Chapter 3: Heroic Deeds

Cory craned her head around to look at the dotty mass of red and blue sirens behind them. "Dang nab bit. They really dogging us." She frowned and Rev glanced at her. He pushed the button to the front compartment and a pair of consoles jetted out. Cory gripped them and a huge machine gun attached to a tripod hoisted itself out of the Gem's front. Cory gasped and shook with glee.

"Try this out." Cory nodded and cracked her knuckles.

"Fish tail for meh." Rev twisted the stirring wheel, and the car swerved around making a high streaking sound. Cory made a crazy, almost Joker smile, as she shot non-stop rounds into the wind-shields of the police cars. Their relentless 'admirers' slowed down, some stopping, others taking cover in their vehicles and hurling into buildings. Estell shook her head, as Cory sat back down in the passenger seat.

"I thought you didn't like hurting the Gotham police force." Cory smiled at her, shrugging.

"They'll live; I didn't aim at any possible fatal places, just the tires and...maybe the wind-sheilds a bit." Rev looked at them both, wondering what could have made them so shrewd. He didn't think they were this crazy. They just had a speed chase with the freak'in po-po, and shot them down, yet they were making jokes. "How you holding up, Rev."

"I feel like I'm gonna die, thanks for asking, Oi vey." Cory and Estell bust out laughing and he sighed at their carefreeness. "Okay, so what's next?" The two young women exchanged looks and turned back to him.

"Something heroic!" they both chimed in unison. Rev raised an eyebrow, perplexed.

"Wait, but aren't we bad guys?" Cory slapped him in the face bluntly and made a tsking sound.

"Course not. Luthor is a swine, he's bad. Just cus we blew up his lab doesn't mean we're villains. Gotham is our home too and to be honest, the crap that goes on pisses me off."

"Isn't that why Batman's around?" The girls rolled their eyes.

"Batman's getting old. That's why Nightwing's helping him out." Cory went on.

"We can jail some bad-asses too, you know." Estell murmured, crossing her arms over her chest. Rev sighed and parked in the garage of the villa. They entered the house, a little tired. "Ugh, I need a bath. Batman may be old, but man does he pack a punch." Cory giggled.

"Nightwing sure knows how to kiss." Her friends froze to stare at her and she blinked at them at a loss. "What?"

"You kissed Night-whatever?" Estell exclaimed throwing her hands up.

"It's Nightwing, and yeah. It was a combat maneuver, but I enjoyed it a heck of a lot."

"Be careful, he's an enemy for now." Cory snorted and stretched her arms.

"S'okay, it's fine since Dick Grayson might call me any day now." Again they stared. "You two are uncomfortable sometimes."

"I love how you ended up with the cute young billionaire dad actually likes and I had to dance with stupid, dip-shit, Luthor." Estell grumbled and Cory came and hugged her.

"Loosen up, babe. You'll end up wit a handsome Bo, soon." Estell sighed and the two of them continued their conversation up the stairs. Rev clicked his tongue as he stared at the Gem. He still needed to add a lot more. He also had to armor the house too, just in case. He was debating on whether to start that now or retire for the night, when he heard Cory's voice explode from within the house "Oh my god!" Rev shot up and ran to where she was.

Cory was in front of Estell's computer freaking out. "What's the matter?" Rev demanded concerned. Cory turned to him slowly and he jumped at how insanely happy she looked. She practically pounced on him, her tiny arms wrapped around his waist tightly.

"Can you come, Rev, please, please, please, please?" Rev raised an eyebrow as she drew back.

"Come where?"

"Come here," Estell motioned him. He came up behind her, looking at the computer screen. There was a huge- ass shotgun-looking thing, the biggest he'd ever seen. His mouth flew open from shock. He could see the location of Central City at the bottom of the little cyber window.

"What the hell is that?" Rev asked surprised. Cory squeaked excitedly and joined them as both Estell and Rev stared at the weapon shaking their heads slowly.

"It's a sawn off shotgun that someone attached a rocket launcher to. Eeee, it's only twelve hundred dollars, too!" She was hopping now. "I have to have it. We are going to Central City to pick it up tomorrow. I demand it." Rev gave her a look.

"But didn't you want to do something heroic tomorrow?" He asked, almost a pleading to the end of his voice. He had a bad feeling about this. Cory didn't seem to care about what he asked; staring at the gun with such desire he flinched at even interrupting her idolization.

"Screw that, I'm getting a new toy! I can do a lot of heroic stuff wit that baby in my grasp, blow Luthor to bits." He stared at her wondering if he had done the sane thing in joining this quest, or even befriending her in the first place.

"You really are crazy, Cory." He said this curtly, turning around and exiting the room. Cory shrugged and continued to leap around, doing the cha-cha around Estell, who clapped her hands before joining. Rev could hear them down the hall as he walked downstairs to the living room. He lay on the big smooth red couch with a cream-colored floral comforter around his tired worn out body. He had to sleep there until his furniture arrived later in the week. He groaned, trying to block out the thumping of the girls partying above him. Tomorrow's gonna suck…

The next day, Rev woke up to the zesty aroma of bacon and eggs. He sat upright and turned his neck to see Cory and Estell in the kitchen bent over the stove. "Rev likes pepper in his eggs, right?" Cory asked with Estell, sturing the crackling egg yolks that laid iin the skillet she was holding. Estell nodded, looking in the pantry for the condiment.

"Hey, I like basil too, ya know." Rev called out of the blue and both Cory and Estell jumped, almost spilling all their hard efforts to the ground. They glared at him and he shrunk back regretting what he'd done.

"Sweet Jesus, you scared the crap out of me." Estell said angrily.

"We almost shrewd your freaking breakfast, arse-hole." Cory threw a piece of warm bacon at his face. He laughed shortly, peeling the bacon from his cheek and bit off half, chewing thoughtfully.

"This is pretty good; never knew you two lunes could cook." Both girls blushed and turned back to finish their cooking. "What's this all about, anyway?" he asked, consuming the rest of his lone bacon.

"This is sorry for keeping you up last night," Rev blinked, shrugging as if this didn't touch his heart.

"It's fine, I didn't stay up that long." He lied and Estell glanced at him as she slid his portions of the meal onto a plate. She set it on the coffee table in front of him and he thanked them, before digging in. "So, we driving to Central City after this?" Cory nodded excitedly with stars in her eyes.

"Yeah, I can't wait to hold that beauty in my hands and aim at a bunch of squirrels so I could shoot it for the first time." Rev raised his eyebrows and looked away from her. Knowing Cory, she seriously would use a bunch of innocent squirrels for target practice. "Hehe, it'll be magical, my first."

"Well the faster you stuff that big mouth of yours, the faster we can get going." Estell pointed out as she handed her a plate of food as well.

"Good point," Cory agreed, cramming down the eggs on her plate so fast, Rev was surprised she didn't choke.

After breakfast, the three of them got into the Angel, since they couldn't ride off in the Gem, which was now on the news and labled as a wanted car. Cory and Estell passed the time by, singing 'Eighty-nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall', until Rev begged them to cut it out. Cory smiled as she turned the car into the gates of Central City. She drove around until she was down by a few rail systems near Granite Peak National Park. They unbuckled their seat-belts and waited for the owner of the object of their interest to arrive.

Estell was first to hear the car behind them. "Hey look," She called to Cory and Rev and they turned to look at the neon-green mustang pulling up behind them. Cory's eyes lit up as the door swung open. Of all the things she expected to see, she did not expect to see Inertia getting out of the car in his green lightening bolted custom, grinning at her and her friends.

"Oh shit," she frowned and the villain crossed his arms and sat against the hood of his bright-colored car.

"This a surprise? Should be, cus you three are my hostages." Cory glared at him and slammed her fists against the Angel, extremely flustered. Rev had never seen her so angry before.

"Damn you, you gay knock off, where the hell is my gun." Inertia blinked at her confused. He was sure they'd scream in terror like most hostage. Instead this little one was yelling at him and the other two, just staring with slightly terrorized faces. At least they knew how to be intimadated somewhat. "Answer or I'll break my speedy foot up your ass." Cory barked and Estell shot her a look to shut up. That was when zap of electricity jabbed her in the leg and she winced, falling to her knees.

"Shut-up, you bitch." Cory glared at him for a second before a sneaky grin formed on her lips. Inertia blinked once more, perplexed by such an inappropriate reaction to being zapped. He turned slowly to see The Flash sitting on his car with a teasing grin. "When-"

"Took you long enough, Zoom-boy," Flash said with a sarcastic yawn. "Hey, I didn't know you were one for domestic violence." Inertia turned bright red as he shot out a ray of electricity at his enemy. Flash smirked dodging the attack with blinding speed, Inertia's car paying the price and exploding. As the sparks flew Flash whistled. "How pretty, fireworks, hey-oh." He ducked from another ray with a charismatic smile.

"Damn you, Flash," Inertia boomed, spinning as fast as he could, trying to clip Flash, who was running circles around him without a sweat. Estell, Cory, and Rev all took cover behind the Angel.

"We gotta do something," Estell said quietly. Cory and Rev nodded as they all crept into their car. Estell pursed her lips together as she planted her foot on the gas."Watch out Flashy!"

Flash glanced at them a second and sped away as the Angel came and rammed into Inertia, who's speed paled in comparison. The cheap villain went flying into a stationary train and passed out. Flash turned to them with an impressed grin. "You three got guts, sorry you got hurt miss," Cory smiled shaking her head.

"S'okay, just as long as you do me a favor…" Flash nodded waiting for whatever it was that this girl wanted from him. "Four words: Shotgun slash rocket launcher." She went on with the creepiest most insane sweet smile and voice Flash had ever heard...
