Disclaimer: I got a review from someone who seemed a bit confused about Dinah being Connors mother so I thought I should explain to those who are confused as well. It's simple really, I have read many fanfictions where Connor considered Dinah as his mother and she considered him as her son. And as I said there are stories out there that actually write about this relationship between them whether it'd be the main focus or just something that is mentioned. Such a story if I remember correctly would be Just Being a Teen By TheBaneOfOlympus91 however it would probably take you awhile to find it. I also think it makes sense after all Dinah seemed to be the only female leaguer, one of very few leaguers actually to reach out to Connor and try to help him. Anyway that's my explanation I hope this clears up any confusion about it them. I don't own Young Justice if I did there would be changes.
"While Robin was in Gotham, Zatanna was in Central City on her way to spend time with Constantine," the Narrator typed
Chapter 3: Gotham Gang War
Central City, 1:00 P.M.
Zatanna was walking to the theater thinking, 'I wonder if Constantine still has a crush on me, I hope not, because it could put a strain on me and Robin's relationship, and I really don't want that,' she thought, Zatanna then noticed that the theater was just up ahead and continued walking. When she got there she saw Constantine wearing the same thing he wore last night.
When Constantine saw Zatanna, he walked up to her, "Hey Zatanna, glad you could make it," he said and hugged her.
Zatanna hugged him awkwardly, "Well it's not like I have anything else to do," she said as they broke the hug.
"That's good, what do you say we get going," Constantine said
"Ok, let's go," (page 12) Zatanna said, they then start walking down the sidewalk.
"So Zatanna, what have you been up to since we've last seen each other," Constantine asked
"I've joined a covert ops team that works for the Justice League," Zatanna said
"Really, that's cool," Constantine said
"Yeah it is, we're like spies, we gather intel for the league, we observe and report, sometimes we get action missions, but no matter what nothing seems to go our way on the missions, but we always end up on top because of Robin's plans, he's an amazing tactician," Zatanna bragged
"Robin. How long have you two been going out," Constantine asked as they turned right.
"We've been going out for three months, and I've never been happier," Zatanna said happily
"Do you know who he is," Constantine asked
Zatanna sighed, "Sadly no, he can't tell me his secret identity, he needs Batman's permission and right now the Dark Knight isn't budging," she said
"Oh, I'm sorry," Constantine said
"It's ok, really I'm fine with waiting," Zatanna said
Constantine nodded, he then looked up ahead, "Hey look, we're here," he said as the stopped in front of the building.
Zatanna looked at the building, it wasn't exactly the biggest building, but it wasn't small either, there were two pull doors, there were windows that showed the inside of the restaurant which had tables and chairs with people sitting in and eating sandwiches, there were tables and chairs outside, above the door there was a sign that said Mario's Sandwiches.
They walked to the doors where Constantine entered first followed by Zatanna.
Inside Mario's Sandwich Shop
Constantine and Zatanna are seen entering the restaurant, they go and find a table. They find one near a window. They sit down and start to talk again, "So Constantine, what have you been up to all of these year," Zatanna asked
"Well after a couple of years after you left school, I left as well in search of magical items to keep out of the wrong hands, I'm also teaching myself magic, just like you," Constantine said
"Wow, that cool and noble," Zatanna said
"Thanks a lot," Constantine said
Constantine and Zatanna was then approached by a waitress, who looks to be eighteen, she has brown hair in a high ponytail, she's 5'5, she's wearing a red buttoned up shirt , black pants, black shoes, and had a name tag that said Stacy. "Hello, welcome to Mario's Sandwich Shop, can I get you any drinks," Stacy said as she laid down the menus in front of the teens.
Zatanna and Constantine looked at the (page 13) drinks, "I'll have a sprite," Zatanna said
"Diet Coke for me," Constantine said
Stacy wrote down the drinks, "I'll be back with your drinks and then you can order," Stacy said
"Ok, thank you," Zatanna said, Stacy then walks off.
"So Zatanna," Constantine said
"Yeah," Zatanna replied
"How did you and Robin meet," Constantine asked
Zatanna smiled at the mention of her boyfriend which angered Constantine greatly, "When I found out about the team and who it consisted of, I begged my dad to let me meet them. At first he refused but after tons of begging he agreed. So on October 10th my dad took me to the cave, I met the team and I fell in love. The team ended up "kidnapping" me so they could search for Red Tornado, our first stop was Ivo. I spelled him to tell us where Teomaro's hide out was. When we arrived, we ran into Red Tornado only to get a message from him to play dead. We did that but Red Volcano anticipated Tornado's betrayal, we then attacked Red Volcano and Tornado left the battlefield , the fight continued, Red Volcano was bragging about how he had Red Tornado's memories and he knew the team's every move, that's when I said a spell to blind Red Volcano temporarily and I ended up saying, "Tornado never knew my moves," Robin landed behind me and said, "And I bet you got some good ones," I was surprised at hearing that but it made my heart flutter that he said it, he apologized and I said, "I don't mind," later Red Tornado returns and brings his brother and sister, Red Torpedo and Red Inferno. Together the red's defeated Red Volcano but at a cost of Red Torpedo and Red Inferno. Red Volcano however ended up causing a stage three eruption, Wally instructed everyone on how to stop it, he told Rob to find the focal points which Rob did, Artemis shot her arrows at the points, Red Tornado then used his power to counteract the eruption and we saved the world from a nuclear winter," Zatanna said
"Sounds like quite the adventure," Constantine said
"Oh it was, to bad my dad ended up grounding me for life, and that we lost RT's siblings," Zatanna said the last part sadly.
"They're just robots Zatanna, it doesn't matter if they get destroyed or not," Constantine said
Zatanna frowned, "It mattered to Red Tornado and the team and me," she said
"But they're not even alive," Constantine said
"Just because they're not organic doesn't mean they're not alive, Red Tornado is as much alive as you and me," Zatanna said getting very defensive.
"Ok ok, I'm sorry, what do you say that we talk about something else," Constantine said
(page 14) Zatanna crossed her arms, "Good idea," she said
Stacy came back to the magicians table with the drinks, "One sprite for the girl and one diet coke for the boy," she said as she sat the drinks in front of the two teens, "Enjoy your date."
"This isn't a date," Zatanna said
"Really because it sure looks like one," Stacy said
"Well it isn't, it may look like one but it isn't, I already have a boyfriend," Zatanna said
"To bad, you two look good together," Stacy said
Constantine smiled at the comment.
"Well we're not," Zatanna said without hesitation
Constantine's smile turned into a frown when he heard Zatanna, 'What is it about this Robin that she likes,' Constantine thought
"Anyway, are you ready to order," Stacy asked
"Yes, I'll have a sandwich with Italian bread, lettuce, tomato, ham, honey mustard and ketchup," Zatanna said
Stacy wrote down Zatanna's order, then she turned to Constantine, "And what about you," she asked
Constantine looked over the menu, "I'll have a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich," he said
Stacy wrote down the order, "Ok, I'll be right back with your orders," she said and then left.
Gotham Port, 13:52 P.M.
Robin, Kid Flash, Red Arrow, Supergirl, Wondergirl, and Lilith finally made it, they had to make multiple stops to stop crimes which took a while despite their numbers. Finally they can do the assignment that they were given. Supergirl, Wondergirl and Lilith all landed on the ground where the boys were at. They then started walking, the order is Kid Flash, Supergirl, Robin, Red Arrow, Wondergirl, and Lilith. They were surrounded left and right by crates waiting to be shipped.
"Hey has anyone noticed that the females of our group can fly and the males are grounded," Kid Flash said
"Hm, you know now that you mentioned it, I have never noticed that," Lilith said putting her left index finger on her chin as if in thought.
"That just proves that girls rule and boys drool," Donna said
"Now hang on a second, I can fly you've all seen it. These two are the only ones who can't fly," Robin said as he gestured towards Kid Flash and Red Arrow.
"How about girls and Robins rule," Lilith said
"Much better," Robin said with a smirk.
"Hey uh Kara," Wally said only to get silence from the girl, "Come on Kara can we talk about what was discussed on the roof?"
"This is neither the time nor place for this conversation Wally. You've been in the life long enough to know that," Kara said
"Yeah I know but if we're gonna fight beside each other then shouldn't we talk so we can work better together," Wally said
"There's nothing to talk about. I get it ok. I was wrong you never liked me despite what everyone said," Kara said
"Kara come on. It's not like that" Wally said, he was going to continue but Kara interrupted him.
"This conversation is over. Let's just focus on the mission ok," Kara said
Wally sighed, "Ok," he said
"So, where's this gang war that we're supposed to stop," Wondergirl asked
"It should be up ahead," Robin said
"Finally, some action this tense atmosphere is starting to get to me," Lilith said
"We should get on the crates so we won't be seen," Robin said as he started to climb the crates.
"Uhhh, climbing, seriously," Wally said
"Shut up and start climbing," Red Arrow said
"But, I don't want to," Wally said, he looked to his left and saw the girls floating up the crates, "Sometimes I wish I was given flight in the place of speed," Wally then started climbing. When they finally reached the top, Red Arrow gestured them to follow. They started walking, about a minute later they heard a "clang", like metal colliding with metal, when they heard this they sped up their walk, then they heard gun shots, all six looked at each other and then started running. Wally and Kara were running slower than usual, so that they wouldn't leave their four friends behind.
When they got there, all they saw was chaos and war. They saw people of multiple ages from young teens to thirty years and older, all fighting. The gangs all (page15) had symbols that showed which gangs that they were from, some gang members had blood red dragon tattoos on their arms and faces, the men were wearing black sleeveless jackets with cut jeans and black combat boots, and the women were wearing the same thing the men were wearing, they were known as the Blood Dragon Gang or the Blood Dragons. The other gang wore sleeveless jean jackets with a black panther head on the back, they wore jeans, black shoes and each one had a black panther head with its mouth open showing its sharp teeth tattooed on their arms or heads, they were known as the Black Panther Gang or the Black Panthers.
"Batman didn't say that the gangs that were fighting were the Blood Dragons and Black Panthers," Donna said
"Things just got a lot harder," Kara said especially considering what weapons the two gangs were using in their war.
The gangs were all fighting each other with pipes, to all six heroes dismay crowbars, pistols, machine guns such as Ak-47's, sniper rifles, knives, etc. the original six were shocked at all of this. "Where did thugs like these get military graded weapons," Lilith asked
"We'll figure that out later, right now we need to stop this, let's go," Red Arrow said, and with that he jumped off the crates with Robin, Kid Flash, Supergirl, Wondergirl, and Lilith following. They landed on the ground with ease. The team looked at each other and nodded at the plan. Roy looks straight and points his right index and middle fingers forward, "Go."
With that the group split up, Kid Flash, Supergirl, and Lilith all went off to take care of the members with the machine guns while the other three dealt with the rest.
Battle ground
Robin looked ahead to see a kid probably thirteen laying on the ground with a bleeding shoulder, standing above the kid was a man somewhere in his twenties about to shoot the kid. Robin would have none of that, he went into action immediately. Robin ran towards the two, reached into his utility belt, took out a birdarang, and threw it. The birdarang hit the man's hand making him drop the gun and hold his hand in pain. When the man looked to see who threw the birdarang, he saw Robin jump at him and punched him. The man was knocked out and the Boy Wonder stood over the man for a second and then turned around to look at the thirteen year old.
"Y-you're Robin, the Boy Wonder," the thirteen year old said in amazement recognizing the hero even without his uniform.
"Yes I am, now it's time for you to leave and go home," Robin said firmly
The thirteen year old nodded and ran from the port as fast as he could. Robin smiled, happy that the kid listened, then he frowned, it was time to get serious. He heard clangs from behind him, Robin turned around to see a group of guys dueling with metal pipes and crow bars, the partner of Batman ran to the group, he jumped in the air and landed on his (page 16) hands on the B.D. (Blood Dragon) man's shoulder, Robin split kicked two B.P. (Black Panther) men in the noses, they held their noses in pain. Robin pushed off the thug's shoulders and landed right in front of him. The B.D. thug punched at Robin but Robin was quick, when the fist was close enough, he grabbed it and judo threw the guy on the ground, the guy didn't get up.
"Hey kid," a voice said behind Robin, he turned around to see a crowbar coming his way, Robin back flips, dodging the crowbar. Robin then sees the two thugs that he split kicked, both had bloody noses and very pissed off faces on.
"Ouch, didn't know I kicked you that hard," Robin said in amusement.
"Yeah well you're going to pay for it, with a finger or two," BP thug 1 said as he took out a knife and twirled it into his hand.
Robin raised his eyebrow, "You do know who I am, right," he asked
"I don't care who you are kid, I'm gonna cut you up," BP thug 1 said, then he and BP thug 2 ran towards Robin.
Another part of the port
There were multiple thugs and thugetts (I know thugetts isn't a word but I didn't want to keep on saying male thug and female thug or any other variation that included two or more words especially if I'm just referring to one person) on both sides were shooting machine guns at one another, right when the B.D.'s were loading, a brown blur went past them and they found out that their guns are gone, the B.P.'s saw this and were about to open fire when the same brown blur went past them and they found their guns gone as well. They all looked at each other in confusion, "You know," a voice said, the gun men and women looked toward the voice to find Kid Flash leaning his back against a crate with his arms crossed, "Guns aren't toy. They're very dangerous and could kill someone."
"Yeah, well that's the idea," a B.P. thug somewhere around his twenties said, "Who are you to reprimand us."
"I'm the guy who's giving these kids the chance to walk away from this, if you stay on the path you're on now, you're going to end up in juvie, jail, or prison. Go home before it's too late," Wally said seriously
Some of the 18 and under aged group looked like they were thinking it over, "You're not seriously thinking this over," the BP man said
"I'm sorry Rick, but I don't want to go to juvie," a twelve year old boy with short brown hair, green eyes, and the same height as Robin a couple of months ago said, he emptied his pockets of weapons and started to walk away.
"Don't do this Johnny," Rick said, "JOHNNY, YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE." Johnny however kept on walking, "Fine then, just remember it was because of this choice that this happened," Rick reached in his jean jacket and pulled out a gun and pointed it at the thirteen year old. (Page 17) Wally however saw this and took off running immediately. Right when Rick was about to pull the trigger and kill Johnny, he saw a blur, the next thing he knew the gun was hit out of his hand and Wally was in front of him and even though he couldn't see his eyes because the goggles covered them, Rick could tell that Wally was furious.
"How. Dare you try to shoot a person while their back is turned, none the less a kid. That's cruel and dishonorable," Wally said
"And you think I care, he left us and the penalty for that is death," the BP man said
"There's a saying, what goes around comes around," Wally said, not a hint of positive emotion in him which unnerved the man in front of him.
"Will you shut up and get out of my way before I force you," the BP man yelled trying to sound threatening but Wally wasn't threatened.
"Make me," was all Wally said
The man was shaking but he wasn't sure if he was shaking out of anger or fear of that glare the kid in front of him was giving him, the bat glare.
"Fine, if you won't get out of my way, I'll make you," the BP man yelled, the BP man threw a punch at Wally but the speedster caught it, he then threw his own punch in the BP man's stomach and the man fell, everyone was in shock, the kid just took down someone twice his size but what no one knew was that Wally didn't punch the man once but twenty times in the stomach in high speed.
"Don't be stupid, drop your weapons and go home," Wally said, with that said half of the kids there dropped their weapons and left while the other half stayed. Wally smiled at the kids who left and then frowned at the kids who stayed, "For those kids who left, I commend them, for those who stayed. You're the dumbest kids in Gotham."
"We can take you down, there are fifty of us and one of you," a sixteen year old BD girl said, she had brown curly hair that stopped at her shoulders and brown eyes.
"You're going to pay for taking away our members, let's get him," a BP thug said, and with that both gangs took out their extra guns and fired. Wally dodged the bullets by running, he leaned left then right, he jumped over some and then used the acrobatics that Dick taught him and did a front handspring, he appeared behind the sixteen year old girl and chopped her in the back of her neck, knocking her out. Wally then took off to the next guys. He ran to two guys and sweeped them on the ground, then he ran and started to punch or kick the guys to the ground or chopping the girls in the back of the neck, knocking them all unconscious. When Wally stopped he looked at his handy work and smiled in satisfaction but then saw a girl about his age and then he frowned, 'I know Dick told me that kids in Gotham join gangs to survive, but I still say it's (18) stupid and they should get out when they have a chance,' he thought. A gun shot broke Wally out of his thoughts, 'I shouldn't be standing here, the others may need help,' and with that Wally ran back in the fight.
Somewhere in the port
BP and BD gang members were all shooting at each other with their machine guns when all of a sudden lasers came out of nowhere and heated the guns up so much that the gangs all dropped the weapons. When the gang members looked at their weapons they only saw melted metal.
"Maybe you can recycle that metal into something more useful," a voice said
The gang members all looked to see Kara land in the middle of their shooting ground.
"Like some scissors, some of you guys could use a haircut," Kara quipped as she looked at the group before her specifically five men with hair that reaches their mid-back.
"Get out of here kid before you get hurt," a gruff BP man said
"Na, I think I'll stay after all someone has to convince these kids to leave," Kara said as she looked at six kids, four boys and two girls all around fifteen years old. Seeing kids in this gang war really saddens Kara, it just proves how rough a place Gotham really is.
"Hey isn't that Supergirl," one of the girls said
"Yeah she is Supergirl," another girl said
"Supergirl or not there's no way you're convincing us to leave. These bastards think that they can take our turf. We'll make them think twice," one of the boys said motioning toward the BP members.
"Atta boy Henry," one of the BD men said
"Do you really think this is the right thing to do," Supergirl said
"It's the only thing to do. To survive," a boy from the BP group said
"No it's not, there are other ways to survive," Kara said
"What would you know? You live in Metropolis. One of the nicest and coziest cities out there," the BP boy said
"Don't let looks fool you, Metropolis has its bad places, I've seen kids who wear nothing but rags because they don't have money to get proper clothing. Central and Star City are the same way, and yes it's true that Gotham is one of the worst places to live in with all of its crime and poverty. I know Gotham, I know its problems because I know Robin the Boy Wonder and I've patrolled Gotham before," Kara said
"If you know the problems then why reprimand us on doing what we need to do to survive," one of the girls said
Kara looked at the girl in pity, "Because you don't need to do this. There are other ways to survive," Kara said
"Oh yeah like how," the BP boy asked in curiosity
Kara smiled she was getting through to them, "You go to school make some real friends and if you need help ask for it. I've met people who were in the same situation you are all in and worse and those people today have families, wives, husbands, children, successful in their careers and they all say the same thing. If they hadn't had the experiences that they had then they wouldn't have had the determination to make something of themselves and it's because of those experiences that they can give their children lives that they never had. You all have a bright future ahead of you. Don't throw it away by becoming criminals. If those people can make it then so can you but you need to work for it. Nothing is worth gaining if you don't put in the time and effort. All it takes is one step and you can turn your lives around here and now. So what do you say? Will you take that step," Kara said
The six kids actually looked like that they were putting some thought into what Supergirl said. Finally after a couple of seconds of thinking the BP boy spoke, "I'm willing to take that step," he said as he emptied his pockets of whatever weapons he had and then started walking toward Kara's direction.
"So am I," a BD girl said as she emptied her pockets and headed in the same direction as the boy.
The other four said that they were willing to take the step to and all started walking to Supergirl.
"You have to be kidding. You really believe that bullshit," a BP man said
"After everything we done for you," a BD man
All of the kids ignored the men and kept walking.
The BP man growled, "Fine if you want out, I'll help you," he said, he then took out a pistol, raised it and aimed at one of the girls, right when he was going to pull the trigger a blue blur sped right in front of the man, a fist then punches him in the face and sends him flying 30 feet away from the group.
Everyone looks at a very pissed off Supergirl. The hero looks behind her to see six shocked kids, "There's an exit on the other side of these crates. Run, get out of here now," she yelled at the kids
The kids did as they were told and ran away from the current location.
"Alright guys, let's play," Supergirl said as she cracked her knuckles.
Both BP and BD gang members all took out their extra firearms consisting of pistols, rifles, shot guns and machine guns and started firing at Supergirl.
Said girl stood her ground and lets the bullets hit her.
When the gangs ran out of bullets they looked to see a completely uninjured Kara with bullet holes in her clothes just standing there with her hand on her hip and eyebrow raised, "You done," Kara asked
The gang members looked at the girl in shock, "What but how," a BP woman asked just before Kara sped up to her and bitch slapped her into a crate.
"Bitch didn't you hear I'm Supergirl," Kara said with a smirk on her face. A man behind Supergirl tried to hit her in the head with the butt of his rifle but Kara turned around and caught the gun with her right hand. The man tried to pull his weapon away only to find out that he couldn't, "Seriously even if I didn't catch it did you really think that would have hurt me? I'm indestructible, I'm also super strong," to prove her point Kara squeezed the rifle crushing it easily. Once again Supergirl smirked she then pulled the gun away and flicked the man on his forehead knocking him back ten feet.
"FIRE," a BD man said, all of the gang members then fired at Kara once more.
Kara quickly flew up in the air and then down to the gang members. She used her heat vision to melt five gang member's guns, Kara then flew past them punching each in the right cheek knocking them down. Bullets continued to be shot at her from behind her, so quickly Kara picks up one of the men, "Here catch," she then throws the man at three BD members who got knocked down to the ground. "10 down, 10 more to go."
"Hey bitch," a voice said from behind Kara.
Kara hearing the insult got mad, "What did you just called me you insufferable bastard," she said as she turned around facing the ten gunmen.
"You heard me," the man said as he cocked his AK-47 and he and the other gang members started shooting only for Kara to dodge them all and fly towards the guy.
When Kara was in front of the man she grabbed to man's shirt, "Yeah I heard ya. Let's see who the real bitch is," she said, Kara then threw the man at two gunmen making them fall down, "Hm, looks like it's you."
A man then comes from behind Kara with a knife and tries to slash at her only to see her suddenly disappear, "What," the man said, the next thing he knows the man feels a sharp pain in his stomach and suddenly everything goes black and he collapses.
Kara doesn't stop to stare at the man that she knocked unconscious with a single punch to the stomach. She immediately flies to the other gunmen, Kara appears in front of a BD gunman #1 and punches him in the face sending him flying ten feet. She then speeds to BP gunman #1 and kicks him in the stomach then punches him in the face to the ground. Behind Kara a BP gang member swings his rifle only for Kara to do a backbend to dodge, she then pushed off her hands and back-kicked the man in the face, once Kara was on her feet she leg sweeped to man to the ground. A bullet passes Kara, the last of the ten men was unloading everything he had at the girl, however said girl dodged the bullets and flew to the man, once she was in front of him Kara kicked the man in the stomach making him bend over, Kara took this as an opening and uppercut the man, lifting him ten feet into the air until he landed on concrete unconscious. "That's how we do things in Metropolis." Kara then looks down at her clothes, "I just bought this outfit. Well that's what I get for showing off," Kara then hears gun shots, "Need to get back in the field. People could be in trouble," Kara then lifts off in the air to find more gang members to stop.
Another part of the port
Once again a familiar sight is shown, two gangs fighting it out with both close and long range weapons. A BD gang member hits a BP teenage boy in the head with a crow bar knocking him down on the ground, the kid looked at the BD member with fear in his eyes. The BD member raised the crow bar above his head ready to smash the kid's head open when suddenly a rope wraps around the crow bar and the weapon is pulled out of the man's hands. The man immediately takes notice and turned around to see who would dare to take his weapon only to see Donna holding the crow bar in her left hand while in her right hand she held a rope.
"What the," the man said
Donna immediately locks eyes with the boy, "Go to the hospital and get that injury fixed up. Then go home, you don't need to be here," she said
The kid still feeling fearful for his life didn't argue, he did as he was told and ran away from the two. The man saw the kid running, "Not so fast," the man took out a gun and pointed it at the kid, right when he was about to pull the trigger a rope wrapped around him, surprising him. The man was then swung into a crate knock him out on impact.
Donna heard a gun cock and immediately rolled away as bullets rained on where she was standing. Wondergirl looks to where the shooting came from and saw two guys with machine guns in their hands. The men started shooting again but Donna was ready for them she immediately pulled up her sleeves showing her silver wrist braces and blocked the bullets the only way a Wonder can do. When the last bullet approached Donna didn't deflect it but sent it back to where it came from. The bullet entered the gun that it was shot out of at the same time a bullet was about to exit. The bullets clashed and the gun exploded making the man drop it. Both men were so shocked that they didn't notice Donna fly up to them, by the time they noticed it was too late. Donna was in front of the shooter and buried her fist right in the man's face, Donna then round housed the man knocking him out. Donna heard a gun cock but before the shooter could do anything the partner of Wonder Woman turned around quickly, disarmed the man and kicked him in the stomach with enough force to send him five feet on the ground.
Donna saw two men running at her with knives in their hands when they were in reaching distance one of the men swung his knife at her only for Donna to catch it, Wondergirl then elbowed the man in the nose making him fall to the ground holding his nose in pain, in the corner or her eye Donna saw a glimmer and immediately ducked, a knife then passed above her head. Wonder Woman's sister then turned around, grabbed the man by the shirt and threw him on top of four other men running toward them.
Donna looked around observing her handy work, "Not bad," she said, Donna then lifted herself up in the air and went to find more gang members to take down.
Another part of the port
There were gang members who were swinging their chosen objects and shooting each other with their chosen guns, suddenly all of the weapons that the gang members were holding were forced out of their grasp by an unknown force and put on top of a crate.
"What the hell," a BP man said
"tisk, tisk, tisk. For shame," a voice came from above.
All of the gang members looked up in the air to see Lilith floating there, "Didn't your parents or guardians ever teach you that violence doesn't solve anything, someone only ends up getting hurt," Lilith scolded mockingly
"Well I'm an orphan, I wasn't taught that so screw you," a BP guy said
"Well…you just made this awkward for me. Heh whatever my statement still has merit," Lilith said
"Oh yeah, what's that," a BD 15 year old boy asked
Lilith landed on the ground in the middle of everyone, "This is wrong all of this violence is meaningless. Put down your weapons and leave while you still have your lives," Lilith said
"Screw you. Maybe to you this is meaningless violence but to us taking this place over means expanding our control over Gotham so much not even the dynamic duo would dare mess with us," a BP woman said
"Not if the Blood Dragons take it over first," a BD man said
"Do you believe this to," Lilith said to the fifteen kids who were there, "Do you believe that killing each other is the best solution here, that taking over Gotham is a good thing," she asked
"No one can hurt us if we have control," A BD girl about sixteen said
"You're wrong no matter what you do you will always get hurt and most likely killed if you stay in a gang," Lilith said
"And how would you know," a BP boy about thirteen said
"Because I've seen it before. Kids who are in gangs, they believe that their gang will look after them, and take care of them. But then the kids would make a mistake and in the end, they wind up dead. I have saved many kids from a fate like this but have failed to save just as many because they didn't listen and failures like that forever haunt me," Lilith said
Some of the kids who were listening seemed to be thinking over what Lilith was saying.
"Don't listen to a single word this bitch is saying. She's just trying to trick you," a BD man said
"No I'm not. I'm telling the truth," Lilith said
"Whatever," a BP man said, he then took out a pistol from his back pocket and pointed in towards Lilith, "Kill this slut where she stands."
With that BP and BD gang members all took out their firearms and started shooting at Lilith. Lilith however reacted quickly and flew up in the air dodging the bullets. Her eyes glowed white behind her glasses making them shine, Lilith sweeps her left hand left knocking some gang members on the ground. Bullets continued to rain on her making Lilith maneuver through the air to dodge them. Quickly Lilith psychically pushed a BD man into a crate making him slam his back against it knocking him out. She then used her powers to throw him into a BP man that was only ten feet in front of him. Lilith heard a cock of a gun, she looked to where the noise came from and saw three BD men and one BP woman pointing guns at her. The thugs then fired. Lilith quickly flew down to dodge, she then flew to the last man on her left and kicked him in the face with both feet knocking him out. Lilith then landed and ran to the other people in the group all of the while dodging bullets. Lilith then jumped in the air and round housed kicked BD man in front of her in the face. The BP woman tried to hold her at gun point but Lilith kicked the gun out of her hand, she then used her powers to throw the woman ten feet away. Lilith however didn't have time to celebrate because she found herself dodging bullets from the last BD man, after she flew up to dodge the last of the bullets that the man fired Lilith flew down at him and then slid on her feet forward on the ground stopping right in front of him, surprising the man. "I know, cool right. It was Kid Flash's idea, we were all watching DBZ when we saw Gohan do that. Kid then ended up saying how cool it would be if we did that. And he was right it is cool," Lilith said
When the explanation was over the man got out of his stupor and tried to shoot Lilith only for her to knock the gun out of his hands. Seeing that he doesn't have a gun the man tries to punch the psychic only for her to dodge left. The man didn't let up though he kept trying the punch her repeatedly however Lilith kept dodging the attacks with no problem, all of the while smirking at the man which just made the BD member even more furious. Finally after Lilith dodged the twentieth punch she decided to put the man out of his misery. Lilith side-kicked the man in the stomach making him hold his stomach in pain and taking a few steps back, Lilith then punched the man in the face knocking him out. "And that's how it's done," Lilith said, once again Lilith heard a familiar sound of a gun being reloaded, however Lilith stayed calm. She knew that she wasn't in any immediate danger. Lilith turned to the direction of the noise and saw all fifteen kids pointing guns at her, some with the intent to kill, others with hesitance.
"Don't move. I'm giving you one warning," a seventeen year old BP boy said.
"One warning good because I'm going you one last chance to leave this place and go home," Lilith said
"Pff, one last chance, girl we're the ones with the guns here," a fifteen year old BD girl said as she got ready to fire
"Um, you might want to look around you. I just took down your gangs while they were all shooting at me at the same time. Do you really think you can hit me," Lilith said
When Lilith said this, it got some of the kids nervous.
"I don't want to take you guys in. Just go home and live your lives. You don't need a gang to protect yourselves if anything you're even in more danger. Once your leaders think you're useless, they will kill you. I can guarantee you that," Lilith said
Some of the kids looked really thoughtful when Lilith said this.
"Go home, please," Lilith said
After Lilith said that seven of the fifteen kids put down their weapons and walked away from the battlefield much to their companion's surprise.
Lilith smiled at the kids as they walked away, she then closed her eyes, sighed then frowned. Once she opened her eyes, Lilith looked at the other eight and with a steady and firm voice she spoke, "So I suppose this means that neither of you are taking the chance nor leaving."
"We'd rather pump you full of lead," The seventeen year old boy said
Once that was said the eight kids were about to pull the triggers but Lilith was faster, she quickly used her telekinesis to pull the guns out the kids hands. Before the kids could do anything else Lilith threw them all against a crate knocking them out.
Lilith looked at the kids sadly, sighed then flew away to fight more gang members.
Another location on the port
A couple of BD and BP members were all shooting each other with some AK's, rifles, pistols, etc. All of a sudden an arrow came out of nowhere and embedded itself right in the middle of the gun fire, the arrow then emitted a smoke screen covering the area making the shooters cough.
A BP man was looking around the smoke screen trying to find his targets. What he didn't see was that a person snuck up behind him. The person tapped the man on the should, "Excuse me," the person said, the BP thug turned around getting ready to fire his gun but wasn't given the chance cause once he turned around the person punched him in the face knocking the thug out and onto the ground with a thud.
A BD thug heard the thud making him turn around to where the noise was with his gun read so he could shoot the person just in case it was a rival gang member. The thug however didn't see anything because the smoke was too thick, "Dam smoke I can't see anything," the BD thug said
"Maybe not but I can see you," a voice said from nowhere
Suddenly out of nowhere the thug was kicked in the stomach hard. The BD thug bent down holding is stomach in pain while gasping. The thug didn't have much time to do anything else because a knee smashed into his face and finally a punch in the face knocked him out.
"What the hell," A BD thugett said, when she saw movement she started shooting which caused all of the other gang members to start shooting.
Outside the smokescreen a person could hear gun shots, punches, kicks, and swooshing. When the smoke subsided ten gang members were on the ground unconscious, a few arrows next to some of them and in the middle of all of this was the Crimson Shooter himself. His arms down with his bow in his right hand. "Hm pathetic," Red Arrow said
Roy heard two clicks right behind him and with lightning speed, he took out two pointed arrows from his quiver, stringed them in his bow, turned around and shot the arrows. The arrows hit the guns out of the hands of two kids, a sixteen year old boy with short brown hair and a sixteen year old girl with red hair tied in a french-braid. Both kids had a look of fear in them when they looked at Red Arrow. When the archer saw the two he scowled at them.
"Um," the boy said by was cut off by Roy.
"You have two choices. Choice number one, you leave now, go home and forget that anything related to this happened which includes you two joining these stupid gangs. Choice two is," Red Arrow said, he then grabs an arrow, strings it in his bow, points it to a crate to his left and without looking, he releases the arrow. The arrow bounces off the crate and is redirected to the top of the crate three feet to Roy's right. The kids hear a grunt and a BP thug falls between the three making the kids jumped in surprise, "I send you two where I send him. It's your call," Red Arrow said
The two kids look at the thug on the ground, then at each other, and final Red Arrow, "We'll go home if you don't mind," the boy said with the girl nodding in agreement.
Roy nodded his head, "Good call," he said, when the kids left his sight Roy smiled happy that the kids took his warning and left. Roy's smile then faded and he ran back in the fight that was happening around him.
Another location of the port
Robin was taking down gang members left and right. A BD thirty year old threw a punch but Robin jumped over it and kicked the man in the face, once he landed Robin punched the man in the stomach and then sweep kicked the man, knocking the man on the ground. Robin sensed that something was coming his way and jumped forward, the fourteen year old turned around and saw three men and a woman all equipped with crowbars, pipes or knives, seeing what he was facing, the boy wonder reached in his utility belt and took out his retractable escrima sticks, they extended ready to be used. The four adults ran at Robin and he ran at them, the future protector of Blüdhaven jumped up in the air and hit the man and woman in their faces knocking them to the ground, he then turned only to block a pipe and knife with his escrima sticks, Robin pushed up pushing the two men back a bit, the boy wonder then ran at them swinging his weapons, he swung his right escrima stick and hit the man on the left in the hip, he then blocked a punch from the man to the right and side kicked the man in the stomach, then sweep kicked the man to the ground. Robin's full attention was now on the man with the knives.
"Come here little birdy," the man said, he soon regretted it because Robin ran up to him, jumped in the air and kicked him in the face, knocking the man out.
"Who's little now," Robin said
"Hey," a voice said from behind Robin, the boy wonder turned around to see ten BP gang members, "You're Robin the Boy Wonder, right," the bandana wearing member said, he looked to be about nineteen.
"Yeah, that's me," Robin said
"You put my dad in jail, I've been waiting to kill you for that," the bandana wearing man said as he and the other nine gang members advanced toward the teen, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
