Soul Justice

Summery:

Kami Albarn (mother of Maka Albarn and ex-wife to Spirit the death scythe) gets a call back to active duty during her vacation. There have been increased sightings of kishin eggs in major cities across the United States and the Justice League has started to take notice. Anya is assigned to act as a liaison of sorts between the Justice League and the DWMA (Death Weapon Mister Academy). 8 students and 2 teachers will be arriving to work with the Justice League and help fight the new threat. Maybe Kami will find new love along the way.

Chapter 1 – A New Threat

The soft click of heals was close to silent in the crowded restaurant, the nude 6 inch peep toes complimented her extravagant champagne halter dress perfectly and it practically whispered as she moved. Soft golden locks fell in gentle curls against slender shoulders. Flawless creamy skin glowed in the light and green eyes swept slowly over the room. She felt a soft bump from behind and a voice that was very male rose over the crowd.

"Pardon me! I'm so sorry I didn't see you there." Lips painted pale pink turned upward.

"It's fine, no harm no foul."

"I'm sorry but could I ask you a question?" Her head tilted slightly to the side, hair shifted to catch the light perfectly.

"Go right ahead." The man shifted slightly, he was very tall, at least 6ft 2in and had the classic tall dark and handsome going on.

"I'm meeting my date here later on, how do I look?" The woman took in his dark suit fitted perfectly to broad shoulders, thick arms, a trim waist and muscular thighs. His royal blue shirt brought out the blue in his eyes in just the right way and his black tie and designer shoes brought the whole look together.

"I think any woman would be lucky to have you as her date tonight." Another mischievous smile touched her mouth.

"I'm glad you think so, I was beginning to think you weren't going to show, Kami." Laughter bubbled up and she placed a hand over her mouth to silence herself.

"I'm five minutes late Bruce!" she started walking toward the front of the restaurant as she slipped her arm through his, "There is such a thing as traffic and considering this is our fifth date and the first one I've ever been late too I would think you could cut me a little slack… especially since you were late to the first three." Her eyes slid to meet his laughter still showing on her face.

"May I have the name for the reservation please?" The hostess at the podium hadn't looked up upon their approach.

"Wayne please, party of two."

The hostess's head blurred as she looked up "Mr. Wayne!" looking around to make sure no one who mattered had noticed her slip up the hostess scrambled for menus' before looking at the seating chart. "This way please." Weaving through tables full of well-dressed patrons the hostess, her name tag read Trish, lead them to a small secluded table for two. "Here you are Mr. Wayne, Miss. Terence will be your waiter for this evening and he will be right with you. Can I help you with anything else?"

"I think we're all right thank you Trish." Her eyes widened slightly as red dusted her cheeks before bowing and returning to her post.

"It must be nice to always be the most important man in the room." A sly smile spread across Kami's face as she glanced at Bruce from the corner of her eye. Bruce smiled back as he moved behind her to pull out her chair.

"Not the most important just the most recognized." A hand drifted up slide across her neck and push a lock of her hair behind one ear. Letting his hand linger and absorb some of her warmth.

"Mr. Wayne, Miss" both looked up at the waiter standing with a bottle of wine. The moment ended, Bruce moved to sit in his own chair. "Tonight I have a 1963 Pinot Grigio for you and the house specials an herb encrusted salmon filet, short ribs with mashed potato's carrots and green beans, and Ratatouille. I am assuming you want your usual Mr. Wayne?" as he spoke he opened the bottle of wine and poured some into Bruce's glass.

"That will be perfect, thank you Terence. And excellent choice in the wine"

"Thank you Mr. Wayne, and for the lovely lady?" Terence turned to Kami.

"I will have the Salmon and for an appetizer I would like the… Clams Casino, thanks."

"Right away Mr. Wayne, madam." Terence turned away after pouring two glasses and leaving the bottle in ice.

"So," Kami placed her chin on both fists, "What is 'Mr. Wayne's' regular?" another sly smile stretched across her face. "Wait, no! Let me guess… Filet minion, with a white wine sauce and a tiny pile of the freshest caviar on top." Bruce was laughing quietly now, a low deep chuckle and a smile that make his eyes crinkle at the corners.

"How on earth did you come up with that?"

Now semi-serious Kami crossed her arms over her chest "Well… you're a rich, powerful man in Gotham City and given that most rich powerful men like to flaunt their wealth especially with an enchanting beautiful date such as myself." she flipped her hair over one shoulder with a flourish and resettled her chin on one hand.

Bruce's laughter had grown loud and full bellied, one hand covering his mouth to try and stifle the noise. "Oh of course! Seeing as that's all there is to me is looks and money, I have to use those to my fullest advantage. How else am I going to manage to keep ahold of a magnificent woman such as yourself!" now more serious himself Bruce straightened up, "But really Kami, I thought you knew me better than that."

"Well after four dates I should hope so! Of course I know there is much more to you than meets the eye, I am an excellent judge of character after all. And not just anyone would foster and adopt 4 children that lost their families." Bruce started at the brutal honesty in her voice, slowly realizing that his feelings for the amazing woman in front of him were growing. "But really the mansion, the cars, the late night parties and all the woman! You could have fooled anyone, you might have even fooled me if you hadn't talked to me for more than five minutes." That ripped another chuckle from him.

Conversation turned as the food arrived and they dug in.

Both were enjoying the dinner, the wine and easy conversation when Bruce's cell phone rang.

"Really, we can't have one dinner together without some sort of interruption!" she was cut off as her phone rang as well. "Oh for the love of…. Hello!"

"Kami! It's good to hear your voice." The voice on the other end of the line was male, high pitched and childish.

"… Sir? What's going on?" Kami had been on vacation for a while now, an indefinite vacation. Partly because she wanted to retire and her boss didn't want to lose her, partly to get away from her ex-husband so she didn't kill him for cheating so many times. She had been traveling all over the world and stopped on a whim in Gotham where she happened to meet Bruce Wayne.

"So sorry to bother you on your vacation Kami but we have a little bit of a situation. There has been an increase in Kishin Eggs in your area but there is also another problem. The Justice League has decided to try to intervene."

"Damn." Kami glanced up to see Bruce still completely engaged in his conversation. "What do you need me to do sir?" She refrained from calling him Lord Death, even if Bruce wasn't paying attention there were other ears all over the place.

"Nothing for now, we're going to contact them and offer our assistance. Knowledge and a team to help eradicate the threat… you will be acting as liaison. It will take some time to put a team together so before then you will meet with the Justice League and give them a crash course on Eggs, Kishin, weapons and miesters. If all goes well you will continue to act as liaison after this mission is finished… So what do you say!" the conversation took an abrupt turn from the seriousness of the situation to a much more playful tone that would have shocked Kami if she hadn't known her boss for so many years.

"I understand sir, call me when you need me."

"Bye-bye Kami!" the phone clicked and she looked up to see Bruce was already done and had a very guilty look on his face.

"I have to-"

"You need to go." Kami cut him off rolling her eyes, "Fine, you're a very important man and a multiple business owner, just know I'm expecting something big to make up for it." She placed her utensils neatly on her plate and her napkin at the side before standing haughtily and walking to the front of the restaurant with Bruce close behind her.

"Kami wait!" he took ahold of her arm and stalled her outside the restaurant. "I'm sorry, but you have to understand. Look if this was something that could be postponed or handed off to someone else I would have done that. Kami please!" the shaking of her shoulders stopped him short, he let out a sigh of relief as laughter escaped her lips.

"Relax Bruce, I'm not angry," she turned and gripped his tie as she stepped closer, "but I am expecting something in return for you baling on me early." Slowly she rose, lips ghosting over his.

Now normally Bruce was a patient man, as a business man and as the Bat but he was finding himself less and less patient when it came to Kami Albarn. With none left he slid a hand to the back of her head and griped her hair pushing her mouth into his, his other hand circled her waist and pulled her even closer.

Kami loved it when Bruce took charge like this, her mouth was crushed to his and she used every opportunity to nip, lick and suck making sure he knew exactly what he might be missing that night. She sighed as he slowly pulled away, both of her hands resting on his chest. "Do you really need to go?"

"Unfortunately." His irritation nearly palpable, he gazed at her regretfully before taking a step back still griping one of her hands in his. A night time breeze swept by, Kami's shiver was enough to get Bruce moving again. Handing the valet both of their tickets he wrapped her in his jacket while they waited for their cars.

"So… lunch tomorrow?" she stepped into her car and handed him back his jacket.

"Wouldn't miss it." With one last kiss he closed the door for her and watched her pull away. A much more serious look came over him as he got into his own car and prepared for whatever trouble the bad guys had caused to end his date with Kami early.

The Bat beamed into the watchtower, his scowl much more intense than normal. "What's going on?" almost all the members of the League were gathered.

"Well you look more surly than usual, what's got your panties in a bunch?" the flash was grinning and looking smug with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Nothing you need to worry about." Taking his seat at the head of the table with the other founding six he turned to the holographic image projector at the center of the room. "I believe we're all here," he glanced around to see if anyone was missing. "I understand some of us have been encountering new threats." He pushed a button on the table in front of him and the projector light up. Graphic images that, if not for the fact that they were taken by an extremely advanced satellite, they would have seemed distorted. The fist form on the pictures almost seemed human in a skin tight body suit with the extremely elongated limbs and foot long blades protruding from its hands. Their seemed to be a mask covering its face with no holes for eyes or mouth. The second looked like a balloon dressed in a clown costume, a tiny bump on top for a head and short fat limbs. Across his face stretched a grin that was far too close to the Jokers for anyone's comfort. The third image was another human like form that looked to be about eight feet tall, the sleeves of its shirt fell over its hands and he looked to have extra joints in his arms and legs.

"…What the hell are those things?" Flash was the one that spoke but others in the room were murmuring as well.

"We don't know, these are only three of the seven we've come in contact with so far, and they're popping up all over the states. We also have no idea how to stop them, and all the ones we have faced so far have gotten away-" the Bat was cut of ass the hologram started to warp and another image began to come through. With his fiercest glare he turned toward the Flash "This had better not be a prank."

"Don't look at me!" he held his hands up in surrender as a distorted voice came through the monitors.

"Hello? Hel – is thing on? Hellooo!" the image, becoming much clearer showed a man in a black robe with… a skull mask? "Ah! There we go, hello! I'm assuming that I've reached the Justice League?"

There was a moment before anyone answered "You have… who are you, what do you want?" It was Superman that spoke this time.

"Well… I go by many names, none of which would make any of you more comfortable with this situation, but for now you can call me Mr. D. As for what I want that's simple, to help with your current situation." More murmuring, Batman's eyes narrowed as he tried to identify any distinguishing features or characteristics in his voice. "The resent threat you've come across, I know what they are and how to defeat them." The room stilled as Batman stood, his mind going a mile a minute. The… Man Mr. D who had temporarily invaded their system (He said man because of the voice, though distinctly high pitched was definitely male and he paid attention to that because he had accepted long ago that people lie about everything including gender) focused on the bat.

"You have our attention, what do you want in return for this information."

"What do I-? Oh! No, no you misunderstand. I'm not trying to exploit or use you in any way!" He had raised his hands in a peaceful gesture and was waiving them franticly, "Ah… Think of it this way. You take it upon yourself to protect the people of this planet for home grown and off world threats. My job and that of the people I work with is to protect people from the creatures you've encountered." Someone shifted in the corner of his eye, Green Lantern (Guy Gardner) had crossed his arms over his chest.

"Not doing a very good job of that are you?" Mr. D froze and the aura around him darkened considerably. Slowly he turned to stare at the Lantern through the bottomless holes in his skull mask that had seemed almost childlike before. His voice, considerably deeper now, had lowered as he spoke.

"I have been protecting this earth from the creatures you've just now discovered for centuries boy. Maybe I shouldn't even bother you with providing information considering the lot of you are too incompetent to have noticed them sooner!" The hologram had moved to tower over Guy who actually looked intimidated despite the fact that he couldn't be hurt by it.

A pregnant silence engulfed the room, Mr. D had completely frozen, then jerked upright suddenly chuckling and rubbing the back of his head with gigantic cube like hands. "Eh-he-he-he! Whoopsie, lost my temper for a second there… sorry about that. Ah… where were we?"

Batman jumped in before there could be anymore interruptions. "You were about to explain to us about this new threat."

"Actually I'm not, I don't really have the time. However, I have an associate in the area that I have just returned to active duty. She had been informed of her mission already and is awaiting further instructions, now lets see…" His brow (apparently the mask could make facial expressions) furrowed in concentration. "Ah! This is the woman who will be acting as liaison." Another hologram appeared and if Bruce hadn't been wearing his cowl anyone paying attention would have noticed his shock. "Her name is Kami Albarn and she is extremely accomplished at what she does. She will be able to answer any questions you may have and she will be the 'go between' for you and the small team I send to help resolve this issue."

"A team isn't necessary, all we need is information on how to defeat these things." Batman's tone left no room for argument.

"But you see, that is exactly the issue. To defeat these things you need a specific type of weapon, and you need to be a specific type of person to wheeled these weapons. As far as I know no one in the Justice League has either of these abilities." The sound of a door slamming open was herd from behind Mr. D, the man himself radiated irritation. "Unfortunately that's all the time we have, Kami has been given instructions to meet you at the Hall of Justice tomorrow at nine in the morning. Bye-bye!" the hologram was cut off abruptly and replaced with the three images they were previously viewing.

Silence permeated the room once again as each hero absorbed the past half hour a hungry growl from the flash broke that silence and like a switch had been flipped conversation erupted. With a sigh Batman stood once again with Superman and Wonder woman at his sides, his voice rising above the noise.

"Everyone go home and get some rest, we'll have enough time for questions tomorrow." He left deliberating on how he was going to keep his life as Batman separate from his life as Bruce Wayne now that Anya was going to be involved in both. Life just got a little more complicated.
