Legacies Best Forgotten II
By: Malaizjan De Jesus
Author's Note: A fellow author (Reina Grayson) and I have been bouncing each other's OCs in the Batman Beyond series. Now eventually, it'll lead up to the final story: An Apprentice's Future. This was originally slated for my "Future" Saga that housed many of my OCs originally before she breathed new life into them and I altered them for one of Reina's fics. Now they are in the Batman Beyond series and I like the shift. So here's the list of fics we both did in regards to Terry and his new friends/heroes.
Meeting Your Family, By Reina Grayson
Meeting Your Family 2, By Reina Grayson
Legacies Best Forgotten, By Reina Grayson
Meeting Your Family 3, By Reina Grayson
Batman's Crush, By me
Batman's Crush II, By me
Batman's Crush III, By me
And now Legacies Best Forgotten II, By me
And thanks to Reina Grayson for helping me get the beginning of this going. Rated T for torture. And Jason's mouth.
Chapter 1
Crime Alley, 'Old Gotham'
The darkness of the night was oppressive in this historical part of Gotham. No one normally dared to come here, with the moving shadows that could be the trick of light or Drow's Dark Matter powers…
The unexplained noise that shattered the silence of the night, it was almost too much for the young and inexperienced Yami as he stepped into one of the few fully intact warehouses in Crime Alley. The grandson of Poison Ivy moved the chains that lined the front door as he gently pressed on the said door to get in.
No noise.
Yami couldn't believe his luck. He had been in Juvenile Hall on the other side of town just weeks ago when a guy came to visit him. He didn't know who he was but he had a proposition for the 17 year old- he'd break him out if he joined him in taking over the earth.
Now Yami, he had his grandmother's plant abilities and he was just as brilliant a chemist as she had been. But he didn't have green skin or leaves growing from him. No, he looked completely normal. Until he transformed into his alter ego. Then he looked just like Grandma Pamela.
He agreed and now he was here. To meet up with them.
Yami came to a room with a light in it. And he smiled when he saw his benefactor there, waiting on him.
"Ah, Yami. I'm glad you made it. Sit and meet the rest of the team." Ian Montgomery grinned as the kid eagerly sat in the lone open chair. Ian was best known as Time Stalker, a villain from Bludhaven. And a hated enemy of Nightwing I and his family.
Ian was the grandson to Deathstroke's final apprentice before he went to prison the first time for the death of Marik Greyson, the son of Dick and Serenity Greyson and Mathen's twin brother. He found his grandfather's journal and used it to reinvent himself into an assassin-like villain. He was good at torture and explosions and making all sorts of weapons. His taser-bullets were becoming a hit with other villains that wanted their enemies to suffer. But Ian didn't just hand over the bullets. He was very picky about who got them.
That was why Yami joined Stalker. Two grandsons of two villains that have gone toe-to-toe with Batman.
"Team, this is Yami. Yami, to your left is Morgan La Fay and her son Mordred. To your right is Drow, Two-Face's grandson, next to him is Luthor, Alexander Luthor to be exact and the man in the helmet is Red Hood."
Yami couldn't believe it. Major heavy hitters. And they wanted him on their team!? This was a dream come true! "Pleasure," he said confidently.
"So what is this group?" Luthor asked, with an almost bored tone to it.
"The Legion of Doom," Stalker asked confidently.
"Seriously? I'm in the Legion of Doom!?" Yami couldn't help himself, he was excited. "So who gets to taste my plant poisons first? The JLU?"
"Bold, I like your style kid," Red Hood commented.
"Actually, the side team," Drow answered. "Stalker and I have fought them. We know who they are and who they replaced. Some are more obvious than others."
"And we are going to do what?" Mordred said. "Fight them head on?"
"Nothing like that yet. I need equipment for my master plan. But we will have to work in two parts, just so we can distract the younger team of heroes and get what we need. If anyone wants to back out, do it now. Because I have big plans for this planet and all of you will get a piece of the planet as reward for helping me." Stalker watched as no one left the room. "Good. I need the hyper photon accelerator that a California lab has just finished making. It'll make jumping the time stream easier on us. Red Hood is getting that piece. Luthor, thanks to his generous donation, has given me the basic design of a prototype he made some time ago. I made adjustments and all we need are 4 major parts to complete it."
"And what are we going to do, exactly?" La Fay asked.
"My dear Master Sorceress, I need to distract the heroes from this heist. You will engage Lady Merline and Nightwing I. You've done it before."
"With pleasure," she purred.
"What about Star Sapphire?" Mordred asked.
"She's doing some negotiating with others that would like to take out more Green Lanterns," Stalker told the group gathered.
"Well, I got a flight to catch. Have fun, Kid." Red Hood left the warehouse in a few minutes' time.
"Now for the fun part. Luthor, you and Yami here will distract the team. Cause some destruction."
"Good. Yami." Luthor got up and left the room. Yami was quickly behind him.
Stalker waited before turning to Mordred. "Young wizard, I have a contact in Rhelasia that has an amulet of magical power that I want. You're to meet him, get it…and leave no witnesses."
Mordred got up and left.
"Are you ready to play?" Stalker asked Drow.
"I was born ready." Both villains got up and left the meeting room to go to the back of the warehouse where they had created "dungeons" for prisoners…and to have fun.
There was one room that had a medieval-looking door. Outside was a temperature box that regulated the temps for the room inside. Drow looked through the bar window to see the "guest" inside.
The wealth of black hair was the telling sign of who was there. The costume was too. If anyone who knew about Batman, they would know about his first two sidekicks, the acrobat and the fire-controller.
And with a new Batman resurfacing, he had a fire-controlling partner.
Her code name was Red Bird and she was Nightwing's blood niece.
Drow saw that she was still out, so he went to catch up with Stalker in the torture room.
There, Stalker had just struck the captive in the face and she fainted. The black/purple hair was tied back in a braid and her costume was torn in places. The purple raven bird was just over her chest and her domino mask over her eyes. Her cloak hung behind her. A collar was clearly visible around the neck and it was pulsing red.
The collar was meant to keep the girl's demon powers at bay.
Her name was Rave and she was Nightwing I's oldest daughter. She was also demon-possessed and the last thing the villains wanted was her demon side to rise up and rip them apart.
The two smiled.
It was time to play.
