Thousands of thoughts were swirling around in Jemma's head. Hate, anger, revenge. They consumed her mind. She felt like a traitor. Leaving the people she cared about to fight an enemy they couldn't even think to defeat. They were basically walking into death's grasp. She knew that she couldn't be captured or else the world as she knew it would be gone, but she didn't want to run either. All the training she went through seemed to be useless.
"AHHHHHHH! RUN!" Mobs of people began running towards her out of nowhere. She didn't seem to realize that she was already in a city.
"What the hell?" She muttered to herself as she stopped her motorbike. People ran past her as quickly as their feet could take them. She removed her helmet to see what chaos was going on around her. She looked up dumbstruck. A man who looked liked a wooden puppet, a woman who was green and covered in leaves, and a man with half of his face messed up were standing on top of a giant toy robot rampaging the city. "Oh crap I must be in that place…." She sighed. She remembered the stories Master Ra's al Ghul told her about a city called Metropolis where crazy villains and heroes went amuck.
"Artemis take the left, Red Arrow take the right. Try to stop this thing at its feet." She noticed that the heroes had finally arrived.
"Sorry Nightwing, but we'll be taking this one." A red streak went past the two archers, tripping them along the way.
"Don't get in the way…" The apparent leader Nigthwing growled as he threw some bat-shaped boomerangs at the robot, which exploded on impact. The robot, however, didn't seem to take any damage.
"Why don't you let the real heroes take care of this?" A girl with green skin and orange hair floated in midair, looking down on Nightwing and his team.
"Like we'll let you take over…" The female archer, Artemis, growled as she shot an arrow at the girl. The arrow soon became a net, but was soon stopped by a black haired boy with a large red 'S' on his shirt.
"We have no time to play with these fools, Miss Martian." He tossed the net aside. The heroes began fighting each other rather than the villain at hand.
"These idiots…" Jemma sighed to herself. She placed her helmet back on and started the engine of her bike. "Whatever…. not my problem…" She was about to drive off when she noticed a little girl cowering on the sidewalk.
"I told you this would be easy, Ivy. All these heroes ever do is fight each other which leaves us with the loot, and with this contraption you made, Toyman, we can practically take over Metropolis." The man with half-a-face laughed. The villains did not seem to notice that they were about to crush a little girl. They probably wouldn't have cared though.
"Crap…" Jemma muttered as she threw off her helmet and dashed towards the girl. She quickly grabbed the girl as the robot's foot came down upon them. "And I thought this would be a quiet road trip…" She pushed off the sidewalk and slid on her back, the robot's foot barely missing her. She let go of the little girl and ordered her to get out of here.
"Hey look down there. It's a hero doing actual hero-work." The leaf colored woman mocked.
"What do I get myself into…" Jemma groaned as she grabbed her Glocks from her holster and began shooting at them.
"What the-" The villains seemed surprised. "Let's squish her." The puppet-looking man controlled the robot to step on her. She dashed away as she continued shooting them.
"Guns aren't gonna stop this thing…" Jemma glanced over at the heroes who were quarrelling amongst themselves. "Hey idiots!" All the heroes turned her way at the sound of her remark. Apparently they had never been blatantly called idiots. "Why don't you guys clean up your own crap instead of making me do it?"
Suddenly she saw a red streak pop up right next to her. "Well hello, beautiful. I haven't seen you around here. I'm Flash." He grabbed her hand and was about to kiss it, but she tugged it away before he could. "Oooo the tough girl, eh? Well I'm up for the challenge."
"Artemis, Red Arrow, go stop Toyman, Poison Ivy, and Two-Face." Nightwing ordered then walked past Jemma.
"Normal weapons are not gonna work against that thing." Jemma warned as she grabbed a key from her holster.
"Thanks for the tip, but it's none of your business." Nightwing growled then ran off towards the robot.
"Miss Martian, Flash, go stop that robot before it causes more trouble." The boy with the 'S' ordered as he jumped up towards the robot.
"They think they can stop us." Poison Ivy grinned then summoned her plants. Flash became entrapped in the vines as well as Artemis and Red Arrow. Nightwing threw more of those explosive batarangs, setting Artemis and Red Arrow free. "Uhg! How dare you hurt my babies!" The boy with the 'S' was about to punch the robot when its arm smacked him into a building.
If they're not gonna finish this anytime soon I will. Jemma thought to herself. She grabbed one of her Glocks and aimed it at the remote controlling the robot. "Heh, bingo." She smirked then shot the remote. The robot stopped moving and the villains became frazzled. "Now let's end this…" She inserted one of the keys from her holster into her Glock. She pointed the Glock at her temple, preparing to pull the trigger. "Unlock, Sorrow." She fired the gun, but she didn't die. Instead, her outfit and her demeanor changed.
She had on a black cloak with a sleeveless turtleneck crop top, the collar covered up part of her face, and a pair of black leather shorts. Her black leather boots clicked as she walked towards the wreckage. "It's been awhile since I've come out and play." Two scythes came out of her forearms; the souls of the forgotten could be seen as the light shined on the blades. "Now, whose first."
