Chapter 36: Attacked

THREE MONTHS AFTER HEROES WERE RESCUED

Location: Office Headquarters

In a large room that resembled a penthouse suite, a man dressed in a white suit sat with a large glass on Chianti staring out into the sea. A blond man and woman stood at the door.

"Let me see if I have this right, you all haven't found them," the man in the suit said, swirling his drink, "Even with the resources and the technology and the magic that this organization posses, you can't find me twenty washed out heroes." He finished in a yell.

"The subjects appear to be in a location to which is negating the scanners and in conclusion has rendered-" the man in the suit yelled, throwing his glass against the wall and cut off the woman.

"I don't care for your excuses. I want results," the man said.

"We've search the planet and-" the blonde man said.

"Then search the bloody moon. I want those heroes found. I will not have my perfect balance world be destroyed by them," the man said.

"Sir, it's been ten years. All the data has been extracted. Any aliases have been deleted. The Watchtower was destroyed. What else is there," the woman asked.

"Balance," he answered, "How much safer do people feel not having to wonder if the person next to them is some super-powered freak. We are human...plus we can defend ourselves. No more hoping Superman will save you. You can save yourself."

"We're hunting them down like animals," the woman snapped.

"No, we aren't," he replied, "because if were, they would back in their cells. Now go get me those cretins."

"But-" the woman started.

"Are you questioning orders," he asked.

"No, Sir, the woman said.

"Good, then leave," he said. After the two left the man's room, the man walked over to his desk and pushed a red button on his phone.

"Yes."

"Please have Mrs. Moirai removed from operations," the man said, sitting down in his leather chair.

"Any specific transfer, Sir?"

"I said removed not transferred," the man said. There was a brief pause, before he was answered back.

"Right away, Sir."

"And have that with camp in the northern territory crushed," the man said.

Location: The Ural Mountains-Isolated Camp-Security Room

Inside a small bunker, three men were watching over the monitor when a light began flashing on the console.

"We got some activity in the southern section," one of the men said.

"Sensors are detecting seismic activity…It's probably just a tremor, but have a team check it," another said.

Location: The Ural Mountains-Isolated Camp-Generator Station

The huge drill bit of machine bursts out of the reinforced cliff face, it opens and retracts, Tala rolls out and drops to the ground. Another huge drill bursts out, it retracts and opens and Deimos drops to the ground. They look around. They're between the clay wall and the electrified power grid fence of the Camp's generator station.

"The foundation of this fence is a hundred feet deep…Basically, no going under," Tala said.

Ten drill pods start to burst out the wall. And then there's a crashing sound as one of the wall girders bends, obviously a drill machine in the clay behind it hit it. Tala can hear the engine grind to a halt.

"If we don't get him out he'll suffocate," Tala commented. Deimos simply gave her a side-glance.

"Never said I cared," Tala said.

"All that matters is the mission," Deimos said dryly, "That is acceptable collateral damage."

"Is there any other," Tala scoffed.

Tala pulls out a small black device and pointed it at fences, a few moments later and a detailed schematic of the generator station, showing rooms and people moving about them. She points down a tunnel beyond the electrified fence, and gestures to one of the soldier. The Man immediately walks over and places another small device in front of the fence, a robotic arm extends from the device and then pushes through the fence to a override switch and lowers the switch, cutting the electricity. Tala, Deimos and the soldiers quickly scale the fence.

Tala, Deimos and soldiers creped down the hallway. When two guards can around a corner, before they can even react, the one of the soldiers fired two dead center forehead shots. Not even pausing Tala directs them down another hallway.

Location: The Ural Mountains-Isolated Camp-General's Quarters

I women in a grey pantsuit walked up to a door with a plaque which read General Adams. She knocks on the door, and a moment later Captain Atom (Captain Nathaniel Adams)-now General Adams-opens the door.

"Galatea, what can I do," he said. She simply hands him her tablet and stylus.

"Sorry to disturb you, General," Galatea said.

"That's all right, Galatea. And I told you just call me Nathaniel. I'm never going to get use to being General," Nathaniel said, "What am I signing now?"

Before she could give an answer, Galatea gasped. A blade was piercing out through her chest before disappearing a second later. She dropped lifelessly, revealing Deimos behind her.

Before the general could grab his gun, Deimos had buried his blade in Adams's gut. Adam collapsed to the ground gasping. Tala steps forward and rips the General's security badge off his jacket.

"What's this," Tala asked, catching sight of the tablet on the ground.

"Now this is wonderful," Tala said, smiling at Adams. Adam's eyes followed them as they left. He turned his head and saw the red button under his desk and struggled to reach it. With everything he had, he made his way to and hit the button before collapsing.

Location: The Ural Mountains-Isolated Camp-Laboratory

Tala swipes Adam's security badge across the lock of the laboratory vault door. Inside was a small silver device the size of a two large briefcases.

"What purpose could this-" Deimos started. Before Deimos could finish his comment. A white wolf flew at him, and knocked him down. Deimos didn't have time to do anything before the white wolf's fangs were sunk into his neck. The wolf threw its head back, ripping away Deimos' throat at the same time and leaving his dead body lying on the floor.

"I hate wolves," Tala said, before pointing and firing her gun at the wolf.

Location: Everest-Underground City-Barrack Lounge

"I still don't understand this Earth tradition. Why hang poison over your loved ones," Shayera said, watching Harley tie mistletoe over the door.

"Kids love it," Harley said.

"It is wishing death," Shayera said.

"Mistletoe can be deadly only if you eat it," Harley said.

"Hmm…a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it," Shayera countered. Before they could continue, Lily and Damian ran over to her.

"Thank you for the early Christmas present, Auntie," Lily said, holding her pink and black collapsible crossbow.

"Yeah thanks," Damian said, with his small box full of batarangs.

"Not problem, my little munchkins," Shayera said, smiling at the children, "Now, you can only use them with someone watching."

"Yes, ma'am," Damian said.

"Don't call me ma'am," Shayera said.

"Yes, sir," Lilly said.

"Get going," Shayera said, as Harley giggled.

"I can't believe you gave them weapons," Harley said, as the child ran back to their mothers.

"I can't believe Talia was surprised," Shayera laughed.

Everything was fine, until it happened. One-moment things were calm, and them screaming. Shayera dropped to the ground screaming.

"Shayera," Harley yelled, falling to the ground with her.

"Get it off," Shayera screamed, clawing at her back. Helena ran over and helped Harley pull off Shayera's jacket. One of the animal outlines on her back was glowing red.

"What is wrong with her," John asked, trying to get to Shayera, but was pushed back by Deadshot.

"There's a breach somewhere," Oliver said, unclipping his gun from his belt.

"Bullseye, get the children out of here," Wally ordered, rolling over to Shayera and the small crowd that was surrounding her.

"Gone…danger…breaching," Shayera said over and over.

"Where?…Shayera, where is the breach," Helena asked, trying to calm Shayera down enough for an answer.

"Not here," Shayera replied. And the room calmed slightly, now that the UnderGround had not been compromised.

"Where," Talia asked, kneeling down.

"I can't think," Shayera panted.

"Try," Talia urged. After a few moments, Shayera gave her an answer.

"Russia," Shayera muttered.


Author's Note:

G.I. Joe was a good movie. And I had to bring back Tala and Deimos, even if only for a moment.

Please review! Reviews motivate me to post, and let me know that the story is actually wanted.
