RedHood323: That is what we where going for
Korog the Oversoul: Okay. Dude, listen. We are ALL for roll play in our review section. HOWEVER! You are doing the thing WE HATE, you are basically writing YOUR OWN fanfiction in OUR review section!
Now, let me be clear. You are using like fifteen, or more, characters and you add more every review. MOST OF WHICH being your original characters. And we have NO CONTEXT to who these characters are OR their backstories!
So we CAN NOT respond to your comments because we have NO IDEA WHAT YOUR CHARACTERS ARE SAYING as we are trying to work our WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON!
So... again... We are fine with your characters but limit it to, like, three or four characters. And TRY and separate the lines when characters are talking so we know who's talking. Like:
1: Hi
2: Hey man, how are you?
1: I'm fine. What are you guys up to?
3: Not much
2: Yeah, not much
See what I mean? Because all of your reviews so far have been nothing but massive blocks of text I can not understand because of how densely packed they are
B. E. A. T. N: No to the looks. But if you want to homage them with the personalities and names? Go ahead.
Skull Flame: Tim is a BETTER detective than even Bruce, especially after he was nurtured by Bruce. And, also, that is his origin, that he worked out Bruce's identity.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: By... not kissing Ivy? Because she is JUST living there, not sleeping with/dating Bruce?
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
GriffonicTobias: Yes, yes they are
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yes, Tim's in the story now. And specialised inoculations, Ivy gave Bruce and the Bat-Family the serum she gave Harley in BTAS.
Skull Flame: Yeah, she's smart enough to work there. Pre-Reboots, Tim was always the better detective.
RedHood323: Well, that's when you call parents at work.
Zanotronxl:
1: Oh, you sweet summer child.
2 & 3: Yes, they're getting better.
4: Yes and it's adorable.
5: Yep.
6 & 7: Eh, we'll see.
8: Of course it is, Nekomimi girls are popular AF.
9: That's up to Grey.
10: No thanks, I like my ears NOT bleeding from the protag's constant screaming
11: Wow, that's...a tough one. Shield Hero or Slime are recent ones...But I used to watch Pokemon and OG Digimon. There's a lot of anime I've watched.
12: Cheers.

James' Harem 2
Chapter 32: Markovia Terror Part 1 Gathering
Terra yawned as she walked through the Tower, entering the living room... where the TV was on, showing a news report
"We bring you this breaking news report. The country of Markovia is crowning its new king." The newscaster spoke
"Markovia?" Tara gasped as she woke up hearing that.
"Our correspondent is on the scene." The newscaster spoke. The scene suddenly changed, showing a brunette in red garb
"Markovia? Why does that sound familiar?" James commented, everyone watching TV
"It's where I was born." Tara spoke up, grabbing their attention.
"Sorry/excuse me/Tara?" The Titans turned around and looked behind them.
"Good morning." James followed up.
"Welcome, the King of Markovia, Gregor Markov!" the news announcer said
"Gregor?" Tara asked
The Titans blinked in shock at that as they looked back and saw a young man, he couldn't have been older than 20; short and neatly trimmed brown hair, wearing a regal red jacket with golden trim, gold buttons, a dark blue sash over his left shoulder that looped around his back, black trousers and blue shoes; he had strong features but he looked kind and approachable, he had the air of a king about him.
"That's your brother?" James asked
"Yes, my older brother Gregor." Tara nodded as she saw him for the first time in...years.
James felt guilty, having never looked into Tara's family 'Jeez, what have I done?' He thought guiltily and rubbed his face.
"What happened to my parents?" Tara whispered
"What's that?" Variant said, pointing out of the window... At a flouting chunk of rock
"That's a floating hunk of-" Garfield began to answer casually before he was interrupted.
"MOVE!" Dick shouted
Everyone ducked behind whatever they could find, preparing for the attack and bracing themselves... And nothing happened
"Tara!" A voice called from outside, not in a demanding way, but in a 'I'm looking for someone' way. "Tara, are you in there?"
"That voice...Brion?" Tara asked in shock.
"Brion?" James asked
"BRION!" Tara ran to the window and opened it, calling to the person.
"TARA!" The voice responded and appeared from behind the boulder. It was a brown-haired man, slightly more muscular...and looked identical to the king of Markovia. He was wearing a strange light and dark green uniform, the rock flouting towards the open window. Tara backed up and let the figure leap into the Titan's tower and was fully revealed, he looked to be a half-foot higher than the Titans and nearly a foot higher than Tara "I found you!" Brion smiled and hugged Tara, who hugged back happily.
"It-it's good to see you." She smiled and was shocked to see him.
"Um...Tara? Explain please?" Kori asked
"Oh, oh right." Tara broke the hug and began introductions. "Brion, these are the Titans. Guys, this is my older brother, Brion. Brother of the King."
"But he's..." Garfield blinked, pointing at Brion and the TV with Gregor
"I am Gregor's twin brother, the younger one." Brion greeted "I have been looking for Tara since she disappeared... Our brother is in danger."
"What? But-? He's on the news." Tara answered, pointing to the TV, showing their brother.
"I've uncovered a plot. One that would lead to his death." he frowned
"What? Who? Who's going to kill him?" Tara asked in a panic.
"I don't know, whoever is doing this has covered their tracks." Brion answered "Tara... I need your help... I need you to come home."
"I...I-" Tara began to answer but James interrupted.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Not that we don't WANT to help, but MAYBE you can give us a heads up before we go to a country where... Pretty sure if we step foot, we'll spark an international incident." James commented
"Tara is the princess! She has been missing for six years since she ran away!" Brion snapped "And I am the Prince! We can act without any restrictions! Same with anyone we take with us, being given royal immunity! Only the king may revoke these rights!"
"...How did you not know that?" Garfield whispered
"Different kingdoms, different rules, give me a break, Garfield." James whispered back.
"Okay, okay. Calm down. I'm sure we'll help." Dick answered
"Brion. What happened to our parents?" Tara whispered
Brion frowned, looking at the floor when she said that. "They...they were murdered." He solemnly answered "Assassinated. I was too late. It was last year... And their murder is connected to the plot against our brother!"
Tara almost collapsed as she heard that; who would do that? Murder their parents... all to kill their brother? To what end?
"I'm going." James spoke up
"James..." Tara whispered
"Okay. James will lead this team." Dick nodded "Choose who you want with you." he instructed
"Hmm." James frowned "I guess Rose would be a good call." James commented
"I'll get my blades." Rose answered.
"And who else? We don't want a lot of casualties." Brion answered
James looked at all the Titans, wanting a small team but would be useful "I think Jinx, we'll need all the luck we can get." James finished up.
"Right." she nodded
"Get what you need and let's go!" Brion snapped
"Okay, okay. We're going." James rolled his eyes. 'Know I know why Tara didn't tell us about you.'
"Brion, be nice. Please." Tara asked her brother especially as she saw steam raising from his body. Her eyes widened as she saw it; what was the extent of his power, how different were their powers?!
"I. Will try." He answered
"Cass, Duela, we should get going." Dick added as he looked at the clock
"Okay." Cass nodded and began to leave.
"Where're you going?" Kori asked
"To visit Red Arrow." Dick smiled
"Oh, okay. Have fun." Kom answered
"Will do." Duela responded
"Are you guys serious?!" Brion snapped
"We aren't all going on this mission." Duela said "We also have lives of our own and my fiance has a right to visit his goddaughter."
"I...This is-!" Brion groaned and more steam came off him.
"Brion! Please." Duela spoke
"Alright, I'm ready." Rose brought her swords and a travel pack ready.
"I'm good." Jinx followed up, carrying her own.
"Let's go." James nodded
"Fin-...Thank you." Brion answered. "I assume you've got means of transportation?"
*time skip*
Brion was screaming his head off as the Titan Jet zoomed through the skies "He's not used to this; is he?" Jinx asked her boyfriend.
"Well, WE weren't the first time round." James responded. He looked at Tara and frowned, worried for her. He wanted to talk to her but...He was driving. And he didn't know what to say
"Want me to drive?" Jinx asked, seeing how worried he looked
"Please." he nodded softly. Jinx took the controls and walked over to Tara and sat next to her, hoping he'd find the words to say. He didn't know what to say... But her hand instantly grabbed his and squeezed tightly. He nodded and let her squeeze as hard as she wanted; this action was just reassuring for her.
He brought their clasped hands up and kissed her knuckles, assuring her he was there for her
*with the Grayson's*
"Okay, ready to meet cousin Lian?" Dick asked as he, Duela and Cass were dressed casually. Dick in a blue baseball cap, a smart blue button up shirt and some stylish jeans and some combat boots
Duela wore a green waistcoat over a white tee-shirt, some purple skinny jeans and a set of black Mary Jane shows
Cass was wearing a black knee length skirt with no sleeves over some shorts and a grey skirt, a black leather biker jacket, combat boots and a necklace that Bart had bought her
Cass nodded as they waited outside before he knocked.
"Coming." A man's voice spoke and answered the door. "Hey, you made it." Opening the door was a tall buff red haired man with a slight beard. The man smiled as he saw them. He was wearing a white shirt with blue lounge trousers and socks; he looked scary but was actually friendly.
"Good to see you, man." Dick smiled, shaking his hand before the two me pulled each other into a hug and laughed, slapping each other's backs lightly
"I see you've brought your family." The man answered
"Yeah; Roy, this is Duela and Cassandra. Duela, Cass, this is Roy." Dick introduced them.
"I think you use to hammer me in the face a few times when you were calling yourself the clowns daughter." Roy laughed
Duela chuckled nervously at that. "Yeah...Sorry about that."
"Water under the bridge. Come on in." Roy offered "Oh! And this is the little silent Ninja daughter that Dickie's been gushing about since he adopted her?" Roy grinned at Cassandra
"I-I haven't been 'gushing'!" Dick double took
Cass blinked and looked at her father
"Oh yeah, you have. Sending me pictures of you with Duela and her all the time." Roy teased, getting his phone out.
"Roy! Come on!" He snapped.
"You never told me that." Duela smirked.
"And then whenever you visit you don't shut up about her." Roy added
"Oh REALLY?" Duela smiled, she was just handed a loaded gun of embarrassment on Dick.
"Daddy? Are they here?" A girl's voice called out
"Yeah Lian! Uncle Dick and his family are here!" Roy called with a wide smile. Coming with a bounding step was Roy's daughter.
Cass' eyes widened at the girl. She... Was... ADORABLE!
She was about 5 years old, brown hair, grey eyes, cute as a button, in a red dress and white socks, holding a teddy bear in her hands.
"Uncle Dick!" the little girl cheered
"Lian! How're you doing?" Dick smiled, forgetting his embarrassment and head-patted the young girl before she hugged him. She giggled and smiled happily, her eyes sparkling
'C-Cute.' Cass thought as she saw her. She could read her body like an open book. Lian was a happy, joyful child. Excited to see her father, to see THEM. The girl was a siren of joy, excitement and innocent
"No love for your 'Aunty Duela'?" Duela asked, opening her arms to her and the girl hid behind Dick "Wh-what's wrong? Am I scary?" Duela frowned as she thought she was trying to be open.
"Sorry, new people." Roy chuckled softly as he knelt down next to Lian
"Oh." Duela nodded and understood.
"This is Uncle Dick's fiance and daughter. Remember the pictures he sent?" Roy explained
"The funny ones?" Lian asked innocently.
...
"Yes the funny one." Roy laughed, holding his gut lightly
"Et Tu, Lian?" Dick groaned
Lian stepped out from behind her uncle, looking at Duela. Lian held her little teddy because she was afraid of her, this WAS a stranger to her, even though her uncle sent many...MANY photos "Hi." she mumbled into her bear
"Hi there." Duela knelt down, looking at Lian from her eye level. "That's a very nice bear."
"He's Speedy." she nodded
"'Speedy's a nice name." Duela answered, trying to connect with he with Roy smiling proudly. He knew why she named him that.
"So; inside?" Roy offered
"Sure." Dick nodded
As they headed inside, they saw some colouring books and crayons on the floor, pillows and cushions built as a fort, looks like Roy was playing with Lian.
"We interrupt something?" Duela joked with a kind smile
"Who?" Cassandra asked as she pointed at a picture on the wall. On the wall was a picture of a beautiful woman with long black hair, in a green costume.
"My mummy." Lian answered simply, looking at it.
"Jade?" Dick asked Roy with a whispered "You still have her pictures up?"
Roy nodded. "Lian didn't want to forget her face." He whispered back.
"Huh?" Duela blinked
"Hey, Lian, why don't you go and show Cassandra your fort?" Roy grinned
"Okay." Lian nodded and went over to show Cassandra the fort.
"Who's Jade?" Duela whispered as the three were on their own.
"Ever hear of a woman called Cheshire?" Dick asked
Duela blinked in shock. "CHES-? Cheshire? Isn't she a deadly assassin?"
"She's Lian's mother." Roy nodded, a nostalgic sigh leaving his lips
Duela's jaw almost dropped to the floor in terror. "How?" Duela could only muster that word.
"We banged?" Roy shrugged and was elbowed in the gut by a chuckling Dick
"Yeah I GUESSED but...She's a killer. You aren't." Duela responded
"YOU used chilli paint bombs in Jump when we first met." Dick answered
"Those weren't lethal!" she argued
"She and I met up a few times while I worked as a hero." Roy shrugged "Lot's of sexual tension... and we did it. We tried to make it work... and we got Lian."
"And...It didn't work out?" Duela asked
"Lian is worth it though." Roy answered "We divorced, partially because she could not give up her life."
"You wanted a family, she wanted to kill people?" Duela darkly joked.
"Basically." Roy nodded, agreeing that it WAS what he wanted "But, as I said, Lian is amazing." he said, looking at the picture
*elsewhere*
We arrive in a cave, dimly lit except for the small lights that were strewn thinly about; hiding the features of those who were there.
One figure was sat on a rock, looking at a picture softly. It was folded down the centre and sides; like it was folded and unfolded into twice over multiple times. It was a picture of a young girl with brown hair and in a red dress, holding a new teddybear from an open box. On the girls head was a yellow 'robin hood' cap.
"What have you got there?" a rough voice asked, the figure quickly refolding it
"Nothing you need to be concerned about." The woman answered, putting it away into a green tunic
"Come on, we're only curious." another voice mocked
The woman grabbed a large curved blade and pointed it at the other voice. "Try it, and even IF you're made of mud, I'll cut your balls off."
"Enough you three." a third male voice snapped, DEATHSTROKE walking into view
The woman sheathed the blade and turned to him. "Sorry, Deathstroke."
"Sorry boss." the two others grumbled
"We've got a job to do." Deathstroke continued. "From the information we've been given, the new king will be here." "Now everyone, get ready."
*with the Titans*
James, Jinx and Terra were off the Titan Jet and Brion was recovering from jet-lag and having an upset stomach. Rose shook her head at the prince, scoffing "Is he a weak traveler?" Rose asked as she stepped off the plane.
"He never really liked flying." Tara shrugged
"Ah...Well, it just takes some getting used to." Rose reassured and patted his back.
"This place is...lush. It's really nice, Terra." Jinx commented
The blonde nodded, looking around and biting her lip "What's wrong, Terra?" He asked as he felt her hand tighten on his.
"I haven't been here... for six, nearly seven, years." she whispered "Since I ran away." He kissed her shoulder gently, one soft and simple kiss. Tara blushed and smiled gently at this, having him be here was helping.
"Ptoo! Urgh...Sorry. We should get going." Brion spoke. The group nodded and the group walked away, entering the castle
"You think we'll be welcomed?" Jinx asked
"You're with me, don't worry." Brion answered
*time skip*
We are now inside the castle of Markovia, where the new king Gregor was in his bedroom and looking out his window, seeing his new kingdom. He felt the immense responsibility that came with it. He had to be a good king. Suddenly the doors opened and the Titan's walked inside
"Your Highness, your brother has returned." Guards spoke as they entered.
"My bro-Tara?" Gregor asked as he turned around and looked in shock
"Hi Gregor." Terra whispered, taking the goggles off her head. Gregor walked forward in awe, seeing his little sister after so long...and gave her a hug. He grabbed her and held her tightly, refusing to let go. Tara hugged back, her face close between his neck and his shoulder.
"Your Highness." James spoke respectfully to him
"Who are you?" Gregor asked
"I'm James Tennyson, leader of this team and member of the Titans." James answered.
'And he's also a prince.' Jinx thought, wanting to say something, but wasn't sure how to act around a KING.
"He's my boyfriend." Tara nodded
"A mere person dating a-" Brion began to glare
"I'm actually a king. Not a 'Mere person', Brion." James answered. "Though I don't dress like one, I AM a king."
"You are?" Rose and Jinx blinked
"He is married to Kom and Kori, who are queen's." Tara reminded and whispered
"...Honestly, I forgot they WERE queens." Rose answered.
"Oops. Yeah, even though I went to the wedding." Jinx admitted
"Well, King James. Thank you for finding my sister. But I'm afraid that this is short-lived. There is a dark and vile problem in my kingdom." Gregor respectfully looked at James and then spoke solemnly. The two royals shook hands, James instantly in king mode
"Then we're here to help. Whatever you need." James answered.
"Look out!" Rose suddenly yelled, throwing her sword. The sword zoomed through the air... Blocking a bullet that nearly hit Gregor's face
"GREGOR!" Brion called out and rushed to the window, raising a large pile of earth to block it.
Terra pulled her brother to the floor to protect him. "What was that?" Terra panicked.
"Sniper. Someone almost killed him!" Rose answered as her good eye looked at the window, she'd only noticed thanks to her training
"Good eye you got, girly." one of the guards suddenly said, in very clear English and an American accent. Rose clocked onto this and turned her blade to the guard.
"Rose! What're you-?" Terra asked in shock
"This guy's accent. He's not from here." She answered.
The man just started to laugh as his body began to deform, almost... Melt
BOOM!
And then the wall exploded as another figure entered. It was a large black armoured man, with...a green flaming skull?!
"What on Earth?" Gregor gasped
"TERRA, GO!" James called out transforming into an alien. He had transformed into his version of an evolved NumberSapian, his mother EightEight's species
STANDING BY! COMPLETE!
"What the f-?" The skull headed man gasped before-
BOOM!
He was exploded out of the room and flung out into the royal gardens.
As the smoke cleared James was revealed. A heavily but sleek armoured human; the armour was mainly black with yellow outline circuitry, his eyes were yellow on a black helmet, a dark grey reinforced breastplate, shin guards and arm bracers with a miniature plasma cannon in them both. His shoulders were protected with hidden weapons on ALL his person. The group looked in shock as they saw James, he had just transformed into an alien hero they had never seen before. "Hmm... FiveFiveFive, ready for battle." James said as he looked at himself, quickly naming his new form 'What is wrong with my Matrix though? I need to get this looked into.'
"My my, you look tough." a seductive female voice commented
"Who's there?" James asked as he turned and pointed to the voice.
"Brother, come on." Terra spoke before their path was blocked ...by mud? No. A WALL of mud! And the guard was gone!
James span around and saw a green clad woman leaning against the wall "Who are you?" James asked, his scanners searched the room for anyone else.
"Names Cheshire." she said, coming into view. She was dressed in a green and black costume that covered up to her neck, but her face was covered by a white mask with red triangle markings that looked like whiskers.
"Well, nice to meet you." He answered activating a stun gun in his weapons from his thoughts.
Terra and Brion surrounded themselves and their brother to protect themselves and drilled under the room to escape.
"No you-! Huh?" The mud began to speak, only for Jinx to stop him with her luck manipulation and his body went limp, collapsing for a moment
"Nope, not happening. Whatever you're doing." Jinx answered.
James shot out a stun dart at Cheshire, hoping to knock her out, but as per the norm of this universe, she was an expert martial artist. There where way too many of those.
Luckily this form was able to match those skills
"I'll handle mud-man. You handle Cheshire." Jinx reassured him
"The name is 'Clay Face'!" The mud reformed
"...like THAT'S any better." She rolled her eyes
"I'll handle skull-boy." Rose followed up and leapt into the garden.
"I'm Atomic Skull, you bitch!" the body builder snapped as he punched her
"ROSE!" Jinx called out.
"RARGH!" James shouted and fought Cheshire. He fought against the woman skilfully, her outfit being rather unique and revealing 'Damn it! Why are costumes so revealing over practicality?' He thought as he fought Cheshire.
"I've got to go help." Terra spoke
"Tara, no! We've only got you back!" Brion answered.
"They're my family too, Brion!" She answered. "Protect Gregor."
James danced around the woman's strikes, this Cheshire lady being different. She wore black mid-thigh high cloth leggings/stockings, a tight black shirt with in built gloves that had slightly clawed fingers. On top of that she wore a green tunic that didn't cover her arms and only covered a few inches down her thighs, a light green sash around her waist with a black belt atop that. Her face was surrounded by a massive black mane of hair which, with her mask, almost made her look like a lion. Her skin, from the gaps of skin he could see from her thighs and small holes her arms had on the underside of her upper arms, had an olive skin tone to it. He couldn't see her face but this Cheshire had a real sexy body and was determined
'He's fierce, strong... pushing me to adapt!' Cheshire thought as she fought James, throwing a punch only to be blocked and retaliated, hitting her in the side. He was using strange combat techniques she had never seen before, strange weapons she had never seen before and she was intrigued. She wanted to know more, Get to fight and train more with him. A person like this, being pushed to the limit and more...she felt a huge thrill "Hmmm~, you are real skilled." Cheshire purred as she raised her arms, blocking a kick he threw and pushing close to him
"Thanks, you to." James nodded, a blade extending from his wrist as he slashed at her
Outside Rose snarled as she jumped around, slashing with her sword "Honestly? What do you expect to do with those? I'm a walking radioactive man!" Atomic Skull degraded her.
"So?" Rose frowned, shooting the guy in his face
"ARGH! FUCK!" He shouted, even IF he was a walking radioactive person, getting shot at still hurt. "Little BITCH!" And shot a blast at Rose. Rose back flipped away, using her sword to slap the blast away "Oh bull-SHIT! How did you do that?" Atomic Skull snapped as he saw that, his sight getting better.
"Same way I got that on you." she added, pointing at his chest
"Huh?" Atomic Skull looked down and saw a blinking light. "Ah, come on." He groaned
BOOM!
Jinx was putting her acrobatics to work, jumping around and dodging Clayface while using her back luck powers to make anything and everything hit him "Urgh! What is WITH you? Why can't I GET you?" Clayface shouted
"You could say I am lucky." she joked. ClayFace snarled and shot out a large clump of clay at Jinx...but blocked by a large wall of earth that was caused by Terra.
"Don't. Touch. My girlfriend." Tara ordered, snarling
"Thank's Tara." Jinx winked before she jumped onto the wall and shot a blast of pink magic at the clay person. Clayface melted as Jinx's power was making his body unstable, even more so than usual.
James continued his battle with Cheshire, the green clad woman working faster and faster as she adapted to his fighting style "This is a really unique fighting style you've got." Cheshire complimented as she danced around James' strikes "Hmm~ Your skills are so sexy."
"Tetramand martial arts, Appoplexian wrestling, Numbersapian judo and several other outer-planet styles. Alongside a few classic fighting styles." James commented, shooting several small shots from his shoulder cannons. Cheshire leapt back, acrobatically backflipping to dodge the shot, though she DID get grazed by the cannon blasts, making her tumble 'I might have to turn down the 'sexy' I'm getting more women than dad.' James thought to himself.
"What would you say if I told you that this fight was getting me wet?" she taunted, lying but playing on her sex appeal
"...I'd say we BOTH need therapy." James quipped
"The kind of therapy that has me screaming my heart out?" she asked as she approached him
"...What is it with villainesses trying to jump me?" James groaned, recalling his first time with Jinx.
"Maybe you've got that manly charm?" she asked as she ran her fingers over FiveFiveFive's chest... And then tried to slash at him with her bladed fingernails
SHRIIIIIIIEK!
...
"Metal... Right..." she blinked, frowning as she saw her fingernails just cutting away some of the paint from his chest armour
"ALIEN. Metal." He clarified and wrapped her up with an energy net. Suddenly a series of flashbangs hit the floor and blinded the group, as in like four dozen flashbangs "Argh! God, JUST what I need!" James grunted. His eyes opened slowly, seeing both Jinx and Terra reacting the same... while Clayface and Cheshire where gone
"Jinx. Terra? What happened?" James grunted, his eyes coming back to normal.
"No idea." Terra admitted angrily
"Where're your brothers? Where's Rose?" James asked
...
"Shit!" Jinx shouted
"Brion is with Gregor, they should be safe." Terra followed up.
"And Rose?" Jinx asked
*outside*
Rose looked in shock as Clayface and Cheshire emerged from the castle... alongside her father "D-Dad?" Rose looked on as she saw him.
"Rose?" He blinked
"What're you-?" They asked before they were interrupted
"Wait, she's your KID?" Atomic Skull called out. "OW!" And was punched in the face.
"That's my girl." he smiled
"Dad. What. The actual hell. Are you DOING here?" Rose inquired.
"I'm on a job. What are you doing here?" he asked, resting a sniper rifle on his shoulder
"Helping someone and apparently stopping you from doing YOUR job." She answered.
"...I think this is a father daughter thing going on, so we'll head out. RIGHT?" Cheshire spoke up and glared at her 'co-workers'
"I don't drop a contract." Slade said to her while looking at his daughter "We are retreating since you three failed the backup plan. We need to restrategies." he turned around, looking away from Rose "I assume you stopped my shot?" he asked his daughter as the four walked away
"Yeah. I did." Rose nodded and answered simply.
"That's my girl." he praised before he and his team disappeared into the tree line
Rose panted heavily, before falling to her knees in shock. She stood her ground and deflected a round from her father. She hadn't known it at the time... but she was so proud of herself right then
