Chapter 9: Discovery is Made

Satana smirked,

"Before I give you the information, you have to throw my dream wedding for me with Deadpool!"

Leon, who, by this time, had recovered from his traumatic experience, said,

"You want us to host a wedding?"

The succubus nodded,

"Yep, with all the trimmings."

Farrah blinked,

"Satana, not that I don't see a problem with you marrying anyone else other than my man, but, I just want to say that there is an ancient evil running around out there, trying to turn everyone into vampires. I would think that takes precedence."

The crazy red-headed demon nodded,

"You're right. I guess I could help."

She tossed a black rock to Batman,

"Found that in the tomb. It's got some serious magical power, but don't know what it is."

Barda snarled,

"You said you knew where Crucifer was."
Satana laughed,

"I lied. I'm a demon. I do that."

The former Fury picked up her weapon and hefted the demon off of her feet, threatening,
"I will beat you to within an inch of your life, monster."

Deadpool got up,

"Now, see here, you ugly woman you-."

A sharp glare from the wife of Scott Free would freeze most men in their tracks. However, Deadpool was not like most men. He continued,

"You do not lay a hand on my wife and-."

He then got hit with the Nega-Rod. The mercenary was sent flying into a wall. He groaned,

"Ow."

Zatanna looked at the rock,

"It's definitely magical. Very old magic, too. Whatever it is, just from looking at it, it's like it's alive or something."

Batman said,

"I'll have Atom take a look at it. There might be something on it we could use."

As the Dark Knight Detective went to find the shrinking scientist, Satana grinned,

"So, who's coming to the wedding?"

Leon held his head,

"I can just imagine what Satana's brother is going to say when he hears about this."

Meanwhile…

The thought of a horny sex demon and an insane mercenary getting married was enough for the more serious League members and some members of the Howling Commandos to examine the unusual item Satana had procured from Crucifer's ancient temple. Fury looked at it curiously,

"Any idea what it might be?"
Zatanna shook her head,

"Other than a powerful artifact, I got nothing. Atom is taking a look deeper in it right now."
The Atom, real name Ray Palmer, was a scientist who harnessed the power of a dwarf star to shrink himself down to the sub-molecular level and travel in-between atoms. Being a scientist in numerous fields, Ray was perfect for the task of determining an object's molecular structure. As he descended down into the object, he opened a communication relay, saying,

"I'm at the lowest level I can go. From what I'm looking at, this was definitely a man-made item."
To the size changing scientist, the stone looked more like a cliff, with all of its irregular peaks and edges. He walked a little bit and continued talking,

"There's something unusual about this. I am hearing something, like a hum or something. As I move in, I'll be able to listen…Hold on, I have something here."

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Flash, and Fury all listened in as Atom explained,

"From the sound of what I am hearing, it sounds…call me crazy, but I am hearing a regular buzzing sound."

A burst of electricity went by Atom, and he said,

"I just saw some sort of electrical surge move by. And, the buzzing changed."

He shook his head,

"Call me crazy, but, I think this thing's alive."

Fury asked,

"Alive?"
Zatanna tapped her chin in thought,

"Well, it's not the first time I've heard of something like this. Depending on the person that made it, it's possible to infuse someone's soul within an object."

The one-eyed operative said,

"Just what we need; a lame Harry Potter reference."

Everyone looked at the former head of SHIELD and he looked back,
"What?"

Atom continued studying and running scans at his level. He called in as a new wavelength was developing,

"Something's happening. It's almost like…oh, crap."

Superman asked,

"What is it?"

Atom answered,

"This thing is emitting something very similar to radio frequencies. This object is broadcasting!"
Suddenly; the lights went out all over the base. Superman, however, used his super hearing,

"There's shuffling around. Someone's nearby."

A low, sinister chuckle began echoing throughout the base and a familiar voice said,
"Well, it's been a while…bubs."

Crisis pulled out his light saber and shook his head,

"Daken's here."
