Baddest of the Bad part 2

Meanwhile close by at a local Supermarket. The ex-Captain of the Furies otherwise known as Barda was busy grocery shopping. Being as big as she was it attracted a lot of attention from potential on-lookers but Barda was in for a surprise of her own when she'd bump into someone almost as tall as herself.

Barda shot her head from left to right as she scanned all the different items on the shelves, but then she jerked forward having knocked her cart in someone else.

"Oh I'm sorry." Said Barda turning now to face the person she'd hit." I-" But she suddenly stopped as she came eye to eye with a familiar face." Lashina!" he said surprised with her eyes bugged open.

"Barda." Repeated Lashina in a mocking tone as she cocked her head to the side." What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here?" asked Barda pointing to herself." What are you doing here." She said pointing her finger into Lashina's face.

"Oh." Said Lashina just turning down to her cart and fingering her way through the different products she had in there." Just some vegetables, poultry, milk, you know the daily essentials." Barda only looked at her confused, wondering how yet another ex-Captain of the furies was on earth was beyond her." And what do you have?" asked Lashina as she leaned over and looked into Barda's cart." Some of the same things." She said examining it.

"No." said Barda." Don't look in there."

"Oh but what's this." She said moving aside some of the items and seeing a few more." Tampons, diapers, Pregnancy test-" Then she slowly lifted up her head and looked at Barda who was standing there with her face red." Huh." Said Lashina looking Barda over.

"Mister Miracle and I are trying to have a baby." Barda responded quietly.

"Uh-huh." Replied Lashina." And how does Mister Miracle feel about your." She stopped short a second to let out a snort." Monster hands?" Then Lashina burst out into a laugh. Barda looked down at her hands, back on Apokolips all the other furies would make fun of her for their large size and strength."Oh what were the nicknames we had for you?" asked Lashina to herself." Big Bitch Barda, Truckasourous."

"Why you." Grunted Barda moving forward to swing at Lashina.

"Mind your blood pressure." Said Lashina." Granny always warned you about that boiling point." Barda just grunted, turned and walked away.

"We also called you Sherlie Temper." Called out Lashina. Then in one quick motion Barda swung around and punched Lashina in the face, sending her flying back and into the wall. Lashina lay there groaning and holding her head when Barda walked up and stood over her. Then two then looked up at each other, the silence dragging on and on as they regarded the other.

"You wanna go grab some lunch?" asked Barda. Being that the two were different people now they shouldn't have a problem acting as everyday members of society.

Meanwhile back with the battle of Lobo vs. Jonah Hex vs. Deathstroke.

Jonah rode down the street on his black horse while Lobo hovered behind him. Jonah turned back and fired his pistols at Lobo. The bullets ricocheted off his bike, narrowly missing Lobo's head. Deathstroke was in pursuit on foot, not too far behind.

Lobo leaned over on his bike to see Jonah below him firing at him.

"Alright." Grunted Lobo." Enough is enough." Then he revved up his engine and went full speed. Lobo flew across the air much faster than Jonah on his horse.

Looking forward Jonah suddenly saw Lobo there, getting over his bike. Jonah quickly gripped the reins of his horse and slapped down hard on them, making his horse go faster.

"Oh yea." Smiled Lobo as he saw the cowboy riding right for him on his horse." Here we go." Jonah only picked up speed as he rode faster and faster on his horse, the distance between the two closing.

Then right before Lobo would have been hit Jonah's horse jumped into the hair and clear over him. But as he jumped over Lobo reached up and grabbed onto Jonah's arm, then he swung him down off his horse and slammed him into the ground. Jonah tried to get up but Lobo stomped his foot on Jonah's back crushing him into the earth more. Lobo prepared to stomp down on him again but then Deathstroke appeared. He jumped out and rammed Lobo into his bike.

Deathstroke ran up to strike him again but Lobo kicked up his leg and kicked Deathstroke into the air. The world's greatest assassin flew back and into a lamppost. He lay there under it but him hitting caused the light to fall out and hit him in the head. After that Deathstroke was in a daze, everything went all fuzzy.

He looked up and saw Jonah going toe to toe with Lobo. Lobo swung down his fist but Jonah jumped back and dodged causing Lobo to punch the ground. Then Jonah jumped forward and punched Lobo in the face. The hits obviously didn't hurt him but it slowed him down.

But then Deathstroke heard something, screaming.

"Oh my god!" yelled a woman. Deathstroke looked over and saw bystanders moving out of the way of the battle, amongst them a little boy." C'mon Johnny." Said a woman as she grabbed onto the boy and took him to safety.

"Johnny?" questioned Deathstroke. And then it began he suddenly remembered back to a long time ago in Vietnam. And after all the places he'd been and all the men he killed, Deathstroke hated Vietnam and the VC the most.

He remember himself as a young Colonel only 16 too young to even sign up but he knew Uncle Sam needed him, so he lied about his age and signed up.

He remembers he was at camp with several other soldiers around. Colonel Wilson shaving himself with his combat knife. He looked in the mirror and noticed one of his buddies writing a letter.

"Hey Johnny." Colonel Wilson said." What have you got there?"

"Just a letter to my girl back home, sir." Replied Johnny. Then in a split second the silence was broken by gunfire and Johnny was fired upon. One second he was there alive, the next dead covered in blood. Colonel Wilson quickly ran over to his body.

"Johnny." He yelled as he stood over him. " Johnny!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. The Viet Cong struck after that, armed with only his combat knife and a shovel Colonel Wilson fought them all off, the only survivor of that dreadful battle. He screamed the whole time." JOHNNY!"

Now in present day the flash bang came back and he was screaming 'Johnny' at the top of his lungs.

Both Lobo and Jonah stopped their attacks to look over at him. Deathstroke then pulled his sword off his back and then screaming at the top of his lungs jumped up and swung down at his two enemies.

Lobo and Jonah jumped out of the way as Deathstroke swung down, only managing to stab his sword into the ground. But then Deathstroke kicked out his back leg and hit Jonah in the chest causing him to fall back onto the ground.

But Lobo was sneaking up behind Deathstroke. But then then assassin pulled his sword from the ground and turned around and swung, slashing Lobo across his chest causing blood to come out. Lobo quickly jumped back as Deathstroke lunged forward and swung his sword. Lobo jumped back once more dodging him. Then Deathstroke pointed his sword forward and jabbed it at Lobo, who jumped over Deathstroke's head and onto the ground behind him. But when he landed Jonah was right there, with his pistol in hand. Jonah swung up and pistol whipped Lobo across the face.

The giant man stumbled off and onto the ground. Then Jonah ran up and attacked Deathstroke. He aimed his arm forward and prepared to shot him in the head. But Deathstroke shot up his arm and turned Jonah's aim. When the fired the bullet just based by Deathstroke's head.

Then Deathstroke stepped forward and stomped on Jonah's foot, then head-butted him forcing him to stumbled back. Then Deathstroke raised his sword and prepared to strike. But Jonah just took off his jacket and flung it up at Deathstroke blocking his view. Deathstroke swung down and when he did he cut the jacket in half, only Jonah was nowhere to be found.

Deathstroke then looked over and saw Jonah coming at him. The cowboy ran up and punched Deathstroke in the face causing him to drop his sword, then punched him a second time. But then Deathstroke grabbed his wrist, lifted Jonah over his back and then flung him to the ground.

Jonah looked up and saw Deathstroke standing there. But then Lobo jumped in and tackled Deathstroke into a car. The vehicle was nearly destroyed, almost ripped in two. Then Lobo punched Deathstroke in the face, then a second time, and finished with a knee to his stomach. Deathstroke fell onto his knees.

Then Lobo grabbed onto his head, turned around and then flung him into Jonah Hex. The two hit each other and landed on the ground. Then they looked up and saw Lobo standing over them. The Main Man leaned down and grabbed both of them by their heads.

Meanwhile in a nearby café were Barda and Lashina.

Lashina had just finished recalling her tale of how she escaped Apokolips and had ended up on earth.

"And seeing as how this is the only place Darkseid has never taken." Told Lashina." It seemed like a good place to start over."

"Huh." Replied Barda." Suddenly it all makes sense." Then she stopped for a second and took a sip of her drink.

"Well what have you been up to in your time here?" asked Lashina sitting back.

"The same old thing all the other earth people do." Barda replied leaning on the table." Quiet life, start a family."

"Oh right with this Mister Miracle."

"His name's Scott actually."

"Oh Scott." Lashina said sarcastically waving her hands.

"So tell me." Said Barda sitting back." This there a man in your life now?"

"Huh?" asked Lashina cocking her head at Barda.

"A certain special someone?"

"Well." Said Lashina as she hung her head." There was this one guy." She remembered back to not too long ago when she had an encounter with a bounty hunting cowboy on a mission to catch the Joker to find his way home.

"Really?" asked Barda." What was his name?"

"I um… I don't know." Replied Lashina looking back at her.

"You don't know his name?" questioned Barda with a raised brow.

"It was a spur of the moment." Told Lashina." I saw him and I couldn't help the feelings I was getting. I-"

But she stopped because suddenly the window right next to the two broke open and two men flew into the café. Then suddenly a giant white man appeared in the newly broken window.

Deathstroke and Jonah flew into the café and landed on top of each other. The two laid there on the ground, rolling around, groaning.

Barda, Lashina, and the rest of the by-standers in the café all looked on in shock.

Jonah reached his arm up and grabbed onto a table then he helped himself up. Deathstroke balancing himself out on counter did the same. The two stood there and panted as they regained themselves.

As Jonah helped himself up he observed his surroundings and that's when he looked eyes with a familiar face. He and Lashina looked at each other from across the café. But then Lobo jumped into the window and then down onto the ground.

"Don't tell me your done losers." He said cracking his neck as he began walking towards them.

"Hex." Groaned Deathstroke at Jonah snapping him out of his gaze with Lashina. Jonah turned over to him." I think you and I should unite for now against our common enemy."

"Agreed." Said Jonah. Then together the two turned and looked at the advancing Lobo. Lobo gave a malicious grin as he came towards the two.

Then in a quick instance Jonah reached for his belt and pulled out his two pistols, Deathstroke pulled out two uzi's and together the two began firing at Lobo. But the reaction was something they didn't expect.

Lobo just stood there and took it, the bullets bouncing off his skin. The bystanders ducked down as the gunfire rang out and the bullets ricocheted around. Lobo stood there and yawned while Jonah and Deathstroke exhausted all their firepower.

"Are you done?" asked Lobo." If that's all you got" He said taking a step forward." Then I'll just-" But he stopped because out of the corner of his eye he saw something very interesting. He saw Barda and Lashina there.

So suddenly forgetting about his current battle Lobo jumped over and leaned on the table, overlooking the two." Hello Ladies." He said addressing them. Barda and Lashina looked to each other confused, Jonah and Deathstroke did the same.

"How are we supposed to stop him?" said Deathstroke to Jonah." Nothing we've got can stop him."

"Not quite." Said Jonah." I might have something." Then he reached behind his back for something as he moved on Lobo.

"I don't mean to blow my own horn here." Said Lobo as he tried to seduce the two women. "But I'm kind of a big deal." He darted his eyes between the two of them seeing their faces relatively unimpressed. " But how about-"

And that was the last thing he said because the he heard the sound of clicking behind him. He turned his head sideways to see what it was, and when he did there was Jonah with a sawed-off shotgun pointed to the back of Lobo's head.

Lobo moved to react but Jonah didn't give him a chance and pulled the trigger, causing Barda and Lashina to jump as Lobo's skull blew open and his blood shot out all over them.

Jonah let out a casual sigh as he stood there covered in blood as he reloaded his shotgun. Then he turned his head up and saw both Lashina and Barda looking at him with wide-eyes. Jonah kept his eyes on Lashina the whole time but then he looked over at Barda, seeing that she was a very big woman even bigger than Lashina.

"Oh great." He said." Another one."

"Another what?" asked Barda.

"Hex." Called Deathstroke from behind him. Jonah turned half-way to look at Deathstroke. The Assassin drew his sword from his back." Arm yourself."

Jonah turned his back on the ladies fully now and raised up his sawed off, then he pointed it at Deathstroke.

But before he could fire Deathstroke jumped forward and hit the gun with his sword, causing Jonah to fire in the other direction. Then Deathstroke rammed Jonah with his shoulder and slammed him into Barda and Lashina's table.

With Deathstroke's sword caught with Jonah's sawed-off he reached into his belt and pulled out a small knife.

Jonah saw the knife coming towards him and put out his arm to block, catching Deathstroke's wrist. The two struggled against each other. While there Deathstroke looked past Jonah and at Barda and Lashina." Big Bitch." he muttered.

"I know right." replied Jonah. Then he head-butted Deathstroke, forcing him back.

Then Jonah stood up and pulled his bowie knife and tomahawk from his belt. The two slowly began circling each other, wielding their weapons in a threatening manner.

Then Deathstroke armed with his sword and knife did battle with Jonah armed with his knife and tomahawk.

Deathstroke lunged forward and swung his sword but Jonah blocked with his bowie knife. Then Jonah swung forward with his tomahawk but Deathstroke jumped back narrowly avoiding it as it slashed his jumpsuit.

Then Jonah jumped forward and swung down with his Tomahawk but Deathstroke put up his sword and blocked. Then Jonah jabbed forward with his bowie knife but Deathstroke blocked with his own knife. Then Deathstroke swung his head forward and head-butted Jonah back. Jonah stumbled back and then Deathstroke kicked him in the chest, sending him back into a table.

Then Deathstroke lunged forward and tried to jab Jonah but the cowboy moved out of the way, then he hit Deathstroke in the face with the end of his bowie knife.

Deathstroke stumbled back and when he looked up again Jonah ran up and kicked him in the face. Deathstroke flew back out the door of the café and into the street. Jonah followed after him.

Deathstroke stood back up and pointed his sword and knife at Jonah, ready for more fighting.

Lashina and Barda continued to watch from where they sat. But then something strange happened, Lobo's body began to move.

The two looked on in shock as he began to stand up and take shape again.

"Oh." He groaned." I'm gonna feel that tomorrow." Then he looked past the two giant women and saw Jonah and Deathstroke battling in the street. Lobo gritted his teeth and remembered everything that happened." Excuse me ladies." He said." But I've got to see about some fragging." Then Lobo jumped out the window and ran down the street.

He went and found the nearest car and ripped the door open. Then he put himself into the driver's seat. And after hot-wiring the vehicle it was his to control.

"Alright." He said as his eyes went to the radio." Let's see what these geeks listen to."

"Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all." Sang the radio.

"Oh." Said Lobo excited clapping his hands together." I love this song."

"It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I Need You Now." Sang the radio.

"And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I Need You Now." Sang Lobo with the radio as he blazed down the street.

Jonah jumped forward and swung his tomahawk at Deathstroke. But the assassin dodged and then swung his sword at the cowboy who blocked with his bowie knife. The two stood there in the middle of the street grinding their weapons together.

But then they heard something, the sound of a revving engine and loud music. They turned to the source and saw a car heading straight for them with Lobo behind the wheel.

"And I don't know how I can do without." Sang Lobo with the radio." I just" The car was getting closer and there was little hope to jump out of the way."Need" Barda and Lashina looked on in concern." You" Deathstroke and Jonah stood there with no chance of jumping our of the way, the car was only a few feet away." Now-"

But then someone jumped down and slammed his fist on Lobo's car saving Deathstroke and Jonah, a familiar figure in red and blue tights.

"What is God's name is going on here?!" yelled Superman at Lobo.

"Superman!" exclaimed Lashina and Barda.

"Superman!" said Deathstroke.

"Space man." Said Jonah.

"Big Blue!" exclaimed Lobo. Then he punched open the windshield and stepped out onto the hood of the car." What a surprise, I was just looking for you."

"Then why would you have been trying to run over-" said Superman as he turned around to see the two innocent bystanders who would have been crushed, only he saw the exact opposite there. Jonah and Deathstroke stood there armed to the teeth.

"Jonah." Said Superman." What are you doing here?"

"In the neighborhood." Replied Jonah." Saw this guy." He pointed to Lobo." Causing a ruckus so me and this fella here jumped in." He pointed to Deathstroke next to him.

"Hey." Said Deathstroke." That's not-" But he was silence as Deathstroke gave him a jab in the ribs.

Superman nodded his head." Very well." He said buying their story. Then he turned back to Lobo." Now there's the question of what to do with you."

Lobo cracked his knuckles." Oh I've got an idea boy scout." He said. Then he swung his fist forward and punched Superman in the chest, but it wasn't strong enough because it hurt Lobo's hand more than Superman.

"Oh Lobo." Sighed Superman. "When will you learn?" Then he punched Lobo in the face, sending him flying into the wall. Lobo just sat there and groaned as he fell into unconsciousness." Well that takes care of that."

"So it would seem." Said Jonah as he put his weapons away. Then he let out a whistle, his horse could be seen coming up the road.

"Thank you for what you did Jonah." Said Superman as he grabbed Lobo's body.

"All in a day's work." Said Jonah as his horse appeared and he climbed onto it.

"Just next time don't hesitate to call for backup."

"I prefer to do my work solo."

"But if you ever change your mind." Said Superman as he began levitating in the air." You know how to reach us." Then he took off into the sky.

"So long space man." Said Jonah. Then he cocked his head over his shoulder and looked at Deathstroke, who found Lobo's motorcycle.

"Well, well." He said as he ran his hand along it." Check you out." Then Deathstroke hoped into the driver's seat. Then he revved up the engines.

Jonah walked his horse over and stood next to Deathstroke.

"That was some good fighting cowboy." Said Deathstroke to him.

"You weren't too bad yerself." Replied Jonah.

"Right." Said Deathstroke." We made a pretty good team. Maybe we should team-up some time, you never know what good might come of it." Then he leaned his hand out to Jonah.

"Like I said." Said Jonah turned his horse the other way." I work alone."

"Ah. So that's the way it is." Said Deathstroke taking his hand back."Probably for the best." Jonah just nodded." See you around cowboy."

"Be seein ya assassin." Replied Jonah with a tip of his hat. Then Deathstroke revved up the engines and then tore down the street. Jonah gave his horse and kicked to the sides and then ran off in the other direction.

Left in the aftermath of all that chaos were Barda and Lashina who watched the whole thing.

"What the hell was that?" said Barda. Then she looked over at Lashina and saw that she was watching Jonah ride down the street." Lashina, Lashina." But she was unresponsive. So then Barda leaned down and slapped her across the face.

"Ow." Lashina groaned turning back to Barda.

"Do you know what that was?"

"No." Lashina responded quickly and then she stuck her head out the window again to try and see Jonah.

"What are you looking at?" asked Barda as she stuck her head out. She did just in time to see Jonah's retreating figure disappear down the road. Then Barda looked back at Lashina to see the dreamy look on her face." Do you know him?" she asked pointing in the direction he went.

"Yes." Lashina replied." That was-that was him."

"That was who?" asked Barda confused.

"Hex." Lashina responded. "Jonah Hex."

The End
