Bloody Justice
Chapter 5: Meeting and Understanding
I own nothing
The watch tower floated above the Earth, the Justice League members, the sentinels of earth, went about their daily lives. Six of the seven founding members; Batman, John Stewart, Martian Manhunter, Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman were gathered in the meeting room. Hawkgirl was absent due to leaving the league after the Thanagarian invasion. "So bats, what'd you call us here for" Flash asked, asking the question they all wanted to. "I've made a disturbing discovery, I had gone to apprehend a group of criminals only to find them massacred" he explained.
He pulled out a disk, "this disk contains security footage from the building they were using as a base, I've already seen it so I have to warn you, like I said it's pretty disturbing stuff" he warned. The footage starts out showing Sarah and one of her men being killed and the killer being torn apart and reforming, he then charged at the closet gunman and delivered a punch that splattered his head. Next Alucard straightened his hand and hit a man with a slashing motion, tearing a hole in his gut, causing his organs to spill out, he held his organs and screamed in agony and was finished with a slash that decapitated him. Alucard grabbed two men and crushed their heads by slamming them into each other, another man he grabbed by both his arms and ripped them off and the man fell to the floor screaming but was silenced by Alucard stomping on his head. He then lunged at another thug and bit into his neck, spraying blood everywhere and tossed him with a flick of his neck, another man he grabbed and ripped his head off and held it over his mouth, letting the blood flow into it.
The League looked disturbed and flash had to hold his hand over his mouth to keep from throwing up. The rest of the footage showed Anderson slashing through henchmen, the others mowing them down with superior weaponry, and fleeing henchmen being killed at the door. Once the footage was over Batman turned to the league, "as you can see this group is well armed and well organized and has at least two meta-humans", "that doesn't matter, we must put a stop to them" Wonder Woman said, disgusted by the lack of regard for life. "I'm afraid it's not that simple, after I arrived and reviewed the footage soldiers arrived to clean up the scene, whoever these people are they have government support" Batman explained. "What, how could anyone use a monster like that" Superman said with some heat, pointing to an image of Alucard, even just an image of him gave off an aura sadism and malice.
"You'd be surprised what governments would stoop to" John said, there were a few things he didn't agree with during his time as a marine, such as Guantanamo bay and Abu Ghraib, he believed the Iraq war was a waste of time, resources, and most importantly lives; he also wasn't proud of the US army's actions during the Vietnam war, such as Mai Lai and agent orange. "If what Batman says is true, then there's not much we can do" Martin Manhunter added, "Hawkgirl paving the way for the Thanagarian invasion has led to distrust by the governments of the world, attacking this group would most likely worsen this". "So what do we do then" Flash asked, not liking the idea of getting mixed up in politics and red tape. "Like J'onn said there isn't much that we can actually do, for now we wait and observe, if this group goes too far we confront the government" Batman explained. "So any idea of who any of these guys are" Flash asked, "not at the moment, I'll do some digging and see what I can find" Batman said, with that the meeting was adjourned, "a government death squad, Question's never gonna leave the tower if he hears about this" Flash commented.
Meanwhile at the enforcer base everyone was settling in after returning from the mission, it was currently 9:30 pm, most of the enforcers had gone to bed but two were still awake. Lucy was wearing a white nightgown that went down to her knees, she was sitting in the cafeteria eating a granola bar and had a half finished glass of water next to her. Sitting across from her was Seras who was wearing a light blue, long sleeve, button up pajama shirt and matching pajama pants and slippers, also eating a granola bar. Seras came to the cafeteria to get something to eat and saw Lucy sitting at a table and decided to join her, though she was starting to regret that because she could feel tension in the air, probably because of the awkward silence. 'Come on Seras, say something, it's not like she's going to bite your head off' she mentally goaded herself.
Before she could break the ice Lucy beat her to it, "why are you sitting across from me, there are plenty of other places yet you chose that particular spot, why" she asked, looking her in the eye, something she hadn't done for anyone since she got there. "W-well, I just thought you could use some company" Seras said nervously, "what makes you think I wanted it" Lucy said, narrowing her eyes, 'can't she take a hint, I just want to be left alone' she thought. "W-w-well you're always alone so I figured you felt lonely" Seras said. "I'm alone because I choose to be and since you obviously can't take a hint that includes now" Lucy said, annoyance in her voice. Seras had a sad look on her face, "I figured that, it's just I wanted to talk to you because I know what it's like to lose someone you cared about" she said.
This caused Lucy's eyes to widen before she scowled, "and what do you know about lose" she said, she figured with Seras' looks and the fact she did whatever Alucard told her to do that she was just a dumb bimbo. "I saw my parents die" Seras said, this shocked Lucy, "your parents" she asked. "Yeah, my dad was a cop, he went undercover but he got found out, a pair of thugs showed up at our house and beat him within an inch of his life and then they shot him, my mum hid me in closet and told me not to come out" she paused, tears were in her eyes as she collected herself. "I heard another shot, I looked out of the closet and saw they shot her, they were just standing over their bodies, laughing" she said, barely maintaining her composure. "When I saw my parents bodies something inside me snapped, there was an overturned table and on the floor was a fork, I grabbed it and charged them, I stabbed one in the eye but the other shot me in the stomach, the shot flung me against the closet door and onto the floor, I just laid their bleeding and in pain".
Seras took some deep breaths, "but that wasn't the worst part, the worst part was the man I stabbed, I overheard him say my mum was still warm, I heard a tearing sound and I managed to look up and I saw, oh god, he was thrusting between my mum's legs, he was having sex with her body" she said, tears running down her face. Hearing this filled Lucy with revulsion, she has seen terrible people but she never thought someone would be depraved enough to have sex with a dead body, especially the body of someone they just murdered. Seras sat across from, crying freely; Lucy stood up and walked over to her side of the table, once she was at Seras' side she wrapped her arms around her, pulling her into a hug. Seras cried into her shoulder while Lucy rubbed her back, tears were in her eyes as well. After a few minutes Seras managed to calm, "Seras, thank you, I didn't think anyone here would understand what I felt" she said.
Seras wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "I'm not only one, Jason's older brother was killed in front of him and his father died years before, Ajay's mother died of cancer, and Walker's squad mates died in Dubai" Seras said. Lucy had a thoughtful look on her face, "how many people lost their loved ones because of me, at this point of last track of how many people I've killed" she said. "But the I only regret two of them, both hurt someone I love" she said sadly, "and I'm afraid he'll never forgive me". "Maybe not, but people can be as forgiving as they are cruel, so who knows, in the end I guess all someone can do is wait and see" Seras said. "Seras, thank you, we should talk again sometime" Lucy said with a small smile, Seras returned the smile, "no problem Lucy, if you want to talk feel free to" she said.
AN: yeah I know this chapter seems a little weak, but a fan fiction can't be constant action, gotta have moments to take a breather, anyway I hope you enjoyed and leave review, like what you thought of the chapter, also for those who haven't watched Hellsing Ultimate that is what happened to Seras parents, Kouta Hirano; I like your work but you are messed up, anyway leave a review, but a flame and you'll be waking up in the middle of the night to the Babadook on your ceiling.
