Chapter thirteen is here. The unlucky number and I hope everyone is ready. So, last time we saw the team help get Batman the Kryptonite weapon to use on Superman. They ended up fighting the Regime and Jason was captured.
How will things go now? Will he be able to get out? Will his team save him? And will we see Gamora be involved in the rescue?
Check out the chapter to find out and thanks to my friend to his help. TheXman99 who I went to talk to for my chapter and how it would go. Go check out his work. They are a lot of fun to read.
Also thanks guys for the reviews. I appreciate and glad for the support the story is getting. Now then, I don't own anything from Guardians of the Galaxy or the DC Universe. Just my OCs and enjoy the chapter everyone.
Chapter XIII
Insurgency HQ (Unknown Year)
Kara punched Arthur in the face angrily and yelled at him. "Why did you do that?! I told you to go back for him! You didn't listen and because of you two Jason has been captured!"
During their escape Kara tried to get to Jason and rescue him, but Batman knocked her out using the Kryptonite. It was necessary since he found out more Regime members were showing up. If they stayed to fight they would have been captured. None of them wanted to leave Jason behind, but he had to in order to buy them time.
Enough time to escape before they could be captured. By the time Kara woke up they were back at the Insurgency headquarters. She let out her anger first attacking Batman, but soon the others got involved. Trying to talk to her, while avoiding being killed.
"Kara, calm down!" Rachel shouted trying to calm her friend.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" Kara replied back angrily at her friend. "You abandoned Jason. The same man who took care of you after you lost your parents. The same man who helped you with your powers when you were out of control. And the same man you left behind to be tortured without lifting a finger!"
"You think we wanted to abandon him?!" Rachel replied angrily as her hair began to glow. "I didn't want to leave him behind! I look up to him! We all do! But he made us promise if anything bad happens we get you out and keep you safe no matter what!"
"I don't need protection!" Kara shouted back.
"You said that once and you almost killed Jason!" Rachel shouted again, but this time it caused the room to get silent.
Kara's expression of anger turned to one of pain and sadness. Megan helped Arthur up, while she looked on confused. Batman is in the room too, but stood in the corner not saying a word. Figuring the team needed to first cool off before he can intervene.
Earlier when they returned he got punched by Kara who she also blamed for leaving Jason behind. Once her attention turned to the others he handed the weapon off to Luthor and Aya to work on. He then returned to the room with Megan who wanted to get involved. However, he kept her away since he knew the team had to handle this on their own.
Getting involved while Kara was like this would not be a wise idea, especially if she ends up trying to punch him again. For now he decided to let her let out some steam and then speak to her.
"I…I didn't mean…you all know I didn't mean it, right?" Kara asked towards her friends.
Rachel calmed down as well as she had the same sad expression as Kara. "We know. We know you weren't in control and we don't blame you. Not even Jason, but before then when you got more control of your powers you got a little cocky, Kara. You felt like you could beat anyone and nothing could stop you."
Kara remembered that all right. When she found out what she could do thanks to the radiation from the yellow sun she felt invincible. She took down any criminals they went up against, they saved the lives of so many people, and she had no fear in the universe. However, it made her overconfidence, cocky, and it might have been the teenage side of her but also arrogant.
Even getting into arguments with Jason and Gamora until she flies off to be alone. During a mission to help Laura and Rachel she ended up falling under the control of an enemy. Being placed under mind control and was used to fight her friends. They tried to get through to her, but it didn't work.
One-by-one they all fell before her. She didn't kill them, but she came close. It wasn't until Jason used the Kryptonite on her that he was able to save her. But since then she regretted her actions, restrained herself, and vowed to never be that way again.
Rachel approached Kara and gave her friend a hug. "Jason knew if you were captured by Superman he would do terrible things to you or worse. Jason loves you and doesn't want you to get hurt. So, he made us promise before the mission that if anything happened to get you out. To get you to safety no matter what…so we kept our promise, but it doesn't mean we liked it."
Arthur wiped the blood from his nose and joined in. "We love him too, Kara. He's like an older brother to us all. We look up to him and are willing to fight for him through hell and back. But, when he made us promise to look out for you, well we had to do it."
Kara broke the hug and slowly nods her head as she wipes her tears. "I know you two love him too and I'm sorry for doubting that. I just…I lost so many people I love and care about. I didn't want to lose him again. Not when I had the power to do something about it."
Batman knew this wasn't his place to get involved, but this team is young, and need guidance. He might not be the best person to do that thank to his mistakes, but he's all they've got.
"You don't need power to keep the ones you love safe. Fighting with them, putting your trust in them, and willing to die for them is another way to keep them safe. I know you all care about Jason and I promise you we will get him back. We will rescue him, stop Superman, and free the world."
Kara smiled at Batman and nods in response. "Thank you, but how will we find Jason?"
"He's on Stryker's Island," said Luthor as he entered the room with Aya and Deathstroke. "That's where Superman has your teammate. He also appears to be setting up a trap."
"How do you know?" Megan asked.
Luthor motions for Aya to show them what is going on. Aya moves her hand up and a hologram form of Superman appeared. "Five year ago a tragic event cost lives of millions. Overwhelmed by guilt for the part he played in the destruction, he was driven mad."
It was indeed Superman who appeared in front of a podium with a banner of his One Earth government Regime symbols behind him. "He became an agent of chaos; an enemy of peace and security. Even corrupting the minds of the young to do his bidding. Even fight for his twisted war against the peace I have provided to you all."
"The leader of the Insurgency will pay for his crimes. I am calling out Batman to appear at 6 PM local time to Stryker's Island. If he does not then I will execute a member of his team who committed treason against the world. May Rao have mercy on his soul."
Aya turns off the hologram as the team now realize what they have to do. "This is a trap, but I assume you all know that."
"Of course it is," said Batman knowing Clark is doing this to lure them out. "We'll have to come up with a plan to break Jason out and get out before Superman can capture us."
"How do we do that?" Rachel asked wondering how they can get in and out quickly.
"The Watchtower's teleporter," Aya suggested. "Thanks to Luthor I managed to gain access to the information of the tower. I believe if we can take control of the facility we can use the teleporter to get everyone out."
"Problem is the island is equipped with teleportation dampeners," Luthor pointed out the flaw in the plan.
"For the building, not the outside,' Aya pointed out Luthor's flaw in his response. "We need to get Jason outside and then we can all escape."
"Good plan, but one problem. We don't have a lot of numbers to fight them all," Batman pointed out now Aya's plan. "
"Not to mention you'll need a diversion to keep Superman occupied," said Deathstroke.
"I can take him," said Kara as her team turns towards her looking concerned. "Sooner or later we would have to meet. Why not now? Besides, I don't have to fight him? Maybe I can keep him busy long enough for you all to get him out."
"Even so, Superman will have his team with him. We'll need more to help us," said Batman as the door opened nearby.
"Then it's a good thing we're here," they all turn around to find Gamora walking into the room with Nebula, both Groots, Laura, Rocket, Drax, and Mantis. "Now then, who is this Superman and where has he taken my son?"
Stryker's Island
Jason began waking up as he sees he is locked up in some sort of holding cell. His hands and feet tied together with chains. His armor and equipment removed. Placed on a nearby table where he sees Hal Jordan standing nearby.
Jason didn't say anything though since he figures there would be no point. The door soon opened and in came Wonder Woman along with who Jason didn't recognize. However, he noticed the S symbol on his chest and figured that this guy was Kara's cousin. The one who was responsible for all the oppression on the world.
Superman approached Jason and stood before him with a scowled look on his face. Jason stared at him without a look of fear in his eyes and replied.
"So, who talks first? I talk first? Or do you talk first?" Jason asked starting off the conversation.
"I've been told of what you and your team have been doing since you got here," said Superman who didn't sound pleased. "You and your team are in a lot of trouble. You may not be from around here, but let me tell you how things work around here…"
"Wait! Hold on, let me guess how things work around here," Jason interrupted Superman and replied. "You kill criminals who are bad without giving them a fair trial. You lock up people who protest against you all or you consider a threat. You kill your friends who disagree with you or stand up against a coward like you? And how you use fear to control people who once looked up to you only to see you have become the very thing you fought against."
Superman's expression turned to one of anger, but kept his calm. However, Diana walked up to him and punched Jason in the face.
"You will show respect, boy," said Diana.
Jason turns towards her and spat out some blood. "Lady, my mom and girlfriend hit harder than you. But then again, so did I. How's your head?"
Diana goes to punch him again, but Superman stops her. "Yes, Diana here told me about your girlfriend. Even telling me about the symbol she was wearing on her chest."
Jason figured he would bring that up and would be asking about it. "To be honest with you. She wears it better than you."
Superman approached Jason until the two are face to face. "Tell me everything about her."
Jason simply continued staring at Superman without a look of fear in his eyes. He then quickly delivers a head-butt knocking him back. Diana punches Jason in the face again and prepares to stab him, when Superman stops her again. "No!" he ordered as he recovered from the hit.
Diana retracts her sword into its sheath and backs off as Superman looks up at Jason. "Fine. Eventually your team will come for you and I will get my answer. But, until then…" he turns to Hal who nods in response. "I'll leave someone to get some answers out of you until you break. I believe you two have some unfinished business together."
Superman soon left with Diana as Raven walked into the room as the door closed behind her. "Are you afraid?"
Jason simply smiled at her. "Nope, but just know this. Before this day is over you'll be the one quaking in your boots."
Raven scoffed at his remark as her hand began to glow. "We shall see."
Insurgency HQ (Unknown year)
The Guardians of the Galaxy arrived to Earth after Laura and Groot explained to them what happened. Gamora used the Space Stone to bring them to this world where they met up with them and they were taken to Earth. Once they arrived they went to the headquarters of the Insurgency. There they were given an update of what happened.
Batman tells them all the full story of what Superman did, how the Earth is under his control, how the team volunteered to help him, and how Jason got captured. Gamora was not pleased to hear her son was captured and how Batman allowed that to happen. However, the team was quick to defend him since they all agreed to help. Despite the dangers and the risk they were taking.
Still, she knew she would deal with all of her anger later about it. What was important is saving her son and then she would deal with Superman.
"So, the plan is to break him out and use the teleporters from this watchtower you all have in space?" Gamora asked going over the plan.
"Yes, but to do that they will need to use the teleporters at the Hall of Justice," Batman pointed out.
"Luthor gave me the information needed to access the teleporter there and Megan even volunteered to help disguise herself as Cyborg," said Aya as Megan shapeshifts into Cyborg. "The metal parts may be organic, but it can still fool the others."
"Yeah, but you two going in alone on this mission is probably not a wise idea," said Rocket.
"I agree, which is why I'll be going too," said Deathstroke volunteering for this mission. "I owe the kid so I'll help break him out by helping his allies."
"Yeah, sorry if I don't believe Captain One-Eye here to go with the girls on this mission," said Rocket as he stood up from his seat. "I'll go too. I can take control of tower's security systems to keep any other uninvited guests into the party."
"I am Groot," said the older Groot.
"I am Groot," said the younger Groot.
"No, we'll need you two for the attack on the island," said Gamora knowing they will need help to get her son back. "The less people we have to sneak into this facility to get the teleporter the better."
"Agreed," said Batman who didn't want to risk too many to try breaking into the Hall of Justice.
"So, I'm working with a robot, a Martian, and a vermin. Swell," said Deathstroke not liking this team he is a part of.
"Call me vermin again and I'll take your other eye out," said Rocket who didn't like being insulted.
"Enough," Gamora replied silencing her friend. "While they get into the tower the rest of us will distract the Regime and break my son out. I will go with Batman and Laura to get him out. Nebula, you will lead the others to fight the Regime members."
"Sounds like fun," said Nebula who didn't seem to have a problem with that.
"Just remember, no killing," said Batman reminding the others of his rules.
Gamora however simply smiled and got up from her seat. "Or what? You'll scowl at me? My son has been kidnapped by a bunch of psychopathic ex-heroes who despite being your friends are no friends of mine. If I find out they harm my son then I will rip all of their damn heads off and yours too if you get in my way."
Batman simply stared at Gamora not appearing to back down from her threat. The young heroes backed away a little when they saw this not wanting to be in the middle of all of this. They knew Batman is tough, but against Gamora who was raised by Thanos…oh there is no contest there.
"Okay, um how about we go rescue Jason and then…talk about this later?" Kara asked hoping to calm the two sides down.
Gamora and Batman finished their stare down as the two walked away from each other. The team sighed in relief as did Megan who was glad nothing bad happened.
"Shall we um get going?" Megan asked.
Hall of Justice
Thanks to the codes Luthor gave to the team Rocket, Deathstroke, Aya, and Megan managed to get into the facility without being detected. The good thing there weren't any members of the Regime at the facility. Probably on the island getting ready for their trap.
They arrive at where the control room is at as they gained access inside. No security and no one around to stop them.
"Rocket and Deathstroke. Get to their communications and re-route them. I will get the teleporter ready to use once you send me the access code," Aya ordered as she turns to Megan. "You will come with me in case we run into trouble."
"Understood," said Megan as she took on the form of Cyborg and followed her.
Rocket and Deathstroke go inside to begin working on the computers. "All right, one-eye. Let's get hurry up and get her those codes. Once you finish then we can…"
"This isn't my first drop, furball. I know the plan," said Deathstroke as he continued working on hacking into the system.
"Then stick to it, okay?" Rocket continued working on the computer panel and began messing with the communication. "I don't want you messing this up and risking the lives of my friends or the kid."
"You seem to care a lot about this boy huh?" Deathstroke asked as he found the codes and worked to gain them.
"What about it?" Rocket asked.
"Just surprised is all. Hard to imagine you and that team I saw earlier are even his family," said Deathstroke as he got the codes and sends them to Aya. "Even harder with you since I thought your kind don't live long enough. Unless there's a planet filled with all of you vermins."
Rocket kept calm and focused on his job. "Oh trust me I'm one of a kind and good thing too otherwise I would end up like you, old man."
"Are you always such a pain in the ass?" Deathstroke asked.
Rocket finished hacking into the communications and smiled. "Oh you haven't seen how much of a pain in the ass I can be, one-eye."
As they finish getting what they need the door opened and they see some Regime soldiers standing there aiming their guns at them.
Rocket though looked calm despite the amount of weapons pointed at them. "For example. I'm about to rip their damn eyes out."
Meanwhile, Aya began accessing the teleporter. Even gaining the codes from Deathstroke to take control of it. She has the codes from Luthor to get into the tower, but needed these codes to keep it under lockdown. Megan stood by her as Cyborg while she did this.
However, someone was coming in and Aya flew up to stay hidden. Megan went to the panel and continued working on it. Out of the teleporter came Catwoman as she sees Cyborg. She walked over to him and said hello, but noticed something off when he replied back.
Catwoman approached him and began probing at Cyborg trying to figure out what's wrong. However, knowing there isn't any time for this Aya blasted her from behind knocking her out.
"Will she be okay?" Megan asked as she morphed back to normal.
"She will be fine, but we need to finish this," however before Aya can get to the panel something landed on her head and caused her body to shut down on her.
"Sorry, not but neither of you is going anywhere," said Cyborg as he entered the room and hacked into Aya's body. "Cyborg to Wonder Woman. I got the intruder."
However, all he got was static and he knew something was wrong. "Hacking into our communications. Clever, but once I take you both out I will regain access."
"Megan…help…" Aya pleaded as she struggled to break free.
Megan turns to Cyborg and sees him turning his attention to her. "Give it up, girl otherwise I'll put you down like Superman did to the last Martian he fought."
This made Megan upset as she began to float into the air. "That Martian he fought and killed was my uncle. And I'm going to show you what happens when you mess with someone close to me."
Cyborg's hand turned into a flamethrower as he fires it at her. Megan was able to dodge the attack and keep her distance as he levitated some of the ground towards Cyborg. He dodged the attack and fired some rockets at her. Megan dodged them as she phased through and flies towards him.
Cyborg fires a net that was able to attack her intangible form as it began shocking her. Cyborg goes to finish her, but Megan opened her mouth and let's out a sonic scream that began damaging Cyborg. He fell on his knees as he tries to block the shouting out. Megan shapeshifts as she breaks free of the net and punches Cyborg in the face knocking him through the door.
Megan charges at him again, but Cyborg hits her with a sonic blast as she fell to the ground. Cyborg blasts her again and again trying to keep her from getting back up.
"Give it up, kid. I've seen all of J'onn's old tricks and what he can do. Ain't nothing you have up your sleeve that will surprise me," said Cyborg.
"Don't be…too sure…" said Megan as her boy began to change.
Megan transforms into a large White Martian and destroys Cyborg's sonic blaster. She then unleashed a brain blast that knocked Cyborg down. Attacking his mind and knocking him out. Megan quickly turns back to normal and frees Aya who witnessed the whole thing.
"Thank you for your help. I have never seen that creature before. What was it?" Aya asked.
Megan looks at her with a concerned look before she shook her head. "It was actually…my real form."
Aya stared at Megan confused. "I do not understand. I thought you were a Martian, which was green."
Megan sighed knowing this was going to happen. "Sort of. I'm actually a White Martian, while J'onn is a Green Martian."
Aya began going over the information about the Martians and soon found some info about them. "Green Martians were a species that were peaceful and kind. The White Martians were warriors that enjoyed fighting and hated peace. This resulted in a war breaking out between both sides."
Megan seemed surprised that Aya knew this, but then again if she is a Green Lantern then this might be the reason how she found out. Even though her people's history was not well-known by all other life-forms there were some that became Green Lanterns and probably passed on this information.
"Why keep this from us then? Why not tell the truth?" Aya asked who didn't see the harm in knowing the truth.
"Because, even though I wasn't like them I was still treated like an outcast and a monster. I lied to J'onn so I could be accepted and make up to him after what we did to his daughter," said Megan who recalled what happened that day and how much regret she has for what her people did. "Batman doesn't know and I want you to promise me you won't tell the others. Please, Aya."
Aya didn't like lying to her team, much less keep secrets. However, she did feel bad for Megan and didn't want her to feel like she wouldn't be accepted. Despite the past of her teammates. But right now they have a job to do.
"Very well, but you will need to tell the others," said Aya as she sees Rocket and Deathstroke.
"You beat me to him," said Deathstroke who noticed the unconscious Cyborg.
"I assume you two have history?" Rocket asked as he placed a cable in Cyborg and began hacking into his system.
"This one was personal," said Deathstroke.
"I didn't think anything was personal with you. At least that's what I heard," said Megan.
"He made it personal when he tortured me," said Deathstroke as he explained why it was personal.
Rocket understood Deathstroke's reason and finished getting them what they needed. "I made sure robot boy here doesn't wake up until we finish getting out of the facility," he handed the data over to Aya. "With this you should be able to hack into the facility no problem."
Aya nods as she finishes activating the portal, while downloading the information. The team get in and soon teleport to the Watchtower where they see no one around.
Aya rushes over to the controls and begins inserting control of the facility. "I have control of the Watchtower teleporter. It will take me a minute to take control of the full facility."
"Are there any hostiles onboard?" Deathstroke asked as he opens the door and checks around to make sure the coast is clear.
"Scanning…yes, two of them. Flash and Shazam," Aya was able to access the cameras and find two Regime members onboard.
"Good. I'll go take care of them," said Deathstroke as he was about to leave until Rocket stopped him.
"Where you goin'? The plan was to stay…"
"I won't be long. Besides if they figure out what we're doing they will try to stop us," Deathstroke explained. "While we're at it why don't we also make sure the Regime lose a little more than their teleporter? You interested in blowing up some things, furball?"
Rocket didn't like the idea of going off the plan, especially since it will piss off Gamora, but blowing up things is something he also enjoys. "Got something in mind?"
"Yes I do," said Deathstroke as the two leave the room to get things underway.
Meanwhile
Flash and Shazam are in going over the plan that Superman told them they were going to do once Batman shows up. They heard that Wonder Woman and the others caught the leader of the team that they had fought against. He was a young kid who was working with Batman and with him was a Kryptonian girl. One that Superman never knew about and wanted answers to get.
They heard Raven was left to get the information out of him. They didn't like the idea of torturing someone so young, but Superman told them the reason why they have to do it. To end this fight against Batman, end the Insurgency, and finally have peace. However, the two heroes couldn't help but feel uneasy about all of this despite what they were told.
"I don't know…If he said it was okay, it was good enough for me," said Shazam as he still felt troubled by what is going on.
"Yeah…I asked myself, 'what if what happened to Lois, happened to Iris?'" said Flash who still felt what Superman is doing is the right call.
Despite the fact that Iris broke up with him after he broke his promise to her to stand up against Superman if he took things too far. He even ended up killing someone, but tried to justify he was saving her life. Iris didn't buy this and went to jail rather than stand by his side. He has tried to make it up to her, but no matter what he does she still sees him as a murder like Superman.
"It made sense at first. Bad people get what they deserve. But now?" Shazam felt like what Superman is doing is going over the line, especially how this kid didn't kill anyone and didn't seem like a bad like the criminals they fought.
"Superman's not actually going to kill the kid. He's just bait," Flash explained trying to justify what Superman is doing. "To catch Batman and end this fight."
"And then what? Remember what he did to Green Arrow?" Shazam asked recalling what he heard he did to their friend and how he beat him to death.
Flash couldn't forget what happened to his friend. How he tried to be the voice of reason, tried to stop Superman without killing him, and in the end it cost him his life. Superman even killed his wife leaving their son an orphan. He tried to make sense of what he did, but he knew nothing he could say would change the minds of other people.
His attention turned to the teleporter and found it wasn't working. In fact a lot of the systems were no working either.
"Something's not right. Everything is going off-line," said Flash.
"Somewhere you need to go?" said Deathstroke as he appeared in the room.
"How did…" Flash knew it didn't matter how Deathstroke got in, but he knew how he is going out.
He runs at him using his speed, but then suddenly he stepped on an explosive that send him flying into a nearby panel. That also activated another explosion that sends him through a hole in the ground. Shazam flies at him but then another explosion erupted above him causing him to fall through the hole. He managed to land on his feet as Deathstroke landed across from him.
However, before Shazam can attack him he is shot in the back by Rocket. What hit him was not a bullet or blaster, but rather several small projectile devices that attached to his back. They send bolts of electricity through his body causing him a lot of pain. Deathstroke runs up to him and proceeds to beat the kid up.
Delivering several punches and kicks to the face and gut. Shazam tried fighting back, but Rocket activates the devices that continue shocking him. He uses his powers to destroy them, but it drained him after the earlier attacks. Deathstroke jumps up and delivers a roundhouse kick knocking the hero out.
"Still just a kid," said Deathstroke as he sees Flash nearby, but unconscious. "We better get going before he wakes up. By the way, nice toys you used there."
"Thanks, you didn't look bad out there yourself old man," said Rocket as the two head down to where the Watchtower's power source is at. "So, the plan is to cause the reactor to overload and destroy the place. Not bad, but um don't we need the place for the plan to work?"
"Assuming your team can work quickly to get the kid out I'm sure you will all have plenty of time," said Deathstroke as they approach the computer panel. "In any case the plan was always to destroy this facility anyways."
"I guess, but how much time we talking about?" Rocket asked as he begins helping cause the reactor to overload.
"An hour to probably an hour and a half. Assuming they don't hold back," said Deathstroke.
"Oh trust me they won't," said Rocket as they begin finishing getting things ready.
Once they finished Deathstroke typed down the last key and is confronted by Flash. "Stop what you're doing!"
"It's not what I'm doing…" Deathstroke delivers an uppercut and followed it with a kick to the chest. "It's what we've done."
"Well, I'm ending it," Flash attacks Deathstroke as the two fight around the room.
Meanwhile Rocket begins contacting Aya. "Aya, we gotta get moving soon."
"What did you two do?" Aya asked through the com-link." The reactor is going critical."
"Deathstroke explained he wanted to take out the tower since he felt it was key to Superman's Regime," Rocket explained. "I mean it sounded logical and shit."
"You do realize if the tower goes before the others can save Jason they will be trapped. You just jeopardized the entire mission," Aya explained sounding a little peeved.
Rocket soon realized that was true what Aya said and how Gamora will be pissed at him. "I um well…can you shut it down?"
Aya checks and finds she can't stop what they did. "I can try slowing down the countdown. At the most 95 minutes is all I can do, but I'll need to contact the others to let them know what happened."
"About that. How about you don't mention to Gamora how I had a hand in this until after we save Jason?" Rocket asked not wanting to feel the wrath of Gamora.
"Understood," said Aya as she focused on trying to slow down the countdown. "Megan, contact Batman and let him know what is going on."
Megan nods as she tries contacting Batman. "Batman, this is Megan. We have the Watchtowe,r, but we've got a problem. The reactor's gonna blow."
"Can Aya stop it?" Megan turns to Aya who was focused on her task. "Negative. We have 95 minutes before it blows up."
"We're almost in position. Keep me posted if anything happens. Batman out," said Batman before turning off his com-link.
"I'll need to teleport everyone off before the place blows up as well," said Aya not wanting anyone to die while on this mission.
Suddenly a hologram of Luthor appeared in front of her. "Nice work, ladies."
"Aya is a little busy, Mr. Luthor. What do you need?" Megan asked.
"I need Deathstroke," said Luthor. "I've learned that Ferris Industries has a prototype technology that may allow me to re-weaponized Batman's Kryptonite. I need him to bring it to me."
"Does Batman know about this?" Megan asked.
"No. He would have insisted on using the weapon himself. I need to do it," Luthor explained. "Batman is the face of the Insurgency. If he dies, it dies with him."
Megan was surprised to hear that Luthor is planning to use the weapon himself to take down Superman. She didn't expect this at all and wonders if she should tell Batman about it.
"Send over the coordinates," said Deathstroke as he came in with both unconscious heroes. "I guess I'll see you all later."
"You are lucky I am busy trying to stop the place from exploding. Otherwise I would teleport you someplace like Mt. Everest," said Aya threatening Deathstroke.
"Well, nice to see you can get angry after all," said Deathstroke before turning to Rocket. "Good working with you, furball. Maybe next time you might consider working for me?"
"Sorry, I prefer working with a team and not a one-eyed psychopath," said Rocket turning down Deathstroke's offer.
"Well, if you ever change your mind. You know where to find me," said Deathstroke as he is teleported to where he is needed.
As soon as he left Aya detected something in one of the locked rooms. "Megan, you see this?" Aya asked pointing to the items in the room. "Go get them and bring them to our friends. It looks like they'll need it."
Megan see the items and smiled. "You got it."
That's the end of the chapter and imagine Rocket working with Deathstroke…eh wouldn't last. I think the two prefer doing things their way. One works alone or uses people to do what he wants. The other likes blowing up things and saving his friends.
So, that's good. Also, yeah I decided to reveal Megan's past here and the info about the White Martians got them from the comics. So, hope everyone is okay with this. How will things go as the fight to save Jason is about to start?
