Deimos's shoulder raise and fall sharply. "Haven't the slightest clue. All I know is they share the same magic type yet share no other physical features." Deimos blinks
"Not an angel." Rai interrupts. "A true angel would either attack me on sight or run for it's life. Calypso?" The horseman suddenly calls. But the little fawn was silent. She was paying far too much attention to the television, eyes sparkling with sheer amazement that people had such fun machines. "Well… she's zoned out."
"Can you blame her? She's never seen a T.V before. Let her have her fun." Jason shrugs.
It took Deimos a full three seconds to realize his student was having her brain spoiled by children's television. Wonderful.
The door rang once more bringing in the last team member who seemed rather bland, coffee in hand and the usual judgemental glare over his face as he sits at the table, saying nothing. The three who'd previously been alone just blinked at each other wondering who'd have to be the first to ask.
"Good… morning?" Deimos finally spoke up. Gentle prodding usually got people talking.
"Not a morning person." Will grunts, head falling to smack down onto the table. "What is this book club?" He mumbles without even lifting his head.
"Calypso need to learn magic but can't read. So we're making recordings so she can figure it out. It's going to take us all day. Got any plans?" Rai explains in a dead fashion, hoping Will would lighten up a bit. Or at least show interest in something other than liquor and sleep. However much to their surprize the grouchy blonde did glance up, to Calypso and then to the pile of books the group had.
"Fine. I'll help. Coffee first. I'm an absolute bitch untill I get it down." He groans, sitting back up and taking another sip from the cardboard cup.
"I can tell." Jason deadpans, continuing to read yet as soon as he actually go some decent reading in an alarm jolted the team from their morning.
"Come on. I haven't even had my coffee yet and the assholes had to install a fuckin' fog horn!" Will groans, Yet meanwhile in the living room, poor Calypso had leaped out of her skin. The television screen turned to Superman waiting for the team to assemble yet he did find the fact that Calypso was under the coffee table.
It took Deimos a few seconds to convince her the world wasn't ending.
"Team, we have an emergency. These monsters have been showing up all over Star city." The camera cut to show footage of human-line beast with sickly grey skin and elongated extremities. Their teeth looked like a collection of dog's teeth. Once striking thing about them, they had no eyes. "Find where they come from and eliminate them. The Titans and Young Justice teams are working on the nearby towns and we're working on keeping them from spreading much further. You'll have to eliminate the ones in town. Your main objective is to keep them away from the civilians." Superman cuts out as the group was left puzzled. They were under the impression batman would be the quest giver. Either way they had a job to do.
"What the fuck are those ugly things?" Will asks, never having seen something that gross looking.
"Crowley's rejects…" Calypso whimpers, having backed as far away from the screen as she could.
There was a moment of collective thought before Deimos decided to push a bit further for answers.
"So you know where these came from?" He asks, taking her trembling hands to attempt to calm her.
"Not specifically where, but they came from that lab. When 's experiments fail… they turn into that. We have to go stop them!" Calypso yelps, panic beginning to hit her. She'd seen what those things did and knew what they were capable of. She'd rather not see anyone else have to go through that.
"Well, zeta tubes set to go." Jason announces having checked all the computers and slipped into his suit, quiver resting against his spine.
"I'll meet you." Rai stops short, refusing to get into that zeta tube.
"Rai, it's too far and we need you! These things look like they mean business." Deimos attempts to reason with the horseman as she stalls at the idea of being in that tight of an area. She blinks before stepping into the zeta tube with just a silent groan. She squeezed in, wincing at the whole idea of being in such a closed in space. She swore she could almost smell burnt rubber and oil. It made her skin crawl.
Luckily they were zapped into Star City without a hitch. Other than the fact they were teleported into what looked to be a port-a-potty.
"Mexican space shuttle… Really superman?" Jason groans, counting the arrows in his quiver. "Hey doe-eyes. Any idea how to kill these things?" He turns back to Calypso who was pretty much zoning out. She did snap out of it after hearing Jason's new name for her.
"Oh. Um. Just like a person. They were people once. I feel bad for them. They're just so distorted. And lost." Calypso sniffles, guilt crossing her. She could just as easily wound up this way. Her mind went back into a haze before Deimos suddenly laid hands on her shoulder.
"You guys go on ahead. I need a moment with Calypso." He urged as the other three moved along, Rai removing a small crystal figure from her pocket before smashing it to the ground.
The hellish scream of Grimorah erupted as the monster stallion erupted from the smouldering ground causing the two blonde boys to back away in sheer surprize! So that's where the horse came from. The smoke takes form and eventually smoggy green eyes, horseman quickly finding her way into his saddle and tugging the reins to prevent him from taking a quick bite out of anyone.
"Okay so game pl-" A sickening groan cut Will off as they turned to see a large creature looking up from it's kill. A woman laying on the ground, teeth marks up her arms as it seemed to be gnawing on her.
"Plan? Kill it." Jason growls, knocking an arrow and firing it right into where it's eye socket should be, knocking it down with a horrid screech. A fog grew around the pair as the water vapor in the air quickly condensed to a sword and shield, then hissed as he pushed the air from the ice's lattices. Luckily they were all prepared at a good time. A hoard began sweeping through. A dozen of these monsters, running on all fours, teeth bared at the trio.
"Bring it, bitch."
