Chapter 118: Motions of Finale
The screen came into view. "Grodd, are you there?" Ivy asked.
"Yes." Came the response, no longer distorted over the waves.
"Good, how are things looking?"
"Good. We've got everything prepared." Grodd said.
"How many?" Ivy asked.
"6,000." Grodd said. "Enough to overwhelm the defences of Central City and draw the attention of the Flash and whoever else might be with him."
"And they're armed with the kryptonite in case Superman arrives?" Ivy asked, that anonymous donation of Kryptonite had been very useful.
"Yes, though only if he comes near the van or the centre. The rear is screwed." Grodd said.
"That's fine, Faust will ensure nothing touches the rear." Ivy said, much as she might not like Faust, he had his uses.
"Good." Grodd said. "And what about on your end?"
"We've got everything prepared." Ivy replied. "Sleeper agents within the plants, the bombs are littered throughout Gotham, and of course we've got riddles set up as well to slow the bat down."
"You are sure?" Grodd asked.
"We are, I pulled up some of the old case files." Ivy said. "There were a few things the bat couldn't solve." Indeed, some of the riddles had confused Ivy as well.
"Very well." Grodd said. "And what about our friend in yellow?"
"He's going to be there waiting for The Flash." Ivy said.
"Excellent." Grodd said.
"Good luck." Ivy said, before switching the monitor off. She turned to the figure who'd been sat beside her and said. "You know what to do."
"I do." Eobard replied, grinning, he leaned forward, kissed her and then sped off.
