JLU SPIDER-FRIENDS VOL. I:THE JOURNEY BEGINS

Chapter 11:Suicide Squad Part 2

Finally the Prime Avengers will be facing off with Project Cadmus' own team, just so you'll know Task Force X and the Thunderbolts are both teams of villains for hire. It seems that Wade Eiling and Thaddeus Ross are very much alike in some ways but nevertheless, the one who's going to lead the squad into battle is Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke. I feel that he would be a very good field leader for the team and could a match for both Spider-Man and Nightwing.

The following week after that Annihilator theft in the Watchtower, the founding members of the Justice League and the Prime Avengers gathered for a meeting to discuss what had to be done. "If only we could figure out what those folks at Cadmus are planning to do next" said Superman grimly "Then we might just stay one or two steps ahead of them."

"I still can't believe that Captain Boomerang was in on this" said Flash in frustration, last year at Christmas he had managed to put that scoundrel away along with the rest of the Rogues, with some help from Jesse Quick and Kid Flash.

"I know how that feels Wally" Spider-Man told him "But nevertheless we should be able to face them when the time comes."

"I've been doing some investigating recently" Batman said to all of them "Last week before the intruders stole the Annihilator, Lawton was somehow pardoned and released from prison in Louisiana, Harkness was let out of Iron Heights and then Fugate was pardoned and released from Arkham Asylum."

"But the Chameleon was already working with Cadmus" added Nightwing "So Doom, Zemo and Octavius must recommended him to work with the squad before they were sent up to infiltrate the Watchtower."

"Yes I agree" Batman answered "Somehow when the physicians were busy operating on Plastique, they discovered that she was injected with explosive nanites." He paused for a moment then continued "But then she was already dead in ten minutes before they could find a way to save her, which was 72 hours/three days after she got left behind."

The other members were completely shocked to hear this, they should have been able to find a cure for her in time "I can't believe that she's already dead" said Diana sadly in remorse "They should have been able to help her."

"Yes they should have" Batman told her "But now to get back to the subject at hand, after that public incident with the Ultimen almost destroying everything, Peter, Mainframe and I looked over that file on Task Force X and we learned that this project in particular was supposed to be a team of criminals for hire."

"Yeah it sure reminded me of how the Thunderbolts were brought together" said Spider-Man, the other members stared at him for a moment until Batman spoke up for him "Back in Parker's reality on Earth-616, there was a group of villains for hire called the Thunderbolts founded by Thaddeus Ross, before he became the Red Hulk. Its only purpose was to hire criminals to undergo top secret missions and give them a second chance at normal life by shortening their life sentences in prison."

"A similar thing was shown in the Task Force X file" Mainframe added "The squad members were each offered amnesty in exchange for their services, but should they disobey or try to desert their ranks then the nanites would kill them from inside." The other members were completely shocked to hear this, especially Diana "How could Cadmus do such a thing?" she asked in disbelief "That they would force these common criminals into doing their dirty work by threatening to take their lives?"

"From what I've learned so far, Amanda Waller only believes in leverage" Batman answered "It's only to make sure they follow through with whatever plans Cadmus has in store until after they've served for five years and are free to go."

"But how many members does the squad have now?" asked Donna "And how will we know what Cadmus' next move is?"

"That depends on how soon they want to get started" Spider-Man told her "I've asked Batgirl to research what Cadmus is planning to do next so we can be ready for them when they strike."

"How will she do that?" asked Kara/Supergirl curiously, the webslinger leaned in and whispered that Barbara had asked her father if she could move to New York, which an initiative to continue working on the Prime Avengers.(A/N)

"Oh that makes sense" said Kara as they turned back to the others and took control of the subject at hand. "Now what Nightwing, Spider-Man and Aqualad also found out about Cadmus" Batman continued "That after they'd send the squad to infiltrate the Tower, they would then send them to hunt down the A-Bomb." the other members were shocked including J'onn, M'gann and Rick.

"Why would they want to do that?" asked Rick in desperation, the minute Batman revealed that Cadmus was onto the A-Bomb, he was instantly reminded of how many times the Hulk was hunted down for extermination or to be used as a living weapon. "Because Dr. Octopus and another scientific head of Cadmus is planning to brainwash your alter ego." Batman told him "But in order to do that, they would have to find you while you're still plain old ordinary Rick Jones."


Meanwhile at a disclosed location

Rick Flagg, Helmut Zemo, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and the Clock King all were sitting at a round table that was wide enough to seat eight to eleven people. They were discussing the squad's next assignment when the doors opened, Zemo looked up and then rose from his chair "Ah Mr. Wilson! How good of you to come, I hope you've brought the recruits that I requested."

"I brought them alright" Slade answered "Although they seemed to be a little bit skeptical when I only told them that their services were needed." Following close behind him were the individuals that Zemo had sent him to find and bring to their location, it was two men and three women. One was a dark haired Japanese woman wearing a black dress under a tan trench coat with black high heels, her name was Tatsu Yamashiro and she went by the alias of Katana, a highly trained assassin who like Flagg, was authorized to be on the squad. Another was a tall African-American man wearing a yellow shirt under a brown leather jacket with tan jeans and brown boots, his name was Ben Turner and he was better known as Bronze Tiger who originally on the League of Assassins.

The other two women were somehow very recognizable as one was blond and the other was red-headed, the blonde's name was Harleen F. Quinzel, she was once a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum and later on became the Joker's personal sidekick and occasional girlfriend. The redhead's name was Pamela Isley and she was a botanist who later became a metahuman with the ability to control and manipulate plants, earning her the name of Poison Ivy.

The final member of the group was a huge scaly man who looked like a reptile, his name was Waylon Jones and he became a metahuman resulting from a skin condition that caused his skin to grow scales instead of hair. He also used to live in the sewers of Gotham City, and went by the alias of Killer Croc.

"Ah now that you're all here" Zemo told them "Let's get down to business right away." He then motioned to Fugate who turned on the same projector that was used for displaying the Watchtower's interiors and profiles for three of the Justice League's members, only this time it was showing the image of an unusual giant blue creature that was just as scaly as Killer Croc only bigger.

"What the hell is that?" demanded Turner

"That my friends" said Zemo "Is our objective, this is a creature known as the A-Bomb. he's a Gamma monster and has incredible strength that is fueled by his rage." The other members on the squad were shocked to hear what he just said, but he continued with the slideshow "The beast can also leap 100 to 500 feet in the air, he is very invulnerable unlike a few Kryptonians and has a major healing factor that allows him to regenerate very quickly."

He then changed the slideshow to the picture of a young man with brown hair and green eyes wearing blue jeans and a red flannel shirt "This is his other self, his true identity Richard Jones, a young college student who was experimented with a blood sample from Emil Blonsky Aka Abomination that caused him to transform into that blue creature I have just shown you. Whenever he is angered or agitated, he would transform into the A-Bomb but whenever he calms down then he reverts back into his normal human self."

"But how are we going to catch him?" demanded Croc "Considering that his own incredible strength would be a problem since you made it sound like his kind is lots stronger than Kryptonians. Now what kind of creature did you say he was?"

"A Gamma Monster" Zemo told him quite annoyed at having remind this ridiculous reptile about what they were dealing with. "Now the only way to capture him is to do it when he's still normal and here's how we're going to do it." He pulled up a picture of apartment complexes in New York City "Jones lives in an apartment in Queens, New York. He attends classes at Empire State University, studies in the field of radiation and is a founding member of the Prime Avengers."

The rest of them were stunned silent because the Prime Avengers were suppose to be the heavy hitter team of the Justice League, and they knew that it would be bad news if they ever crossed paths with them.

"The first step is to track him down to his location and wait for the right moment to nab him" Zemo explained "Next once we have cornered him, that's when Croc grabs him and holds him still while Ivy will use her toxins to hypnotize him into sleeping, then we take him back to Cadmus Headquarters so Dr. Moon and Dr. Octavius can proceed with erasing his memories and brainwashing him." He smiled deviously and glanced at the others "So what do you all think?"

"I think it's a challenge" said Deadshot "Sounds like an opportunity to get a reward for his capture" remarked Katana.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get him!" Killer Croc exclaimed.

"Before we go, there's something you've got to have Croc." Zemo told him as he reached into a cabinet and pulled out a vial containing a yellowish green liquid. The vial was also labeled with the sign of a lizard "What's this stuff?" asked Croc.

"Something to make you stronger" Zemo replied "Something that will give you a major upgrade and make you heal faster."

"Well what have I got to lose?" Croc took the vile and proceeded to consume the contents, soon enough he felt a strange sensation as he started to grow taller and a long scaly tail grew out from behind him.


Prime Avengers HQ

While this whole scenario was taking place, the heroes were busy making plans of their own. Right at that moment Spider-Man, Mainframe and the Atom were in the lab working on some nanites that would counteract the explosives that the members of Task Force X were injected with. "In a few more minutes, these babies will be ready for action" Atom remarked as he shrank down to miniscule size and examined the nanites up close, after a few minutes he finally returned to his normal size "Well I'd say it's finally ready to go."

Just then both their commlinks went off and Batman's voice pitched through "Spider-Man! Atom! I've just learned from Oracle that Waller is sending the squad to New York and their first move is to capture Rick Jones alive."

The wallcrawler and the size-changing hero exchanged glances, this was now the chance to make their move. But they had to come up with an idea to outsmart Task Force X, just then Peter's eyes lit up "I think I have an idea that might work, but it involves M'gann and her uncle."


Later on

Baron Zemo and the Suicide Squad headed towards New York City in an armored van, the squad members were really excited that they were finally going after their next objective. Now as the van drove into the Queens borough, Zemo pulled up alongside the most expensive apartment complex "Now remember" he told the others "As soon as the package leaves the building, we follow after him at once and not let him out of our sight."

"You got that right" remarked Captain Boomerang, and no sooner had he said that than a brown-haired teenage boy, a red-headed teenage girl and a much older man came walking out. The man and the teens were both talking, and Deadshot turned up the volume on the audio so the squad could hear what they were saying "I'm so glad we're going out to dinner tonight!" exclaimed the girl who standing next to the boy on the right. "Me too!" answered the boy who was standing right next to her "Yes we're both as excited as you are M'gann" said the man on the left.

"M'gann?" both Deadshot and Captain Boomerang straightened up at the mention of the girl's name "Where have we heard that name before?"

"Let me look that up for a minute" said Clock King's voice on the other end of the line, after a few moments he reported back "I believe that's suppose to be the niece of the Martian Manhunter, and she possesses the same powers as her uncle."

"Now I get it" said Deadshot "She's that green girl who was with the A-Bomb back on the Watchtower, I think she also goes by as Miss Martian."

"You got that right mate" Captain Boomerang told him as they continued to watch the scene unfold before them. The trio outside continued walking down the sidewalk, unaware that they were being watched and followed.

Before long they came to a fancy looking restaurant that was ten blocks down from the apartments. J'onn, Rick, and M'gann went inside to get a table and order dinner, while Zemo and the squad waited outside in the van.

"Now you all know the plan." Zemo told his crew "As soon as they come outside, we need to get the jump on them, everyone understand?"

"Okay we get it Baron" Captain Boomerang answered as he and the others got into position. While they were waiting for Rick Jones to come outside, Harley couldn't help noticing how Rick Jones was holding hands with the young redheaded girl who was seated with him at the table "It's so sweet that he's got his own girl with him" she cooed, prompting Ivy to glare in her direction.

"Harl this is not the time for sweetness" she said in annoyance. Croc, Deadshot and Boomerang looked at each other and smirked they heard that, Deathstroke simply shook his head in disgust "That's enough!" Zemo's voice came over the commlink "Here they come now!"

Before too long, their main objectives came strolling outside the restaurant and were heading straight for the Museum of Natural History. That was their signal, the squad quickly sprang out from their hiding places and surrounded the trio, just as they were going to the car that was parked in an alley. "Alright Mr. Jones that's far enough" said Deathstroke sternly "You're coming with us back to Cadmus whether you want to or not."

"No!" M'gann stepped in front of Rick and blocked him from the mercenary's gun "If you want to take him, you'll have go through us first."

"With pleasure" growled Bronze Tiger as he lunged forward, unsheathing his claws. Deathstroke and Katana drew their swords and attacked, Captain Boomerang threw his boomerangs at the Martians. Deadshot opened fire with his weapons, while Croc, Harley, and Ivy followed suite. J'onn quickly transformed into the humanoid version of a serpent-like creature with muscular arms, sharp horns, and a long tail. Then he managed to fight off the squad while M'gann phased Rick through a wall into a solitary building.

"Deadshot!" barked Zemo angrily "Croc, Ivy! Rick Jones is getting away! Remember the plan and don't be distracted." The three Gotham rogues did as they were told, they followed where the Martian girl had phased through the wall, and there also was a door and a window at the spot. "This particular spot seems the likely place to open a door." Poison Ivy remarked pulling a potted plant out of her handbag and threw it at the wall, the pot shattered upon impact but the plant instantly expanded and vines grew all over the door and window.

The vines broke the glass in the window and slipped through a crack in the right side of the door. Sure enough, the vines tightened around the section of the wall between the door and the window, forming a giant rectangle.

"Okay Croc, time to do your stuff" Deadshot told his reptilian comrade, so with that Killer Croc smashed through the wall with his lizard enhanced strength. As soon as the trio got inside, they spotted a figure heading for the back door "There he goes, grab him!" yelled Ivy, prompting Croc to lunge forward and grab Jones around the waist. "Now we've got ya!" sneered the large reptilian man while the plant lady used her toxic hormones on the young man who struggled in Croc's arms.

"It's like I already told you Mr. Jones" said Deadshot "You're coming with us whether you want to or not." Just as Ivy was using her toxins on their primary target, she realized it wasn't even working on him. "What's going on here? Why isn't working?" she demanded "It's always worked before."

"That's because you've got the wrong one" someone answered, they turned and were completely flabbergasted to see what looked like Rick Jones standing on top of a stack of wooden crates. "Bet you didn't see this coming, did you?"

"Or this?" asked the other Rick who suddenly slipped out of Killer Croc's grasp, sprouted extra arms, and morphed revealing to be M'gann in disguise.

"So the Martian Manhunter's niece can also change forms, how very clever" Ivy remarked dryly as she manipulated her vines to attack the Martian girl who just phased right through them. Then Croc sprang for Rick who managed to dodge just in time, while Deadshot fired off his pistols to try and wound the boy. But Rick just kept dodging and rolling until he made outside, but just when he thought he was safe, four thugs surrounded him in the alley outside.


(I'm attempting make something similar to that one part in Marvel's The Incredible Hulk, when Dr. Banner was being chased by the army in Peru).

"Well, well, well, what do we have here guys?" remarked the leader who was very bald and covered in scars. "Looks like this kid just got lost in the alleyway" said a second who looked really mean and had ugly tattoos, the other two had beards and all four of them surrounded poor Rick who looked as if he had nowhere else to run.

"Now I don't want any trouble" he tried to tell them off "But you guys don't want to be here when something bad happens."

"Oh the kid thinks he can just scare us off like that" the third thug laughed, the others joined in his laughter. "Nice try kid, but it looks like trouble just found you" added the fourth, so with that they all pounced on him and each of them took turns hitting him in the stomach until he doubled over in pain "Stop it! You'll make me angry!" he cried out trying to warn them, but to no avail.

"You angry?" laughed the leader, not believing what he had just heard, then they started kicking on him. At that moment Deadshot came out into the alley, Croc and Poison Ivy were still inside dealing with Miss Martian "Okay, break it up!" he barked pointing his guns at the thugs who backed slowly away "That kid is coming with me, if you don't mind now back off!"

The first of the thugs was about to throw a knife at the mercenary when something latched onto his foot, unfortunately the alley was too dark to see anything in. The leader was yanked off his feet and sent flying over the rooftops, that was followed by a loud enraged roar that no one had ever heard before. "Oh shit!" one of the other thugs yelled out, they tried to run away, but a blue gargantuan hand with three fingers snatched them up. Deadshot was completely shocked, this was not the way the mission was suppose to go.

"Zemo we got a proplem here" he called into his communicator, he was just about to report the situation when a guttural growl was heard "Leave me alone!" the mercenary turned around in time to see a big blue gargantuan creature emerge from the shadows, Deadshot was petrified at the sight of the creature and before he could blink an eye, the A-Bomb lunged forward. Deadshot turned tail and ran back the way he came, the A-Bomb bellowed loudly and chased after him. Just as he was heading back into the building, a golden lasso wrapped around his waist and pulled him off his feet.

"Going somewhere Lawton?" asked a familiar female voice, he looked up and saw one of the same people who apprehended him the same night he tried to kill Aquaman again.

"Lady you have no idea what you're dealing with." He sneered, but he soon regretted what he just said when the A-Bomb tried to grab at his feet, but Wonder Woman lifted the mercenary away.

"No A-Bomb" she said sternly "This man is not as big and strong as you are, so I'll take him from here." the Gamma Beast grunted reluctantly, but he put his hands down so the Amazon could deal with the hitman.

Back in the building, Miss Martian was still dealing with Poison Ivy and Killer Croc, whenever Ivy would aim living vines at her, M'gann would just phase right through them. Croc on the other hand, was a different matter, whenever he charged at her, she would just phase right through him or change into something else close to his size "Give it up little girl, there's no way you'll beat both of us at the same time" taunted Ivy.

"Oh I know" M'gann answered "But I know they can." No sooner had she said that, when Killer Croc was knocked down by a pair of feet, and crashed into a wall. The feet belonged to Spider-Man who swung inside just in time to join the battle.

"Well it looks like the rest of us got here just in time to join the party." He remarked as Killer Croc got to his feet again "You'll regret that bug boy!" he snarled as he lunged forward. Peter somersaulted over the reptilian villain and kicked him in the back "Ow! His back is thicker than adamantium!" the wallcrawler groaned after he landed behind the villain. Croc tried to swat the arachnid hero with his new tail, but Peter's spider sense warned him just in time and he jumped to avoid the attack from Croc's tail. Just then two grappling hooks shot out and embedded themselves in the villain's back, Killer Croc cried out in immense pain as he fell down flat on his face. Spider-Man looked up and saw Batman and Nightwing standing there "Thanks for the assist, now to inject him with the antidote."

Batman nodded before stooping and injecting the back of Croc's neck with a dosage of the antidote "Now we'd better take care of the others" the Dark Knight implied, the two young men nodded before taking off to tackle the other squad members.

Peter shot his webs, latched onto Deathstroke and Bronze Tiger, and yanked them backwards, the two men were slammed against a brick wall before being encased in webbing. "Hey! What's the big idea?!" yelled out Bronze Tiger, before he was poked by a square needle from a small gun "Ow! What was that for?"

"That was to cancel out the nanites in your system" Batman told him before turning to Deathstroke "When this is all over, I want you to give Waller a message."

"We'll see about that." Deathstroke growled in frustration, the other squad members were similar difficulties. Captain Boomerang threw four of his sharp boomerangs at Miss Martian who was busy with Poison Ivy, only for the Flash to appear out of nowhere and catch them with his gloved hands "Crikey! Where did you learn to throw boomerangs at a lady Digger?" exclaimed Wally, imitating an Australian accent, that made Harkness really angry that he threw some more of his boomerangs, but the speedster kept on dodging them.

At that moment, Katana joined Poison Ivy in the fight with Miss Martian by throwing her knives at the Martian girl, but just like with the vines, M'gann turned intangible and let the knives fly right through her. "Okay girly, you asked for this!" Harley tried to pummel her with a great big wooden mallet by jumping off a stack of crates, but a silver lasso wrapped around her waist and pulled her upward "Hey let me go!" she yelled when she turned around and saw that it was Wonder Woman's younger sister Troia in her all black uniform.

"Hold on Harl, I'm coming!" Ivy called out as she threw some ivy seeds to grow all over and entangle Donna, but an explosive batarang imploded on the seeds in midair. "I'm afraid not" said Batgirl as she and Supergirl arrived on the scene, Poison Ivy was very incensed when she saw the girl of steel and the female dark knight. "So we meet again you two." she said "But I certainly hope to make it the last time."

She pulled a bag of ivy seeds out of her pocket and was about to throw it at the pair, only for M'gann to grab her from behind. "I heard that you can control plants with your mind" she told her as the plant woman struggled to get free "Let me show you what I can do with my mind!" so with that, M'gann M'orzz proceeded to pour out her telepathy into Pamela Isley's mind, the plant woman screamed in pain until she passed out.

Katana lashed out with her sword when she saw what happened to Poison Ivy, but just as she was about strike M'gann, her sword hit against something hard and broke upon impact. The assassin was shocked to see that her most treasured possession had been damaged, and shattered when she accidentally hit Supergirl who blocked the attack just in time.

"Well maybe in case you haven't heard the news about me or my cousin" Kara told her "Then allow me to clarify why I can't be hurt." She snatched up the Japanese assassin, flew her to the other side of the building, and tied her up in chains.

"Zemo! The rest of the squad has been taken out!" Clock King's voice came over the intercom in the van "You have to get out of there now!" Zemo was shocked and angry at what he was hearing, he couldn't believe that Task Force X was losing. "No it can't be!" he shouted "not when I'm so close!"

"I'm afraid that's not an option" Clock King replied, Zemo lowered his head reluctantly knowing that Fugate was right. "Alright I'm leaving, just inform Waller that the mission was a failure." He started up the van and was leaving the parking lot when the windshield got covered in a substance of webbing "What is this?" he demanded, then he realized what the substance really was. "No it can't be! It can't…" he protested.

"Oh I'm afraid it is" answered a familiar young voice, at that moment the driver's door was ripped open and a pair of strong hands grabbed Zemo and pulled him outside. The former HYDRA agent landed against a blue mailbox and barely recovered when he was encased in webbing "Zemo" said Spider-Man sternly "This is the luckiest day of your life, you're going to prison in Iron Heights instead of going back to Earth-616." The villain slumped in frustration, he couldn't believe that his plan to capture Rick Jones had failed.

At that moment, the Flash came speeding up to the scene "the rest of Task Force X has been given the nanite antidote" he reported "With the exception of Zemo, Deathstroke, and Kantana."

"Good" Spider-Man answered "Now we'll make that Deathstroke delivers a message to not only Cadmus, but also to Doom and Octavius."


The next day at Cadmus HQ

"THEY DID WHAT?!" Doom shouted, the entire Cadmus staff outside the meeting room flinched at the sound of his loud voice. "Yes I know that sounds bad…." Slade began, but Doom cut him off "Save it Wilson! As for now you're finished on Task Force X. Which means you will no longer be allowed to go on any suicide missions, so the next time the squad goes to retrieve the A-Bomb, you won't be invited and Colonel Flagg will personally be leading, now get out of here until we need you again."

Slade was fuming, he couldn't believe that of all things, they were letting him let go. He turned and left while the heads of Cadmus turned back to the matter at hand "I still can't believe that the squad carelessly lost that fight!" said Waller angrily "We worked so hard on planning to capture Rick Jones!" the other heads of Cadmus nodded their heads, Doom, Luthor and Octavius exchanged glances, Zemo had certainly served his purpose. Now they had to make their next move before it was too late, Waller still had no idea that she was being played for a fool.


Later on

Professor Hamilton sat at his desk in his apartment going over some personal research, unlike Amanda Waller, he was unaware of Doom, Luthor and Octavius' true intentions. His mind was on getting his precious Galatea ready for the next level, Kaine on the other hand was getting prepared for when he would face his so-called brother. While Jason Todd the clone of Nightwing was sent away by Dr. Doom on a few personal errands. The professor had just poured a glass of whiskey when a voice called out depriving his thoughts.

"Hamilton!" he looked up and saw a lone figure wearing a red and blue spandex suit standing in the doorway to the balcony. Hamilton guessed this had to be the amazing Spider-Man that he heard so much about on the news "Oh it's just you."

"I'm sure you'll understand" the webslinger told him "That it was an absolute waste of time for Waller to send her stupid little Suicide Squad to capture the A-Bomb and risk being defeated. In fact, she should have thought of that before assigning those crooks any suicide missions."

"Well that's just typical" answered the professor before he took a drink, and turned back to his work "If they had succeeded in capturing Mr. Jones, then Cadmus would have had the most ultimate superweapon in the universe, should the Justice League ever go rogue."

"So that's what this is all about." Spider-Man said angrily "Humanity doesn't need protection from the members of the Justice League or the Prime Avengers. Hell if Supergirl were to ever find out that you're working with Cadmus, she'll be highly upset because she used to like you so much."

"Is that so?" retorted Hamilton "On the contrary Spider-Man, the real reason I'm working with Project Cadmus is only in case Superman was to go rogue again."

Spider-Man was very livid "So you're working with these people all because the Boy Scout went physical on you when he brought his younger cousin to STAR Labs for medical treatment. Well I'm so sorry for what happened, really I am, but you didn't have to go and betray him all because he had been brainwashed by Darkseid." He paused for a moment then continued "One last thing, if you still have a sense of right and wrong, then you would know that the only people who have gone rogue are the ones at Cadmus, so they're the ones who are going to jail."

So with that, the webslinger went out the way he entered, leaped off the balcony and swung away leaving the isolated professor to his thoughts and his research.


Later that evening at 10:00 PM in New York City

Peter came out of his shower and dried off after a whole day of studying at New York University, taking pictures for the local newspaper, web-swinging and catching crooks before finally coming home to have supper and get a shower. He was still very livid about Hamilton's ill-mannered opinions about both Superman and Supergirl, and was very tired that he lay down to rest. Just then a slender arm wrapped around him "Did you miss me?" asked a familiar voice that he knew all too well, Peter turned around on the bed and saw that it was Kara all dressed for bed. "Kara? What are you doing here?"

"Oh I thought I'd come over to keep you company, you know after that Suicide Squad fiasco. I figured that we should spend more time together." She snuggled closer against him and he wrapped his arms around her. Deep down inside, he was considering telling her about Hamilton's betrayal and the fact that he was the one responsible for creating Galatea. But he couldn't do so because of his promise to Superman, he knew it be upsetting to Kara if she were to find out how she was cloned and that Galatea survived their first battle.

"Peter what's wrong?" asked Kara feeling concerned for how he expressed his emotions "Oh it's nothing Kara" he told her "I'm just concerned on how we're going to beat Cadmus is all."

"We can beat them, and we will" she told him determinedly, she took his face in her hands and made him look at her "Deep down in my heart, I believe we can beat them and we'll vanquish any obstacle that gets in our way, I promise you." Then she lay her head down on his shoulder and they slept together for the first time.


Well chapter 11 is finally done! Now the next chapter is going to feature my first original character(OC), and will be all about Kara graduating from high school and going to Empire State University. I once thought of having this chapter end with Peter and Kara or M'gann and Rick making love for the first time, but considered that it would be better if it was saved for one of the later chapters. Loki will be brought up again soon enough, you all will find out what Doom, Luthor and Octavius are plotting together and why. As for now I just want ya'll to know that I'm busy working on the first chapter of a brand new story, and it's called TOTALLY SPIDER-MAN!(crossover of Totally Spies! and Ultimate Spider-Man. So whatever you do, don't hesitate to post your reviews at the bottom.

I originally thought of having Barbara become Oracle in this chapter, but changed my mind when I figured that could be saved for when she, Huntress, and Black Canary have formed the Birds of Prey. Just not in this story, since I figure that the Birds of Prey could be saved for the sequel.

Also, I figured to slate that Baron Zemo was voiced by David Kaye in 'Avengers Assemble'. Not to mention the fact that Ron Perlman was one of the actors who voiced Deathstroke, as well as being the voice of Clayface in 'Batman:TAS' and the voice of Orion in 'Superman:TAS'.

Baron Zemo (David Kaye)

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Ron Perlman)

Temple Fugate/the Clock King (Alan Richins)

Poison Ivy (Diane Pershing)

Harley Quinn (Arleen Sorkin)

Killer Croc/Waylon Jones (Brooks Gardner)

Katana (Stephanie Sheh)

Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger (Billy Brown)

By the way, here's a trivia of the villains(except Zemo and Katana) who on the Suicide Squad in this story, and the heroes they were at odds with:

HERO ROGUE

Batman Deadshot & Killer Croc

Nightwing Deathstroke

Spider-Man Chameleon
