Chapter 21- Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Earth-1, Keystone City
A boat docked near the city, though no one came out, as the sound of a gasp was heard, followed by a slice.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Jason Voorhees walked out of the boat, holding his bloodstained machete in one hand, having slaughtered the entire crew once they had come near the city, the captain being killed last.
Finally, he was in Keystone City, and now it was time to kill Rene Ramirez, who had disrespected his mother by escaping him.
Looking around, Jason saw some woods nearby, as it was the outskirts of the city still. Perhaps he could find someone there, including Rene. Woods were his specialty after all, considering he had lived and murdered in Camp Crystal Lake for so long.
Dinah Drake was lying in a cabin that she frequented sometimes in this city, to relax in between her vengeance missions against Sean Sonus, whom she kept following through various cities, and right now, he was in Keystone City to do some dealings, and so she was here too. Dinah was going to find him one day, and kill him once and for all for what he had done to her beloved Vince.
And he was going to feel the pain she had felt until his dying breath.
Wondering what to do to hurt his business this time, Dinah decided there was one thing she could do to get her brain running.
Walking out of the cabin, Dinah looked at the water nearby, and stripped herself of all her clothes, including her inners, until she was fully nude, her beautiful, nubile body at full display now.
Taking a runup, Dinah rushed towards the water, and leapt inside, doing some skinny dipping, as she felt the water touch her skin, while she relaxed herself, now letting some thoughts run through her brain.
Finding Sean's dealers and beating them up was something small, she needed to track down big shipments he was doing, and stop those, that would really hurt the guy.
After a few minutes, feeling like she had enough, Dinah came out of the water, deciding to let the sun warm her first, and dry her up, while she waved her hair, water dripping off of her naked body.
She turned to the water again, before thinking there was someone watching her. Thinking some perv in the woods was trying to stalk her, Dinah covered her womanhood with her hands, looking here and there for her potential stalker.
Then, she heard something behind her, and turned around…only to see a cat meowing.
"Awww!" Dinah said, finding the cat cute. "You're a cute little thing, how did you reach the woods?"
She started lowering herself to pet the cat, but the cat meowed again and ran off, confusing Dinah, who stood back up, shrugging. "Weird."
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
That moment, Jason Voorhees grabbed Dinah's neck from behind, his strong grip preventing her from moving even a little.
Dinah tried to open her mouth, to use her sonic scream somehow to push them both back, which could free her from her assailant's grip.
But Jason's grip was too strong so she couldn't let out a proper scream, and he was quicker, as he stuck his machete between her legs, making her gasp in pain as she felt blood dripping down her legs, while Jason moved the machete up, making Dinah gasp again, her abdomen and chest slowly being sliced, while blood poured out of her mouth.
Eventually, Jason reached her head, and her body was chopped off into two, the two halves falling on either side of him, a pool of blood between those.
Jason then walked off, disappearing into the woods, while another female jogger, who was jogging through the woods, reached the area.
Then she saw Dinah's chopped body on her way, and did a double take, before screaming in complete horror.
Unseen to her, or even Jason when he was leaving, someone had arrived in the area right when Jason had finally chopped Dinah Drake into two.
A young woman, with messy light brown hair.
Carrie White had seen the final stage of Jason Voorhees' murder of Dinah Drake, and she had seen him walk off. She had never met Jason before in person, but she had heard stories about him, and what he looked like.
And what he had just done…she knew it was the same Jason Voorhees she had heard of.
She was too late to save Dinah, but she was going to find Jason, and stop him.
With that, she walked off, trying to follow Jason's trail.
Rene Ramirez and his wife Laura, along with their daughter Zoe, sat across from Rene's father, with whom Rene had come to try and reconnect, and perhaps make amends for what had happened in the past.
"So you got dishonorably discharged, huh?" Jake Ramirez asked, a hint of condescension entering his voice.
"I was doing what you taught me to do in such a situation", Rene said with a shrug.
"Don't give me lip, boy!" Jake snarled.
"Stop!" Laura cried out, causing father and son to look at her, as she gestured to the frightened Zoe. "We did not come here for this."
"He is giving me lip", Jake said with a snarl.
"I have been trying for weeks here to get something going, but with you, it just never sticks, dad", Rene told him. "I guess this was a mistake."
"You were a mistake, boy", Jake told him while pointing at him.
That moment, the TV, that was on, started showing a reporter giving some news, causing the two turn towards it, as the reporter said. "The following image is graphic. Viewer discretion is advised."
"Take her out of here", Rene told his wife regarding Zoe.
"Yeah", Laura nodded, walking out of the room while holding Zoe, as Rene and Jake saw the image of a naked woman who had been split into two, some blurs to hide her privates of course.
"This woman was found dead earlier today by a female jogger in the woods. Her identity is unknown as of now, but from what the forensics have confirmed, she was split into two with something like a machete. Who did this is unknown for now, but…"
Rene suddenly started shivering, sweat dripping from his forehead, the split body of the woman replaced in his sight by the body of his friend.
He was no longer in his father's home, he was in Camp Crystal Lake, screaming in horror while near the body.
"Silence!" Jake cried out, snapping Rene back to reality, as he realized he was still in his father's room.
"Are you all right, Rene?" Laura asked, walking back in as she held his hand, while looking at Jake. "What did you do?"
"Nothing, he is just a coward who screams on seeing a body on the news", Jake mocked his son.
"Shut up, dad", Rene said to him, causing Jake to give him a glare.
"What did you say to me?" Jake inquired.
"I said shut up!" Rene stood up, glaring at him. "You might have taught me to take a beating…but you don't know what I've seen. This was clearly a mistake. Goodbye dad."
He'd heard stories of Jason, and how he kept coming back in spite of seemingly being put down for good. And the kind of murder he'd seen…only Jason had the strength to pull it off.
Jason was here now, so it was best to run back to the Glades in Star City, his home.
"Let's go, honey", Rene said, and she nodded, as the two made their way out, where Zoe was waiting.
"What happened, daddy?" Zoe asked out of curiosity.
"Nothing", Rene assured her, before looking at her, then looking ahead.
Jason Voorhees was here, most likely, and it was best to run. But…he had just decided to disown his father over how bad of a father he had been.
He wished he had a good parent he could look up to, but he did not. However, if he ran right now, leaving Jason to massacre more people, wouldn't that just make him the coward his dad said he was?
Rene was still scared of Jason. Even after the things he had seen in the United States Navy, Jason Voorhees was the one who terrified him.
But he had joined because he wanted to serve his country, and protect. Even if he was dishonorably discharged now, he still felt it was his duty to protect people.
And if he ran, he would be doing just the opposite of that.
He was going to be the kind of father his daughter could look up to.
"Listen", Rene looked at Laura. "Could you stay at any hotel for a bit? I need to do something."
"What?" Laura asked.
"Its nothing", Rene assured her. "I'll let you know when I'm back, but please."
Laura looked conflicted, but she knew if her husband wanted to do something, there was no talking him out of it.
"All right, but be careful please", Laura said, Rene nodding, as they shared a kiss, before he knelt to Zoe.
"Daddy is gonna be away for a bit, but I'll come back soon", he said to her, and she nodded.
"I'll wait for you, daddy", she said, both of them sharing a hug, before parting as Rene stood up, seeing Laura and Zoe walk out, while he walked to his dad's closet.
"Don't think you'll need these anymore, old man", he whispered, before opening the closet, looking inside to see if there were any weapons, as he would need more than the guns he had.
There were none, he realized, making him groan, except some hockey sticks, as his dad used to play, and there was a hockey mask too.
Rene shivered when he saw the hockey mask happened to look exactly like the one Jason wore.
But…if he was afraid of a mask, how would he face the real deal?
It was time to face his fears now, and overcome them. Reaching his hand out, Rene grasped hockey mask, and put it on himself.
Then, he picked up a hockey stick, and shutting the closet, walked out of his father's house, never looking back once.
In a cabin, Tommy Jarvis was having dinner with his wife Megan Garris-Jarvis, and their two sons Timmy and Tucker.
Tommy was looking through his phone briefly, when a news article caught his eye, about a murder in Keystone City.
Eating his last bite, Tommy opened the article, going through the 'viewer discretion' bit to see the image, and was surprised by the body split into two, and he read through more details of the murder.
Sighing, he stood up, looking at Megan and gesturing outside, before he walked off, and she followed him.
"What is it?" Megan asked him.
"A woman was murdered in the woods near Keystone City earlier today", Tommy told her. "Split into two, sources say with a machete."
Megan's eyes widened. "You need to be really strong to do that."
"And who do we know who is strong enough to pull his off?" Tommy asked her.
"No…" Megan whispered. "You really think he is…"
"Most likely, yeah", Tommy groaned. "Again!"
"Are you going to go after him?" Megan inquired.
"I think I should", Tommy sighed.
"I know you've taken on him before, but it could be dangerous", Megan pointed out.
"You're right, so I won't be going alone", Tommy revealed to her. Tommy had started a conspiracy theory website regarding Camp Crystal Lake and the legend of Jason Voorhees, and through that, he had met more people who had survived Jason.
He was not going to call Ginny and Paul, because they were expecting a baby right now. But he knew someone who could give him an advantage against Jason.
So, walking ahead, he dialed a number, and put the phone to his ear, as after some ringing, the person on the other end picked up.
"Tommy, what's the matter?"
"I think Jason is back, Tina, and he in Keystone City", Tommy revealed to Tina.
"Really?" Tina Shepard asked from the other in shock.
"Yeah, really, the murder I saw on the news, it has Jason written all over it", Tommy told her. "I'm gonna go to Keystone City, wanna come with me?"
"If it means putting him down again, definitely", Tina agreed. "See you then."
"Thanks Tina, and see you", Tommy said, before cutting the call, as he looked at Megan. "Tina is coming with me. With her powers and my skills, we will get him."
"I know, just…be careful", Megan said, before kissing him on the lips, and he returned the kiss.
The two parted, Tommy telling Megan. "Stay with the kids."
"I will", Megan assured him, as Tommy walked upstairs to gather his supplies.
Earth-205
Dean and Sam were driving around in the Impala again, looking for a new case, when the former got a call on his phone, causing him to stop the car as he looked at the caller and smirked at Sam, confusing him, before picking it up.
"Didn't expect to hear from you after all this time", Dean had to say to him.
"I didn't either. I heard you were supposed to be dead, Dean."
"I was. Then I got better", Dean shrugged. "So, why do you call us?"
"There's a creature in this city, it is…unlike anything I've seen, and dare I say, unlike anything you've ever seen."
"That might be a bit of a stretch", Dean commented, considering by now they'd faced or met multiple creatures and beings- Wendigos, Rawheads, Shtrigas, Daevas, Vampires, Crossroad Demons, Djinns, Rakshasas, Werewolves, Zombies, Changelings, Shape-Shifters, Pagan Gods and then even a Prince of Hell and a White-Eyed Demon, plus they'd met Angels, and knew God existed too, and they'd met people from and in another world, been in a Musical, and met doppelgangers of people they knew! And Superman!
"Okay, knowing you two, it might be, but there's no record of this creature anywhere."
"What is it, even?" Dean inquired.
"I think I'll explain better when you get here, please, come here fast, I can't do this alone."
"When you admit you need help, it says a lot", Dean had to say. "We're on our way." He cut the call and turned to Sam.
"Who was it?" The younger Winchester inquired.
"You're about to see", Dean smirked, before driving off.
Earth-199999, New York City, Baxter Building
Susan was watching the news. "A once war-torn nation riddled with poverty, Latveria, now free from the tyrannical rule of the Fortunov family after more than eighty years, the country has begun to flourish under the new monarch. Yet, with the change in leadership, comes a new player in the arms race. Latveria, weeks after the coup, have begun to produce new, advanced weaponry that have made the economy grow to new heights. The country may have been freed and life grows better for the people of the nation, but at what cost when this same country has now begun to rise as a new global superpower with technology equal to Tony Stark himself? Images of Latveria's new king have been scarce, but we have been managed to procure this."
A blurry picture of someone garbed in a green cloak and hood was shown, with nothing else being made out, but Susan gasped, knowing who it was.
"Sue!" She heard Reed call her, causing her to change the channel.
The man walked in moments later, "Susan could you..." the genius stopped when the blonde turned to him, "are you okay?"
"Yeah, fine, why wouldn't I be?" Sue said quickly.
Reed's eyes squinted in confusion but he waved it off. "Never mind, we need your help installing a new security mechanism."
"Can't Ben do that?"
"From the outside."
"...oh." Sue then understood the need and got up, following Reed to his lab, only to see Johnny trying to peak under the large object hidden under the tarp. "Johnny!"
"SIS!" The younger Storm jumped back from the tarp, fires popping up over his arms and shoulders, burning off his t-shirt and jacket in seconds before he was left with ash covered jeans and the top half of his plain blue suit with black collars and vambraces, still the only thing that can withstand their powers. "Ah man, I just bought those."
"Johnny." The aforementioned Storm looked up and winced at the sight. Both Reed and Sue with their arms crossed looking like disapproving parents, and his sister having the beginning of her scary face on. "I told you it wasn't ready."
"But you said that weeks ago!" Johnny whined.
"Room. Now." With two words a finger pointed to the hall, Johnny bowed his head at his sister's command and sulked off.
"Actually, I was gonna ask he-" Reed held his tongue when he saw "the look" turn to him. "You know what, it's fine."
"Good, now what is it you needed?"
Earth-1, Keystone City
Jason Voorhees was sneaking around through the city, still looking for Rene, when he turned to a back alley, seeing two dealers handing meth to some customer of theirs, while taking his money.
Seeing that, Jason was filled with rage.
Drugs. Stupid teenagers either did that, or that thing called sex where they got naked and thrust into each other.
They needed to die, for his mother.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
The man who had taken the meth was walking off, about to sniff some of it, when suddenly, there was a swing of the machete, and the man screamed in agony, his hands chopped off, the meth on the ground, blood pouring out of his stumps, as Jason stood in front of him.
As he continued to scream, Jason grabbed him by the throat, and slammed him to the ground, before smashing the man's face with his boot, turning it into a bloody splatter.
Tilting his head, Jason then looked at the nearby building, into which the dealers had already walked. This was where the drugs were made, so it was time to kill some more.
He slowly marched towards the building, standing in front of the door.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Let The Bodies Hit The Floor by Drowning Pool plays
Tilting his head once more, Jason kicked the door, busting it down, while he walked inside, as one of the dealers looked at him in horror.
"What the fuck?" He cried out before taking out his gun, and shooting, only for his horror to increase as Jason was unaffected. "What is this? What the…?"
As he fired more times, Jason marched up to him, and slashed his face, killing him on the spot.
The gunshots were heard by the other thugs inside on the upper floor, who realized something was up.
"Find the disturbance", Sean Sonus ordered his men.
That moment, a machete burst through the ground, stabbing one thug in the leg as he screamed in agony, and then the ground burst as Jason pulled his machete out, the thug falling down and hitting the ground, breaking his neck.
The thugs watched in horror, and started firing at Jason, staggering him back, before he powered through it, and climbed up to where they all were.
As they continued to fire at him, Jason reared his hand back, and slammed the machete onto one thug's head, killing him there, then pulled the machete out, before grabbing one thug by the throat as he ran out of bullets.
"Fuck you!" The thug said, pistol whipping Jason's hockey mask, but Jason pushed him back, and then swung his machete, slicing his throat, while he fell to his knees, then fell to the ground, dead.
Jason turned to one more thug, who had run out, and threw his gun off, before taking out a knife, but Jason pushed him, making him fall down. He staggered up, rearing his hand back to stab Jason in the heart, but Jason grabbed his hand, and twisted, making him scream in pain.
Then turning the hand around, he made him stab into his own neck, making him fall down as he started slowly dying of his wound.
As another tried to fire at him, Jason grabbed his arm, and ripped it clean off, the force throwing the man off as he fell through a window and died on hitting the pavement.
Jason looked at the arm, and turned to see one thug trying to one trying to run off. Jason threw the arm at him, and it stabbed into the man's back, making him scream in pain as he fell down.
Jason walked towards him, and turning him around, picked him up, then pushed him back onto the ground, causing the hand to protrude from his chest now.
The thugs were all horrified now, knowing nothing they could do would really put Jason down
As one tried to run past Jason, the hockey-masked killer picked him up with one hand, while stabbing another thug so hard he was sent flying off and hitting the wall, breaking all his bones.
He ripped off the head of the one he had picked up as well, letting the body fall to the ground while he crushed the head to a pulp.
As another tried to run, Jason grabbed him and slammed him into the wall, before stabbing through his face, the machete protruding from the wall's other end, before Jason pulled back out.
He saw another trying run off, but he stabbed him from behind, the machete protruding from his abdomen, as blood poured out of his mouth, and then Jason pulled out, letting his body drop too.
Two thugs were trying to sneak out of the broken window when Jason punched the lights overhead and yanked out the light bulb pole, before swinging it with quick speed.
It cracked the back of their heads, making them fall down, while Jason towered over them, seeing one was still breathing. He held the pole over his head, and slammed it down into his heart, the upper end still touching the loose wires of the ceiling
Touching the wires caused electricity to run through the pole as it charred the thug's body, and his bleeding heart beat faster, before exploding, coating the walls, Jason's mask, and the remaining thugs who were still trying to flee, with blood.
One thug got out a rifle, and fired at Jason, but he yanked the rifle out of the thug's hands, and slammed the butt of it into his skull, letting the limp body fall down.
Then Jason saw three more fleeing, and grabbed a nearby desk, flinging it across the room, crushing all three of them due to his power as their spines and necks broke.
One more tried to run past Jason, only for Jason to punch into his chest, lifting him up like that, while grabbing his heart and crushing it in his hand, killing that thug as well.
Sean Sonus was the only one left now, horrified by the carnage here, and as Jason looked at him, Sonus used his powers, inducing vertigo in Jason, as Jason staggered around, feeling woozy in the head.
Taking the opportunity, Sonus tried to sneak away past him, but he did not count on Jason recovering quickly, since Jason was much more resilient than normal humans.
Grabbing Sonus by the throat, Jason dragged him near a vat of liquid nitrogen, and dunked his head into it, letting it stay inside for a minute, then pulled it out, seeing Sonus' face was completely frozen.
He smashed Sean Sonus' frozen face on a desk, shattering it into pieces, with blood on the table too.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Seeing his work was done, Jason decided it was time to go, but as he stepped forth, he saw a woman with messy, light brown hair block his path.
"Hello Jason", Carrie White greeted him, while tilting her head. "I am here to stop you."
Jason tilted his head too, looking like he was challenging her, then hurled the machete at her.
To his shock, the machete stopped in midair, then changed course, before flying right at him instead. Jason held forth his hands, grabbing the machete and trying to stop it from slamming into him.
Carrie looked at the broken wood around, and using her powers, hurled some of it at the machete's hilt, and then, slammed an entire table on the hilt, causing the machete to stab through Jason and protrude from his back.
But to Carrie's horror, Jason pulled the machete out, and marched towards her again.
She held out her hand, trying to stop him in place, and he was pushed back by a bit, but seemed to power through it.
Seeing the pole, Carrie used her powers to slam that onto Jason's chest, and looked at the wires above, which came down, and touched the pole, now shocking Jason as he convulsed violently in spot.
Carrie watched, hoping this did the trick, as Jason fell down, seemingly dead, smoke rising from his chest.
As Carrie stood there for a few minutes, she sighed in relief, thinking Jason was gone. Then, to her horror, his fingers twitched, and then he grabbed the pole, ripping it out of himself, and hurled it at Carrie.
Carrie barely stopped it, and shattered it into pieces, while Jason kicked the vat of liquid nitrogen at her instead.
Carrie stopped the vat, and turned it towards Jason, making the liquid splash in his direction, but Jason weaved out of the way in time, and the vat and all the liquid nitrogen fell outside instead.
Then, Jason marched towards Carrie again, remembering the last time he'd fought someone with similar abilities, many years ago.
Carrie held out her hand, and Jason slowed down, feeling his heart stop slowly, as he fell to his knees, then dropped to the ground, seemingly dead again.
But it did not last for long, as within a minute, Jason got back up, Carrie realizing she could not put him down by herself now.
As he marched towards her, Carrie looked at the roof, and it collapsed upon Jason, crushing him underneath, as Carrie backed off, and ran out of the building.
The rubble was not going to keep Jason down for long, so she was going to call an old friend for help.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Jason burst out of the rubble he had been crushed underneath, standing up while holding his machete, and walked ahead, getting out of the building, not finding Carrie anywhere nearby.
Now not only Rene, but this woman was going to die at his hands as well.
Earth-21, Metropolis, LexCorp
Malcolm had just finished telling the rest about Savage, and he gestured to the ashes. "Now, I'm planning to bring him back once more." He smirked and made his offer. "I think he'd make a good addition to this venture of ours, gentlemen."
Lex sat, his face showing how calm he was. "I met someone like him once." Lex thought of Dr. Curtis Knox. "Perhaps this Vandal Savage is his doppelganger."
"What was his name?" Malcolm inquired.
"He called himself Dr. Curtis Knox, he was immortal, from what I found out, he'd fought the Mayans, fought in the Crusades, he was Jack the Ripper, and he was also in the Nazi Party", Lex listed out everything Knox had done. "He was targeting meteor freaks with high concentration of Kryptonite in certain organs, to transplant those organs into his dying wife's body and keep her alive. I shot him 6 times, he survived. He was later stopped by Superman, who wasn't Superman at the time, and he accidentally damaged the equipment keeping his wife alive. Haven't seen him since."
"From what I've found out, Savage did use Dr. Curtis Knox as an alias once", Malcolm revealed, Lex smirking.
"So they are doppelgangers after all, meaning I knew our Savage", Lex realized. "From what you speak of him, I am sure he will be of good use to us."
"I am going to put these ashes into a Lazarus Pit to accelerate his regeneration process. The one I used has been destroyed, but I've found out three more", Malcolm confirmed. "Vandal Savage shall be joining our endeavor soon."
"We are going to be a legion", Zoom said in his usual tone.
"Lex, a word?" Zemo asked him in a whisper, as the two got up, walking to a corner. "I'm not sure we should work with another person with powers. Zoom is one thing, but Savage has enacted many horrors upon the human race in the past. We started this venture to stop the abominations plaguing our worlds."
"Sometimes the only way to stop a monster, is by becoming one."
"And how far must we go before we forget we were once humans?" Zemo inquired, pointing out Savage's more sickening traits. "He is an animal, Lex. That...thing, is a cannibal! He even created other monsters in his world, and you want us to work with him?"
"I don't want to work with him, I want to use him." Lex grabbed hold of Zemo's shoulders. "He has four thousand years of experience, he knows his world better than anyone else, even Malcolm, and he can't be killed. We have a chance to gain a valuable new member to complete our mission."
"That's just it, it's our mission, not his. After thousands of years of killing, conquering, and eating his way through history, you think he will be satisfied in following someone else? Mortals?" Zemo asked rhetorically.
"We can control Zoom."
"Because we made sure disobedience would be impossible."
Lex sighed, scratching his cheek before looking at the Baron. "Then when the day comes for Vandal Savage to live his last life, I leave that to you." He walked away without leaving Zemo a chance to reply.
There was no need though. Lex had given his support. Zemo was to plan for Savage's death.
He had some thinking to do.
Earth-1, Star City, the lair
Oliver was alone in the lair, with the exception of Barry, as the rest had gone home, and he was preparing to go too, until Barry had arrived, and both were sitting across from each other.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Oliver asked Barry.
"Its Patty", Barry said, Oliver's eyes lighting up at the name. "I needed your opinion."
"On what?"
"Should I tell her?" Barry inquired, Oliver immediately realizing what he meant.
"Barry, I am not sure if I can give the best advice here, I haven't really been in a long-term relationship with anyone who didn't already know who I was beforehand", Oliver pointed out to Barry.
"I know, but still", Barry requested. "I'm conflicted. I think I'm…."
Barry trailed off, but Oliver knew what he meant. Still, it was Barry's decision when he wanted to say it out loud.
"Barry, if you do", Oliver started. "And you think she is trustworthy, and ready for this life, then you can tell her. I don't think you'll lose anything. Besides, Flash doesn't even have a bad reputation the way I had as the Arrow back in my earlier years, even if it was due to people exaggerating what I did, but either way, I think you can work it out."
Listening to him, Barry thought his doubts were at least starting to clear. "Thanks Ollie."
That was when Quentin walked in, and saw Barry. "Oh, hello. Didn't expect to see you here."
"Hey Captain", Barry said as he got up and shook Quentin's hand, Quentin shaking it back.
"So, the kid knows you're the Green Arrow?" Quentin asked Oliver in surprise, before his eyes lit up. "Last year, there was a report of Arrow and Flash being seen together." He turned to Barry. "And it was when you were in the city." He smirked. "You're the Flash, aren't ya kid?"
Barry stuttered, amusing Oliver, as Quentin shrugged while tapping his shoulder. "I'm a detective, I can figure things out."
He turned to Oliver. "But I came here to see you."
"Why?" Oliver inquired.
"There are some brutal murders being committed in Keystone City right now", Quentin explained to both of them. "And, some people are suspecting its Jason Voorhees."
"The Camp Crystal Lake killer?" Oliver asked in shock, getting a nod from Quentin. "What's he doing in Keystone City?"
"I don't know, but from what I read of the murders, sounds like it could be him, or someone like him", Quentin told him.
"And why are you telling me this?" Oliver asked then.
"There was this kid I caught tagging a building when I was a beat cop, but I didn't arrest him", Quentin told Oliver. "I told him he could be better. And since then, I've stayed in touch with him for a bit. I heard he is in Keystone City right now. And, get this…he had gone to Camp Crystal Lake as a teen years ago. His friends were killed, but he escaped."
"You think Jason has come to Keystone City to finish the job?" Oliver inquired.
"I don't know, but I'd appreciate it if you looked into this", Quentin said to Oliver.
"What's his name?"
"Rene Ramirez."
During that time, Barry was reading texts he was getting, and replying to them, before he turned to the other two. "So, a friend of mine from Keystone City said she needed my help with something. And it is Jason!"
"Well damn!" Quentin muttered.
"Who is this friend?" Oliver asked Barry, and Barry sighed, realizing there was no point in hiding it.
"Carrie White", Barry told them both, as they shared a look of surprise.
"The girl who was the center of attention in the infamous Black Prom incident from 2002?" Quentin asked, Barry nodding.
"I heard she was dead", Oliver said.
"Actually, no", Barry said while shaking his head. "She faked her death, and moved from Chamberlain Main to other places, before settling down in Keystone City."
"How do you know her?" Oliver asked the big question.
"Remember I'd told you I'd taken down Shrapnel last year in Keystone City?" Barry asked, Oliver raising his eyebrow and nodding.
After becoming Flash, up until his first encounter with Reverse-Flash, Barry still went around in other cities during his spare time to investigate any meta-human sightings by himself.
Shrapnel was the bomber Oliver had taken on in his second year, and later Waller had killed him when he was trying to run away during a Suicide Squad mission.
However, what no one had known was that before coming to Star City, Shrapnel had been in Central City the night of the Particle Accelerator Explosion.
He had been struck, but had shown no signs of having powers…until Waller had blown up his head.
That was when the dark matter energy had reacted, as well as side-effects of a particular kind of explosive that he had used, causing his mind to be dispersed amongst the fragments of metal left over from exposure to that particular radioactive signature, which he eventually used to pull himself back together into a more coherent form.
When Barry had heard of a meta-human who could project metal plates from his body into explosive bursts, he'd gone to Keystone City to investigate, sometime after the incident with Bette Sans Souci.
There, he had encountered Carrie White, having known of her due to reading up on the incident.
They had teamed up, Barry revealing his identity to her, since he knew who she was, and finding that she was actually good, while that massacre had happened because pig's blood falling on her and dunking her body and dress, and her prom date dying from the bucket falling on his head, had sent her into a trance, and then she had caused all those deaths without actually being in control.
Since then, she had moved around after faking her death, controlling her powers, and repenting for what she had done.
Carrie had used her powers to keep Shrapnel's pieces apart, and Barry had taken them far off, burying them in places where he could not pull himself back together even if he tried.
However, Barry had told Oliver that he himself had taken down Shrapnel, to respect Carrie's privacy.
"Well, I hadn't done it alone, I met Carrie then, found out about her, and she knows who I am, she helped me take him down", Barry finally confessed. "I didn't tell you because I was respecting her privacy."
"Its fine Barry, I understand, you kept my secret too", Oliver assured him, before looking at his bow. "I guess its time to go to Keystone City now."
Earth-92, Los Angeles, Hyperion Hotel
Angel and Cordelia were both looking at baby Connor after lulling him to sleep as Cordelia quipped. "We finally got someone in this building more adorable than Fred."
Fred blushed and chuckled at that, as the rest smiled at her quip too. While Connor would be in danger due to various factions wanting to use him, and Angel still thought about Darla's sacrifice for their son at least once every day, this moment, right here, right now, it was good.
Angel had his son, and his team, and Cordelia's head-splitting visions were gone due to whatever the Powers That Be had done to her when she'd fallen into a coma.
"It has been quiet around for a week too", Gunn added, when Cordelia grasped her head, feeling something.
"What happened, Cordy?" Fred inquired.
Cordelia saw a vision in front of her eyes, of a strange, disgusting looking creature climbing a building. The creature seemed to have an exposed and expanded brain, no skin, and a barbed tongue, as well as talons.
She was glad she wasn't getting head-splitting visions anymore.
"You know, Charles, my man, I think you jinxed it", Lorne had to say to Gunn, as Cordelia looked at the rest.
"It was a creature, a very disgusting creature, it climbed a building, and I don't think it has good intentions", Cordelia told the group.
"Did you recognize the building?" Wesley asked her.
"Yeah, I know which one it is", Cordelia confirmed.
"Let's go then", Angel said, handing over baby Connor to Lorne.
"Meanwhile, I'll take care of our little nipper", Lorne said with a slight smile, rocking the sleeping Connor as the rest of the team prepared to go out and face this creature.
Earth-199999, New York City
Parker and Hardison slammed their hands down on the table in front of Eliot, sitting there, looking far from impressed.
"Tell us what happened!"
"No."
"That ain't good enough!" Hardison grilled the Hitter, who looked more confused than anything. "We want the truth!"
"We can handle the truth!" Parker growled with the Hacker as they both leaned close on either side of Eliot.
The man himself looked at both of them. "What the hell do you guys watch when I'm not around?" Eliot got out of his chair and walked around Parker, making for the door with a relaxed posture. With how long they've known each other, and how nosy they are, they should know that Eliot had passed SERE training and set records. They need to do better than this.
"Oh come on, man, at least-" A door slamming shut cut Hardison off. Huffing, the couple crossed their arms and stared at the door. "We need a new strategy."
Parker tilted her head and mulled. "I have an idea."
Parker's head
Eliot was tied up in a trunk, wriggling to get free, while above him, Parker and Hardison stood at the edge of the hole, watching with smirks.
Real world
Hardison knew that smirk, and he unconsciously shivered. "Whatever you're thinking of, don't."
Disappointment filled the Thief before shrugging it off. "You're right, it wouldn't work anyway, he'd just escape." Hardison could only imagine what plan she concocted to make Eliot fricking Spencer break...actually no, he can't imagine what Parker can. He tried once or twice, he was popping aspirin like tic tacs to fix that headache. "By the way, now that we're back, I need you to do something."
"Oh, so now you try to take advantage of your devilishly handsome boy toy?" Hardison wiggled his eyebrow and made to embrace his girlfriend, but a hand on his chest stopped him.
"Not that something." Parker jerked her head towards his laptop. "That something."
"...that makes slightly more sense." Hardison mumbled as he slid into his seat, flexing his fingers to warm them up. "What can I do for you, my lady?"
"I need you to find my student."
Parker waited for Hardison to do his thing, only for the monitor to stay the same. Not even the mouse moved. Confused, Parker looked at her boyfriend, taken aback by the eyes nearly popping out of his skull and mouth open in horror.
"YOUR WHAT?!"
Tony was nursing a glass of orange juice that did little to hide his eye roll. "Would you let it go already?"
"How can I? Grimm is talking smack and you didn't even try to defend me!" Rhodey's voice, coming from the holographic avatar in the opposite seat on the jet, was almost as childish as Tony's when he's in his moods. Almost.
"Rhodey, you do realize you fly a metal suit worth millions of dollars and armed to the teeth with weaponry to level armies?"
"Doesn't seem to stop that rockhead from thinking he can turn me into a tin can!" At this rate, Tony would need more than orange juice for the coming headache, but he promised Pep and the Avengers he'd moderate his drinking. "I want an upgrade."
"Oh, so now, you want me to touch your suit?" Tony questioned. "Which, let's not forget, was originally my suit that I let you have."
"Hey, if Grimm's packing as much as a punch as you said he is, then I'll need to tip the scales in my favor." Rhodey said, and Tony was at a loss at the rivalry.
"How did this whole thing even start?"
The deadpan could almost be felt through the hologram. "How did the past vs future thing with Steve start? Or the magic vs science with Thor?"
Tony made to open his mouth, but stopped, paused to think, and sighed. "Fair point."
"How's that new project of yours going anyway?"
Scratching his beard, Stark could only shrug. "Slow, but I expected that from the beginning. It was nice to see the old place though." The "project" was something Tony started after their encounter with Clark and Bart. He kept it hidden from the rest, and only considered telling them after they got Steve back. He based the idea out of his old home in Malibu. Guess he was more nostalgic than he admitted. Cap could never find out, or he'll never let Tony live it down. "What about you though? I hear things have gotten hairy in Europe."
Rhodes scoffed. ""Hairy" is an understatement. Change always brings trouble, problem is though that no one knows what kind of trouble we're dealing with."
"Latveria?"
"Any attempt to get ears on the ground or in the air was caught before we even knew what happened." Rhodey said seriously. "I can't go in, the brass fear it could cause an international incident, maybe even war."
"It's a small country."
"So was Vietnam." Tony had no comeback. "What I've heard about this new king though," Rhodey rubbed his face through the projection, and Tony could make out the nervousness, "let's just say I don't want to take any risks."
That concerned Tony. Rhodey was a cautious guy, especially compared to Tony, but he was never nervous like this. Sighing, Tony helped himself to another glass. "Well, if you need a hand, or hammer, or arrow, shield, stinger, or whatever, you know who to call."
"Thanks, Tony. I'll see you soon." Tony and Rhodey ended the call, and the hologram disappeared.
This Latveria problem was starting to grow, and Tony would rather be prepared for the day it came to a head. But he still had a few hours before reaching New York in the jet, and he wanted to take the time to relax. As long as another world hopper didn't show up that is, he just hoped Cap, Thor, and the spies could manage wherever they disappeared to. Barton needed time after the whole android attack, as did Steve when he recognized the remains of them from the observatory. He said they were different to what he saw on the alien planet, but they resembled the machines he saw, and the guns were identical, then the guy disappeared for some R&R, not that they could blame him. Whatever happened over there affected Cap, Tony could see it, as did the others.
Leaning back, Tony closed his eyes and prepared to settle in with a nap, he'd been working his brain hard lately. Before that, he did have to do one more thing. "JARVIS, do me a favor and start compiling everything we know about Latveria, past and present."
"Already on it, sir."
"You're the man, J."
"Technically false but the compliment is appreciated."
Tony snorted. "Don't get snarky on me, pal, that's my thing."
Universe-208
'Maybe I should have laid off after the heart-to-heart.' Quinlan thought to himself as looked at the doors back into the holding bay of the shuttle. After one too many jokes, questions, or maybe the half-Vampire just didn't like talking, but Blade retreated into the interior of the ship to escape the Jedi.
On further thought, maybe he does talk a lot, he hadn't been around people for a while, well, friendly people. Last time he recalled having a decent conversation was with Kenobi, he did hope the Negotiator's campaign on Umbara worked out well.
Other than Clones, he hasn't had much time to talk, he was always on missions for the Council. This outside the galaxy business was becoming an awful pain.
There was no stopping these portals. They kept popping up, and Quinlan was taken out of the war effort to contain them. His job was to find them, contain them, possibly even close them if he could, and bring back anyone that came through if they could go back. Unfortunately, not all of them were friendly, and he had to throw them back through the portal and try to use the Force to shut those portals.
It was not as easy as it sounded.
Blade was the only one he'd encountered not close to a portal, and felt very differently in the Force, enough so that even Dooku had an interest in him. He wondered if there was another reason for his selection.
Sure, there weren't many Jedi with Quinlan's skillset, he was not as powerful as Windu or Skywalker, but few in the Order could operate like he could. Well, there were some, but he didn't trust the infamous Dark Woman. Perhaps someone could question his manner with the Clones. Why should they? They were only Clones.
Getting back to his original train of thought, Vos remembered Blade suddenly standing up and retreating deeper into the ship to escape him. Part of the Kiffar Jedi was a little bit insulted, and a little bit hurt, before shrugging it off, until about the fifteenth hour into the flight.
He peaked in twice, hours apart, and both times, Blade was on his knees, mediating, the rectangular hilt of the Darksaber in front of him. If he hadn't felt the ripples around him, or the fact he had no Force-sensitivity, Quinlan would have believed he was a Jedi, once you ignore the other weapons that is. Even Quinlan couldn't meditate that long, unless the time called for it.
There were still hours before they would reach Coruscant. There had to be something to do to fill the time.
Inspiration hit the Jedi, before he knew it, he was out of the pilot's chair and marching into the cargo bay, his lightsaber flying into his hand, activating, the green blade coming to life with a hiss as he swung it down.
And it was stopped by a flat, black blade surrounded by a white aura that crackled.
"Good reflexes." Quinlan complimented before kicking Blade's chest. The Daywalker grunted from the hit, but used it to roll to his feet before drawing his pistol and pulling the trigger. Hand raised, and much like the Sith Lord, Quinlan used the Force and stopped the slugs mid-air.
"The fuck are you doing?!" Blade growled at the Jedi, keeping his gun trained on him.
The dozens of slugs were released from the telekinetic hold and dropped to the floor. Quinlan circled around them, Blade moving in tandem, his gun never lowering. "Thought this would be a good way to pass the time."
"By trying to take my head off?"
"You're a good swordsman, Blade, good enough that you caught Count Dooku off guard."
"So I was beating an old man-"
"You were never going to beat him." Quinlan stopped circling, as did Blade, their original positions now switched. "The Force aside, Dooku was one of the greatest swordsmen the Jedi Order ever produced. Equal to our Grandmaster."
"You say these things like I'm supposed to know what they mean." Blade pointed out, making Quinlan sigh.
"Look, man, using the Darksaber let you fight him for a moment, but Dooku would have beaten you, even with my help. The man has fought better opponents than us." Quinlan meant it. Dooku fought both Obi-Wan and Skywalker together, they were some of the Order's best, before them, Dooku fought Yoda to a standstill, and when still a Jedi, Dooku sparred with Windu, and they never had a conclusive victor. "Take his skills into consideration, he can amplify himself with the Force, makes him stronger, faster, not to mention the lightning." Blade twitched at that. He never felt so much pain course through every part of his body, and he'd been impaled more than once and nearly drained of his blood. "Consider this a lesson. You can swing a sword no problem, but the lightsaber," Quinlan raised his own before flipping the hilt into a reverse Shien grip, "is a different beast."
"Works pretty good for me." Blade flourished the blade like he would his own sword.
"You can tell the difference though." Blade didn't respond. "The only weight is in the hilt. Only a Force-sensitive is able to fully utilize the strengths of the weapon. You're different, as is the Darksaber, use it to your advantage. However, Dooku's got his eye on you, so it's better you understand the basics." Quinlan spun the hilt in his hand, raising a two-handed grip above his head and the blade angled upward and behind him, his right leg held back.
"I know how to fight."
"New galaxy, new rules."
Blade stayed silent. He hated to admit it, but Vos was right. Any warrior knows the risks of using a new weapon. The Daywalker shifted his feet and raised the Darksaber into the kasumi no kamae stance.
"Lesson number one: don't get cut."
"What kind of fucking lesson is that?! I already got stabbed by one of these motherfuckers!"
"...this is gonna be a fun class."
Earth-1, Keystone City
Tommy and Tina had both arrived in the city finally by car, and were driving around, as Tommy asked. "You sense anything?"
"No", Tina shook her head, before her eyes widened, as she realized something. "I think I do."
"What? Is it Jason?" Tommy inquired.
"No", Tina said. "Its…someone like me!" She pointed at an alley. "There!"
Tommy stopped the car, and the two got out, only for Carrie to aim her hand at them, before Tina raised her own hands.
"Were you the one I sensed?" Tina asked.
"I sensed you too", Carrie revealed. "You are…you are like me."
"I am", Tina said, lowering her hands. "Who are you?"
"You tell me first", Carrie shrugged. "What are you lot doing here? With that gun?"
Tommy looked at the gun on his belt, and shrugged, lifting it up. "Its for someone."
"I am Tina", Tina gave her introduction. "This is Tommy, we are looking for someone."
"And who would that be?" Carrie asked.
Tommy realized there was no way around it, and told her. "Jason Voorhees."
Carrie's eyes widened. "I'm following him myself."
"Where is he?" Tommy asked immediately.
"I tried to fight him, but he was too strong, so I buried him under some rubble and escaped, I'm trying to find him again since then", she revealed. "My name is Carrie."
"Carrie…as in Carrie White?" Tina asked, Carrie's eyes widening. "The one behind that…."
"….Yeah", Carrie confessed.
"I thought you were dead", Tommy said.
"I faked my death, now I live here", Carrie confessed to Tommy.
"Did you really kill all those people?" Tina inquired.
"I wasn't in control", Carrie confessed, holding out her hand. "You are like me. Touch my hand, and you can tell."
Tina held out her own hand, and grasped Carrie's, the latter's memories and emotions flooding through her.
Flashes of syringes and fluids, the prayer closet, Carrie's religiously fanatical mother abusing her, the meteors falling, the bullying in school, the period, the tampon prank, then Tommy Ross asking her out, the conversations with Sue Snell, Carrie growing as a person and standing up to her mom, and going to prom.
Then her bullies did a prank, dropping pig's blood from a bucket above on her, causing her to go into a trance, while the bucket fell on Tommy's head, killing him.
After that, she was unaware of everything, just using her powers in a trance, and she caused many deaths.
By the time she came back to her senses, she was back home, not having realized what had happened. Then her mom had tried to drown her, but Carrie had stopped her heart, then seemingly died, until Sue Snell had revived her.
Then at Sue's suggestion, Carrie had faked her death, and had been driven to Florida by her, and from there, she had moved from place to place, having some adventures.
Tina noticed the town of Derry, Maine and the remote Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rocky Mountains within Carrie's memories too, and even in these memories, she felt strange feelings of evil from both the locations that made a shudder run down her spine.
Then she saw Carrie settling down in Keystone City, controlling her powers so that a tragedy did not happen again, and she had played vigilante, stopping some criminals, even teaming up with Flash once.
She seemed to know who Flash was, but that she held back from Tina, which Tina respected, since that was his secret to tell.
Then she saw the fight with Jason, and staggered back, holding her head while Tommy supported her. "You okay, Tina?"
"She is telling the truth, she is not malicious", Tina assured Tommy. "And she is trying to find Jason too."
Then, there was a speeding blur, and Barry stopped nearby, Oliver alongside him.
"….Flash!" Carrie cried out happily, embracing Barry, who hugged her back.
"Hey Carrie", he said warmly, as they parted, while she looked at Oliver next to him.
"Green Arrow too, nice to meet you", Carrie said, holding out her hand, that Oliver shook.
"What are you exactly?" Oliver asked Carrie.
"A meta-human", Carrie said.
"And how is that?" Oliver asked, turning to Barry.
"From what I looked up, there were some minor but extreme experiments long before the Particle Accelerator, that also made meta-humans", Barry said. "Nothing concrete, of course. Something like that might have happened with Carrie."
"I did see flashes of syringes and fluids in her memories", Tina confessed.
"Who are you two?" Barry asked, turning to them.
"I'm Tina", Tina gave her introduction. "And since you know about Carrie's powers, I'm like her too." She wondered if she'd been experimented upon too sometime, not that she could remember.
"My name is Tommy", Tommy said, while looking at both of them. "Never thought I'd meet Green Arrow and Flash in person."
"What are you two doing here?" Barry inquired.
"They are here to hunt Jason as well", Carrie revealed.
"We survived him before, we are here to end him", Tommy revealed.
"Well, now you have help", Oliver said, before spotting something out of the corner of his eye in the other alley, and the rest turned, seeing someone in a hockey mask standing there.
On seeing them, he ran, but Barry sped after him and stepped in his way, stopping him, and soon enough, the rest had surrounded him too.
"You aren't Jason", Tommy noted. This guy was too short to be Jason, and he carried a hockey stick rather than a machete. "Why are you wearing his mask?"
Sighing, Rene took off his mask, revealing his face.
"Rene Ramirez?" Oliver questioned in shock.
"How do you know who I am?" Rene asked.
"Lance sent me to check up on you", Oliver revealed. "Why are you wearing a mask like Jason's?"
"I heard he was in the city, so I decided to run, but then I decided to stay, get over my fear, and fight him, so I wore this mask to face my fears", Rene revealed.
"Do you know anything about where he is?" Tina asked Rene, but he shook his head.
"Well, we need to find him", Tommy noted. "I have dealt with him twice before, and I know him best out of us." He looked at the rest. "And from what I know about all of you, I can think of a plan."
"I'm listening", Oliver said, conceding to Tommy's leadership here due to his experience with Jason.
Earth-205, Star City
Dean stopped the car on seeing a familiar person, Sam smirking, though he'd realized who they'd be meeting when they had entered this city.
The two got out of the Impala, looking at a man with a goatee, dressed in all green, including a hood, with a bow and a quiver full of arrows.
"Still wearing that ridiculous stuff?" Dean asked the Oliver Queen of Earth-205. At least his doppelganger was dressing up like that due to being a vigilante. This guy roamed around in the open like that with no mask!
"Its not ridiculous, its practical", Oliver retorted to them.
"Yeah, right", Dean shrugged.
"Why is no one onto you still?" Sam inquired.
"Just acting like I'm cosplaying Robin Hood, and I'm considered not normal around here anyways", Oliver pointed out with a shrug of his own. "Besides, as long as I'm not hurting a human being or anything, I'm on the right side of the law."
"So, what's this creature?" Dean asked, the three beginning to walk together.
"Don't know much about it", Oliver confessed. "But when it started attacking, I used my resources to find out how it started."
"What did you find?" Sam inquired.
"Apparently, a couple found a weird egg in their garden randomly", Oliver revealed. "Some creature launched out of it onto the husband's face. The wife freaked out for hours, then the creature just let go and wasn't seen again."
"And, what's the problem exactly?" Dean asked next.
"The husband and wife were having dinner and another creature burst out of the husband's chest", Oliver revealed, horrifying the two brothers. "Yeah, I'd the same reaction. Then it turned bigger, and is now killing people."
"Sounds like something all right, definitely not faced anything like this before", Dean agreed, when a radio Oliver had started beeping.
"Isn't that the thing that keeps you connected to the police frequency and messages?" Sam asked, just to be sure.
"It is", Oliver confirmed. "Maybe the police have already found it."
Universe-208
Quinlan launched his attack, one hand gripping the lightsaber, swinging at Blade's head and he blocked, his blade becoming a green blur as he moved to his undefended right side, the Darksaber blocking with an inverted underhand that moved to the left side when Quinlan fluidly moved his blade there, stepping forward with the attack while Blade stepped back. Blade then moved the locked plasma weapons over and attacked overhead like the Jedi originally did, which was blocked just like the Daywalker performed.
They made to continue the practice before Quinlan felt the ship exit hyperspace, which Blade clearly did not know based on how he looked around. "What was that?"
"We're here." Quinlan deactivated his lightsaber and placed it back on his waist, Blade doing the same with the Darksaber. It was still strange to see such a different kind of lightsaber. At least the saberstaffs and Shoto lightsabers resembled the usual lightsabers, the Darksaber was unique in nearly every way. It wasn't the only unique thing in this galaxy. "Got to say, you're pretty good for a beginner."
"Not my first time using a sword." Blade stated. The tattooed Jedi gave the tattooed Vampire Hunter a look, and the man had the decency to concede. "But you were right. It is different."
"We're making some real progress here, not just with lightsabers." Now it was Blade giving him the look, making him cough awkwardly before moving to the flight deck with Blade beside him. "At least now you got the basics of Makashi understood. Granted, I'm no master of the form."
"It's a lot like fencing where I'm from." Blade said to him. It did resemble swordsmanship styles back on Earth, so did a few of the other moves Quinlan used, even that Ataru style of his seemed similar to parts of Wushu swordplay. They spent hours teaching the hunter the finer art of the lightsaber, or Darksaber in his case. It proved fruitful, hopefully more so in case he had to fight the old man again.
His thoughts were halted when he saw the planet they were heading towards.
"What the fuck is that?"
The Jedi looked at him oddly. "Coruscant. You know, the planet we've been flying towards for the past-"
"Shut up."
"Long flights make you grumpy?" Blade stared at him from behind the shades. "You're grumpy." Blade only grunted while Vos looked forward to the planet-wide city. "Wait until we get to the surface."
Blade said nothing as other spaceships soared across Space, something he was still having trouble with believing, even with all the time spent around the Mandalorian ships. A voice came from over the comms, Vos quickly dealt with it with his identification and was let through, but he noticed the tightness in his voice when he responded. Thinking nothing of it, Blade only continued to watch as they quickly descended from orbit to the surface.
Blade's mouth opened but he could not find the right words. The asshole next to him was chuckling at the reaction, he knew this would happen.
"Welcome to Coruscant, the Jewel of the Core Worlds."
Staring across the city, with flying cars and skyscrapers that dwarfed even the Empire State Building, only one word escaped the Daywalker as they flew across the vast and endless city.
"Motherfucker."
Earth-199999, New York City
"So this teenager, this little girl, stole your phone…"
"Tried to!"
"….and now, you wanna make her your sidekick?"
"Pfft, of course not." Parker scoffed at the idea. "I want to teach her."
"..." Hardison's brain was stuck loading like an overworked computer. Unfortunately, the computer was having a better chance than him.
"Is it so hard to believe?"
"That depends, can you believe the Hulk turning pink and wearing a tutu while singing to the best of Trish Walker?"
"She only had that one song."
"Answer the question!"
Parker threw her hands up. Was it seriously so hard to believe she could mould a young person's mind and thieving skills? "Me teaching someone the right way to steal is more believable!" She yelled at him passionately.
Hardison's hands raised in surrender. "Okay, girl, geez. Just give me her name." Parker opened her mouth, but then Hardison turned back around. "Wait, hold on, give me a description instead, I want to have some fun here."
Rolling her eyes with the hint of an amused grin, the details came to Parker easily. "Blonde, blue eyes," Hardison typed away on the keyboard after every word, "about 5'4, designer clothes probably stolen if the label was anything to go by, and big," Parker grabbed her chest and gestured outwards.
"..." Hardison blinked at her with an otherwise emotionless expression before burying his head down to his computer. "Just give me the damn name."
"What's wrong with describing breasts?"
"The name, Parker."
"Felicia Hardy." Hardison worked his magic and within seconds, he and his girlfriend leaning her chin on his shoulder saw the information fill the screen, both Leverage members' mouths slightly agape.
"You wanna teach this?"
The sound of the door almost being broken off the hinges had the two spin to see Eliot having charged through the door, panting, and his eyes were wide and wild.
"PARKER HAS A WHAT?!"
Avengers Tower
Avengers Tower was empty, minus the people working in the lower levels. Each member of the team was away for one reason or another, the only occupant was the A.I. monitoring the globe and gathering information on his master's current inquiry: Latveria. However, it's sensors and monitors began to fail, JARVIS tried to reach out to signal Mr. Stark or the other Avengers, but his communication attempts were blocked. JARVIS could only witness through static filled cameras as an orb of green energy formed within the lab, before dissipating to reveal what he was unsure could be called a man.
A tall form in dark grey metal armor, entirely covering the body, a dark green cape and hood being the only decoration. The only thing not covered in metal or cloth were the eyes.
"I-I-I-I-I don't under-under-understan-who-who-who-" JARVIS's voice failed to project as he felt the entire tower being hacked, and the A.I. was losing control.
"Who?" The figure in the green cloak waved his hand, and like that, all power in the tower was switched off, before returning again the next second. Projections and data presented itself before the man clad in armor, with no A.I. to stop him. Cold, piercing blue eyes looked from behind the mask as the schematics of the Iron Man armor presented itself to him while beneath him, the armory revealed the wardrobe of metal suits created by Tony Stark himself. Yet, the man paid no mind to that as he focused solely on the designs.
"I am Doom."
Earth-1, Keystone City
A teenage couple were having sex in a car.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Suddenly, the door was ripped open, making them both scream, as Jason stabbed his machete into the guy, and it went through him, and through the girl, protruding from her back, as both bled profusely, and then Jason pulled out, letting their corpses fall inside the car, the blood seeping out of it.
With that, Jason walked off, looking around again, and reached an alley, when suddenly, a dash of red energy hit him, knocking him down momentarily.
The energy stopped, revealing himself to be Barry Allen, and as Jason got up, Oliver whacked his mask with his bow, slightly tilting Jason's head, as Oliver spun and kicked his chest, and as Jason tried to strike with his machete, Oliver dodged, then grabbed his wrist, and elbowed it twice, then leapt back and flip kicked Jason's throat, slightly staggering him again.
Jason swung his machete again, but Oliver leaned back to dodge it, then spun and leapt, kicking Jason's chest once more, and landed, as Jason tried to swing again, but Oliver took out an arrow and sliced Jason's wrist, making him drop the machete, before stabbing into his throat.
Jason grunted and pushed Oliver, sending him back and throwing him to the ground, before ripping out the arrow and crushing it, as he picked up his machete, only to be pushed back.
He looked up, seeing both Carrie and Tina trying to hold him down with their powers, and grunted on recognizing Tina.
"Hey!"
Jason growled, recognizing the voice as Tommy's, as Tommy appeared and struck Jason's masked face with a rebar, making him grunt, while Tommy then hit his arms twice, then hit his head thrice again.
"Remember me, Jason?" Tommy taunted. "You can come back all you want, but I'll always be back to stop you."
Then he struck Jason more times on the chest, and then his feet, and then his head again, before Jason started powering through, and broke free, making Carrie and Tina fall down, while he grabbed Tommy by the throat, lifting him up, about to crush him.
"Over here!"
Jason turned to see Rene standing there, and recognizing him, loosened his grip on Tommy. Taking the opportunity, Barry ran, and snatched Tommy from Jason's grip, letting him down as Tommy panted, holding his throat.
"You want me, right? Come and get me!" Rene taunted Jason while taking out his two pistols and firing, though Jason was barely affected as he walked towards Rene, who started running off, looking behind to see if Jason was following or not, and he was.
He reached near the water, and turned to see Jason marching towards him, firing again a few times, as Jason was unaffected and came close.
Then, from up above a building, Oliver fired three arrows at Jason, and all of them stuck into him.
Putting his pistols inside, Rene picked up his hockey stick. "Take that!" He gave Jason a good knock on the head, then ran off, as Barry circled around Jason, and with a roar, hurled a lightning bolt at him.
That sent Jason flying off towards the water, and just as he touched the water, the three arrows all exploded, taking Jason with them.
As Rene looked at the water, Barry sped next to him, Tommy, Carrie and Tina arriving too, as Oliver swung down, the group not seeing any trace of Jason anywhere.
"Did we get him?" Rene inquired.
"I think we might have", Barry shrugged, looking at Carrie. "Pleasure to work with you again."
"Same here, Flash", she said with a smile, while turning to Tina. "You are quite powerful yourself."
"Thanks, so are you", Tina told Carrie. "Was good to work alongside someone like me."
"I know the feeling", Carrie nodded.
"Good plan", Oliver told Tommy, who smirked and nodded.
"Good moves", Tommy replied, Oliver smirking too.
"I can't believe I met you two", Rene said, looking at Green Arrow and Flash, before turning to Carrie and Tina. "And two women with telekinetic powers." He looked between Tina and Tommy. "And more Jason survivors." He took off his mask. "Guess I owe you all a thanks, hoss."
"Lance said you were a good guy", Oliver told him, preparing to move off. "What you did today, trying to face Jason to protect others…that's a hero, Rene."
Rene couldn't believe what he was hearing, being praised by the Green Arrow of all people.
"….Thank you."
"If you need my help back in the Glades, you can call on me", Oliver then said, as Barry and Carrie shared a hug.
"Good seeing you", he told her.
"You too, take care", she said, the two parting, before Barry grasped Oliver, and sped them both back to Star City.
Later
There was a knock on the door and Laura opened it, to see Rene on the other hand. "Hey!"
Laura smacked his chest, then pulled him into a kiss, Rene returning it before they parted, and she said. "Don't do that again!"
"I did what had to be done", Rene assured her, then walked in as Zoe ran to him, and he hugged her. "I'm back now."
Tommy pulled up in front of his cabin again, seeing a familiar car nearby, and knocked on the door, Megan opening it, and smiling on seeing he was fine.
They shared a loving kiss, before he walked in, hearing his kids talking to someone.
He walked into the room, seeing his older sister Trish Jarvis there, the two having finally mended their relationship a year ago.
"Daddy!" His kids cried out, rushing to him and hugging him, as Tommy hugged them back, then looked at Trish, the two sharing a smile.
"Aunt Trish is here!" Timmy told him.
"I know, hi Aunt Trish", Tommy greeted her, as she got up and they shared a hug.
"Hey Daddy", Trish greeted back, the two parting, as Megan walked in, and they sat down to talk and laugh.
Earth-205, Star City
Dean, Sam and Oliver hid in an alley, and were horrified by what they saw.
Most of the cops that had come here were already dead, and a very large and disgusting creature was standing there. It seemed to have a dark exoskeleton, a long tail, sharp talons, and an elongated domed head with toothed mouth, and inside it was another maw, and right now, that maw was out, as the creature was holding a cop by the throat, and feeding on its brain directly with the maw.
"What the….?" Dean trailed off, absolutely disgusted, as were the other two. And, the creature just did not give off a vibe to them that it was of the supernatural variety.
Yet they knew it was clearly not normal. There was one more cop that tried to fire at it, but the creature impaled him on its tail, and hurled him away, right at the three hunters, who'd to duck to avoid being hit by the flying body.
Unfortunately, because of that, the creature noticed them, and roared, before Oliver fired an arrow, but it deflected off the creature's skin, to his horror.
"Oh boy!"
It charged them all as Dean and Sam fired at it, but it was unaffected by the bullets too, and continued to charge, before leaping right at them.
Using the opportunity, Dean and Sam ran off to opposite ends of where it'd land, as Oliver rolled forth and got onto the road, while the creature landed by Dean and Sam ran from it at that moment, making some distance between them.
It made to attack again as Dean hurled a pocket knife at it, but the creature deflected, while the two backed off, and Oliver fired another arrow, that did not affect the creature still, but that got its attention.
Oliver used a grapple arrow, and swung high, climbing onto a building, as the creature screeched at him and started climbing up the building.
"What do we do?" Dean asked, dumbfounded for once. "This thing is nothing like what we've seen before."
"I've one idea", Sam muttered, as he took out a flare, and lit it, then hurled it at the creature, that was still climbing. To their surprise, when that hit the creature, it let out a screech of pain, and roared down at them.
Dean quickly lit another flare as it jumped down, and he held it out at the creature, making it screech at them angrily, before it ran off, as Oliver used another grapple arrow to come down.
"Well…..that was something", Dean commented. "Good job, Sammy."
"So, fire is a weakness of it then", Oliver noted, narrowing his eyes. "We know how to stop it."
"Let's find it again first", Sam pointed out. "This time, we'll go in prepared."
Earth-1, Keystone City
Carrie drove her car around, looking for any other criminal activity, so she could stop them. Besides, someone like Jason, or worse, could show up too, and she'd be here to fight them.
Camp Crystal Lake
Friday the 13th soundtrack plays
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
Jason Voorhees, having regenerated from the explosion and lightning due to his zombie abilities, floated back to Camp Crystal Lake through the water, before crawling out, and standing up on the ground, ready to kill for another day.
Jason had done well. He had killed so many, on that ship, and then in Keystone City. He definitely lived up to his reputation.
Now he just needed a few more, and then, he would finally do what he wanted to do!
And we're done with one more.
Thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer and gussygus28 for their help once more.
So, Jason Voorhees finally did a massacre, hope it lived up to the expectations, considering how many people he has slaughtered.
While Sean Sonus and Dinah were met in Hub City, it was said Sean moved around different cities quite a bit, and Dinah followed him, so right now they were in Keystone City.
I'll be honest, while I think Dinah had potential at the start, and found her fine in Season 5, Season 6 onwards she became nothing but an annoying harpy who should have been written out of the show alongside Curtis.
Because of which, Jason killed her here, and she died in her birthday suit because Dinah's only redeeming quality is that Juliana Harkavy is attractive AF. Juliana deserved a better role frankly.
Carrie White is a character from a novel written by Stephen King titled 'Carrie', and it has 3 movie adaptations, including one in 1976 which is considered a horror masterpiece, with Sissy Spacek as Carrie, and there is a 2013 remake with Chloë Grace Moretz in the lead role too.
But this version of Carrie was from a 2002 TV movie where she was played by Angela Bettis. Unlike other versions, this Carrie survived the ending of her movie, plus she was in a trance when all the deaths happened, making her innocent of the massacre in a way. This movie was supposed to be the pilot to a TV Series that never got made.
But I hope all liked how that Carrie was used here, as well as the backstory with Barry, and Shrapnel was the same one from 'Arrow', he just got a more comic-booky edge to him here, thank you to Marcus S. Lazarus for that suggestion.
If Jason is here, Tommy Jarvis has to come, because he is the closest to an archenemy Jason has, and Tina Shepard is from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Fun fact- the movie makers wanted to have Jason battle Carrie White in the film, but were too lazy to make a deal with whatever studio owned Carrie to get the rights, so they made Tina, their own telekinetic character, to fight Jason, so they could have a Jason vs. Carrie thing.
That's the reason I was inspired to bring 2002 Carrie into this, so she and Jason could finally fight.
And there's also Derry, Maine, and the remote Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, also references to adaptations of Stephen King's work, in the former's case it's the 1990 miniseries and in the latter's case it's the 1980 film adaptation.
Yes, Paul is alive in this series. The 2nd Friday the 13th movie didn't outright show his fate, so I can keep him alive, plus him and Ginny deserved a happy ending.
Rene has entered the story too, and will be Wild Dog, and I'll keep him like he was in Seasons 5 and 7, since Season 6 made him annoying too. Hope his connection with Jason was enjoyed too.
So now Oliver, Barry, Carrie, Tommy, Tina and Rene have defeated Jason but he has survived, and will be back one day.
Meanwhile, Doctor Doom has entered the picture to do something nefarious, as we can see.
Parker, Eliot and Hardison also decide to find and teach Felicia Hardy.
Blade and Quinlan spar, and reach Coruscant.
Then there's of course Zemo not being sure of Vandal Savage being part of their group, but Lex asks him to make a contingency for that guy too.
On the other hand, SPN Oliver Queen finally makes his entrance, and him and the Winchesters are up against a Xenomorph from 'Alien', while Team Angel is gonna fight a Licker from 'Resident Evil'.
For SPN, this is still between 4x8 and 4x9, since I wanna do the 2-parter of 4x9 and 4x10 at a certain time. The show did take a break after 4x10, so its all good, we can pretend 4x9 and 4x10 happened then too.
Imagine Danny Trejo as Rene's father, Walker Scobell (when he was a pre-teen) as Timmy and Jace Norman (when he was a teen) as Tucker, thank you to gussygus28 for all castings.
Anyways, that's it for now.
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
