Chapter 4: The Royal Mob III
Wally is standing in front of Artemis grave. Remembering that day. Meanwhile Clark gets out of his truck and starts walking over to Wally.
Old Man Clark
Hey Wally.
Wally is still staring at her grave oblivious to Clark standing there
Old Man Clark (CONT'D)
Wally!
Wally snaps out of it
Old Man Wally
Clark. What are you doing here?
Old Man Clark
Roulette sent us. It's about the favor.
Old Man Wally
Oh that. What's the favor?
Old Man Clark
We're robbing Lex's payroll train.
Old Man Wally
*SIGHS* Let's get this over with.
They get in the truck and head over to the station where Mr. Terrific and Mercy Graves are waiting. They arrive and head into the station.
Mr. Terrific
Hello Clark. We've been waiting. Ahh I see you got Wally with you.
Old Man Wally
Yeah. Can we get this started and over with already?
Mr. Terrific
Soon Wally. Soon. Lex's payroll train will be coming through here. On that train is a red lantern ring. That's what we're retrieving.
Jimmy
Why would Lex have a payroll train with a red lantern ring coming through here so casually?
Mr. Terrific
He wouldn't. But we have a man on the inside. Morgan Edge.
In the background train noises are heard.
Mercy Grave
It's time.
Mr. Terrific
Good. I suggest we get into position. We only have one shot at this. Where's Eric?
Old Man Clark
He's in position waiting for us.
Mr. Terrific
Then let's begin.
The train pulls into the station and stops. An agent gets off the train and heads inside to use the phone. He makes a call confirming his stop at the station. He hangs up and at that moment Mr. Terrific grabs the agent's head and twists his neck. They all get on the train where the guards are waiting. The guards see them and goes to grab their guns, but Flash quickly removes their guns from them. He throws the guns off the train then begins searching for the red lantern ring and starts the train up again. Clark gets on the train begins fighting the guards. He throws one guard out of the window and knocks another guard out. One guard grabs him from behind and turns him around then uppercuts him through the roof of the train. He jumps up to the roof and Clark realizes it's Solomon Grundy.
Old Man Clark
Solomon...?
Solomon Grundy
Don't worry old man. Waller underpowered me during the Gotham Battle. Not to worry though I'm still powerful enough to kick your fucking ass!
Solomon then rushes Clark and sucker punches him. Meanwhile inside the train Mercy and Mr. Terrific are fighting the other guards while Wally continues to look for the red lantern ring. Jimmy is also looking for it. He opens up a cabinet and pulls out a marked "Anger". The ring is in it.
Jimmy
Hey Wally! Wally!
Wally comes running
Old Man Wally
Yeah?
Jimmy
I found the ring.
Jimmy gives the ring to Wally and he runs off back to Sin Palace. Meanwhile Clark is still fighting Solomon. On the roof of the train. Solomon grabs Clark and slams him. He starts punching Clark continuously. Clark grabs Solomon's arm he's holding down Clark with and forces it off of him making Solomon lose his balance. He starts to fall on Clark, but Clark grabs him and pushes him off. Clark goes on the attack, but Solomon blocks the attack and counters with a devastating punch pushing Clark back. Solomon rushes and starts throwing punches at Clark again. Clark quickly blocks a punch then counter attacks. He grabs Solomon and lifts him off the ground by a small high jump. He slams Solomon hard falling through the roof of the train. Clark jumps down and sees Solomon trying to get up. He goes over to him, but Solomon desperately throws a bottle at Clark, but he blocks it. Clark grabs him and throws him through the front of the train. Solomon hits the ground rolling and slowly gets up and puts his arm to embrace for impact. The train hits him and breaks off flipping over with the other carts crashing behind it. Clark flies out of the train quickly flies to the back of the train. Even if his flight speed isn't as fast as it used to be. He rips off the train door tells everyone it's time to go. The back of the train comes to a stop. Jimmy and Mr. Terrific gets off the train, but as Mercy is about to get off one of the guards on the ground desperately grabs his hidden gun and shoots Mercy in the back twice. Clark, Jimmy, and Mr. Terrific hear the gunshots. Clark goes to get on the train, but before he could Solomon rushes toward Clark with a hard devastating sucker punch. Clark gets up and they go at it again. Meanwhile on the train Mercy is crawling to get off. The guard pulls a out a grenade and pulls the pin off. Mr. Terrific jumps onto the train sees Mercy on the ground
Mr. Terrific
Mercy.
Mercy Graves
GET OFF! NOW!
Mr. Terrific reluctantly gets off the train. Meanwhile still going at Clark grabs Solomon and throws him at the train. He goes to rush in, but the grenade explodes destroying the train and killing Mercy and Solomon. Back at Sin Palace Flash and Roulette are waiting when Clark and the others enter the room.
Roulette
Ahhh they have returned. A job well done I'd say.
Mr. Terrific
Mercy died on the train.
Roulette
Shit! Well what's done is done. We knew there would be casualties. I'm saddened that one of them had to be Mercy.
Jimmy
Doesn't seem like it.
Roulette
Oh dear Jimmy I am saddened, but I still have a business to run and a enemy in Lex Luthor to keep tabs on. I do not have time mourn every life that has been lost. Now on to more important matters. You've done my favor and therefore you all shall get a pass to leave. Get them from Mr. Terrific.
Old Man Wally
Fine with me. Let's go.
They get there passes from Mr. Terrific and they all head out. They drive to the checkpoint and show their passes and proceed on for about ten miles and they stop at a abandoned gas station.
Old Man Clark
You sure you want to be let off here?
Eric
Yeah I'm sure. Thanks for helping me leave this God forsaken Hellhole.
Old Man Clark
No problem. Just don't expect anymore heroic types. Especially from me.
Eric gets out of the truck and while the others continue on driving.
EPILOGUE PART ONE: THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS
Roulette is staring at the red lantern ring on her finger like a newly engaged woman stares at her diamond engagement ring. She sits there admiring it when a worker brings her a package.
Worker
Package for you ma'am.
Roulette
Sit it on my desk. Thank you.
The worker sits it on the desk and leaves. She stops looking at the ring and opens up the package. Morgan Edge's head is in it. She realizes the ring is a fake, but it's too late. Her skin begins to turn a red blackish color and she hits the ground. As she hits the ground a swat crashes through the glass roof
G-Man
(Talking into earpiece)
Confirming now. Roulette is dead. I repeat Roulette is dead.
In Washington D.C.
Selina
Got it.
Selina gets up and walks into Lex's oval office.
Selina (CONT'D)
Roulette is dead. Our men confirms it.
Lex Luthor
Good. That's one less pest to deal with.
Selina
I do believe this calls for a celebration.
Lex Luthor
What did you have mind?
Selina walks over taking her clothes off at the same time. She gets on Lex's lap completely nude
Selina
I believe I can up come up with something.
EPILOGUE PART TWO: ORIGINS OF A NEW LIFE
Eric walks into the abandoned gas station looking for someone. Or something.
Eric
Hello! Anybody here!? I got your letter about a resistance!
Eric grabs a drink from the store's freezer and opens to drink it. Unknowingly someone behind him puts a bag over his head and holds him until he passes out. Eric wakes up lying face down on a table with a muzzle on his mouth. Bright lights are beaming on him. He's in a lab. A unknown person in a hazmat suit is holding eel-like alien. He places it on top of Eric's back and the alien immediately starts chewing his back trying to get to the spinal cord. One of the hazmat crew members is at a computer looking at the data coming in. In the corner of the computer is te name of the project they're calling it. It says "Freight Train".
