(Last time on Return of the Cupboard)
(Virus infected DC Universe Metropolis Lex Corp headquarters.)
Luthor looked at Super girl once more has she laid in bed next to him. He had seen her flying toward the building and dropped the shields long enough for her to come through. Once through she had ripped his clothes and her clothes off and proceeded to engage in a rigorous and exhausting bout of carnal pleasures. He wasn't one to complain, but now he felt at a loss. She had always been an outlet for getting back at Superman, and never before had she seemed to need him so badly. He touched her cheek and she smiled at him.
"So what was the wonderful greeting for?" He asked.
"I just wanted to be with you." She said has she yawned.
Lex smiled again and walked toward the window. He looked at the ground below and saw the devastation and destruction. He had always known something would happen, but now he had Super girl and nothing could stop them from saving and then in a way ruling the world.
(On the streets of Metropolis)
Ash and 'Henry' Williams ran from the infected and Deadites while blasting them with their shotguns. They looked to see Morgan floating behind them blasting the infected getting near them with her spells and finally she stopped. She raised a shield against the infected and Deadites and watched them bounce off of it. For several minutes they tried to get through until 'Evil' Ash walked forward holding a copy of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. He opened it and began a chant. Slowly she felt the shield fail and then without warning the infected jumped through. She would have fallen to her fate if not for Ash rushing back and saving her. She looked at the man and decided in that instant she would have him for her own.
(Currently on Return of the Cupboard)
(Alternate DC universe in Metropolis)
Deathstroke walked silently toward the Luthor Corp's headquarters. She looked at the building and found an entrance that would ensure no one other than Alexandra Luthor would see her. Making her way up the service stair case she found the top floor and used her enhanced strength to break the locking part of the handle without making a sound. She walked to Luthor's office and stepped inside. Luthor turned around to see her 'temp' employee.
"I must say that you are impressive. It's hard for Batwoman to get in here without being noticed at some point." Alexandra said.
"She is a little less skilled than I am. Where is the equipment that you have for me to use?" Deathstroke asked.
"It's right here. This is a multi frequency reprogramming device. Originally I designed it for Brainiac, but after the near destruction she caused I decided to hide it away until I needed it later. It is later and this presents itself to be a wonderful opportunity. The Android that has been mentioned and noted on the Wayne tech systems seems to be a sentient being. Apparently it has been locked away because of the danger it posses because of the excising prime directives." She told Deathstroke.
"What use can it be if it has been locked away?" Deathstroke asked.
"The android allowed itself to be locked away. Since it chooses the action it is staying locked away by choice. I believe that if the prime directive was altered it would break out and begin the mission. The amount of energy surrounding the cell it is kept in seems to be on par with the amount I used to trap Superwoman for a short time. If Superwoman could break through that much energy then the android should have no problems." Alexandra stated has she handed the reprogramming device to her.
"Remember my price Luthor. If you don't deliver on your end I will pay you another visit, and I can promise you that it will not be as pleasant has our current little discussion." Deathstroke said.
"I'm sure it won't be for one of us." Luthor said has she looked down at the computer. When she looked up Deathstroke was gone.
(Near the Daily Planet.)
Mrs. White walked over to the desk belonging to Louis Lane. She had allowed Lane to come back to work after healing up partly. Still Louis couldn't walk. In truth the doctors had stated that he may never regain the ability to stand or walk again. She looked behind her to see the reporter coming to the desk in a standard wheelchair.
"You know Lane you could have a mechanical wheelchair. I promise that the paper would pay for it." Mrs. White said.
"If I can't move myself then I don't want it. Besides I have to get some kind of exercise." He said smiling.
Mrs. White nodded and turned around. She had known Louis for quite some time. The man was hard headed, but understanding. That's why it surprised her and everyone else when Kent and Louis broke up. It had been hard on Louis, but he said that it was a joint decision. Mrs. White had wondered some time if Kent had been jealous of Superwoman and finally decided that it may have been some of that jealously and anger at Louis from trying to stop the famed superhero when she was under Luthor's control.
"Alright, but if you need anything just yell." Mrs. White said has she went to her office.
Louis looked at the photograph on his desk. He smiled has he thought of Clara. She had been part of his life since coming to Metropolis. The decision to split off from each other had been his idea at first, but slowly he came to realize that as much has he loved her she was just too different. They had talked about how the differences didn't matter, but after she had fallen victim to Luthor's mind control the differences came out. He wasn't a coward, and he wasn't afraid of dying. He did fear how Clara would react if she did accidently killed him. He knew that no matter how much he loved her Clara would feel responsible and eventually would kill herself. No he had seen that with his father, and he would not see that now.
"Jennifer, hey Olson look over here!" he shouted to the photographer and long time admirer of Superwoman.
"Yes, what do you need Mr. Lane?" she asked.
"Tell Mrs. White that I am heading out. I just got a line on a story and I want to get to it first." He said has he wheeled toward the elevator.
Jennifer nodded and ran toward Mrs. White's office. Louis watched the girl and wondered how she and Marvin from reception were getting along. Shaking his head he got into the elevator and rode down to the bottom floor. He was nearly out of the building when something caught his eyes. He rolled over toward the blur he noticed and felt something pressing against his neck.
"Well I must say that I am impressed Mr. Lane. Almost no one has ever caught a glimpse of me when I didn't want them to see me. I do hope that Superwoman still cares for you since the little accident happened that almost ended your life." Deathstroke said.
"What are you doing here Silvia?" Louis asked.
"And you know the woman behind the mask. You know at one time I would have thought that you where quite attractive. I just don't like getting seconds from an alien. Don't make a sound or it will be your last." She said has she wheeled Louis into the service wall entrance. Louis felt something strike the back of his head and then everything went black.
When he finally awoke he was looking up at an old subway station ceiling. He turned to see Silvia Wilson cleaning her rifle.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"We are right below the Daily Planet. Don't worry I have no intention of keeping you hidden forever. I just needed to make sure that I got Superwoman's attention." Silvia said has she walked out of the shadow showing the mask that reveled her one good eye.
"How are you going to get her attention?" he asked.
"Well Mr. Lane it is funny that you asked. See there is a series of old security cameras that run through here. I took one of those cameras and added a microphone to it. It is right beside you and hooked into the main network for Channel 5 action news. In about 2 minutes I'm going to cut your hand off and broadcast the action on Channel 5. Of course Channel 5 will do what any reasonable station would do and rebroadcast it on all of their other stations. I believe that will get Superwoman's attention." Silvia said has she walked toward Louis and took out her Katana.
"This will only hurt a minute." She said has she brought the sword down on his arm.
(Onboard the Watchtower)
Flash looked at the news playing and watched in horror has Deathstroke cut off Louis' hand. She turned on the communicator.
"Superwoman turn on the news now!" she shouted into the microphone.
Clara turned on the news station and watched has they showed Deathstroke standing over Louis. The female assassin looked smug standing there relaying the information to Clara her-self.
"I repeat Superwoman you have less than fifteen minutes to come and save Mr. Lane's life. Naturally I have a friend that has ensured that your teleportation system will not work. So you will have to do this the old fashion way." Deathstroke has she leaned against the wall.
Raven looked at Superwoman has she stood there visibly shaken at what she had just seen. She reached out and touched Superwoman's arm.
"We need to get there." She said
"I know." Clara said almost has if she was on automatic. The super powered woman lead the former Teen Titian toward the Javelin's. They arrived and got into one. Before anything could be said Wonder Warrior and Flash was in the Javelin with them.
"I won't let you go alone." Flash said.
"If you need me to go I am with you." Wonder Warrior said looking back toward the medical bay. He had almost left once, but when he heard Bella moan in her sleep he ran back into the medical bay and sat down by her.
"Wonder Warrior if you need to stay here you can, but any help would be welcomed." Clara said as she typed in the commands.
The moment they all took their seats the Javelin shot off toward the earth several times faster than what was needed.
(Below the Daily Planet)
Louis began to feel weak. He knew that the blood loss was getting to the point he would need a transfusion. He looked over at Deathstroke who was cleaning the Katana she had used on him and admired the shine.
"Be good to your tools and they will be good to you. My father always told me that. Of course he also tried to be an abusive fuck so his passing was of no great disappointment." She said while she looked at him.
"You know that Superwoman is going to beat the shit out of you." He told her.
"I am planning on her coming, but I will be gone before they are here." She said.
Deathstroke looked up at the ceiling of the old subway station and began to back into the darkness. Louis watched but soon lost track of her. He looked up above them and saw part of the ceiling being lifted away. Within seconds there beside him stood the woman he had wanted to spend the rest of his life with. She ripped the belts Deathstroke had used to restrain Louis. She picked him up and hugged him close.
"I'm sorry." She said while holding him.
"Clara it's not your fault." Louis whispered. "I saw Deathstroke head toward the other side of the tunnel. I don't know where he went after that." Louis said louder. Clara took off with Louis toward Metropolis General. Raven closed her eyes and tried to center in on Slade's energy. After a few moments she felt it but it was moving faster than his counter-part should be able to.
"Someone's stealing the Javelin!" Wonder Warrior shouted. They took off toward where it had been and looked up to see a twinkling of it beyond their line of sight.
"Where could she be going?" Flash asked.
"The Watchtower, she's heading toward the watchtower." Raven said has she watched.
(Aboard the Javelin)
Deathstroke finished in the commands and set the autopilot. Like Luthor had said the control panel was not that different from a Wayne Tech mach 3. She then headed toward the back and began to crawl up onto the ceiling and hold her-self there. She wouldn't be hidden for long, but once they came inside she could get out and stay out of sight.
(Watchtower docking bay three.)
The Javelin moved inside and docked itself. Green Arrow and Hawkman walked into the Javelin. The both of them moved with little sound, but neither of them noticed Silvia Wilson moving on the ceiling toward the front exit. She dropped down and smirked at how easily she avoided the so called heroes. She moved without sound toward the entrance of the main hall. Looking down at the corporate maps she had available thanks to Luthor's connections she began following the halls needed to reach the cell block.
(Cell block holding Jackie.)
Jackie looked at the energy barrier in front of the door. He had been watching outside when his energy scanner picked up a strange signal. He knew that the signal was originally human but they had been modified. Using the information he had acquired from the other Universe's Watchtower he began trying to find the match. After about four seconds it came into place.
"Deathstroke I know that you are out there." He said.
"I take it that my reputation exceeds me." She said has she moved forward.
Jackie took in the view of this Universe's Deathstroke and almost had to take a double take. He had expected to see a female version of Deathstroke, but apparently this Miss Wilson had taken to the advancement as well has her counter-part. She looked like a sports model wearing a ninja outfit.
"Listen my little android friend I am being paid quite a lot of money to ensure that you are reprogrammed. From what I understand you are able to understand the difference between right and wrong. After this what is right will be what Luthor says along with what is wrong." Deathstroke said has she pressed the command into the reprogramming device.
Jackie grabbed his head and screamed has the device begun to hack into his system. He saw the digital clone of Gero flash in and out of sight. Slowly the digital clone changed and before him was a female version of Luthor. She smiled and began to talk sweetly to him. He forced the memory of what had happened up to block her. He could still hear her voice, but it began to dull into a mummer. He looked to his right and saw the 'terminator' has he had come to call his alter ego. The 'terminator' smiled wickedly has it lifted its hand and blasted the energy door.
"Prime directive change acquired. Destroy the Justice League, destroy Bella Wayne, destroy Watchtower, and take Wonder Warrior prisoner." It said has the mechanical monster walked forward.
(Under the Daily Planet.)
"Wonder Warrior come in! We have a situation at the Watchtower. Deathstroke has reprogrammed the android and its tearing through the league members! We've managed to slow it down, but I don't think that we can hold…" The transmission ended there has the monitor room was destroyed.
Damien didn't wait to even ask. He walked over to Raven and looked at her.
"Our Raven can transport several people at once. Can you do the same?" He asked.
"Yes, but I've never tried that far before. Hold on and I'll try." She said has she begun focusing the energy around all three of them. Within seconds they disappeared and arrived on the Watchtower.
Damien looked at Green Arrow who had managed to crawl out of the communication room. She looked hurt and hurt bad, but still alive. He didn't wait for the others to follow him headed straight for the medical ward and saw the android blasting the energy field around it. He rushed toward the Android and struck it in the face. The android side stepped and then slammed a fist deep into his gut. Suddenly the android stopped and it wasn't an emotionless face it was wearing. Damien looked behind him to see Raven. The girl walked toward the android and touched his arm.
"Jackie you're stronger than this. I know you are I've seen it." She said has she walked closer.
"Raven get back. I can't control him. He's listening to Luthor now. It's all I can do to stop him at this moment." Jackie said has he looked at her. He looked up above them and shot through the Watchtower. The satellite sealed itself has he left and Raven looked out to see Jackie's energy surround him. He headed deeper into space toward Mars.
"Jackie…" She said has she stretched out her hand.
"He did what he had to do." Damien said looking at her.
"We can't help him at all now can we?" She asked.
"No we can. First we find Luthor and then we find Deathstroke." Damien said has he entered the medical ward. Bella was finally setting up and looked at Damien. She had witnessed what had happened and inside she cursed Alexandra for being so foolish.
"I heard everything. How long do we have until the teleportation system is up?" She asked Damien.
"It doesn't matter, because you aren't going." Damien said.
"I'm fine and you need me." She said.
"Yes, I always need you, but you are far from fine. Those of us that are able to travel will and we will find Alexandra." Damien said has he walked toward the Teleportation room.
(Washu's lab)
InuYasha looked at Kagome. He had barely left her side except to help with the Doomsday creature and returned when he heard the one called Washu said that Kagome had finally waked up. She smiled at him has she reached for his hand.
"InuYasha what are you going to do now?" She asked.
"What do you mean Kagome?" He asked.
"Since we've finished gathering the jewel shards and since Naraku has been trapped inside of the Jewel what will you do now?" She asked.
"I don't know. I always thought that being a full demon was what I wanted, but things have changed. Kagome seeing you try to sacrifice yourself to save me I don't want to lose you. I'm not strong enough to lose you again." He said has he touched her cheek.
"InuYasha you don't have to be strong enough has long we work together you'll never have to be strong enough. I've been thinking that maybe we should stay in these people's universe." She said looking at him.
"What do you mean Kagome?" He asked.
"Well Miss Washu told me that she could open a portal to our world when we want to visit family." She said.
"What makes you think that I want to visit my family? He's a jerk!" InuYasha said.
"Even so he's your brother, and he has protected you a few times." She said looking at him.
InuYasha stopped arguing knowing that he would lose anyway. His silence was met with a deep kiss and a surprised look on his face.
"That's for being so understanding my husband." She said smiling.
(Virus Infected DC Universe Gotham)
Lobo looked at the dead littering the streets and then heard the moaning coming from the alley ways. He grabbed the girl with him and pulled her back.
"Listen I don't like leaving for no reason, but there is something going on that I don't want to be a part of. We need to find Superman and see what is going on." He said.
(Bat cave)
Terry looked at the computer and then at Alfred in the cryostats tube. He had heard Bruce talk about the old man and wondered what Bruce would do once he found out that Alfred had been infected.
(Outside of Earth's atmosphere)
The infected Lantern held one of Aqua girl's feet. He had been slowly cutting away at her and keeping alive while doing it. If he was still completely able to tell good from evil he would have cursed him-self, but the hunger demanded attention.
