DISC ION
AN at the bottom
"So that's my story up until now, like I mean I had everything I ever wanted, and poof just like that I no longer have a life, no longer have a name and no longer have friends." I said as I sighed trying to not get angry because it will react with my ring.
"Also you lost your arm and possible girlfriend..." I looked at her deadpanned as I'm sure I glowed red as anger passed through me.
"Yeah... not helping even though I knew the you were a doctor from looking into your story, also you will have to help me from time to time I do know that you have a phd on psychology." I told her as I reclined back in the small chair I was sat in.
"Aww you stalked me online, and yes I do have my PHD on psychology and mental trauma." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"God I miss Kara so much she was able to stand me even when I was annoying or a jerk and she could put me in my place in seconds with just a look. Even when I was being a smartass, she was just so beautiful... and I got betrayed because some idiot decided to begin pointing fingers at me." I said as I replayed the scene in my head. "Your plan didn't work." That's what Canary told him meaning that Batman is the one behind that plan.
"Well from my experience bats does know what he is doing." She said as she wrote down on her notepad, I just reclined back to the seat to be almost with my head back to the seat on the chair.
"He's an idiot dressed in a batsuit because he wants to stop crime along with a 13 year old kid." I sighed as I rubbed my face.
"And you're fifteen hon, you're not that better than him." She said as she focused and narrowed her eyes at the notes she was taking
"That doesn't matter, now I can just be angry that I was betrayed. I'm better on my own, it's just... I was just so glad to have friends that I never had the chance to be happy. But well now I just have to be here and get a paycheck." I said as I shrugged and sat back on the chair like a normal person.
"So how does this make you feel?" The question of the year, and the one I have not asked myself and really don't want to answer, but looking at her in a professional look I know I have to answer.
"It's like I'm powerless even though I know I have something in me telling me to give up, but this ring is the main reminder to not give up, and knowing me I don't give up, also I have a really high IQ and I cannot leave the planet due to a directive that was placed under it, and on top of that add the stress of constantly looking over your shoulder in case someone is after you." I said as I sighed and slumped down on the seat.
"Would you leave the planet?" She asked me, but I know the answer to that one; but it did brought me an idea.
"No, I would not dream of it; things will happen and it will bring destruction to the world in the long run if I leave." I said as I began to formulate a plan.
"And what would you do if you were invited back to the team?" She asked me thinking of a question I didn't even consider.
"I would say... no, they doubted me and my ways but I didn't actually think about that. I saw the face of someone with the same as mine, but knowing the big bad bat I couldn't even step close to her vicinity without been attacked by someone from the league. I need to think, but right now I don't think I can go on with this." I said as I stood up ending the session.
"Oh well anyway your time is up, so we will have to talk about this, another day." She said as she stood up as well. "Now about your job, let's begin." She said as she began walking towards the door of the small office, and walking into the warehouse.
"Of course Miss Quinn." I said to her as we began walking into the warehouse.
"Please hon, no need to be so formal." She said with a skip on her step.
"Of course." I responded as formal as possible, Harley just looked annoyed much like Batman used to do bringing a small smirk to my lips but quickly replaced by seriousness. As we passed another set of door we entered where every henchman in the joker gang was at. Everyone just looks shady and look like they enjoy being in this place almost brings a chill to my spine, as we entered all eyes were upon us some had clown masks on their head, others were stacking crates of what I could recognize as crates with weapons, while others just had packs of drugs en masse. But as I began to walk the construct in my arm present since I had no real need to not have my green lantern uniform or well this uniform since the last 2 days I realized I could change to red and yellow, meaning I can control them now but I cannot help but wonder if I can access all of the emotional spectrum. But that's a thought for later.
"Uh boss lady, that's a green lantern." A man near the crates said as he announced my presence as he took out an assault rifle, everyone in the warehouse got on edge as the entire mood changed and everyone was ready to open fire at me. I just smirked as I began to focus on my power and felt the fear around me.
"Relax guys, she's light; say hi light."
"..." I just glared around as I powered down stopping the glow from my ring.
"O-kay, now everyone she's here as muscle she'll be our surprise against the penguin and the bat as we free mistah Jay." Harley explained as she began walking with a sway on her hips, I saw how one henchman who looked like a wall of muscle was about to slap Harley on her butt as she walked. But following the instructions by letter I encased his hand in a construct.
"Hey what's the... ugh." He said as I made the construct to punch himself in the face repeatedly, and pulled his face to the nearest hard object which is the ground.
"Now, now no touching, you know the rules; and light over here she will make sure so that doesn't happen." Harley said as she just kept walking with a sway on her hips her leather pants with holding tightly to her behind, Harley just looked back towards me and winked. I could only groan in a low voice as I moved to keep up with her and stand beside her on the stage.
"What is the plan boss woman?" The same thug that pulled a rifle against me asked as everyone began to gather around, as we walked into a small stage, and I can see that this place is not a warehouse even though it smells and looks like one, its and empty church of some kind with a front stage or maybe it's an abandoned theater. I walked onto the stage beside Harley so she can announce her plan.
"It'll be easy, first we gonna free Mistah Jay, from Arkham as we've done before."
"But what about the bat?" Someone in the back asked.
"That's what she's here for." Harley said pointing at me, all eyes were on me and I just tried to keep a straight face I feel running out of air on my lungs, I made a construct to sit down. Harley began to explain about what were they going to do, I know that she will give me orders to do something so I began to tune her out as I began to get comfortable in my construct and made a small change so it became a single person comfortable chair, and the tiredness reminded me of yesterday and what I had to do, regarding this pains and tiredness.
"You want me to WHAT?" Simon asked me.
"Kidnap the best cardiologist on coast city, come on it's not that hard; we have people everywhere." I said as I sat on a chair in front of his desk.
"Why do you need one?" He asked confused as he pointed at me.
"Ring, run analysis and display al previous data collected." I said aloud to my ring.
"Of course Sa, oh sorry... Light." I felt myself glow as the energy passed through me, seconds later the results came in.
"Scan is complete, no change from previous condition. Analysis made indicates that the right side of you heart is facing severe myocardial necrosis, condition has not advanced from previous scans that were made different, since it's the outer layer there is no current absolute risk to your health only that the layers on your heart are going to keep on thinning; as of right now you need immediate treatment, since if no treatment is received you will die, and as you requested the estimated time left is of 28 days 13 hours and 39 minutes with 18 seconds, before deterioration reaches the complete heart failure. Also if you strain yourself too much the damage that has been done will increase reducing the time. Medication is required to make the strain in your heart to not be so extenuate and you will be getting tired as well as the use of the ring will cause this to accelerate lowering the amount of time. Also your left arm-" My ring explained but as it was about to go into my arm I interrupted it ordering through my mind to stop.
"So that is why I need a cardiologist, also I have enough for the kidnapping and for the medicines; since I cannot come closer to a place that has cameras I need someone else to do it." I said explaining my reasoning.
"I can't believe I'm helping you with this... actually that's not needed I will get an appointment to your address I will take it out of what the Joker gang payed us, remember that it's for tomorrow that job on the twenty first, which is tomorrow for the time being don't use that ring, and depending on what the doctor says I will determine what will happen with you." He told me trying to order me around as if he was my father.
"Shut up and get him to go to my apartment or kidnap him don't care." I told him as I made my way out the office.
"Alright." I heard Simon answer as I closed the door.
As I reached the third floor through the stairs never really liked the elevators but I've never felt so tired of just walking up the stairs. My apartment is on the next floor, don't really know why but it's something since yesterday. At least there hasn't been any announcement on TV regarding my identity or anything related to me... this became such a mess. I would like to see that girl that looks like me, well... the me of this universe that is happy. 'Does she have the potential for a ring? Or is she just happy being smart and with a family?'
I shook my head getting too into something that doesn't involve me; I got up and walked towards the next set of stairs. As I walked the last steps I felt like I was just finishing running a marathon, my lungs burning from the exhaustion of going up the stairs and my heart hammering against it.
"You alright kiddo?" I heard an all too familiar voice, a voice that I didn't expect to hear so soon.
"H-hey d-dad." I said weakly in between pants trying to get air into my lungs, he walked up to me and hugged me; his warmth his smell, his everything made me feel good... almost complete.
"Hey little light, you look tired." Dad said as he sat down beside me on the stairs where I decided to take a seat.
"I'm tired; I missed you even if it was just a day. Or are you here to capture me? If it's you then I surrender..." I told him as I reclined myself into his side, he responded by wrapping his arm around me his jacket giving me warmth.
"... no I'm not here to take you in, actually I came here to see how you were doing, and to warn you." He said in a serious tone.
"What do you mean?"
"Batman knows that you live here but he won't act unless he is completely sure it will be a one hundred percent chance of success." Dad said looking at me his eyes filled with worry.
"Actually I know he knows, it's pretty obvious he knows, he's Batman after all... but do you believe I was lying or a mole?" I asked him expecting him to doubt my loyalties and just leave me here. 'Maybe he's here to scout the building and look at how I was doing, and from there plan an attack.' But to my surprise it was nothing like that, he began chuckling his voice rumbling against his chest as I leant into him.
"Actually I never believed that you were the mole on that team, actually I believe if you were the mole we would've never found out it was you unless you announced it out loud; you're too smart to be discovered and cornered like that then it means that you were caught off guard and you made an escape plan on the fly and fell to your last backup." Dad explained clearly the last few years he got to know how I acted and how I thought I found myself smiling and taking in his scent.
"Thank you." I found myself saying that to him and smiling.
"You're very welcome little light, also I might be in trouble well..." He extended the E making the word longer. "...not only me."
"What did you do?" I asked him; trying to figure out what did he do to get in trouble, but in trouble with whom?
"I kinda suckered punched Batman, when I found out about his stupid plan and theories."
"But you said we?" I asked him as he smiled and chuckled a bit.
"After I punched him John also did it, Guy and Kyle were not there they missed out on that." I laughed for what felt in ages, genuinely laughed.
"I love you dad." I found myself saying those four words without thinking without even a filter in my mouth, but I fully meant those words. "And thank you so much for that."
"I love you as well... a lot, you might not be my kid but you're a Jordan, and I'm trying my damn best to clean your name from being called a mole."
"What if... I was lying to you, about... things." I told him ready to get the gnawing feeling off my chest, the sensation of not being from here, or well this universe.
"I wouldn't care, because I know you're not a traitor you're too stubborn to commit crimes and you also suck at lying, like you're a bad liar." He said in joking way as he tightened the hug and I laughed, but after a short while he looked at me in a serious look on his features.
"We're leaving earth." Hal told me in a serious tone.
"What about cleaning my name?" I asked him trying to solve what he meant.
"You aren't; Ring, protocol 312 override by Hal Jordan Senior Lantern of sector 2814, authorized by Ganthet of the Guardians of the Universe, seconded by Sayd of The Guardians of the Universe." Hal said aloud my ring reacted.
"Override accepted, Junior Green Lantern of sector 2814 is not able to leave the Earth's exosphere." My ring announced making my eyes go wide.
"Why did you do that?" I asked with confusion as I pulled away from his hug my body immediately missing the warmth he provided.
"The war of light, Sinestro declared war on the core and we're being targeted; that's why all Lanterns are being recalled to Oa to fight against Sinestro. But I made a plea to not let you join this war, you're too young and you're my daughter; and I know that for a plea I needed five votes on favor for this to work. John, Kyle, Guy, Kilowog and Ch'p seconded me on this decision." 'So Kilowog does care, and Ch'p is a really cool friend.' I can feel a warmth in my chest that doesn't hurt at all, it's hope I think.
"I do have political immunity against any attempts of arrest... but the League does not care about that since they claim I am a traitor in their eyes. But for you I am not like that, I think I have an idea to clear my name but it will be very dangerous." I said to him.
"Hey one thing I have to give you before I go, it's your birthday today right?" Dad asked me as he stood up.
"Yeah... I forgot." I told him trying to shrug off the detail of a painful day.
"No you didn't, actually I was tasked with bringing you this." He took out of his jacket a small box. "It's from all of us." I opened the box slowly with my hand, a small pendant in the shape of a small heart with a green color that is like my ring exactly an emerald green color with a small bright stone at the center to contrast the outline of the pendant the small heart shaped stoned stared back at me.
"It's beautiful, can you... help me put it on?" He took it from the box the pendant has the green lantern symbol I didn't notice that on the back says all those nicknames each of them call me. 'Little Light' at the top, followed by 'Soldier', 'Troublemaker', and 'Squirt' at the bottom.
"I assume you can tell from which is which, p.s. the last one is from Guy."
"He's still a sweet jerk." I told him with a smile as I felt the pendant get set in place around my neck and trailing down all the way close to my heart. "Tell them thank you from my end." I said to him as I looked at dad, and I know I won't be able to see him in a while.
"Actually since it's going to be your sixteenth birthday I have something special for you, it's actually from my dad; I'm sure that if he saw you right now he would be proud to call you a Jordan." He said as he began to take off his jacket, the only one that says Jordan on the left as a nametag, and sheep's wool on the inside, and on the right side the old symbol for the US air force from the 70's before the change made on the 2000s. But this is not meant for me, this is something that Hal always had; this jacket is from his dad he got it after he died.
"I cannot take this, this is yours." I told him as he just smiled and threw it over my head, I removed it from my head and held it close to my face, the smell of coffee and the lotion he uses as well as a hint of leather.
"Actually it belonged to your grandfather, and he gave it to me; hey little light, he was my motivation to go join the Air Force, which led me to become a Green Lantern and that path led me to you." He said as I held close the jacket to my chest. "I had the jacket with me since I was five and it didn't fit until I turned 16 and it still was big but I didn't care I wore it with pride, knowing that my dad was a hero and a brave man. That is why I'm giving you this, and I take no for an answer." I can't think of anything to answer him, he is giving me his treasure, his most priced possession.
"Can we make a deal?" I asked him trying to find a way to not take this jacket.
"And what will that deal be about? You know you're still keeping the jacket, right?" And that left me without a way to talk my way out of this.
"But this is your most priced possession I cannot take this from you."
"Actually I decided this way back on July, that this would be yours this year... and actually... YOU are my most prized possession. Now come on I want to see how you look in it." Dad told me in an excited tone, I placed the little box where the pendant was and with a little struggle I was able to get into the jacket.
"It's huge my hands barely come out on the end of the sleeve, and it feels like an oversized T shit." I cannot complain since the warmth the wool provided is amazing.
"Jordan come in, we are being ordered to report to Oa immediately, intel shows that the Sinestro corps are marching to Oa." John's voice came in from the ring in Hand as a hologram of John in his suit appeared.
"Yeah, I was just saying goodbye to Sam." I moved closer to John
"Hey Sergeant, I liked a lot the present."
"I'm really glad that you liked the gift, sorry that I'm not there for you. Jordan they need us." Dad sighed in a tired voice as he knew it was time to say goodbye.
"I'll be right there, go, I'll catch up with you." Dad said to John.
"Good, and soldier happy birthday sorry that I won't be able to be with you today; we will work hard for you to be able to return home." John told me in the seriousness that he always uses when I know he's serious.
"Thank you... maybe next year." I said aloud but the look on his face even through the hologram he knew I lied, or well a half-truth he just nodded and the transmission ended he did not believe me when I told him that.
"I have to go... I will miss you so much little light." His voice is so soothing to my nerves even though I know I'm under a death clock. "Thanks dad... for everything." "Hey this is not a goodbye, it's more of a see you later. Take care of yourself I know you can take care of yourself, I made sure to give out wrong information on your location; stay low and I promise as soon as I get back EVERYONE will help you as best as we can. I love you little light, I promise I will be back for you." Dad said as he stood up, he leaned and placed a kiss on my forehead and began to make his way down the stairs, the guilt of him not knowing that I might not see him again hurt me.
"I will me miss you... thank you, I was really happy for the love you gave me, and the family you and everyone else gave me. Goodbye daddy." I said to myself barely above a whisper, I stood up and walked into my apartment. As I sat down on my couch I felt myself getting really tired, my eyes slowly drifting shut. But my phone began to ring, the usual monotone ringtone that is loud enough for me to hear. "Yes?"
"We have the doctor, he's going to your house in a few minutes; and no we didn't kidnap him we will just have to pay a lot of money to him." Simon's voice came from the other line. 'At least we didn't have to go overboard.'
"Okay, I will wait for him here."
After half an hour the doctor arrived, to my apartment. "Hello?" He asked behind the door as he knocked, his voice sounds fearful. I opened the door to meet his gaze, his face turned serious as soon as his eyes made contact with me. "You're light, I suppose. The one who contacted me told me about your condition I will need you to take a seat so I can examine you." He instructed as he placed his bag with all the equipment in the table.
After what felt like forever he finished making the check-up, I also gave him the diagnosis my ring was having a countdown for. "Listen... well I don't have much to say aside from that you should be in a bed resting, it's a miracle you're even standing. I cannot say anything else aside from getting in contact with your family and spending time with your loved ones, do what you want to do. The most I could do right now is put in a word for you to place you as an emergency on the list of transplant, only thing I would need is your name and I will be stating your condition. I will need your contact information and you will have to rest, meaning you will not be using that ring of yours it deteriorates your health." I gave him all the information he needs in order for him to place me in that list and for contacting me.
"I know this is hard for you, but you will need to be strong, the most I can tell you to do is to rest a lot, your body needs it; this medicine is not much, but it will help you with the pain in your heart. For you to not experience pain you will take them every six hours, in one bottle is enough for a month doesn't take more than one every time you take them." He gave me a small bottle with pills. "This medicine will help you with the pain, only thing is that it's too strong for your body since it's not fully developed."
"I'll give you three thousand more if you leave more, because I can be really clumsy and lose them." He reluctantly sighed but he gave me 7 more bottles of the same medicine.
"Thanks doc, I will be waiting for your call." I told him as I took out 5,000 from my pocket that I had ready since he arrived.
"I'm really sorry about your condition, please take care of yourself and don't use that ring." He told me as he left, and I closed the door behind me.
"So... I am dying, well I can at least prepare the team for what they will be facing; maybe even get a Lazarus pit, that should work, only thing is I don't really want to fight my way into The League of Assassins... but taking the job from the joker gang can give me a gate into the criminal underworld and get into the light. Yeah that's actually the best idea, I have no other option to be honest with myself. Oh well being a bad guy can be rewarding but that means I have to be in contact with Batman; knowing the team they WILL go after me behind the back of The League. But if Batman does make me sure not to let the team go after me then I should be safe, He did made The Team not go after T.O. Morrow for about 2 months, and by then I will not have enough time twenty eight days should be enough, and using the ring it will only decrease time, I will give as much information to batman as soon as I am able to be in contact with him and knowing him he will be on my case as soon as I place a foot on Gotham."
"L... light, I lost you for a sec there." Harley tapped me on the shoulder shaking me out of my thoughts.
"Oh right, what do I have to do?" I told her as I put on a poker face.
"Ya will be in charge of monitoring everythin 'round, me and a team oh goons will go after the transport that has mistah Jay, it will arrive on Gotham in a few minutes. So
you're in charge of loadin everythin into tha trucks, and if the bat shows up then give im hell." She said as her tone changed to a serious one.
"Alright mam, I'll take care of everything." I told her as I stood up.
"Alright people move out we need mistah Jay with us, get on so we can move out. Light yer in charge." Harley gave orders as she began to make her way to what seems to be an armored vehicle.
"See ya." I told her as I made my way to the center of the place, the truck left and I made myself float to be able to sit on a crate, and just check around the warehouse, but since nobody is doing anything just playing cards.
"HEY! LOAD THE TRUCKS!" I yelled out in an imposing voice.
"SHUT UP!" "YEAH SHUT UP!" 2 men yelled out, I looked around to see them laughing as they returned to smoke cigars beside them were beer bottles.
"I floated over to them and glared. I will ask again nicely, get to work or else." I threatened them, both didn't seemed fazed, and just kept their chin ups clearly as if they had power.
"Let me tell you something sweetie, we do not listen to brats with a ring that..." I made a construct on both their head and moved them to the ground, both landed on the floor with loud thuds, both began to groan in pain as I dropped the constructs, I made shackles to get them pinned to the ground, one in each hand and leg and one on their necks. "Fear accessed."
"Let me tell you something sweetie." I repeated what he told me, his eyes were bulging out of his head clearly scared. "Go against my orders and I will personally throw you through a few buildings, and just to prove that I can." I enveloped the bottom side of his body and sent him to the roof with me flying beside them the entire way, I stopped only an inch from the roof of the warehouse. I dropped both of them from the roof they screamed as they fell, I sighed and made a construct of a giant mattress so they can land, as they landed on the mattress a groan left their mouths, I dissolved the construct and both landed on a ground with a thump, I landed beside them and stepped on the one that spoke to me.
"Pull that again and I won't stop until you're dead." I removed my foot from his neck and made my way to the other one, he began to get up barely on his kneed and I kicked him in the back throwing him to the floor.
"And you if you want to put your opinion out there, it's better if you save it; you're here to shoot and do whatever it is you do." I placed my foot on his head he groaned. "And please obey direct orders." I applied a little pressure as I heard a pop from his nose I removed my foot. I looked around as I floated to the same crate I was seated, everyone is looking at me after this small show.
"GET TO WORK, OR ELSE..." I powered up my ring for it to glow, everyone began to move around and getting to work. "AND YOU!" I pointed to a lanky man that was picking up a deck of cards as fast as he could, he flinched as the cards flew out of his hands.
"M-me?" He said in a scared tone.
"YES YOU, YOU IDIOT. Get me a pretzel you have less than ten minutes and it better be a good one." I told him as I threw a 20 dollar bill at him.
"Y-yes s-sir." That annoyed me, I shot at him with a low powered blast from my ring, he screamed as he got tazed.
"I AM NOT A SIR!" I yelled at him.
"S-sorry m-mam." He just stood there not doing anything, I powered my ring again as his fear was giving me more power, as well all the warehouse brought me power.
"GO! Or I will shoot you again." I told him, he just scurried off like a rat, everyone got to load the trucks emptying the warehouse, he came back exactly ten minutes later with a pretzel, he gave it to me with reluctance and gave me the change of the pretzel, after I took a bite I immediately spat it out. 'Damn does it feel wrong but it's kind of fun being a bitch to everyone else.'
"This is garbage, wow you suck at this maybe you need a lesson." I heard a few snickers around me, while the rat looked scared out of his mind.
"Anyone beside this loser, knows a good place with decent pretzels?" I asked aloud.
"Yeah on the 8th street, a store has them, they're good." A guy that looks like he's more muscle than brain said aloud from the crowd.
"You heard him rat, get to it." I told him as I lined up a shot with my hand stretched out, rat immediately ran off. Rat arrived twenty minutes later with a warm pretzel, and what seemed like a weird substance on top of it.
"H-here it is mam..." Rat said as he handed the pretzel to me.
"Good job rat, just let me check one thing." I grabbed a piece of it with my arm construct and took a small piece. "Ring scan for poison." I said aloud as my ring analyzed the pretzel.
"It's clear Light no poison, but I do not recommend for you to..." "Mute." I said as I took a bite to my surprise it is a good one.
"Alright rat here take a fifty." I threw him a 50 dollar bill at him; he brightened up and sighed in relief.
After about an hour later, I checked the clock. 'Its 21:56 Batman should already be out patrolling and he should already be aware the Joker is free again. Everyone is getting antsy as the trucks have just been fully loaded and the warehouse is empty except for the office that it's supposed to be only for the Joker and Harley.'
"Alright everybody, get ready to move out get on the trucks." I said aloud as everyone loaded up and got ready to get on the trucks. Not even a minute later the same armored truck arrived only it had a few bullet holes. "HELLO! WE'RE BACK!~" Harley nearly jumped out the truck as she was just there hanging by the door. But a few seconds later she got a kick on her butt making her fall to the ground. Immediately I made a giant construct to stop her fall. "Thanks light, wait weren't cha like... green?" Harley asked as she got up. I rolled my eyes and focused on willpower overcoming easily the fear in me.
"There ya go!" Harley skipped up to me, and wrapped both her arms around me, I struggled to get out. "Mam, could you please let me go?" I asked in my most professional and monotone voice I could.
"Nah, you're too cute." She said as she lifted me up with her arms around me and began to swing me around as she spun in a circle.
"Ah, harley, is this who I think it is?" Joker sounded like a psycho, like someone who has no care for human life.
"Yas, she is Light Fists, we contracted her as muscle and my bodyguard. Since we couldn't bring her with us since it would've brought the League to us I decided for her to stay here and set everything up for your arrival." She said as she let me go and skipped over to The Joker. The Joker meanwhile looked around him to the entire warehouse, and rubbed his chin.
"I hope I did a good job sir; everything is in place and ready to go. I think the Bat idiot and the other idiot already know about your escape." I said aloud as I motioned to the empty warehouse.
"Hmm actually yeah, you did good... wait didn't you helped the league put me in jail?" He said in a sweet and inquisitive tone that is just disturbing.
"Yes, but they betrayed me; they're looking for me as a wanted criminal. So I assumed if they think I'm a traitor and a villain, why not become what they made me? So now I work for the highest bidder and get money for punching people, blowing stuff up count me in, and after all money moves the world and I really like money." I told him as I made myself as secure as possible of myself.
"That seems fair." He said as he took a phone from his pocket. "Your payment has been made; fifty thousand are on your account..." I checked my ring on the status of my account and saw how from 25 go up to 50.
"Thanks..." I answered but as I was about to speak I heard a window crashing. "Now I will pay extra ten if you escort us and take the Bat of my back while we get away." He said as he ran at the armored vehicle to get on. An all too ominous laugh filled the warehouse.
"Ah great both idiots are here." I said aloud waiting for the inevitable ambush. 'The lack of walls breaking and a speedster running around means that it's only the dynamic duo.'
"I'll cover you sir, I will make sure that you get away." I said as I saw a small grey pellet thrown into the middle of the warehouse. I covered the pellet in a half a sphere for the smoke to not cover the entire warehouse. "Good, let's go everyone." The joker said to everyone, I saw Harley rush at me and felt a small peck on the cheek.
"See ya~." She said as I felt my cheeks heat up, but as I began to hear steps from behind me I stirred into motion, as all the trucks began to leave the warehouse. I threw the pellet out the warehouse making a lot of smoke outside the warehouse.
"Batman, I know you think of me as a traitor; but..." I ducked to the side as I heard the distinctive sound of a batarang thrown in my direction. I began to look around to try and spot him and subdue him but I can't seem to find him. But lucky for me the other idiot is obvious. I took a small leap back completely avoiding the staff robin uses.
"Shut up traitor!" Robin leaped at me as his staff was divided into sticks, I began to dodge waiting for my opening to subdue him with a kick or a punch.
"Listen I am not a traitor..." He moved with more fury towards me, I just focused on blocking and dodging.
"You have no right to say that, you were our leader and you were just behind out backs giving information to the enemy. I bet you never liked any of us, I bet you never liked Kara." That last one hurt, but I kept dodging smartly taking steps back.
"I bet you don't even remember your sister, or your mother; it was just a made up story! For us to believe and to trust you!" That one made my chest ache, as he swung vertically with his baton I moved my arm construct and moved his right arm aside as he swung down leaving his entire stomach and chest open, I took a small step forward with my left and kneed him in the stomach with as much strength as I could with my right leg.
"You betrayed me, now stay down." I told him as he slumped to the ground gasping for air. I placed him in a cube construct, making sure nothing that there would be small holes for him to breathe and placed a small count for a countdown of 7 minutes. Which is for the amount of time I can maintain that construct. A small batarang landed in front of me I couldn't move out of the way I could only brace myself, it beeped twice and an explosion launched me to the office that Harley and I used for the therapy.
"It's over Samantha, surrender; I don't want to do this. You clearly are the mole in the team and with your record it does make sense that you go that way of being a criminal." Batman's voice came from the outside of the office but soon after he came in. I readied myself to fight freaking batman. 'I need him to be alone with me, but he will not listen to reason unless he gets it beaten into his skull.'
"Sorry boss, or ex-boss but I'm not the traitor." I told him as I stood up from the broken desk, he got into a stance for martial arts with one hand extended and another one ready for taking something from his belt. Immediately we sprung into motion he leaped as he threw multiple batarangs at me. I raised a barrier to avoid being hit by them, the batarangs before they even crashed into the barrier they blew up in flash making my vision blur as well as the noise making me not able to hear.
I began to blink trying to get the flashing light off me, I began to hear a small sound in a really low pitch. I closed my eyes trying to get my vision back, but as I opened them I could not see. 'Crap it's the babel protocol for a green lantern to make him believe as if he was blind. If a lantern can't see then they can't make a construct only jokes on him. I began to launch small pulsing waves of energy feeling the energy leaving my ring and body. I heard a grunt and a crack I began blinking again until I was able to see only blurs but the big blotch of black and grey is a dead giveaway as to who I have to punch.
"Looks like contingency 2814 doesn't work so well." I heard a small grunt as the blotch began to move at me, coming up with a really dumb plan. 'This will hurt a lot.' I thought to myself, I let my guard down on purpose as if to appear dazed, a punch landed on my cheek but it hurts less that others I've received even though he's wearing armor. 'He's holding back.' He threw another punch I couldn't defend myself against, but as his armored gauntlet made contact with myself, this one hurt a lot more. I made a bubble around myself and trapped his hand on the bubble after that I wrapped his entire body in a construct as for him to not move a muscle; since most of his suit has a way to incapacitate anyone.
"Okay let's try this again." I told him as I moved my lower face mask down and spat blood from the both punched I received. I looked at his cowl he was glaring at me, as I walked towards him I felt another pang in my chest. 'Not now!' I felt the pain increase again making me groan in pain as my chest was pounding with what feels like my heart is exploding, but just as it appeared it disappeared.
"Let's go." I made a construct of a cone behind him and flew with him outside the warehouse and into the nearest sewer entrance; I broke through the floor and into the sewer. As we crashed into the sewer we began to move into the sewer away from the warehouse. I stopped and made a transparent wall between me and the construct that restrained batman and placed another wall behind him. His scowl and glare dissipated as I felt my left cheek begin get swollen and dropped his construct, he landed in a position ready to attack.
"Okay, I already beaten you, and you need to listen to me." The pain came back making me lose all concentration even my suit disappeared, at least I landed on the concrete of the side. I took out the bottle and as fast as I could I took a pill into my mouth, swallowed it, and leaned back into the wall taking a seat with my head resting against it.
"Ring, what is the time I used it today?" "I was used for 5 hours 20 minutes and 53 seconds." The voice sounded sad, I sighed. "Time left." I braced myself foo the answer.
"From 26 days 8 hours 27 minutes and 13 seconds that was estimated, it has changed to 23 days 12 hours 21 minutes and 28 seconds." "I lost a few days with only that, well it looks like I don't have much time left." I chuckled to myself.
"You're dying..." Batman said to me as he knelt down beside me.
"Yeah... he doesn't know FYI, none of them know." Batman looks sad at me, he placed his hand on his ear.
"Robin randevĂș back at the cave." Batman said in a gruff voice, I can almost hear Robin complaining about this. "She got away; the league will take care of this. Batman out." Batman said as he removed his hand of his ear, half of his face looks sad.
"It's and advanced myocardial necrosis, the medication is to treat the pain. But what the doctor told me is to begin saying my goodbyes and spend time with my family and loved ones." I sighed
"I assume you want an explanation?" I asked as I made myself more comfortable.
"Yes." Batman answered but his cowl has a worried look.
"It's okay Mister Wayne, you don't have to hold the worry on your face, I can clearly see it." He looks surprised that I know his identity, but reluctantly he removed his cowl.
"How did you know?"
"Aside from Wayne Industries giving funds to the league, and most of your tech being part of Wayne industries, also the fact that Robin goes to GA and I immediately knew who he was, and by logic deduced the father, and even who is who in the league from flash, down to superman." He looks kinda surprised to know this.
"Hmm you are smart, I'm surprised you became a lantern, usually they are as smart as their muscles can carry them." I smiled a little from that, and sighed.
"Yeah, well it's time I come clean with you..." I stared directly at his eyes and beginning with the best question that can explain my situation to him, the first time I will be completely honest with someone from this universe. "So, what do you know about the multiverse?"
Author note:
Sorry about the delay regarding this situation but I just finished the first partial, but enough about me. I am really sorry for the delay, I am trying to get each chapter with enough development. Also the best part of this story on the first part is to come on the next chapters, with Sam's condition and the team considering her a traitor and now with Robin confronting her well let's just say it's about to get... intense.
As of right now I have doubts regarding length, I can write up to 1,500 - 2,500 words in about 2-3 days or a lot if I have time for myself. Well I can give out more chapters with less words per week or a chapter about 3 weeks each with around 7,500 words up to 10,000 words but its up to you. Anywho follow, favorite and review.
P.s. I will try and get another chapter out next week, Oh and if anyone wants to check something different with around the same premise check my other story which is the same story but with a twist more of an in-universe origin story with no foreknowledge of the events.
