Chapter 4 Intrusion
Sometimes the simple things in life can make your troubles go away, children playing basketball, discussing how could pass their exams, or talking about who was dating who. Simple was what Logan found the most endearing in the world despite itself not lasting as long as he wants it to be he learned a long time to treasure the moment. Just seeing the kids being themselves always brought a smile to Logan's face.
Finishing the last touches on his motorcycle couldn't help but feel a large amount pride swell in him for what he was doing for these children, being a teacher was one of the greatest occupations he ever had in his life . Turning his sights to the far away area of the x-mansion two graves were stationed one was of Professor Charles Xavier the very man who assembled his team of people fighting for equality between humans and mutants. The second was of Jean Grey one of the founding X-men team members and host to one of the most powerful entities in the universe, also the woman he developed feelings for.
Logan released a heavy sigh as he recollected when Xavier was still alive despite exceeding the paraplegic mans age his wisdom and beliefs were something that Canadian took to heart not to mention he was the one who tried to help him regain his lost memories Logan was in debt to Xavier for everything he tried to do for him the only thing he could do was to keep the X-men going.
Jean Grey was a very kind woman who was practically the peace keeper of them all from the moment he laid his eyes on her Logan couldn't deny that he had fallen in love with red haired woman. The only problem that stood in his way was devotion to Scott Summers, this caused conflict between the two men it didn't matter in the long run since both of them couldn't have Jean after what happened with the Phoenix Logan came to the realization that weren't meant to be.
Even though Scott found new happiness with Emma Logan could tell that he was still mourning over Jean considering how he would sneak out at night and stand over her grave stone. At least he had someone to settle down with despite it being an old enemy. Logan still found it difficult to trust the arrogant telepath but she had proven her worth over time.
"Hey old man." Looking away from the gravesite Logan immediately saw Jubilee walking towards a bright smile lighting her young face as if everything was right in the world.
"Hey kid." He responded causing the Asian mutant to playfully stick her tongue at him. Logan had to had back a chuckle knowing that she hated when referred n that term though considering how she darted her tongue at him he couldn't call her anything else.
"Can't believe after all this time you still ride that old beater." Jubilee practically teased trying to get an annoyed rise out of him.
Logan only smirked. "I could say the same 'bout yer glasses." That counter statement was enough to make the young girl pout.
Grabbing a cloth to wipe the transmission fluid off his hands the Canadian stood to his full height to study the girl he had looked after for years. Logan had to admit Jubilee had definitely changed since she joined the X-men she wasn't impulsive as she once was always heading into the first sign of danger allowing her self to be overconfident in her abilities . Logan had to teach her not to allow her power outweigh her wits because it was a sure easy way to get her killed.
In due time she'll be capable becoming a team leader one day assigning anyone missions Logan would be proud of Jubilee when she accomplished this. It was strange a like him who has killed many people in his life she didn't see him as a beast with razor sharp claws, she saw him as a man willing to do what was right.
"Shouldn't you be playin' with the rest of the students." Logan inquired not the he minded her company he was just curious.
Jubilee groaned "I would but mostly there all just gibber jabbering about who is cute, or how to swipe test answers from Beasts room bla, bla, bla."
Logan stared at her with a raised eyebrow maybe being a hero has had a mature affect on her more than it should have.
"Looks like someone's grown into a woman." Logan commented as he crossed his arms. The honesty in those words was enough to make the half Asian girl blush with praise.
Jubilee rubbed her head in embarrassment. "Well I had a great teacher."
"Well I try my best." His response was nonchalant but the expression on Logan's face said differently.
"Not only that..."She murmurs softly. "Your also a great fathe..."
BOOM!
An unexpected explosion knocked both Logan and Jubilee off of their feet and hitting the ground on impact knocking the wind out of both of them, though Logan recovered quickly but the vocalization was incredibly loud it caused Logan's ear drums to ring. Trying his best not to allow the disorientation to disrupt his brain Logan scanned the area he saw a giant flame spread almost through out the court area, many of the students were running for their lives.
Groggily getting to his feet Logan spotted several individuals proceeding through the flame instantly picking up their scent Logan knew exactly who they were. Sabretooth, Silver Samurai, Bullseye, Absorbing man, Wizard, Doctor octopus, and Scorpion were all lined up in rows as if they were a battalion ready for a war.
Logan turned his attention to Jubilee who seemed to be okay for the moment but he didn't know how long that moment would last with her being out here. Jubilee might have had some experience but these were top level enemies... she last a second against them.
"Jubilee go with the rest of the students and seal all of the exits." Jubilee saw the look in Logan's eyes the look he had when he was going to let loose everything he had.
"But Logan.."
"This ain't up for debate get to the mansion and call the others!" Logan practically roared there was no time for arguing
Jubilee found herself agreeing with him this wasn't a protest this was an order. She ran into the mansion leaving the lone man to fend for himself against the numerous amount of foes that stood before him, Logan knew that the odds were stacked against him but he had to protect the students. Logan's fierce gaze was enough to make a majority of the scum blood run cold because this wasn't Captain America or Spiderman they were dealing with.
It was Wolverine.
"Well Well runt..." Sabretooth taunted as licked his finger tipped claws. "Looks like I'll be getting my fill after all."
"If you all would be so kind... "Logan clenched his fists as a distinct 'SNIKT' was heard. "GET THE HELL OFF MY PROPERTY!"
Bursting fourth Logan prepared himself to give these men the hell they deserved. Silver Samurai obliged him by swinging his katana in a vertical swipe the predictable move allowed Logan to leap and dive himself directly into the samurai chest as his claws plunged through his solar plexus driving them to the ground. Pulling out his left fist Logan was prepared to end it. He soon felt a large amount of weight tackle him.
Sabretooth subdued his long time foe by driving his face head first into the concrete holding him down, other villains soon followed suit creating a pile on top of the man. Keeping him down as if he were an uncaged animal there was so much pressure that Logan could barely breathe he wondered where the rest of the X-men were he half expect Cyclops to save him and rub it in his face.
'Where the hell is everyone?!' The thought most likely was running in over Logan's head where ever his teammates were.
Logan was not in a good position struggling seemed impossible despite him being capable of lifting of a ton his arms and legs were incapacitated. Growling through his clenched teeth, Logan had only one option; give into his berserker rage.
'Hate given into this side 'o myself but there's no other choice.' Logan took his mind into a very dark place it was the only way for him to revert his mind into its animalistic state.
He began to envision his the students, his teammates, his family all of them being slaughtered by these sadistic people.
Cyclops being cut in half by Silver Samurai.
Storm having knife lodged into her heart by Bullseye.
Gambit neck snapped by Absorbing man.
Psylocke straggled to death by Dr. Octopus.
Emma having her throat slit by Sabretooth.
Nightcrawler having acid leaked all over him from Scorpion.
Colossus having a gaping hole in his abdomen from a energy beam from wizard.
But the worst of all...Jubilee was caught in the very explosion, her body was scorched to a crisp, her hand was held out in a pleading way her screams echoed through all through the area.
Logan's vision began to instantly turn red...blood red his mind went blank, his heart rate and pulse began to pound in his ears, his muscles tightens through his entire body. His facial features began to scrunch with a ferocious look and his teeth were barred. A monster had been uncaged .In a amazing feet of feet of strength Logan pushed his body upward causing the pile of enemies to fly off of him, their expressions read fear as to what was to come .
The last thing they heard was a very loud 'RRRRRAAAAAHHHH' bursting out of the man mouth as he charged forth like a rabid wolf preparing to kill, which is exactly the intention of the enraged man. Wizard didn't last long as three pair of adamantium claws pierced his brain, Logan moved towards his next victim as Scorpion was petrified to act as both of his arms were separated from his body with well executed downward slice from the seemingly mad Canadian.
It didn't matter what they did once Logan was in this state it was impossible to stop him your signing your death warrant in a way. Limbs fell, laceration were everywhere, the odor of blood was in the air all this was caused by one man...or maybe an animal.
Heavy breathing was the only sound left in the wake of mangled bodies Logan frame of mind returned to it's normal place, he was standing within the middle of the devastation of his own handiwork. He felt great...he felt sick.
His entire clothing was soaked in blood from top to bottom he never told anyone but the smell always made him want to empty his stomach. Logan's eyes slightly lost there ferocity as he stood to his full height he retracted his claws and gazed up at the sky with a relieved expression his home was safe but more importantly his friends and family were alive.
"W-why? "That wheezed tone of voice was enough to snap him back to reality his eyes widen as he began to slowly look downward at the voice he hope he didn't hear.
"Mein freund why have you done this?" That very German accent caused Logan mouth to open in horror. Nightcrawler was holding his abdomen in a tight grasp trying to prevent himself from bleeding out. Logan couldn't believe his eyes.
"Logan this is madness." Hank legs were completely gone blood seeping out.
"Ngh I knew your rage would lead to our downfall." Ororo skull had three impalement marks in them her silver white was almost in her blood.
"How could Jean ever have feelings for someone like you." Scotts head was decapitated from his shoulders the insanity was its ability to maintain speech.
"Charles should've wiped your mind clean if he wouldn't do it then I should have." Emma arms were no longer attached to her body her tone didn't have its usual conceit it was more pained.
Colossus, Psylocke and Gambit could barely get any words out other than their groans of agony were heard as both of them had deep cuts at their throats .
"How could you?" This was the very voice Logan dreaded to hear he didn't want to turn around, he didn't want to. But his body wouldn't obey his thoughts.
Logan's breath was held deeply in his chest from the sight of the person he cared for the most as he saw both of Jubilee's eyes gouged out of their sockets. The shock caused Logan to panic, hands started to shake as well as his legs he fell to his knees in the of the bloody pool. Those he had loved had been taken away from him by his own hands.
The corpses started to rise from including Beast who stationary on his dismembered legs Logan's state of shock was to intense that he didn't notice his friends bodies capability of being able to stand from their fatal wounds. Their lip started to move in they were mumbling something from out their mouths but Logan's was beating in his ears to the point where he couldn't here the blood dripping from his claws hitting the concrete ground.
The lips continued its movement but Logan still couldn't hear anything but the voices were becoming louder to the point of where he could.
You
You an ani
Your an animal
"AAHHHH!" Awakening from one of the most horrific nightmares he had ever experienced Logan sprang forth from his sleep with a roar that could almost spread through the entire Watchtower. His breathing was erratic, his eyes were incredibly wide, and sweat cascading from his brow from the mental trauma he had to endure.
Logan tried to calm down his breathing taking each everyone one with care as his entire body began to quiver from the nightmare he knew was inevitable for him to have. As his shoulders finally relaxed the mutant did a scan of the entire area, a small metallic room with four energy beam bars causing Logan to remember where he was.
Swinging his legs to the floor Logan replayed the dream in his mind even though he didn't want to, but he had to face the consequences of what he had done. It didn't matter if Mysterio manipulated him with illusions the fact of the matter is he killed the X-men their very blood was practically soaked his entire body created a lump in his throat.
Running a hand through his hair Logan started to think of his predicament the very predicament that landed him on this earth. Logan never expected to be transported to a different plain of existence, a part of him regretted making the decision of being sent here he should've just stayed within the forest laid in the grass and allowed the wolves to chew on his remains no matter how much he healed.
Clenching his fists Logan could still feel his body shaking with grief he had never hated himself more than he ever had before until now. Suddenly blinking Logan something within the palm of his hand, he opened it slowly only for the feeling of surprise to hit him. He was currently in the possession of holding Jubilee's pink sunglasses. His mouth and eyes were agape as to how this appeared in his hand without noticing, Logan didn't remember picking them up when strolled out of the mansion his subconscious must've allowed him to take them without his knowledge.
Sadness graced Logan's face as he realized that he would miss the family that had accepted him but now he hoped he would spend the rest of his years in this cell until died of old age, he didn't know how long it would take for his time to come but it would eventually. The reflection of his face appeared in the glasses lens what he saw shadow of a person he once was perhaps all this time many of them were right maybe he was nothing but a beast.
His saddened eyes gazed into his fist this very fist held one of the most deadliest weapons to ever wield, these very weapons that took everything he had ever cared for. Many had fallen from his claws and never lived to tell the tale despite him being the only one who was willing to permanently deal with there enemies Logan would never in his life kill the people he considered family. Especially one he considered his daughter.
Raising his fist to the center of his chin Logan prepared to pierce his brain in order to get rid of the images he didn't want to be reminded of what he did over and over. He wished that it would kill him but that would be hoping for something he wanted most within his life, Uatuh sent him here to find a second chance. How could a second chance be achieved after what he had done?! Logan had learned a long time that you reap what you sow.
That's when a scent entered into Logan's nostrils preventing his action someone was coming was heading in his direction. Since he was on a different earth he didn't know any of the pheromones from the people in this space station Logan could only turn his head to electric bars, there is only one pathway that lead to this cell the only person that has access to this location was J'onn. But this smell is a mix of peach and strawberry perfume this was obviously not the scent of a male but that of a woman.
The person came into Logan's view causing him to blink in surprise he didn't think that she would come here seeing as to how he was a prisoner. The girl slowly sat down to the floor while bringing her knees closely to her chest her posture resemble that of a naïve teenager.
"League members don't know I'm here." She assured. "So we can chit chat for as long as we want." Her smile brightened the entire silent area of the holding cells.
Logan smiled back though it wasn't as enormous as the girls. "I guess we do."
Kara's optimistic grin burned out the guilty thoughts in Logan's mind impaling his brain was far away from it at the time being. Kara began to speak while Logan just sat and listened.
Washington DC was a state where many politicians rallied their views for who was right to rule the country either if it was for the people or for their own selfish accomplishments. Some people believed that the god like people hovering over their heads in the outer reaches of space would eventually turn against them if ever the power they wield would go to their heads.
Gaining the public trust wasn't easy to gain especially when you were once considered a criminal in the eyes of many but having an amass amount of wealth could aid you well in the world of politics. Having power doesn't always come from being able fly and lift buildings with the tip of your finger power could come from being able to control the views of others.
Lex Luthor understood this well the way how many could easily be controlled by mere words, how logic and reasoning were rarely used within the society of mortal men and women. But those who were above the world of these could use these concepts as if the gods knew better than the ones below them, Lex had to many encounters with gods with their vision of righteousness mainly the one in a certain red cape.
Lex stood behind the window of his office gazing at the outside with a soulless glint in his eyes just staring at the people passing by attending to their so called lives as they see it. Fools who believed anything if anyone with higher power would say anything to the media. Lex couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
The front double doors were suddenly forced open by a strong yet slight push, many would knock or announce themselves before they entered within the presence of Lex Luthor but this individual wasn't so easily intimidated. She was an African American woman wearing a blue suit and skirt her body was heavy set with a 5'6' height range. She had the stride of a person who shouldn't cross no matter how tough you appeared, she glared at the back bald man as if she was desperately trying to burn a whole through his back.
"Waller." He addressed in a nonchalant tone as if he expected her arrival.
Agitated by monotone stance Amada tried everything she could to keep her anger in check. "Who the hell in Cadmus gave you the right to administer super soldiers against the Justice League?!' She demanded with a pointed finger. Even though her and Luthor had the same views of how the Justice League would go mad with power she didn't exactly enjoy collaborating with this man. Just their enemy Lex only goal in life was to strive for power the type of power that could leave the world in shambles due to is egotistical ways.
"Hamilton was on board for the project much of S.T.A.R LABS technology were necessary." Luthor responded despite his company having an impressive amount of technology none of it was fit for genetics research.
"You might be the president of the United States but that doesn't give you the authority order one of my top scientist without my consent." Wallers tone was hard as steel Lex operating behind her back wasn't something she appreciated.
Glancing over his shoulder Lex smirked at his partner. "Of course Amanda I'll see to it next time that you will be well informed."
Amada expression was filled with scorn she turned and exited the office slamming the doors as if to implicate her anger further leaving Lex alone again.
Clasping his behind his back in thought the billionaire tried to think of way to finally eliminate the league so that earths champion could finally kneel before him but as usual the task wasn't as simple as it sounded. No matter what he tried the 'heroes' always managed to thwart his efforts despite his genius planning. Lex casted his eyes to the teleporting hacking device he just recently created.
It was capable of being able to hack into the Watchtowers transporters all it took was simply locating a traceable signal within the towers computer systems. Lex picked up the device it was small but efficient it was similar to the Justice League communicators considering how tecnology was almost exactly the same.
Lex never had chance to use the device because opportunity didn't present itself but it would seem now was his chance. In order for him to have a sutable army needed DNA samples the last requirement for his project. Pressing the intercom beneath his desk couldn't help but grin as he knew his plan wouldn't fail.
"Yes boss?" The voice said.
"I have a mission for you and your team."
"I'm so happy for you Kal." Diana wrapped her arms around the Kryptonian in a heart felt hug.
Clark couldn't help but feel happiness explode in his chest. "Thank you Diana I can't believe it either."
"When will the event begin?" The amazon inquired though estatic her curiosity was overwhelming the feeling.
"The wedding will start in three weeks."Superman informed he could hardly believe it. He was being married to one the Daily Planets greatest and most beautiful reporters. Clark was usually a patient man but since him and Lois were finally going to seal the deal he had sudden urge to fly circles around the earth and yell it to the entire universe.
Lois and Clarks relationship had been growing since they met it always started as a cycle the tenacious is determined to uncover the truth behind the story she gets herself into a bind with no way out, the mild mannered man would come to her rescue in a heroic fashion then news could write all sorts of stories about it. Clark eventually told Lois he was the powerful alien who came from a destroyed home world but a part of him had suspiciouns that she knew. Her skills as a reporter exceeded his so it was a possibility. Perhaps she didn't want to jump any conclusions.
But that didn't matter now the woman he loved would become his wife it would be one of the greatest moments in his life. All of the league member were aware of wedding so the preparations were underway as everyone began buying expensive tuxedo and dresses.
"Congradulations Kent." Batman gratitude was nice but not much due to his attention being stuck to the monitors.
Superman smirked and crossed his arms. "You almost sound happy for me Batman. " Batman didn't give a response he continued working on the monitors.
"Kal can I have a word with you...in private?" Wonder Woman gave a subtle look to the glass window which was far away from where Batman was sitting. Superman raised his eyebrow in questioning but nodded none the less.
The two walked over to the window until Batman was earshot though with it was hard to tell whether you could keep anything private when it came to the detective. Reaching the private location Diana wanted to be clear of what she had to say, thankfully the kryptonian was never the type person to rush others. Superman placed a gentle hand on her shoulder putting the Amazon slightly at ease.
"What is it Diana." He asked in a concerned tone.
Diana sighed. "Its Bruce." She admitted.
"What did he do?" Superman knew that Bruce was a difficult person to be around, the man always wanted to do things on his own no matter how many time others offered to help him in Gotham. But he would always avoid others in his attempt to shut everyone out.
"Hearing that you and Lois would finally live the rest of your lives together made me think of how me and Bruce would live." She explained turning her head to see if she had his undivided attention she continued. "But lately something has been telling me that...it's hard to place into words." Diana wrapped her arms around herself to quell the sensation of uneasiness she had been experiencing lately.
"It's best if you don't think about it I know Bruce can be a little withdrawn but trust me when he's ready he'll propose." The kryptonian assured he wanted the both of them to be happy but it would seem that Batman was once again pushing away from him.
Diana smiled at her teammates kindness. "Thank you Kal."
"What are friends for."
"Not much when one of them provide can't for the other." The voice made Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman's hearts stop in mid beat what sped it up was the gun shot that was fired. The target fell to his knees holding his chest his eyes were widen with shock and pain, he soon fell limp to the ground.
"Kryptonite bullet works every time." The mercenary known as Deadshot taunted blowing out the steam from his gun gauntlets, alongside him were Cheetah, Bane, Metallo, Killer Frost, Giganta, Solomon Grundy, and Shade. The injustice League has Invaded the watchtower.
"ALL REMAIING LEAGUE MEMBERS REPORT TO MAIN HALL!" Batman roared into the mic until he was assaulted by a hail of bullets by Deadshot. He quickly reacted by seeking cover behind the large monitor.
"BATMAN!" Wonder Woman quickly rushed to save the cape crusader but was quickly intercepted by Giganta as she snagged her out of the air due to her ability to enhance her size to tremendous heights. She easily tossed the Amazon to a nearby wall putting her completely through it.
Metallo methodically walked over to the downed Kryptonian Superman's breathing was so ragged it was as if je was trying to catch the very air he didn't need to live off of. The Kryptonite was lodged in his solar plexus if weren't for his superhuman durability the green remnant would have gone through his entire body. John Corbon wanted nothing more then to end his life but as usual orders from the president were not to be ignored.
Raising his hand in the air Metallos finger formed a syringe laced with Kryptonite liquid at the tip he pierced at his jugular causing Superman to slightly wince. Clark wasn't going to lay here and rest on his back gathering enough strength he swung his fist at the temple of the psychopathic cyborg causing him to be thrown across the room. Struggling to his feet the man of steel flew after his foe.
Batman was still taking cover behind the monitor but he couldn't remain their forever rolling from his position the Dark knight retaliated with highly skilled throw from his batarang. Deadshot knocked the deadly swirling weapon out of the air with a well placed bullet this only left him wide open as Batman rushed him grabbing both of his arms and tossing him over his shoulder. The mercenaries back hit the ground with enough force to knock the air out of his lungs.
Bane soon charged by ramming his large shoulder into the detective, the detectives ribs connected with metal railing despite wearing Kevlar he could feel a bruise.
"As much I would love to break you again my orders are clear." Bane stated cracking the bones in his twelve inch sized fist.
"I never took you for the type to work for politics Bane." Batman retorted as he held his bruised side. He was pressed against the railing by the Spaniards large boot.
"As long as it gets me to face you I won't judge the nature of political power." Bane usually followed a moral code even he didn't enjoy being a lapdog to Luthors gain but since his hitman like ways allowed him to up a job with the right amount of pay he wouldn't turn down the offer. And the President payment was incredibly large.
Taking out a syringe from his belt Bane immediately pressed it against Batman's jugular vein causing blood flow inside the plastic tube Batman grimaced at the pain of his ribs being pressed against metal not to mention the needle inside the sensitive section of his neck. Satisfied he had enough he grabbed the vigilantes cape and tossed him to the far way ground.
Wonder Woman shook her head trying to get her mind back to focus, just in time as Cheetah descended from the air with quick deadly slashes with her claws Diana defended herself against the swipes with her bracelets. Sparks flew in the air as the former geneticist lashed out with pure hate for the Amazon, Wonder Woman countered by blocking Cheetahs arm with her own and followed up with an uppercut to Cheetah evaded with a backflip.
"You haven't lost your touch Diana I know that much." Cheetah complimented with a smirk showing her crystal clear fangs.
Wonder Woman wasn't in the mood for idle discussion. "Why are you doing this Barbra?
"Money Diana what else so I can reverse this hideous thing that is my appearance." Cheetah words were filled with anger but there was also a hint of sadness that Wonder Woman detected.
Aiding Luthor won't get you treatment you want if you would have me help you I could save you from this torture." Wonder Woman reasoned with soft spoken words though she still maintained combative stance.
"Always the peaceful route with you." Barbra snorted while shaking her head in disbelief of course she wouldn't admit this but she always admired the honorable quality the Amazon possessed.
Cheetah charged again Wonder Woman prepared herself for another battle wanting turning the tide she struck first with a well timed knee thrust to which Cheetah evaded leaving the princesses curled leg exposed. Barbra acted by a fast swipe cut with her tipped claws, it was deep to the point where blood smeared sharp protrusion, Diana how ever did not flinch whatsoever she was trained to endure she was a warrior after all.
Just then a gigantic fist came from the wall prompting to crush the amazon Wonder Woman was ready how ever Diana was prepared for that and halted the plummeting fist with her god given strength.
Superman traded blows with the metallic menace though he knew it was doing so little his vision was blurry and it was like the life was being drained from his very core because of the kryptonite imbedded in his chest. It was only worse when Metallo shined another spare of it within his chest plate, Superman tried to press forward with a right hook only for his enemy to grab the punch with his hand.
Metallo bent twisted the wrist placing the man of steel on his knees again the cyborg followed with brutal fists the aliens jaw repeatedly but of course the hero would not fall. Even with kryptonite in his chest he would not fall.
"You just don't know when to quit do you Superman." Metallo remarked as he readied his fist again.
The kryptonian blue eyes began to glow red of solar energy, with every ounce of power he could muster Superman flared his heat vision at the metal monster fleeing him through the wall.
"No I don't." Superman's weariness was slightly gone but not much he placed his hand on the nearby wall to steady himself he had to figure out a way to get the kryptonite out of him.
His thoughts were interrupted by a powerful force ramming his skull inside the nearby wall, then again pressing Superman through it. His sight caught the form of the hulking corpse of Solomon Grundy pounding him into him into the ground, the Zombies power was nowhere near Superman's but he didn't want the creature destroying their headquarters.
Superman body was caving into the floor with each strike that was delivered to him if he could only get the kryptonite away from him. That's when a green field of energy trapped the immortal beast within its confines, with a mighty pull he was tossed away from the man of steel.
Green Lantern floated down to his fallen teammate using his will power to construct a pair of small green tweezers he carefully lifted the small green rock. J'onn phased from the ground and grabbed the green remnant crushing with his martian strength.
"Are you injured Superman." J'onn asked concerned for the kryptonian he was exposed to the kryptonite for a very long period.
"I'm fine just need a couple of seconds." Breathing in deeply the hole inside his chest instantly healed thanks to the solar radiation of the sun.
Batman tried struggling to his feet but sore ribs wouldn't allow it Bane simply headed over towards the wounded vigilante a vicious smile plastered on the enormous Spaniard. Grasping his throat and left leg Bane raised Batman over his head preparing him for what earned him his title of the man who broke the bat, but now it would seem his title would be even more respected in Gotham of being able to break him twice.
He would've executed it if a seventy miles per hour arrow detaching the venom tubes from his skull. Bane size began to decrease along with his muscle mass to the point where he couldn't support Batman's weight over his head, a red blur zipped a top of the masked villain surprising him greatly. He turned around only to be greeted by a green boot coming in close to his face.
Flash gently placed Batman against the wall knowing he was injured. "You okay bats?"Batman groaned but pushed the scarlet speedster away slightly he walked over to Bane to hand cuff him.
"I'm sure he's fine." Oliver assures Flash as he notice the incredulous expression on his face, he didn't blame him for it he was also on the receiving end of Batman's cold shoulder.
"I will crush you witch!" Giganta rage was placed well into foot as brought it down on the Amazon Diana braced herself incoming impact by raising her arm in cross guard.
"Ugh and it's like I'm always being treated like a child." Kara complained and ranted for the whole forty minutes she had been down in the holding cells balling out her problems to a man she had just met two days prior.
Logan just sat in silence listening to the girls go on about how her colleague treat her like an annoying little brat who didn't know what she was doing out in the field. 'Superman' he believed the name she had given him were along the relation of cousins, he also noticed how she didn't give him his real name in fear having a person they didn't fully trust having knowledge of their identity. Meaning the girl wasn't completely careless.
From what he could understand their relationship seem to be at a low point due to a position of chairmen of the 'Justice League' but her cousin didn't want in that position of leadership. From Kara's point of view it seemed she wanted to be seen in the same league as Superman but she isn't aware of the responsibility from Superman perspective it looked protecting her from the amount weight she have to carry but he had to realize that she isn't a four year old and playing father must be frustrating on her part.
In many ways they both were right and wrong.
Kara ran her hand through her blonde to alleviate her stress. "Logan what do you think?" Her expression held a lot of desperation probably in hopes that he her side of the story.
Sighing through his nose Logan prepared himself to give Kara his answer she might not like it but she would have to accept it.
"Well kid, the way I see it..." Logan would've been able to give the girl his advice if the ceiling didn't give in debris fell from above landing on top of the female kryptonion.
The crash causes the cell that Logan was confined into shorted out but the force of the crash was powerful enough to throw him to faraway wall his back slamming into it. Catching his baring's Logan could only stare at the amount of rubble that buried her beneath it which could've instantly killed her, Logan's face twisted into mixture of horror and sadness he didn't even know Kara for long and already she was lying in her grave.
Bowing his head in remorse Logan could do nothing more but bow his head in shame, he couldn't save her just like Jubilee.
But the sound of moving metal quickly disbanded those emotions as well as the thoughts flowing through him. The metal was easily lifted off of the ground by none other Kara Zor-El, Logan was amazed despite the heavy material falling on her entire body there was no sign of any type of bruising and she didn't appear to have any broken bones. These Justice League people were just full of surprises.
Diana picked herself up from the ground the stomp was powerful but it wasn't anything she could handle, her eyes drifted to Supergirl who was laying on her knees trying shaking her skull like if she was trying to figure out what hit her.
Placing her hand on the blondes shoulder Wonder Woman kneeled beside her. "Are you alright Supergirl?" Her concern brought Kara out of her daze.
"Yeah what going on?"
"The Injustice League has compromised our base." She stated to the young woman a part of her was curious as to why down here but she took those thoughts out of her mind. The battle up above was more important.
"What how?!" Kara exclaimed with widen eyes.
"How and why are irrelevant right now what we require is your help." Her voice held power that couldn't be disobeyed if there was a battle going on up top it needed to be stopped. Wonder Woman ascended to the air to resume her fight with Giganta.
Supergirl was not far behind if these guys came here for a butt whooping then that's what she'll give them. She almost forgot about the person who just sitting in his cell listening to her babble on about her family issues from what she could gather when he laying in the medical wing he was from another earth like Karen. No matter how you looked at his uniform even if it was torn to pieces it was one of a hero in her book.
She walked into the newly destroyed confinement unit to where laid sitting she lifted him to his feet without so much of a heave, surprising Logan with the amount of power the girl had at her disposal. She looked him in his eyes silently asking him for his help.
"Will you help us?" She pleaded causing Logan to feel reluctant on his response he didn't know any of these people not to mention after what he had done he didn't know if he had it him to fight anymore. Fighting using his cla-
"Please?" She pleaded again tearing at Logan's heartstrings she wanted to help her teammates people she had known to the point of becoming her family. Logan may not know any of them but he had time to get to know one of them. A powerful girl willing to protect the ones she cared for.
Logan nodded in acceptance "Alright kid just get us their fast."
Kara wrapped her arms around his ribs levitating off of the ground once again surprising Logan he never thought that she could fly to. Finally reaching the top what they saw was absolute carnage majority of the main deck was almost destroyed Logan and Kara spotted the heroes being enveloped in a green energy field created by Green Lantern they were being hailed down Deadshot who was firing off multiple shot of bullets.
Supergirl fired a blast of red beams from her eyes melting the assassins gun gauntlets she zoomed in on them knocking all of the hired menaces back giving Green Lantern time to lower his shield. Supergirl landed in front of her teammates.
"Supergirl where were..."
"Doesn't matter we need to get these bozos out tower." She interrupted the man of steel now was not the time for Clarks lectures.
Batman gaze shifted to the one person he dreaded seeing here. "What's he doing here?!"
Everyone saw that the prisoner was out and about which answered Superman's question as to where she was but why she was down there was something that lingered in his mind.
Supergirl briefly stared at second then back at her teammates. "He's here to help us." Her tone was stern along with her expression showcasing she was honest with her claim.
"We can't trust hi-" Batman tried to remind them all for their irresponsibility but was stopped when Superman placed a hand on is shoulder.
"Batman at the moment we need all the help we can get." He reasoned not wanting a feud to be created now since their in the midst of things.
"We need to create a diversion from the rear so we can move into a offensive position." Wonder Woman suggested it was the only strategy that was on their side.
Flash grinned. "Leave that to me." With that he blurred in behind them in an instant. "Hey over here." Of course there backs turned leaving them wide open.
The heroes pressed forward overpowering the enemy from the back not giving them time to react what happened. Logan could only watch as these people operated in unison against their foes one aided the other, they had each others back, knowing their strength and weaknesses working as one willing not to stand down within the face of adversity.
For the briefest of moments Logan could've sworn he saw the X-men in front of him.
The feeling of a hand clasping his shoulder snapped him out his hallucination he turned his sights at the clear red eyes of Martian Manhunter. One of the first to ever say a word to him.
The jade alien only smiled at the man. "Will you join us."
"Yes." Logan answered without a second hesitation. He gave Kara his word.
Both men headed in the direction of the battle J'onn assisted Superman with Metallo while Logan headed after Deadshot. The assassin didn't have any spare fire arms with him he always thoughts hand guns were beneath him but whoever this man was he looked like a homeless bum that the league picked up at an alley way, didn't matter Floyd met the man head on as he threw a fist to the mans face the result...was the searing pain coursing through his fingers.
"AAAHHH!" He screamed as he pulled his hand,.
What the hell?! Was this guy a meta human with superhuman durability if he had struck any harder than he intended his fingers would've been shattered. He didn't have time to register the fist coming at his face, once it did it knocked him to the ground cracking the steel mask across his face.
Just by staring down at him Logan could tell the man was a hired gun it was a good thing Kara destroyed those gun gauntlets he had never seen anyone utilize use a firearm to this extent. If anything this man was adaptable. But in close quarters he wasn't much of a threat.
Logan looked over to see how the others were doing it didn't look to good, both her and Superman were engaged in combat with a machine they looked completely ill to the point of the retreating the glowing green rock imbedded in his chest was the obvious guess. Logan's face grimaced when he saw Kara getting hurt by that green stone whatever it was he going to rip it out.
He rushed over in time to J'onn trying to save them, quickly reacting the cyborgs arm morphed into a flame thrower he aimed and showered the martian in fire. J'onn screamed in fear as he dropped to the ground in a ball of flame as Metallo kept blasting him with fire not to mention the Kryptonite had both Superman and Supergirl immobilized.
"Looks like I get to kill two birds with one stone." He turned his head to the screaming Martian. "And one martian with fire." If his mouth could move he'd be grinning.
Metallo celebration was didn't last long when a "SNIKT' was heard his arm instantly separated from his shoulder along with his flamethrower, his optics saw three well sharpen metal knives giving him the answer at to what cut his arm. But that was impossible no blade on earth was strong enough to cut through his alloy. His slowly shifted up to a muscled arm to the face of an enraged man. If he had a heart it would be beating to where it would explode.
Logan drove his clawed fist deep into the metal menaces chest causing the kryptonite to shatter into pieces powering down Metallo. Logan pulled his hand out cyborgs chest causing it to drop in a heap, he looked down at his hand in disgust because of how had to resort using his adamantium claws the very weapon that slaughtered the X-men.
Both Superman and Supergirl both recovered from their ill induced state Clark though was amazed to what Logan had done he had to help J'onn, he inhaled all of his breath and exhaled creating small yet powerful gust of wind blowing out the flames ceasing the martians screams.
Supergirl gawked at the metal blades that somehow managed to cut Metallos arm clean off in one slice, she had never seen a anything like that before. Though Logan didn't seem to like the sight of them Kara watched as he they slowly retracted into his hand.
Batman watched the battle from afar he watched what the prisoner had done a well executed cut of the arm like it was butter. That feeling welled within him again a feeling he didn't know or was familiar with it made him uncomfortable. It made him shake.
Giganta hated the Amazon with a burning passion she would do anything to make her scream her eyes caught the sight of Batman who was occupied with staring at the moment. Smiling wickedly she raised her boot to give the high and mighty princess something to remember her by.
"Wonder Woman!" She screamed getting the Amazons attention from attending J'onn her eyes widen to what the enormous woman was about to do. "I'm positive you'll find him handsome with broken bones." With that she brought her foot down with all her with the intention of crushing Batman.
"BATMAN!" Diana's heart flared with fear and anticipation for the man she loved, she flew as fast as the speed of hermes could carry her. She grabbed her golden lasso from her hip Wonder Woman tossed the magical whip in hope of ensnaring Batman and pulling him to safety.
But it didn't seem it would make it in time the league could only gape to what would happen to the detective, Superman followed Diana's example to save his long time friend and comrade but just like her he wouldn't make it. Batman now notices the foot that would trample him in mere seconds everything within a frame of time slowed down he never thought that his life end would be like this.
Batman could see his parents calling out to him begging him to join them in the after life, Batman closes his eyes preparing for demise. What he didn't expect was for him to feel a push which easily shoved him out of the way from the incoming foot, he recovered from the ground just in time to see the very man who he deemed a threat getting crushed beneath the colossal foot of the story tall woman.
Everyone witnessed the entire ordeal shock was the only feeling registering through them, Supergirl's eyes welled with tears but her feelings wern't of shock...they were of grief and anger her expression said it all.
"AAAAHHHH!" She busrt forth in an amazing display of speed have her mighty fist connect to Giganta jaw, it as powerful enough to knock her to her back.
Deadshot tried to shake tthe stars out of his eyes that punch was strong to put him into a comma good his mask protected much of his face. Whoever that guy was would enventually get a bullet between his eye. But for now they needed to retreat they didn't acquire all the blood samples but he hope it would suffice for now.
"You look a little worse for wear." Deadshot gave the source of the voice a deadly glare.
"Why I'm not surprised Shade you were never the type to get your hands dirty." The assassin never took a liking to the shadow caster he was practically a crutch.
Shade smirks."I don't need to be judged from a man who prefers to let his guns voice his words."
Floyd ignored Shades attempt at calling him a hypocrite.
"And besides." He raised a vile in his filled with blood."I already liberated Flashes without his notice.
"How the hell did you managed to get that frtom Flash?" He questionedthinking everything he said was a bunch of bull.
"Simple I sent a silhouette spore to the job for me."
Rolling his eyes Deadshot decided it was time to leave."Create a distraction were blowing this joint."
Raising his cane Shade engulfed the whole area in pitch black blinding everone from sight when it cleared they were gone not trace of them was left. The only thing they left behind an almost destroyed main deck it looked like world war 2 swept through everything expensive equipment damaged. Batman tried to rein in his anger this was ging to take a large amount of money from his pocket.
It didn't help the fact that the enemy escaped without anytype of way to track them, but thanfully everyone was alive and well. No casualties for the most part except wounds that could be healed through medical attention.
"Is everyone ok?" Superman concern for his fellow heroes placed everyone anxiety at ease.
"Peachy." Green Arrow responded in a humerous tone.
"Logan!" Supergirls voice broke through the relieved atmosphere causing panic to return.
Hovering down to the lower section of the deck Kara found the man pressed deeply into the metal floor, what caught all of them guard was that his body was still in tact. Not a bruise or anything that the eye could see, this man from another world who had saved one of their own with out a second thought or any type of reason for doing it.
Supergirl rolled Logan to his back her super hearing picked up his heartbeat which was beating slowly. Kara beamed with happiness thankful that he had managed to survive, propping him up she hugged with him with content as tears rained down her cheek. The others just stared with a mixture of sorrow and confusion...that's when a low but loud clank hitting the floor catching the attention of them all even the emotional Kryptonian.
What they saw were a pair of violet sun glasses laying near Logan's hand.
Christ this was long took forever to finish, but it's complete now.
As usual give me positives and negatives.
Thank you Crazyboi for sticking to my story.
