Hello everyone, now that I am done with my other story, I can sue WandaVision in Injustice. Our favorite couple going to meet Cyborg.
I saw the first episode of the last season of Supergirl. I loved it so much!
Good reading!
Chapter 6: Cyborg
At the Watchtower, Cyborg made one final adjustment on the Flash's Cosmic Treadmill. Superman had turned to his friend.
"Ready to test it?"
"Ready as we'll ever be," replied Cyborg, busy with his adjustments. "System's online... I'm linked up…"
He walked over to the control screen, ready to throw the device to bring their friends back.
"Flash, you ready?"
The speedster was standing on the treadmill ready to run at super speed.
"I'm on it!"
Flash then began to run on the treadmill, activating the machine.
"Alright... let's crank it up!" declared Cyborg seeing the energy produced by the speed of the super-fast hero.
Flash ran as fast as possible as the Treadmill picked up. Cyborg checked the wiring.
"The platform should lock on to their signatures and pull them back." Flash told at Superman.
While running, Flash added:
"Got it! I'm vibrating at the right frequency!"
As Cyborg checked the control panel, an energy rift eventually appeared in the containment field of the conveyor belt.
"How we doing?"the speedster asked the Man of Steel.
Superman used his super vision on the installation, and turned to Flash.
"Containment field's up, but the levels are spiking!"
The energy rift began to panic like lightning bolts crossing. Cyborg was struggling to control the situation.
Sensing that it was getting worse, Superman ran to his friend who was half machine and human.
"Cyborg, shut it down!"
"It's okay! I've got it!" Cyborg yelled as he tried to get his friends back.
The energy rift grew dangerously, and Cyborg disappeared into the rift…
He appeared in the middle of nowhere in a dark place, which seemed to be underground. Confused, he looked around, aware that he had just entered a new dimension. Should he be happy or disappointed? He'd ended up in the dimension where his friends were, but his plan hadn't worked out the way he wanted it to.
"Wonderful," he muttered. "I don't know if I should give myself a pat on the back or a kick in the…"
Voices interrupted him. He was stunned when he recognized Lex Luthor's voice:
"Lexcorp is supplying equipment, but we're short on personnel."
Then he heard Deathstroke's voice:
"The Joker Clan is reckless. Undisciplined."
"The chaos they create is useful." Luthor said.
Discreetly, Cyborg approached and from his hiding place he watched Luthor chatting with Deathstroke.
"We need more than power if we're going to take down Superman." the one-eyed criminal retorted.
So Luthor and Deathstroke teamed up to kill Superman in this world. Cyborg had to intervene.
"That's all I needed to hear!" he said, showing a cannon on his arm.
And he came out of his hiding place, rushed at the two men, shooting a shot from his arm. Deathstroke managed to push Luthor away, saving him from being pulverized by the attack.
Cyborg fired at the criminal, but the latter dodged his attacks.
"You said this place was secure!"Deathstroke said to Luthor.
Neither of them could figure out how Cyborg had gotten into a secret Insurgency's base.
"Just keep him busy!"Luthor exclaimed before quietly leaving.
"With pleasure," Deathstroke replied, facing the Justice League member.
He raised his weapon and shot the hero half human and machine, but the latter dodged his attacks and fought him with his own weapons. Deathstroke drew one of his sabers and tried to reach Cyborg, but he failed to touch him. Cyborg used ploys to disarm him. Within seconds, Deathstroke was down, helpless.
Cyborg let out a cry of admiration, as if he had just won a soccer match.
"Pleasure's all mine, Slade. Wish the other Titans could see this."
Then Luthor appeared in front of him, clad in massive metal armor. The bald man faced the hero of the Justice League.
"What do you think, Cyborg?" he said with a smirk. "Like yours, only better."
"It's the man, not the machine, Luthor." Cyborg snapped back.
And he faced the Lex Luthor of this new world. What Cyborg didn't realize was that Luthor was using a suit prototype because he wasn't fully prepared for Cyborg's sudden attack. This gives the hero the edge he needed to defeat his enemy, but he was confused that this Lex wasn't using his own armor like the Lex in his world usually did.
"Wardrobe malfunction," Cyborg commented triumphantly.
"At ease, Cyborg," said Batman, who had just appeared at the time.
He knew it couldn't be his Cyborg. He had made sure that his enemy of the Regime was unable to trace the location of the Insurgency's secret base. He understood that this Cyborg had to come from the same dimension of the heroes he had brought in.
Then, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Wanda, and Vision appeared. They walked over to Luthor, making sure he wasn't hurt.
"Batman?"exclaimed Cyborg stunned.
"Welcome to Oz, Tin Man," Green Arrow said to his friend.
Then Wanda and Vision came to meet the new hero who had just joined them.
"By the way, this is new friends of ours, Romeo and Juliet," continued the archer, indicating the couple of the Avengers.
Tired of being called that, Wanda spoke:
"Wanda Maximoff, and he's Vision. We are the Avengers in another Earth than this."
Vision observed Cyborg with wide eyes in amazement.
"Who are you?"he declared.
Even Cyborg stared at the android in amazement.
"And you? Who are you?"
Then the two of them stared at each other. Cyborg used his technology to scan the synthesoid. What he discovered fascinated him.
"Your body's amazing," said Cyborg amazed. "I've never seen anything like it! Your structure is polymorphic. You can change your appearance and you are powered by a source of energy like I have never seen."
"And you, you have a human body but entirely robotic," Vision commented in amazement. "You've impressive physical strength. You should be dead, but your structure keeps you alive. You have a lot of weapons at your disposal and you are able to self-repair. You are a miracle, Cyborg or whatever your real name is."
Then Cyborg returned his attention to Wanda, Batman and Green Arrow.
"All right. What did I miss?"
"It's a long story," Batman replied indifferent to the two robotic beings admiring each other.
"Is he one of you?" Wanda asked the archer.
"Don't worry, Red, he's our Cyborg in our world," Green Arrow replied with a cheerful smile.
Meanwhile, Superman had arrived in the Batcave. His Wonder Woman told him what had happened. Batman and the other doubles had come here to look for something that had escaped the Man of Steel's supervision. She had also specified the presence of the strange couple who accompanied them.
"According to Frost, the red-haired girl's name is Wanda Maximoff. And Hal was right, this girl has remarkable powers. She's a threat to the Regime. As to the thing that's with her, we haven't identified it yet, we don't know what it is. But this entity is very powerful too."
"We need to know who they are, and why they are here," Superman replied emphatically. "I want us to find Batman, these doubles, this Maximoff and this entity (And he eyed the Batcave angrily.) Batman wasn't here without reasons. He came to take something. Something that I didn't see see because of the lead with which he covered this cave!"
"He took a big chance coming back here. Why?" Wonder Woman pointed out.
He then saw the pentagon-shaped control panel. He discovered rock there. He put his hand on what was left of it, when he felt a sharp pain run through his whole body. Weakened, he collapsed, immediately the Amazon came to help him up. Superman used his super vision on his hand and discovered tiny particles of kryptonite there. He now knew what Batman had come for. A kryptonite weapon. And he needed the doppelgangers to get it, which was why he had brought them into this world. What about Wanda Maximoff and her thing? Did he bring them here too?
"I have to flush them out. Now!" he declared threateningly to his partner.
In the Insurgency's meeting room, all of our heroes had gathered around the table. They had told Cyborg the story of this world, as well as the kryptonite gun that had been damaged by their fight against Black Adam. Vision had told him in detail what was broken.
Cyborg examined the weapon in his hands for a moment and spoke:
"Alright. Let's rev up your transporter, fix the laser in our dimension."
"And come back with reinforcements," Green Lantern added.
"How long to rev up it?"Wanda asked puzzled.
"If we go to it with Cyborg and Lex Luthor, it shouldn't take very long," Vision said.
"I like you," Cyborg replied to the Avengers android.
Wonder Woman added:
"I'm sure I can…"
But Batman interrupted him, as he had just joined them in the meeting room.
"There's no time."
He opened the screen on the table as they watched Superman on the news from a podium with a red banner showing the symbol of his One Earth Government behind him. The Man of Steel then delivered his speech in a neutral tone:
"Five years ago a tragic event cost the lives of millions. Overwhelmed by guilt for the part he played in the destruction, he was driven mad. He became an agent of chaos, and enemy of peace and security. But no longer. The leader of the Insurgency will pay for his crimes..."
"Oh I don't like this…" Green Lantern commented in horror.
"What's he doing?" Wanda exclaimed, stunned.
Superman resumed his speech:
"At six P.M. local time, Batman will be executed at Stryker's Island. May Rao have mercy on his soul."
Batman turned off the screen. They all seemed amazed. The other Batman was going to be executed in a very short time. Wanda looked at Vision, who was as worried as she was.
"Getting help will have to wait." declared the Dark Knight. "Rescuing Batman just became our priority."
"It's a trap," Aquaman said.
"Of course it is," agreed Batman.
"Superman knows about the duplicates presence," Vision added, nodding. "And there's a high probability he also knows about Wanda and me. He's looking to flush us out, and the only way to do that is to force our hand by threatening your Batman. He expects us to go to Stryker's Island to rescue him."
"And then, to kill us all one by one, once we get there," Wanda finished grimly.
"So we'll have to be sneaky about it." Cyborg said.
"Sneaky how?" Green Lantern asked skeptically.
"The Watchtower's teleporter." Cyborg explained.
"Stryker's is equipped with teleportation dampeners," Luthor objected.
He turned on the table screen, revealing a digital map of Stryker's Island, where the prison was in red, indicating the presence of teleportation dampeners. Vision examined the plan and remarked:
"They only cover the building, not the exterior. If we get Batman out of the penitentiary, we can escape outside."
"Straight through a brick wall," Green Arrow said in surprise. "I'm in."
"Except Superman won't let us easily get into Stryker," Wanda added. "He, his minions and his soldiers will guard the place if they expect us to come. And they'll be much more numerous than us."
"Red makes a good point." Deathstroke said. "You'll need a diversion. To keep Superman occupied."
"Leave that to me." Aquaman replied determinedly.
"How do you plan to occupied him?"Wanda asked him, in amazement.
"I am the King of the Seas, I have a lot of power over the ocean," Aquaman replied amused.
"I'll take the teleporter." Cyborg replied, standing confidently. "I'm the most qualified to work it... and…"
He took on the appearance of his double from the Superman's Regime. Wanda couldn't help but notice how much more evil he looked. Anyone would be fooled by this imitation of Cyborg.
"I can infiltrate their ranks."
"Quite extraordinary really." Vision said, looking at the Justice League's Cyborg in awe.
"I'm with you." Deathstroke replied, joining him.
Cyborg raised his eyebrows and looked at the criminal with a haughty look.
"You and me? Working together? Not a chance."
"The only way to access the Watchtower from Earth is the Hall of Justice." Luthor clarified.
"And if your cover's blown, you'll need someone shadowing you." Batman added reluctantly to the plan.
"I'm not asking permission," Deathstroke growled.
"Cyborg, we must all work together if we are to succeed in rescuing Batman," Vision said. "Including teaming up with Slade Wilson."
"Fine," Cyborg agreed without the slightest enthusiasm. He glared at Deathstroke. "But you will follow my lead."
Later, Cyborg and Deathstroke had just entered the Hall of Justice. Cyborg had managed to hack the entry code in order to break into the Hall of Justice control center.
They accessed the control panels.
"Communications should be over there," Cyborg said, showing the panels to Slade. "Re-route 'em like we talked about, and I'll get the teleporter access codes. (He began to hack into the control panels.) After you're done, make sure you…"
"This isn't my first drop, kid." Deathstroke retorted, busy with communications. "I know the plan."
"Then stick to it," Cyborg muttered indifferently.
Tired of being scolded by this unknown Cyborg, Slade Wilson turned to him.
"Whatever history we have with our counterparts, you and I have none."
Cyborg was still focused on the control panels, answered him without looking at him:
"I downloaded your history. You've tried to kill this world's Titans."
"Only a couple times," Deathstroke replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Then don't expect any warm fuzzies from me," replied the half-machine, half-human man sternly.
Finally, he finished his work.
"Meet at the teleporter in fifteen."
He left Slade and walked to the center of the Hall, towards the teleporter control panel. But as he hurried to activate it, a halo popped out of nowhere. Someone was coming.
"Not now," he sighed.
The person who appeared in front of him was Selina Kyle aka Catwoman, in a classic outfit.
"Hey Victor," she said, passing by him.
"Hey," Cyborg replied, focused on his work.
Frowning, Selina stopped walking and looked at the machine man with wide eyes. It wasn't like her Cyborg greeting her like that.
"You sick or something?" she asked him curiously.
"Uh… no… fine," replied Victor, wanting to behave more amicably.
Then she approached him, still staring at him with wide eyes and began to seduce him.
"We still on for tonight?"
Embarrassed, Cyborg tried to get rid of her without being rude.
"Sorry. Gotta cancel. New orders."
"Since when has that stopped you?" Catwoman pointed out.
She continued to flirt with him while hugging him at the same time. This caused Cyborg to pull away from the teleporter control panel, decided to face her and play along.
"Yeah! We've had some… wild times…"
But he understood that he had just been unmasked by the woman of Gotham, because she had just activated the switch which returned him to his original form.
"No we haven't! You're one of them!"
She threw Cyborg to the ground, as she got into a fighting stance.
"Let's see if I can find your 'off' button."
Catwoman used her agility to defeat Cyborg but despite her attacks, he didn't seem to flinch at all as her body was way too strong for her to leave a mark. Without mocking, Cyborg managed to shock her when she grabbed him again, knocking her out.
"Well… I'm still turned on…" he declared triumphantly.
As he tried to return to the teleporter control panel, his legs became still, preventing him from moving forward. He checked his screen as he realized that someone had blocked his legs in his neural network system. This could only be done by the one person he knew, as he heard his own voice behind him.
"Cyborg to Wonder Woman… I've found a duplicate of me!"
The Cyborg of Superman's Regime was hacking his double's controls by addressing Wonder Woman.
But what he didn't know was that he wasn't addressing his Wonder Woman.
In the Insurgency's secret base, the heroes had anticipated that Cyborg might be unmasked by his double. With the help of Vision and Luthor, they were able to infiltrate communications, where Diana could pose as her doppelganger.
"Understood. Will send reinforcements. Wonder Woman out."
She smirked at Vision and the bald man.
The Regime's Cyborg came to position himself in front of his double by hacking him with his screen.
"Don't mind me. Just hacking your neural network."
The hero Cyborg then realized that his duplicate was looking for information in his network to be able to discover the plans of the Insurgents. If he found out about their rescue plan for Batman, their entire operation was in jeopardy. He had to neutralize his doppelganger before things got worse.
For his part, the Cyborg of the League was trying to hack his double enemy with his own weapons.
"How 'bout I return the favor?"
The two Cyborg attempted to hack into each other's neural network system, but a minute later the two screens bypassed, freeing them both.
"For real, like men," Cyborg called out to his double enemy.
"Fine by me," Cyborg of the Regime replied, accepting the challenge.
The two Cyborg got to know each other and clashed while destroying parts of the Hall of Justice room. Like the men, they were equal, even if they were wrong so as not to hack each other. However, the Regime's Cyborg decided to cheat as he was eager to wait for reinforcements by hacking his neural network system. But the first Cyborg knew it could happen, which shocked him the moment he tried to hack his system. This stuns him for a moment as Cyborg knocks him out with his energy cannon.
"Pummeled… Definitely not a good look for me." he commented, looking at his unconscious evil twin on the ground.
Deathstroke joined him and saw the inert Regime Cyborg on the ground.
"You beat me to him."
"Another contract lost," said Cyborg.
"This one was personal," Slade said with a grim look.
"I didn't think anything was personal with you." Victor pointed out.
"He made it personal when he tortured me." Deathstroke muttered with a look of fury.
Thank you for reading and reviewing.
I hope I managed to write the meeting between Cyborg and Vision.
