So this will be a dark Anti-Hero story. The previous Anti-Hero stories I have done over the past couple of years felt too...light for lack of a better word, like that 2017 Justice League movie. But not this story...I plan on making this as dark as Zack Snyder's Justice League, and who better to do so than Spawn?

This takes place in a mix of continuities, not just the 2001 cartoon like I see most stories. The pairing is simply Spawn x Wonder Woman, not a harem or anything like that. At this point, Nathan/Spawn has killed Malebolgia and Violator, don't know about other Spawn villains as this story is mostly just Spawn in DC stuff with DC comic elements.

As for Wonder Woman...well, I'm leaving her origins a secret just now. As for her appearance in this, I'm going with the design that makes her loom like a warrior instead of some patriotic stripper. Her costume design and appearance will be based off her DC Rebirth, the one with the cape, and looks like her 2017 cinematic costume with the battle skirt and everything that makes her look like an ancient Greek warrior.

Now, let's get this story underway.

Gotham City

It was dark in Gotham, and that was a bad thing for the weak and helpless as those who would prey on them come out to get their fresh pickings, and nobody survives the night of Gotham without survivor skills. The rules of the homeless of Gotham was killed or be killed, don't trust anybody, survive. Not many survive the nights of Gotham. For all the good its protector, the Batman does, the evils of Gotham would always find a way to try again thanks to his increasingly soft ways of dealing with crime.

Right now, two men were trying to rape a woman. "Get off me!" The woman sobbed as one of the men held her arms while the second was between her legs, having pulled her trousers down to expose black panties, and was now pulling his trousers down.

"Hold still, love...this'll be more fun for us." The man laughed

Suddenly a chain shot out of the darkness, wrapped around the man's neck and pulled him into the darkness where he screamed until they were cut off with the sound of a sickening crunch like bones breaking, followed by flesh ripping and blood dripping. The second rapists threw the woman aside and she scrambled to pull her trousers up as the man pulled a gun out.

"Who's there?" The man said with fear before something was thrown out the darkness, revealing to be the other guy's head with a horrified, lifeless expression, one of his eyes ripped out and his jaw snapped off and hanging. The second man nearly vomited at the sight before he fired into the darkness. "What are you?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

A voice replied in a dark tone with an equally deep dark growl. "You're worst fucking nightmare..."

Dropping the gun and screaming, the man tried running when a chain shot out from the darkness, wrapped around the man's right ankle tight enough to break it, causing the man to scream as he fell down and was dragged to the edge of the darkness when two green eyes appeared in the darkness, staring down at him with a look that could kill.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" The person growled sarcastically before the chain released the man, dropping him on his head but he recovered and got onto his backside, scrambling back in fear as the figure revealed himself.

He was a tall, dark figure wearing a full body form-fitting black suit with white highlights, most notably two large marks over his green glowing eyes, a stylized flowing red high-collar cape that seems to either flow in the wind or writhe as if it were a living creature and chains around his waist.

The man shook with fear, like he was staring at the Devil himself. "Oh God...Oh God help me..."

"God isn't here..." The dark figure said with a dark tone as he walked forward, his green eyes glowing with more intensity. "I am."

"P-Please! i-I was fo-forced to do it!" The man started begging for his life, saying anything that could potentially save him from joining his friend in Hell. "Please! i don't wanna die!"

"Why do they always say that before they get what they deserve?" The figure muttered to himself with an annoyed tut and disappointed shake of his head. "You don't wanna die, huh? I'm sure that the lady over there didn't want to be raped either, but that didn't seem important to you, did it? All you cared about was the thrill of fucking a woman's pussy, leaving her broken and worthless to anyone else as you get your fix from it. Who made you God, asshole? You think you can go around raping women whenever you want? No...it doesn't work like that anymore, not while I'm around."

"You-you don't get me! I've got a problem! I-"

"Excuses!" The figure barked, cutting him off. "It makes me sick, seeing scum like you hide behind words of lies, money, lawyers, corruption to get away with your sins and continue to do me the excuses, I've heard similar from scum like you, that they were raped as children, born with uncontrollable urges...must've raped your own mother when she was in the bathroom if that was true."

The man saw his pistol nearby and quickly grabbed it, turning to aim at the figure who gripped his wrist and pushed back hard enough for the bone to break and snapat the wrist, causing the man to scream as the gun was forcefully pointed at his head.

The man looked into the eyes of his killer and asked with fear. "W-What the hell are y-you?"

The eyes narrowed. "...Spawn."

BANG!

The man's body fell to the floor with a thud, blood splattered all over the floor. The woman that had been nearly raped stared with wide eyes as the tall dark figure stared down at the corpse with an unreadable expression due to his glowing green eyes before he turned and began walking towards her. She closed her eyes, expecting to be killed any second, but to her surprise the now named Spawn just stood in front of her. Slowly opening her eyes, she looked up at the dark figure's face staring down at her with a slightly softened expression in his eyes, despite their menacing shape, while holding a jacket that he had ripped from the other would-be rapist.

"Stay away from alleys at this time of night." He warned her as he tossed her the jacket and turned to leave, but the woman suddenly reached out and grabbed his leg.

"Wait…"

The figure turned back around, looking at her.

"…thank you…" she told him tearfully as she quickly placed the jacket on.

Spawn nodded before he walked into the darkness from whence he came as police sirens were heard faintly, leaving the woman in awe at her savior until the police would eventually come and escort her home… and to collect the bodies of her would-be rapists.

The Hellspawn sat perched on the ledge of a rooftop that overlooked much of Gotham City, his cape flowing harshly in the wind as he was lost in his thoughts. He reached up and ripped the mask off his head, revealing short black hair, pale yet fair skin, and dark blue eyes.

His name was Nathan Nolan, a man in his mid twenties who had been through a lot after selling his soul.

Nathan had been a former Black Ops soldier, killing anyone his missions required him to kill without remorse. Before he became a Hellspawn, he was a very bad person, killing anyone except the innocent. During a job from a man named Jason Wynn, when his morality got in the way, Wynn had Nathan shot to death.

Nathan then found himself waking up in Hell, where he made a deal with the demon known as Malebolgia. He'd become a Hellspawn and lead Hell's armies in return for seeing his girlfriend and daughter again.

But he was tricked, woke up five years after his death. His girlfriend had moved on, marrying another man, had another child and moved away from where she stayed. Nathan didn't want to interrupt her life as he saw how happy she was, and reluctantly he stayed away.

But his new goal was to get his hands on the man who killed him...Jason Wynn.

He accomplished his goal, he killed Wynn, then went to Hell with the aid of an woman named Angela, a former enemy of his turned friend...turned lover. She was meant to kill him, being from Heaven and a Hellspawn Hunter, but he defeated her in their fight, then a year later he had to help her with her trial and hide with her in a cave, where they're adrenaline and emotions took over and they had sex.

They never spoke of it again until their third meeting when Nathan came across Angela in his alleys beating up some punks. The two had a spat before it somehow led to them having sex at Nathan's rundown loft and the two agreed to try and make it work.

Then came the battle with Malebolgia where Angela was killed by the demon, which enraged Nathan and he brutally killed the monster who took his soul away and the love of his life...twice. It was when he held Angela in his arms that she revealed she had been pregnant with his child...his unborn dead child. His rage at demons grew and he slaughtered every demon in his path that day until all the rage had spilled out.

Now, with his enemies from Hell dead, Nathan now took on the role as defender of Earth. He may not battle big alien threats like the Justice League do, but he does battle supernatural threats that seek to take over the Earth, be it demon, Angel, vampire, werewolf, zombies, any supernatural creature...they were stopped by him.

But aside from supernatural creatures, Nathan also killed criminals, only those who have killed and hurt innocent people for fun and amusement but Nathan made sure to distinguish the criminals he kills. Purse snatchers or other thieves can only be considered mere annoyances that deserve a good scare and ass kicking but they'd live, but murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and terrorists? They have committed things that cost them the right to be human, so it only made sense the Reaper wanted their souls...and so he did exactly that.

But now, Nathan had decided to take a vacation from New York City, his home for many years, and had come to Gotham City, home of the Batman.

He didn't care if the Justice League sees him as a threat because of he has the balls to do what the JL won't. He had only one rule for this life: Protect the innocent… kill the guilty.

For he was Spawn the Grim Reaper...

And that;s it for this chapter. I hope I made the tone dark along with the atmosphere of the chapter. Maybe I should have made the deaths more...gory and brutal?

Let me know what you think in the reviews.
