Chapter 1
Angel of torture
Lois Lane watched in horror from the safety of a television, where the television showed a landscape almost destroyed with the Justice League barely in good condition while a man stood in the centre of the chaos, holding Batman by the throat while the man fruitlessly managed to hit the man who laughed like an older demonic bully, throwing him away in time to block a punch from the man of steel, making Lois again worried with the shockwave actually affecting the news helicopter which shook from the force, making her panic as Superman was slammed into the ground in a headlock, followed by him being thrown in the direction Batman was, catching a sword with his mouth from Wonder woman who showed a gash in her clothing running down her side, she also followed the fate of being slammed into the ground only held in place by the man's right foot on her chest, with him leaning down.
At the battle
"Well, you look almost familiar" Zecromac said with a voice of confusion with a dark echo beneath, with Wonder Woman struggling to free herself before she was lifted up and sent flying towards Green Lantern who barely had enough time to dodge, with the two colliding in mid air, allowing Hawk girl to fly over them with her Mace ready with a swing, making Zecromac grin widely with a punch colliding with her mace, shattering the metal with ease with the fist continuing to her face, keeping her head in place while her body kept going forward, with Zecromac stepping to the side as the heroine went forward with a dust cloud following over her.
"Hawkgirl!" Green lantern shouted in worry, making Zecromac turn with a grin, leaning down to pick up his sawed off shotgun with his eyes kept on Green Lantern, loading two rounds into it before taking aim before hesitating in confusion, looking up to see a news helicopter overhead, making him grin as he sensed Superman flying at him from behind, making him change targets and fire, making the Helicopter's tail explode with Superman looking up with Zecromac spinning around, grabbing the man of Steel's shoulder and throw him up at the air vehicle, allowing Superman to catch it, looking down to where Zecromac stood, only to see empty space.
With Wonder woman blushing at seeing a female Bra on her head with Hawkgirl, attempting to hide the under garbs.
Meanwhile
"Well that was fun" Zecromac said miles away from the battlefield, staring at a large screen on the building roof where Red and Harley Quinn were in, making him drop through the roof with Harley yelping in surprise by his sudden return, while Red looked at him in surprise.
"That was fun while it lasted" Zecromac said with a smile, shrugging with excited eyes.
"Now back to the matter at hand of being interrupted, where can I find the Joker" Zecromac questioned with Red gulping at the deadly tone.
"The one with the information is known as Penguin, he lives in the colder regions of Gotham, he'll have your information, I guarantee it" Red said with Zecromac nodding, looking to Harley with a soft look before walking to the exit, leaving the two alone.
"You know how to choose them Harley" The plant hybrid said softly as she knelt down to her friend, helping her up while examining the bullet wound, a sad look in her eyes.
"It took this fatal warning to show you that the love cycle was one sided, what makes him so different?" Red questioned with Harley smiling softly.
"He was the only one in the asylum that actually listened to my troubles, He could actually see my sane side, and said we both look beautiful" Harley said with Red frowning at the soft voice Harley spoke in, seeing tears flowing down her cheeks.
Hugging the girl softly she smiled before Harley spoke.
"Do you still have my spare outfits?" Harley questioned with Red giggling as the two separated.
"Of course, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't look out for my allies, they're in the next room" red said with Harley smiling before running excitedly to the next room.
"Thanks Ivy" Harley said with a sincere voice, letting the woman wave with a kind smile, losing the smile at the sound of feet landing beside her, making her turn to see a beaten Batman.
"Where is he?" the Batman questioned with Ivy frowning.
"He's hunting a Clown, good luck finding him in the Gotham carnival" Ivy said with a disinterested look, turning away until Batman jerked her back towards him, staring down at her with annoyed eyes.
"I don't have time so tell me where he is?" Batman growled
"He's gone to cobblepot for information about Joker, and like I said good luck finding him as well" Ivy said with Batman walking off, a noticeable limp in his stride before shooting upward via grappling hook, leaving Ivy to turn to see Harley peeking out the corner half dressed in worry.
"Is he gone!?"
"I wouldn't be looking at you for long if he was still here" Ivy said with Harley walking out, fixing her clown outfit from Arkham, her hammer on her shoulders with no effort.
Meanwhile
A small warehouse was left in high alert, with two guards frightened out the front, where the doors were bent forcibly, with a small man being held up by Zecromac who had a grin.
"Are you sure He'll be there?" Zecromac questioned calmly even with his mouth stuck as a grin, with Cobblepot kicking his short legs back and forth.
"Yes, I'm sure he'll be there!" Cobblepot shouted out in fear as Zecromac tightened his grip, before it relaxed with Cobblepot feeling the ground with his feet, rubbing his throat while Zecromac petted his back, turning to the exit with Cobblepot controlling his breathing.
"What you doin'. Not gonna finish the job ya started?" Cobblepot questioned a scowl, getting a grin from Zecromac who turned around.
"You'll have a tougher time when the Bat gets here, so I'll leave you to him if you get out in time, ciao" Zecromac said before vanishing into the shadows.
Abandoned Carnival
Zecromac stood at the broken entrance, where he saw Graffiti with insults to a certain clown, a grin present with his hands in his pockets.
Preparing to step forward until he was halted by a bird shaped batarang missing his head, hitting the wall beside him before it beeped and exploded, sending him flying to the feet of a man with a red armored shirt with black pants, a cape with a hood over his head with a staff in his grasp, a smile present.
"Huh, if Batman struggled against you he must be losing his touch, got you before you could react" Robin said with a smile before looking at the carnival where he could hear faint laughter, making him look down before his head snapped up to be face to face with Zecromac, showing his mouth open in a smile.
"Sorry kid, got a clown to hunt" Zecromac said before punching Robin into a wall, across a street with a rain cloud over head, looking up to see thunder rumbling.
"Yeah whatever, I'm bored of being a good guy at the moment, change sides for once" Zecromac spoke to the rumbling loudly, causing the rumbling to soften as he walked to the entrance, ripping out a piece of debris from his coat.
Looking with disinterest as he threw the piece into the ocean below the pier, seeing no guards until he came to a building with clown statues out front with guards in sight, making Zecromac pull out two revolvers from his coat, a grin of blood lust present as he approached.
Justice league
"What the hell just happened!?" The flash questioned in surprise as he and the others minus Batman sat, with Superman rubbing a bruised cheek, the rest weren't any better with Martian Manhunter sporting claw marks over his chest and shoulders, also healing slowly, while the two females were for better, with them both only sporting sore muscles.
It didn't help that they were embarrassed with Zecromac's perverted antics after the battle, leaving the two blushing the entire trip back to the watch tower.
"We were hit hard, he analysed us even during our fight, even to the point where we had no chance of even taking him by surprise" Superman said in defeat, with Green Lantern sporting a plastered arm, a look of annoyance.
"To make it worse he took us all down with only a side arm shotgun" green lantern said with his pride damaged.
"I still don't know why he held back against me and Shayera?" Wonder Woman questioned with a look of anger, getting a nod of agreement from Hawkgirl.
"It shows he doesn't waste strength on the opposite sex" The flash suggested
"No, he held back against us because He respected the opposite gender, I could see it in his eyes, the minute he saw us two they softened to those reflecting regret and sorrow" Wonder woman said with a stern voice.
"But he wasn't above pranking you" Flash said with a raised eyebrow, getting a glare from both females, with him backing down with an audible gulp.
"That doesn't matter for the moment, Batman is currently tracking him down, He'll call us for back up when he needs it, right now we need to recover" Superman said while standing up, grabbing his shoulder with a grunt before they stood up, with their own injuries seen.
Abandoned pier
Batman stood at the entrance with Robin at his side, a sore back from the impact, and a worried look in his eyes at the sounds of screams from the pier, with Batman and Robin running to the source where Robin almost puked at the sight of corpses impaled on anything, with few on the ground in shreds, blood painting the ground and walls a crimson red, with Batman walking forward, ignoring the corpses while focusing on the demonically edged laughter from within above a cry of pain, looking up to see the platform above to see a figure holding a thug above the fall.
"Where is the bastard!" Zecromac questioned with a deep primal growl.
"I don't Know, He never tells anybody where he goes to hide, Please don't kill me!" the thug begged with the figure taking a thinking pose before opening his gripping hand, letting the thug drop to his death until he was caught in chains from above, looking up to see a skull in the light with horns poking out the back.
"Be glad you have a family that cares for you, go be with your wife and child" Zecromac growled before dropping the chain, letting the man dangle harmlessly until he saw Batman, causing him to scream in fear, which was a warning for Zecromac who leaned over to growl with a demonic hiss, leaping upward into the shadows, with Batman staring above while Robin went to help the near traumatised thug, who shook in panic.
"What happened?" Robin questioned with the man shaking further.
"It just changed… l-Like they became rabid animals, just clawing their own eyes out and then charging at us like we were food on an oasis" the man said with Batman frowning under the cowl until he heard a faint howl of hunger, turning around in time to catch a rabid thug, seeing his eyes dangling from the sockets, blood splashing out of his scowling mouth before being thrown, making Robin and the thug stand up in surprise, with the thug running to the exit, running into two possessed thugs who merely ignored him, focusing more on Batman and Robin before they all stopped with a gurgle, reaching for their throats in agony with batman frowning in confusion, before noticing the sickening grin on their faces before their throats extended like a frogs throat before bursting with blood showering over the two, with Robin covering his face with his cape, along with Batman who had horrible memories before shaking himself back to reality, looking over the scene which could be called a blood bath, literally.
With Harley and Ivy
"Do you think he'll be back?" Harley questioned with a tired voice
"I do not know, and because of him I'll have to move my hide out again" Ivy said with a pout, not noticing a window open.
"I'm back!" Zecromac spoke with the two flinching at his sudden arrival, with Zecromac laughing happily before leaping for a couch.
"You really know how to pick 'em Harley" Ivy said with Harley blushing nervously.
