DianaRulz: Oh, yeah, she's around.
Jez: If you're around, I want to know, is Susan Ross an OC? If so, can I borrow her later on?

"Father" Ellie asked. Hamilton looked up. "I've been... troubled lately."
"What do you mean" He asked, sitting back in his chair.
"I don't know, I've just been feeling the weight of what we're doing." She sighed. "Are we doing the right thing? I mean, all this stuff, it seems wrong somehow."
"You're right." He nodded. "It is wrong."
"Then why are we doing it" She asked.
"Because there is no other choice." He answered. He held up a hand to forestall a reply, and touched a button on his desk. There was a flare of light, and hologram appeared. It was a much younger Hamilton, his wife, and the General, who was only a colonel at that time. There was a conversation, then the colonel pulled a gun. While Hamilton wrestled it away from him, it didn't stop the shot that killed his wife. "And with my finger prints on the gun, the colonel was the only one that knew the truth. He's been holding it over me ever since."
"Why don't I kill him for you? Then there won't be anything to make us keep doing this." Ellie offered.
"No, he's set it so if he ever dies, a document goes out fingering me for the murder." He sighed.
"So I'll make him tell me where it is, and how to stop it. I'll destroy them all." She replied. Hamilton smiled.
"Don't worry about it, this is the last experiment we'll do, then I'll deal with him once and for all." He told her. "And you can help me."
"Thank you, father." She answered. They rose, and walked out heading for dinner. In a glass tube in the back, a pair of eyes opened in the suspension solution.

Cyber-naught smiled, feeling the familiar presence of electronics. This was little more than a PDA, but it's wireless connection was connected directly into the computer controlling the prison. Even though the computer itself was beyond the range of his reach the PDA was not. Through it, he connected to the main computer. A few seconds later, the change to his sentence was complete. In three days, he would be out, and free. He leaned back, smiling again, this time, self-satisfied.

The air was chill in Paris at this time of year, Kara smiled. It was the kind of weather, that she adored, whether it was spring or fall. She found her self coming here, if for no other reason than to get away from the painful memories home brought to the surface. He had long refused to even speak of Paris, though exactly why she wasn't sure. Didn't matter, this was the one place on earth where she could be sure she wasn't going to be reminded of him, or the Justice League. The street was almost empty before her, except a few couples wandering along the length of the avenue. She smiled in particular at a red-haired young woman, and a slightly clumsy blond young man.
"A rose young lady" A voice asked to her left. It was an olderman, sitting on a stool beside a flower stand. "First is free to such a beautiful woman."
"Why, thank you." She took the rose, smiling. He smiled back, and waved as she walked away, sniffing at the rose. The crisp air gave way to a warm gust, though exactly where it came from, she couldn't be sure. She simply shook her head, and continued on.

Lantern floated through the air, ring ready, watching for the mutated vulture that he was hunting. Hawkgirl swept past in a holding pattern, as below, B'wana Beast attempted to flush the ugly creature. Suddenly it burst from the foliage, straight in Lantern's face, talons reaching to kill him. The force field protected him, but he couldn't turn his ring to attack it. Hawkgirl solved that, smashing into it with her mace, knocking it away.
"John are you alright" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't let it get away" He lunged forwards after it. She shook her head, and lunged after him. The huge bird, result of an accident with an experimental growth formula, sped away from them, easily out pacing Lantern, and only just staying ahead of Hawkgirl. When B'wana Beast exploded from the foliage, and crashed into it, it lost speed, giving Hawkgirl time to catch up, and drive it to the ground, unconscious. The trees snapped as it landed, leaving it cradled in an accidental nest. The trucks from the lab it had broken out of pulled up a short time later.
"I hope you intend on sedating that thing." Hawkgirl grunted.
"Yeah, we'll put it under for transport." The lead scientist nodded.

"Hey bats." Joker grinned. "Long time, no smell."
"Miss the memo" Batman asked. Joker blinked.
"What memo" He queried.
"This one" Wonder Woman growled, smashing into him from the side. He stumbled off to the side, caught a chain, and swung out into the air. A moment later, a batarang snapped the chain, sending him falling to the ground. He hit, rolled, and came to his feet, straight into a face he recoiled from. The Creeper flipped down, and landed facing him.
"Hiya old buddy, old pal." He grinned. Joker laughed nervously.
"Heh heh, hiya." He swallowed. "S-so, I'll just be going now then." He spun and took only one step, finding him self face to face with Wonder Woman. He lifted a hand to point at her ample cleavage. "So, do you use those to land planes? Or are they just decorations" She knocked him to the ground. He lifted his head. "Thought so." There was a thud.
"He should have known better than to insult Commander Cleavage." Creeper giggled, dancing away from Wonder Woman's attempt to separate him at the waist. Batman intervened, stopping her from pursuing the matter. She glanced at him, but decided to grab the back of Joker's jacket instead. She turned and lifted away with him. Batman glared at Creeper.
"Why don't you go wait for that patch to kick in." He grunted, and walked away. Creeper gave him the finger,and lunged up to the catwalk.

"I'm going to have to say, no." Flash sighed.
"Why? I'm offering you a chance to become invincible." The hooded person asked. "I am, and I'm willing to share with you."
"Invincible? I think not." He grinned, and lunged, tackling Dancer out of the costume. She giggled as they hit the sand of the beach.
"I'm glad we decided on this vacation." She grinned.
"Mainly, because the last one got interrupted." He grinned. She laughed, and pushed him, rolling him, but he carried her with him.
"Much better." She grinned, and kissed him.

"Can you answer a question for me" Adam asked Death. She glanced at him.
"I'll have to hear the question before I can tell you the answer." She replied. He blinked, processing that.
"How can you do this job, without losing it" He asked after a moment.
"Because it is my job, what I was born to do. No one else can do it, and I am the best suited person anyway." She replied.
"I mean without losing control of your emotions. I know you have them. How can you stay in control of those emotions, and not break down." He replied, shaking his head.
"Oh, I simply release them into another more productive force." She replied. "For example I use sorrow to move through the barriers between this world, and the others. Anger is what keeps me invisible. The stress lets me channel the others."
"Oh." He replied, and returned to his contemplation of the remarkable sight that only he could see, much in the manner only she and Dream could see him. She didn't know if Destruction could or not, but she didn't know how to find him. She blinked.
"Adam" She spoke his name. He turned from what ever it was.
"Yes" He asked.
"Can you find someone for me" She asked.
"Who" He asked.
"My brother, Destruction." She answered. He stared for a moment, then laughed.
"Why find him? He's all around us." He slipped his arm from her grasp, he'd offered it to her again a few stops ago, and brought his hands sharply together. There was a flare of light, and Destruction stood before them.
"How did you do that" He asked, looking around. "Death? Who is this" He thrust a finger in Adam's face. Before she could answer, Adam bit Destructions finger. "Ow." He recoiled, nursing the finger.
"His name is Adam. He's appearently very weird." She glared at him, but he'd returned to his contemplation of whatever it was. "I don't know much about him, except that he comes from earth. Daniel knows more, but he won't tell me." She grunted.
"Daniel" Destruction asked. She snorted.
"Dream, the succesor to Morpheus." She informed him. He nodded.
"Destiny couldn't tell you anything" He asked. Death shook her head.
"No, he, and the others, couldn't see him. Only the three of us. You, Dream, and I, can see him. And he's seeing something I can't." She sighed. "I don't know what to do."
"He won't cross over" Destruction asked. She nodded. "Odd, maybe there's something on earth that's keeping him. Has it happened before" She shook her head. Destruction turned to Adam. "What are you looking at" He asked.
"You can't see it either" Adam asked. Destruction shook his head. "Then I'm not sure how to describe it. It's almost as if I'm being called to it."
"Go to the light" Death commanded from behind Adam. He rolled his head back and blinked at her.
