Author's Note;
Smiles; Feels like it's been a while on shit no it hasn't. I'm on schedule. Well anyway everyone like Jester and I agreed that we'd update once a month. So this month we're updating Eternal Legacy, Blazing Fist, and All Ghosts. So yeah next month will be our two Fairly oddparents. Then our two newest fics which are Star Vs. and Ed, Edd n' Eddy. Then we rotate back to the start and see which will get updates or be on hold until next rotation. An yea its a whole month but would you rather us be tired and less idea filled if we constantly update randomly. Still thanks to everyone following and liking our fics. Sure no one left a review but it's just how things go sometimes. Still leave a review, don't care how long it is it's just not cool that you don't give me a least what your impressions are so far.
Harley's View
With a bathrobe on I hum as I comb Tina's blue with brown highlighted hair. I ask "So Tina what kind of hair style would you like?" Tina doesn't respond she simply continues to scroll through stuff on the cellphone Wire gave her. I huff "Come on Tina at least talk back when we talk to you. You've be awfully quiet since Art left." Tina says "That is due in par to your need to belittle me as though I am a child." I frown "But Tina you are a kid you should be treated with kindness and love." Tina says, "That is not needed now. Children must grow as I have seen from my searches children that are not skillful or in tuned with the real world will be lost. And like most die due to not be prepared for the actuality of the hardship a world of powerful villains." I stick up my lip to say "Oh that's going to change with me being around." Finishing her hair I smile as Tina now has a cute pair of hair bums on the sides of her head.
Wrapping my arms around Tina I squeeze her saying "Tina lets go talk an walk with Kitty." Giving Tina a piggyback ride I run outside looking around until I found Kitty looking out at the swampy lake. Jumping I land next to her asking "Hey Kitty still wonder what your reflection looks like?" Kitty growls "Harley I never agreed to that damn nickname! And I'm a tiger far more dangers then a house cat. Now if you don't mind I want to think alone." I puff out my cheeks to put down Tina "I wanted Tina to talk to everyone so that she'd have a better outlook of things. She's kind of a downer when it comes to thinking like a kid."
Tina says "I think as I should with the data that has been provided and analyzed in my brain. Acting as a innocent and fool hearty child won't progress my survival or growth in tactical and analytical skills." Kitty raises and eyebrow, "Harley you can't change her its basically how she was designed in the lab where Hollow found her. At this point you'd have a better chance at house training your mutts then changing Tina." I frown and shake my head, "But that doesn't mean she can't at least see what it means to be a kid." Tiny says, "What you wish for me to understand as a child would still doesn't matter. The fact is that a child's innocence will only prolong the harsh truth that reality holds."
I sigh putting Tina on my lap and place my cheek on top of her head. I say "Man she's worse then Strange with being harsh and truthful. Tina is there anything that you want to do that doesn't contradict your logic?" Tina shakes her head answering, "As of know I have found no activity that will stimulate my skills while also appealing your ideas of child like fun." I turn seeing Red walk around across the field but she stops to mommy talk to her flytraps. After a little while Red walks over eyeing the three of us. Red crosses her arms asking "Harls what's wrong?" Tina answers "Ms. Quinn has been trying to find an activity that fills both my need to always use my strategic skills. And fulfill her idea of child like innocence. Such an activity isn't aware or know to me."
Red looks from Tina to me saying, "Harls Tina isn't like kids she grew up experimented on and her brain constantly poked at. The only thing that stimulates her is outcomes and data." Looking at Red with big fake water eyes I whine, "But Red that's why we need to help her. Kids should enjoy their first years before maturing. It's the whole idea of growing up you learn from mistakes to be better for anything worse or similar." Kitty says "Your whining isn't going to stop until one of us helps you right?" I nod rapidly hugging Tina closer. Red sighs to say she'll see if Frosty will help me. Scooping up Tina I follow after her.
Arsenal's View
Tapping my earpiece I growl, "Are you sure we can trust this guy Q? He just ripped two thugs in half with his bare hands. And beheaded another with that axe of his." Q answers, "We have no choice and we're out of time. The League is moving for a large chunk of Gotham and they want the Court out. If we push them into a conflict we can move. And we just might have a new friend if we're lucky." I say "We didn't need luck before... we needed Dick, Jason, Hell I'd even stand working with Barbara and Damien." Superboy shouts, "Shut up Arsenal we don't need Jinx freaking about Jason."
Jinx says "Too late and even if you didn't say it... I still miss him. We still miss them all." Huntress says "Don't worry Brain still has Barbara and Dick I know that much. All we need to do is get out of the city and regroup to go after them. Maybe one of the Domes can patch us in with others that are alive." I nod, "And if not we'll be making ourselves bigger targets. Ok he's alone Q I'll keep watch from here if he tries anything." Q says "I'm not worried about him its whose watching him that has me concerned now."
Question's View
Turning into the alley I stop Jinx and Raven looking around for anything odd. Raven says, "We know you're here vampire I can sense your spiritual signature." Slowly the vampire rises from along the wall his mask showing off his mouth, as a smile remains etched onto it. Vampire says "Two spell casters? One Raven the other Jinx. And the last detective mind that could rival Batman alias the Question. Why are you three here?" I reply, "We wanted to ask for your help as well as to see if you'd help." Vampire says "Depends on if what you need also helps my job. So ask and I will see if what we both need coincides with one another." I nod explaining the situation, "The League of Shadows and the Court of Owls have made it impossible for us to leave the city. We were hoping you could distract them long enough for us to get out friends and leave." Vampire rubs his chin to say, "I will help but I need information too. I'm looking for a man who makes chemicals and has been shipping them to one Black mask. Tell me where he is and I'll help you." I nod, "Of course the only place in Gotham that had chemical access was Ace Chemical an a few small labs own by other companies. After they were destroyed the last place that has any chemicals is the Lex Corp building along the south river. Now that you know where to go Vampire now will you help us?"
Vampire nod asking "But if I help you know my target will get away? I need him dead and all his chemicals destroyed or my current contract and allies will suffer. If you want me to be in three places that isn't possible." Jinx says "Q what's the plan he does have a point. His familiars can't go very far from him to control them properly." "Find Arsenal change of plans you're going to have to take the vampires contract." Arsenal says "Are you nuts? I'm not leaving any of you with him." I say, "This isn't the time we'll be fine. I can tell he holds deals highly. And even now he doesn't want to leave a chance that this won't go right. Kill the scientists at Lex Corp and destroy the building Arsenal. Make sure you jam every signal leaving the place before you start shooting." Arsenal growls to say "Fine I hope you know what you're doing Q?" I answer, "I'm always ready for different outcomes. Vampire our friend will deal with the scientists and their chemicals. Now will you help us?" The vampire walks closer to us answering, "I agree and I do hope we get to have fun."
Third person's View
Inside the Court of Owls fine halls several guards screams can be heard. Azeral and his commando owls follow the screams until they find Hollow throwing a man in a fine pressed suite into a statue. The statues arms impaling the man through his stomach and upper torso. Seeing Azeral and his twenty plus commandos Hollow starts to laugh, "Finally lets see if you all like a change of location." Before Azeral can tell Hollow whistles opening a shadow portal underneath them all. Azeral and the others fall through with Hollow right behind them. Huntress and Superboy come from a side doorway avoiding the bodies on the ground. And the ones dripping from the wall. Huntress taps her earpiece "Q our crazy vampire friend just left with Azeral and several of his elite guards. What else do you want us to do here?" Q replies, "Find the mainframe and take any information you can. I'm sure the UN will like that we got them some information off the Court of Owls after all this is over." Owl man punched several guards to have Superboy rush them like a line backer and throwing them through a wall.
Owl man says, "Hey kid I was ok my punches aren't that soft." Superboy says "Could have fool me old timer you're getting slower." Huntress says "Boy you can have your pissing party later hacking now. Before more crazy rich owl flunkies show up an try to rip off Owl mans look." Madam Rogue isn't pleased neither is Hush and Prometheus. James Jr. however wishes that he was there with Rouge. Rogue asks, "How many did that vampire just drop inside the base?" Guard answers "Azeral and at least twenty of his commandos are killing people on the main level ma'am. We have no idea where they came from." Hush says, "Lock down every thing past level three. What do you plan to do Rogue and where are you going?" Rogue answers, "I plan to test my work." Getting to the main labs Rogue snaps her fingers for the lead scientist. He walks over says "Madam we have managed to install a control chip onto the back of his neck using the magical membrane you suggested. But without proper testing we don't know the extent of our control." Rogue smirks to say, "Send him up through the elevator and test him. The vampire is here and he's causing problems along with those Owl fools." As the scientist rush to follow their ladies orders Jinx, Question, and Raven are using the vents to get past the locked down.
Jinx asks "I can't believe they make vents this big?" Question says, "Its so more air can cycle through the building the deeper or higher they go. We just lost radio contact we're getting past the fourth level." Raven asks, "Do you think the vampire is doing ok?" Question says "From how Superboy describe him making his way into the Courts courtyard then past their lobby. I have no doubt he's fine. Right now Miss Martian and Beast Boy are our priorities." As the trio continues to crawl Hollow is enjoying himself on level two. Grabbing a guard he cleaves her head off with his axe to throw the severed head at another. Pulling his revolver Hollow returns fire destroying all the cameras and the lights. The League members are shocked, as now they have to fight in the dark. Hollow begins to chuckle as the members try to find him with inferred goggles. His chuckling shaking one member to her core as she continues to scan with her gun for Hollow. She turns bumping into Hollows chest to follow it to his face. Gasping Hollow allows his mask to spread showing his rows of sharp teeth. Her screams and gunfire were useless as Hollow sinks his clawed nails through her chest piercing her heart.
Grabbing her weapon Hollow aims it at another member killing him with twenty rounds from the clip. Jumping into the air Hollow floats past their goggles sight and grabs hold of another member. As he dangles from Hollows hold the other member turn to hear a crunch. Followed by the member dropping to the ground without a head. Hollow smirks to use the shadows and pull the pin of a grenade strapped to ones waist. It goes off killing him and maiming another member next to him. Hollow using the small fires light showing his haunting and twisted domineer. Hollow says, "So few can make me feel alive. But I still don't know what it means to feel alive. Such a cruel twist of the knife..." Before the members can fire a low rumble and clanging comes from behind Hollow. To the last members horror five gray hands of horror rush them from behind Hollow as he continues to chuckle. The gnarly boney hands either crush or slap the members across the room. With enough force that you can hear flesh and bone snap and wrench even before the hit anything. Hollow says "I'm sorry I can't let you out completely in here. But next time I face a prey that pushed me as far as Atom did. I won't leave you out I won't hold you back." The hands clap and shake as Hollow moves forward towards the elevator.
Back in the labs Question is choking a guard out cold. While Jinx drop round houses another's head into a cell door. But this one is fast managing to use the knives in her hands to cut both Jinx and Raven. Chanting her spell Revan sends her flying into another cell. Raven casts again unlocking the cell and rushes to one. Raven "Megan is in the cell across from you Jinx." Raven enters the cell holding Beast Boy and she has to cover her mouth. He's bruised and looking very ill. No doubt from either lack or proper food or being down here for so long. Lifting him up she carries him gently out of the cell. Jinx finding Megan aka Miss Martian in a similar state. Question shakes his to say "Lets move fast they'll be alerted to us once they find the cells empty." Raven causing her familiar chant encapsulates them in the raven like shadow as they rush through the vent back to the first floor. Azeral and his commandos kill off another ten members of the League as Hush watches from the monitor room. Hush asks, "Rogue where is this new asset you told me of?" Rogue answers, "It'll be there shortly not to worry."
As Question and the titans emerge from the vent in the side room they move to see how things are playing out. Azeral orders "Owls we are leaving we have suffered enough from the creatures trickery." Hollow familiar laugh fills the room as he rises from the large black spot in the floor. Hollow says "So the lead fighter of the Court of Owls is you then? And where do you think you're going to go I haven't had a turn to fight you yet?" Hollow brandishing is axe smirks through his mask at Azeral. While he and his commandos ready for another fight. However the ping of the elevator gives them pass and as Hollow turns to see a bolt of yellow electricity hits him. Sliding back on his heels Hollow chuckles, "That stung and whom might you be?" Question, Raven, and Jinx look on in horror seeing Vergil better know a Static stepping out from the elevator. His hair nothing more then a buzz cut and his signature outfit a skintight shirt and clean jeans. Rogues voice comes out from the loud speakers saying, "Subject twenty seven welcome our guests and see to it that they feel as comfortable as possible." As Statics hands jolt to life Hollow smiles asking "Lets see what else you can do?"
Smiles; There we go another bloody and super evil twist to Pascal's story. So like always like, share, and comment as Jester would ask you to do. So yea I'LL HUG YOU ALL LATER!
