Thanks for the advice sparky I think it helped!
-Spade-
I swore someone was following us as we raced down the hallway but quickly dismissed the thought we hadn't met one guard on our way down the hallway. Which was actually suspicious maybe someone was following them. As I was about to look over my shoulder I felt someone knock me over.
Emma had also gotten knocked down and was in my range of sight she seemed unharmed. I stood up and brushed myself off. I turned around to be faced with a boy he looked awfully familiar. He was slightly taller than me and looked older his bright yellow eyes glowed with insanity I narrowed my eyes at him then I remembered but I wish I hadn't. I studied him closely he was obviously a threat.
As his muscles tensed and I readied myself for a attack. The stranger lounged at me tying to punch me at the temple for an easy knock out. I dove out of his way glaring at him ready for another attack. He studied me carefully then he glanced at Emma who just stood he charged at her full speed
-Casper-
"What are you doing!? Don't just stand there!" I yell, grabbing the pretty blue-eyed girl by the wrist for just a second to pull her out of the way of the guy who had just charged at her.
I just now joined the rescue party, late may I add, but it's not as hard as it seems to figure out who are the good guys and who are the bad. I quickly analyzed the situation. Okay, so the scientists are almost always bad, the creepy yellow-eyed guy who just attacked is also bad news, but the girl and Spade are definitely good. Then again, I just got here, (running from school, then changing out of my uniform, and into my costume and mask takes time) so other than with Spade I have a very large chance of being wrong. I just got the okay to be Spade's partner two weeks ago so I'm not second hand at this.
The guy turned to me fast, he punched and I ducked. He made to kick me in the head but I blocked with my arm, then I took hold of his shirt pulling him forward then putting my hand on his chest for a second, I pushed him back, hard, with my super strength. Unfortunately he wasn't pushed back as far as I had hoped.
"We're running now!," I yelled to the girl, wide eyed with fear. The guy was scary!
-Lee-
I get back up. My eyes glowing in anger as I began to get back to the chase, braking through every one of the doors, my insane laughter reaching out to them as I began catching up with them." WERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING KIDDO'S!?" I scream my white hair flying out in every direction as I swiped at them, sending the girl flying into the wall looking at the jackal, my yellow eyes glowing along with the slick back outline, of a crazy smile."What kid? Hahahaha! Your lover girl isn't going to see me behead you with my bear hands! Trust me! It isn't going to hurt a bit! HAHAHAHA!" I grit my teeth, mussels flexing at him as he whips his knives out.
the boy with the yellowing defying eyes longed at me pinning me momentarily he quickly jumped off just as I relied he had left something on my shirt it blew up in my face pushing me Into the wall. the boy pushed both his companions up and shoved them toward the steel doors he had growled "keep running no matter what I've got this". They hesitated then he threw a card at them and they dashed through the doors avoiding the explosion. The card blew up the roof above the exit they just took concaving the only exit. I turned back to me narrowing his eyes and said "we could of helped you".
"HELPED ME! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" I scream at him my white robes flapping back as did my silver white hair. I was mad yes I admit that madness was in my 'programming' ever seance I was made. I was built to kill. Yet they just kept running from me as I gave a sleek smirk in the creepiest way possible, my voice all distorted like a demon. Or like someone was strumming on my vocal cords. It existed me to catch them because the only thing the brats are doing is getting lost. I screamed a laugh, sending a chill not only down there spines but mine as well.." YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE JACKAL! COUNT ON IT!"
Jackal continued throwing explosives around the room not strong enough to damage the structure of the building. The explosives billowed smoke into the room making it impossible for me to see. I laughed and it sent a chill down my own back.
I jackal had circled me a few times throwing knifes and explosives seemed to be his main weapon he had given me cuts and bruises but I couldn't feel them.
I had caught one of his previous knives he had thrown at me right then I threw a knife in his direction it hit his leg i heard him tear it out quickly with a slight yelp. Then threw it back at me it impaled me in the shin.
I glared at him and growled "jackal you can't run and you can't hide I will kill you and their is no escape of this!". Jackal circled me carefully placing explosives. When they exploded it almost brought the floor down underneath us. It slowly cracked and I realized the floor was about to cave in
We fall fast, in the long fall I grasp onto him tightly, twirling his body downwards for when we land, his head would be brutally crushed. But he kicked my face, pain consuming my face, as I let him go landing on my head as we stop. Blood dripping on my face in shock as I flopped down, my head throbbing. Out cold as the jackal loomed over me. Giving a slightly concerned look. As I lift my head up." Uuuu..." I groan, rubbing the wound as he looked at me." Who are you?" I ask examining my surroundings." My head hurts...". Everything went fuzzy but I felt someone bandage my head and lift me up right before blacking out.
-Casper-
The crazy guy had yelled, "You'll never leave this place alive, Jackal! Count on it!," to our backs as we ran through endless hallways, that all looked the same! I know we're running and all, so I'm not really paying attention to detail, but I mean seriously, how does anyone navigate a place like this?
"Wait one minute! Spade KNOWs that guy!?"
"Not the time!," she's right of course, it wasn't the time but that doesn't mean I'm going to forget about it. No, I will definitely bring it up later.
"So, are you turning back with me or do you want my communicator to help you get to our ship by yourself, because he just became my partner and I am NOT going to explain his death to The Bat."
"He told us to run, he seemed pretty serious," she countered.
"He's fighting the Terminator!"
We whipped around, so that we were now running towards the danger. The ground quaked as we got closer, it was too late, Spade and the maniac had been face to face when the floor under them caved in due to Spade's bombs.
"Spade!,"I called down the hole desperately all I could see was the dust from the crushed cement.
"I'm fine... but he's hurt,"Spade's voice finally reached me.
"And that's a bad thing!?," knowing he was okay, I turned to keep look out as THEY made their way out of the hole Spade created. I thought the scientist had to have heard the explosion and sent other experiments after us, but I was wrong, nothing came. The scientists had cut their losses, leaving both of their experiments behind without knowing who had won.
Spade had had his arm around the maniacs shoulder, Even though he had definitely looked as though he was going to faint under that guys weight. He had done a good job getting them both out of the crater, but they fell who knows how many feet, not to mention already being exhausted from the fighting before falling. I mean, Spade was strong and it took a lot to tire him out, but we have all been through a lot today.
"If he doesn't wake by the time you get to the mount justice, you're going to have help him in. He's heavier than he looks," Spade had said after finally making it to where the girl and I were waiting.
"See y'll later, I've got to go finish up something," Spade's way of saying goodbye. I gave him a suspicious look, then accepted that Spade would always be the solo-act type.
I flew the ship away from the wreck we created in our successful mission.
Wait one minute, "what's your name," I asked looking at the girl (don't worry the ship has autopilot.)
"Emma," she seemed surprised by my sudden curiosity.
"You look like an Emma," I said simply.
"Now that I think about it, super strength isn't much of a power, I would much rather have the ability to fly, but it does come in handy," I changed the subject.
I looked back at the guy. Like Spade, Emma, and I, he was covered in scratches and bruises but he had a lot more blood than the rest of us. I bet if he was in his right mind he'd kill us for kidnapping him.
We made it back to my home and parked the ship.
"Where are we?," Emma questioned confused.
"Mount Justice, of course," Frost replied as we walked into my living room, where we made the maniac lay down on the couch.
I turned to look at the other three, "well, here we are..."
-Frost-
Leaning on the kitchen counter I looked at all of them with an emotion less look. Our killer was passed out on the couch it was taking sheer strength not to cut down the enemy.
But I'm loyal to Spade and his orders. I will tolerate him for now.
I looked at the new girl, Emma. Everything about her screamed danger. She looked at everything like it was completely new.
"Where do you think Spade went?"I asked out of no where. Casper stood up from the laid body of the broken creature. Maybe that was harsh for a thought but I don't care.
Emma looked at me with steady eyes. Casper rubbed the back of his neck."I don't know Frost, you know how he is."
I nodded, Spade is a solo guy with secrets. Then again aren't we all filled to the brim with secrets?
I pointed to the broken creature laid on the couch."What are we to do with him?"
"I don't know told me to take care of him."Casper said. Emma looked from me to Casper clearly confused.
"What?Are we suppose to keep him?"I asked with distaste of the idea."What about Batman?"
Casper let out a sigh."I don't know, maybe he'll except him."
"Maybe not."I said pushing my self off of the counter. My footsteps were silent as I rounded the couch with my arms behind my back. Emma watched me with amusement.
I studied the creature, he was big and very…Strong looking. Maybe Batman will really except him."He clearly has no 's…Dull."
"What?How?"Casper asked."Do you SEE the size of him?!"
"I've seen it before."I said bored. I looked at Casper with cold in my eyes."You can't tell cause your a sidekick TO a sidekick."
Casper's face was turning a little red."Frost, you don't have to act like your better than everyone!"
"Well I am."I said simply.
"I swear Frost your like a-"
"-Let's not fight."Emma said with lack of emotion in her voice. "That's the least thing we need."
"Your right Emma."Casper said with a pointed look at me. I shrugged in response."While we wait for Spade I should show you around."Casper said to Emma.
"Whoa,Me too right?"I ask him. I glanced at the creature a little uneasy.
"Oh no."Casper said delighted of my situation."You do have to watch him…Since I'm second in charge."He said with an evil grin.
I looked at the beat up boy laid asleep in the couch once the grey doors slid closed.
I am alone with a monster.
I waited with the monster until his eyes sprang open fast looking at the me with a evil grin on his face, rubbing his head that held a bandage on it.. I backed away as he grasped the sword that laid carelessly next to him. He letting out a evil laugh, slowly walking slowly towed me." HE'S AWAKE!" I yelped as he grasped my throat throwing me to the wall." Hahaha!" his laugh was stern with evil and inanity. he walked over to me pointing the large sword that weighs more than I do.
he was about to stab me finish me with a swift swipe, but I had managed to dodge it, with every ounce of me power as it made contact with the couch splitting it straight in half.
He growl, loudly at me." Were are you going..?" moving a chair over the door as he backed me up to a corner.
"The funs just getting started..." He said smiling wickedly.
Oh my FLIP! The monster is awake and in our secret place. Exactly what does the brave Frost do she runs away.
I run passed rooms till I thrust a familiar one open, aware of the monster on his way. I grab a sword straight from the rack of swords just as I here him yell for me to come out.
I put the sword belt around my waist. And looked around the room for an exit. I look up at the ceiling to see a vent. I jumped and pulled it free and shimmied my self in.
I close and start moving soundlessly. I could hear his heavy footsteps. I put my back on the inner tunnel and let out a breath feeling like I am the worst person.
After a few minutes the place got quiet. I braced myself as I sneaked a peak through an open vent.
Then he was there in my vision."Hello pretty."He said pulling me down.
-Spade-
I had just arrived at the cave and heard "He's Awake!" then a yelp. The slice of a sword ripping through our sofa told me that our guest had woken up. I followed his voice and menicial laugh. I saw him he was face to face with frost I pulled out a trak dart and I threw it with precision it found his neck. He turned around his expression filled with rage at the sight of me. But then his face went calm and he fell forward. Landing on the floor with a bang. Already hearing casper and Emma footsteps racing toward us.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. What did we just miss!," Casper said as he slid across the floor after bursting through the door followed closely by Emma.
Casper looked from Frost, who was still holding her katana in a fighting position, to me, who was completely calm even though I was still a bloody mess, to the maniac, who was now faced down on the cave floor with a sleeping dart in his neck.
"Aw, man! I miss everything!," casper said.
"Calm down, everything's fine," I replied.
"Hey... Thanks," Frost said to me curtly. "But I could've handled it." She reminded me.
"I know, but we aren't aiming to kill," I replied looking down at him.
"Why aren't we aiming to kill again?," Casper asked, before I could come up with a more logical reason then the one I had Casper asked "How do you know him, Spade?". Like that was a question I was going to answer no that would require to explain a lot about my past something I like to keep under wraps.
We all went to the living room, Casper and were carrying the maniac when we went to the stairs that led to the holding area I sent Casper back up to wait with the others.I placed him in a cell and sighed I locked the door to the cell.
I really didn't want to go up stairs and explain everything to them. So instead I left a note telling them I had somewhere to go. I snuck out of the mountain easily they didn't see me.
Luckily I got to the woods and bandaged myself up. My adrenalin faded leaving me exhausted. I sat up in the trees and closed my eyes slowly I fell asleep letting my guard down my mistake.
Nightmares as always consumed my sleep. I was back in the cadmis lab and they had me locked up in a holding tube I banged against the glass frantically calling for help. That's when the scientist approached my tube his smile evil and his voice soft and quiet terrified me. the glass tune broke and when I came out it's just all darkness around me . I saw myself with a bloody sword standing over lee. That's when I woke up I looked around me everything was dark I was panting. At the most I must of slept maybe 3 hours. I sighed and sat their staring at the sky. My mind wandered as I shut my eyes once more.
I was a project at cadmis an explosive went of near mine and another experiments containment cell setting us free jackal was my name at the time.
The other experiment and I tried to escape and killed many in the process and we had escaped and teamed up for 3 years running from cadmis and destroying their labs. But one day we were careless and they caught us they immediately put us on ice. I found a way to escaped the ice somehow. I also freed lee the experiment I had spent 3 years with.
We tried to escape but when we were so close to freedom they caught lee I didn't go back for him believing him already dead and they did horrible things to him.
They gave him a purpose to hunt me down and bring me back to them. Twice he almost succeeded but my luck ran out the third time and he caught me. They put me back on ice and did the same to lee saying he was to big of a risk.
We were locked in their for many years but I had found another way out but this time I left lee and I escaped. After I escaped I started attacking cadmis labs. Making sure no one ever had to go through what I or my brother had to go through. ( if that's unclear he is calling lee his brother because he grew up with him and was practically raised by him)
The justice league thought of me as a danger to people so they forced me to join their little teen group. I worked alone and the only one of the league members ever talked to me and that's batman. He was the one that had said I should become apart of the team. So now I was his responsibility but after I joined the team I still attacked the cadmis labs. I just didn't kill as many people.
Now it's my chance to make it up to lee for what I did. But I think he's to far gone I can't chose what's good for the team because of our old friendship He practically raised me after we escaped cadmis. I know he tried to kill me but I still can't help but hope somewhere that the lee I once knew is still in their and that he'll come to his senses.
I have never told and will never tell anyone about this. Not even the justice league knows where I came from or what I've done. They tried to find out once with Martian man hunter but he said my mind had many strong barriers and that he could not break through. I intend to keep it this way where no one knows.
