Chapter 2 Royal Flush Set
AN: Before starting the chapter, some good words that a friend send to me that I feel like we are should hear out and how to stop our cyberbully problems:
For any of you, have cyberbullies problem if they have an account on fanfiction ban them, those that post as guests don't take care not let them get under your skin. If you let them, get in your brain they win and you lose but if you only claim what they are saying as plain mockery, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never break me. Another one, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words are brittle chimes in a windstorm.
Maybe what we all need, maybe really need is someone to lend a helping hand, a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, or wrap our arms around someone and give them a big hug. That is what people need in these hard times.
Thanks, Fan1one, and now enjoy the chapter :)
...
We see on a rooftop in Gotham City, the White Knight of Gotham on patrol and looking around for his next case. He wore silver armor around his body, covering his chest which has a black bat symbol with blue outlines on the said chest armor. His shoulders and also arms had armor as well. He also wears white and black baggy pants and silver combat boots that looked to be made for agility and stealth. A pair of twin kanatas being seen attached to his back. Around his neck was tied a large white cloak that covered most of his right side and was also attached to his helmet, which was white and silver, with a pair of deep blue glowing visors. This was Ghostmaker or underneath, Naruto Uzumaki who is also a lawyer that hasn't yet been hired yet.
A good number of people don't like lawyers maybe? The hero thinks but that wasn't the case as he was new and most people won't unsure about hiring a lawyer they don't know. Maybe one day, the right case would come to him.
Then Ghostmarker heard a beeping noise from his gauntlet and showed from his Ghostnet's AI, Icon, had found a robbery of a diamond vault happening. Nothing new but what was odd was complex and strange technology being used that captured Incon's attention.
"Icon, contract the Avengers," Ghostmaker commanded.
"Password required," Icon said as the knight's HUD showed a password was needed to send the call out and the location of the robbery taking place.
"Avengers Assemble," Ghostmaker said which that password has become the heroic team, the Avengers battle cry or something.
Ghostnet and Icon went to work, sending the alarm to members of the Avengers and the location of the crime happening, getting their attention, and deal with the group of villains which are the Royal Flush Gang. The Icon was able to give out data information to the other heroes on who they are up against and has been most helpful on the field.
Time to go to work.
Time Skip
The thing about a hero team is that they are not alone and becomes helpful when going up against a group of villains these days.
Batman, Flash, and Ghostmaker were able to beat the King & his minors with Green Lantern coming to capture the last of them. No surprise for the hotshot to do that in the Ghost's mind.
Wonder Woman was able to beat the Queen by disarming her with her main weapon and knocked her out with a punch to the face.
Superman easily took down the super android called Ace by taking a few hits before breaking him apart.
Cyborg and the new member of the Avengers who joined a few months with the Man of Steel's improved/befriend when he first came to earth, Martian Manhunter. They stopped Jack and Ten from escape and they didn't saw it coming.
Shazam was not free today as he called, going to a birthday party with his family and it's his older sister, foster, birthday. And Billy wasn't going to miss that or cake.
"Not bad tonight. Quick work," Green Lantern which earned a bonk on the head by the Ghost Hero.
"Ow!"
"Not quick work, GL. The gang was equipped with heavy and most creative technology. Does that remind you of anything?" Ghostmaker asked.
"Where an Evil God lives at? Yeah, I was thinking the same thing Ghost. My eye picked up a good number of these weapons were made of the same technology," Cyborg said who was an actual cyborg, created during the events and learn to live with the life as a cyborg hero thanks to Naruto and his new friends.
"Oh, well you didn't have to hit me," Green Lantern said, not catching on.
"I could punch you," Ghostmaker offered.
"No, thanks. I am good. I just thought we were done with that tech crap after Darkseid was kicked off-world," Green Lantern said, not wanting to relive getting a punch in the face that one time.
"Maybe, maybe not," Ghostmaker said.
"We shouldn't let our guard down on that. Many gangs will buy these kinds of technology and we need to be ready to stop them," Batman said, seeing a big problem could reach the streets and cause a good number of wars to happened around.
"Indeed. Hmm, I will keep an eye out around Metropolis. Maybe a certain gang I know could hold the answers," Superman said, knowing the gang he was thinking about were best know for getting their hands on alien tech and could be behind it.
"No luck. I tried to use the lasso of truth on King but he doesn't know anything and J'onn can't find anything in his memories or anyone," A certain warrior beauty said who Naruto knows on a good number of things and most teammates see them as a possible strong couple down the road.
She was a noticeably tall beautiful and fair-skinned woman with straight waist-length black hair tied up in a ponytail, blue eyes, and broad shoulders. She is ageless and attractive in appearance, sporting a voluptuous frame with a sizable bust and well-toned yet muscular build.
She wore a sleeveless top with a red section held up by a silver eagle-shaped breastplate, but with a blue section covering her chest. She wears matching navy blue undersleeves with fingerless gloves with a white star on the back of her hand. She has a silver belt and briefs with two white stars; one on the left side and one on the right side. Her boots are blue as well and extend above her knees, with silver kneepads instead of sandals. She also wears silver bracelets around her wrists and wears a silver diadem with a red star on her forehead. She also has a golden lasso and silver amazon sword, which hangs from her belt when not used.
This was Diana of Themyscira, or otherwise known as Wonder Woman.
"Hmm, what do you think Ghost?" Flash asked.
"Anything at this moment but first, let's take care of these toys. Cyborg?" Ghostmaker guessed.
"Will do," Cyborg said as he opened a boom tube and send the alien technology to the Avengers mansion for safekeeping and later studying.
"Should a team meeting be required to learn more about this?" Martain Manhunter asked.
"Maybe but not tonight. I will get onto that the next morning," Ghostmaker said, seeing that he will have to take a look into that case.
"You don't mind a helping hand?" Cyborg offered.
"Not at all, Vic. Not at all," Ghostmaker said with a shake of his head and decied to head out before clinking a button on his belt, summoning his ride to come to him.
"If that's done. I gotta get back to a date, that I am late too," Green Lantern said, wanting to make it up to a certain boss lady of his who was willing to date coworkers rule a bit and the green hero took flight.
The others hero left in their own way, seeing it was done for the night, and allowed the police officers to take the Royal Flush Gang away. We see Ghostmaker and Wonder Woman walking to the automobile, the Ghost-Racer that seems to match or outpaced the Batmobile.
"You open for another date?" Diana asked.
"Maybe. And I thought we agree to call it, hangouts instead of dates?" Naruto asked, wondering why the chance of words and feeling a bit more.
"We did but do you believe it could be something more?" Diana asked as she held Naruto's hand before they could enter the automobile.
Naruto was quite on that as he too saw something else between the pair as he got to know the Amazon Warrior Princess a bit more as they hang out. He felt familiar feelings he had with three other girls he knows.
"I do. I do believe it can be something more, but I don't want to force you into anything," Naruto replied, honestly, not someone to get another person into something they don't want to do or take part in.
"I know and you are noble about that. And I have talked to Bryce & Candice about it which they agree to give me a try," Diana said.
Naruto's eyes widen in surprise underneath his mask but smiled at how those two care about him a lot and how they want him to have more love in his life after everything he has been through.
"I am willing to give it a try, princess. How about you?" Naruto asked as he brought the black-haired beauty close to him and hands around her waist, surprising her but held the White Knight close to her in return.
"I think I am, my White Knight. I think I am," Diana said, sharing a smile with the knight as the pair enter the Ghost-Racer and headed out.
They and other heroes have no idea that this was the start of something rising. Something terrible and their doom was being set in.
