Red Hood and the Outlaws Issue One: Breaking Out Is Hard To Do
Unknown Location, 7:55am
The location was that of a jail that was located in the middle of a desert. The jail itself from the outside looked pretty run down but on the inside was a different story The jail was one of the few "Super Jails" that the country could afford. Not every country could afford something as fine as Arkham Asylum, Blackgate Prison, and other jails of that nature but they made due with what they had. Right now inside the jail, a execution was about to take place. You had multiple guards wearing army fatigues around the area.
"Bring the prisoner." The guard whose name tag read Abdul ordered as the two other guards were bringing the prisoner whose body was covered in a white jump suit. The jumpsuit was pretty baggy as the prison had to spend their money more on the technology and no so much the cloths. The one feature that stood out the most was the persons long white hair.
"Do you mind if I send this person off properly Mister Abdul. Give them a chance to confess their sins? " A very large man wearing what seemed to be a preacher.
"You got five minutes Rose Wilson and after that it's night night for good." Abdul stated.
"Can we get some privacy please." The Preacher pleaded as Abdul made a hand gesture for the guards to lower their weapons.
"This should be good." Rose muttered as unknown to most the world except her father. She had the ability to see into the future. It was only a few seconds but hey that helped when it came to her job. Her current vision was that this preacher was about to become her best friend.
"What should be good." As the preacher had heard her whisper. "Is that it is time for you to confess your sins."
"Yes my sins." Wilson said playing along and hoping to get to where her vision stopped. As the preacher pulled out a book with the words "Bible" on them. Opening the book Wilson looked on in awe as she saw her two signature guns.
"Sometimes all you have to do is ask and you shall receive." The Preacher said before nodding.
"And I ask for this forgiveness for what I am about to do." Rose said before taking the guns and started shooting at the guards.
"I hate it when they don't wait. I even wrote wait on the page beside it." The Preacher complained before pulling on one of his straps to reveal to be none other than Jason Todd otherwise known to the world as the infamous Red Hood. His signature attire was a customed red helmet. A black armored jumpsuit with a red Bat logo on it. He also wore a brown jacket, black boots, and a pair of black gloves and gauntlets.
"You're telling a person with cognitive abilities to wait." Rose said before her and Jason quickly jumped to cover as the duo were hiding behind two pillars. "Why were you a Robin again?"
"Because of my personality." Jason said before throwing a few smoke screen pellets as the duo started running towards the exit.
"Roy, wheels up in three." Jason said through a telecom as the duo continued to make their way to the exit. Only to see that it started to seal itself off.
"Who knew a bunch of mercenaries could take over a jail." Rose muttered as the jail was being run by a group of mercenaries. Rose was originally in the area to free the city but that didn't go so well. If you hadn't noticed, this whole place was corrupted.
"Is my assistance needed?" A female voice asked as Jason had to think about it for a few seconds.
"No, not yet at least. Roy tell me you got an arrow for this." Jason said as their path to freedom was closing.
"Say please and I'll shoot it with accuracy." Roy joked earning a sigh from Jason.
"Shoot the arrow already." Rose said as a few seconds later a boom was heard. The duo saw that the door was now gone. Looking ahead Rose saw one Roy Harper. The former archer sidekick attire was a pair of red pants, red boots, a red tank top, and a baseball cap. On his back was his signature quiver filled with multiple arrows.
"Come on slow pokes! I don't have all day." Roy stated before narrowing his eyes and seeing two things. One, Rose and Jason were being pursued by a lot of guards. Two, who ordered the tanks? "Tanks, are we forreal right now."
As Roy quickly shoot a puddy arrow just as Rose and Jason made it out of the jail. The puddy arrow blocked the guards from coming out. The high explosive anti-tank round however would be another problem.
"Showtime beautiful." Jason called as a beam of purple energy hit the round that exploded in the air. Rose looked up and saw a woman with what she would say is a Amazon figure floating in the air. She had long black hair, purple eyes, and orange skin. Something that was very rare to being with. Their attire was a black and white body suit that fit her nicely.
"Should I as Roy would say "own" the rest of the tanks?" The woman asked as she flew besides the vehicle.
"Warning shot Blackfire and lets move." Jason ordered as Blackfire threw a starbolt towards one of the tanks. Lucky for the guys inside the starbolt sliced the right "wheel" of the tank off. That action allowed the team to escape.
Outlaws HQ
12:00pm, June 10
It had been two days since breaking Rose out of prison. During that time the team learned they l now had bounty posters. There combined total equaling about $750,000. Not the biggest bounty but it was something. Right now the team was currently relaxing on the beach of there island. Jason and Roy wearing swim trunks, Blackfire in a bikini, and finally Rose wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top.
"Yo Rose, what's with the cloths?" Roy asked seeing her not in a bikini like he thought she would wear.
"Yeah, I'm nowhere near as curvy as Blackfire. So her clothes were a definite no go. Jason's on the other hand." Rose said earning a laugh from Roy.
"I would apologize for my figure but I won't." Blackfire said walking to the shore as she had taken a quick swim.
"You don't need to Blackfire, trust me." Roy stated while enjoying the view.
"Knock it off Roy." Jason commented as he liked the Tamaranian. Of course he wasn't going to say it out loud but the kiss they had when they first met would pop into his mind every now and again.
"So, why did you break me out? You three never told me, let alone tell me the purpose of this "team".
"We're not a team, just a group of people working towards a goal." Jason said making sure Rose knew this wasn't a thing. They weren't the Justice League or any of it's interpretations, let alone something like those Teen Titans. No, this was just a group of people with similar interest.
"So the conversation where we debated to call ourselves "Red Hood and The Outlaws" didn't happen then?" Blackfire asked before grabbing her towel to dry off.
"She got you there Jay bird." Roy added earning a glare from the former boy wonder.
"I really dislike you two." Jason muttered before taking a breath and continuing. "Fine, we call ourselves Outlaws. Our goal is to do what it takes to get the job done."
"Among other goals." Blackfire added earning a nod from Jason. The team also had personal goals they wanted to achieve.
"Sounds like a team I wouldn't mind working with. Solo work can only get me so far." Rose commented.
"Well you can start by telling us about this." Roy said before pulling out his laptop and showing Rose the web page. The page showed the Cobra Corporation putting out a PSA about Ravager.
"Please if you do find this Ravager, do your public duty to bring her in. For America's interest, please bring them in for justice." The video feed said before ending.
"Don't tell me you guys broke me out only to turn me in." Rose said not really wanting to fight her new friends.
"Come on we're not that shallow...okay maybe Roy but not me or Blackfire." Jason said getting back a Roy for the Jay bird nickname.
"We've had our own run in with this Cobra Corporation. Roy and Jason believe they're doing "bad business" to say the least. While I do not necessary care as to what this corporation does to your planet. I do care for my friends interest." Blackfire explained as Rose nodded at the explanation.
"Planet? You remind me of someone, I just can't place my finger on it." Rose said looking real close at Blackfire. "Do you have a sister by any chance?"
"Sister? Not to my knowledge which is why I'm with these two. I want to find out more as to who I am and where I come from." Blackfire admitted.
"Enough origin story talk." Roy said before closing the laptop. "What's our next move here Jason?"
"Lets get some more information about the Cobra Corporation." Jason stated as this simple investigation is about to turn into something the Outlaws didn't expect.
