Holy crap. I honestly didn't think so many people would like this story. I expected about forty or so follows by the end of the day but it's almost at 130, that means so much to me. And to those of you who follow most of my stories and constantly leave suggestions and reviews, I may not get to reply to everybody but know this 'I see you' *insert winking He man photo* Anyways I'm glad you liked it and I present to you guys chapter two.
Naruto made sure to float down when he landed just passing the gates of Arkham Asylum. No need to let people know he was here. It hadn't taken him that long to get from his base to the asylum.
Naruto was dressed in a black short sleeve shirt over a black long sleeve shirt with pieces of black armor that covered his chest, shoulders, and back. He also wore matching black pants and black shoes.
He kept up his invisibility Jutsu that he had learned from Jiraiya and stealthily walked up to the two guards who were patrolling the area and proceeded to knock them out and replaced them with henged shadow clones.
With that done he quickly hid the bodies in the storage closet inside the building and resumed his mission. He kept up this same routine in every room he entered or any hall he walked down. Needless to say no one ever saw or heard him coming.
After ten minutes of walking around he finally found the correct cell block where he could sense Killer Frost being held. The poor security guard that was on his lunch break never heard Naruto enter his office. One moment he was eating his sandwich, then he felt a Karate chop to the back of the neck before everything went black.
"Well that was easy enough. Now let's loop these cameras and delete any footage that may give a clue that I was here." He said to himself as he took a seat on the man's chair. Turning his attention to the second monitor he noticed that it had every prisoner's name in a different block.
"This is what I'm looking for." Luckily enough the security guard was still logged in so all he had to do was click on Louise Lincoln's cell and click open. The sound of a heavy duty lock brought his attention back outside and he saw that one of the doors locking mechanism lights went from red to green.
"Time to say hello"
He walked over to the giant closed door and opened it. As he did so he heard a female voice speak up.
"Another dumbass here to try and teach me a lesson?" The voice said, amusement clear in her tone.
"It seems prison hasn't dulled your sharp tongue Frost." Naruto commented as he walked into the room, hands in his pockets. "Also to answer your question, no, I'm not a dumbass here to try and teach you a lesson."
Once completely inside Naruto was able to get a good look at his soon to be group member. She was wearing the standard orange shirt and pants all inmates are forced to wear with the words 'Arkham' in the front. Her light blue hair maintaining its health as well as her two strands on either side of her head.
She raised an eyebrow at who had come to see her. "Well if it isn't Ashura one of the goodie goodies of the Justice League. Shouldn't you be out fighting crime or something? Get the hell out of here." She said knowing he was one of the people she disliked.
Naruto chuckles at her response. "Goodie goodie? Don't they let you watch TV here?" With the door to her cell now open she had a good view of the TV and saw what he was talking about.
" Just an hour ago, the former hero and member of the Justice League announced his defection from the league. In the beginning it seemed like he was apprehending Clayface and preparing to turn him over to the authorities before impaling him through the skull. The man turned into dust quickly afterwards.
What he said next left everybody in shock. He said and I quote 'I'm done with the league, from now on any villain who kills innocents just like that will be permanently dealt with. No more Arkham, no more chances.' Shortly after he took to the skies with Hawkgirl giving chase. Our helicopters managed to capture the short battle. Take a look.'
Killer Frost's eyes had widened not only at what she had heard but also that he had attacked and beaten Hawkgirl with basically only one move.
" Now with Ashura defecting from the Justice League one thing is certain. Things are going to be changing very soon. This is Amy Foster channel seven news, back to you Tom."
Naruto turned the TV off and faced her once more with an amused look on his face now. "So what was that about being a Goodie goodie?"
"Well I didn't see that coming." She comments "Though what I still don't know is why you're here." She sits down on the hard bed and crosses her legs while leaning back. Her arms are still stuck in the power restraining cuffs.
"I've got a proposition for you."
"Well what is it?" She asks impatiently. Feisty this one.
"I'm creating my own group to do what the Justice League can't. In order to do that I need members. Which is where you come in. I want you."
She sat back with a blank look on her face as she stared down the now rogue justice league member. " Never thought I'd see the day where one of their own would leave because they couldn't kill. " She thinks, a small smirk now adorning her already beautiful face.
"What's in it for me?" She asks. She wasn't about to become a hero out of the goodness of her heart after all.
"I'll bust you out of here for one. I'll provide you a place to stay and food to keep you fed, plus you'll be going on missions constantly where you'll get to kill those I tell you too. That and as soon as I secure one of the other potential members you'll eventually get paid. So how about it?"
" Hm, that's not a bad deal. I'll have a home, food, still get to do basically what I do now, and I'll be getting paid? Not to mention he's not too bad looking. This could be fun. "
"Alright deal. Now get me out of here."
Naruto reached for the cuffs and in seconds he broke them. Using his affinity for Earth he was able to harden his hands and break the cuffs.
"Finally, now let me get my stuff from the warden's office. I can't stand to be wearing this bullshit any longer." She said as she walked into the office. Five minutes later she came out and Naruto took the time to appreciate her beauty.
She came back out wearing a blue one piece with a six-sided star design with a blue core. She had blue gloves that went up beyond her elbows that had white fringe at the top as well as knee length matching heeled boots.
"See something you like?" She asked teasingly, noticing him looking her over.
"Definitely. But right now we have to go." Having looped all the camera's there was no worry about any of them catching them walk out so he didn't use his camouflage technique.
Killer Frost looked over at her new leader and asked "So what now?"
Naruto put his hands behind his head as they walked and replied. "Now we head back to the base and see if Deathstroke got into contact with Deadshot."
That got her attention. She turned to him and asked for clarification. "Deathstroke? As in Deathstroke the Terminator?" How on earth had he managed to talk him into joining him? Not just that but he's also apparently getting into contact with one of the world's best shooters.
"Yeah, he's the first person who joined this little squad. Soon Deadshot will be a member too. I'll tell you more later now hold on." He said as they finally got outside.
"Hold on to wh-?" She was cut off as he picked her up bridal style and took to the skies.
The Watchtower was silent as everyone was watching the same report that was playing in Arkham regarding Naruto AKA Ashura's defection. After the clip of him taking down Hawkgirl Batman decided to turn the TV off.
"As of one hour ago Ashura went rogue. He not only attacked a member of the League but he also killed Clayface in front of multiple cameras. No doubt everyone in the world knows about this now." He says examining everyone's reactions. They had heard he had killed Clayface and defected but seeing it happen was something else.
"I can't believe he would actually go rogue." Said flash, a bit bummed out. Naruto was one of the few people who found his jokes and stunts to be funny. They got along pretty well.
"Unfortunately we have no choice but to believe it. He's also made his plans quite clear, on TV no less. He's going to start hunting those he thinks are unredeemable." Said Superman standing next to Batman. "We're going to have to bring him in."
"So you're proposing we send him to Arkham?" Asked green lantern who had been oddly quiet during the meeting. He always thought that the young man could have had a bright future ahead of him if he could only let go of his killing belief.
He had noticed how Naruto would react whenever they dealt with a repeat offender. He knew that the boy believed in killing them rather than just locking them up.
"No, not Arkham." Replied Batman. "I always had the feeling that he never showed the full extent of his powers to us. I don't think Arkham would be able to hold him. We'll have to put him somewhere where a league member will have an eye on him at all times. But in order to do that we'll have to wait until he strikes." He explained. He wouldn't tell anyone but he was a bit unnerved of the boy.
The power over elements was something to be feared. But the way that Naruto was able to combine elements and how he used them was what worried him.
"We can discuss how to contain him once we actually have him." Began Wonder woman, standing up. "Right now we should be asking what he's going to do next."
"He'll most likely be laying low, waiting for the next supervillain to attack. Once he does we'll have to get there before he kills him and apprehend him." Replied Batman. He had plans to deal with everyone who might go rogue, but Naruto was different as he didn't know any special weaknesses.
Superman sighed as he realized they weren't getting anywhere at the moment. "That concludes the meeting for now until we have a solid strategy. For now, just make sure you keep your eyes and ears open. If you encounter him, call for backup immediately."
Back with Naruto and Frost they had arrived at a rather large house, much larger than the one in Jump City.
"Who's house is this and where are we?" Asked killer frost as she looked at the giant mansion. It was a giant white mansion with many steps leading up to the front door. Two stories with a small balcony over the door with a garage large enough to fit more than eight cars. Not only was the house beautiful but so was the scenery. There were nice snow covered mountains behind the house.
"It's mine. Deathstroke no longer has any use of it and decided I could have it. As for your second question, we're in Switzerland. This is where the core members of the team will live, except Deathstroke, he decided he'd rather live elsewhere. But where we're going right now is actually under the house, come on." He replied.
The inside was as good as the outside. Giant stairs leading to the second floor in the center of the room with two hallways on either side leading to other parts of the house.
"The second floor is where all the bedrooms are. You can choose yours later, mine is the master bedroom of course. Though I'm willing to share." He added slyly at the end. She smirked at his words
"We'll see. Now where are we supposed to go."
They followed the left hall and through a few doors they came upon a set of stairs going down. They walked for a good eight minutes down some very dimly lit hall before they were at their destination.
She saw that it was in essence an underground lair. There was a big monitor surrounded by plenty of smaller monitors in the center. A large table with many chairs, no doubt where their meetings will be held and a large amount of free space off to the side. No doubt for some kind of training.
"You're finally here." Naruto looked up and saw Deathstroke who was donning his signature half black half orange mask and armor. "And it seems you were successful in bringing Miss Frost."
Killer Frost was a bit tense but managed to nod as a greeting to the world's most dangerous assassin. She had heard of how good he was and being this close to him put her on edge. She couldn't help but wonder how Ashura had managed to get him on his side.
"Deathstroke, was your mission successful?" Naruto asked as he sat on the computer chair and began typing.
"Yes, Deadshot will be here in two days. Said he had a job to do before then, he'll contact me before coming here so we'll be prepared for him." It was an easy enough job. When you had a reputation like his if you told someone you wanted to meet, they met with you.
"Good, we got one now it's time for the rest. I'm thinking we'll get Morrow next."
"Thomas Oscar Morrow?" Asked Killer frost from one of the chairs on the table. She had made herself comfortable enough as she had her head rested on her palm while she kept one leg crossed over the other. "Does anyone even know where he is? I thought he went off the radar." She asked
"He did, but I'm able to sense a person's life force. He's somewhere in the Rocky Mountains right now."
"Morrow? I thought you wanted to go after Mr. Freeze first." Said Deathstroke who was standing behind him looking at the profiles the blond had brought up.
"I planned on that but Morrow is more valuable at the moment. He's a genius, I plan to have him use his genius to bring in funds for us. I'm going to be paying all of you after all."
"What if he doesn't want to help you?"
"Trust me he will. He's in hiding right now but If I offer him protection from the League and anyone else he'll join in a heartbeat. That and he'll be able to provide advanced weaponry for us."
"You seem to have everything figured out there." Began Frost as she stood up and walked over to him. "What will you do about the Justice League right now though? They're going to be looking for you. After that stunt you pulled on TV you're most likely considered a criminal now."
"Right now nothing. I'm going to have to make sure to move in secret to not draw attention to myself. If I'm right Batman is waiting for the next villain to strike hoping that I show up and they'll get me."
"Sounds like something he'd think." Commented Deathstroke
Killer Frost chuckled as she realized his plan "You're not gonna go even if someone attacks, are you?"
"Exactly, until I've gotten the core members of the team assembled I'm going to stay out of sight and out of mind. Of course for the time being you're going to have to stay in the mansion too." He told her.
"Oh no, being stuck in a mansion with a giant bedroom, a stocked refrigerator, and a large pool that I can make as cold as I want. Sounds so horrible." She drawled out sarcastically.
That is one of the reasons he liked her. She had some bite to her.
"Deathstroke, for the time being see if you can get any information on what Batman's little sidekick is doing. Before I left the League I was hearing rumors that they were wanting to start a junior league of sorts."
"Really? How interesting. I'll have some of my spies keep their ears open. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be going now. Nice to meet you Killer Frost, welcome to the team." He said as he walked away. Once the footsteps were no longer heard Killer Frost let out a deep breath in which her breath was visible.
"God damn, that's one scary man." She said
"haha he's not so bad unless you piss him off, in which case people usually end up hurt. Anyways I'm going to go look for Morrow. Make yourself comfortable here and choose any room you want upstairs. If I need you I'll call you."
He said as he stretched and prepared to leave. It wouldn't take him too long. He could fly, that and if he manipulated the wind it would get him to his destination even quicker.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go choose a room then hit the pool." She and Naruto walked off at the same time and he took off. "Now where's that master bedroom?" she asked herself amused at what she was going to do.
So I'll stop there, not much action but he's begun the recruitment process. Now worry not, not everyone will join just because he asks the first time. Some will be harder to persuade than others. Also Naruto's hero name is Ashura as in his descendent. Don't worry I won't be bashing the league by having him constantly beat them into the ground or anything like that.
As for those of you who reviewed and left suggestions I really thank you, it helps a lot and lets me know what people want to see. Anyways the next chapter won't be as fast since I've got quite a few hours this week at work so I might take a bit longer and I'm going to update some other stories. Anyways leave suggestions or comments in reviews or PM me. Later.
