Disclaimer: I do not own Static Shock or Justice League
Hovering above the Earth, the Watch Tower stay and in the control room one young superhero yawn in boredom, after a long night of searching he found no clues to where the missing three supervillians were. A quick call to the police chief was all he needed to put Ebon, Talon and Shiv behind bars. To his dismay the taser he made for his girlfriend was lost that very night which he found out about the next day.
That was all of nine days ago, with no new clues on where Nail's and the other two were at or Madelyn finding her missing taser Static was currently on boring monitor duty while the rest the Justice League leads a rescue and retrieval team to the submarine before the crew suffocates, It seems that the U.S. Navy submarine USS Defiant was on patrol beneath the ocean, when it happens too close to an armada from Atlantis. The Atlantean ships attack, and the submarine sinks to the ocean, a guy name Aquaman was the one who lead the attack. It seems this Aquaman and Superman had some history with one another so there was hope this matter could be solve peacefully.
At the moment with nothing to do so Static was looking at the news paper up load on his Android phone and frown, "More break in's at convenience store's and Mega-Marts." Static mutter with his face cup in his hand, this had been happening for at least two months now, or rather it had start getting more notice. No money was taken though, just food and supplies which was odd to say the least.
"Gonna have to look into that when I get the chance." Static stated, 'AWAOOGA' suddenly Klaxons went off and his eyes went wide as the blaring warning started and the room was bathed in flashing red lights.
"What the hell!" Static shouted, as he went to work at the keyboard, there was only three reason such a alarm would go off, either the Watch tower was being attack, Earth was under attack, or final, a situation on the ground level has happen that it needs to be taken as a top priority! Over looking the information coming in Static frown at what he saw before activating the com system.
"What do you want!?" the dark gruff voice of Batman came in causing Static to roll his eyes at the man, "Well nice to hear from you too, anyway, we got a bad situation that someone needs to be look into right now!" Static said urgently.
"I'm busy at the moment, call someone else." Batman replied evenly, clearly he was unhappy that Static was bothering him with something that can be taken care of by one of the others.
"Hey, can the bad mood act would ya, this isn't something that can't wait! We got slave traders on our hands!" Static yell before he could hang up, Batman pause for a moment though Static did wonder if he was still on the line.
"What...?" was all he asked, Static was happy to have his full attention, "A known human tracking ring attack a cruise liner off the coastline of California. A total of 47 kids ranging between the ages of 7 to 12 have been taken!" Batman stop his car at hearing that.
"... Yes, that can't be over look. Where is everyone else?" Batman asked.
"Superman take half the team on a rescue and retrieval mission and the other half had to go deal with a raid on a city in West Africa, I'm on monitor duty so-"
"Put the Watch tower systems on auto alert and go look into the matter right now." Batman order cutting Static off.
"I'd like to but the last time I did that, I got grill by Green Lantern for leaving my post." Static said bitterly, he didn't like how the ring user seem to always be on his case.
"Two Face is holding City hall capture, I have my hands full. Your the only one free right now, If John got a problem with it, I'll deal with him, now move! The more time you wast the harder it going to be finding them now get going." Static gave a quick okay before closing the com-link, (Just to be on the safe side, I'd better call in a little help.) Static thought puling out his cell phone and speed dialing a certain Girl of Steel.
"Hey Static! Just the guy I was getting ready to call." Static raise an eye brow at that and her rather chipper tone.
"Really, what for?" Static and somehow he could tell she was grinning, "You won't believe what going down in Dakota right now." she said.
Dakota
Richard 'Richie' Foley, at the age of 15 he could truly say he was happy with the way his life has been, he had good friends, he grads were on the rise 'surprisingly I know' his dad was dating a 'black' woman who caught his eye name Amanda Spence which was a huge leap from his racist view of black people. he had been spending more and more time with Frieda, 'though that had more to do with the fact that they hardly saw Virgil now a days and it was really starting to get to her' in fact the only thing that could have made his life better is if that knew why his best friend was too busy to spend time with them... that is until today where he found himself tie up being held hostage at a local café by eight guys wearing black jumpsuits wearing ski masks.
"Well this has been one un-forgetful trip." Frieda mutter, they had gone to the local cafe to study for the up and coming test. Frieda had really only join Richie because she needed something to keep her mind off of Virgil, it almost seem like he was a voiding them. she use to see him around all the time but now she was lucky just to find him at school.
Virgil miss more days now then ever before yet he still score high enough on the tests to get all A's 'not that, that made the teacher any happier about his miss days' at first she thought Madelyn might have something to do with it but that girl kept herself so busy that they hardly ever saw her either. This wasn't anything new for her though, it she always been that way, it was the fact that Virgil was now hardly being seen that had her worry.
"Man this suck's, not only are we being held capture but these guys are packing Pulse Energy Rifle's!" Richie groan causing Frieda to turn to him with her eye brows raise.
"Is that bad?" she asked, he gulp and nodded.
"Let just say if a Tank is hit by that with in 200 yards... the people inside better have life insurance." Frieda pale at hearing that, (If what he saying is true then I don't even want to think about what would happen if those were use on a human!) Frieda thought hoping the police would come to save them soon.
"And to think, just an hour ago I was sitting down enjoying a coffee while doing homework when these guys came busting in." Frieda mutter to herself neither her and Richie noting the man walking up to them.
"Hey didn't we tell everyone to keep their mouths!?" one of the armed men in a ski mask shouted looking down at Richie and Frieda, both gasp when he pointed a barrel at their faces.
"Hey not wait a minute! We just-" 'BHSSSSHHH' Frieda was cut off when the front wall of the cafe was blown open and two figures hover in, "Well now this looks like a fun party. Mind if we crash it." Static said with a grin standing on his metal Disk with Supergirl hovering right next to him.
"Shit! It Static and Supergirl! Fire! Take em out!" the leader of the group shouted causing all his men to take aim at the two heroes, Static held his hand up and a ball of translucent energy appear around it. Before it they could fire all their Rifle's flew from their grip and gather around Static's hand in one big clump as Supergirl smirk and wag her finger at the stun thugs.
"Ah, ah, ah, those toys can't really do much to me or Static but it be bad if you hit one of the hostages." Supergirl stated then processed to crack her knuckles, this cause them to gulp and to her's and Static surprise held up their hands in surrender.
"Awww, I was hoping they'd put up a fight." Supergirl pout then vanish in a burst of speed, the thugs quickly found themselves tied up with the rope they had on the hostages. Said hostages were all stun as she had move so fast they didn't even notice her taking the rope off of them.
"Wow, Static... and Supergirl...?" Frieda whisper, she had seen clipping of them in the new paper working together but seeing it in real life was something else.
"Man Static so lucky." Richie thought blushing slightly as he look at Supergirl, as a fan of hers he had always hope to see her in person but now that it happen he found himself wishing he was in Static's place.
"Well that was ease!" Static said chuckling at the stun faces of the people who had just been tie up but then suddenly found themselves free, "Your gonna pay for this Static! You keep butting into Holocaust business you gonna take you out soon enough!" the leading thug shouted as Supergirl appear next to Static.
"Yeah, well who ever this Holocaust I'm gonna throw his butt into the slammer first chance I get so save him a bed why don't ya." Static quip getting growl's from the thugs, "Come on, this is settle, we're wasting our time here, we have other places to be." Supergirl reminded, Static nodded and both blitz out of there in a flash. Everyone look bewailed at how fast everything had ended, with some wondering what just happen.
"Virgil... he gonna be so mad he miss this." Richie mutter.
Currently at the old folks home Madelyn was fixing a bed but had chills running down her spine, for what ever reason, Dennis was watching her. This had been going on for a week now and it was starting to freak her out! "I'm never complaining about looking after Mister Grant again." Madelyn mutter under breath, she was assigned as the care taker of Dennis this month and while Morris like to brag about the 'good old days' at least he didn't openly perv on her.
Finally done fixing bed, Madelyn stood up and look around the room, "Bed made: check. Trash taken out: check. Floors clean: check. All the Supplies are in order: Check, and done." Madelyn said closing her eye's glad she could leave, turning around to head to the door, "GAH!?" she gasp at Dennis being right behind her and take a back step away from him.
"Mister Dennis... I was just finishing up, how can I help you?" she asked in a nervous tone, (Clearly this guy have never heard of personal space before!) Madelyn thought as he was barely a foot away from her.
"You sure do work hard young lady, it so pleasing to see youth putting forth some effort now a days." Dennis said with a creepy smile as she slowly edge to the left to get out of the trap space between the bed and him.
"Yes, well I try my best, but I'm going to have to clock out a bit earlier today." Madelyn said nervously as she move around him, "Jesse will be down stairs if you need anything." Madelyn said once she had the door to her back she begin walking backwards wanting to get out of there.
"Oh come now, surely you can spare sometime, I wanted to thank you by taking you out to lunch as appreciation for all your hard work." Madelyn close her eyes as her smile crack a little and the left corner of her lip twitch.
"I... don't think that would be appropriate, but thank you anyway and good bye." with said that she quickly turn around and speed walk out of there as fast as she could without running, Dennis simply watch her go with a dark smirk on his face.
International waters far from the Coastline of California
"Any sighs of anyone?" a large yet heavy set man ask one of his many crew men as they used advance binoculars to look our from their small freighter, "No boss I think we are in the clear now." one of his fatter men said as he and another stood with just short of 50 kids behind them. up above then standing on the top deck five more with several more standing in many different places of the ship. Most of them were relatively thin men of average height with short, scruffy, hair, a few had scruffy beards, and mustache. a few others had dark circles under their eyes, as though from a lack. sleep..
Their clothing different from person to person, some had on a white or gray jacket with a green shirt underneath, gray or black pants matching with a few wearing a jacket,
"Good, it'll be at least 3 days before we reach land with this ship so be keep a look up until night fall and make sure the little rug rats do run off anywhere." he said walking to the children with a sicking smirk on his face.
"I'm going to rest for a bit," he said with his eye washing over the kids before landing on a small a Caucasian girl with blue eyes and short black hair wearing a yellow dress and look to be the oldest one there but still no more then 14 years old.
"I'll be taking this one with me!" he stated causing the other kids to gasp in fright as she was grabbed by the arm and began to be drag away, "NO-NO-NO! I want to go back to my mommy and brother!" she cried as he held her arm in a painful grip!
"Sorry dear, your brother and mommy aren't here but if you want, ya can call me daddy! HAHHAHAHA-!" "How about we can you scrum bag instead!? NOW GET YOUR HANDS OFF THAT GIRL!" someone shouted out of the blue, everyone turn to the port side of the ship and gasp as seeing Static and Supergirl blitzing toward em! Static charge up a ball of power in his hand shot it at the one holding the hitting him and shocking the man until he was out cold!
"BOSS!" most of them shouted, "SHIT! HOW DID THEY EVEN FIND US!" one of the thugs screamed as the two landed on the ship, "Who care, just take them out!" guns were all being pointed at the two but then Supergirl vanish in a blare and the slaves starting flying all over the place as she knock them out with one hit each, Static seeing the group on the created a basket ball size electric spear and threw it at them, it impacted on one them blew up in a spray of electricity shocking all until they were unconscious!
"Screw this! Stop moving both of you!" one thug as he and his partner grab two of the kids and pointed their M4 rifle at their heads, "I said stop that you fucks! Unless you want to see the inside of these little shits head spill all over the floor!" Now that cause both Static and Super girl to stop in their tracks, the latter left eye twitch at what she saw.
"Glad you understand, now if you don't want anything to happen to these brats you'd better do as we- GHAK!?" he had been cut off when him and his partner's weapons were yank out of their hands and jam into the mouths to the point they were choking on em! Supergirl smirk at seeing a small glow coming off the two fingers Static was holding up and went back to taking out the rest of the slave traders.
"You guys are so lucky I'm a hero and there are kids here who I don't want seeing blood shed, because I'm really temped to pull the damn trigger..." Static growl causing the men to start sweating bullets, to their relief the rifle slowly move out of their throats but then spin in the air allowing the butt-stock to slam onto the top of their heads knocking face first in to the floor and out cold.
"You said it, trash like this isn't even worth keeping alive." Supergirl stated appear to Statics left side having finish off all the slavers, the kids who were in shock at everything that just happen rush over to Static and Supergirl with tears in their eyes as the two heroes eye's swapped over all of them.
"I count all 47 and other then a few, bumps and cuts here and there they all appear to be fine." Supergirl said smiling down at the kids as Static patted a few on the head while reassuring them everything was going to be okay.
"Good, Agent Sonia Alcana's should waiting for us at the coast live, let tie up the scum bags and get these kids home." Static said getting a nod out of Supergirl, two hours later they found themselves back at the coat line talking to the a brown haired woman in her late 20s with wearing a black long sleeve shirt grey pants and her side arm hanging under her left arm.
"Alright that everything." Agent Sonia looking at the many families currently enjoy at having their kids back, "Good job you two on tracking them down so fast, it would have taken hours for us to get the clearance." she stated bitterly, it was one of the things she hated about being a cup, all the red tape and arguments being done by the higher up over who the case she go to meant the criminals had more time to get away... when pointless crap like that happen she some time question if she should return to her old occupation of wearing a mask akin to a certain member of the Justice league.
"Thanks but I got to ask, how come the ship Captain didn't radio for help?" Supergirl spoke looking at the man next to her, "That would be me but I'm captain Hank Morgan." the man said dress in stander sailor captain uniform.
"But the thing is, when we were first attack I did try to see a S.O.S but something was jamming the signal!" Static and Supergirl look at one another when he said that, (I don't recall finding any advance Tech on broad the ship.) Static thought as Supergirl rub her chin, her own thinking along the same lines.
"Do you mind if we have a look at the radio station?" she ask, noticing Static press down on the com-piece in his ear, "You two want to have a look, sure but I'll have to be with you." Agent Sonia agreed.
"It'll have to be with just Supergirl, duty calls Superman want me with meet up with him now." Static stated catching both their attention, "What, another alien invasion is about to happen!?" Supergirl joke getting a dry grin from Static.
"Likely not, if he calling everyone in then it probably just a ton of kitties stuck in the tree." this cause a chuckle from both of then, taking out his disk Static hop on after charging it and flying off. Watching him go Agent Sonia as seeing the girls eyes glue onto the retreating teens back.
"So... that your boyfriend?" Agent Sonia asked her, who turn to who gave a dry smirk, "Nope, can't a guy and girl handout, without everyone making it into something it not?" she ask grabbing the agent by her collier and hovering off the ground, "Sure they can." she said sarcastically as Supergirl made her way to the ship with Sonia in tow.
Elsewhere, Static could not believe what he was hearing, Aquaman gone to the surface and visits the world conference for peace. Unfortunately, his approach was less than diplomatic: He arrogantly insists that the surface nations must cease their intrusion into and pollution of the oceans. Outraged, the world's leaders say he is being unreasonable. As Superman showed and tried to convince him to stay and be more moderate a sniper fired a bazooka rocket right in front of Aquaman, gravely injuring him! He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where they were unsure how to treat him. Then Batman appears and orders that he should be moved into a saline water tank, which allows his natural healing abilities to work.
"Okay... so why am I here again?" Static asked over his com-link standing on top of a building as he watch over place Aquaman was in.
"Did Batman not tell you?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Actually the one who told me to come here was Flash and other then that, no." Static replied causing her to groan.
"Aquaman some time ago saying he had nothing to do with the plutonium being stolen, the only lead we have right now is the assassin." Wonder Woman stated, Static nodded.
"Okay, but what that got to do with me pulling guard out here?" Static ask again.
"We're putting the word out that Aquaman is being moved to a specialist facility, as bait for the assassin to try again, and he reveals himself." she said and Static understood.
"Right, so then when they bring him out, I follow out of sight?"
"Yep, myself and the others are also following as well and the real Aquaman will be hanging back guarded by Green Lantern." Static held from saying how much of a bad idea he thought that was.
"With luck we can catch this killer before he harms anyone else, so you had better be on your A game for this." Wonder woman said in a commanding tone.
"Roger that boss lady!" Static said cheerful getting a chuckle from her.
"Just be ready, wise guy, their moving him now." looking down he quickly saw them moving 'Aquaman' on a gurney to the transport vehicle waiting, "I guess that my cue-" 'SWOOOSSSHHH' "Or not!" Static dash backwards as several arrows flew by him and stab into the roof top! Surprise by this but before he could even process what had happen a a flash from his left catch his attention turn around only for his eyes to widen!
"What the hell!?" Static gasp and fired an electric blast at what look like crimson energy constructs made into chains, "And who are you suppose to be, Red Lantern, the sister of Green Lantern?" Static ask sarcastically looking up at a lady with silver/light gray skin and spiked, black hair with red bangs. Her dress is black up until her waist, where she has a red skirt with black stripes. Static arc an eye brow at the smirk on her face.
"Heh, kids got jokes." she said with a New Zealand accent, "Indeed but is he ready for the danger ahead?" a deep Russian accent filled voice spoke next causing Static to look to his right and see what look like a large man wearing a military uniform glaring down at him with glowing red eyes. The man's height had to be around 6.8 at least and didn't look like a push over. flicking his eyes over to when the lady from before was still floating in the air, add to that he hadn't a clue where the person was who shot the arrows from before Static quickly realized he was in a bed situation.
"Umm Wonder Woman? I think I'm in trouble here." he said tapping his com-link now completely guard, "Static we've spotted the assassin! What going on, on your end!?" she yell as she rush with the others after the man called Deadshot even as she was full of worry for Static.
"Well I-" 'BAM' a shard burst of pain at the base of his neck cut him off, falling forward the world went black before his body hit the ground as a dark figure stood over him.
Sometime later Superman could be seen flying down to the ground to pick up Dead Shot from his crush van, he given then quite a chase before they brought him down, Wonder Woman who was in a foul mood take him from Superman and slamming him into a wall holding him off the ground by his shoulder.
"Who paid you to do this?" Deadshot looked over to her. "Now come on babe I can't say, professional ethics." He spoke looked her up, and down, really checking her out breast. "But if you make it worth my while..." that had been the wrong thing to say as she punch the wall next to him smashing a whole through it.
"Cut the crap and talk!" she snap, while he had been startled it quickly change to a smirk under his mask, "Yeah no thanks, besides we both know you won't kill me so unless- AGh!?" he gasp in pain when Wonder Woman tighten her grip on his shoulder.
"I don't think you need your bones intact to keep on living!" she growled putting on more presser on him to the point that it felt like it would break, Superman and Flash were about ready to jump in if she went to far, "Alright I'll talk, I'll talk!" he cried causing her to finally let him go and drop him on his butt.
"Who hired you?" Dead shot stood up rubbing his sore shoulder before answering. "I don't know their name, I never ask question's." Batman now joining them just glared at him. "Not good enough, how were you paid?" Deadshot turned to the back of his van showing an opened chest with gold coins, and small statues. "In gold." Batman walked over, and picked one up. "Spanish doubloons."
"Where would they get that?" Wonder Woman asked before all their eyes widen
"Atlantis." Their eyes widened. "Looks like someone down there wants the king of the sea dead." Flash said before Green Lantern floated down, rubbing his jaw. "Too late to warn him, he's already heading back." Wonder Woman sighed before looking up. "Hera help him." as Batman quickly put his mind to work.
"Superman, Wonder Woman, I'm heading back to the cave to look into something, while Green Lantern and the others take Deadshot to the police station, use this to try and track down Static." Batman said reaching into his belt and pulling out a small device designed to track down their com-links if stolen. Both nodded with the latter taking the device and then both taking off.
Several minutes later they were closing in on the signal, before Superman finally spoke, "Diana are you okay?" he asked as she reuse to take her eyes off the device.
"Yes, and I'll feel even better then we find out what happen to Static." she replied but he knew it wasn't true with out tense she was, "Don't worry, we'll find him, beside the kids tough, he can handle things on his own for a bit." Superman told her and she nodded hoping that was the case, both were then surprise when they saw they was back to the building were Aquaman was being held.
"The signal coming from the building across from it... the site Static was station at." Superman said, he and Wonder Woman flew up to and landed on the roof, only to see nothing there... nothing but the a tiny object lying on the roof a few feet away from them.
"That not good, that not at all." Superman stated watching Wonder Woman walk over to it and pick it up, it was the com-link, sighing as she look at the ear piece in her hand she whisper one word. "Static."
