Injustice 3
Chapter 5- Awake
Batman and Jason trade punches as Jason looks for an opening. Once he finds one Jason lands a kick square on Batman's chest sending him a few feet back. It takes Batman no time at all to lung forward knocking Jason onto the ground, with a bone crunching crack to the jaw. Batman brings a fist down onto Jason. He dodges and retaliates with a swift and viscous kick to Batman's side. Batman grunts in annoyance before pulling out a metal ball from his belt and throwing it to the ground. In no time at all the room fills with a thick mist as Batman jumps out of site. Jason stands firm ready to strike, as he looks around the mist, hearing Batman's bleeping collar.
''I know, where you are. Unless you do something about that bleeper your screwed'' Jason says with a casual smile, before hearing a metallic noise on the ground. He looks to see a small metal sphere. He jumps back, throwing his arms in front of him as the sphere explodes.
Kara stands in the centre of her cell, staring directly at the metal doorway ahead. She hears laughter at the side of her. The same demonic laughter she had heard just hours ago. She turns to see the same gangly clown sat staring at her with the same demented smile and wide open unblinking eyes. ''Poor little Kara. You thought you could save him. You never thought your little cousin could be such a monster, yet here you are, at the peak of realisation. That must stink'' He says the last few words with an excited high pitch. ''I'll be dead soon. She responds as she looks to him coldly ''What do you want from a dead girl clown clown?'' The Joker lets out a high pitched laugh ''I want to relish in your failure. It amuses me that you will now die, having to except the truth that pains you'' A single tear leaves Kara's eye as she grits her teeth. ''Well I'm alive right aren't I clown, and that puts me one up on you'' The Joker laughs hysterically as he begins to turn to ash ''Oh no Kara. We both know, you died a long time ago''. The ash turns to particles in the air, leaving Kara to wipe the single tear from her face.
The red metal mask, helps block out the explosion, but not quite enough to prevent a ringing in Jason's right ear. He grunts as he pulls off his mask and holds his ear. He pulls his hand away to see a small amount blood in his palm ''Any time now Barbara'' he says down the head set ''Just give me a little longer'' Barbara replies ''This is a tough inscription'' As Barbara finishes her sentence Jason feels a fist against the right side of his jaw. He is sent to the ground. He barely manages to recover long enough to dodge a sharp metallic batarang ,which gashes the side of his his head. From his lead down position he pulls out a rounded bomb from his own belt and throws it directly at Batman's face. Batman pulls his cape infront of him and stands firm as the explosion sends him back five foot. As he lowers his cape he is met with a right hook from Jason. The right hook lands followed by a left one which gets blocked. Jason gets kicked five foot back, landing with a loud thud against the floor. Before he knows it batman is above him. He sees one of batman's gauntlets grow metallic curved knives. His eyes widen as he blocks one with his arm. ''Barbara hurry up'' he shouts down the head set as the bleeping on Batman's collar gets faster.
The metallic doors slide open. Kal comes marching in ''Its time Kara'' he says coldly as he inputs the key code to her cell. Kara looks to him and lets out a little half hearted laugh as she shakes her head. He walks threw the door as he pulls out a set of manacles, engraved with green jagged kryptonite stones. She winces as he closes them around her wrists. ''Nothing to say?'' Kal asks with a low tone of frustration ''No'' Kara replies ''Enough has been said''. Kal sighs and puts a hand on Kara's shoulder and pushes her forward.
Jason breaths deeply as the knives reach the surface of his throat. ''Wake up, Bruce'' he says through gritted teeth as the knives start piercing skin on his throat. ''Wake up'' he shouts at the top of his voice before angling his foot and landing a kick straight in Batman's side. Batman is sent to the floor as his metallic collar falls off and his purple lit eyes return to their original colour. Jason stands up, looking rather shaky on his feet ''Better late than never'' he grunts as he looks down at Batman threw the darkness. A confused Batman looks around before pulling off his cowl and looking his previous opponent right in the eyes. ''Jason?'' he says in a dazed tone before receiving a heavy right hook. He falls limp cracking on the floor.
Kara begins to look curiously at the empty cells. ''Where are the rest?'' she asks Kal. She receives no response. At his silence she nods ''Oh I see'' she states, almost sounding calm and tranquil. After a few levels of metal walkways and red lights Kara is greeted by a double metal door. Kal jams a code into the control panel located at the side of the door, almost breaking it as he inputs each digit. As the door opens Kara sees five individuals. They are all bound via their wrists and ankles and in various states of rough visual well being. ''Oh no'' she says threw gritted teeth ''You use me as an example, and they will not follow'' Hearing this Kal pushes Kara into the room
Kara gets a good look around the small metallic room, seeing a tall muscular tanned man with a thick jaw. She recognises him as Black Adam. Standing by him is the tall, stern dark haired Amazon Wonder Women, or as she has come to know her, Diana. Kara barely has a minute to take in her surroundings before Diana marches forward and forces her onto her knees. She than takes a stance behind her and pulls out her gold handled sword. ''In the name of the League of Assassins and the Regime, you Kara Zor El have been found guilty of treason. For this crime, I now sentence you to death. As your blood spills, the rebels before you will know the price of their own betrayal. Do you have any last words? Kara takes a deep breath ''Kal. I thought you where more than this, but now I'm awake and I know the truth. You are a monster'' She begins and finishes her sentence, without even giving her cousin a side glance. Diana pulls her sword back. There is a short pause before she thrusts in forward.
Jason kneels over Celina's body, staring daggers threw the slits of his red metal mask. He turns to his unconscious opponent. ''I should kill you where you lie'' he says threw gritted teeth ''She would still be alive, if you would have just had the balls to take a life'' There is a short pause before Batman takes his first strained breath.
