oh hey before we start I thought I'd get in a bit of shameless advertising, I published a one shot of how I would write Marvel Legacy if any of you are interested, admittedly I know way more on DC than I do on Marvel, so... yeah.

anyways this chapter, it's very basic, there's not much to it, I just decided to give us a somewhat nice villain talk... yeah you'll see what I mean as you read the chapter, by the way I am skipping most of volume 2 of RWBY because I consider that to be the weakest volume of the web show, all things considered.

chapter 12

Roman Torchwick overlooked the operations that were currently being headed, his current employer was out, so he was uncharge, he had no idea where her little henchmen were... oh speak of the devil, once he found out where they had been and had given them a lengthy talking to his employer showed up and had grilled both him and then her henchmen (look I'm not going to write down what is in cannon so I'm just putting these up and giving a brief summary)

''hmm not very well disciplined I see'' said a voice, the four partners looked up to see a figure hiding out in the shadows.

''oh your hear'' said Cinder.

''yes, results from you have been... disappointing to say the least'' said the man walking out to the shadows revealing who he was.

''BATMAN!'' cried Roman raising his cane, but Cinder grabbed his cane and lowered it, causing both Emerald and Mercury to look at her confused.

''no look closer'' she said.

this was defiantly not Batman, he had a suit like Batman but it looked completely different, it looked for lack of better words smoother, it was grey in colour, it had a silver steel cowl that more resembled that of a bird that a bat, the cowl had two large blue optics that seemed to work like binoculars, he had single spikes forwards pointing blade spikes on his gauntlets, it had a silver utility belt and the main difference was instead of the iconic Bat symbol the symbol on this guys chest looked to be that of an owls head.

''meet Owlman'' said Cinder in a very clearly spiteful voice.

''greetings I'm guessing you two are her lacky's and you are... well... your her business partner'' said Owlman, Torchwick just groaned at his appearance.

''so what we have a Batman on our side?'' asked Torchwick.

with those words Owlman spun around, grabbed Torchwick by the throat and pinned him to one of the crates before pulling out an Owlarang and holding it up to Torchwicks throat.

Torchwick struggled to make words out of his strangulation ''I mean so we have an Oilman, to counter there copy bat or there you know there rip off Owlman, cause your clearly better and-''

Owlman slammed the Owlarang deeply into the crate and held Torchwick up hissing ''if you ever state that I am a 'Batman' ever again I will crush your windpipe go it!''

Torchwick quickly nodded and Owlman dropped him before turning to Cinder ''nice place, it actually looks like a working operation'' stated Owlman.

''what are you doing hear?'' scoffed Cinder.

''why should I not be hear, were allies in this aren't we?'' asked Owlman.

''well since you lost the Court of Owls I thought you'd be hiding in sha-''

''I didn't lose it I cleansed it'' stated Owlman.

''cleansed it?'' asked Emerald.

''yes, it was a rather simple process'' stated Owlman ''you see it was a rather simple process, those old fools all gathered up in there secret hiding place, they figured they'd be safe especially when I got there saying I would quote 'protect them' unquote, but they didn't notice as I slipped poison in there wine''

''you wipeout out one of our greatest allies!?'' snarled Cinder.

''yes and no'' said Owlman.

''what do mean? and pray for your sake it is a good answer or I will kill you!'' growled Cinder.

''hey kids do you have any popcorn?'' whispered Torchwick ''cause this is getting good''

''simple to prevent our operation from being discovered and hear she told me you were smart'' said Owlman causing Cinder to growl ''now let me explain it, you see Batman was onto them, he was about to capture them and find out my lady's plans, the Court members gather there would turn on her and reveal her plans as a deal to get themselves out of prison, so by killing them off I not only protected her but fooled Batman as he now believes the Court is dead, but in reality the Court is very much around, but only the most loyal and influential members and not only in Vale but also in Atlas, Vacuo and Minstrel, all in all that one move has done more than your quest to gain power ever has''

Cinder snarled ''I would have gotten the power if you were there to help''

''yes, shame that I offered and you turned it down'' said Owlman solubly causing Cinder to growl more ''another shame that I did offer a much more capable candidate for that power only for her to be turned down for you''

''why are you hear Owlman or are just to annoy me?'' asked Cinder.

''if I wanted to do that I'd just continue sending Random Emoji's to your scroll'' grinned Owlman ''no I'm hear to tell you we must speed up plans, what with your failures, now you know our main objective now speed it up''

''I can't this is delicate operation Owlman'' stated Cinder.

''then hear let me speed it up for you, Pyrrha Niko's semblance is polarity, the unit Torchwick saw last night is an android designated P.E.N.N.Y. and Yang Xaio Long is known for having and explosive temper, there I've given you the story now run with it'' stated Owlman walking off as a heavily armoured Tank-like Car pulled up, the car had a very clear Owl like theme and was a nice silver colour ''now if you will excuse me I must carry on, doing you know work that is actually competent''

As the car drove off Cinder let out a growl ''DAMN HIM!'' she screamed punching the side of a crate denting it.

''well look on the bright side?'' Emerald struggled.

''what bright side Emerald, please tell me what Bright side is there!'' growled Cinder.

''well he's not right?'' shrugged Emerald ''operations are going well and to plan, he's pretty much exaggerating''

''I guess'' said Cinder.

''he's not as bad as the new guy'' said Mercury.

''which reminds me where did you find him? and why did you hire him?'' asked Torchwick.

''simple'' said a new voice walking out ''now Owllie may be our perfect copy for old batsie he's not the perfect solution, she needs someone capable to kill the bat, where she found me... well, ya little ice cream girl actually found me Torchwick, so ya might wanna talk to her about it... no issue, point is she knows I've got what it takes to kill the Bat and adding my organisation to hers will quickly bolster results... besides...''

As he walked out they could see his full appearance, he was the same age as they were, he had surprisingly pale skin that would give a Schnee a run for there money, he had Green hair that was coated with gel and combed back, he was quite muscular with multiple tattoos, one of these tattoos was a J under one of his eyes, he had multiple signature rings on one hand, he had deranged eyes of a killer and a rashly drawn makeup smile.

''wait till they get a load of me!''

so yeah there we go, for those of you who want Torchwick to be the Joker, don't worry it's as I said, were incorporating the 'there's three jokers' plot line in DC.

Yes he is going to be involved with Neo after asking over and over and over again to the point of frustration finally the question was answered in my Remnants Freelancer fic where I asked the question of who she should be there, I mean seriously when I was writing this originally I was getting so frustrated with how nobody was responding to that poll, but yeah she is Harley Quinn in this.
