I Am Ryn Chapter 4
J'onn, Superman, and Batman have found themselves trapped in some very deep, and I mean really deep shit.
You see Ryn wasn't the only one to get that psychic message sent out as a distress signal.
Superman tracked it to where J'onn was being held prisoner by Parasitic Invaders in disguise and Batman followed him there. The two of them freed J'onn, but were unfortunately intercepted him Parasitic Invaders that have taken stolen forms of military personnel. The three of them are now on the run for their lives as the Parasitic Invaders are in hot pursuit in their own ships. Superman is flying on his own while Batman is transporting J'onn inside the Batwing. Even with Superman available to cover their retreat J'onn and Batman won't last long. They are severely outnumbered and outgunned.
Aware they needed help J'onn uses his telepathy to call for reinforcements and lead them here.
All almost seems lost when one of the Parasitic Invaders slices off a wing on the Batwing making them about to crash.
The two of them brace for impact until the aircraft came to a sudden stop.
J'onn and Batman now find themselves encased in a green force field.
"What happened," said Batman.
Craning his neck to see better, J'onn said "Help has arrived."
John Stewart, a Green Lantern, has saved them just in the nick of time.
Two ships spot Green Lantern rapidly closing in until Hawkgirl appears out of nowhere, demolishing them with her mace.
"Hawkgirl," exclaims Batman. "What's she doing here?"
Instead of answering J'onn abruptly phases out of his seat and the aircraft to join Superman, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl in the battle.
Green Lantern then carefully sets Batman and the Batwing down on secure ground where he'll be out of the line of fire.
"Sorry I'm late. There was an uprising near Rigel IX," said Green Lantern, apologizing for his apparent tardiness.
Others would say he was right on time.
The four of them now enter the fray, showing no mercy to the Parasitic Invaders. They each separate taking on their own opponents. Alone none of them would've stood any chance, but together they are a definite force to be reckoned with.
The Parasitic Invaders loose ground exponentially fast, but that doesn't mean the heroes are out of the danger zone.
Hawkgirl inevitably gets hit from a blaster, sending her spiraling down into a mountain. She lands on a small ledge. Hawkgirl groans weakly as she stares at the ship now barreling towards her immobile form.
Hawkgirl would've been killed right then and there if not for an unlikely savior.
Wonder Woman appears standing in defense of Hawkgirl.
"Allow me," said Diana, determinedly.
Diana then deflects the blaster shots aimed at them with her silver bracelets. The deflected shots cause the ship to explode and plummet down to earth. One of the last remaining ships takes over where the other left off, but that one doesn't get too far in.
Time for Venom to make his entrance into the crazy bloodbath.
Releasing a mighty and bone chilling roar Venom launches from the mountaintop onto the ship.
Snarling Venom takes immense pleasure on being able to vent partial revenge onto those who kept him a prisoner for so very long.
"Payback time," sneers Venom.
Venom holds absolutely nothing back as he pummels on the ship, using a shield to block oncoming blaster bolts as he destroys it. Before the ship explodes into a fiery inferno Venom dives off onto the same ledge Diana and Hawkgirl are standing on.
Green Lantern uses his ring to protect them from the fire and debris from the ship.
"Who are the rookies," said Green Lantern.
Throwing the very last remaining ship into the mountainside, Superman said "I'm not sure."
Every single one of the enemy ships pursing them is finally destroyed. For now the chase is off granting them a temporary safe and welcome reprieve.
Batman stands alone next to his damaged Batwing where Green Lantern lowered it.
"Hey, Bats," called Flash, speeding in while lugging the severed wing to the Batwing, zooming to a direct in front of Batman. "I think you dropped this."
At that exact moment the others regroup around the two of them.
Here Flash catches sight of Diana.
"Whoa," said Flash, handing the wing off to Batman, smiling flirtatiously. "Where have you been all my life?"
"Themyscira," answered Diana, not understanding it to actual be a rhetorical question.
"Huh," said Flash, confused, not having heard of it before now.
"The home of the Amazons," elaborates Hawkgirl, wonderstruck. "I always thought it was merely a legend."
Smiling, Diana said "I assure you, it's as real as the ground on which we stand. I am Diana, Princess of the Amazons."
"Pinch me. I must be dreaming," said Flash, dreamily.
Inwardly Ryn rolls her eyes at Flash. She's seen him on the television. He's cute and all, but he's arrogant, obnoxious, and dangerously cocky at times though he does do good work for Central City. She'll give him that.
Flash receives a harsh elbow to the chest rom Superman for that remark.
Genuinely sincere, Diana said "Themyscira is protected by the Gods, but I could not idly stand by while the rest of the world is stuck in mortal danger."
"It was lucky you showed up when you did," said Superman, appreciating the assistance not just from her, but all of them.
Stepping forward, J'onn said "No, not luck. I telepathically summoned them."
"Look, I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake, but would someone please tell me what the heck is going on here," said Flash, wanting an explanation.
All eyes turn to J'onn.
Flash isn't the only one although Ryn and Venom already have a pretty decent head start on the rest.
Authors Note:
September 11th has come and passed once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.
Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
By the way, what did you think? A suitable entrance for the two partners?
I'm glad to have finally gotten back to this after such a long absence compared to some others on my profile. I've been meaning to for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. Still in the beginning stages, but I'm very satisfied and happy about it.
Big time heads up! Article 13 is on the move again. Our freedom of speech is seriously on the line. Find a legitimate petition that is fighting this decision and sign onto it. Every signature counts to keep what we love alive.
I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D
