Chapter 3: Unsolved Situations
(Washington D.C., a few days later)
The group of masked men fired their guns. Their mission had taken a dreadful turn.
"We'll hold them off! We'll meet you as soon as we can!" One of the men grunted, rushing forward and firing his gun.
Suddenly his gun was slashed into several pieces then his throat was held in a vice-like grip.
"Valiant effort, but for the wrong cause." His attacker grunted.
The man gasped as both of his hands grabbed his attacker's arm. He coughed as his eyes recognized him: a figure in total black garb and a pair of green eyes locked on him, his left black armored hand is holding him off the ground, and his right gauntlet retracted the claws.
"She's…a fucking…criminal." The man hacked, desperately trying to breathe.
Chaos Chimera lowered him so they could see eye to eye. He growled under his breath, his eyes narrowing in anger at the man. Despite not being able to see it, the vigilante could smell him sweating in fear.
"So am I." Chaos Chimera snarled, his grip tightening in rage.
"Chimera! Hurry! They're-" A voice started to say.
Chaos Chimera threw a few shurikens and a few moments later latched onto the clothes of the men trying to escape, pinning them in place.
"-escaping…" The same voice finished.
Chaos Chimera then punched the man with his free hand, knocking him out instantly then released him. The masked man fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes with a thud.
"Next, ma'am?" Chaos Chimera asked his leader as he turned to her.
He stood before Wonder Woman, the group leader, Vixen, Robin, Guardian, and Kid Flash. The shapeshifting ninja awaited Wonder Woman's commander.
"Well done." Wonder Woman said, nodding and smiling.
Chaos Chimera nodded in thanks and respect then stood up. The group looked around at the terrified part of people whose night was rudely interrupted by a large group of masked gunmen.
"So…we good here?" Kid Flash asked.
The dozens of armed, beaten men laid around the huge men in broken heaps groaning in pain.
"Yeah…I think we're good." Guardian answered.
"Crash! I gotta a video game tournament and bet to win against Blue! Later!" Kid Flash chuckled before rushing off.
"Great…" Guardian grumbled under his breath.
He and Robin both got calls then answered them.
"Bee needs me." Guardian said.
"Patrol in Gotham is soon. I gotta go." Robin said.
The two ran off to their destinations. The shapeshifting ninja turned to the two superpowered women, who turned to him smiling and chuckling. Chimera gulped nervously.
"Don't tell me you're not gonna stand there and not give me a proper greeting." A familiar, sultry voice chuckled.
Chaos Chimera turned to see Queen Bee approaching them. The ninja blushed even more under his masks.
"I do have to say, I like the new outfit. I've heard you've become a great martial artist; I must say I wished it wasn't at one of my meetings." The former dictator chuckled.
Queen Bee had been regularly fixing up meetings to help the world heal from the Light's thrall, even months after their defeat in Washington D.C. after the former president had been caught alongside them.
"With former President Jacks in prison, the U.S. government has been having a difficult time reforming." Queen Bee said.
"You've been doing well from what I hear." Chaos Chimera replied.
"Turning traitor to the Light had some advantages." The woman chuckled.
"Glad you are aiding in the healing process. We just hoped you knew more about what secret the Light had been keeping even from you." Chimera said.
"The feeling is mutual. With my ability to control men, heh heh, the others feared I could…no longer find need in being in an alliance with them if I had full knowledge of the Light's control. Sadly, they weren't as foolish as I know wish they had been." Queen Bee sighed and chuckled.
Chaos Chimera nodded in agreement. He looked around, his eyes wandering to the men who had attacked her. They appeared to be mercenaries hired to capture or likely kill her for her role in the former Light's plans.
"I'm not sure our presence here helped." Chaos Chimera said.
"Perhaps, but men tend to not to sense every detail." Wonder Woman said, placing her hands on her hips.
"Haha! That's for sure." Vixen chuckled, crossing her arms.
The shapeshifting ninja chuckled, shaking his head.
"Feminazi…bitch." One of the men grunted, his bloody teeth gritted in pain and anger.
Wonder Woman and Vixen turned to the owner of the voice, intending on forcing him to apologize for their obscenity. But they found the young ninja lifting him in the air with one hand.
"Never…say that…again." The shapeshifter growled, eyes burning in anger.
"Pathetic…bitch boy…" The man growled, bloody broken hands barely gripping the ninja's arm.
"These women have more honor than you could ever hope to have. So…you spineless dick, I suggest you shut up for your own worthless hide." The ninja growled, enraged by the man's disrespect.
He dropped the man who fell into a broken heap. The ninja turned back to the women, their faces masked with surprises.
"I-I couldn't just let him insult you like that." The shapeshifter stammered.
"Thank you for disciplining him. I would've done it myself…but I think it would've resulted in some more broken bones." Wonder Woman chuckled.
The ninja nodded in understanding.
"Well you sure can handle yourself well in a firefight. Although you tore through them pretty well, we thought you were going to kill them." Vixen said.
"Well they didn't shoot her or anyone else…so they got quite lucky." The shapeshifter replied.
"You can't just be willing to kill at every turn. It could've ended a lot uglier than it did." The exotic heroine said.
"I didn't say I intended to kill them as soon as we arrived. If hey hurt her…it would've been quite a different story." The shapeshifter said.
"Well, let's be glad that you all appeared when you did. I hate to think what would have happened if you didn't." Queen Bee said.
Chaos Chimera nodded, relieved by their arrival before anything dire occurred. Even though she had been a notorious enemy of the team and the League when she was on the opposite side of the conflict months earlier…and causing great emotional pain, Queen Bee worked hard to redeem herself and help however she could. Of course, the greatest concern laid with the young shapeshifter himself. Even though he tried to do what he could to help the people…he was feared and hated by many…believing him to be evil through and through.
"I'm still glad you came by…it's too bad it all ended so…abruptly…well, I don't have anything planned for a few days…so…what do you say?" Queen Bee chuckled, approaching the ninja.
Chaos Chimera gulped nervously. Wonder Woman and Vixen chuckled, the situation drawing some curious thoughts. They too were suddenly contacted by a familiar face.
"Guardian, Kid Flash, and Robin reported that your mission was a success. No casualties?" Superman asked.
"Yes, everything went fine." Wonder Woman answered.
"…And…he didn't…" Superman started to say.
"He held back, but if imagine if any of us had been harmed it would've ended quite differently." Wonder Woman grunted scoffingly.
"…Let's just be glad it didn't. We need you back at the Watchtower for the team leader's report on the mission along with the second-in-command." Superman said.
"Very well." Wonder Woman said.
"I hate paperwork." Vixen grunted in annoyance.
The two women turned to see the woman and young man talking.
"A pity…this night could've turned out a lot more interesting." Vixen chuckled in Wonder Woman's ear.
'…Perhaps…' Wonder Woman mused in her mind, unsure of the situation still nonetheless.
The two women then walked off, leaving everyone to go about their business.
