OK, here's the next arc for JLA: New Golden age. This time it's meant to help keep things more simple and covert as, with such a large team, I'm thinking that maybe the teams could be set into squad instead of large groups. Thus easier to write and can do a lot more character dynamics. Anyway, hope you enjoy this! I only own my own OCs, everyone else's characters belong to them.
Chaos Reins Part 1
(9 years ago…)
(Coast City, California. Ferris Air Base. March 3rd, 10:03)
A group of people were working on planes before people ran away in fear as a figure walked forward, making several people look at him with shock. He wore a simple violet military uniform with a hooded cloak over his body. "Hello Ferris Airfields, I am Major Disaster. And today, you are gonna give me some aid in a little project I have planned."
Carol Ferris, wearing a simple white button up top and a skirt, glared at him. "What do you want, Paul?"
"Oh, so you remember me, Miss Ferris?" asked Major Disaster with a chuckle as Carol rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I remember. You used to be in training under my father…you couldn't listen to commands so you were kicked out." Said Carol with a scowl as Disaster growled.
"Yeah…because of him, I had to become some petty crook. But thanks to that idiot Dr. Wells…lets just say…something is VERY different." Disaster said with his eyes glowed a bit, causing the near by security guards to suddenly yell out as they were hit by some overhanging lamps that fell on them.
Outside, a Hispanic young man looked through a pair of binoculars as he nods, "OK Barry, I see Major Paul Booker at the air force base. He's likely gonna cause some trouble if we don't start now." The young man had neck-length black hair, a black 'Explorers of the Unknown' T-shirt under a white jacket, a pair of khakis and black shoes, giving a thumbs-up.
"Alright, time for you guys to see the hero in action." A much younger barry Allen said, putting on a much more rubbery-looking costume than what he wears in the modern hero age, as a man in a wheelchair looked at him oddly.
"Cisco, why did you make the highly unstable molecules that make up that suit so…shiny?" asked the man, adjusting his glasses a bit curiously. The man in the wheelchair had short black hair, dark brown eyes under a pair of black rimmed glasses and wearing a simple white button up shirt
"Don't worry, Dr. Wells. I can take this guy no problem." Flash said with a smirk as Wells shook his head and got out his laptop and showed him the footage again.
"Barry, as you can see from this security footage, he has probability manipulation. He can make something bad happen with merely a thought. So you have to time it just right, do not go in half-cocked." Wells warned as Barry nods.
"Don't worry, I'll get rid of that punk no problem." Flash said as he sped off, as Wells rolled his eyes at this as he noticed a green streak of light coming through the sky.
"Hmm?" Wells in confusion as the red and green streaks came into the building, making Major Disaster look up in confusion.
"Hold it, pal!/You're busted, Paul!" both voices said as Flash glared at him, while Hal arrived, wearing a simpler Green and white jumpsuit…before the two noticed the other was there.
"Huh?" asked Hal in confusion as he asks, "Flash? What are you doing here?"
"This Paul guy has been causing problems in Central City ever since the reactor went off a few months back." Flash said, giving him a look. "And as you know, anyone whoe was there is my jurisdiction."
"So, I got the attention of the space beat cop and the guy in the rubber spandex. I'm shaking." Disaster said as his eyes shined a bit, making the ground under Flash shake but he sped away and towards him, but Disaster smirked as he spun, creating a miniature tornado to send him flying back.
"Try me for size, bud." Green Lantern said as he fired a few energy missiles forward, making small explosions to send Major Disaster go flying back a bit as Flash got back up.
"And lets see you a speedy double." Flash said as he sped forward, sending a barrage of punches at him as Green Lantern motioned everyone out, as they did so as the two heroes glared at the villain.
"Heh…so what you got rid of them…I can still get the missiles. Once I get them into the air, KABLAM! I take out Coast and Central. Then I can take out the other big league heroes, and chaos will reign supreme!" He said with a laugh.
"…and you're clearly a few cards short of a deck." Flash said as he punched him again, this time knocking his hood back, revealing his face as he glared. His brown hair was flared up faintly and his blue eyes were much more noticeable.
"Heh. You think your petty insults mean anything to me? I can bend chaos to my will!" Major Disaster said as his eyes shined a bit as he concentrated, causing one of the near by jets to come to life, turning towards the air base.
"…I officially hate this guy." Green Lantern said flatly as he glared at him as he fired a blast of energy at Major, making him yell out as he was hit, but that caused two missiles to head towads the building. "…Crap." He put a barrier up around him as he put one around Flash as well, but Major Disaster laughed as he fired a blast of energy at the two, trying to get them, uncaring to the impending explosion before…
KA-BOOM!
The building was partially destroyed, as Hal and Barry both groaned as the barriers vanished as Flash gave Hal a nod. "Thanks for the save, Green Bean." He said in a joking tone as Hal landed as he gave him a smirk.
"Looks like you owe me one, Scarlet Softie." Hal joked back as he looked around and saw a bit of cloth as he shook his head. "Damn…I couldn't put a barier on him fast enough…"
"The guy didn't let us even try…ah well…hope he's doing better…wherever he ended up." Flash sighed as he says, "Man is Dr. Wells gonna kill me for messing this up…not to mention how am I supposed to explain to them that a man died on my watch?"
"No clue…but I know this…Carol is gonna be pissed with those same reasons…" Hal said as the two looked around the destroyed base.
(Present Day)
(Washington DC. Hall of Justice Training Room. April 11th, 09:08)
Green Arrow took a breath as he looks at an moving bull's-eye with an apple on a small shelf, which moved up and down, on a the wall in front of him...in-between it and him was 5 swinging hoops, a pair of clamps that open and shut quickly and a wall moving up and down that separated them. Arrow got out a simple black-headed arrow as Hal and Barry looked at this curiously, both without their masks on. "Ollie, no offense, but there is NO way you can make that shot." Barry said with a chuckle.
"Thanks for the support, Bar." said Oliver with an eye-roll as he concentrates, as Hal just chuckled.
"Heh, like you know anything, Bartholomew." Hal teased with a smirk as Barry gave him a look as Hal just smirked at him.
"Hal, I'm a man of science. And given the obstacles he put in front of him, even Oliver couldn't get through." Said Barry, as Oliver smirked.
"You're right...if you're just thinking like that. But with me, you gotta think...creatively." said Oliver as he turned around and pointed the arrow without looking...and fired, the arrow flying through the obstacles as it hit the apple as he gave the two a smirk.
"Wha...huh?" asked Barry as he sped over and got the arrow with the apple still attached as he took the arrow off and took a bite out of it. "You sure you don't have any metahuman powers, Ollie? There is no way that is just pure skill."
"No one likes a party pooper, Allen." said Oliver with a smug smirk as Hal just smirked as he got his ring out, shining a bit.
"OK then, lets see you get these targets then." said Hal as he concentrated as he created 4 dart board constructs as he made them float around as Oliver smirked as he got quickly got his arrows out an fired them each in a row, surprising Hal as he got all of them in the middle. "...Touche, Robin Hood..." He said flatly as he dismissed the constructs, making the arrows fall to the ground.
"And I don't need a fancy mood ring or super speed." Oliver smirked as the two gave him a look at this as Hal just scoffed a bit.
"Please, I don't just use the ring. I got skills from the Air Force when I was in my service days and I learned several different alien martial arts from Kilowog. I can take you without the ring. Without his speed, I'd be able to go circles around the man in yellow booties here." Hal said with a smirk as Barry gave him a flat look.
"Hey, Jay taught me how to do boxing and I learned stuff from Batman so I could at least have some idea on how to protect myself when I was starting out." said Barry as the three gave each other looks at this as Maxwell walked in at this time and saw this.
"...I'm assuming this is a bad time?" asked Maxwell curiously as the three turned to him.
"Oh, hey Max. Take it the others haven't come back from their missions yet?" Asked Barry as he walked over at this as Max shook his head.
"Sadly no, Mr. Allen. Lets see..." said Max as he got out a device out. "Batman and Wildcat are taking on a sighting of Shade in Gotham City, Black Canary is assisting Oracle with a missin in Hub City involving some 'royal Flush gang' or something along those lines. Lets see...Aquaman is aiding Etrigan and Wonder Woman with a kraken that's attacking a sea liner, Superman and Supergirl are dealing with some sort of imp named Mxy-something or other in Metropolis, Alchemia is working on something with Cyborg, Captain Marvel is currently in school, as are the other Sidekicks, Geo-Force is helping in Markovia, and Katana and Samurai are currently dealing with an issue with some invading Tengu in Japan, and Martian Manhunter is currently aiding Dubbelex with training Perdita." He looked up as he asks, "Did you get all that?"
Oliver gave a frown to Max, as he says, "Still not big on what happened last week with Destiny, Max. Just making that clear now." Maxwell sighs as he shrugs.
"Hey, I don't always agree with Miss Waller's intentions, but she is a big picture person. Besides, I'm assuming that you at least trust the Martian, yes?" asked Max as the others just nod. "Good...at the moment, you are the only 3 Leaguers who aren't in the middle of any circumstances that are going on." Max said as they nod. "You three can rest up from your little testosterone contest for the time being." Max walked out as Oliver sighed, putting his hood down.
"Come on...lets rest up." said Oliver as Hal and Barry nod, both going to the main room to relax, unaware of a pair of green eyes watching from a reflection as the training room shut itself down.
The three went into the main area, where Oliver noticed Etta Candy Trevor, a young African-American woman wearing a nice black jacket over a white shirt and a pair of black pants, was with Perdita as she helped fix up a backpack she had on.
"So, you going to be good?" Etta asked as Perdita just chuckled at the question. "You know Steve and I got a lot of work to do."
"I know, Mrs. Trevor. Thanks again for letting me stay with you two." Perdita said with a smile before she noticed Green Arrow and smiled bigger. "Plus I can spend some time with the League while I'm here."
"Heh, have fun." Etta said as she ruffles Perdita on the head as she headed off to get to work at the Hall. Perdita smiled at this as she ran over to Green Arrow and his two comrades.
"Green Arrow, how are you doing?" Perdita said with a smile as Green Arrow just chuckled at the kid's excitement.
"Heh, I'm doing good kid. How about you? You doing okay despite all this stuff going on with you?" Oliver asked as Perdita nods as she taps her head.
"Do not worry, my mind is still going strong. I am not gonna let my powers cause problems for me like my uncle." Perdita said as Hal raised an eyebrow at this.
"I am still surprised you even HAVE powers." Hal said, crossing his arms as Perdita gave him a flat look.
"Just because I am a child does not mean my powers cannot activate. My uncle's powers became noticed when he was 6." Perdita said with a flat tone. Hal put his hands up in a 'take it easy' fashion at that remark, not wanting to get on her bad side as she was technically royalty still.
"Fair enough." Flash said with a shrug. "Man, it's been awhile since it's just the three of us, huh?"
"You have met before you became a team?" asked Perdita curiously as Hal just chuckled.
"Yeah, we all knew each other well before we were in the Justice League. Heck, Flash and I met 9 years ago when we took on Major Disaster. Though I met Arrow here awhile before. Long story on that." Green Lantern said, as Perdita did a nod at this.
"Yeah. Though now I got to babysit these two knuckle heads while the others are busy." Arrow said with a faint smirk, making both Barry and Hal glare at him.
"You mentioned a 'Major Disaster'…what Major Disaster was it?" asked Perdita in confusion as Flash got down to her level as well.
"Actually kiddo, this 'Major Disaster' was a super villain with chaos-based powers that could do what that Destiny guy could do but in real life, not in dreams. He…kinda blew himself up awhile back." Hal said sheepishly as he shrugs. "Ah well…at least we don't have to worry about him anymore."
Green Arrow just groaned at that as he says, "Trust me…given how many times I've heard THAT line being said…it's only gonna end badly."
"Don't you think that is a tad paranoid?" Perdita asked as Green Arrow gave her and the others a bit of a look at this, as she gave an 'ah' look as she realized what she had said. "said the girl who is being placed under Witness Protection…good point." She said sheepishly.
"But come on, lets be honest, it's not gonna be that bad, right?" Flash asked as he heard a beep on his ear as he says, "Flash here."
"Flash, we got a sighting of one of the Rogues in DC. I can't tell, but it appears to be some man with…some sort of walking tornado of some sort." Steve said in the ear piece as Flash scowled.
"So, Roscoe is back out on the loose, huh? Is he with anyone?" asked Flash as Steve gave a cough.
"Uh…yeah. Cyber-Cyclops and a guy with a light gun. Looks like they're trying to make off with some Sivana Industries tech." Steve said as Flash frowned at this, rubbing his chin.
"Thaddeas Sivana, huh? They're likely after some weapons, he's a well known tycoon with making weapons for the military." Flash said with a nod as he looks up at Green Arrow and Lantern. "Top is robbing a Sivana Industry warehouse here in DC with Professor Ojo and Luminus."
"Three crazy geniuses teaming up to steal from Sivana…that doesn't bode well. I'll get my bike and meet you guys there." Green Arrow said as he went to the garage as they nod as Flash sped off while Hal gave Perdita a nod.
"Billy should be here soon, kiddo." Hal reassured as Perdita nods at this as Hal flew off after Flash as Perdita sighed a bit before going to a spot to sit down and relax.
(Central City, Missouri. Lampert's Foxhole Bar. 11:05)
At the downtown part of Central City, many different thugs were playing pool and drinking beer, many of them were civilian garbed versions of many of Flash's rogues that weren't in prison.
At a seat at the bar, a man around Barry's age was sipping out of a margarita glass as he sat down, looking ahead calmly. He wore a simple white and blue jacket and a pair of jeans, with short brown hair and dark brown eyes, a faint 5 o'clock shadow on his face. "Hey Snart, you still in the biz?" Asked the bartender, who was a giant of a man with noticeably thick skin and shaggy black hair and wearing a green turtleneck and black slacks.
"Do not worry, Teran. I am not out of the game just yet, just need to bide my time. After all, I rather not go into something dead in the water." The man said, known as Leonard Snart, the infamous 'Captain Cold' himself.
"So, you're the commanding officer of the Rogues in this town, huh? The guy who is the arch foe of that fast mover, the Flash?" asked a voice as Snart just chuckled at this.
"You could say that, yes. As long as they wish to play by the rules we established for ourselves here; no attacking civilians if we can help it, no needless deaths or chaos, and above else, no killing unless it's that speedster, the Flash. We are skilled criminals, so I wish to show that we do not need to stoop to the level of those maniacs in Arkham or those thugs in Stryker."
"I did not ask for the life story, Mister Snart." The man said as Snart turned to him calmly to see Paul Booker, but now wearing a more militant air force style jacket and black slacks with combat boots and gloves, and his face had a noticeable goatee on his face with faint hints of graying in his hair and beard.
"Paul Booker, hmm? I heard of you. I thought you were dead. Of course, everyone thinks that about EVERY villain that is able to get away." Lenoard shrugs as he sat down as Paul sat down next to him.
"Actually, I did die. But my new found abilities from that machine Wells created 9 years ago, that…reactor that released that mutagetic energy?" Paul said as Leonard nods as this.
"Yes, yes. The same energy that created many of the super powered criminals in Central and activated that 'Metagene' nonsense that STAR keeps using to explain the metahuman phenomena, get to the point." Snart said as some other people looked up curiously at this conversation.
"Well, as I was saying, my powers are based around chaos, and it turned out that, well…you can't destroy chaos. It would not make any sense. So it took 9 years, but I was able to get a patch job that also fixed my brain after it went AWOL back when." Paul explained as he tapped his head. "And now, I am thinking of doing a comeback."
"What did you have in mind?" Leonard asked with a frown as he sipped his drink, before he coughed a bit when he noticed his drink was now black instead of the colorful hue it was before and noticed it was now ashes, making him raise an eyebrow as he got out a pair of simple blue rimmed goggles.
"I'm going to give this town a bit of a make over. Just making sure you don't get in my way, Hawk." Paul said calmly as Leonard snapped his fingers. A duo of men walked up at this, one with tye-dyed hair and wearing a very bright yellow T-shirt over a white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of slacks. Next to him was a man with a short mustache and a bald head and wearing a red and black jacket and a pair of fireproof pants.
"Whatcha need boss?" asked a man with a orange jacket with a pair of green slacks as a young man with a green hoodie came up, adjusting what looks like a strange pair of gloves as well as his glasses as a blonde haired woman came up, smirking at this.
"Oh, he looks like fun." Said the girl with a gold necklace and a white and gold sundress as Leonard smirked a bit as he snapped his fingers as Paul frowned, as he saw the group glare at him.
"So, it seems I got the Rogues on their bad side, hmm?" Paul asked with a raised eyebrow as Leonard nods at this.
"Pied Piper, Trickster, Mirror Master, Heat Wave, Golden Glider, and myself, Captain Cold. We are not the people you would want to mess with, my good man." Leonard said as he got out a blue blaster of some kind with a blue glow to it. Mirror Master got out his own gun hich had small squares of glass on it.
"Ooh-hoo, Texas Hold'em time!" Trickster giggled as he got out an rubber chicken of some kind from his pocket, which he squeezed to reveal spiked ends on the inside of it. Heat Wave got out a miniature flamethrower at this, as he gained a dark grin while Pied Piper's hands started to vibrate with sound.
"Any last words before we blast you, bud?" Asked Pied Piper as Golden Glider got her own gun out as the group kept their weapons posed at the ready…as Major Disaster only chuckled a bit at these threats as his eyes flashed a bit.
"That is what you would call insubordination. Time for some discipline!" Major said as his eyes flashed a bit as he vanished, confusing the group as Trickster saw him behind him. He jumped up, his shoes giving him some extra lift as Mirror Master fired a strange spectrum of light, which Major dodged with a grunt, making the light hit a pool table.
"Hey, hold still!" said Heat Wave as he fired a blast of pure heat at him, which Major Disaster put up a chair to take the hit for him, making it burst into flames as sonic blasts hit him, sending him back.
"Gotcha!" said Pied Piper with a smirk as Golden Glider fired a blast of molten gold onto him as her brother fired a blast of icy energy, quickening the drying of the melted metal as it coated Major Disaster.
"And thati s what you get for threatening the Rogues." Captain Cold said with a chilling smirk as he heard cracking. He raised an eyebrow as the gold shattered, making several blunt bits hit Pied piper, making his sonic cannon go haywire and hit Trickster, who gave out a 'Yahooie!' and hit a near by bar, making him groan a bit.
"Was that your best shot?" asked Major Disaster as he raised his arms. The remaining rogues looked confused as Cold gave a scowl as he saw the floor was beginning to give way as he saw the building was cracking around them.
"What the hell?" Golden asked in confusion as Mirror Master scowled as he blasted a near by mirror, making it shine oddly as he nods to the others as Trickster groaned as he got up, Pied Piper rubbing his head.
"We better move, now. Rogues, head back to the HQ before this place comes down on top of us. Sorry Turtle." Captain cold said, putting his hood up as the group ran towards the mirror and went through as the flash went off as Turtle gave a slow run outside as the building collapsed around Major Disaster with him standingi n the middle, chuckling a bit.
"Heh…hopefully this sows the seeds of chaos…I already got it started by getting those…'news' of the weapons Sivana has in mind to sell back in DC. Hopefully I can create some chaos here and move back to Coastal…where my end goal lies still. But first…to thank the man who made this possible." Disaster said as he got out a old magazine; it showed Harrison Wells, head of Central City's STAR labs, on the front of it as he crumpled it.
Unknown to him, however, a small blue probe was near by before fluttering back to a man in the shadows, which a man took with a small smirk. "Interesting…" He said, his eyes flashing sapphire for a moment.
