]

'I've wasted long enough time with this brat.'

*Zolomon appears in front of Robin.*

"Lets."

*He then rips the bo staff away from the Boy Wonder and dashes back.*

"It seems you are underestimating the full extent of my capabilities boy." He then looks at the staff in his hand. "A masterpiece of craftsmanship no? Collapsable, stronger than steel, and yet, just as everything else..."

*He then stares at Robin.*

"It is susceptible to time."

*Robin then sees his Bo Staff ageing and disentegrating. What would have taken years and years, Zoom had accomplished in mere seconds.*

*Hunter pulls out a card from his wrist band and points at Robin, only to disappear and reappear behind Robin. A large gash appeared across his chest. He then lowers his head by Robin's ear.*

"Now, let us finish this shall we."

"Finish this we shall" Robin said as he grabbed Zoom's head and dropped himself, driving Zoom's head into his shoulder.

Robin then took out the final tool..................a diemenson disrupter. He threw it into the sky and it opened a vortex. Robin then picked up Zoom and whisperd into his ear.

"I know that one day you will break out but until then, you rot in hell."

Robin threw him into the vortex and it closed.

"It's finally over."

Robin then falled down to his knees, hit the distress signal and fell unconsious.

OCC:Sorry for doing this without consent but you can get out.
Also, can someone of the Bats family pick me up then I can join the Joker arc.

IC:Barb Gordon

I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms across my chest,making sure to give Dick one of those glares which quite clearly displayed my irritation. "Well, one way to make sure is if I go visit him myself. God know what he's been through...in his age getting intoxicated by that venom..."

I turn to move towards the door but stop just as soon as a giant bright yellow smile up against the bruised Gotham sky catches my attention. "What is that?!"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I notice the smiley face shining in the Gotham sky. The Joker. I know it's him. It's got his M.O. vomited all over it.

"It's The Joker. I'll face him myself. Dick, you stay with Barbra, make sure no one gets in. I'm sorry Barbra, but I cannot allow you outside the Tower until The Joker is back in custody."

 

[Batman]

Nightwings eyes widen,at the sight of the Smile.

"Is that......The Bat-signal?!?!?!?!"

The smile looks projected,indicating that it is.I turn to Batman again.

"Im confused.....YES,The Joker is insane.....But he always has a motive.Why would he do this now?Why did he attack Jim?And better yet.....Why is he trying to get our attention....IF thats what hes doing?"

OOC:I dont think Nightwing knows about Barbaras surgery,hence his confusion.

I realize his confusion and I remember that no one has told him about Barbra's surgery. If I was the type, I might have smiled.

"It's not my place to tell you, Dick. Barbra, bring him up to speed."

 

[FrantikMagik]

*Hal flies Kalibak into the ends of the atmosphere of Earth*

"Sorry Kalibak, say hello to your poppa for me."

*Hal forms a cannon and fires Kalibak out of it and tremendous speeds towards the approximate position of Apokalips*

OOC: I guess that works- haha- whatever

IC: "I'll get you, Green Lantern! I will send the full forces of Apokalips on your..."

*The Boom Tube opens up and takes Kalibak back to Apokalips*

 

[Batman]

I realize his confusion and I remember that no one has told him about Barbra's surgery. If I was the type, I might have smiled.

"It's not my place to tell you, Dick. Barbra, bring him up to speed."

"Wait......What?You mean you actually KNOW why hes doing this?"

Nightwing turned to Barbara,even more confused than before.

"Whats going on?"

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

"Finish this we shall" Robin said as he grabbed Zoom's head and dropped himself, driving Zoom's head into his shoulder.

Robin then took out the final tool..................a diemenson disrupter. He threw it into the sky and it opened a vortex. Robin then picked up Zoom and whisperd into his ear.

IC:Barb Gordon

My alarmed eyes leave the glowing slits of Batman's mask after I'm sure he's left me to do this on my own.

I turn and my eyes meet Dick's expectant ones.At least I assume so. It is hard to make eye contact with people wearing masks. But after being in this business for long, I guess I'm used to it now.And here I was thinking talking this over with Bruce was hard...I push a strand of my hair behind my ear and clear my throat, "erm...I guess I should have told you earlier...I just didn't have the guts to..." I take a glance at him and notice he's listening, for once without interupting," Well...LexCorp seemed to have come up with a miracle cure for Paralysis and I sort of signed up for it..."

My eyes leave his and I look at my feet and after mustering up my courage I look up again, "I didn't think it would work but it did."

My eyes leave his and I look at my feet and after mustering up my courage I look up again, "I didn't think it would work but it did."

Nightwing just stood there......stunned.

He didnt know whether to yell at them both for not telling him sooner,or share his excitement that shes actually possibly walking again.

Given the fact that Barbara was going through enough as it is,especially now with her father being attacked.......He chose to do neither.

"I......uh.....Dont know what to say...."

Nightwing took a chair,and sat down.....silent.Barbara obviously didnt know what,exactly,his reaction was........At this point,he barely knew himself.

Finally,after a long moment of silence.......He spoke up.

"....So.....What Now?"

[OOC]. So do you have a kitchen sink in your belt as well?[/OOC]

OOC: Come one, RoseRed, it was Robin versus Zoom. You weren't expecting a fair fight, were you?

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

[OOC]A dimension disrupter? Since when the hell do you carry those in your belt?[/OOC]

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Yeah, I know... but then again, I've come up with multiple ways to take down a speedster... if anyone needs ideas, just ask me, rather than pulling a doohickey out of your belt... but we'll go with it this time... Zoom, you are now stuck in Limbo... lucky for you, Limbo is Prometheus's territory... and THRAKA has just begun to get back into posting...

 

[Phantasm]

IC:Barb Gordon

He seems...shocked.

I suppose that would be an accurate way to put it. He just sits there on that chair across from me, unusually quiet. And I guess his silence is a good thing.I hope so. Now that I think of it, I should have never backed off from at least informing all of those that matter...

I look into his face earnestly, "Look I know I should have told you but..." I shrug looking for the right words, "I wasn't even sure it was going to work..."

[OOC]A dimension disrupter? Since when the hell do you carry those in your belt?[/OOC]

OCC: Hell anything is possible but next time we go one on one, I'll ask Bats.

OOC: Hell, the boy had to pick up on my powers of Prep-Time sooner or later.

 

[Twitch]

OOC: Hell, the boy had to pick up on my powers of Prep-Time sooner or later.

I FINALLY GOT PREP-TIME OH YEAH BABY!

PS. Could you after the Joker signal please pick me up? I had a distress signal.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I realize that the two need to talk things over, and The Joker's still at the roof of the GCPD, waiting for The Batman.

"Dick, you stay with Barbra here at the Clocktower, I'll go and take care of The Joker."

Before any of them could say I word I put out a jump line and leap into the Gotham air in the direction of the GCPD station, to where The Joker lies waiting.

I know what you're thinking Joker: You heard about Barbra's healed condition and you think it would be funny to paralyze her again. It's not going to happen. I'm going to protect her from you the way I was not able to the first time, and not a force on Heaven, Hell, or on Earth will stop me...

OOC: Get ready Spike--The Batman's coming for your ass.
