Luna hovered high above the compound where joker was being kept, deciding if she was going to tear her brother limb from limb, or just give him a good beating. She let out a long sigh. His death was in his own hands. If he got in the way, which she knew he would, well there was just no telling what she would do. She was leaving with J, or she was leaving in a body bag.
Disappearing, then reappearing Luna met up with her massive army. She didn't want to do this. No, she did want to do this, she just didn't want anyone to get hurt. She had torn into joker verbally about being violent for fun, and here she was about to do whatever it took for one person. A person who has done a lot of fucked up shit in his life. Someone who it would seem, didn't value life too much. Luna grimaced, he wasn't like that with her. He was worth it. He has never left her side. He didn't cheat, he didn't hit her, there was no judging. Even when she told him she was going to get rid of the baby, he still came to help rescue her.
Making the final arrangements with frost, Luna's army began the trek to the compound. They were about a mile out in the woods.
"You know I could come with you." Frost said to Luna, grabbing her hand. Luna looked down at the simple but sweet gesture. She looked up and smiled at Frost.
"No. I need you to stay here. You have a life. You have things to take care of and hold down here. Besides, you don't want to third wheel it forever do you?"
Frost let out a chuckle and shook his head. "I guess not." Luna just continued to smile and hugged Frost.
"Wait for us at the boat. Make sure everything is ready to go."
"You got it boss."
With his final words, Luna disappeared and joined her army. "Sir, we're picking up major heat signatures."
Rick rubbed the stubble on his face and internally cursed. Luna. She was coming. It was time to face the music.
"Where?" Rick asked, rubbing his fingers across the stubble on his face. The technician showed Rick the heat signatures. There were at least 100 within view and more coming. All of them soldiers Luna had turned.
"Shoot to kill except my sister."
"But sir-"
Rick turned around and grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt. His eyes dark and glaring. "Don't hurt my goddamn sister, am I clear?" The man nodded his head and began to speak into an earpiece. Rick released the man and turned to exit the room. He headed downstairs to go check on Joker.
Luna approached the building walking, her barefoot feet barely making a sound against the gravel. She stood in front of the maingate, her hands at her side. She stopped about 4 feet away from the building and began to speak.
"I know you're in there Rick. I'm begging you to please just release him and no one will get hurt, you have more word."
Luna waited for what seemed like forever in the dark and in the silence. After a few moments, one of the spotlights turned on and Rick's voice boomed through the speakers.
"You know I can't do that Luna, and I'm sorry. Why don't you come in alone and we can talk about how to move forward."
Luna's face hardened. Then she smiled, but it was anything but sweet. "You disappoint me so much Rick. I can't say that I am shocked at this point. I'm sorry things have came to this. That you're forcing my hand."
"Luna-"
"ENOUGH! I no longer care what you have to say! Feel my rage."
Luna lifted into the air and held out her hands. Her army of men rushing the gates. Automatic guns firing and taking some out. Luna smiled and disappeared, only to reappear inside.
Joker's eyes widened in surprise to see the love of his life standing before him. Luna smiled and put a finger up to her lips. Just as she did so the door to his cell flew open and in stepped Rick. He walked right passed Luna. J looked at him and then back at Luna she winked and watched Rick.
"My sister is here, in case you didn't know"
"So that's why you're in here with your tail between your legs?"
Rick didn't verbally respond. Instead he punched J right in his mouth. The man didn't even grunt out in pain. He just simply laughed, exposing the blood on his silver teeth.
"Ya know, I'm real tired of your fucking mouth. If I wasn't following orders I would put a bullet in you right now. Unfortunately, I can't do that. You're a valuable piece of bait.
Luna had half a mind to rip his fucking throat out but she had to be careful. Joker still had that shit in his chest and she was not about to fuck up all her hard work.
Rick pulled out a syringe and stuck Joker in the neck. He slumped immediately. Fuck. Luna thought, she wasn't expecting him to be unconscious but it was all the better. She watched Rick relay information into his earpiece then scurry out of the room. What a little bitch. She thought to herself. She was gonna teach his ass a lesson.
Luna waited a few moments. She passed the time by remaining hidden, and listening to the gunshots rang out in the compound. Lina pulled out a syringe of her own and stick joker in the chest. Bruce had given her a combination of drugs that would deactivate the explosive, should someone try to trigger it. It would buy them enough time to have it removed.
"You're not as slick as you think"
Luna turned around startled at the voice. She frowned immediately.
"Big brother, you look like shit."
Rick smirked. "I haven't been sleeping well."
Luna laughed and folded her arms. "Why can't you sleep? Afraid of something?"
"More like someone." He responded with a bit of an edge in his voice. Luna took a step towards him, rick took a step back.
"Never thought I'd see the day you'd be afraid of me. I'm gonna have to commit this to memory."
Rick took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand. "Luna, please, just leave. Get off the grid. I don't want to hurt you."
"ANYMORE THAN YOU ALREADY HAVE?" Luna yelled causing the glass to break in the room. The commotion surely would alert others.
Rick moved to point his gun at Luna, but she was faster. She hit him with a backhand that sent him flying into the hall. Rick landed in the shards of glass and pulled out his side arm aiming it at Luna. He was on his back. The gun aimed for Luna's head.
"Stand down Luna."
Luna sneered. She was not backing down. She would no longer be told what to do, or controlled.
"You stand down Flag. I don't want to have to hurt you. Your weapon can't harm me. Not when I'm like this."
Rick knew he couldn't harm her. He was just trying to buy himself some time. He needed Luna to be outnumbered.
Luna was no dummy. Bruce had gave her a play by play of what Rick would get to do. She immediately ghosted over to him and kicked him in the face. Rick fired his weapon and missed. Luna kicked him several more times until he dropped the gun. She picked it up and aimed it at his head.
"I think you should stand down. I'm taking my husband and leaving you and all this shit behind."
Rick groaned and spit out blood. Luna could hear gunshots getting closer. She quickly turned on her heels and beaded back into the room to get J.
Grabbing him and pulling him off the table Luna disappeared in a cloud of smoke just as the team was coming through the door.
