I own nothing!
Smoke…
Plenty of smoke and disarray for Tim to sneak out for a change, by this time he had returned to the ballroom to see twice of the men with guns than when he first left. He disarmed one of the men that were just firing to fire a gun making his mark into a nearby wall to just scare the patrons that had not made it out yet.
He had noticed that Clark had taken out a goon when Lois wasn't looking as he was still trying to get both of them out of harm's way. Giving him a quick nod and continuing on with his work when he never saw Freeze's gun aim towards him.
Small pin pricks. Small pin pricks all over the skin is all he could ever explain it as. Than the extreme cold would come and no matter how hard he always would try not to, his teeth would chatter and the compression of the ice than engulfed his body. Then feeling of an elephant was sitting on his chest crushing his lungs came next.
"Robin!" Barbara yelled as she tried to reach him before he went crashing to the ground as one giant ice block.
Clark had seen it all go down, getting Lois safe behind a bar for cover. "Stay here, I have to go help!" He yelled during the gun shots.
"This is not the time to start being a boy scout!" She shouted back covering her head as bottle of liquor exploded above her.
He was at Robin's side along with Barbara as the Bobby character was shouting to his apparent friends. "Can't…..breathe." Robin muttered. Clark quickly glanced back as if anyone was paying attention to them. Quickly he removed his glasses as his heat vision started to melt the sculpture incasing him.
"Hang on." Barbara said softly to him for reassurance. Robin was a soaking mess in no time with uncontrollable shakes taking over his body. Barbara gripped his hand for comfort as a blue skinned woman ran through the ballroom heading for the balcony between the gun shots and smoke. Selina wasn't far behind on her tail to see Mystique escape over the balcony; she was at Robin's side quickly.
"You alright kid?" pushing her way in besides Clark searching Robin's belt, he only nodding in response slightly between chatters. "Nice to know that the big guy is going to make an appearance tonight." Finally finding what she was seeking, jumping to her feet heading towards the balcony. Cain and Bruce were trying to push their way through the ballroom as Cain separated another bot, Katherine not far from Bruce.
"Lina don't your dare!" Cain shouted dropping the parts as discarded junk as she disappeared over the balcony shooting the grappling gun into the air.
Dick had rushed onto the street with the rest of the on lookers when he noticed the woman next to him point to the sky as a figure had leaped off the balcony shooting a grappling gun into the air making her way to the payment in hot pursuit of someone. He noticed her quickly when her feet hit the ground running bringing her hand to her ear quickly speaking and setting in on a dead run.
"Selina." He muttered, quickly pushing through the crowd of panicked people towards the direction she ran in.
"Bruce you have to stay with me!" Katherine shouted over the shots as they started to become fewer of them. Apparently "they" were winning the fight inside. Clark was on his feet standing over Robin now noticing the "others" seemed to be creating a protective half circle around Professor Xavier, Robin, and Bruce. Freeze was long gone, Bane still stuck where Katherine left him in the floor and the last armed robotic man being torn in half by Cain.
"What de hell is he doin' here?" The man with the red glasses stated pointing at Cain with a playing card drawn in his hand in a guarded stance. Clark pushing towards the group to get Lois behind the bar, but it was too late. She was already dragged out by one of Freeze's henchmen with a gun pointed to her head.
"Don't anyone move!" He shouted, Clark froze.
"Easy.." Bruce softly spoke as he put his hands up, "It's me who you want." He felt Katherine place a hand on his back for protection.
"Don't move!" He shouted raising his gun at Bruce when a quick noise caught his attention towards the doors as another dark haired man entered the room walking directly towards the armed man. Bam! He fired upon the new arrival in the head, but he did not fall just paused instead as his flesh began to heal. He shrugged his shoulders through the pain and continued on with more determination towards Lois, metal claws popping out his knuckles.
Bam! Bam! Bam! The henchman emptied his clip into him, but it was no good as he continued on, slicing the gun into parts as Lois was pushed to the ground in the glass debris as one set of claws sank into his shoulder.
"Wolverine!" The Professor shouted at him as Wolverine pulled back his fist to insert the blades into his stomach, but he paused.
"We need him alive." A man spoke with his hands to his sunglasses. Wolverine looked back to the henchman, head butting him instead leaving him there on the floor in a slump retracting his blades glancing down to Lois extending his hand to her, but Clark was to her side assisting her.
"Kitty, Pete…get the Professor out of here," looking towards Clark and Lois "We don't need any bad press."
"What about Wayne, Scott?" Katherine asked stepping forward.
"Wolverine can handle it for now." His response was quick still looking towards Cain.
"Will someone tell me what is going on?" Lois questioned as she removed her hand from head noticing a little blood that Clark was concerned about.
"Katherine works for me." Bruce quickly stated to Scott.
"No she doesn't Bruce." Barbara spoke softly still at Robin's side on the floor. "Let her go." Bruce glanced down at Robin still shaking approaching him taking his pulse.
"His heart rate is low, we need to get him back to…" Bruce was interrupted as Rogue was lifting him into her gloved arms.
"Do you remember where?" Barbara asked her coming to her feet, she only nodded.
"Hang on Honey." Rogue stated as he continued to shake and flew out the window leaving Bruce at his end.
"Somebody better enlightened me pretty quick." As he spoke between his teeth looking at Barbara as GCPD began to enter the room.
Cain had his hand to his ear trying to get in contact with his partner. "Kyle? Kyle? Do you copy?!"
Clark approached Bruce with his arms wrapped around Lois for support. "Bruce, I heard his com link come through when she went out the window." The two men glancing at Cain trying to make radio contact, "She stated Agent Kyle in pursuit of Mystique on foot. She said Agent."
Cain returned their stares, raising his hand again to his ear turning his back "This is Agent Marko, shots fired, possible Agent down." As he exited the ballroom through the crowd of the police entering.
Selina was on foot and running fast in pursuit of her target and she saw Mystique turn down an alley. By the time she got there, her gun was drawn from her thigh holster and she was on guard. Not a sound, until a trash can was knocked over making her spin around only to see a cat picking through trash for his next meal. She lowered her weapon slightly as exhaling in relief, but was hit with a metal bar across her hands dropping her weapon as Mystique did a round house kick to the stomach causing her head to hit the back of the building falling to the ground.
"Kyle? Kyle? Do you copy?!" Her intercom rang in her ear.
Mystique reaching for Selina's gun, aiming it at her and fired.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
"This is Agent Marko, shots fired, possible Agent down."
Mystique was tackled to the ground when she was about to fire the fourth shot by Nightwing disarming here. Glancing at Selina in the process that wasn't moving. Nightwing took a foot to the face when he fell back a few steps. Mystique took off on foot over the alley fence, he took a step forward, but stopped looking at Selina's motionless body.
It won't be such a long wait for next chapter...I promise!
