Hey guys . As you all can clearly see , this is a new story .
Before this even starts , I'll say don't expect me to update this one very often . My main focus is and will be my LITWOOP story until it's finished .
I just wanted to go ahead and post at least one chapter of this so you all could get a feel for it .
I'll admit that I'm not an expert on DC and Marvel like I am with something like One Piece or Naruto , but I'll try to make it enjoyable .
Anyway , let me know what you all think and feel free to PM me about suggestions or tips .
Enjoy .
Chapter 1: Justice ?
"Yo" - Speaking
'Hmm' - Thoughts
[ ] - Scene/POV Change
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story except my OC .
Inside the Watchtower of the Justice League , another meeting was taking place . The League had formed a few years ago , and they were quite proud to know that they were making a difference . Sure they had their troubles at first , especially with each of them having such strong personalities , but now they all had pretty good teamwork .
In attendance were all the members that had been around for the longest .
The Flash , Aquaman , Green Lantern , Green Arrow , Black Canary , and Martian Manhunter .
Most notably in attendance were three people who were widely regarded as perhaps the most famous members of the League .
The Man of Steel , Superman .
The Amazonian Princess , Wonder Woman .
The Dark Knight , Batman .
Moving on , the topic of this meeting was the same person they'd had many meetings about before .
Scarecrow .
He had broken out of Arkham last month and used a new sample of his fear gas on one hundred people and made them all attack each other . The League managed to stop it and put Scarecrow back behind bars , but not before over fifty civilians were killed . Women , senior citizens, children , it didn't matter . Scarecrow turned them into nothing more than mindless beasts.
And now , only a month later he was already out . AGAIN .
"As you all can see , Scarecrow has broken out again , only this time Joker has also escaped ." Batman said as he looked around at each of them .
Several people groaned .
"Seriously ?" The Flash said as he rubbed a hand over his face .
"Are they working together ?" Green Arrow asked .
"Unknown as of now . For now though , we can't afford to think otherwise . They're already extremely dangerous on their own . If they are working together then we need to stop them as soon as possible and put them back behind bars ." Batman replied and they all , or at least most of them , nodded in agreement .
"What do you think ?" Wonder Woman whispered to the person sitting next to her .
Said person was the tallest person in the room , with his standing height being 6'10 . He had on sleek metallic armor that was black , red , and gold , that also had a black cape with a hood connected to it that was currently pulled over his head like usual . His mask/helmet had a line going across where eyes would be that glowed red . He also had a sword sheathed on his hip . (Look up Thor's Assassin . The costume looks like that , just a different color scheme and with a sword .)
This was Wraith . One of the oldest members of the League , and arguably the best friend of Diana AKA Wonder Woman . It was strange to her that she was so drawn to him since she , nor any of the others for that matter , had ever seen him outside of his costume . Actually , due to his costume looking the way it did, many assumed that he was an android . Not to mention how cold and robotic his voice was .
Despite that though , he wasn't an outcast or anything like that . Though he definitely didn't go out of his way to make extended conversation with anyone . The people he spoke to the most by far were Wonder Woman and Black Canary.
Wraith turned his head to her before he replied lowly "You already know what I think ." Which was all he needed to say .
Wonder Woman just nodded . Indeed , for quite some time now she had been aware of just how unsatisfied he was with the way the League , and "heroes" in general , tended to handle villains .
A sentiment she was beginning to agree with .
She was raised and trained as a strong , fierce , yet kind warrior . The problem with that was , in recent years the villains of the world were receiving far too many second chances , doing crazier and crazier things since they know the heroes won't kill them , or even badly hurt them . It often made her wonder .
If she wasn't in Man's World and she was still dealing with villains like these , she would have likely killed them . So why ? Why did she let herself succumb to what society dictates a hero should be like ? What was the point of fighting the same villains damn near every week and putting them in prison , only for them to break out and start terrorizing people again ? How many times had she held back when she could have easily ended a villain in one move ?
It was something her and Wraith often talked about .
"That's all for now ." Batman said and they all nodded before going there separate ways , leaving only Wonder Woman and Wraith .
"Your thoughts ?" Wraith asked her .
"I... From where I'm standing , both Joker and Scarecrow are beyond redemption after everything they've done ." Wonder Woman replied with a small frown .
"Of course . That's been the case for years now . They both have hundreds , if not thousands of innocent people's blood on their hands ." Wraith responded , making her nod as her frown deepened .
"It's too naive to believe that everyone will change if you just give them a chance . Batman and Superman always like to say , if we kill villains then we would be no better than them . I couldn't disagree more . I didn't join this group to be praised or idolized by the masses ." He continued as they both walked over to the Zeta-Beams .
"So what will you do ?" Wonder Woman asked with a raised eyebrow .
"Something I've been considering for a long time now . Anyway , I suppose this is where we part ." Wraith said as they both came to a stop .
"Just when are you gonna let me see where you live ?" Wonder Woman asked with a smile as she turned to him with her left hand on her hip .
"I'm sure you'll see it eventually ."
Another conversation they'd had multiple times .
"Right . Because I haven't heard that before ." Wonder Woman replied sarcastically .
"Your sarcasm is noted . As I've said before , I really don't live anywhere extravagant." Wraith said as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
"It doesn't have to be fancy . Do you really think I would be so vain ?"
"Of course not ." He replied .
"Besides , I'm pretty sure it's normal for friends to see and know where each other live ." Wonder Woman continued to make her case .
"Your logic... Is sound . Although it has been quite some time since I've had any guests ."
"Then-" Wonder Woman started with a smile , only to be cut off as Wraith lightly poked her forehead (Well , her tiara in this case) with two fingers .
"Not yet . Truthfully you are one person I don't mind knowing where I live , or even how I truly look , but not yet ." Wraith said , much to her surprise and happiness .
She had almost begun to think that she was the only one that considered them to be close friends . If he was willing to show her his face/identity , which she was sure not even Batman knew , must mean that he trusted her just as much as she did him .
"Soon ?"
"Soon . I promise ."
"Good ." Wonder Woman said as she nodded with a smile before she held out her hand .
"I'll hold you to that ." She said as Wraith looked down at her outstretched hand .
"Understood ." He said as he grabbed her hand and shook it .
Letting go and stepping into the teleportation device , Wonder Woman waved with a smile before she was beamed out .
Now alone , Wraith sighed .
'Such a strange woman .' He thought to himself with a shake of his head .
'Though I suppose I wouldn't have her any other way .'
How was it ? I know this was a very short chapter , but like I said , I'm just posting this to let you all get a feel for one of the ideas I've had for a while .
Another reason I'll be updating this infrequently is that I don't have an end goal for this story . I do plan on bringing in some pretty powerful/dangerous villains , but I don't really know who I want the "big bad" to be .
I also don't know just how many "heroes" I want to bring in from Marvel and DC .
Also , this story will have elements/characters from a few different games , anime , and books/movies .
Personally , I don't think this one will be quite as well received as LITWOOP , but that's fine I guess . Sometimes you've gotta fail to improve .
To all my LITWOOP readers , don't worry . This story will definitely not become my main focus . It's much easier for me to come up with ideas for that story/series , so it will be my main priority .
Anyway , I hope you all enjoyed this . As previously stated , feel free to PM me any suggestions/tips .
