"You have got to shitting me?" Blake asked confused as a figure stood in front of them. There standing in front of the two was the last person Blake would expect in Belle Reeve "WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?"
"He's a part of the insurance policy" Ashford said
"He's Izuku Midoriya; the freaking Green Arrow, a member of the League, you kidnapped him" Blake said stunned
"It's not just me" Izuku said
"Who else is on the policy list?" Blake asked
"You sure you want to know" Ashford said
"I do" Blake said frowning
"Very well" Ashford said "Gear up, you leave in fifteen"
"Yes ma'am" Izuku said
"You too" Ashford said
"What?" Blake asked
"We need you to lead Task Force Justice to recover Task Force X" Ashford said
"Sure, but be warned if I don't like my team I will go solo" Blake said
"So who am I going with?" Blake asked as she held her Katana mask in her hand after gearing up as Katana standing next to Ashford
"Very well first up is Gajeel Redfox code named Steel, Naruko Uzumaki code name Vixen, Dutch code name Black Lightning, Megumi Tadokoro code name Spoiler, Akeno Himejima codenamed Zatana, Ichigo Kurosaki codenamed Arsenal, Lie Ren codenamed Nightwing" Ashford said
"You got a member of the Bat Family?" Blake asked
"Yes, he was picked up in Bludhaven half dead we brought him here for medical treatment" Ashford explained
"Anybody else?" Blake asked
"No" Ashford said "But here they come" she said as Blake's team arrived.
"Let's get this over with" Blake said
Blake looked over her team, Green Arrow wore he's standard suit with green domino mask, next was Steel who was encased in steel armour with a S on his chest like Superman and a crimson cape, Next was Vixen who wore a dark yellow and brown suit which didn't fully close over her bust showing the top quarter of it, she also had gold yellow claw marks on the brown section of her jacket and top of her thighs, Black Lightning wore a black Kevlar suit with two blue lightning bolts on his chest and a pair of yellow shades. Spoiler wore a purple catsuit with matching half face mask, yellow visor a violet cape, Zatanna wore something akin to a stage magician which include a white corset top under a small black jacket, black fishnet stockings, a black top hat and white gloves, Arsenal wore a red and black variation of Green Arrow, Katana had heard rumours he called himself Red Arrow and finally Nightwing wore black tactical Nomex armour with a blue bird symbol on it
"Okay you've all geared up, let's go" Katana said
"So what's the objective?" Nightwing asked
"The Arkham Carnival, Task Force X was sent in there with the intention of apprehending Priority Alpha 01 aka the Joker" Katana said
"Why that wacko?" Nightwing asked
"Because he is one of the top three remaining Alpha Priorities" Katana said
"And the other two were?" Steel asked
"Alpha Priority 03 was Deathstroke who came over to our side and Priority 04 was terminated leaving 01, 02 and 05" Katana said
"So you guys went after Priority 01 by yourselves?" Steel asked
"Well we had no idea you were here" Katana said
"May I make a suggestion?" Nightwing said
"Go ahead" Katana said
"If this is indeed in Gotham we might get some help" Nightwing said
"Very well" Katana said
"I don't like this" Red Hood said as he looked over to the site of the Arkham carnival. "We should have gone in first" he said
"And what get captured?" a voice said
"Well, well, well look her donned her cape and cowl again" Red Hood said
"Shut it Hoodie" Batgirl said as she looked over her target "I'm here for Azazel"
"I see, You can have the psycho, I'll go after the clown!" Red Hood said as a transport flew over head
"Who the heck?" Batgirl asked
"Another suicide squad huh?" Red Hood said
"Suicide Squad, so they finally created Task Force X huh?" Batgirl asked
"Yeah they did, and I tangled with the original version" Red Hood said "and I saw her again"
"Who Asuna?" Batgirl asked
"Yeah she was with them" he said
"You slept with her didn't you?" Batgirl asked
"What do you think" Red Hood snapped
"Okay, okay didn't mean to jab a sore spot" Batgirl said
"Alright fan out and keep an eye out for the squad, we have orders to recover Task Force X and apprehend Priority Alpha 02" Katana said "Nightwing is your back up yet?"
"They should be nearby" Nightwing said
"Okay move in and split up" Katana said
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Vixen asked
"Don't worry I'm sure Katana's been through this before" Black Lightning said
"Right" Katana smiled
"Okay then" Vixen said as she touched a totem like necklace she wore "Eyes of the Eagle" she said as a spirit like eagle screeched before entering her body and making her eyes open to reveal those of an eagle's. She looked around trying to find something when she spotted something up ahead
"What is it?" Green Arrow asked
"Do you see something?" Katana asked
"On the carousel" Vixen said
"What is it?" Green Arrow asked
"I can't tell properly" Vixen said
"Move up" Katana said
The group moved through the fairground quickly and quietly
"Zee?" Green Arrow asked
"Yeah?" Zatanna said
"Can you make us quieter?" Green Arrow asked
"I can do" Zatanna said "Ekam su sseldnuos"
"Thanks" Katana said as they moved quickly and quietly before she stopped before the carousel. Vixen activated her eyes and had a look again before gasping and stepped back
"Kid, you okay?" Steel asked
"Vixen what is it?" Nightwing asked, looking concerned Katana turned to Black Lightning and Green Arrow and motioned them out into plain sight frowning, once in they were in sight of the carousel they stood there gobsmacked
"What the fuck" Black Lightning said, as there tied up to each one of the support pole on teh actual ride part itself was a female member of Task Force X, and each one was naked and knocked out
"Get them down from there" Katana said
"You got it" Green Arrow said
"Wait" Black Lightning said
"What" Green Arrow said as an evil laugh froze the air
"Joker" Katana said
"What is this?" Joker's voice asked "A whole bunch of new toys I've yet to play with" he said laughing evilly
"Who do you think you're up against here?" Green Arrow asked
"The rejects of the Justice League" Joker said
"So why not come out where we can see you?" Steel asked
"Oh please, do you think I'm that stupid man in steel?" Joker replied
"Worth a shot" Arsenal said
"Spread out" Katana said "Zatana you and Spoiler help me get these girls down"
"Yes ma'am" the two said
"Vixen with me" Black Lightning said as the two walked off
"Same as usual?" Arsenal asked
"Why not?" Green Arrow shrugged walking off
"So who do I go with?" Steel asked
"We got stuff to do" Nightwing said
"Alright" Steel said
"So why did you want me?" Vixen said
"You'lll see" Black Lightning said "Hold up"
"Enemies?" Vixen asked looking around
"You could say that"
"Okay, Strength of a Gorilla" Vixen said feeling stronger as three Crazies arrived. Black Lightning absorbed electricity into his body before the Crazies were on them, Vixen did a roll dodge and flung one at Black Lightning who unleashed a blast of the energy he absorbed into the Crazy before he was blasted away, the next Crazy came along and tried to kick Vixen, only to grab her jacket, thinking quickly Vixen unzipped it and took it off revealing her brown satin bra before kicking the Crazy and grabbing it, slipping it over her shoulder but kept it unzipped. Black Lightning was soon surrounded by Crazie and he nodded his head slightly before punching the grown creating a shockwave
"Vixen dodge"
"Flight of the Hawk" she said jumping into the air making her float as the shockwave passed under her, she landed and looked around before huffing and zipped up her jacket and adjusted her pigtails. "Nice move" she said
"Thanks" Black Lightning said
"But" Vixen said performing a roundhouse kick to the head of a Crazy who was behind Black Lightning "You missed on" she said walking off
"Thanks" Black Lightning said
"Over here stupid" Arsenal said as he fired an arrow into the knee of a Crazy before "You get a Boot to the head, and another one for your downed friend" he said kicking a couple of them
"Get down!" Green Arrow said reaching over and pulling his apprentice behind cover
"You realise we're in the shooting gallery right?" Arsenal said
"Your point?" Green Arrow asked before gunfire sailed over head of them "Point proven" he said as he prepared his bow and drew three arrows and strung them up and got ready. Arsenal nodded making Green Arrow to pop up and fire his three arrows at the three Crazies who were the gunmen, once they were dealt with Green Arrow jumped out of cover and walked a bit out before drawing another arrow and firing it off to the side as another one of Joker's henchman was about to attack him. Next he ducked just as more bullets sailed over head and fired an arrow at the way the bullets came from knocking down that gunman. Arsenal came out of hiding and was about to draw his bow when a Crazy ran up behind him, once he was within range of Arsenal's bow a sword was jammed through the Crazy's stomach
"Night Fucker" the sword's owner said making Arsenal's jaw drop, for there was none other the Deathstroke "You okay kid?"
"Yeah, you?" Green Arrow asked
"Ask in a week" Deathstroke said
"You were captured, weren't you?" Arsenal asked
"What do you think?" Deathstroke said
"How did you escape?" Green Arrow asked
"The only competent people in the carnival are the Joker, Task Force X, and Ashford's little Justice League" Deathstroke said "Everyone else is low on either brain cells or sanity, do you mind?"
"Not at all" Green Arrow said gripping Deathstroke's arm
"On three" Deathstroke said
"Sure, One" Green Arrow said before pulling the shoulder back into place
"Now to let my healing factor kick in" Deathstroke said
"So you dislocated your arm to escape?" Arsenal asked
"Yeah, only it was suppose to be just my hand" Deathstroke said rolling his shoulder and squeezing his hand open and close
"Why didn't just pick the lock?" Arsenal asked
"They were zip ties" Deathstroke said as he grabbed a gun "Now come on, some of my team is stuck in the Haunted House"
"You got it" Green Arrow said
"So where are you heading?" Steel asked
"the Big Top, I have a feeling that's where I'll find him" Nightwing said
"Him, you're saying Joker's in the tent?" Steel asked
"Yeah, why wouldn't he be?" Nightwing asked
"I don't know, but I get the sense of trap when I hear we're going after the Joker, do you know how hard he's body count is?" Steel asked
"Its high, almost unconfirmed" Nightwing said
"And you just want to waltz in there and go 'HEY CLOWN! We're here to take you back to Arkham'?" Steel asked
"Something like that" Nightwing said as he entered the purple and green striped tent and looked around with his batons out while Steel had hsi sledgehammer out and was careful
"Anything?" Steel asked
"I don't know" Nightwing whispered before the lights were thrown up and revealing the big top tent was empty, it also had a ring in it makinG Nightwing step into
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I GIVE TO YOU NIGHTWING THE AMAZING BOY WONDER!" Joker cackled before a light was shone on Nightwing "And his associated act: Steel and they will be facing off against, Punch and Judy in the ring and some of my friends from Blackgate in the air
"You take the air, I've got Punch and Broody" Steel said
"Okay" Nightwing said going up to the trapeze
"Good luck" Steel said
"And this is the last one" Spoiler said cutting Poison Ivy down
"Okay, Zatanna?" Katana asked
"You don't have to tell me twice, nruter reiht tnempiuqe ot meth" Zatanna said as they were now fully dressed and equipped
"My head' Harley said
"Tell me about it" Killer Frost said
"Can you guys please keep it down?" Cheetah asked
"I feel like I got hit in the head by Blockbuster" Cupid groaned
"eveiler reith sehcadaeh" Zatanna said making them feel better
"That's better, hey Katana what are you doing here?" Harley asked
"Rescuing you guys from the Joker" Katana said
"And them?" Killer Frost said
"They're apart of Ashford's little Justice League she has hidden in Belle Reeve" Katana said
"So where are the guys?" Copperhead asked
"We have no idea" Spoiler said
"That is not a good thing" Katana said
"One for the money" Steel said bashing Punch in the face with his hammer, "Two for the show, three get ready, and four to kiss the floor" he said knocking around the two heavy goons with his hammer before punching one of them in the face, he looked behind him and kick Judy who feel to the ground.
"WHOA!" a voice shouted as a goon dropped to the ground, looking up Steel saw Nightwing using the trapeze to take down enemies, while flying with the greatest of ease. He flipped and somersaulted as each one of the Joker's goons tried to grab him usually leads to them kissing the ground with assistance from gravity. Steel just sighed shook his head and walked off. Nightwing continued to flip and use acrobatics to his advantage, while he was unaware that a sniper was coming up behind him and aimed at him
"Say goodnight birdie" the sniper said before he was shot just as Nightwing landed on the platform and looked down. There with a gun pointed into the air was someone he was not expecting
"You took you time" Nightwing said landing on the ground
"Well we weren't expecting you" Red Hood said
"And what's with the armour, wait don't tell me"
"Yeah it is the armour I wore when I was the Arkham Knight" Red Hood said as he wore a suit identical to Batman and Nightwing's only it had a more tactical look to it.
"I thought it was a bad idea was well" Batgirl said walking up to the trio
"You know it was a smart idea" Red Hood said as Joker's heavy thugs got up, only to be put down by rubber bullets and a shock batarang
"So where to now?" Nightwing asked
"I'm not sure" Steel said
"So how do you know they are in here?" Green Arrow asked
"I placed a tracker into one of them, so I know they're in here" Deathstroke said
"Okay" Arsenal said about to go in there before he was pulled back by the two
"Hold up young one" Deathstroke said
"What is it?" Arsenal said
"Notice that?" Deathstroke said as he saw a Joker face painted on the doors. "That means this the Joker is keeping something major here" Deathstroke said
"So what should we do?" Green Arrow asked
"Get the others" Deathstroke said
"Well screw that" Arsenal said pointing his bow at the door
"We get the others" Deathstroke growled
Katana was pacing back in forth as her group just watched her
"You're making us dizzy" Killer Frost said
"Well I'm worried, we haven't heard from anyone" Katana said
"Don't worry we're fine" Black Lightning said as he and Vixen walked up
"Same here, and we have some backup" Nightwing said
"Reddy" Harley said running up to Red Hood
"Asuna" Red Hood said hugging Asuna "you're okay"
"I am now" Harley said softly
"So where's Green Arrow?" Katana said
"Right here, and look who we found" Green Arrow said
"Blake" Deathstroke said as he rushed to his wife and held her tightly
"You're safe" Katana said
"So what now?" Steel asked
"We get the others" Deathstroke said
"Where are they?" Joker asked
"What's the matter, can't wait to let loose your lame jokes?" Cold said
"Maybe he can't get one to come back from his mind" Boomerang laughed
"Maybe he's lost his fire" El Diablo said
"SHUT UP!" Joker snapped
"I agree" a voice said as a figure dressed in gold armour and red tunic and a vertical segmented cape and hood, in hsi hand was a glowing sword
"Azrael, so you've come here for me huh?" Joker said
"And them" Azrael said
"So you've dropped the Bat huh?" Joker asked
"I have" Azrael said "But I think I'll start now with you" Azrael said pointing the sword at Joker before an explosion sounded
"Oh I have company" Joker gleefully said running away
"Get back here clown" Azrael said
"So that's where he's hiding the rest of our team huh?" Katana asked drawing her sword and twirled it before Deathstroke placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled under his mask
"Hey kid" Deathstroke said making Arsenal smiled before everyone stepped back
"You got it" Arsenal said drawing and explosive tipped arrow and fired it at the door making it exploded. The Heroes went in first followed by the squad.
"Welcome to my humble carnival, I trust everything is to your liking?" Joker laughed
"Shut it clown" Deathstroke said
"Joker, by order of practically every single fucking law enforcement agency in the world, you are hereby under arrest!" Katana said
"I don't think so" Joker laughed
"Zatanna" Katana said
"Eerf dna mraer meht" Zantanna said pointing at the male members of the Suicide Squad
"Finally" Boomerang said throwing one of his namesakes at the Joker while Captain Cold and El Diablo fired blasts of fire and ice at Joker who dodged them all, as Batgirl and Nightwing dropped in and tried to fight the Clown prince of crime, only to be blocked and counter at each step
"Since when can Joker fight like that?" Deathstroke asked
"I don't know" Katana said
"Well this was fun but" Joker laughed pulling out a remote and hitting a switch for it "But it's time for the finale" he said before running outside.
"Don't think so" Steel said slugging the Joker in the chest before Green Arrow shot him in the ass. Snarl he painfully removed the arrow and threw it on the ground
"Like they all said where are you going clown?" Azrael asked
"Elsewhere, now time to bring the house down" he laughed and he slapped the button on it making a rumble sound
"That's not good" Spoiler said
"RUN!" Katana ordered
"You heard her" Flag said firing at Joker who missed.
"FLAGG COME ON!" Deathstroke said as he pulled the commander away just as the ride collapsed
"Stupid heroes and government stooges" Joker muttered as he walk through the midway when bright lights suddenly shone on him "Hey down in front" he shouted as a shadow moved through the lights. Joker froze and stepped back "You, but you can't be here" he gasped before a dark covered fist punched him in the gut knocking him out. When Joker woke up again he was in his cell in Arkham "You"
"Give it up Joker" the figure said as he moved into view of the window, "You won't get out of here now"
"Bats, how did you survive?" Joker asked
"It doesn't matter, all you have no chance of escaping" Batman said as he walked out. What Joker didn't know was that Batman had welded his cell door shut after moving him deeper in Arkham asylum. Once outside Batman found Director Ashford leaning against the Batmobile.
"The Tumbler huh?" Ashford said
"So what do you want?" Batman asked
"Will you get in the way of my teams?" Ashford replied
"Depends if they're in Gotham or not" Batman said "Other than that I won't"
"Good to know" Ashford said as she walked over to her car as Batman stepped into the Tumbler and both cars drove off. What they were unaware of was who was watching them, a woman with the beauty of a supermodel watched before her eyes flashed bright green before stepping into shadows.
G'day Guys Grizz here and sorry this is a bit late, but who cares this was one of the things I had planned out earlier: A Suicide Squad made out of heroes! that's right this was who was behind that door in Belle Reve, the way I chose the heroes was just ones who had some association with characters in my team already plus the Bat Family shows up with Toka Yada being Batgirl and Batman's alive. Not to mention that woman at the end was Enchantess so that's going to be fun when I deal with her, and I'm sorry if the way Joker was dealt with seemed kind of lacklustre I was running out of ideas there so sorry about that, anyway after a breather chapter I'll start the Black Mask arc
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
