Chapter 11: How To Kill A Succubus.

Oswald was reeling from what Wells had explained to him. He still didn't believe he was a witch. However, his mother used to tell him about witches. How they were supposed to keep the universe balanced. She also told him that, historically, witches hated succubuses. A succubus was a witch's greatest enemy. And sometimes, the only way to defeat them, was to kill them. But he obviously didn't know how. Still, he saw another problem with Well's observation. Oswald's family was dead. His mother, father and even his baby sister were all dead. Joanna Cobblepot was the name of his baby sister. He remembered it like it was yesterday. His mother, Gertrude had ended up with someone new while he was away in college. He had learned through phone that his mother would be having another baby. Oswald at first, hated it. He didn't want a sister. However, when baby Joanna was born and he held her for the first time, he couldn't explain it, but it was as though a magical bond of brother and sister had been built through them. Alas, it was not to be. His mother had told him, just after Joanna's father left, that the baby had died. Oswald had been devastated, such an innocent life, snuffed out too quickly. Since then, his mother proceeded to baby him, probably due to the loss of Joanna.

However, for some reason, Jade reminded him of what Joanna would've looked like had she been given the chance to grow up and experience being a teenager. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking. Finally, Jade spoke, "So, if she tries to kill us, and we all know she'll try, how would we stop her exactly?" She had her arms crossed over her chest, an inquisitive look on her face. Wells smiled and replied, "Well, from what I know of Succubuses and it's not very much, but from what I've read, the only way to defeat a Succubus is to stab them in the heart." Jade nodded, still unsure. Oswald sighed and asked, "What about Ed? Why did she take him?" Wells sighed and shook his head. "That I don't know. It may be that she needs a vessel to help carry out the apocalypse." He said. Supergirl looked at Wells questioningly. "A vessel for what?" She asked. Wells sighed, and said, "A vessel for one of the worst demons in history. A demon that will cause the destruction of all humanity. Oswald needs to give Edward Nygma the kiss of True Love before she releases it into his body." Wells explained.

Jade felt her jaw drop in shock. This was getting so freaking scary! 'Damn it Ed! Why did you have to go to a freaking wine shop?!' Jade bit her lip in fear despite feeling Oswald's hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her. "So, what do we do?" She asked timidly. Wells looked at them, and said, "I believe you should get yourselves ready. Suit up and get some weapons. We're going to war." Oswald nodded and he turned to Jade, hands on her shoulders. "Jade. I need you to listein to me. Things are about to get very dangerous. There's a chance we may not make it out alive, but we need to keep fighting, no matter what." Oswald reached into his pocket and took out his old pocket knife and placed it in Jade's hand. Jade looked at him in shock and tried to give it back but he was insistent. "Os, I...I..I can't kill, I'm not a killer." she said. Oswald smiled and said, "I know. I didn't want to either. But circumstances changed that. Like it is for you. This is a war Jade. No matter what, people will die. But if we don't fight now, we will all die. Do you understand?" Jade nodded slowly and with that the Squad started to grab their gear. Jade walked to a room and found an outfit she hoped would work. It was a black leather jacket, black tank top, skin tight black jeans and black high heeled boots. Jade put the outfit on and grabbed a pair of fingerless, black leather gloves. She tied her brown hair up in a ponytail, and put on some black eyeliner and colored her finger nails black. Good thing she brought her makeup kit. She grabbed a sword and a pistol from a shelf. She slowly walked out, a fire in her eyes that was once absent. She felt her power grow stronger, her crystal necklace which kept her powers in balance glowed slightly.

Oswald smirked as he took one of his favorite shotguns and clicked it. "It's been quite a while old friend." he whispered to himself. Suddenly, he felt some sort of odd energy pass through him. The crystal hidden in his cravat started to glow slightly, Oswald looked at it in surprise. 'That's never happened since mother died.' She had given that crystal to him at the age of eight. He's worn it ever since. He knew Jade had a pendant that oddly enough looked similar to his. Except his was a dark ruby red color and hers was a violet, purple color, however he remembered it used to be white. Maybe her powers had gotten stronger somehow? How could that be possible without another witch that was related to her? Oswald shook his head as he fingered the glowing pendant, feeling a rare and possibly dangerous power waiting to be released. Victor Zsasz was heavily armed, machine gun strapped to his back, knives in his pockets and was currently loading up his favorite handguns. Jade slowly walked toward them, sword strapped to her back, pistol in her hand. "Hey boys. Ready to kill a Succubus tonight?" she chirped. Oswald gave her his normal twisted smirk, gun on his shoulder and hand on his hip. "Let's have some fun!" he said darkly. Jade smirked and high fived him. "Let's do this!" Timothy shouted. With that, the squad exited S.T.A.R labs, just as the sky split, more monsters coming from the shadows, Oswald and Jade stood back to back, in a fighting stance, "BRING IT ON FUCKERS!" Jade cried and suddenly, her eyes became a dark reddish violet. Jade let out a scream as dark energy surged through her fingers, hitting ten monsters in a row. Oswald felt his own energy burst, and let out a scream as his powers were unleashed, causing a tornado, hurling toward twelve zombies in his path.

Victor Zsasz smirked and along with the witches, he let out rounds of bullets, zombies and monsters lying dead in his path. Supergirl blasted her way through the horde with her heat vision, Heatwave and Firestorm behind her, creating an inferno. Timothy landed several right hooks, beating the crap out of the zombies, smirking at Jade and Oswald. Oswald was slowly getting the hang of his new powers, he could feel Jade's energy matching his own. 'How are these powers getting stronger?' he wondered. Even his shotgun felt powerful as he shot several zombies and monsters in his path, a magical shield surrounding Jade and Oswald, their crystal pendants glowing and blending. It felt so strange to Jade. Oswald couldn't possibly be matching her energy unless they were of the same blood! She could feel their connection, strong, like...brother and sister? That couldn't be possible! Could it? Suddenly, a helicopter landed in front of them, A smirking Oliver Queen greeted them. "Hop in!" he said.

YAY! ARROW IN YOUR FACE!
