Glad to see I am getting reviews again.
The Best of the Rest: Again I have to ask you to spell check...but as to Mary Marvel...unless I get to a point where I can bring Billy Batson into the story again I can't really do much with his family
61394: We discussed this and Sinister has a unhealthy obsession with Cyclops.
Dark Dhampir: Mystique is not related to Scarlet at all, and Mystique and Destiny are lovers here, the idea of making Nightcrawler the son of Marvel's satan to me, at least, seems worse than the biological son of two woman (Ah shapeshifters...oh Best is going to ask if Megan can impregnate people now). Nightcrawler and his sister, who your see later, were adopted by them. (Its my personal opinion that gay and lesbian couples are the keys to fixing our Foster care system, but that's just me)Don't worry, I keep a list of my characters being used so I can try to reuse them for various storylines. It also gives me the freedom to create relevant plots as needed: for instance if I am exhausted of Light ideas, I can have Ultron or Doctor Doom fill in.
Speaking of them, a new potential bad guy for a scenario like that will be cameoing today
Recap
"Will this cover it up..." Dick offered up a pair of 100 dollar bills...as a silver haired blur ran though and grabbed the bill, stolen right of his hands as he relaxed to give it to the server.
"What the hell..." Barbara exclaimed...as the server grinned oh so slightly.
There was a reason their new owner, Achmed El-Gibar, had the street urchin on payroll...or feedroll as it were.
"I'm so sorry sir, but I do believe I will need your
"BUT THE MONEY JUST GOT STOLEN BY A THIEF!" Zatanna exclaimed angrily, and why wasn't he raising an alarm about a thief...
"That is not my problem..."
"RIP OFF ARTIST!" Donna yelled, punching him the waiter into the wall as she burst out of the booth running.
"THAT KNAVE IS MINE!"
Zatanna, Barbara and Robin followed the very, very pissed amazon...hoping she didn't kill the little thief.
End Recap
Cairo
"KNAVE!"
Robin, Zatanna and Barbara, who were quite behind the quite fast and angry amazon (How was the little thief able to even avoid her for so long), realized they would have to make a very hasty exit from Cairo...as the Justice League will be here very, very soon, as the Light's hunters.
Hopping along the roof tops, the trio soon found that the thief, a little African america Girl about Dick and Barbara's age with long white hair (how?), cornered by a very angry Donna, cornered in a alley that had been covered by a higher level, freestanding Starbucks that had been built between two office buildings (they are everywhere...)
That was important...as Robin had noticed something...their thief could fly.
"GIVE BACK THE MONEY YOU STOLE KNAVE! OR I WILL PERSONALLY STRIKE YOU DOWN!"
The local thief gave the angry, also flying girl a look, her formal dining dress having torn from the pursuit (The formal wear on Zatanna, Barbara and Dick had been dealt with the same way they had appeared, magic), revealing armor similar to Wonder Woman's. Did she particularly enjoy stealing...no. But if she didn't, Achmed El-Gibar would beat her and starve her...or worse, lock her in the closet.
Closed...Spaces (The claustrophobic girl shivered involuntarily)
And if he ever found out she had powers...she didn't want to think about what he would have her do.
Of course, there was a difference from stealing from a rich playboy's son (which she presumed the boy who had the money was...as he was clearly not Muslim and had three female friends who were most likely more) and stealing from a merchant.
The playboy had hundreds to spare.
"SO BE IT!" let it not be said that the amazons practiced patience...or tolerance for thieves.
However, Donna's flying fist was blocked by a huge burst of wind, emerging from the glowing white eyes of the thief, which sent her flying backwards and onto her bottom, skidding across the ground.
"Ezeerf!" Zatanna cast as ice began to form over the thief as the three landed from the top of the buildings ninja style.
"Donna, are you okay" Dick asked in a concerned tone as he offered his hand, which Donna used to pull herself back up.
"I am well...the little knave just got the drop on me...I thought she could only fly"
"How is she able to control the wind anyway...the Light should have found her if she was indeed a mutated human" Barbara, who was sort of responsible for the whole Light super army mess, guiltily pointed out.
"There are natural meta humans..."
"THERE IS NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT ME!" the thief girl screamed as the ice shattered around her, steaming as if had been heated. Heat was actually indeed radiating off her like the haze one sees in a heat wave.
Her eyes were glowing pure white, as the sky cracked with lightning and was filled with funneling storm clouds. At least one twister landed somewhere in the city, thankfully only destroying a Lex Corp warehouse complex.
"What the hell? The girl's creating a entire storm system...just by being angry" Robin said in a mixture of horror and awe.
"Ecae... " Zatanna was going to cast peace, but a blast of freezing cold air caused her to shiver and cease spell casting, as the enraged, empowered thief began to levitate in a huge bubble of wind...
As a huge burst of knock out gas suddenly filled the alley, rendering all four of them out cold...just as a pair of metal boots entered the alley.
On the road (A/N, Impulse sections aren't concurrent with the events going on with KF and Robin, they are further along in the timestream), somewhere in Europe...say Latvia (No, not Latveria, the country the 616 Doom rules)
The blurring form of Impulse was running down a tree lined road, now currently approaching the area around the countries capital of Riga, a frown on his face.
Superboy had tasked him with hunting down metahumans who were not under the light's control. As the speedster and only team member who was unknown to the Light, he was the best to do it.
In particular, Superboy had suggested that Impulse focus, if possible, on teens about the ages of Beast Boy or Cyclops. His idea was to try and develop 'teams' like the ones they had before, believing that they needed to grow together as a team and as themselves, and that it would be tough trying to do that if you paired a 10 year old like Ben or Gar with someone much older than them, like Caitlin or himself.
So far, they had Nightcrawler with Cyclops, Static and Spiderman, with Beast Boy and Ben 10 on a team. The older ,more experienced members were their own team (With Wolf filling in his spot when he wasn't there...something that bothered Impulse)
They'd try it out first, and if it worked make more teams like that, if not they try a different, more mixed format.
Impulse personally didn't believe in this post, namely because it felt like the Squads that were in his future's past (Alpha, Beta, ect), but seeing as Megan and Raquel seemed to agree with the idea, with Caitlin neutral, and the fact that they had different heroes this time around, it could work.
Or at least, giving Ben some teammates who could help deflate his oversized ego...
His views on Ben 10 faded immediately as he noticed something.
While he was not as familiar with the pre Reach world...the sky being red was not something he was quite sure was not normal.
The sky also did not have six orange eyes, red skin, white hair, horns or appear to be a face...who appeared to be trying to eat a giant black bird (And oddly both seemed to be transparent)
"RAVEN!" the red face roared with the rage of a thousand dying super villains, as it mouth was wide open before the bird, as if to eat it.
'Okay...that thing looks like that really easily offended blue guy...just a lot creepier' Impulse thought, before he tapped into the speed force.
With a burst of speed like 20 jets taking off, he ran up a nearby tree and used it to spring board himself and dash in a diagonal direction across the demon's face, pushing the raven out of the way and cutting the creatures face via the speed force.
The orange lightning exploded over the monster's face, causing it to scream in agony and vanish as Impulse remembered something.
He couldn't fly.
Flailing his arms, he began to drop like a rock, before the raven that he had pushed out of...whatever that thing was's way, turned from a pitch black shadow creature into a little girl about Ben's age, with a long black cloak and glowing eyes underneath it.
She grabbed him under his shoulders by his armpits, and he stopped falling. She was flying...
"You know, that wasn't smart. Trigon will be after your soul now...and will probably invade your world to seek his revenge" the girl commented cynically.
"Your the least thankful person I ever saved" Impulse commented to the little girl in the hood.
"I could drop you, you know"
The western corner of Virginia
The annoyed form of Artemis sat on a nearby rock, quite visibly annoyed at the three, tired out sex loving teenagers.
Honestly, the damn chip was an excuse for Baywach and Hayseed...but Rose was an utterly different story.
Rose said that she hadn't felt like she was not having enough Wally time, before she indulged into an orgy with him and Husk.
Was Rose just a nymphomaniac who was insatiable, or was Artemis just not working well enough to deal with what Rose wanted, needed, or perhaps deserved as someone equally stuck to Wally as she was.
What would Paige need? How were they going to make this work...particularly when none of them could really control the possibilities of more being affected, like future Wally had spoken of, let alone what he said about Superboy...
However, her brooding was interrupted as the local critters were startled out of their hiding spots, as something...unnatural began to approach.
A pale figure began to emerge from the forest, a white cloaked man with top hat and staff, with a monocle. Artemis paled, the figure was a ghost.
"Hello, inbred street rat. Your termination is upon you"
Robin, Batgirl, Wonder Girl and Storm, captives of Doctor Doom! How will they escape? Will Wally, Artemis, Rose and Paige be able to stop the Gentleman Ghost? Who will Impulse end up offending next?
