"Great, another Supe on the Injustice League. I tried to keep this affiliated with it's own members from the same earth, but apparently the villains aren't playing by my rules. Oh well, makes it much more entertaining to see what happens when they encounter Soldier Boy. In which I selected him not because he's basically a knock off of Commander Steele or Captain Atom, with a dark secret however. Though no one knows it except me, seeing how that I chose him due to how many kills he's gotten without flight or heat vision. Plus, I have a thing for old war heroes. In which is making Homelander a bit on edge since he has a better reputation than himself since he was born in the twenty first century. While Soldier Boy was born in the seventies. Now let's see what are star spangled killer is doing."
Vought Tower-Few hours before
Across the blocks as well inside of the Vought building, Soldier Boy was right now in the room having a private session with several hired fighters. He wasn't using his shield but only his bare hands as well knife, the men had different weaponry such as knives as well some bats. The old Supe kept his eyes on them, as well gestured them to attack him.
"Let's see if you still got it old timer!"
One of the men announced before rushing right towards the Supe, watching how they were about to attack him. Soldier Boy kept his hands up as well avoided the swings as well knife thrusting, the man could tell from how they were using their skills that they were being prideful. Not exactly buying into it, Soldier boy disarms them let alone of takes away several of the men's knives from them and throwing them to the side.
"You should never play knives unless you know how to use them."
Soldier Boy lecturing them about they were using the knives badly, let alone of how they got back up. Going at him with their fists, the soldier merely dodged them left to right as well used different combative moves to disarm them. As well tossing them to the side in a aggressive manner which had each fighter land on the padded floor hard, let alone of punching each one in the chest making them unable to breath.
"Always protect your vital organs. Especially your rib cages."
Explaining to them in a harsh manner as well noticing that of seeing the men on the side coughing hard. However he didn't notice one of them coming from the side hitting him against the head with a bat. Though on impact with his head, it broke into two pieces. The Supe looked behind him turning to the attacker as well looking at the face of fear on the man's face.
"Oh shit!"
The man thinking in his head about what he had just done, let alone thinking about what Soldier Boy was about to do. However, instead of getting possibly injured or hurt. The Supe merely pats the man on the shoulder relieving the rather tense situation the attacker was in.
"Good swing, as well taking the moment for the element of surprise. Though don't think that it doesn't come without sacrifice."
Acknowledging the fact how he attacked him with the baseball bat, it made the man smile feeling like he got out of a possible beatdown. It ended with Soldier Boy pulling out his knife as well spinning it around quick like, to which he cuts the front side of his hand making the man yell in pain.
"It's just a cut. You can get it treated with some medicine and bandages. You'll all get paid."
Telling them all about how their injuries wouldn't be in vain, along of not showing any sign of concern since they knew about the risks of fighting him. They all nodded let alone of heading out, to which they rushed out to get paid as well get their bones checked out. As things were settling, Soldier Boy looked at the blood on his knife. Let alone of how it was bringing back memories of him in the war, as well the screams. Continuing to look at the blade, he soon heard something as he turned seeing that of Homelander leaning by the side as well crossing his arms.
"I was walking by and noticed the man's hand cut, I can assume it was from you?"
The leader of the Seven questioning Soldier Boy's attack which was able to snap the war veteran out of his memories. Not saying anything he soon gets a rag and cleans up the knife as well the stain on it. He remains quiet let alone made sure to ignore the caped Supe.
"Hey, I'm not judging. When I go up against armed men as well some nut job. Blood will be shed, no reason to act like some weirdo."
Joking with the Soldier on how he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty, along of getting cringe about it. Soldier Boy, walked over getting some water in which he looked at Homelander trying to see what was going on.
"Is there a reason why you came in here like a anxious messenger?"
He stated the obvious let alone of seeing how Homelander was trying to play the nice guy, in which the caped Supe merely drops the smile and looks serious. Let alone of what happened with that huge extremist incident.
"Tried to be good, on the account I'm now on the same team as the leader who was paired up with Storm front. And want to know what possible bullshit you might have been in."
Homelander stating the obvious of how he and Stormfront were on the same team, let alone that if Stormfront had a dark past. It be possibly he might have something as just as twisted like Storm. Soldier Boy, looked at Homelander as the two leaders stood in silent of how that topic was hard to talk about. The war veteran merely grabbed his shield as well showed it to Homelander, in which he didn't seem so convince.
"The only thing, that I have that the public. Especially fucking Vought, is that I took the formula when I was in prison."
Explaining to him about how he was given Compound V. Showing underneath the side of the shield, Homelander took a look at the harden shield. Saw that of a prison number for him. To which he looked at Soldier Boy seeing how he wasn't exactly the all American patriot that the people believed.
"What's the crime to get you that? Start a fight? Some dumb shit?"
Homelander suggesting of possible things that landed him in the slammer, Soldier Boy. Merely chuckled at what Homelander was doing, he was trying to see what made him different from him as a leader. Soldier Boy, just stood up as well looked at the blue eyed Supe.
"No. Because there people abusing power that made me more better than everyone. In which when Vought came to me, I took it. So I can take that anger out on others, as well I didn't know about Storm front's past. Payback was made to handle the war, but we didn't exactly work together. Want to know more from her, read about her in the news."
Explaining to Homelander like a child at how he became a Supe, let alone of how he stood up against people with power. Grabbing his stuff, he walked out leaving Homelander a bit speechless. Let alone of how he was just a simple man with no special abilities but enhanced strength and stamina.
"What the hell has happened when I try to get a answer, I get this tough bullshit attitude."
Questioning how things were going on, let alone of that after being in stand still between him and Bizarro along of Black Adam. Who both were able to face him in a equal fight, it appeared he was losing his authority as well of any kind of intimidation. Things had to change, along of how he needed to get things back with him having control. Walking down the hallways was Soldier Boy, who noticed that of Black Noir on the side as well by the elevator.
"Going down?"
He asked the silent man in which Black Noir said nothing, let alone of the doors opening. Both of the men head inside as well see the doors sliding. They feel the elevator coming downwards as well of having a awkward moment, Soldier Boy noticed that of the black suited Supe pulling out a piece of paper in which it was orange. The shield wielding man took a look at the word which was written in black.
"Tracking."
It said on the paper as well how he was doing some kind of hunt, the war Supe still looked a bit confused on what he meant about that. Soon enough, Black Noir flipped the page which showed another word. Only it had a name which got Soldier Boy intrigued.
"The Deep."
A name of a aquatic Supe that was once on the team, it still didn't made any sense. In which Black Noir, pulled out something that took Soldier boy by surprise. The memoir from the Deep, as well several labels that looked like bookmarks. Did Black Noir read this Supe's book? he was soon given the book as Soldier looked at the pages. It listed the trials and errors of what has happened to him. Along something else, certain places he attended. Though no location or anything detailed, it was still classified information that wasn't allowed for the public to read.
"Did it come from Edgar."
Soldier Boy questioning if the executive wanted them to take care of this situation, he only got a look from Noir. As well taking the book from Soldier Boy, to which the elevator doors opened up. The pair walked out together as well Nori throwing out the Deep book, in which meant they had to stop him from talking about the life in the Seven. Making sure no one noticed them, Noir called out his car which came right towards them.
"You driving?"
Asking the silent figure as Noir showed him the keys, to which the Supe's headed right inside of the car to get right onto their job. As well knowing where the Deep might be at, as well make sure the former member of the Seven was 'taken' care of.
Broughton Beach-Present Time
Just as the two villains along the Crimson Countess were in the apartment with the Deep as well interrogating him about the Supe gathering. Both Soldier Boy and Black Noir were on a rooftop as well watching how the three were talking to him. The shield soldier had with him a licensed sniper rifle, in which he was setting up a bullet that would go threw the Deep's skin. Though for Black Noir, was stopping him seeing how he wanted to watch the interrogation what was going on. Inside, Manta was tossing him across the side of the place as well hitting the Deep like a ragdoll.
"Your lucky I'm the one who's beating the fuck out of you. Because from how you could have violated Crimson here if she made it on the team, to Bizarro now in a relationship with Starlight. They would've broken your damn neck."
Manta spoke out as well seeing the looks on both Bizarro and Countess's face, they were ready to tear apart Deep a new one. Shaking his head, the Deep looked at three seeing how they wanted something.
"What do you want? I'm trying to just stay out of the Supe business because your crazy bullshit. As well make a decent living."
Explaining to them on how he learned about the Washington incident as well learning that Storm front was a criminal. The three, didn't buy the nonsense since he was surely making a effort to exploit the life of being in the Seven to the public as well learn from his experience.
"Sure. And I'm a fake stripper, I've read your book. Half of the words you wrote was lies. As well how you didn't stand your ground at Vought Tower. You were fighting Manta as well laid only one punch and didn't break his helmet."
Crimson Countess stating the fact on how she was told from the league the real facts on each Supe on the Seven battle went down. The Deep, looked defeated as well seeing how they wanted to know some things. In which Bizarro settled down a bit seeing how there were much important things to know about.
"What, is Supe Gathering?"
The clone asking him about the event which had the Deep shocked that they or even Crimson knew about it. From how Bizarro brought it up, it made Deep looked petrified. In which he talked about a gathering, though didn't expect these people to want in on what it was about.
"I, don't what you.."
Before he could try and say anything, Crimson slowly flickered her fingers in which her red plasma hands soon made a flower pot explode. It surprised him as well of noticing how Crimson was looking at him, in which she wasn't messing around with him.
"Now I've heard from Starlight, that you can be intimidated by a powerful woman. Let alone of if one happened a lot of power, so. Either tell the nice man what's the event. Or I'm going blow your nuts off and have you actually swim with the fishes."
Threatening him about if she didn't answer Bizarro's question, then she would have fun torturing him. Gulping a bit, the Deep was about to explain to them about the event. In which they were about to talk, Bizarro was hearing something. Let alone of a clicking sound, as well a silent firing sound going off. Hearing that exact same sound, Bizarro's eyes was catching a small like object coming right threw the window. Using his enhanced speed, he rushed right to Deep's face as well caught something. To the three that noticed the face motion, they got scared not knowing what just happened.
"What the hell was that?!"
Black Manta asking to which he used his helmet to see where the sound came from, in which was from the window. It was a bullet shaped item, let alone how he saw threw the hole. Was that of two people, one was Soldier Boy and the other was Black Noir.
"Shit. Soldier Boy and Black Noir are here."
He spoke out as then several more shots came threw the window. Bizarro using his body and arms like a bullet proof shield, he protected both Deep and Crimson from getting shot. Seeing how the Deep was going make a get away, Manta knocked out the writer Supe.
"Take him and the new girl back, I'll handle them."
Informing Bizarro that he was fast enough to get Deep and Crimson out of her, though before they could do that. Crimson looked at how Soldier Boy was there, and shocked he almost shot at her. With her eyes glowing, she let out a powerful blast of red energy which exploded the wall. Outside, everyone thought it was a extremist attack going on. The two men looked shocked at how the red head unleashed her power as well making a scene.
"Bad move! No fighting!"
Bizarro pleading to Crimson on how they weren't here for a fight, however Crimson didn't listen due to how she was almost shot. Glowing with radiant fire, she suddenly flew upwards as well glided from the destroyed apartment over to both Soldier Boy and Black Noir. In which the pair moved back as well preparing for a fight.
"Countess, been a long time. I see you've matured into a woman. A traitorous one at that."
He spoke towards Crimson Countess, along of how she was with two criminals who had committed several acts of terrorizing of city as well attacking Vought. In which Crimson, didn't exactly care since she knew the truth of the team as well of her powers.
"Well at least I know where I stand now, since I've been lied to when I joined the team. As well how all of our powers come from a mad man who experimented on innocent people. You should be angry as well about how people were used as lab rats for us to have these powers."
Expressing back to him on how Compound V were the reason why they were able to help out the allies. As well bust out people from camps, however from the look on his face. It showed that he knew about the drug, this only shocked her at how all this time when she was on the team. Soldier Boy and Storm Front knew about the formula as well behind their abilities.
"In war, even the most trusted allied keep secrets. Not for protection, but to remember mission. Which is protect the innocent. No matter the cost."
Her former leader informing in a cold like manner, to which caught Crimson off guard. As well of having Black Noir throwing a knife in her shoulder which made her fly straight to the ground. The two Supe's looked at the injured woman as well walking over towards her. As well possibly going end her quick before anything happens, pulling out his knife. He pins her on the ground as well was ready to make this a quick kill.
"Thank you for your service on Payback. But there things much bigger than.."
Before Soldier Boy could finish his sentence, there was a beam of red energy hitting both of them. Sending them to the side, it was Black Manta who was hovering over to Crimson's side as well pulling the knife out of her shoulder. The red headed woman groans at the stinging as well gets helped out, he saw both of the men getting up.
"You people and your emotions, seriously. But anyway, see you back home."
Manta telling her which got Crimson confused, in which he tosses her right off the building which made her scream. Though as she fell, Crimson saw coming right towards her side was that of Black Adam. Who came right in the nick of time as well catching her in his arms. Holding on tight, the two made a quick get away as well leaving Manta with the two Seven members.
"So, your the infamous Black Manta. Your helmet is to big for that body."
Soldier Boy stated as both he and Black Noir pulled out their knives as well prepared for a fight. Manta, unsheathed his dagger as well spins it around. Let alone of preparing for a fight.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Let us see, which of us is the better player."
Black Manta bringing up a quote from Shakespeare, as well looking at the two. The three knife wielding men, circled around one another before charging to each other. They were clashing blade to blade as well not stopping, each of them were displaying their own different types of styles of knife fighting. From Manta's and Soldier Boy's military training to that of Black Noir's ninja prows. Each of them were equal, though Soldier Boy quickly placed his knife away and used his shield to bash Black Manta away.
"Time for a helmet breaking."
He spoke as Soldier Boy strikes Manta's helmet, in which Noir threw several knives into his chest. Luckily Manta's armor was able to keep the blades from hitting his chest, as the two were assaulting him. Manta's red eyes quickly lit up as well fired at Soldier Boy. It sent him flying right off as well sending him over to the edge. Grabbing to the side, Manta made his escape with his jet pack leaving Noir to head over to get his teammate up.
"I'm fine. But they have the fish, we need to get to Edgar now."
Informing the silent Supe in which the two walked off of the building as well called for Vought to issue a clean up. Let alone of a story they would need to cover this whole scene up so the people don't make theories about what just happened.
Injustice Lair-Afternoon
Avoiding attention as well arriving back at the docks, the Deep. Found himself in chains as well of being in a room with a blindfold over his face, the others were looking at the sight let alone how it looked rather weird and messed up. Though it wasn't their idea, it was Starlight's.
"What? I still don't forgive him. Also you said it be quick, now people already know your back."
The blonde haired Supe bringing up on how the news already just got the information about Black Manta attacking the apartment. Which meant the Injustice League was back in town, let alone of seeing Crimson Countess. Former member of Payback now turncoat for the villains, right now Crimson was being looked over by Cheetah who was helping out the red head with her stab wound.
"It was my fault, Manta was just covering for what happened. As well how Soldier Boy knew about this, and didn't tell me. Or the others."
Expressing that of a betrayed like feeling, Annie saw the look on Carly's face as well could relate. Bizarro, walked over to both trying to give them some comfort as well a smile seeing how they were at least able to get Deep without him dying.
"We win at least? No dead fish guy. Right?"
He asked Annie seeing that while they did cause a small incident, let alone of blowing up half of an apartment. The Deep was in their hands, while Annie was still hating they would possibly try and be hunted down by Homelander. They did however have a way to learn about the Supe Gathering, nodding to Bizarro. They looked back inside seeing the frighten like Supe trying to figure out what was happening.
"Come on you already have me, I don't even know where the fuck I am!"
Deep shouted like a frighten man not knowing where he was, in which the villains got annoyed by him. Most of them wanted to interrogate him, in which they were curious which one would talk to them since he was the reason why Starlight who was once sweet and friendly. Soon changed to a rather upset girl ready to burn him alive.
"So, who want's to talk with the man who violated Starlight?"
Toy man nervously asking the group since they would love to get their hands on him, the room fell silent. However, as half of the league was thinking. The door leading to the Deep was closed shut, which was none other than Silver Banshee. Everyone was shocked how no one noticed the wailing woman, the Deep. Hearing someone coming in, soon feels the blindfold getting removed from his face as well looking at that of Silver Banshee in her suit as well her white eyes glaring at him.
"Look whatever it is you want, I can give it. But what your grey face leader said, is.."
He tried to speak out, except Banshee placed a finger on his lips making him stop talking like if he was acting innocent. Moving back, she showed that of a a mirror in her hand. Making sure he hair looked great as well normal, in which she does a small whistle. A powerful sonic whistle cracked the mirror as well the fragments landed on the ground.
"It's always interesting. That for us, we hide behind masks so people don't know who we are. However, you all show your faces. And people know you, but in actuality. They don't know the real Deep. Which is a sad Deep, who's craving attention as well using it so he could do whatever the hell he wants. So, it's making me wonder one thing."
Banshee spoke sounding a bit of a dangerous woman, as well grabbing him by the throat. While most Supe's were hard to injure, the insides was vulnerable. In which she was going to shove the glass piece into his throat. The others, saw how she was doing this and thought it was getting to serious. However, they looked at Starlight not caring as well curious to see if the Deep would say anything.
"What does the inside of you look like?"
Speaking to the Deep as well about to shove it into his mouth, The Deep tried to break free from the chains. Though they were wrapped around him to tight, as the tip of the glass was entering his mouth. The gilled man couldn't handle the anxiety as well the moment, to which he had no choice.
"Fuck alright! I'll tell!"
Crying out as well of not wanting to swallow the glass, to which Banshee merely throws the glass to the side. As well doing a thumbs up to the others in which it was a shocking sight to see how Silver was able to make him squeal. In which they now were going get some answers from the fallen hero.
Later on
Dragging the Deep out of the room as well tying him up in a chair, the villains as well the rest of the league looked at the Deep. In which he was right now explaining to them about the Vought Supe Gathering that happened in secrecy. Let alone of how much he was telling the Injustice League.
"It started after Homelander and the Seven were united. With how many Supe's active across the world, Vought International needed to have them all gathered once a year for a meeting. It would discuss the problems of what was happening in each Supe's territory, as well how to handle it."
Explaining to them that this has been going on for a long time, along that Vought would have it happening. Next came the location, in which they would go by two ways. One would be a private jet which would take several Supe's to the location with the executives of Vought. Another, would be some boats that have other Supe's on it as well that of the hired help.
"How long does the meeting go on?"
Grodd asking on if this meeting would last a hour, day or even week. To which Deep merely responded for a week since he himself had spend some time there, along of how that there were other matters happening.
"Tell truth."
Bizarro speaking out in which everyone got confused on what he was meaning, let alone of why he was accusing the Deep on lying. The clone, walked over with his eyes looking over the Deep. Bizarro was listening to that of his heat beat, along how his anxiety was kicking in which the fish man was hiding something. Starlight, saw the look on Bizarro's face as well remembering how it was the same look that Homelander did when he held her by the throat in the elevator.
"He knows this asshole is hiding something. So tell the truth now."
Starlight backing up her boyfriend on this matter, to which the others looked at the Deep. In which he didn't know how to respond to this, since the gathering of Supe's was much more. Feeling the villains eyes on them as well getting the expression of how they were going hurt him, he had no choice.
"Fine. It's just a huge meeting where the strongest and powerful of Supe's meet. It's, also a place."
The Deep stopped seeing how what he might say would possibly take them by surprise. In which the villains were hating the tension, to which they were close to punching the Deep's lights out if he didn't spit it out.
"Where most of us get to relax as well get laid and, have orgies."
Admitting the real reason on why it possibly took a whole week for this to happen, when they heard the end of the sentence. It took them by surprise, as well how it left them all with a look on their faces on what the Supe just said. Though the moment was interrupted by Cheetah, who was just laughing at the moment.
"What, in the name of the gods of Egypt is funny?"
Black Adam asking her in which out of everyone, they'd didn't expect Cheetah. The huntress of the league as well the most preserved one out of the team to laugh at the real truth behind this.
"Because out of all the reasons to despise this place, they have something. That's makes us look like saints."
Cheetah responding as well laughing at the sight of this moment, to which she had to walk a bit to catch her breath. Though for the others, they didn't know how to respond in this matter. Whether they should be disgusted with the Supe's who protect the public and innocent to get possibly drunk and have sex, or figure out how they were going use this moment of relaxation to their advantage.
