Luck of Seven

by SugarRed

The world is in danger and desperately needs a group of heros to protect them. Bruce Wayne thinks he's found all of them until a seventh shows up. She's wicked smart and mischievous with a thick southern accent, who can swing a bo like nobody's business. Her name is Charlotte Dubois or Ruse as the press likes to call her. And she is the seventh member of the Justice League.

1. Prologue

Luck Of Seven: Prologue

The camera feed is blurry and pixellated as it overlooks a dark alley just off the French Quarter in New Orléans. It's black and white with nothing really to show except for some stray trash blowing around and a group of men standing and talking by the chain link fence.

That soon changes however when a back door from a pub slams open and a short curvy woman stumbles from it. The feed makes her face fuzzy and barely able to show the details of her clothes. One thing stick out however is her walking cane clutched in her hands as she leans against the wall breathing heavily.

The men at the end take notice of her and start calling out things while slowly making their way over. She doesn't do anything but ignore them until one gets angry and pulls a knife shaking his fist at her.

The woman's head raises, her eyes glowing extremely bright on the black and white footage. She twirls her walking cane three times causing it to extend a little taller than her before she slams the now staff down hard.

The feed then goes dark with a bright flash right before it happens. Seconds later, it comes back on with all the men crumpled to the ground and the woman swinging her cane lazily as she walks down the alley.

Intrigued, Bruce leans back examining all the meta-human profiles pulled up on his computers. Diana a woman whose been alive since the World Wars with no change in age, who also has extreme powers and goes by the name Wonder Woman. An athlete who was in a terrible accident, turned into a science experiment by the name of Victor Stone or Cyborg. Another kid, Barry, who possesses lightning speed and claims the superhero name Flash. Arthur Curry, seemingly human but with aquatic abilities and takes the name Aquaman. Lastly the newest recruit Bruce found; Charlotte Dubois. A meta-human hustler in New Orléans who posses unknown but strong powers, who goes by the name Ruse.

Glancing over all the files one more time and re-watching Ruse's footage, Bruce calls out to Alfred, "Prepare the jet, we're heading South."
