++++++ Okay so this is a little bit of fun I've been toying with for a while.
It will be a series of one shots centering around my DCverse OC's as their evil Earth-2 counterparts.
They will have different names and attitudes and some of them work for Zoom.
Anyway...I hope you enjoy this rabble.
I do not own ++++++
Once more unto the breach, dear friend

"Please! Please don't kill me! I have children!" It was at that moment that bank teller Nina O'Donnell breathed a sigh of relief as the gun was lowered. Now that the gun was out of her focus, she could finally see the woman that held her captive. Sure she, like the rest of the citizens in Central City had heard about her but up until now they'd never seen her before.
They called her Dark Spring. Her eyes flickered over to the bodies of the security guards lying on the floor, completely mummified. All the water and moisture had been sucked out of their bodies in seconds leaving dried out husks. It was clear to see, by the look in her eyes, why this woman was the right hand of Zoom. The act of flooding the entire downtown area and killing hundreds of people just to prove that she could had given the murderess that position. There was darkness and hate in those eyes…nothing in those eyes was kind…just dark.
Leaning in, her blue lips broke into a smirk before she planted a kiss on the side of the woman's face. "Word of warning, princess. I hate children." Pressing the gun back up against Nina's head, she pulled the trigger. Screams echoed out across the room as blood, bone and brain matter splattered across the room, painting the floor and whoever was in the way. "I should pay the husband and the children a visit. It's only comforting that I give them the same send-off I gave you, dear Nina."
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop playing with your food?" Dressed all in black leather, her partner, the infamous Lady Death sat on the counter cleaning her nails with a knife. "Although I must say, at least you follow through with the kill. Waste not, want not?"
Dark Spring bit her bottom lip. "Well that's no fun, my love. I love playing with my food." She spun around like she was dancing. Her ears twitched when she heard sirens in the distance. "The ever faithful Central City Police Department. Twelve minutes this time."
"They're getting faster," Lady Death pouted. She slipped her knife in the blood red boot she wore and leant forward on the counter, taking her time to apply the pitch black lipstick that gave the murderess her name. "Shall we give the Flash a show, my love?"
"Certainly," Dark Spring smirked. She stepped over the body of the bank teller, Nina and took a peak out the window. "Oh…we have an audience…my dear sister-in-law is here." Her pale blue eyes looked out across the empty street to the police constructing a barricade. In amongst the pathetic little ants, she could see
Lady Death smirked. "Brilliant. I do love an audience." Just as the words left her mouth, there was a red flash of lightning and in the middle of the room stood the Flash. The look on his face was enough to make her burst out laughing. "Oh he looks so serious Dark. Poor little darling."
Dark Spring grinned. She flicked a strand of her black hair over her shoulder and pressed her painted blue lips together. "Shall we dance, Flash?"
"Let the civilians go," the Flash warned her.
"Now why would I want to do that?" she inquired. "Especially since we're having so much fun. I mean Nina over there is just dead tired." She held out her hands and a black, sludge like substance wormed its way up her legs, past her hips and up her arms. She fired the projectiles at the Flash, missing him with one but getting him with the other, straight through his leg. "Funny thing about water…it slows everything down. Even the speedster."
Lady Death grabbed the duffle bag up off the floor and hoisted it over her shoulder. "Good thing Zoom wants this moron otherwise we'd be mildly annoyed." She blew him a kiss. "Bye, Jay. Kiss, kiss."
"Don't think about following us," Dark Spring warned him, "that little present in your leg will only spread. Once I'm far enough away, it will disappear." It was her turn to wave at him before the two women left via the back of the building…well more like sauntered.
There were three police officers outside waiting for them. Dark Spring was about to launch herself into action but Lady Death was faster. There was a woman who had no meta human abilities but was just bad to the core. She was an assassin who killed with poison lipstick that had seeped into every part of her body. The entire woman was literally poison to touch. There was one man who could touch her and their love was twisted and true.
Lady Death snapped out, grabbing the police officer and immediately snapping his neck. She kicked the second guard in the groin and grabbed him. "Shall we share a lover's kiss?" she whispered before leaning in to kiss him. Lady Death giggled as she dropped the body at her feet, thick, ugly black veins were extending away from the mouth of the police office. "Yet another who fails to survive my kiss."
"Now who's toying with her victims?" Dark Spring questioned, eyebrow raised. She smirked over at Detective West-Allen and waved. "Hello sister-in-law, dear. When's the next dinner?"
The detective answered by shooting at her. Iris had never liked her.
Dark Spring flung out her hand and a wall of solid, black water assembled in front of her partner. "Nobody, and I mean nobody, touches my friend." She advanced on Iris, flinging away any bullets that came her way, even letting a few phase through her body before she stopped in front of her.
The two women stared at each other for what seemed like a life time before Dark Spring hit Iris in the face. "Nobody touches my friend!" Iris hit the wall hard and Dark Spring kicked her whilst she was down. "Nobody touches my friend!"
"You hear that?" Lady Death asked, walking over the dead guards like speed humps. "Nobody touches me…I mean sure you didn't technically touch me but nobody touches me. Got it?" She flicked her hair out behind her head as they continued down the alley.
"Except if your name is Nightmare of course," Dark Spring added.
-XXX-
The two women returned to the private lair just over an hour later. It was their home away from home and the sole reason Dark Spring had killed hundreds of people a few months ago.
Once upon a time it had been a research facility that had its own submarine bay that Dark Spring utilized as her private lair. Lady Death had above and Dark Spring had below…such an unusual friendship it had been-the two having been introduced by Lady's psychotic father who had made his daughter a living weapon.
When they had arrived, there was an electrical charge to the air that told them one thing.
Zoom was there.
"You two try my patience," Zoom growled, observing the two women.
Lady Death tipped the bag upside down, dropping the money and jewels onto the mattress that they'd stolen. "Well then kill us. Or let us do our own thing. We cause no problems to you. Besides being bad is just…just so good."
"Well I'm sold," Dark Spring grinned. "You sure know how to sell the life, my seductive partner."
"I have a task for you both," Zoom spoke, "previous meta-human's I've sent through the breaches have failed me. It's your turn."
Dark Spring rang her tongue over her lips and grinned. "Finally, it's our turn."
"Don't fail me, I hold you in higher regard than those who have been sent through," Zoom warned.
Dark Spring walked over to him. "Since when have I ever failed you before?" she asked him. "Answer me truthfully, when have I ever failed you? Lover?"
Lady Death didn't have x-ray vision but she was a betting woman and she was betting that underneath the mask, the speedster was smiling-that's if he could smile. "If you two are going to get freaky, let me know. I'll go rob a bank or something."
"I'm curious, lover," Dark Spring frowned, biting her lip. "Why not send Killer Frost and Deathstorm?"
"Because you've never failed me before," Zoom warned her. "I may not be able to kill you or her…but fail me, Charlotte, and I will kill her lover."
Lady Death seized up at the mention of her only love, Nightmare. "We will not fail."
"I will hold you to that," Zoom growled. "I want the Flash. I want his speed force. Bring him to me. I will be the fastest man alive…the fastest man in all realities, in all worlds." The air around them cracked and he disappeared in a flash, the electrical feel in the air was gone making them able to breathe again.
"How on earth can you put up with him?" Lady Death hissed. "He gives me the creeps." The woman turned with the empty duffle and threw it on the bench. "The sooner we get this over with, the sooner I can come home and snuggle with my night mares."
Dark Spring rolled her eyes and pulled her hair back from her shoulders. "There is a breach not too far from here. Come on." Leaving their loot just lying out, the two women left. They never appeared to have a problem with their lair, it was too risky for CCPD to send men inside, losing police officers quicker than what they could replenish them.
The breach was located in a deserted hardware store just around the corner from their lair. Dark Spring and Lady Death had specifically chosen this place for the breach in the first place. It was small, inconspicuous and somewhere that could be snuck in through easily.
At first the breach was invisible, but Lady Death located it by throwing a knife through the air, not really caring if she hit anyone on the other side at all. "So what do we do?"
"Draw out the Flash and see what he has in store for us?" Dark Spring suggested. "We can plan from their and attack accordingly."
"Yes, my love," Lady Death grinned.
"Once more into the breach dear friend?" Dark Spring questioned.
Lady Death was the first to step through the breach. In the back of her mind, she was too determined to see what the Earth-1 version of her was like.
Dark Spring on the other had didn't care. The only problem was that once they had crossed, her vision was blurry. Blurry vision was bad. She clutched the wall carefully, using it to support herself as she tried to adjust to the scents and sounds around her. She could smell…Dark Spring could smell coffee…
"I smell coffee,' Lady Death sniffed.
Once the blurriness cleared, the two women found themselves standing in the middle of a busy plaza just out the front of a coffee shop. "I don't understand…I was under the impression that the breach was supposed to take us to the mirror or it on the other side."
"I don't do science," Lady Death answered, "I just kill people."
Dark Spring bit her lip but she didn't say anything. It certainly was confusing.
"So this is Earth-1?" Lady Death questioned, staring over the busy plaza.
"When did Jitterbugs become Jitters?" Dark Spring frowned, disgust dripping off her tongue.
"Hey, look!" Off to the side, a bunch of college students rushed over to the two women. "There some kind of dominatrix convention in town?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Lady Death asked. Leaning forward, she wrapped her hands around the collar of his shirt and kissed him. Minutes later, she stepped back as the student struggled for air, gasping…he dropped to the ground as thick black veins crept away from his lips. "The usual, my love?"
"Death," Dark Spring replied.
"Destruction," Lady Death grinned.
"Mayhem," she giggled.
"Chaos," she smirked.
"Click, click, boom," Dark Spring whispered, clicking her fingers. All along the street every manhole cover and fire hydrant exploded sky high. The water spilling out of the ground and pipelines took the form of a giant kitten on two legs.
"Glad to see someone has a sense of humour," Lady Death smirked. "This should get the attention of the Flash."
She was knocked to the ground in a flash of yellow lightning. "Ah, the Flash," Dark Spring smirked picking herself up. "My second one in a matter of hours. I'm beginning to think that I may have a problem."
"Don't tell me you're the good guy?" Lady Death groaned, pointing to the blue clad figure beside the Flash. "That's disgusting."
"Oh god," the woman spoke. "That's me. Flash, that's me."
"Focus, Pisces," the Flash warned her. "We've fought others like her. She is not you."
Dark Spring giggled. "I've always wanted the privilege of fighting myself." The giant water kitten took a swipe at Pisces, hitting her and flinging her across the street. "Oh…you may look like me…but you're no match for me."
The Flash came at Lady Death but she snapped out with her knife, stabbing him in the shoulder. "We're here for Zoom," she hissed in his ear before placing a kiss on his cheek. "Time to take the kid gloves off."
++++++ So you might have noticed the different names and guessed the identities:
Dark Spring is Charlotte Allen and yes she is Zoom's lover. He consider's her his equal because he can't kill her due to the fact she's basically water.
Lady Death is Suki Queen. She kills with poison lipstick that has seeped through her body thus making her entire body poison.
And Nightmare is her lover Nightwing. No he didn't make an appearance but he was mentioned.
I hope you like ++++++
