Chapter 18 Cold Comfort

Sean was in his usual clothes without the hood and mask at some museum seeing a new exhibit.

"Remind me again why we're here?" Sean asked Lane.

"An old contact of mine said he wanted to talk but said he'd only do it here." Lane said.

"Why?" Sean asked.

"Probably enjoys places like this." Lane said before seeing the bones of some old dinosaur. "Ultrasaurus?" Lane asked.

"Their still using that name? The name itself is a mistaken Identity. It's not actually real. It was given in 1979 because it was thought to be the largest of all dinosaurs. It was later realized that was a mistake because the bones were actually from two different species. But I guess people still use the term." Sean said.

"If it's fake why call it that?" Lane asked.

"Which is easier to Remember? Ultrasaurus or Brachiosaurus?" Sean joked making him scoff before they avoided getting hit with ice beams making them look seeing Freeze.

"Oh shit." Lane said as Freeze destroyed the bones horrifying people.

"Live in despair and..." Freeze tried to say before the bones started to repair themselves before the ice hit them which shocked him.

"Wanna try again?" Sean asked with his Gauntlet on.

"The Famous Ghost. Kruger if I recall correctly. I was not expecting you here." Freeze said.

"I get that a lot. Stand down." Sean said.

"Better proposition. Stop me or save the people." Freeze said blasting the ceiling with ice making large ice spikes falling making people scream before time stopped by Sean using the Time stone as Freeze and his crew ran off.

Sean growled annoyed before everything was back to as it was.

"The hell was that all about?" Lane asked.

"I have no idea. Thats out of character for him." Sean said.

Later

Sean was back in his home doing his usual workouts.

"You seem troubled." Diana said above him in only a black thong grinning at him.

"Hmph. I'm just thinking over what happened earlier. Doesn't make any sense." Sean said.

"You mean about Freeze?" Diana asked.

"Everything he did in the very beginning was to keep his wife alive. Then suddenly he starts doing this. It's like his whole MO has changed." Sean said.

"Perhaps he wants to make people suffer in a way as he has. Losing what people love or accomplished." Diana said.

"Maybe." Sean said before she sat down next to him.

"But why don't we focus less on someone you can easily stop. And more on this." Diana said kissing him.

"Tempting princess but I got something to do tonight." Sean said kissing her making her pout. "But I promise tonight though." Sean said.

"I'll hold you to that." Diana said.

"Wanna join me?" Sean asked.

"Sure." Diana said.

Later

"So you both think he wants to make people suffer the same way he has?" Bruce asked.

"It does hold logic. When you lose something you value so much you want others to feel that pain." Diana said.

"Or to prevent others from feeling it as well. Thats what we do." Sean said.

"True. But perhaps Freeze blames the world for whats happened to him and wants to take revenge. Any number of reasons could be the cause." Diana said.

"Only time can tell." Bruce said before the Mayor started speaking.

"In honor of the event, The Gotham City council has commissioned this work of art." Hill said.

Thats when Bruce spotted one of Freeze's henchmen or women to be exact.

"Keep an eye on things." Bruce said.

"Always do." Sean said as he left.

"It's now my great pleasure to present to you Giuseppe Bianci's, Twilight in Gotham." Hill said showing a masterpiece painting.

"Wow." Sean said impressed.

"Looks nice." Diana said.

Thats when Freeze dropped down with his lackeys.

Diana was about to jump in but Sean stopped her.

"Hold it." Sean said.

"Technique is extraordinary. How long did it take you to develop it? five years? Ten? A lifetime?" Freeze asked.

"No please! I can't paint another one! I'm too old!" Giuseppe yelled in horror.

"Yes, it's a pity." Freeze said about to blast it.

"Don't even think about it Vic!" Sean yelled jumping up with Diana.

"We meet again Kruger. I'm curious as to how you keep showing up on time." Freeze said.

"Chance. Now what is this about?" Sean asked with his Gauntlet ready.

"Despair." Freeze said blasting the painting making Giuseppe scream in horror while Sean rushed in and decked him hard before blasting him back.

"That was a mistake." Sean said before Batman dropped down.

"No. What is a mistake is thinking you can reclaim what you have once lost. Even with all the stones the pain will never leave. I would know." Freeze said before ice bombs went off everywhere before an Ice Spike hit Sean from behind making him yell before healing himself before turning back time for everything seeing the place was fine but Freeze was long gone.

"Despair? To Despair what?" Wonder Woman asked.

"We'll find out soon." Batman said as Sean narrowed his eyes.

Later

Caretaker was on the computer going over everything on Freeze. (A reminder incase people forgot he's from the Longest Yard along with several other Characters from that movie)

"Man this guy is making no sense at all." Caretaker said.

"Thats the problem. Everything he's done is completely new from what we usually would expect." Batman said.

"Before he did everything to keep his wife alive but lately he's been attacking everyone who have major accomplishments." Batgirl said.

"Maybe she had another accident and she passed away?" Robin asked.

"No thats not it. He's usually very careful when it comes to her. No, something else is going on." Sean said.

"We need to find out soon. Before he strikes again." Batman said.

Later

Sean was going over some things to look into reports about Freeze.

"Didn't see you in bed this morning." Diana said walking next to him in a black see through nightgown showing she was completely naked with a pleased smile on her face. "I was hoping for another round." Diana said making him scoff in amusement.

"I worry I may have turned you into a sex fiend." Sean said making her giggle.

"Hardly. So what is it?" Diana asked.

"What Robin said last night. About Nora being dead. It got me thinking. What if his condition is the reason he's doing this." Sean said.

"You mean he might be dying?" Diana asked.

"Maybe. His condition gets worse and worse by the day. Maybe he's reaching his end sooner than expected." Sean said.

"And you think thats why he's doing all this? If his end is coming he wants to make others suffer as he has?" Diana asked.

"Remember what Aresia did before we talked?" Sean asked making her frown.

"I haven't forgotten. Still thats different though. Aresia had good reason to do what she did. His reasons are more confusing." Diana said before his phone rang.

"Yeah?...WHAT!" Sean yelled.

Later

Alfred was in a chemical bath after he was frozen by Freeze when he came to the Mansion.

"Ok thats it. I'm done waiting around. We find him tonight." Sean said.

"And thats exactly what we're going to do." Batman said as Batgirl had placed a tracker on him when he left.

"This chemical bath is rather soothing." Alfred said.

"It's supposed to feel that way. The Chemicals sooth the body in order to relax it while it repairs the damage that was caused from the frost." Sean said.

"Right." Batman said.

"This has gone way over the fucking line." Sean said.

"His actions aren't making any sense. All the damage he caused was easily reversed because of the time stone." Wonder Woman said.

"He probably didn't account for Sean being here but won't back down from his anger." Batman said.

"So we go in and take him down for good." Robin said.

"You will stay here and keep an eye on Alfred of if Freeze comes back and tries again. Clear?" Sean asked making him groan before his position was found.

"Got him." Batman said.

"Ok lets get this over with." Sean said putting his gear on.

Later

Sean and the others arrived at some frozen meat factory.

"Of course." Sean said.

"Freeze needs to be in low level temperatures doesn't he?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Yes. But this isn't nearly cold enough for him." Batman said.

"Unless this is only a smokescreen." Batgirl said finding an elevator to go down.

Arriving further down it was colder.

"Still not enough for him. Whats he up to?" Batman asked.

"We'll find out." Sean said as they moved in.

Thats when Sean heard muffled cries as he opened a door before finding three people inside and freed them.

"Who are you?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Doctors. Freeze kidnapped us to stabilize his condition which we did. But he won't let us go."

"What about his wife?" Batman asked.

"She's perfectly fine in her current state."

"If both of them are fine...Whats all this about?" Sean asked.

"A simple answer for that Kruger." Freeze said as they heard mechanical footsteps before all four gasped.

"Holy lord." Sean said seeing him as just a head in spider legs.

"This is what I was referring to." Freeze said.

"What in the hell happened to you?" Sean asked.

"Guess." Freeze said.

"Your condition got worse. This is the only part of you that managed to survive." Batman theorized.

"Correct. And now I'll never be able to hold my Nora again. Theres no hope for me. Or for your precious City." Freeze said.

"Actually there is." Sean said.

"Do not test my intelligence. I have studied the stones for some time now. I know they have limits to their power. The Reality stone cannot make changes permanent. Those changes are only temporary unless powered by the Power stone to make them that way for good. And you only have Reality, Soul and Time. The other three could be beyond your reach." Freeze said.

"Exactly though. I can reverse the damage when I get the power stone." Sean said.

"No. It's Too late." Freeze said as his henchmen started attacking him.

"Find Freeze!" Batman yelled as Sean went after him.

Arriving in one room he found a helicopter with some kind of bomb.

"Uh oh. I think Freeze has a reverse nuclear warhead. Instead of Radiation it will send the City into a new Ice Age." Sean said.

"How right you are." Freeze said blasting him but he blocked it with fire. "Once I'm in the center of Gotham I will drop this and everyone will know despair...As I have." Freeze said.

"You know I can't let that happen." Sean said before using the time stone to freeze time. Then used reality to reduce the helicopter to dust and the device was made useless before he resumed time causing Freeze to gasp.

"RAGH!" Freeze roared before he found himself frozen solid by Sean.

"I think you need to...Chill out a little." Sean said chuckling.

"A little corny don't you think?" Batman asked walking in.

"Eh. I kinda feel bad for him. His condition may have stabilized but his mind couldn't accept we could help in a few years." Sean said.

"Sometimes you can't help someone who doesn't want help." Batman said.

"Mmm." Sean said.

Later

Freeze was locked up in a new more secure facility that Lane had that could hold him.

"He won't be getting out anytime soon till we find that power Stone. Any idea where it is?" Lane asked.

"In space somewhere. Along with the Space stone. It's the mind one I don't know." Sean said.

"No clues?" Batman asked.

"Thanos did something to it when he wiped out half the universe when he used them. In time we may find out." Sean said leaving.

Later

"So how long until the estate is finally finished?" Diana asked.

"In a couple of weeks. Why? Wanting to experiment?" Sean asked making her giggle

"Later for sure. But for now I'm content with the downtime we have." Diana said holding him making him grin. "Besides...Knowing how big it is. It would be a nice place to raise a family." Diana said making him smile.

"I made a few requests on that." Sean said.
