And Injustice For All 2
Chapter 7: Contingency
Chris and Melody teleported to the alternate universe. They find themselves in Stryker's island. It was recently upgraded into one of the most advanced prison facilities ever built. One block holds the disgraced Regime heroes and their supporters. And the other block entirely dedicated to the confinement of Superman. But the red sun energy used to control him has been shut off. Superman leaps from his cell after breaking the glass with his fist. He is a prisoner no more.
Outside, Chris and Melody covered themselves behind the wall, armed with IMI Tavor TAR-21 bullpup rifles. They are wearing their HW uniforms with technologically advanced body armor. They have wristbands designed by the Homefront Warriors with a cloaking system, a personal radar, hacking device, and retractable shields.. Chris used a pair of binoculars to survey the situation.
"There's not a lot of snipers," said Chris.
"Chris, I'm getting a signal." Melody sees Batman on her radar. "Is that Batman?"
"Warden Turpin, we have movement on the ground," said one of the tower guards armed with a Colt M4A1.
"Lock the place down. Guard the entrance. Tower guards, if it's moving on the ground, shoot it!"
"Wait! It looks like... it's Batman!'
"Batman! Are you on coms? Can you confirm you're on the ground? I'm teleporting to Cellblock A."
"Cellblock A?" Melody was using her comm device to hear the ruckus.
"Take them," said Fake Batman.
The sniper shot down a tower guard with a Barrett M107A1.
"Okay, let's go make trouble."
Melody was shocked. Batman is now causing trouble. "This can't be Batman..."
"Let's head inside Cellblock A. Stealth is of the essence."
"Good thing we got suppressors."
Chris nodded in agreement and they equip their Tavors with suppressors and proceeded to Cellblock A. Inside...
"Guard the perimeter," said the real Batman. "Help Turpin and the guard. Someone will be coming for Superman. Keep them out."
"Bruce, there are two soldiers. One male and one female," said Dinah.
"Who are they?" asked Batgirl.
"Their uniforms... I know him," said Batman. "He is Chris Jones of the Homefront Warriors in his universe. What is he doing here? And who is that woman with him?"
"Probably to free Superman. I can't let you face Superman alone."
"Batgirl and I have 23 cascading contingencies in place for Superman's escape."
"The most effective was automatically implemented the moment the red sun lamps in Superman's cell dropped by a single percentage point."
"And believe me, I won't be alone."
Outside, Killer Croc was about to kill a guard until he was shot in the left shoulder by a arrow, courtesy of Green Arrow. Then Black Canary stunned Croc with a Canary Cry while Batgirl quickly took him down
"Stay down and stop trying eat people, or the next arrow goes somewhere far more creative," said Arrow..
"We know you're being controlled. We're will inform to help. Just tell us who you're working for and...'
Before Batgirl could finish her sentence, a bullet went through Arrow's now. It was Deadshot, armed with two Sphinx 3000s. "Heard you were dead.
"That's greatly exaggerated."
"Until it's confirmed."
"Technically, I am dead. It's complicated."
"Well, I'd make you uncomplicatedly dead right now, but I'm sure the guy in charge wants a word with you. You're the kind of bleeding heart who'll totally eat up his crusade. You two, on the other hand..."
Deadshot was smacked in the back of his head by Harley. She then sees Arrow.
"Y...you died."
She then sees Canary.
"And you were gone."
She hugs them both.
"What the hell is happening?" Arrow was hopelessly confused.
Back inside, Chris and Melody were getting close to the cell. They found Batman conversating with Superman. They took cover by the computers and used their comm systems to listen in.
"That's far enough, Clark. Climb back to your cell!"
"Move!"
"No. We fought too hard and lost too much. Do you honestly believe I wouldn't have plans in place for eventuality? Last chance. Listen to that little voice inside your head, the one that says "stop."
"My conscience is clear, Bruce."
I'm not talking about your conscience. Listen carefully."
"Stop."
"What's that?"
*What we practiced. We have this contingency down to 3.5 seconds. That's how long it takes to get The Atom into your brain."
"I said stop."
Inside Superman's brain was a man in his red and blue costume almost looking like Captain America. This is The Atom.
*Or I'll stop you. Do you honestly think we'd let you walk out of here? We'd sooner have you never walking again."
