Earth - New York City

It was a few hours after the attempt at the bank that the remaining criminals were walking down an unknown ally way trying to get to their contactors base. Jack was simply walking though the alleyway while Shocker and Shriek were lagging behind him, still injured after their fight with Spider Man.

Jack was waiting for them, he just kept going, not keeping track of them. "Hey boss...can you...wait up a bit?" Shocker asked in pain. "If you can't catch up with then you'll fall down and succumb to your injuries or get caught by the cops or Spider Man. Your choice, but either way it isn't my concern" Jack said with his demonic voice.

"Dick" Shock grunted quietly. Shriek asked Jack "Hey boss, how come we had to leave Boomer and Molten behind?"

"Because, they were weak and besides our paying friend expected only a few of us were going to get left behind. I was given the opportunity to choose which. I choose you two because of your power. Boomerang was hot headed and Molten Man was arrogant. I didn't think they were worth the trouble and I was right"

Shocker and Shriek was stunted by the answer he gave them. "Man, no wonder. But the boss is going to brag about his warnings about the bug" Shriek with annoyance when mentioning the name. "He can whine all he want's Shriek. Unlike him I am calm about fighting an opponent. Still, I found Spider Man to be quite humorous"

Shocker and Shriek looked at each other in confusion. "Humorous, you mean annoying as hell." Shocker gruffed with a little bit of anger. "He doesn't shut his trap and he always as his little buddies along with him and he always get the last laugh" Shriek said in frustration as she listed of the list of things she hated about him. Jack just chuckled in amusement.

"Something funny?." Shocker said while holding his arm. "Yes actually, you two and quite a lot of others seem to do a lot of complaining about him more than you do trying to kill him."

"You haven't met before until today. If you knew how hard it was to catch the little prick you would get pissed of as well" Shriek commented on. "Still, When we head for the meeting place we'll devise a plan to at least let's say bring him down a bit with a little violence or even a little dismemberment"

"You know, sometimes I think your head is full of some sick shit"

"I had a rough childhood, hell, who hasn't in this city" Jack asked with a little sarcasm in his voice. Shocker was wondering something since the bank. "How come you were all friendly with the insect before?" Shocker asked with curiosity.

Jack sighed and answered. "Because, he is the only hero in this city I find interesting. The Avengers are a just a bunch of colourful characters. Wolverine is just another killer I could go on but the main reason is. I find Spider Man interesting because he still manages to keep his wit and humour with him at all times, even if he meets a killer he still manages to focus and bright side of things. It humors me on how naïve he is. "But that'll one day get him killed, his hope for others and himself. Not let's the chatter on hold for a moment and focus on getting to the location"

They both then stopped their talks and listened to him and continued on. They were told after the fight with Spider Man to head off to a drop off location to discuss their plans. The only one who knew where it is was Jack, he couldn't go they quickly using his disk because it would attract too much attention to them.

They continued to head to the base until Jack saw a cop car in the corner. "Hold up" Jack ordered the pair. They both stopped and waited for the clear. Jack took another look at it and saw that it was faced backwards from them. He gestured them to follow him quietly, not wanting to draw attention. They walked quietly away from it while crouching.

They manged to go by unnoticed by them and headed on to their destination. "You know boss, for a second I would 'a thought you was going burn them" Shocker whispered quietly. "Normally I would, but due to the circumstances I prefer to makes quick and to the point" Jack replied with no emotion in his voice.

They kept on walking until they would reach to the drop off point. At times, Shocker and Shriek would fall back because of their injures and Jack wouldn't wait for them. Jack just wanted to get their without and complaining or whining what so ever.

A Few Hours Later

After a long walk they managed to get to the location where they needed to go. It was an old abandoned garage with a few letters from the logo of it mssing. Shocker and Shriek were both stunned by this."This? this is the place where the boss wants us to be? It's just a run downed car shop for crying out loud!" Shocker shouted, annoyed that it took him this long to be here only to have been a waste of time.

"It may look...trashy, but I assure you this is where we need to be right now" Jack said while walking inside of the place. He examined the area for something. The other two walked in as well, severely disappointed to where they are.

"How do you know that the boss wants us to be here. For all we know this could be a police sting." Shocker exclaimed in anger. "Because, he gave me the orders and the location to meet me and the reason why is because of the two of us Shocker, is that he beliefs that I was the most reliable of handling it while you just shot your mouth. And the boss has an ego of the size of Stark Tower"

Shocker was instantly angered by this and walked up to Jack. "You calling me dumb, pumpkin head?!" Jack was even interest in having a fight with him for now. "No, I'm only pointing out that I was chosen, that's all"

Shriek intervened "But what if your lying and..." Shriek tried to say. "If I was lying and if for something reason I would of killed you two believe me I would off done it by now" Jack coldly replied. Jack took another look around then area, he then remembered something "Now I know were it is" Jack walked away from the pair, and walked to a nearby car door.

The pair were confused by this. Jack walked beside the door and grabbed the handle of it. He looked at the pair and said "Please do mind the draft" Jack replied. "Draft? what dr..." Suddenly, the floor started to shift when Jack pulled the handle. it was started to lover it self down. as it was lowering it self, another floor was shifting above them as it was getting down.

around them were mechanical walls around them as it stared to increase speed. The two didn't where it was leading them while Jack knew exactly where it was going to "So this garage is what some sort of cover?" Shriek asked Jack with curiosity. "Our paying friend likes to make a lot of make shift lairs for himself in case of...reasons"

The floor they were was started to slow down, presumably reaching it's destination. it reached all the way down. The criminals looked at their surroundings. It was a makeshift laboratory. with a monitoring station with the video feed for surveillance drones. The trio walked up the stair case to talk to the man controlling the monitors.

As they were walking they saw other super powered criminals along side them. some were recognised and some were here for the first time. Jack continued to walk towards the monitoring station to speak with his boss. Jack was now behind the man "Boss"

The boss turned to face Jack and it was revealed to be the mad scientist Doctor Octopus. "You're late, care to explain why you were?" Ock asked annoyed. "It took a while to get here because...reasons" Jack said while looking at the Shocker and Shriek.

"And tell me Jack, where are Molten Man and Boomerang" Doc asked. " They were out of commission, I had to make a choice to leave them behind. they wern't good enough to take along" Jack answered. This just made Ock angered. "So you got two very valuable people into police custody?"

"Hardly, they couldn't even stop Spider Man" Jack simply replied. "I don't know why I agreed to set up this folly. The bank heist was a complete was of time all because and you quoted, wanted to see if Spider Man was worth the trouble" Doc said irritated.

"Don't worry, you still have your other powered people, their more than enough to take him down, as long as you bring up your end of the bargain" Dock grunted in frustration and reminded him "You'll get your money as soon as Spider Man is in my grasp"

"Tell me, how come you don't get him yourself?" Jack asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Because, I like to observe and examine, and I can't go ever since the event with the Grandmaster and his brother, but still I can get what I can take by taking the supplies of others. I'm a scientist after all, I have to compromise"

"A failed one at that" Jack thought. "Besides, once you get the Spider you'll be greatly rewarded for your services" Ock replied slimily. "I assume you have another plan" Jack asked. "You presume correctly Jack, I want you and a few more people to report a crime where no one will be able to come to his rescue. Once that's done, Spider Man will come and he will come like a moth to a flame"

"So when do we do this?" Jack asked "Soon enough, I still need time to plan this, in the meantime, I'm sending someone to surveillance Spider Man and his friends at that academy so I know when to strike"

"Can't you send your little drones to do it?" Jack asked. "No, they would be spotted instantly by that blasted Iron Spider's new defence program. I'll be sending someone who can easily go by undetected" Ock then pressed a communication button the monitor. the two just waited patiently for the asset to arrive.

"So, is he good at being unnoticed?" Jack asked cursorily.

"You could say that" a voice spoke out. Jack looked around him to see who spoke to him. Suddenly, a white figure pashed though the floor. "Mr Lantern, meet The Ghost. A master in stealth and theft"

"Pleasure to meet you" Jack said calmly and went to shake his hand. He didn't shake it "Sorry, it's just the head on fire and...it's a pumpkin" Ghost replied nervously. "I get that a lot"

"Enough idle chatter!" Dock said irritated. He turned to Ghost "Ghost, you are to go the Shield Academy and go by unnoticed and see if you can get his friends out of the way, understand?" Dock asked impatiently

"As long as you pay me I'll do whatever" Ghost said nonchalant. "Your pay will come once you do what I say. Now go"

The ghost nodded and phased out of the underground lair. Jack turned to Ock and asked "So, should I inform the others about this"

"Yes, and don't try to lose any more valuable assets or you'll regret it" Ock hissed. Jack ignored the threat and went to his fellow criminals to discuss their plans.

Unknown Space

The three Red Lanterns that killed Blue Lantern Jikar were floating by and asteroid fled, talking violently about the their killings. "Well I say we should just kill the greenies at their home while their guard is down. then..."

Haggor couldn't finish his sentence because Scorch threw him at one of the asteroids. "Do you have any brain cells inside your worthless skull!" Scorch shouted at Him. "The Green Lanterns are trained to fight us, in case of any of an attack like that. We are tasked to only kill the Blue Lanterns, Remember!"

Haggor got up from the asteroid and flew back into place. "Yeah, I remember. But I still wanna kill them all so bad!" Haggor snarled. "We we'll be able to" Scorch couldn't finish her words, her ring was blinking. "The rest must be wondering how it went" Ratchet pondered.

Scorch answered her ring. An holographic image came of a Red Lantern solider. "Scorch, what do you have to report?" The lantern asked in an official tone. "We managed to kill a Blue Lantern not a while ago"

The solider grinned in satisfaction. "Good, I knew the new red rings would be able to kill them, did you managed to destroy his ring?"

Scorch eyes widen while Haggor was grinning smugly behind her. "I...I'm afraid not, we let it go"

The solders smile instantly went away and an angry scowl was there. "YOU...DID...WHAT!" the solider shouted fiercely. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT MIGHT DO FOR US. IF THE RING FINDS A NEW HOST IT'L GO TO THE HOMEWORLD OF THE BLUE LANTERNS AND THEY'LL FIND OUT WHAT KILLED HIM USING THE RINGS MEMORY BANKS!"

"I...I thought that" Scorch tried to speak. "No!, you have nothing to say to make this better. Find the one who has the ring now, kill him and destroy the ring before or else our plans will have been for nothing!" ths soldiers image went away. "So, still think letting the ring go was still a good idea?" Haggor asked smugly. Scorch turned and snarled at him.

"Save your comments, were finding that new lantern and were going to kill who ever receives that ring!" The three lanterns then flew quickly to find the new lantern and end him.
