Chapter 41: Leaving

A/N To the people who have been affected by the coronavirus and the recent shootings. I know these three chapters aren't much but I hope reading them still bring a bit of delight to your days. Thanks you very much.

Hal:
"You want me to what," I say, bringing up my green ring.

"I want you to try and kill me," the man in sunglasses says, his arms crossed and his foot tapping.

"I'm not going to kill you," I reply, backing up. "As much as I hate you, I'm not going to kill you. I'm trying to be a hero!"

"Okay first," the man says, putting up a finger. "Currently, we are not heroes, we are villains. Second, trust me when I say this. No matter how hard you try, you cannot kill me. You cannot even make me say "ouch"."

"You sure about that," Barry yells from the sideline of the "battleground", Oliver and rest standing beside him. In a large, rectangle-shaped room with shiny, black walls, the man and I stood face-to-face in a large, painted box.

"Very sure," the man answer. "Maybe once, you could have beaten me. Now however, not so much. So, in the most literal manner, do your worst."

"Fine," Barry screams, "You ask for it. Hal, don't hold back!"

Hesitate, I activate my ring's power and jump into the air. Flying back, I aim at the man and fire a green beam. To my surprise, he didn't even bother to try and move. Taking on the full blast, he stay completely still, his foot still tapping.

"Wow," the man joke, scratching his cheek. "That was so powerful. My cheek is so itchy. Wait, was that what you were aiming for? An "itching" blast?"

"No way," I say, staring at the man and my ring. "How did he survive that? That was my most powerful attack."

Thinking it over, to now and before when he grabbed my hand, I focus my will and summon two buzz saws.

"You wanted me to try and kill you," I say, pulling back my arm. "Fine. Let's see what you got."

Launching my arm forward, the saws shot forward, spinning with the teeth turning into fast-moving blurs. Actually moving this time, the man back flip out of the way, the saws hitting the ground. Despite spinning, I couldn't pull them out.

Supergirl:
Too focus on trying to get the buzz saws out, Green Lantern didn't see the man pull something from his pocket.

"Watch out," Barry yells, getting Hal's attention. Pointing at the man, he turn his head just in time to get hit in the face by whatever it is the man threw. Exploding in his face, he drop a little before recovering. Holding his face, he then reveal to all of us some sort of black-blue goo blinding him.

Screaming as he try to rub it off, Hal summon some green water and wash the goo right off.

"What is this," he yells, the water vanishing and the goo falling down. "Nevermind! Where is he? Where is he!"

Looking all around, we find the man running away from Hal.

"There," Barry yells, pointing at him. Seeing and firing another blast, the man outrun the beam. About to run into a wall, he instead jump and leap off of it, the beam hitting the wall.

Jumping so high he grab Hal by the foot, he then swing up and flip Hal onto his back. The man's feet on the ceiling now, he push off and ram his shoulder into Hal's chest.

"Oh," Leonard says, chuckling. "That gonna hurt. And in more way than one."

Rolling a few feet away from Hal as he was getting up, he turn away and look back at him. Moaning and holding his chest, Hal look at the man. Despite his "chest pain", he still try to fight.

Pushing himself up, he jump into the air and launch toward the man. Summoning a train, he charge ring-first toward the man.

Stepping to his right, the man dodge the train, Hal flying right pass him. The train disappearing, Hal leap into the air and then spread out his arms and legs. The ring glowing brighter than before, a giant, robot begin to appear. Slowly, its head, body, and legs form, eventually almost reaching the top of the room.

"Lets see how you handle this," he yells, shooting out the robot's arms, now armed with what look like missile launchers.

"Yeah," Barry screams, shooting his hand into the air. "Take that bastard down!"

Firing the launchers, the man disappear into a burst of green smokes. However, not stopping, Hal switch from missile launchers and fire all over into the smokes.

"Hey Supergirl," Snart says, tapping me in the arm. "Can you see anything? I mean, is the guy dead?"

"No," I reply, examining the smokes with my X-ray visions. "No. I don't see him anywhere. He's not there anymore."

"What," Hal says, the chain guns stopping and the smokes vanishing. All of us watching, we were surprise to see the man gone along with the smokes, the only thing leftover a bunch of holes in the ground.

"Where did he go," Hal asks, looking all over. "Where is he? Do you see him Barry?"

"No! He's gone! I don't see him anywhere!"

All of us looking all over for the man, Harleen screams and points to the ceiling. Looking up, we saw the man drop on Hal's robot, right on the head. Before Hal could react, he slam his hand into the head and shatter the whole robot, cracks appearing all over it.

The pieces to the robot falling and disappearing, Hal drop to the ground. Hitting the ground, the man land gracefully beside him.

The Man:
"Here," I say, offering Lightbulb a hand. "Come on Flashlight. Pick yourself up."

"Screw you," Nightlight yells, slapping my hand away. Getting up, he brought up the ring in between us. "You know, this prove nothing."

"Really," I ask, crossing my arms. "Cause I like to think it does. Your beam is more itching than painful, your buzz saws are dull, your train is slow, and that giant robot from before. I seen stronger will in a mouse buddy. Literally, I once saw a mouse crawl out of a snake's mouth. It's was both weird and awesome."

"I don't care," Green screams, "I don't care. Oa is in trouble and I'm going! I'll just get stronger along the way!"

"Yeah, I don't see that happening."

"Again. I. Don't. Care! I do not care! Now, unless you give me an exit, I'll blast my way out of here!"

"I don't think so," I say, nudging my head toward the bullet holes. "Your will isn't strong enough to break through the walls. Or the door."

Proving me right, Hal turn around and shot at a wall, the wall still standing afterward.

"The door over there," I say, pointing at the exit. "Go ahead. Waste a bit of power trying to break it down."

"We don't need to break it down," Barry yells from the sidelines, walking right up to me. "You know, I think we just had about enough of you. All of us! Yeah, you may have help us but we don't need you anymore! Me! Oliver! Hal! Even Supergirl! We don't need you or any of your "helps"!"

"Really? So you knew about the Watchtower and the giant laser? You had a plan to take it down?"

Opening his mouth like he was about to say something, he instead try another sucker punch. Lending back, I grab his passing arm and twist it behind his back.

"Yeah," I yell, kicking Flash to his knee. "You only get one of these!"

"Hey," Oliver screams, preparing his arrow. Aiming it at me, he look me right in the sunglasses. "Oh come on, this again."

Rolling my head, I push Barry away.

"That's it," he yells, turning around to face me. "That is it! We're done! We are done! Thanks you for everything! No! No! Really! Thanks you for everything you did! It was awesome and unbelievable but you know what, I think we're done. We don't need your help anymore! In fact, you can have this back!"

Tapping the symbol on his chest, the excellneno-fibers suit suit I gave him pull back into the disco. Grabbing it, Barry then toss it on the ground.

"Hey," Dr. Crane screams, walking up to him. However, before he could say what he wanted to say, I rush ahead and stop him. Shaking my head, I look back at Barry, his face still red and steams coming out of his ear.

"Hal," he start, looking at everyone. "Oliver. Dinah. Selina. Harleen. Jason. Martin. Kara. Come on, let's go. You can keep everyone else."

Stomping away, everyone else look at each other for a bit, all of them wondering what to do next. Hal begin the first to move, follow after Barry. The two of them now gone, the rest of the "old" Insurgents eventually decide to follow after them. Everyone including Kara.
