Chapter XXVII: Secret Society.

Last Time.

"You stink of Thanagar." Icthultu said as she nodded. "I'm a Thanagarian." Several of Ichthultu forces came out of the ground as Ichthultu took Hawkgirl to talk. Naruto shot several arrows at the heads of the beings killing them as Fate attacked with bolts of light magic, while Grundy ripped apart the ones near him.

Kurama, Wonder Woman, And Superman.

Kurama jumped through most of the enemy forces as Wonder Woman, and Superman punched them before noticing that they were flying back inside. Suddenly, Aquaman bursts out of the stomach of one, and shoots a blast of lightning at one before yelling up. "I can plug up the portal with my Trident but I need something!"

"But what's big enough to..." Superman trailed off as he sees a large boulder floating near them. "That'll work." Wonder Woman, and Superman flew over as Kurama built up chakra in his mouth. "Bijūdama (Bijuu Bomb)." He shot a black ball of chakra at the enemies, and smirked as it exploded. As they plugged up the hole, they flew to the others, and saw Hawkgirl kneeling over a dead Grundy's body.

Later, they stood outside Metropolis, at a tombstone marked 'Solomon Grundy: Born on a Monday'. "I tried to make it according to human standards." Hawkgirl said as she looked at the grave. "He was happy at the end... I still don't understand why." She finished as Aquaman looked to her. "It's Faith Hawkgirl... You're not supposed to understand... You just have it."

He bowed his head before leaving with the others leaving Hawkgirl alone with Naruto, who wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He smiled at her before walking to the grave, and putting incense on the top of the grave, and clapped his hands together in prayer.

Now.

Metropolis; Naruto, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, And Green Lantern Night Time.

Supergirl held Naruto as she, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern flew above the City. Green Lantern puts a hand on his earpiece. "A guard over at the Tech. Lab says there's a robbery, sounds like a friend of ours is back in business." Green Lantern said before Martian Manhunter spoke up. "Shade..."

"How did you... Right I keep forgetting." Green Lantern replied as they flew to the Lab. As they got to the Lab. Supergirl dropped Naruto over a skylight, and flew to the other side. Naruto took out his bow, and turned on the laser sight. He ducked as a masked man took a swing at him, before turning on his feet, and swept kicked him.

Naruto punched him out before dodging bullets being fired from the rafters, and shot an arrow up. The arrow exploded in a multitude of lights, and Naruto jumped up to attack the men. "AAAHH!" Naruto turned around to see a man fly through a window from another room, and fell down to the ground.

Naruto jumped down, and caught the man right before he hit the ground. Supergirl few in, with her eyes glowing. "Whoa Supergirl..." Naruto stopped her by putting his hands on her shoulders. "You... Alright? You, and the others have been acting... Off lately." He said as her eyes returned to normal. "I'm fine Kage... It's not like he doesn't deserve it anyway."

"But that crosses the line... The same line that our counterparts crossed." Naruto said as she huffed. "Mine, and yours didn't." Naruto narrowed his eyes at her. "You almost did... We are not them, there's a chance we could cross that line." She glared at him until there heard the others yell.

Later, they met the others at a rooftop a few miles away. "What's the problem?" Superman asked as Green Lantern explained they haven't been acting like a team, and need to train in teamwork, not noticing a flying camera just behind them.

Shade, Unknown Location.

Shade was at first grateful for the ride earlier when needing to escape from the League members. But now he wasn't so sure now with the person walking him into a cave. The person in question was a tall red haired woman who's wearing a coat, glasses' and head wrap to top it all off. Once in the open area of the cave, Shade saw Copperhead taking out dummies. Volcanna setting fire to others, while Sinestro was breaking a statue of Green Lantern. A purple skinned man with light purple markings on his body was draining the energy of bats with his hands.

A woman with light blue skin, short dark blue hair, wearing a blue leotard, and white furred coat (Young Justice Killer Frost) and a man wearing a two toned armor, and helmet. Black on the right side and rust orange on the left with two eyeholes was leaning against a wall. (1.) Shade looked back to see the woman he came with take off her coat showing a short pink dress with one strap over her left shoulder.

"Trying to bring back the Injustice League?" He asked as she shook her head no. "No.. We're a society.. A Secret Society." Shade snorted at that. "Call it what you want it won't work.. I know I tried twice." A door opened up, and Shade looked back to see Grodd. "Well you know what they say... Third time's the charm."

Grodd took Shade up to a room as the others trained, and did team building exercises. "Trying to get them to trust each other huh?" Shade asked as Grodd had his hands behind his back. "Not the easiest with loners, sociopaths, psychos, and mercenaries." He went on to explain that they're not in it for the money.

"Parasite hates the Super cousins.. Sinestro hates the Green Lantern Corps. and swore a blood oath for their destruction. Copperhead jumped at the chance to face Kage.. Same with Deathstroke who also wants to face Batman... Although he is the only one who has a contract. Volcana is paying rent by working for me since she just broke out of prison."

"Giganta's devoted to me.. And Killer Frost just likes to kill." He finished as Shade looked to him. "And me? I suppose you've got that figured out too.." Grodd smirked before answering. "You're a master criminal Shade.. But you could be master of the World." He brought up footage of the League talking on the roof, and explained he's been studying them.

Later.

The Society flew to an island as Grodd explained they're robbing a rich man who owns the entire property. They landed, and saw a tall stonewall protecting the inner workings of the island from intruders. "Let me." Giganta said before grown taller. She struck the wall only to get shocked. She fell on her back as Grodd stared. "Next time look before you leap.. Frost."

Killer Frost froze the wall before Grodd looked to Sinestro who nodded, and used his ring to make a fist, and broke the wall. Grodd calmly walked forward as the others attacked. Killer Frost froze everyone in her path as Volcana burned everyone in hers. Deathstroke, and Copperhead sliced whoever came their way.

They ran inside where Grodd saw a cook in expensive alligator shoes running outside, and followed him. Once at the end of the dock they saw him at some distance away in a speedboat, and turned to Killer Frost. "Freeze the water." She froze the boat in place as Sinestro pulled the 'Chef' over. "Morgan Edge." Grodd said before taking him to a freezer with four red biohazard tanks are in. Once the others were inside, Killer Frost stayed back for a moment to flash freeze Morgan Edge before heading back towards the others.

"Open them." Giganta opened them, and mud came out to form a muscular humanoid. "Everyone I give you our final member... Clayface." They flew back to their hideout as Clayface looked around, and explained he's not like them, as he only wants to become normal again. "But you can be so much more."

Grodd said as he explained he turned Giganta human from a baby gorilla in Gorilla City, and he could turn him normal.

The Justice League Training Ground.

Superman was walking in the Western themed town attack cardboard cutouts of his villains. Naruto, Supergirl, Cheetah, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern watched from a building. "Good." Robots came up behind him as he talked to J'onn before Hawkgirl flew over, and attacked all but one. She flew to it just as the others yelled out.

BOOM!

The robot exploded sending her flying up to the others as Naruto caught her bridal style. "It was bobby trapped." Naruto said setting her down. "How could I know?" J'onn, and Superman flew up as Green Lantern spoke up. "Your teammates.. One's a psychic, and the other has x-ray vision." They continued going through exercises with Batman leaving early.

They finished with Green Lantern making a giant for the Team to fight together but Superman, and Supergirl took the brunt of the attacks. Naruto landed just as Superman argued he, and Supergirl can take the attacks so they don't have to causing Naruto to walk up to them. "But you can't make us rely on that.."

"There will be times when you two are not around, or the enemy has kryptonite, and we'll need to have faith in our own strength."

Later; Batman, Warehouse.

Batman dropped down from the rafters, and threw a shock batarang at Clayface, who was looking around. "Always trying to find a cure aren't you?" Clayface groaned as he tried to hold his form. "Where's Shade?" Clayface pointed to one of the pipes where steam came out, and have the Secret Society walk out.

Sinestro blasted the batarang off, and Clayface formed over to them. "Didn't think I came without back up, did you?" He asked as Batman stared at him. "Shame.. Wish I'd thought of that." He smirked as a door behind him blasted apart revealing the League, and Cheetah. "Oh wait.. I did."

Naruto pulled his bow out, and shot several arrows as the others faced off with one of the villains. Copper head jumped at him, and kicked the bow out of his hand. "Hello Kage." She greeted letting her tongue slip out. Naruto sighed before getting in a stance, and attacked. He glanced to see the others failing against the Society from bickering, or not fighting together.

He saw Cheetah fight against Deathstroke who fought with a Bo staff, and Supergirl fighting Volcana. "Aww I thought I'd hold your attention... It's rude to look at other women Kage." Copperhead said hitting Naruto in the chin. She kicked him in the stomach before jumping on his shoulder, and grabbed his arm.

She pulled on it, and twisted it before hearing Giganta order a retreat. "Til next time lover boy." She said bending down to kiss Naruto before jumping up, and disappeared. Naruto grabbed his bow, and walked over to his bickering team, and sighed. "SHUT UP!"

"We won't solve anything by bickering like toddlers... Even though we've been a team for a year... This is still new to us... Well the rest of you really since I was taught in the value of a team from a young age." Naruto finished as J'onn spoke up. "Ever since I landed here.. You took me in, and treated me like a family... But what's the use of a family if it diminutives us as individuals?"

"What are you saying?" Flash asked as J'onn looked up. "I'm saying I've survived the death of one family, and I'll survive the death of this one." He walked out as the others did too. "Guys come on..." Naruto said standing still with Cheetah as the others left. "Supergirl..." Naruto walked over, and put his hand on her shoulder. Only for her to roughly brush him off.

Naruto sighed as Cheetah walked to him. "They'll come around Naruto.. Let them cool off."

Smallville, Naruto And Cheetah.

Cheetah held on to Naruto as he drove his Motorcycle down the road, and up to his house. "Strange.. The lights are off.. Did Diana go to bed early?" He drove to the garage and parked the Motorcycle. As they got off, Naruto pushed a button by the door having the Motorcycle go under the concrete floor in a secret door, and walked inside.

"Diana? Kara?" He walked to the living room, and saw an unconscious Supergirl with a chunk of kryptonite on her. He ran to her just as Deathstroke dropped behind Cheetah, and knocked her out. Naruto turned around, and growled, only for something to stick him in his neck, and his vision blurred. The last thing he saw before blacking out was Copperhead holding a needle.

A few hours later, Naruto woke up to find himself tied to a bed wearing nothing but his boxers, and coat. "Hello lover." Naruto looked to see Copperhead wearing nothing but a brown leather bra, and thong. "C.. Copperhead?!" He yelled out as she swayed over to him. She straddled his waist, and traced circles on his chest.

"What the hell..." He stopped as she puts a finger on his lips, and smiled down. "Now, now.. No talking until that drug kicks in." Naruto blinked at that before speaking. "Drug?" She nodded before grinding on him. "Yes an.. Aphrodisiac..." He deadpanned at her for a moment. "You really wanted to have sex with me that bad?"

"Not sex.. Making love." She said as she moved to his boxers. "Is that tattoo new?" Naruto asked trying to buy time to get out. She smirked as she thrusted her chest out showing the tattoo along the top of her breasts, and up to her neck. (A/N: I forgot to add her tattoo in the earlier chapters, for anyone new look at her in Arkham: Origins.)

"Yeah... I just got it.. Like it? I think it draws attention to my chest." Naruto nodded before speaking up. "Yes.. It compliments a beauty like you." He said as she stopped for a moment, and looked down. "What?" She asked as he blinked. "You act like no one's called you beautiful." Copperhead looked down, and nodded. "Yeah.. Growing up when I got these changes... The men stayed away from me."

"Sorry to hear that... Their loss really... Truthfully you did freak me out at first but only because you reminded me of a man from my world that was like a snake themed Joker.. But now you remind me of.. His apprentice.. Right down to her flirty persona." He said grunting as he felt the drug kick in. "One day you'll find someone who'll love you.."

"What if that's you... You're the only man who hasn't treated me like a freak, or an assassin." She replied looking at his panting form. "Maybe, maybe not... Only time will tell. I think that's because I was in your shoes growing up also.. I was treated as an outcast for close to fifteen years... I was never adopted.."

"Hell I don't even know who took care of me until I was five, and had my own apartment." She smiled down before leaning, and kissed him. He groaned again as she pulled back, unclipped her bra, and threw it aside.

Secret Society An Hour Later.

Grodd looked at the heroes in containment tubes with Martian Manhunter frozen in his before sighing. He walked over to a table, and picked up a cell phone. He dialed Copperhead, and when she answered, he heard soft groaning, and rhythmic squeaking. "Copperhead.. Did you get Kage?"

"Yeah.. Had to use a deadlier dosage... So had... To bring him... To one of my safe houses.. And get the antidote... You didn't want him killed right away though.. I'll need you to pick us up.. At a rendezvous point... before the show..." She replied holding in moans. "You alright?" He asked noticing she stopped after a few words while talking. "Yeah.. He woke up.. Moments ago...Fought again... It took... More out of me.." He nodded before hanging up. "Let's go."

Superbowl XXXVII Halftime.

Later, The Society landed in a stadium filled with people, and looked at he crowd. "Hello everyone..." Grodd said through a microphone before continuing. "We've come here today because this is where the strong routinely beat the weak.. You so called 'Higher Primates' revel in that... But outside these walls, you do everything to shackle the mighty, and keep them from fulfilling their destiny."

As he talked, Sinestro attacked any security from getting to them as a slightly sweaty Copperhead brought out a remote, and brought the Justice League up. "Here's your heroes.. Who break every law of nature by coddling the weak. We say it's time for a new order.. But that can't arrive until the old one... Departs... Ready for your close up Mr. Hagen?"

Clayface smirked, and reached for the controls beside him. Only to phase through, and break it releasing the heroes, and turned into J'onn. "You froze the wrong one!" The frozen 'J'onn' fell off, and broke. Only to reform into Clayface. Naruto, and the others ran to the villains, and he jumped to Deathstroke as Supergirl flew to Volcana, and Cheetah went to Copperhead.

Deathstroke jumped up with his staff, and attacked Naruto multiple times. Naruto blocked each one with his arms before grabbing the staff, and kicked him away. "I always wanted to test you Kage." Naruto raised an eyebrow as he glanced to see the others doing better in their fights then last time. "Really? I'm touched."

Naruto charged at him, and delivered multiple punches, and hits him in the stomach before punching him in his helmet knocking it off. Naruto looked at the greying hair of the Deathstroke before blinking. "Slade Wilson? I heard you became a Mercenary.." Slade took out a katana, and charged at Naruto.

Only for Naruto to disappear, and reappear behind him with a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) in his hand. "Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)." Slade was sent flying over to a downed Sinestro, Volcana, and Shade just as Cheetah flipped Copperhead over her shoulder, and knocked her out.

Naruto turned to see Clayface explode with fireworks as Grodd ran away. Superman flew over, and Grodd attacked him. "Supergirl now!" Naruto yelled as she flew over, and punched Grodd through the field goal.

Naruto walked to the others who were looking down. "Guys... I know we all said things we shouldn't have... But like I said being on a team is new to you.. You're either used to fighting alone.. or with a partner you fought with for years. It will take time to trust each other, and rely on the others." Naruto said looking at each one.

"You have anyone you couldn't work with?" Supergirl asked as Naruto walked forward. "Yes... He drove his hand through my chest once.." Naruto said before looking back. "Best to get past this, and move on."

To Be Continued.
