GAH! I know it's been forever since I posted anything. So terribly sorry about that :( This is a fanfiction that one of my roleplaying friend and I have been working on. She's simultaneously posting it on her Wattpad (Username: Questiongirl) It's based off of a whole bunch of villain's kids. Which includes the Joker, Riddler, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman. They'll be more developed as the story goes on. Read the story in 3...2...1...
Rachel flopped down on the couch next to Emily, "Hey, are you almost in?" They were sitting in the living room along with the rest of their friends, Jack, Matt, Anna, and Melissa.
Her fingers typed away quickly against the solid green keys beneath her. The screen was mostly number sequences that belonged to the organization called The Light. Earlier today, Emily had found out that her father, aka the Riddler, as well as the rest of their parents had been keeping secrets from them. They all were part of a secret organization called The Light. Each one of them felt insulted that they weren't included in the plan. Why couldn't they participate? Emily pondered to herself. She wanted nothing more to prove to her father that she could handle belonging to something as big as a team. "Almost, my father's security is almost child's play-" She paused a moment, pursing her lips together before turning to Rachel. "Never tell him I said that."
Rachel laughed, "Don't worry. I've got your back." Anna looked up from her cell phone and scooted around to get behind the couch as Enigma hacked in.
"I have to say, I want to know what was soooo important, that none of them could tell any of us what was going on." Matt said. Scarecrow had been keeping stuff from him and Anna too.
Emily frowned ever so slightly, looking at the images that popped up on the screen. Different missions, photos and video clips of some team. "What is this?" She double clicked on a link, "What kind of simple minded kids attempt to go up against such a power as the light?"
Jack crackled with a dark chilling laughter, hearing this information. He sat in the corner of the room, playing with a metal blade in his hands. "I think Jokes mentioned them last time he worked with Rachel's mom. Some party pooping kids broke it up. Y'know, with the giant plants?"
"Which plants? With Rachel, there's never a small plant." Melissa teased. She'd overheard her mother, Catwoman, and Batman arguing about her involvement with some villains at some point.
"Hey!" Rachel made a mock frown, and tossed an apple at the young cat's head. Melissa easily dodged it though and stuck out her tongue. Jack meanwhile, caught the apple and started carving it up with the knife.
Anna groaned softly, keeping to herself in the corner. She didn't really understand why everyone was focused on that. It was obvious their parents all kept secrets from them but would it really be better to get involved?
"Shit!" Emily frowned, seeing the screen flash red, then green then back to red. She had tried to pull up more information on this group and had been outsmarted by her father's design. Her hand tapped lightly against her chin, thinking. Once she knew there was a secret, her curiosity took over. She had to know what was behind it. Emily couldn't help herself. It was just her nature. How could she play this all to her advantage? Get her father to trust her and her friends into the light. After a second, her emerald eyes flashed with a mischievous look.
Rachel's eyes caught the look on her best friend's face. She raised her eyebrows, "Whoops, looks like E's got an idea. What is it this time?" The others all looked towards her too.
Emily had a sly smile across her face as she looked up from her laptop. Her back rested against the purple leather of the seat. "Riddle me this, What is anywhere and nowhere, unpredictable yet can be predicted. Everyone want's some of it but not all. Everything at once yet never nothing at or doom shall fall?"
"Chaos," Jack smirked. He loved chaos. Nothing like shooting people in the street, watching the blood pour out as if it was a type of art. He was the son of The Joker after all, chaos intrigued him more then anything.
She smiled, giving a slight nod. "How else can we show we're ready to be on the same level as them? Worthy enough to be on the same intellectual group. We need to catch the attention of these imbeciles that threaten our way of life. We need to eliminate or at least distract them." Her voice was raised slightly, getting excited over it.
"Prrrrfect." Purred Melissa. She shifted positions on the couch let her jet black hair fall over the edge of the couch.
Matt and Anna exchanged looks. "We've been working on this new fear gas formula. Maybe this would be a good opportunity to get some test subjects. We could easily make a ton, and it'd draw a lot of attention."
Jack grinned, running a hand through his spiky green hair. "Oooo! What fun!" He chuckled sinisterly, "Dynamite is just what this party needs to get it going. Add in the crows fear gas, and we'll have those kids come ta play in no time. As long as we could find someone to broadcast it." He looked over to Emily for the tech assistance.
"Please don't belittle me with such a small gesture, I could hack into the stations networks in my sleep." She spoke cockily.
"I could handle it. I need more practice with that stuff anyway. If Emily wants to get more in on the action, that is," Rachel offered.
"In on the action?" Emily tilted her head slightly. She wasn't exactly the...best fighter there was which lead to her work behind the screen. Unlike the others she had no gift or fighting skills outside her laptop. However that wouldn't stop her from getting in trouble. She needed assistants to pull off the hack; someone needed to be across town doing the actual bidding work. "That'd work actually." She gave a slight nod, looking up at Rachel. "You think you can pull off a simple hack? You're the only person here I trust with my laptop not to mention your environmental gift could help you get to the place I need the feed to bounce off of."
"Environmental gift? That's a way to put it," Rachel smirked. Lots of people were gifted, but she didn't really know many people who could grow plants at will and use them to snap necks...
"So is that a yes?" Jack asked, growing with impatience to get this all started. A chorus of approval went around the group of teens, all seeing this as a good plan.
Melissa cleared her throat, "What am I supposed to do while these toxins and explosions spread around the city? I'm a thief not a fighter."
"You're the stealth, consider yourself Gretel." Emily grinned, being very vague in her statement. "You'll be dropping 'bread crumbs', so they can be fooled into the delusion that we're amateur. You'll help lead them right ot"
"Let's kick this off tonight," Rachel said. "How long will it take you guys to get everything in place?"
"Please, who doesn't carry dynamite on them at all times?" Jack spoke nonchalantly, before receiving an odd look from Emily as if to say it wasn't normal. He shook his head, "Either way I'm ready."
"I'll need to swing by the lab. Is an hour enough for everyone?" Anna asked.
Matt tilted his head as if this was going too fast for him to keep up. A confused expression was across his face, "Wait, Where is this going to happen?"
Emily rolled her eyes, finding his question tedious before realizing they never picked a designated place. She leaned forward, back to typing on her laptop. "I've got an idea." She knew her dad was obsessive about keeping data, Emily used that data to make a scatter plot diagram. "Seems like most of their heroic acts take place near Gotham, central coast."
"So, that means we should hit some place in that area. There's a main road that goes through there. If we wait till rush hour, it'll be packed," Rachel suggested.
Emily grinned giving a slight nod, "An hour then, those kids will never know what hit them."
That's all folks! I'll post the next chapter in a couple days. Also, I'm going to post a new one-shot on "Birds that Fly" soon, so keep an eye out for that.
