Chapter 6
Note - I'll be honest, my computer reset and the entire chapter was wiped out on Microsoft Word twice. That is one of the reasons it took so long to write this. Another reason was that my birthday was this week. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.
Grodd smiled. "Progress has been made in our plans because of the success we have obtained. The Justice League doesn't have a clue that we exist." Professor Zoom laughed delightfully. "Well, then. Our current phase involves our Gotham associates killing Batman while we recruit non-Flash villains to assist us in eliminating the Justice League. We have already gained plenty of resources." The Thinker said "I've completed my latest project. I've analyzed each member of our organization and I have all the files right here." The Thinker handed the documentations over and said "I have arranged a full-scale raid of Central City that will transpire at any time you would like." "Excellent." remarked the speedster. We will do so soon. However, the recruitment must begin first."
"Why did this have to happen? We were so close! He could've died if we hadn't saved him!" yelled Superman. J'onn sighed again. "It is alright, Superman. Everything will be okay." The Martian had put up with Superman for the last hour as he sought to find the mysterious facility's owners. "J'onn." The alien turned and found Green Lantern approaching him. "How are the others?" asked J'onn. John frowned. "All of them are still unconscious. Wally is injured pretty badly, even for him, so he's expected to make a full recovery in a month or so. Diana and Shayera will fully recover in a few days. But something's not right, J'onn. Also, why is Superman pacing the grounds like he's a madman?"
J'onn said "I honestly believe Superman had a traumatic experience because he cares quite a bit for the Flash. He can't bear the fact that he nearly failed to save him and has had a psychological breakdown. He'll be fine in a few hours, however. I do realize that something very mysterious is going on. As of right now, the facility that you went into does not exist according to any official documents. There is no sign that it ever existed." John said "What? That's impossible. We were in it for God's sake." The Martian said "I don't know what is going on but us two need to find out."
Batman was simply doing surveillance over Gotham. He knew he would have to work on the case sooner or later. Suddenly, he felt something move in the wind. It was in unison with the wind so it was difficult to observe but Batman had heard the sound millions of times. He could always hear the difference. Suddenly, a man landed on the building next to Batman in a ninja position. "Lurking in the shadows as usual, Batman?"
Batman did a back flip and threw multiple batarangs at his opponent. The man did several acrobatic maneuvers that evaded each batarang thrown. Batman found that he had nearly the gymnastic fineness of Nightwing. Batman danced with the assassin as they fought in hand-to-hand combat. Batman threw a punch, he easily deflected it and kicked him in the chest hard. Batman landed on his hands and feet. Constantine Drakon sent a flying kick but Batman caught his leg and nearly threw him off the building. He held himself on the tip of the building with his bare fingers. In a matter of seconds, he lifted himself up to discover his target was gone. He pressed his com link and said "He's headed your way now.
Deathstroke had watched the scuffle and laughed. Constantine Drakon was one of best hand-to-hand combatants in the world. Batman had left so that he could target the assassin like a ninja. Deathstroke's keen eyesight allowed him to find Batman in the night. He started leaping from building to building and nearly sliced Batman in two as he landed at Batman's position. Batman grunted through his teeth. "Deathstroke."
"Hello, Doctor Psycho. It's a pleasure to see you again." said Grodd. He had travelled all the way to Metropolis to see him. Doctor Psycho had been in an armed transport van heading to prison. He had been charged on all counts of homicide, attempted homicide, and many other crimes against humanity. Luckily, the Eradicator and the Griffin killed each guard without much trouble. Doctor Psycho simply stared into his eyes and said "You went through quite a bit of trouble to reach me." Grodd answered "Yes, I did. How did you tell?"
Doctor Psycho calmly commented "The Eradicator has alternate personalities and is a very unstable villain, if you would even call him that. He hates small-time criminals and kills them but someone must have manipulated his desire to "eradicate" that specific element of the underworld from Central City. He is an insane psychopath that can disintegrate anybody into a puddle of protoplasm with a touch. The Griffin is a formerly humiliated hero who has been disgraced by the Flash and is hoping to defeat him because of his ruined career. I believe that he is working to create a permanent solution to his accelerated aging rather than the current temporary one. He does have superhuman strength, enhanced vision, control of green lightning-like energy, and can not only jump several meters into the air but also cause solid metal to crumble. He is an impractical villain that has a large amount of powers. But let's not get too caught up. Why are you here?"
Grodd laughed. "You are very intelligent I presume. I have an offer for you." Doctor Psycho shrugged his head and said "You are correct but I had hypnotized you in giving all of that information away. You simply never realized it. I also caused those two to be unconscious. I am resourceful even with this device, which removes my powers, around my neck. I am willing to hear this offer though." Grodd frowned and nearly lost temper. He warned angrily. "Don't ever do that to me again or there will be consequences. I invite you to join the Society. It would be an organization of hundreds of supervillains all to defeat the Justice League. As of now, I would be temporarily in charge but you would be one of the six Elite members. Currently, the organization we are working with is a group of Flash villains that would help us in our mission. Are you in or out?" Doctor Psycho chuckled. "I'm definitely in. Bust me out of here and we have a deal." Grodd smiled. "So the recruitment begins."
