Back with another chapter. It's gonna be a short one, but an important one.
Nothing more to say for now. Let's get started.
Guest: I don't have plans for a romance between them. They just know each other from the past. Kinda like in the DCEU. They've helped each other out from time to time.
Chapter 11- Godspeed's Plan
Nora and Stephen race back to the lair. When they had switched on their comms after finishing training, William left them know that the rest of the team had raided a suspected hideout of Godspeed and the Rogues.
The twins race into the lair and come to a stop in front of the team. Everyone looks at them, right as Nora and Stephen notice a new addition, who they recognize despite never having met him.
"Well. A surprise to see you here, Mr. Wayne," Stephen says.
"I decided it was time to get off my a** and do something. And I've honestly missed doing stuff like this," Bruce responds.
"Well, we greatly appreciate you coming to help us," Stephen responds.
"What did you guys find at the hideout?" Nora asks.
"Well, it had clearly been used by Godspeed and the Rogues. But it seemed like they had abandoned it. But only recently. And they had left behind almost 50 mercenaries for anybody that came snooping," John responds.
Bruce leans forward. "I suspect that they're preparing for the final stage of their plan. They probably moved out of the place to get ready enact the last part of their plan," he says.
"I agree with you, Bruce. But what could their plan to be is the question," Stephen says.
"Well, I got this while we were there," Zoe says as she holds out a USB drive.
"What's on that?" Nora asks.
"I got on their computer before we left and downloaded everything I could," Zoe responds.
"Outstanding. William, why don't you and Bruce go through what's on this drive and see if you can find anything that could suggest what Godspeed is planning," Nora suggests. William nods, and Zoe hands him the drive.
"I want the rest of you to get some rest. I get the feeling we're going to need it," Nora says.
(The following morning)
Nora walks into the lair, feeling very refreshed after a long night's sleep. Stephen is following right behind her.
As they walk into the control room, Nora calls out, "Hey, William. Bruce. Any luck with the drive?"
William and Bruce turn to look at them, and both of them have grave looks on their faces. Nora and Stephen's faces drop, and Stephen says, "Well, I'm guessing you found nothing good."
"I talked with William last night, and he said you thought Godspeed was planning to take over the United States. I agreed, but couldn't think of how he could do it, since both the White House and Capitol Building are heavily protected and have meta-human power dampeners. So, we searched the drive for any sign of what their plan could be," Bruce says.
"Okay. And I'm guessing you found something?" Stephen responds.
Bruce nods and pulls up some displays on the screen of a large building. "I found these on the drive. They're blueprints and design work on a recently completed convention center in Dallas. It was built to host large business conventions and other large scale events such as Comic-Con."
"Why would they have blueprints of a place like that? What does that place mean to them?" Stephen asks.
"Well, I was wondering the same thing. So, I did some research. And I found that in ten days, the President is going to be visiting Dallas, along with the Vice President and the Secretary of State. They're going to be meeting with the governor of Texas, and then they will be holding a meeting with political leaders from several Latin American countries, including Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Honduras, discussing various trade concerns. And guess where they're going to be holding the meeting?" Bruce says.
Nora and Stephen sigh. "At the convention center," they say simultaneously.
"Exactly. My idea is that they're going to try and use those bombs they stole to destroy the convention center, or at least enough of it, and kill the President and Vice President. William hacked Kord Industries and discovered they actually have more of the bombs than you first thought," Bruce says.
"Well, where are they gonna put the bombs? They don't have any bombers to drop them with, and I doubt they could smuggle that many into the convention center," Stephen says.
"I did some research into that. I discovered that there's an extensive network of tunnels underneath the entire area where the convention center is. Some are sewer tunnels, but others are tunnels built by a major crime lord that overran Dallas about 15 years ago. His organization used the sewers as a way to avoid police and get just about anywhere, and they built a number of other tunnels themselves, turning the sewers into a maze. Other criminals have used them over the years, and all efforts by the police to try and map the tunnels have been failures. For the most part, the tunnels have been abandoned except by sewage workers for a few years. If they can get the bombs into those tunnels, they can situate them right below the convention center and detonate them whenever they want," Bruce explains his theory.
"Well, that's just great. How are we ever gonna find the bombs if they're down there? If the police haven't been able to figure them out even after years, how are we gonna be able to do it within days?" Nora asks.
"Well, if we had bomb-sniffing dog or something else like that, it would be easy," Stephen says, a little sarcastically.
Suddenly, the twins perk up, and turn to each other, grinning. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Nora asks.
"I think I am," Stephen says.
William and Bruce look at each other in confusion, then back at the twins. "Please do not tell me you're planning to steal a bomb-sniffing dog from the military or police," Bruce asks.
"No. We have a much better idea," Stephen says before he and Nora race off.
William and Bruce look at each other, both feeling very confused.
"I have no idea," Williams says. Bruce just shakes his head.
(Downtown Detroit)
In an alley near a Ford Motor Company factory, three burglars are sprinting as fast as they can. Behind them, they can hear what sounds like the cry of a big cat. Glancing behind them, they can see their pursuer gaining on them far faster than any human should be able to run.
They cry out in fear and try to run faster, but it's not much longer before their pursuer is upon them. She grabs one of them and throws him into the wall of the alley, knocking him out. The other two burglars turn to try and fight back, but their pursuer easily blocks their blows and knocks them both out.
She looks down at her victims, feeling a little proud of herself. Then, she suddenly hears a familiar sound behind her, followed by a male's voice calling, "Vixen!"
She turns around to see Nora and Stephen standing a few feet away. She smiles a bit and says, "Well, if it isn't the speedster twins. I haven't seen you two in a few years."
"It's good to see you too, Danai. But we're not here to catch up. We need your help," Stephen says.
"Really? What do you need my help for?" Danai asks.
"Well. We're fighting an evil speedster who wants to kill the President and take over the United States," Stephen says.
Danai stands there a second before shaking her head a bit and saying, "I'm sorry, say what now?"
"There's this speedster called Godspeed who's leading a team of supervillains. We think he's planning to use some experimental bombs that he stole to blow up a meeting of political leaders that the President, Vice President, and Secretary of State are going to be attending," Nora explains.
"Please tell me you're joking," Danai says in alarm.
"No, we're not. We've located the building where the meeting is being held. And it turns out there's a network of tunnels under the area. We think that the bombs they're going to use to blow up the meeting are gonna be put in those tunnels. We know you can use that totem of yours to summon the spirit of any animal. We were hoping you could help us by using your powers to track down the bombs," Stephen says.
Danai still looks alarmed, but quickly calms and nods. "Alright. I'm in," she says.
Stephen and Nora grin. They've finally got everything they need to stop Godspeed.
And that's where I'll end.
I came up with the idea to introduce a new Vixen after I finished figuring out what I wanted as Godspeed's plan to take over the U.S. I thought of how the team would be able to track down the bombs, and Vixen came to mind. This new Vixen is the daughter of the present day one that we saw help Oliver against Damien Darhk. I chose the name Danai when I happened to be looking over the cast list for Black Panther, as Danai is the first name of the actress who plays Okoye. As for who portrays her, I imagine Kylie Bunbury in the role.
Alright. The final battle will take place next chapter. It may be split into two chapters. Not sure yet. We'll see how long next chapter ends up being. For now, leave a review, and stay tuned for the next chapter. I plan to to update every one or two days until the story is done.
