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

[Savage]

Can't help but be excited to hear Robin's heading our way. Not only because we need more hands but what can I say? I like the kid. He's like Batman but with...you know, a personality.
"Tim's coming up here? That's awesome!"

"Great news. We need all the help we can get."

 

[Twitch]

"Alright, get to the control room, we could use an extra pair of hands. I'll tell you what happened when you get here."

OCC:I'll be back at 5:30 pm

 

[Charlie No-One]

The Scarecrow picked up his jewel and disappeared to Keystone. The city was falling apart. Something little started to pop into Scarecrow’s head. No, not Scarecrow’s, Dr. Jonathan Crane’s. This little thing was his conscience. No, what is going on? Why am I doing this? This is wrong. That would be the last of his conscience leaving his brain. His rapidly consuming insanity took over. Walking forward, he began chopping people into bits. Two giant spiders came towards the Scarecrow.



“Aid the Rogues,” he said to the arachnids. They crawled off. Raising the Scythe of Alton Devire into the air, it began to generate green energy from the blade to the staff. The emerald blast lifted into the sky and wiped out 3 blocks full of people. What is this thing? The doctor looked over it carefully. A smile crawled across his face.



“LET MY PRESENCE BE KNOWN! I AM THE MASTER OF FEAR!”

 

[batnkevlar]

"Look!"

I show him some of the security footage from City Hall where the mayor must have activated the beacon. He's getting his head slammed against a desk by a frickin 10 foot goblin while his bodyguard is on his back having his guts rumaged through by a demented clown.

"What...the...hell?"

"Exactly what I said."

"Is it the same all over the city?"

"From the footage we've been able to scrounge up, that's a definate yes!"

This is when he turns around to the rest of people in the room. This is where he does his hero thing.

"Alright team, we're not sure what we're up against here but we don't have time to waste. These people are in immediate danger and they need our help. Now we do not have too many people in fighting condition so we will have to make due. Question and Constantine will stay here with Bruce and Barbara to continue figuring out a way to stop Mordru and the Deadly Alliance. Flash: You take the westside. Hal: You take downtown. Canary takes the eastside and I take uptown. If you can manage, get as much help as you can. And be alert people. We are dealling with the likes of Mordru, Deathstroke, and Black Adam here. Nothing is what it seems."

"Since Junior Bats wants to go out so badly, I want to stay and give Nightwing the downtown."

 

[The Question]

"Jordan, are you sure you have no way of contacting the Spectre?"

 

[Twitch]

"Roger that."

I stepped into the lift and shot myself up to the comm room. The door slid open
and I stared at Bruce.......in a wheelchair?

"Tell me everything."

OCC: Robin's going to be so pissed

 

[Savage]

"Since Junior Bats wants to go out so badly, I want to stay and give Nightwing the downtown."

"Hal, you would be a much bigger help down on earth. We need as many capable hands as we can get on this thing and yours are potentially the biggest. The only people staying up here are Batman, Oracle, Question, and Constantine, and that's because they still have to work on ways to defeat the Deadly Alliance as well as support us from here."

IC:

Dinah clenched her hands and leaned against the control panel waiting.

"Come an' get your trollop." came a thick English accent.
That was all the message was except from a steady distress beacon coming from Las Vegas.

“MIA!”

She watched as Bruce moved the satellite over Las Vegas and zoomed in on Mia, as the picture because clear Dinah gasped.
Mia lay naked on the ground.
“No...No..Not Mia..no.” Emotions washed over her as she pushed a button making the screen go blank.
No one should see her that way.
Roy, Lian, Connor, and..something worse.
That had been her once, and it had robbed her of everything, her meta power, her ability to have children and she had been so much older than Mia was.

"I don't see anyone else there. We'll send a team on one of the Javelins to bring them here.”

Dinah turned to leave.

“ Dinah. No.” She swung around and look at Bruce.

“Why?”

“You’re too close to this. Wait here and…”

“Damn it Bruce! We’re all close to it. That’s Mia down there, and I am not losing her. I’m…”

She clenched her jaw as tears rolled down her stern face,
“I know what it’s like, what they did to her, and I can’t...”

Dick grabbed her arm, trying to say something before she swore and yanked it away walking for the door.

“Dinah, it’s an order. Stay here.”

She swung around defiance in her eyes, she felt like she was arguing with her mother again. An urge to scream crept through her throat.
She’d seen metas burst into flames and looking at her everyone in the room got the feeling that if she could have she would.
Her blue eyes glared at Bruce never wavering, even as Wally flashed back.

"JESUS F**KING MARY AND JOSEPH! I want a crate load of what you're smoking!"

She turned and glared at the man with Wally, receiving a steady gaze back.

"You two got here just in time. Batman was just sending a team to rescue Green Arrow's kid. You two should probably come with us." Question said.

"KAL! KAL!"
Kara’s voice echoed through the Watchtower hallways as Clark ran off to her.

“Just as I should be going after Mia.”
She turned her gaze back to Bruce hiding none of her anger, before walking over to the other side of the Control room and toying with the computer.

She was deep in thought as this ‘Constantine’ droned on in the background...

"Mate...Where's your f**king face?"

"Johny boy, this is not exactly--"
"I mean there's, there's--*waving hand in face*--nothing there. How do you f**king eat? Can you see me right now? *waving hand in Questions face chuckling slightly*"

Every time she closed her eyes she saw and felt it again.

"John."
"Unbe-f**king-lievable."
"Constantine!"

It had been painful, but the fear and trapped feeling of being helpless had covered it, veiled it as physical pain, not the kind that lasted for years.
She’d had Ollie then, to hold her at night and whisper that everything was alright.


"WHAT?! The bloke has no f**king face! Bloody f**king Elephant man!"
"This is not the place or time to be joking around. We've got serious business here and lives are at stake."

How could she do that for Mia when nothing was alright?

"...Fine...Fine...Where can I get a pint around this bloody fortress anyway?"
"We're here for ya. What happened to Connor and Mia? You guys found them?!"

"Shade left Mia in Las Vegas and sent a message for us to get her. Conner is dead."


"*sighs*...hmm...Well at least Mia is okay. Let's go. You too Constantine."

"Can't I get a drink in me first?"

"No."

"I should have stayed back in the bar."

She watched as they walked out of the control tower and to the Javelin.
She’d glance at Bruce now and then, busy with Babs running something on the computer.

Standing she walked to the lower level of the control room.
“ What is taking them so long?”
Out of sight from Bruce, Babs, Dick and Pieter, she ran through a series of Martial Drills she’d learned long ago.
She’d have sequestered herself away to punch some bags, if she hadn’t wanted to stray from the control room.
Looking at her watch 10 mins. They should have gotten there by now. And nothing on the comm yet.

"*sighs*...hmm...Well at least Mia is okay…”

She thought back to what Wally had said.

“Like hell she is.” She thought punching the air

She supposed Bruce had just told Ollie over the Comm because she could hear Ollie’s angry shouts and swearing from here, as well as Bruce’s level tone.


She heard the Javelin docking codes and ran up behind Bab’s and Bruce, before running down the hallway to the infirmary, passing Question, Wally, and The Question on her way down.

Reaching the Med Bay she checked the clipboard for Mia’s room and walked down the hall.
Passing the room Kara was in Dinah saw the back of a red cape bent over the bed. She continued walking to the room Mia was in only to be stopped by a female Med.

Her comm. picking up what was being said in the Control Room, her mind absently putting names to the voices
"I think I might have a plan in regards to dealing with Mordru. Constantine, do you know of any rituals or something that would force a sorcerer to keep his word in a deal or bet?" Question

“I’m sorry, I can’t allow you in here.”

Dinah looked at the med standing at the door.

"...Do I look like bloody f**king Merlin to you? I can't just magically pull out a spell from me arse...Incidentally I may have a spell or two that could get you your desired result." Constantine


“I’m sorry, I’m going in there whether you want me too or not.” Dinah said moving forward

The Med looked her up and down as though gauging her against the big guns, before making a barely discernable movement which brought a much larger male Med over.

"Fine. Start working on that. We may not be able to fight Mordru, but I might be able to trick him into defeating himself. Batman, start prepping the javelins. I think it's about time we start taking the offensive." Question

Crossing his arms he stood in front of Dinah.

“We’re making sure she gets the best of care, there is no need..”

Dinah glared up at him.

"What is this,a f**king topsey turvey land?" Constantine
"Oh...this?Well...uh....You see,its really..." Dick
"Yeah,Yeah.....save it,I aint got time for your bloody f**king life story,okay?" Constantine

“Let me in to see her”

"So...what are we planning to do next?All we've done so far is apparently wait around until they get to us, one by one."

“I can’t do that. I know you’re worried about her but she’s okay. We’ve fixed most of her wounds and now we’re checking her for other….complications that could have arisen. But I can’t let you in.” He held out his arm as if to take her shoulder and lead her out.

 

[The Question]

Something's wrong. Wait a minute. Jordan....


"Hal, why are you wearing your parallax armor?"

 

[twylight]

"My plan is to, with Constintine's help, challenge Mordru to a game of wits through an ancient mystical ritual in which he would be forced to keep up his end of the bargain. If I win, he surrenders. If he wins, we all die horribly." Question

"No.I think it is best if we don't have all of the JL dead by the time this whole ordeal is over." Babs

“Wrong answer.” She said stepping forward, twisting his arm and pinning it behind his back.


"Um....theres just one problem. If he'll be forced to keep his end of the bargain,that means he'll have to kill us horribly,if He wins.What're the odds of you winning this?"

Another male med charged down the hall at her. Spinning the first around she kicked the second in the stomach, while banging the firsts head into the wall.

“So I wasn’t Wonder Woman and you thought you could take me.”
She said as they sunk to the ground.
She turned seeing about 4 meds running down the hall either towards her or their companions.

"We can't beat him physically. Our best bet is to try and outsmart him. I'm pretty much certain I can. And Constantine is certain Mordru would keep his word." Question

"Us magic types, we got ourselves a bit of an honor code. What me and ol' no face over here are gonna use is the Challenge o' Merlin. Any self respectin' sorcerer would rather die than go back on his word with this. 'Sides, he wouldn't be forced to kill us. It's just that me an' ol' no face wouldn't be able to stop him if he tried. As if we could." Constantine


She smiled, as she watched the Meds come towards her. Dick got his butt handed too him.


"And again.....What if HES the one who wins?Does that basically mean we're dead,no matter what? Cause.....no offense....but that doesnt seem like a very good plan.At least now,We dont know if we're going to die horribly......but if Mordru wins,we'll basically be forced to die a horrible death.Call me old fashioned,but If Im gonna die.....I'd rather do it the best way possible....and horribly doesnt fit that category." Dick

"You got a f**king better idea,Bat-wannabe?" Constantine

"...No." Dick

"Alrighty,then." Constantine


The Meds reached her.

“Ma’am, please.” One said as the others checked their co-workers “There is no need for violence.”

“Then let me see her.”

“The Doc..”

He was cut off by a quick punch in the jaw by Dinah, catching his shirt she caught his fall and then dropped him on the ground. Startling the other Meds.

“I’m going in to see her.” She turned just as a green arrow brushed by her cheek and hit a doctor standing behind her.
Catching the Doctors fall from the arrow Dinah noticed a syringe and needle open and ready to use in his hand.

“Let the Lady in.”followed a stern voice. Dinah turned to see Ollie standing there. He nodded.

Taking the needle cover from the unconscious doctors pocket Dinah placed it on the needle and tossed it to a nearby Med before walking into the room.


"Is this all we have!? What does everyone have to say about this? Me...I'm not sure I'm up to this, haven't we had enough deaths already!?" Babs

"Mordru is practically a livening god. Without Fate, we'd be dead anyway. At least this way we have a chance." Question

"Are we ready to kick the DA's collective asses?" Hal..?

“Hal’s back…”

Walking in she glanced at the Med’s in the corner of the room. Glaring at them they quickly left, she watched them scurry out catching a glimpse of Forest Green fabric.

“Mia?”

Walking in she glanced at the Med’s in the corner of the room. Glaring at them they quickly left, she watched them scurry out catching a glimpse of Forest Green fabric.

She walked towards the bed catching herself on it as a tremor shook the Watchtower. She only figured that by the nearness of the noise it was Kara.
Sitting on the edge of the bed she said softly
“Mia?”

“Dinah?” Came a tremulous voice. Dinah brushed aside Mia’s blonde hair not saying anything, waiting.
“Dinah..” that’s when the tears started. Leaning over Dinah slid onto the bed next to Mia and held her as she cried.

“It hurt so bad….Connor…..shadows…...I couldn’t…..I couldn’t do anything” Mia tried to say between sobs.

“Shhh..shhh…” Dinah said waiting for the tears to abate.
Mia gasped as she calmed down, trying to catch air.
“How..are they going to look at me now? The Titans. How is anybody..going to..see me?”

“Their going to see their friend, and everybody else is going to see a beautiful blonde girl with loads of confidence.” She replied smoothing Mia’s hair. “Their going to see Speedy.”

The room went quiet.

“Dinah..Connor’s...Roy and Lian…”Mia cried

Dinah closed her eyes as tears came.

“It’s going to be, okay.”

She came out half an hour later. The Meds and Doctor nowhere to be seen, the hallway totally empty and Ollie was leaning against the wall with his hat low over his face.
He looked at her, and she gave him a weak smile.
“ She’s sleeping now, and will be physically okay. Mentally…..” Her voice trailed as he pushed off from the wall and stood in front of her. She glanced down brushing tears away.

“And you?” She looked up at him, her blue eyes rimmed with tears.
Reaching out he enfolded her in his arms.

“Ollie, I..

“Shhh.. Pretty Bird, it’s alright”
She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his shoulder crying.


OOC: Some editorial freedom's were taken..Like Dinah's rape...the Writer says she never was but most people view it as that so for the sake of a good story. ...

 

[Harlekin]

OOC: Woohoo! Twy, kick his ass!

 

[batnkevlar]

Something's wrong. Wait a minute. Jordan....


"Hal, why are you wearing your parallax armor?"

"Parallax armor? Is that what this is? I just figured it was time for a change. I've discovered a new source of power for my ring, much like when Rayner became Ion. A darker suit for darker times, I say. Best be careful who has your back, Sage, or there won't be a back to watch."

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I phase myself out of the conversation. It's not like I have any ideas. As much as I hate to admit it, this is way out of my league. How can I stop Mordu? Espically with one of my legs not working? The most I can to is just wheel out of the way if he stampedes through here.

I'm useless.

I start to wheel myself out of the room, Barbara and Tim can handle the control room for a while, I need to think by myself for a while.

Will I be able to work the same after this? I will walk again, but will this new knee mess with my abilities? Agility? Flexibility?

My body is giving out on me. Slowly but surely. I'd kick it if any of my legs were able to.

There's been so much death, so much hurt, and all I can do is sit in this damn chair.

That reminds me...I haven't seen Dinah since we picked Mia up. She's probably hurting like crazy right now, espically since...

I wheel myself to the Medbay. She should be there. I'm not sure why I'm so worried, maybe if Dinah's that hurting...who knows what she might do.

I make it there and I see Dinah holding onto Ollie like a preserver lost in the ocean. I feel...unconfortable, wondering if it's because of a family member in pain or...something more. Finally, I find my voice.

"How is she?"

 

[Charlie No-One]

The Scarecrow watched his minions attack Keystone. He started walking down the busy streets.



“Dead bodies, crying mothers, dying heroes! What more could one ask for! I think I will go find the big bad Ba…,” The Scarecrow heard something in back of him. Quickly turning around, he saw a small boy looking for his mother. Two giant deformed men were surrounding him. One had a large head, the other had claws. The master of fear cut the mutants in half. “it’S oK! I wOn’t HuRt yOu,” said the insane figure. Instantly the child screamed and shouted. All the pity evaporated in the masked man; he cut the boy in half.



Dr. Jonathan Crane looked at his deed. What have I done? This isn’t what was supposed to happen. I was supposed to save him. What is becoming of me? Rage started to build up inside of the Scarecrow. Something powerful, some kind of beast was growing inside.



Green energy started flowing from the scythe.

"How is she?"

OOC: I just spent 2+ hours on these posts and I'm ONLY going to change it for you.. But I'm gonna bunny you a little.
Also sorry I bunnied you in that one post..had to find a suitable reason why Dinah didn't go.


IC:
Ollie held her till her crying stopped, and then kept her there.

"How is she?"

Dinah looked at Bruce who had wheeled down the Hallway, and sat there looking slightly uncomfortable.
She turned her head the other direction, not wanting to talk to anyone.

"She's okay."

Dinah watched Bruce nod and then wheel off. It wasn't like he hadn't lost somone.

Wiping her tears and moving away from Ollie, Dinah asked
“What’s going on?”

Ollie reached out to brush her tears away as he answered.

“Hal’s back, about damn time too. The Question and Some ‘Constantine’ guy are planning on challenging Mordru to a winner takes all, Mumbo Jumbo magic thing.”

Dinah nodded as Ollie walked down the hall with her.
“I heard that.”

“I think it’s a damn mistake. Making decisions like that without a vote.” He mumbled
“From what I heard over the comm. The Alliance attacked Keystone City, so Wally’s pretty worked up. And that hung up the plans for this ’magical dual.’ You’ve been slated to take the eastside of Keystone City, and you’re going with Nightwing. And apparently we’re joined by another little bird, though less attractive than you.”

“Robin.”
Dinah said brushing off his comment. Ollie nodded as they walked quickly through the Watchtower Halls.

Dinah turned her comm back on.

“Also their trying to get in touch with the Spectre.”
Dinah started, “The Spectre?” she hadn’t seen him since…..

"Parallax armor? Is that what this is? I just figured it was time for a change. I've discovered a new source of power for my ring, much like when Rayner became Ion. A darker suit for darker times, I say. Best be careful who has your back, Sage, or there won't be a back to watch."

Ollie talked over Hal’s voice.
“Apparently their looking for a JSA member..?”

“No, I’m not getting mixed up in this.”

“I hope not, I don’t like the idea of them sending ‘non-powered’ members down their against those guys. Especially without asking us about it.”

“Hurt about not being included on the roster?”
She chided

Ollie’s face went stern.
“You should be here for Mia.”

Dinah slowed her walk and looked at Ollie.
“I know, but if I’m not you should be.”

She sighed

“Why Keystone City? There isn’t anything there. At least nothing these guys want.
I don’t like this, I don’t like how it feel’s and I don’t like how it’s being handled.”

Ollie stepped aside for her to enter the Control Room and said softly “That make’s two of us….”

Dinah stepped into the room and surveyed Wally, Superman, Constantine, Dick, Robin, Bruce, Babs and a few others.

“….Against a dozen.” He finished.

 

[Harlekin]

"Daddy?" the Ravager spoke, decked out in full gear again as she came into the study room "I'd like to go with you and... ravage." As she spoke, Deathstroke turned towards her with hesitation, she had healed alright, but taking his daughter into the lion's den with him?

There was no greater chance of failure.
There was no greater chance of death.
It would be the perfect test.

"You'll have to ask the wizard." he said as he turned to Mordru, as did his daughter.

"Can I?"

 

[Savage]

"Roger that."

I stepped into the lift and shot myself up to the comm room. The door slid open
and I stared at Bruce.......in a wheelchair?

"Tell me everything."

OCC: Robin's going to be so pissed

"Tim! My Man!"
I give him a pound and put my arm around his neck and walk him towards the rest of the group. God, I have seen so much death around here, I'm excited to see anyone show up here in one piece.

"Okay here's how it went down little man: You know your old 'buddy' Deathstroke? Guy with half a mask, always gave you a hard time, hard-on for underage teens? Well he got together with a bunch of other bad dudes, calling themselves the Deadly Alliance. I don't mean some second rate shmucks like Captain Cold or Mirror Master or something. This is the big leageus here. We're talkin' Mordru, Shade, Scarecrow, and most importantly of all (and this came as a huge shock to all of us) Black Adam.

Your regular Ocean's Five and so far they've already done quite a number on us..."

I look down at my feet for a while. Bracing myself to tell him the bad news...It's never easy doing this.

"...They got into Titans Tower Tim...Most of you guys survived but...Speedy...Raven...they didn't make it...And to add to that, they got Connor too. Speedy, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Supergirl are in the infirmary. Luckily Superboy and Wonder Girl were out at the time though. They're over there.

Needless to say we've been getting our collective asses handed to us...We were dumb enough to underestimate them and overestimate our own power...And for that now Keystone City is in danger."


"Meaning we better get a move on." Superman intruded.
"Glad to see you made it Robin but we don't have time to lose. You're with Superboy and Wondergirl. You take midtown. Nightwing and Black Canary has the east side, Flash and Wonder Woman have the west side, I have up town, and Hal you still have downtown. I cannot make that any clearer and I do not speak twice. Now do you have any questions?"

He's right. We shouldn't waste a second.

 

[Phantasm]

ICracle

I turn around to face the others as Ollie and Dinah step in, " This is just in...There's more bad news. Keystone is being attacked by minions.The city is in total chaos at the moment."

 

[Savage]

We all turn around to see Canary and Green Arrow walk into the room.

"You made it. I was just briefing the group on our designated areas. I see you're looking better Ollie. Can you fight?"

 

[The Leaguer]

Skies above North-Eastern United States

Now.

Fernus streaks across the sky, making no effort at all to hide his fiery form. He revels in the fear his appearance causes in the people below, but he has no time to focus on them: it won't be long before the "heroes" catch on to his return, and he has preparations to make. Although his trip to Gotham refreshed him, he still isn't quite to the level of power he was before his "death." However, his next stop should put him over the top.

Reaching mid-Western United States airspace, Fernus telepathically probes his destination: Keystone City. What he finds surprises him. Apparently, someone has beaten him there. He flies faster.

Arriving over Keystone, Fernus is overjoyed at what he finds. Chaos. Terror. Suffering. Death. For most people, this would be Hell on Earth. For Fernus, this is Heaven. He dives down into the madness.

As Fernus wonders what is causing this destruction, he notices the gas burning around him as it comes in contact with his flame. He figures this gas must somehow be the cause. He doesn't really care. This is paradise. He lets himself give in to the fear and torment filling the city, breathing it in as if it were the fear gas itself.

Remembering his goal, Fernus snaps to his senses. He feels out, touching all the minds of Keystone, looking for the man he has come for. Finally he touches a mind obessesed with flame. There he is. Fernus takes off after him.

Coming in close, Fernus stops and finds Heatwave dying of asphyxiation. For a man utterly in love with fire, complete isolation from fire would be his personal Hell. The magical property of Scarecrow's fear gas makes that terror real, cutting off Heatwave from that which is most important to fire: oxygen. The rogue falls to his knees, gripping his throat, gasping for air that is not there.

Although the suffering in Heatwave's mind is wonderful, the lack of fire simply will not do. He reaches into Heatwave's mind and replaces the rogue's fear with a terror of the Fiery Martian himself. As the magical elimation of oxygen ceases and Heatwave struggles to catch his breath, he notices Fernus. He begins screaming and the magical property of the fear toxin reactivates. A half-dozen faux Fernuses sprout up out of his flame.

The true Fernus cannot help but feel raw joy. The fear he feels eminating from Heatwave is overpowering. Panicking, Heatwave sends waves of fire over his attackers in futile attempts at defense. As the flames of fear and suffering hit him, Fernus becomes nearly drunk with emotion. Although he loves the sensation, he knows it's time to end it. Taking one more blast of flame, Fernus charges and shreds Heatwave. As the magical Burning Martians fade away, Fernus feels a rush of power. At long last, he's back to his former level of power.

Fernus ascends and the skies above Keystone City explode with fire. Laughing, he looks back down over the city in chaos and revels in the fear of her people.

 

[twylight]

" This is just in...There's more bad news. Keystone is being attacked by minions.The city is in total chaos at the moment."

Dinah nodded, pointing to the comms.
"We heard"
She said.

"You made it. I was just briefing the group on our designated areas. I see you're looking better Ollie. Can you fight?"

Ollie looked at Dinah, and hesitated.
She knew how much he wanted to fight. Fight for Roy, fight for Connor, and fight for Mia and Lian.

"I can but I won't."
Ollie crossed his arms.
Dinah could see the exasperated faces around the room.
Ollie was known for his stubborness.

"He's staying here with Mia." Dinah interjected before he could shoot him mouth off.

"I'm staying because I think it's damn bad idea to send the whole JL to a city full of 'minions'. Makes you kind of wonder where their 'Masters' are."

Inwardly she sighed. Always the same, while she agreed with him, it wouldn't get them anywhere ruffling peoples feathers.

She looked around the room, pausing at Hal.
Parallax?

 

[Batman]

"I'm staying because I think it's damn bad idea to send the whole JL to a city full of 'minions'. Makes you kind of wonder where their 'Masters' are."

While Dick agreed with him,They had to do it.

"I agree with you,but......We need to do this.People are dying down there....and not just our people.Hundreds.....maybe thousands of innocents are being destroyed for reasons they dont know.We're the only ones that have a damn good chance of stopping them.I can understand you wanting to stay here........In fact,I think you should stay.But as much as I hate to admit it...........We're the only chance they have."Dick says,looking Ollie straight in the eye.

"Look,Im all for helping innocent lives,and smashing some bad guys face in..........but Im not.Why?One....You saw what happened to Mia.You cant tell me that I HAVE to go after that.And Two.....Im not letting myself get killed by a bunch of minions.I'd rather go out another way,so dont tell me what I HAVE to do,kid."

"Then stay here.We have enough people we need to get the job done as it is,So I have no problem with you staying.Its them Im worried about."Dick says,acknowledging the other heroes.

"Well fine,then....Im staying."

"Okay then."Dick says,acknowledging that.

He knew how Ollie felt......He had the same feelings around when Barbara was crippled by The Joker.

But Green Arrow or not.......SOMEONE had to save those people.

 

[batnkevlar]

"Wally! Why the hell are you still up here! Get the hell down to Keystone!"
