Chapter 3 Heroes

A few days later, we see Markus and Todd's Family enjoying some dinner while watching the news, showing the newest hero group that was arising. The Terrific Trio was created when three people were exposed to high levels of radiation during a fusion experiment. Their DNA was altered very much and give them powers, which they decied to use their abilities for good. They vowed to fight crime in Gotham City and clean the city up.

Hell, the government financed and established a base for operation for the heroes. Not everyone can agree or trust these new heroes, rather kill than support them. Some are suspicious of the team.

"Can we please shut that crap up?" Pyrrha asked, showing her anti to that small group.

"Lucky there's some nature shows up," Markus said, changing the channel and watching something a bit better than the news that keeps showing those three heroes.

"Maybe...but you two should keep an eye on them," Jason informed, being suspect of this new group and seeing a problem that could come down.

"How so?" Artemis asked, wondering what was on her husband's mind.

"Red, this is Gotham. No matter if you come out from the rich or poor, soldier or doctor, there's always going to be a black-and-white clash. Those 'clean' heroes as the public love to call them, would all be godown and rude awakening as well. Gotham is no place for heroes like them and many would view them as freaks. Words can damage someone much more than just a punch or weapon," Jason explained, getting his wife, daughter, and student's attention highly now.

"I see...that does make sense," Markus admitted, seeing that his mentor, something of a father figure was saying and was true.

Gotham was no place for 'clean' heroes and many would view them as freaks when they slip off big time. A rude awaking would come for them, sooner or later.

"Yes...however, this could work for you two. I want you both to patrol and follow the three, knowing the old man, he would send the kid on patrolling as well. I willing to bet that something big is coming tonight...," Jason said as he reached for his phone and checked for something, on the police radio as it would be the first thing before the media hits.

"Hmm true and could give two some more intel on what that kid does," Artemis agreed.

"I know what he does, very street punk fighting and crocky son of a bitch," Markus said with a frown.

"Don't underestimate him, Markus. Your brother is arrogant but he's getting knowledge and training from Bruce. Granted, it would take him years to mature and become a true Batman but is growing into that and would be learning to be the Dark Knight that Gotham needs," Jason explained.

Markus nodded his head and understand what he meet, remembering his training and that his anger can be a double edge sword. Something that Jason learn from a certain bird and pass that knowledge down to his student to not fall victim to that anger.

"Understood...you want us to fully suit up or stay in the shadows?" Markus asked, knowing that it was Jason's call to say when he was ready to don the red and hood as his own.

"Shadows, you two are still not ready but that doesn't mean doing some digging and knowing the enemy within Gotham," Jason replied.

Markus and Pyrrha nodded their heads in agreement, having a feeling that tonight they are going hunting and recruiting if they can. Two of them alone, can't do much in the future plans to come. The plans for the black-haired teen to have revenge on the power & corrupted, clean up Gotham, and so on needs more than just two. It needs a group of people, fellow outlaws that understand the hardships and corruption better than anyone. That's the plan and from the stories they were told, Batman often creates those that suffered greatly.

A perfect way to gain recruits and we shall see how this goes down.

Time Skip

We see the pair, now wearing pure black ninja gear and using different equipment to keep up with the chaos. First, Magma broke into Hodges' laboratory and stole the DNA scan that was done on him & other two, which was very sicking. It seems their condition was getting worse which got worse when the military attacked them.

Second, the trio fought their way out of the tower and evaded death, unknowingly that Batman was following them. The night wasn't over and revenge was in their minds, going after their friend, Dr. Hodges. The doctor know about the dangers and the genetic condition was unstable to them.

Third, a fight broke out and Batman had to stop the trio, which resulted in their deaths, and Hodges is exposed for his crimes. However, this night wasn't over, and see the pair doing something at the emergency ventilation system.

"Hmm, it seems the 2D-Man is dead, his condition got very worst, he's nothing but dust now," Pyrrha informed, holding a scanner device.

"It seems so...wait, someone is in the vent as well," Markus said, his scanner device was getting a reading and someone was alive in the ventilation system.

"Bag?" Pyrrha asked.

"Bag...get the trapper. We will stable this one with treatments and maybe cure her bad genetics from breaking down. This dose seems similar to what your parents did for Bizarro," Markus commented as the red-haired amazon brought out the trapper which seem like a Ghost-buster trap from the movies, and soon captured the ice-base heroine, who was still alive, out cold for real.

"Oh yeah. My dad and mom helped Uncle Bizarro with his condition with treatments & curing his bad genetics that a certain bastard didn't fix. Yes, I think we can help her with the same treatments as well," Pyrrha agreed.

The ice-base heroine opened her eyes, waking up, and saw that she was captured.

"Hello there, Freon. My friend and I have saved you. I wish to make an offer with you, a new life if you are up to it. No strings attached, no ill intentions towards innocents, and a chance to have a clear mind as well," Markus explained.

The gas form of Freon didn't speak but nodded her 'head' and eyes blinked a few times understanding. She needed help and a great help as she can feel her mind was becoming more messed up by the second and growing weaker by the second. She had this hope now, hope to finally get help. And needed it but wasn't aware yet of the fate of her late husband & friend yet. It would be a rude awakening and the former heroine would get help. Not just treatments for some of her conditions but also for mental as well. And a new path would come for the ice-base heroine now.

Something different than a hero or a clean one but would become an outlaw now.

AN: Yep Markus is building up a new team, the Neo Outlaws, and got more surprises in the waits for who the members are.
