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

[Batman]

OOC:Holy crap.....Do I sense a surprise twist coming?!?!?!?

IC:

Dick hates himself.

He didnt want to believe it...But he gave in,and accused Tim of being a murderer.

And now,Tim is missing.

When Barbara spoke,her tone indicated she was mad.

Dick could tell,even though she was holding it back.It was probably because He had accused Tim of being a killer,and now this.

He didnt blame her.Just the thought that Dick said that while Tim could be seriously hurt,or even...

Realising how serious this could be,Nightwing got up,and without so much as glancing at Barbara,dove out of the window of the Clocktower,catching the Gotham air.

He pulled out a grapnel,and fired,snagging a gargoyle.Picking up speed,he swung into the air,and did a flip,before landing on the rooftops.

As Nightwing ran towards the spot that Batman was located at,He prayed to god that Tim was still alive.

He just had to be.

OOC:A weak post,I know.....but Im not feeling very creative today....

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Don't worry about my slow RPing coming up. I'm going to wait until Batman and his crew get done with what they're doing, then hopefully someone will sit down and have a talk with Harley so I can further my plot better.

I meet my adversary in the flesh for the first time. The Red Hood, clad in red and black with kevlar holding on the chest and a black trenchcoat over it. The mask, crimson red, resembles more like a skeleton.

Soon afterward Clark flies to me, asking what's going on, I only point to the Red Hood and I see them notice each other.

"Stay out of this, Superman...or should I call you Clark?" Only a foolish man could not notice the look of shock on his face. "This is between me...and Bruce."

Clark looks to me and I give him a nod. Clark may be slightly nieve, but he knows when two men have to settle thier affairs on their own. Clark steps back and watches.

We--myself and the Red Hood-- circle each other, testing ourselves. Patience wears thin and we both rush towards each other in a flurry of punches and kicks that only top martial artists know. Whoever he is, he was trained by the best.

The moves fly from eye to brain and brain to hands that I don't think of what moves are happening. Eventually, the final blow is thrown by the Red Hood, kicking into the side of my kneecap. I drop down in pain and the Red Hood starts to laugh.

"Tell me, Bruce, how does it feel to be outsmarted by me?"

"What?"

"You truly haven't figured it out yet, have you? I've played you for a sap for a long time. I was using your systems, like a leech inside, feasting on the beatiful...red...blood it holds. Of cource, the boy who controled me tried to keep me at bay. Me, the darkest part of his soul. But it does no good. In the end, the darkness will always catch up to you, and eat you alive. There may have been good in me before, but there's nothing left...nothing."

He takes off the mask, and my world crumbles around me.

"The boy you knew is dead, I am it's successor."

No...no...it can't be...

"Tim?!"

 

[Batman]

Nightwing could've dropped dead right then and there.

About a minute into the fight between Red Hood and Batman,Nightwing landed on a rooftop right next to the scene.

He would've intervened,but Bruce could handle himself.

He noticed Clark was there,so if things DID get bad,He could stop it in a second.....literally.

Thats when Red Hood took off his helmet.

Nightwings eyes widened with horror as the face of Tim Drake looked at Batman with anger.

"Oh My God.."

He knew then and there......that he might've been right after all.

But,he didnt want to jump to conclusions.

At the same time.....he HAD to know.

He took out a batarang,and sent it flying,making it land between Batman and Tim.

He dropped down on the opposite side of Tim,and took out two more batarangs.

"Tim...I dont want to hurt you...."

He didnt want to hurt him.....but if it became nessacary.....he wasnt going to hold back.

OOC:RTB knows about all of this,right?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC:RTB knows about all of this,right?

OOC: Knows about it? He suggested it!

 

[Batman]

OOCh....














Am I the only one who didnt know that?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOCh....














Am I the only one who didnt know that?

OOC: We only told Batn so he won't be pissed about RTB's disapearence.

 

[Batman]

OOCkay....that makes me feel less stupid.

Now......where the hell is RTB?

 

[Supergirl]

Kara is busy patrolling a different area of Gotham when she gets Oracle's message.
"On it, 'O' Be there in a flash"
Maybe this will give me a chance to talk to Kal, too.
When she gets there Tim has already taken off his helmet, and she hears him openly call Kal, Clark.
"Boyo, red just isn't your color! You definitely need the green to go with it. It brings out your eyes."

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: WOW...you guys got me on that one...even when I suspected a few posts back, I didn't buy it as real. And now it is. WOW. I'm also happy that Ferret left Joker...it's best for Bruce to handle that loon. And Spike making Harley preggers is ingenious. Looks like I need to kick it up a notch in my CB posts...heheh. Thanks for the good reading people!!!!

 

[Twitch]

OCC: I'm back

IC:Red Hood

Hmmm......I bent down and inspected the batarang the only thing standing between me and The Batman. I picked it up and felt its flat textures.

"You know Dick I know how to throw one of these...

With a slight flick of a wrist it attached to the wall a couple millicentimeters from his head.

just as easliy."

I turned back to Bruce

"The clock is ticking Bruce until this kingdom of yours becomes a hellhole once more."

I slipped into the shadows just like Batman did so many times.

"Until next time."

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Senator Keating welcomed Lex into his office. the 2 men shook hands and Senator Keating offered Lex a drink. He accepted and said, "To new possibilites.' They drank and ~Keating said, "So Lex what brings you here to DC, you can't tell me that your pardon and trip here to D.C. are coincidence?"~

Lex smiled and said, "Donald you know me oh so well. You were one of my trusted allies in the party and in the legislature and I trust your council. Yes I have been considering something. What if I were to run again for the White House what do you think?"

~Keating nodded and said, "I thought that might have something to do with it." He pulls out a folder and lets Lex see it.

Lex looks it over and nods he then says, "Interesting...four different gallop polls show that over 55-63% of Americans would favor another run by me to the White House."

~Keating replies, "Indeed there are other members in our party who were ready to announce their candidacy, but they're holding to see what you will do. Now don't get me worng Pete Ross has been a good President. He is a faihful and wise steward of his office and so far he hasn't screwed anything up. The problem is though...your Presidency had an edge to it. It was alive, things got done, our standing in the world community was never stronger the other leaders looked at us with awe. Now we're just another country and no one seems to really be taking notice of us."~

Lex nodded and said, "I see, but what about Ross you know he is the incumbent to just unseat him would be a major undertaking to say the least."

~Keating relied, "Very true however there are more than enough people in the party and people with pull in our Government that wouldn't think twice of leaving Ross to twist in the wind if you entered the fray. The people would follow in droves if that happened. Pete Ross is a nice man, almost too nice many of us feel his Presidency lacks a certain bite that yours had. Just something for you to ponder."~

Lex said, "Oh don't worry I shall ponder this decision very deeply. I wonder how Ross would react to my taking back the White House?"

~Keating said, "Not well but he doesn't have enough politcal clout in the bank to really stop you. One thing is for sure he would never agree to be your Vice-President. Face it Lex with your recent works and probably more to come you are right now the hot ticket item. The public might be ready for you to return to the White House."~

Lex nodded and said, "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice Donald." Lex stood up and the 2 men shook hands again, "I'll be in touch soon. Now if you'll excuse me I have a couple of other Senators from our party to see."

~Keating smiled and said, "Ahh testing the waters all the way around. I'll be waitng for your call."

Lex nodded and left the office. He called Mercy on his cell phone and said, "Mercy how would you like to run Lexcorp once again. I am considering taking my old job back."

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: I knew Keating was evil. lol.

 

[SuperFerret]

He takes off the mask, and my world crumbles around me.

"The boy you knew is dead, I am it's successor."

No...no...it can't be...

"Tim?!"

OOC:

OOC: One thing I noticed, didn't Talia run Lexcorp while you were president, or was it Mercey in this RPG?

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: One thing I noticed, didn't Talia run Lexcorp while you were president, or was it Mercey in this RPG?

OOC: It was Talia, and thanks to her; there is no LexCorp. She liquidated it and sold most of it to... Wayne Enterprizes.

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Meh. Minor changes in the continuity between the comics and the RPG are just fine. Besides, in the comics, Pete Ross hasn't been Pres for a while now.

 

[Supergirl]

IC: It seems Tim hadn't heard Kara, so she decided to make the best of that as he disappeared into the shadows. She whispers into the communicator:
"I don't think he noticed me, and I can still see him. Do you want me to pursue, Batman?"

What would cause Tim to do this? What did he have to gain? Most important, how far is he willing to go?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Just to be safe, I'm going to put a disclaimer here: I do not condone the actions that will occur in this or the next few posts of mine.

IC:

I am numb. I know I should be feeling SOMETHING. After all, one of my own just betrayed us. But I can't feel ANYTHING...anything...

With legs that feel like they're thousends of miles away from me, I stumble over to where Dick is, I scan the Batarang that Tim...Red Hood...Tim...whomever threw at him. I take it out and stare at it as though I have never seen anything like it before. In a way, I haven't.

I look around me, everyone else is shocked as well, Clark, Dick, even throuh Kara's "tough-girl" exteriour I can see it. I...I don't know what I'm going to do. I just...I need to get AWAY.

I shoot out my jump-line and head back to the Batmobile. I know someone probably is going to go after me, but I don't care, I need to get out of here. I get to the Batmobile and I speed away back to the cave...

One of my own has commited teason, mutiny...it...it just hurts me so bad I can barely move, barely breathe, barely FEEL.

When I get back to the cave I realized that it was a mistake. As I walk back to the computer and take off my cape, cowl, and my gloves I'm invaded by the ghosts that inhabit this place.

I've failed. I have failed so immensely that I can't trust myself anymore. I've failed so bad that I don't think I even deserve to...live.

I notice the sharp-edged batarang clentched in my hands, causing them to bleed and making me feel something, and something clicks.

I don't deserve to live.

I take the batarang and I hold it to my throat. I can't live like this. So much pain is going through me that I can barely think. The only thing I can command my body to do is to slit my throat and get it over with.

I command so.

Every nerve ending's on fire. The pain is so immence that I drop to my knees and onto the ground. I notice the pool of blood dripping farther and farther away, as though life is slowly escaping from my pitiful shell. Everything starts to go black and I think that this is it. I think that until I notice I'm still here, and that there's another figure standing near me, in a dark black cloak and completely white body. I think of him as Death until I realize I personally reconize the man and my guess was close.

"Hello, Bruce. I have said I would visit you sometime, I just wish it wasn't like this."

The Spectre.

 

[Phantasm]

OOC:WHAT?!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!

You CAN'T KILL BATMAN!!!!!!!!!

awesome post by the way...It was heartfelt and beautifully tragic.

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: Bruce attempting suicide? My suspension of disbelief just broke. Bruce? NEVER!!! But, the Spectre is around, so of course I'll keep reading. heh.

 

[Phantasm]

OOC:JRK is the KING of Rping!!

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Yeah, Bruce has never really been suicidal before, but then again, none of his family has betrayed them like that before. And Bats isn't dead yet. Thanks Phantasm for the lovely comment, now my ego's swelling like an egg. Also, FYI, since there's no other version that's possible, this is the original Jim Corrigan version.

IC:

"Am I...dead?"

"Not yet. I've temperary placed us in an alternate deminsion so that we can talk. You won't die for a while, because if you die now, I might be out of a job, if you get what I mean."

"Are you here to talk me out of this? Because if you are, you're probably too late." I get the courage and fumble around the wound, I can actually put my finger into the wound, though I won't, less chance of infection. Ironic, I become suicidal yet I'm still worried of my health.

"Not really. There is someone here that wants to talk you out, I just arranged the meeting. I bet you know who she is."

The Spectre turns and I see who it is...and for the second time that night I'm shocked.

"Hello, Bruce. It's good to see you again, but like Mr. Corrigan said, just not like this."

Martha Wayne. My mother.

"Now, will you explain to me just what you are doing?"

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: DarkKnightJRK, get Priest back in here... I need to talk to J'onn...

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: DarkKnightJRK, get Priest back in here... I need to talk to J'onn...

OOC: Priest just recently PMed me saying that's he's going to stick with Marvel. Probably the best thing to do now is to handle him as a NPC.
