Gothgod9415 thanks guy glad you liked it and I know this chapter is a slow one. But I know you all will have fun with it!
Ivy's View
Harley came back into the house the little girl close behind her. In her arms she's carrying a black furred bunny. Livewire "So um short stack what's your name?" Girl "I've only been designated as Cl/20-nty. My primary function has been told to me many times in my incubation chamber. I am to take in data of any opposition or numeral statistic and devise strategies or possible outcomes to events." Cheetah "So you were created to predict things by being feed information? Interesting can you share more on what you can do?" Cl/20-nty "Yes with my main function I can also scan a person on touching their bodies. Giving you minor predictions and possibilities to your futures based on your current live styles or body decaying rate."
Harls "So that's how you knew that Fangs was going to be ok? Nice going Cl ergh I think we need to call you something other then that mess of words." Livewire "So not the issue right now Harley." Harley "It is now let me think..." "In any case as soon as Hollow wakes he'll be off. And we will still have to worry about the chemical plant killer that Mask and his friends have." Cl/20-nty "Not an issue if they realize the problem they will cause if any harm comes to you or your plants Ms. Isley." "What do you mean what do you know?" Cl/20-nty "In my time awake I have used most of it to access the Internet as you call it. The current state of human's food and recourses have begun to decrease too rapidly. In short you Ms. Isley are the only Meta human alive that can currently correct this lose of crops and natural forests. If the chemical your enemies have comes into contact with your body you will die within a one months time."
All the girls gasp and I stare shocked as well at the girl's statement. Cheetah "What so Ivy's the last means to keep our big blue marble green in the right places?" Cl/20-nty "Yes but with her gone it will also result in the world losing its chance to stabilize that growing loss to hungry and food shortages. As well as climate restoration from fossil fuel usage. The reformed colony pockets you've granted to live within your territory knows they have a solid protection from starvation. They've even begun to burn natural oils and tree sap in their motor vehicles. Along with the added technology of greenhouse light catchers. All showing a balance between nature and human growth to a limited extent. However even with your agreement Ms. Isley you do know that you can't rule over these people forever. But with your position its also clear that other governments will want access to the fresh crops the colonies here have."
"So what's your prediction on things to come with my territory?" Cl/20-nty "A number of possibilities but the highest are as such. Those you view as enemies to your maternal botanical ideals will either try to negotiate with you for small amounts for your crops. Or a means to plant and harvest their own. Knowing your compliance rate with those you don't care for being men mostly these talks will fail. As such small raids will be attempted which will anger you and prompt you to fight back. With all else failing your enemies will capture you or use those closest to you as a means to motivate you to obey their demands. But knowing Ms. Quinzel's profile she will escape and rescue you. The results of which could lead to both your deaths or major injury."
Frost "Whoa and I thought I was cold with giving bad news." Harls giggles telling Frost that that was a good pun. Cl/20-nty "But as you have made if clear you have a small X factor that most will not expect. Your involvement with my Liberator and his growing fame as the new boogey man of the weaker minded militia and criminal element will cause pause if found out." Harls "Wait people know about Fangs already?" Livewire "Yeah while you were napping Savage put the word out to all the villains. Even showing some of the fight he had with Atom boy. Still can't believe either of them survived their beatings." Cl/20-nty "Black Atom's magical factor has always proven to be his strongest wild card in battle. However my Liberators clear resistance to magic proved a new dilemma to Atom."
Frost "What dilemma from the fight he just kept saying that phrase of his and hitting Fang breath with lighting." Cl/20-nty "Atom usually uses his magic bolts to stun then eliminate his more resilient opponents. He kept his distance every time he used his bolts waiting to see if they left serious injuries to my Liberator." Cheetah "So your saying Atom was overly cautious of Hollow because he wasn't what Atom expected?" Cl/20-nty "Yes from all true lore findings of vampires they have very high magic resistance if they have drank blood or have familiars. The creatures that my Liberator has shown are such creatures. And with the amount his has his resistance and power is clearly higher then the more common image of vampires."
A new voice enters the room startling us. The voice makes Harley squeak and reach behind her head to cover her neck. A drone flies in through the window and lands on the coffee table. A hologram image of none other then Amanda Waller herself pops up. "Waller should have guessed our guest was connected to you some how." Waller sighs "As much as I would like to know the full details of why every two bit criminal now is watching who they steal from. As well as keeping a lower profile. I must say Hollow has been getting results and I can't afford to lose him. He's the UN's last asset and I must stress last as of now. Vandal Savage just took out the UN's private Antarctic research lab. Harley you can stop holding your neck I'm not mad anymore about the Suicide Squad. But I would like to offer you all a chance similar too the Squad."
Livewire "Let me guess you want us to help Hollow?" Waller nods "And in exchange clean slates. No government watch lists, not arrests warrants, or putting you in heavily secured locations." "I take it that you'd want to talk to Hollow about this?" Waller nods "Now where is he? I've followed his blood echoes to your home but still can't place him." Harley jumped up telling Waller to follow her completely unfazed by how Harls is currently dressed. Back in her private animal park Waller drones hovers over to Hollow. Waller "One of you find a needle and shoot some of your blood right into his heart. It'll jolt him from his resting state." Harley jumps up and down to skip away saying she'll do it.
Waller "Sometimes I wonder how all of you can stand that girl being happy all the time?" Frost "Small dreams of putting tape on her mouth and throwing her off a boat tied to an anchor." Cheetah, Wire, and I look at Frost. She crossed her arms saying she can be cruel sometimes when she dreams. Harley returns with a syringe filled of her blood. Opening Hollow's shirt she stabs the needle right into his heart. Cl/20-nty "I've detected an anomaly in my Liberators brain activity." A low sound starts to come from Hollow and his chest as it starts to raise and lower in a rhythmic fashion. Soon after laugher comes raging from his lips and he slowly raises to his feet. His once sapphire eyes glowing a darker blue his rows of sharp teeth showing more as he smiles and tilts his head.
He face showing an almost playful demeanor. Hollow "Hello my dear lady Waller. Its always good to see you even though I... wait my dear Waller did you lose weight? I must say you look good a very tempting meal." Waller cocks and eyebrow at Hollow before Cl/20-nty makes her voice known. Cl/20-nty "It would appear the old lore also holds true about the blood a vampire feeds on. To be more specific my Liberator after his intake on Ms. Quinzel's blood has taken in some of her sporadic personality. It could take some time for his own personality to consume this new trail from her blood." Hollow smiles "Such a sweet little thing and smart without any other even close to you huh missy. But you don't have to call me such a boring name. Call me Art it's a hint to my real name."
Hollow winks with a smile while Cl/20-nty remains blank faced. Cl/20-nty "If you wish so Art." Hollow "So what's your name then cutie p?" Before Cl/20-nty can answer Harley answers for her, "Her name is Tina, Tiny Tina and she's the smartest little thing you'll ever meet!" Harley captures Cl/20-nty into a surprise hug confusing showing across Cl/20-nty face by Harley's affectionate hold. Hollow smiles giving Harley a thumbs up tell Cl/20-nty well Tina that that's her new name. "Ok Waller we helped your man but that doesn't mean we agreed to help your little plan. Mask and his little friends are..." Waller "Threating to spread his plant killer if you don't do what he says. I can give you a hard location on both the chemicals as well as who is helping Mask make more." Livewire "And you won't give us the goods unless we agree." Waller "See I knew there was a reason you all had the most brains compared to other villains."
"Fine we'll help when we can just get rid of the chemical first." Waller "First I also need you to let a team of researches study your crops. Ivy I don't need to hear an I told you so. But well to put it blunt the planets is losing crops. And you and old Swamp Thing are our best chances at growing more where they won't grow now. But Swamp Thing won't let anyone close to his swamps and marshes. Ivy when this whole situation is over I can promise you and your friends won't have to worry about getting in trouble. So long as you don't cause trouble as big as you once did." I nod and Waller tells Hollow where to go to so he can find his new targets. Hollow pats Tina's head saying he'll be back in a few days. With a wave and a smile he sinks into the trees shadow. Waller "I kind of miss how Wayne disappeared during a conversation."
Third person's View
Hollow was stalking his newest target sniffing out where he could be. Even with the whole of Gotham was in ruins the place still was holding itself together. Apparently the whole upper East coast has been strongly controlled by the League of Shadows and the Court of Owls. But the smaller random gangs still hung around to pick at the leftovers. Hollow however wasn't after trying to find out anything about either group. Even though the scouts for both had long since noticed him entering the city. As he was causally walk the streets. Pascal turns hearing sniffling as he passes they decaying door of a house. Seeing the little boy holding a teddy bear Pascal sighs. Pascal "Oh blast me weary souls for I'm too gentle for the lost souls around me." Walking over the boy flinches but Pascal hands the boy five food vouches. Pascal "Everyone should get a nice gift every now and again."
The boy smiles still sniffling even as Pascal waves to the boy from over his shoulder. Pascal with his hands flat to his sides stalks forward in search. In doing so makes him look almost haunting in a shadowy kind of way. Hollow's walk doesn't even make a sound you can't hear his foot steps even as he moves for his target in the empty and quiet street. Pascal smiles under his mask finding the building that will lead him to his target. Pascal walks into the middle of the street looking to the guards sitting on the buildings stoop. A guard looks up from lighting his smoke to snap his pistol up aimed for Pascal. Soon the others see and Pascal tilts his head. Pascal "I wonder if you all will be lively or deadly?" Before the guards could say anything Pascal hurls his axe overhanded into the skull of a guard.
The two other guards completely stunned turns to find a sharp pain and Pascal looking right at them. Smirking with a flash of his side fangs Pascal twisted his hands in the guard's chests. To then forcefully remove them both. Spilling both blood and bone onto the cracked pavement the guards drop with only pained gurgles leaving their lips. Taking up his axe Pascal sighs not getting the same thrill as he looked at the corpses. Walking up the flight of stoop steps Pascal kicks in the door announcing his arrival like a pompous actor. Watching from across the street four members of the League of Shadows send back inferred footage of Pascal fighting. On the other end was none other the Lady Rogue. She after helping Hush and his three friends take the League of Shadows has seen to keeping a firm hold over Gotham. Rogue has been keeping busy trying to find ways to control Meta beings. More recently she has been studying the ways of magic as a control method.
With the House of Mystery still jumping from her grasp Rogue has been trying to find other sources of magic. Black Atom pyramid stronghold being too dangerous to try and sneak in to study. And Klarion trying his hardest to still find his way to Doctor Fate's pocket dimension. She thought her research was lost. Until she saw the footage from Savage showcasing Pascal's resistance and powers of magical summoning. Both interesting Rogue greatly at how to find and make the vampire under her command. Rogue "I need you all to get as many tissue samples as you can once he leaves. Also be sure to not draw attention from those Owl fools." The members confirm and Rogue leaves the monitoring room on a call from Hush.
It appears that Prometheus and James Jr. are tired of the stalemate they have over territory with the Court. And with the Brain asking from their overseas chapter of their progress in research. Rogue doesn't know where to turn to if she can't make a break through. One of Rogue's scientists catches up to her as she enters the elevator. Scientist "Madam we've done it the cells are holding. We can now use the subjects in the cloning program. Which should we begin with or when should we begin?" Rogue smiles "Most excellent work doctor start immediately. Lets see how the world likes a twist on their once great heroes. Which subject is the oldest one that been waiting?" Scientist "Subject twenty seven he was among the younger members of the Justice League."
Rogue "Clone him and install the control chip. If this works out we'll have been the first since that Cadmus program to clone super powered being successfully. Then we'll show Savage who really controls the criminal network of the world." The scientist nods as Rogue leaves the elevator to go to her meeting. Across Gotham a certain rouge hero who has managed to survive the purge sat in wait. Opening his metal arm he checks the energy cells keeping it powered. Arsenal sighs finishing checking over his arm as well as the ammo inside of his arm. Voice, "You know checking your ammo stash more then three times is a clear sign of paranoia." Arsenal "We all have our own thing keeping us sane you know. Or has your hunt for an out still got you going in circles Question?" Question dressed in his torn clothes remain still as he watches Arsenal continue his count from the doorway.
Question "No but I think you and the rest of the Titan's will want to see what I've found out." Arsenal stops and follows Question soon accompanied by Jinx, Raven, Superboy, Blue and Green Beetle, and Mas y Menos. Question smiled seeing that Huntress and Night Owl had managed to get to the secret hide out as well. Huntress "Ok Q what's the latest scoop from the criminal net." Question "Not what who to be process. It appears that the UN has a hit man of their own out for all the villains. I'd think it's best if you all saw his latest scenes with Black Atom." The group watches the five-minute video that went out in gasp seeing the creature of the night taking on one the guy who rivaled Captain Marvel.
Raven "He's a vampire for sure I've only seen few spiritual signatures from them in the shadow dimensions. But there's no mistaking their instant familiar summoning's." Question "And from what I've gathered the list he has of key villains to eliminate has seen a few names removed. But it's clear that we now have a chance to move without worry of being spotted." Arsenal "The League of Shadows already proved that we can't leave. Just look at what they did to the others. What chance do we have now?" Question "The chance we have is that he's here in Gotham at this very moment cleaning house." Huntress "So you felt like just now telling us this?" Question, "No but thanks to a little more digging I found out where Lady Rogue has been keeping two of your friends."
Blue Beetle "Who does she still have?" Question, "She still has Beast Boy and Miss Martian alive. Not sure of who else is still alive but from what I was able to gather. She's been running tests on their bodies. If we use this vampire present in Gotham we can get in and out without the League of Shadows having full watch looking for us." Green Beetle "And what of the Court of Owls? They clearly have problems with us still operating in Gotham as well." Night Owl "Leave that to me. If I know the Court they'll be looking for a way to stick it to the League. Both many have a hate for us. But they both have each other more." Jinx "So how do we know for sure that we came make it in and out?"
Question "Because we're going to find this vampire hit man and talk him into drawing both groups into a clash. From how he showed himself in this video its clear he's got a thirst for fighting. Reminds me a little of a more extreme version of you Arsenal. But once he does his part we can move in for our friends." Superboy "And then we can finally leave this place. I've had enough nightmares of the city to hold me over until I'm thirty. So where do we go?" Question "Superboy your with Huntress and Owl go to this coordinates and wait for my signal to knock getting the Courts attention. Beetles and Mas y Menos the four of you will remain here and pack everything to move. Jinx, Raven, and I will find the vampire and talk to him. See if he can stirrup some problems with the League. Hopefully we can work something out." The teams nod hoping that tonight's plan doesn't have any casualties.
Smiles; You all know not every plan goes as expected. Anyway leave a comment and like with all that other good stuff. So yeah I'LL HUG YOU LATER
