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

[DarkKnightJRK]

Leslie Thomkins was surprised, to say the least, when she saw me heading towards her with a wounded woman in his arms.

"Jesus! What happened to her?" She asked, looking over her wound as I put her on one of the beds.

"The Joker. He shot her in the stomech."

"OH MY GOD!" She must have noticed the baby inside of her. "He killed the child!"

"That was because it was his child," I say. She looks towards me and the unheard words were of 'What?' was evident. "This is Harleen Quinnzel, known as Harley Quinn."

"Jesus, I have to prep her for surgery, get the baby out, she'll need a blood transfusion...Arkham should know her blood type..."

"Speaking of which, I have to go. I have to deliver Joker there. ...He knows who I am now."

"What?!"

"He invaded me in my own home."

"Jesus...at least no one will believe him if he said it, he's too crazy for officials to belive."

"Unfortunately, now he'll go after everyone I know...you--"

"Don't worry about me, Bruce. I may be old, but I can defend myself, that clown gets near me and I won't hesitate to stop him...wow, you must be rubbing off on me."

I can't help but smirk at that.

"You say it like it's a bad thing."

"Well, as much as I'm enjoying the banter--it's rare that I expierence it with someone besides Alfred, espically YOU--but I have to get Harley into surgery--"

I'm gone by then.

"...Next time he comes by I'm asking him how he can do that..."

-------------

I drive to the front lawn of Arkham Asylum. I open the door to the Joker's side and I toss him out and he lands with an uncerimonious thump. I drag him to the lobby of the office, scaring the woman at the desk damn near out of her mind. I drop him near the desk.

"Special delivery," I say in my Batman voice, making the quip sound so dry fire can ignite it like kerosene. She fumbles the phone and calls officials about my arrival with my Joker parcel.

In a few minutes three beefy guards quickly place him in the straight-jacket and starts to drag him away. I walk out without a word.

As I get into the Batmobile, I hear a strange voice in my mind: J'onn's.

~Justice League! Reconvene at the Watchtower as soon as possible. Thank you.~

Might as well. If there's something big going on, I'll need to be there. Not to mention...I can get away from the demons getting at me here in Gotham...

I stepped into the dimly lit room. Routh was sitting around a table playing poker with his guys.

"Hehe." Routh put down a full house. The rest of the sleezy looking gansters put their cards down hard.

"Congrats I clap for you."

"Who in the bloody hell are you?"

"Who me I'm just the next generation of criminal."

I took a chair by the table and leaned back.

"How would it feel to be a big shot again?"

"I'm listening."

"I have a plan that if it succends it will affect everyone to Gotham to Africa....hell it might bring in the JLA."

I took a breath and looked at his face.

"Are you in?"

"You got yourself a deal."

"Perfect I will return in exactly two days............. be ready."

I walked out of the club smiling.

"Pharse One is complete."

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Hey RTB, I'm not a God?

 

[Twitch]

OCC: sorry man but you gotta have 20,000 posts to become a god

Don't ban me.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Oh, ok, I didn't know... all I need to do is to get in the Hype's Inner Circle... i just don't get no repsect...

 

[Supergirl]

Kara takes about twenty minutes of leisurely flight to reach San Fransisco.
Hmm the lights are on. They aren't out saving the world? Slow weekend.
She flies through the window to her younger cousin's room. "Kon! You here? KON?"
Downstairs she hears Kid Flash. "You are going down, punk! If it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna make sure you're in traction!" Followed by a loud crash.
Crap, what the hell did I wander into? She flew down the stairs, to find...

Kid Flash holding down Beast Boy, flicking his ears at superspeed.
"I spent 18 hours getting that far in Knights of the Old Republic, and you erase my game for a freaking DOA: Beach Volleyball save?!?!? Do you have any idea how long 18 hours seems to me?!??"
"I ow ow ow sa ow id ow I'm ow ow sor ow ry ow ow"
Boys... "Bart get off him."
The two boys turn to the sound of the new voice behind them. Their jaws drop and Bart forgets about torturing Gar.
"I'm gonna stop now, because knowing that she wants me and not you is torture enough for you"
"You wish minute-man. Noone can resist a guy in green, just ask Miss Piggy"
Kara rolls her eyes. "You both wish. If I wanted this level of maturity I'd go back to pre-school. But its an improvement from the last time I was here. Don't think I didn't notice the green water bug in the shower Gar."
Bart cracks up and points at Gar, "How desperate are you, man?"
"Or the breeze in the windowless bathroom at the same time, Bart." At this Bart's smirk disappears, and his face turns red.
"You were saying?
"Anyway, since Kon isn't around I'm gonna go see what Cassie's doing."
"I don't think..."
Before Gar even starts his sentence Kara is opening Cassie's door.
She sees Cassie and Kon, in the midst of a heated make out session.
"Geezus you two! Get a room!"
They both look up in shock and Conner begins to stammer. "umm uhh technically um we uhh did get a room... didn't we?"
"Kara, did you ever hear of, uh maybe knocking? We were kinda in the middle of something..."
"Don't tell Wonder Woman... Pleaaaase? I'll do anything..."
She closes the door behind her and goes back downstairs to Bart and Gar, who were now in the midst of a heated Volleyball game on the X-Box. Well kinda...
"My team is SOOO hotter than yours!"
"No way! I got the hottest chicks in the game!"
"AHEM! Why didn't you tell me those two were going at it?"
"I tried, but you were already barging in on the love birds."
"Whatever, shouldn't you guys be out saving San Fran right now?"
"We're just waiting for Tim and Mia to get here. We like to have everyone."
Oh crap, Tim... the reason I came here was to get away from that problem. They have the right to know about it, but do I have the right to tell them?

...To Be Continued...

 

[Batman]

His vision was blurry.....for a moment.

Nightwing awoke from his slumber,completely unaware as to how he got where he was.

He looked around,and found himself on a table,with his hands and feet shackled to it.

He looked around the darkened room,and although it was almost pitch black.......he wasnt alone.

"Wh....Who...?"

Ten ninjas stepped out of the shadows,all carrying swords,and pointing them at Nightwings throat.

"Stop."

Nightwing recognised that voice.As he tried to put together the identity,a figure stepped in front of the ninjas.....revealing himself before Nightwing had the chance.

"Ubu?!?"

Ubu smiled.He loved the sense of fear in Nightwings tone.The ninjas recoiled.

"Hello,Nightwing.Or,should we call you......Robin?"

Nightwing was stunned.Not alot of people made that connection......and yet,somehow....Ubu did?

What the hell was going on?

"Your Behind This?"

"As much as I would love to give myself the honor of this.....I must admit....the honor is his."

Ubu indicates a figure in the darkness.Nightwing cant tell who it is.

"So.....The League Of Shadows is still in operation,even after your master died?"

"Oh...But I disagree.His master is very much alive......"

The figure stepped out of the darkness.

"...Detective."

Nightwings eyes widened.It was like he was looking at a ghost.

".....Ra's Al Ghul?!"

Nightwing frowned.

"I should've known you wouldn't stay dead."

Ra's smiled.

"Theatricality and deception were always.....specialties.....of mine."







OOC:Yes,I know Ra's only calls Batman "Detective"......but wait until my next post.It'll be explained.

And dont try to interfere.You can take note of my absence,and even worry about me..........but my location is hidden from everyone else.

And for those still wondering,YES,Ras Al Ghul was the mystery character I was planning to bring back.In honor of Batman Begins....which is coming up in a month....I thought it was nessacary.

And bat,even though Ra's is considered "immortal",he can still be defeated,so I dont think bringing him in breaks any rules.

 

[Twitch]

OCC: Everybody is welcome to my dance floor

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Well, technically Ra's Al Ghul was alive in Nyssa, but whatever, it is an RPG, eh?

IC:

I drive back to the cave. I'll need to get one of the Batboats to get to the Watchtower.

I reach the cave and I notice something different in the Batcomputer. According to it's read-outs, there's something that just came up...

I hack into a satalite's camera and I see it. It looks suspiciously like one of our previous Watchtowers...But who could build something like that without anyone else's knowledge?

Hal Jordon.

I go to my holding bay and I go to a special one--one I have just recently finished. A new version of the Batplane, but with special afterburners, it can allow me to reach outer space. I think it's about time for a test drive.

In a few moments I fly out of the cave and into the world, and out of the world, and into outer space, and out of outer space and into this new Watchtower...

 

[SuperFerret]

OCC: Everybody is welcome to my dance floor

OOC: No thanks, I've got enough on my plate as it is. What with a new angle on Clark's character development (which I haven't started yet, but it'll be good, I promise), and being requested for numerous storylines, including a Supergirl character arc, a Darkseid arc, and a couple of stories I can't talk about, I'll be booked until Season III. And I'm joining the frickin' Justice League.

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: Don't worry bout mine Ferret, it won't take long and it can wait. I've got plans for the Titans at the moment, and may get myself into replacing Robin on the team

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: BTW, Ferret I don't plan on doing anything major with what we were planning until perhaps Friday.

 

[batnkevlar]

*Hal notices a dark shuttle try to dock, and opens up the Watchtower's docking bay in order for the Dark Knight to land*

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I land the Batship into the hanger. I step out and I see Hal standing close to it.

"What are you doing here, Hal? I thought you had quit the Justice League."

 

[batnkevlar]

"I'm back Bruce. I've realized my mistakes. I've realized why people look up to us as heroes. The world needs a League, Bruce, The world needs Justice..."

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"I'm back Bruce. I've realized my mistakes. I've realized why people look up to us as heroes. The world needs a League, Bruce, The world needs Justice..."

"I don't believe you...yet. I'll work alongside you, but know I have my eyes on you... Anyway, what's going on? Why was the Justice League called?"

 

[batnkevlar]

"I don't believe you...yet. I'll work alongside you, but know I have my eyes on you... Anyway, what's going on? Why was the Justice League called?"

"Well, J'onn called you for me. Anyway, there's no urgent emergency, but I thought it would be nice to get the League together. If we set this back up, it would benefit a lot of us, not to mention the world."

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Well, J'onn called you for me. Anyway, there's no urgent emergency, but I thought it would be nice to get the League together. If we set this back up, it would benefit a lot of us, not to mention the world."

This is a man who betrayed us all. He used one of our enemies to effective destroy the mind of another. He does not deserve to be among us. Yet...he does sound sincere. I'll watch him closely until I can trust him again.

"Fine. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to head back to Gotham. If you need me, you will know how to reach me, the computer will be trasmitted with the signal to reach my headquarters."

I head back to the Batship and blast back to Earth.

 

[Batman]

OOC: Well, technically Ra's Al Ghul was alive in Nyssa, but whatever, it is an RPG, eh?

OOC:

What?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC:

What?

OOC: A little while back there was a mini-series called Death and the Maidens, which was supposed to be the last Ra's Al Ghul story. It was revealed that he had another daughter before Talia by the name of Nyssa. By the end, Nyssa killed Ra's and became the new Demon's Head.

 

[rigel7soldiers]

3:24 A.M., Opal City

Dr. Mid-Nite(thinking): Opal City. You might call it a revolving door of heroes, most of them Starmen. Hell, even Charles McNider was Starman once. Now, it's just the Condor and me. And the Shade, sorta, but that's not important right now. I never really thought about it, but Dr. Mid-Nite is one hell of a resposibility. He's the very archetype of the dark avenger. I'm not just representing Mid-Nite, I represent every imitator, even Batman. I hope I never screw up.

OOC:I never got around to reading that.....

Thanks for the info.

 

[Phantasm]

"Well, keep safe. I'm going to get some sleep. I have a Lead to follow in a few hours." She turned the comm of and lay it on the bedside table.

I turn my gaze back to the blaring screen. Yes, there really was no point in telling Dinah...she already had enough on her plate at the moment. Sighing with apprehension I type out the instructions to see what Dick was doing all the while contemplating about asking him about Tim. He'd be naturally much more easier to talk to than Bruce...

I press my glasses further up my nose and my eye brows furrow at the display before me;there is no tracer indicating his presence in Gotham. Before panic settles in I refresh the instruction and still...zilch.

Nothing.

Not a trace of him. It's like he...vanished.

I must be in a dire state tonight because instead of searching about with all my resources I simply resort to calling Batman. "Batman, where is Dick?!I can't find him on the display map."

 

[Batman]

Nightwing was confused,as Ra's had been believed to be dead....in a way.

"What became of Nyssa?"

Ra's looked at Nightwing,almost like he didnt want to discuss the matter.

"She was....taken care of."

Nightwings eyes widened a bit......realising what he meant by that.

"You killed her?"

"I did what was nessacary.She was an umproper leader to my throne.That,and she killed me.I dont take that lightly,Detective."

"But....You WANTED Her to kill you."

Ra's smiles.

"I had a change of heart."

Nightwing was just plain stunned.Ra's killed his own daughter because of something he wanted her to do?!?!?

To put it bluntly.......What the f**k was he thinking?!?!

Clearly Ra's was even more evil than before.

"Your a monster..."

"You seem shocked by that,Detective."

Nightwing noticed Ras kept calling him "Detective",like he did Batman.

"Why do you keep calling me that?"

Ra's smiles......evilly.

"Because I have outgrown calling your mentor by that name.He refused my offer,and because of this,I have lost my respect for him."

"That never stopped you before."

"No....But that was because I never realised,until now,that there was possibly more deserving candidates."

Nightwing raised an eyeborw.This wasnt like him.

"More Deserving Candidates?You do realise your talking about BATMAN here...right?"

Ra's frowned once he heard the name of "Batman".

"No need for casualties.......I have knowledge of your mentors true identity,after all."

It was becoming increasingly obvious that Ra's really didnt have any respect for Batman,which was odd,because up until now.......Batman was the only one worthy of his empire,to him anyway.

"Where am I?"

"You are precisely 12,000 miles away from Gotham City."

Nightwings eyes widened.

"...How long have I been out?"

"For Roughly five hours,now."

"And How did I get here?"

"You were transported to me by a private jet,courtesty of LexCorp."

Nightwing then remembered Ra's ties to LexCorp.But what the hell did Ras want with him,of all people?

"What do you want with me?"

Ra's turned around.

"You shall find out soon enough.In the meantime,enjoy your stay,Detective."

A light shined through the darkness,indicating a door being open.Ras,Ubu,and th ninjas stepped out,leaving Nightwing in the darkness.


Nightwing knew only one thing.........He didnt like being called "Detective".

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: I think you misinterpeted the Nyssa situation. In the story, Ra's down-right wanted her to kill him, so that she could finally see his side of views and what not. I highly recommend you to read it, it's a very good story.
