Chapter 135 Hunter's Moon
Its been a couple days since Clark lost his powers a second time. So right now he and his wife and son were on Krypton till his leave was up and try to make amends for his actions.
Currently Sean was walking the hall on Thanos's latest intel about the Regime but like before nothing was found which made him suspicious that they may be in another universe once more.
As he was walking he was suddenly grabbed.
"WHOA!" Sean yelled before being pulled into a room before his left arm turned into a cannon and aimed at his attacker who turned out to be Vixen who grinned at him. "Mari? Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea what this cannon can do?" Sean asked before it went away.
"Promises, promises." Vixen said.
"Why the ambush?" Sean asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Seems like the only way I can get your attention. We haven't gone out in nearly a month." Vixen said.
"It has not been that long. And things have been busy. What with Cadmus and Superman acting like an idiot." Sean said still pissed about that.
"Not going to argue about it honey. You owe me a date. Speaking of dates...When are you gonna ask Eda out?" Vixen asked making him sigh.
"Not this again. If she wasn't with the CIA I would ask her out." Sean said.
"You say you don't trust the CIA and yet...You trust your father's old resurrected friends Dillon and Hudson." Vixen said. (To my most Loyal Guest Reviewer Dillon is from Predator and Hudson call of duty Black Ops)
"Thats...Different. Their family friends who my dad trusts. Despite the fact Dillion abused that trust before he died." Sean said.
"If you can trust them I say you can give Eda a chance. After all she did fake her death to help Wildcat get out of Moneybags grip." Vixen said making him sigh.
"Alright fine. I'll ask her out some time later after Cadmus has been dealt with." Sean said.
"Good boy." Vixen said kissing him before she left.
"Ugh. I can never say no to any of them on matters like this." Sean said leaving as well.
At the bridge Talbot and J'onn were getting a distress signal.
"Say again?" Talbot asked.
"This is a distress call from the mining ship, Hockalint. We took samples from a vein of unidentified ore and that's when everything started going wrong."
"Slow down. What happened exactly?" Talbot asked.
"Radiation from the ore. Ship's main power is off-Line. We're stranded, and there's some kind of chain reaction taking place in the vein we took the sample from."
"We need the Data on the Ore." Talbot said.
"Transmitting for all the good it will do."
"It appears to be a simple hematite but iron oxide isn't radioactive." J'onn said as Sean walked in.
"Look at the atomic number, 676. It makes no sense."
"Wait a minute. I've seen this before. Shayera." Sean said getting her to fly up to them. "This what I think it is?" Sean asked as she looked at the Data.
"It's transuranic iron ore. Nth Metal, like my mace but unrefined What about it?" Shayera asked.
"We're stranded on a rock pretty much made of the stuff. Are we in any danger?"
"Sit tight, don't move, and don't touch anything. Prep a Javelin for me. I'm on my way." Shayera said about to leave.
"Hold it. I'm assigning a support team." Talbot said.
"Don't need one. I'll handle it myself." Shayera said.
"That wasn't a suggestion. You're not alone anymore so stop acting like you are." J'onn said.
"I'll go with." Sean said.
"I think its better you stay with us. Incase Hager or Cadmus tries to pull something." Talbot said.
"Fair enough." Sean said.
"Then I'll go." Vixen said walking in.
"Fine." J'onn said making Sean sigh as they left.
"What the hell did you do that for? You know Vixen still doesn't trust her." Sean said annoyed.
"I believe this will solve that. I'm assigning Hellboy, Turok and Vigilante to go with them." J'onn said making him sigh before leaving. "I've assembled a rescue party. Help is on the way." J'onn said to the miner.
"Signing off. I don't know how to thank you."
When the transmission ended the miner took off her helmet revealing herself to be Paren Dul one of the Thanagarians who invaded earth nearly 3 years ago.
"But I'm sure I'll think of something." Paren said grinning. (I hate this bitch)
Later
The Javilin was flying through hyper space with Vigilante driving.
"No, no, no. Reset your hyperdrive vectors." Hawkgirl said.
"Nobody likes a backseat driver, Ma'am." Vigilante said.
"You need 20 more hours before your certified to." Hawkgirl said.
"And some of us are already right certifiable." Vigilante said.
"Vig." Turok warned.
"Yeah I hear ya." Vigilante said before they came out of hyperspace. "Maybe you ought to try riding sidesaddle for a change." Vigilante said.
Hawkgirl was about to say something when Vixen stopped her.
"Let him be. Men have fragile egos. To get what you want, you have to know how to talk to them." Vixen said.
"I don't do that." Hawkgirl said.
"So I've heard." Vixen said before they landed.
"Odd." Turok said sensing the area before Vixen used her necklace to enhance her vision.
"Guys, I'm not seeing a mining ship out there." Vixen said.
"Theres nothing on sensors either." Hawkgirl said.
"I followed the distress signal just like in the manual." Vigilante said.
"Not saying you didn't, but this is weird. I'm not detecting any Nth Metal either." Hawkgirl said.
"Lets go have a look." Hellboy said as they got out and went into the mine.
Turok looked down and saw footprints on the ground making him narrow his eyes.
"Someone was here alright." Turok said before they went in the mine and Hawkgirl used her mace to light the way before spotted something on the bars meant to hold the mine up from collapsing.
"What is it?" Vixen asked.
"The shadow is fake." Hawkgirl said using her mace to run through the bars which turned out to be a hologram. "The whole mine's a hologram. We've been suckered." Hawkgirl said before someone started firing blasters at them.
"Fall back!" Turok yelled as they made for the Javilin but mortar fire came down on it destroying it.
"Aw crap!" Hellboy said before they moved up the mountain to take cover. (He really says that a lot in his good movies. The 2019 version sucked balls)
Vigilante started firing back at them but Hawkgirl pulled him down.
"Do you even know what your shooting at?" Hawkgirl asked.
"Nope. Just keeping them honest." Vigilante said.
"More like giving our position away." Hawkgirl said.
"If you got a better idea..."
"Shayera Hol!"
Hawkgirl looked over the rock and saw her own people who attacked the earth nearly 3 years ago.
"Paren Dul?" Hawkgirl asked.
"Friends of yours?" Vixen asked.
"Birds of a feather." Vigilante said.
"Did you really think you could get away with betraying the entire Thanagarian empire?" Paren Dul asked.
"Hold up. I thought we were the ones she betrayed." Vigilante said.
"It's complicated. Short version she saved the Earth from Total destruction." Turok said.
"You helped the Legion destroy my hyperspace bypass." Paren Dul said.
"Only to stop you from killing everyone on Earth." Hawkgirl said.
"That Bypass was our last hope. Thanks to you the Thanagarian empire was destroyed." Paren Dul said.
"What are you talking about? I heard the Legion completely annihilated the Gordanians." Hawkgirl said.
"That part is true...But they also attacked Thanagar as well." Paren Dul said shocking her. "Nothing to say traitor? Or hadn't you heard?"
"Hro. What happened to Hro?" Hawkgirl asked.
"After you and the Legion destroyed the Bypass we went back to Thanagar to plan out our next plan. When word had reached us that the Gordanians were wiped out we started to consider an actual alliance with the Legion...Then they attacked us and destroyed our entire fleet save for our ship. Hro and rest of Thanagars leadership were executed publicly by General Atriox and his Brutes. Now Thanagar is different. Full of peace loving fools instead of battle ready warriors." Paren Dul said bitterly.
"Turok...Is that true?" Hawkgirl asked.
"Yeah...Most of it." Turok said.
"The military council was stuck with two options. Either eliminate the whole planet and bring them back devolved or do what they did with the Kree and take out the leadership. Tom won the vote on that." Hellboy said.
"All we want in Shayera Hol. If you hand her over your free to go." Paren Dul said.
"Bullshit!" Turok yelled. "You'll just try to kill us to get back at the Legion." Turok said making her smirk.
"Smart boy." Dul said before she and her men started firing on them before they neared their position and climbed over the rock only to find them long gone making her growl.
"This is a waste of time. We should be heading home to remind the people what we really are." One of the troops said.
"Not until the traitor is dead." Paren said.
"And then what? It's not gonna change what happened." The trooper said before Kragger grabbed him. Ever since the failed invasion and J'onn forcing himself into his mind his mind wasn't what it used to be.
"No! We're here to kill Sheyara!" Kragger yelled.
"Calm down, Kragger. Calm down." Paren Dul said.
"We're killing her though right?"
"Of course." Paren said before he dropped him.
"Don't confuse me. My head doesn't work so good since...It doesn't work do good. But I remember, it's Shayera's fault." Kragger said.
"Right. She hurt us all and now we're gonna make her pay." Paren dul said before he took off and she pulled the solider up.
"I'm just saying. Shayera was an instructor in espionage back home and she was one of the high ranking commanders in the Legion for a reason. She's got more training then the five of us put together. Not to mention she's got backup including Kruger's younger brother." The trooper said.
"And thats her weakness. Her squad."
One of the Thangarians was flying right over the team and Vig was about to take a shot when Turok stopped him.
"What are you doing? I had him." Vigilante said.
"He's trying to draw us out. He wouldn't be flying that low unless that was his intention." Turok said.
"He's right." Hawkgirl said.
Soon they left the area hoping to find their ship to get back home.
"Hey, Turok. Aren't you supposed to be the best tracker the Legion has?" Vigilante asked.
"On Earth mostly or planets I've been to. I don't jack about this shit hole." Turok said.
"We're each gonna split up. Gives us a better chance to find Paren Dul's ship and use her radio to contact command." Hawkgirl said.
"Be a lot easier without all them birdfolk in the way. We should thin the herd first." Vigilante said.
"We'll do it my way." Hawkgirl said.
"You're still loyal to them, aren't you?" Vixen asked.
"She ain't loyal to no one." Vigilante said.
"Knock it off both of you." Hellboy said.
"It's not about Loyalty. I understand them. I understand how they feel." Hawkgirl said.
"Why bother? They were prepared to destroy the Earth out of some misguided fear." Turok said.
"All this understanding is likely to get us killed." Vigilante said.
"I'm not gonna argue with you. I'm in charge. You have to..."
"What? Trust you? Seems to me that's been tried." Vigilante said.
"Vig, Knock it off. She's mission leader." Turok said.
"She's a Thanagarian!" Vig snapped. "I don't know what you did during the invasion..."
"Hellboy and I fought them in Gotham." Turok said.
"And I fought them on my home turf for all the good it did me. Filthy hawks caught me. Locked me up in a tiny cell, humiliated me. Your people Hawkgirl!" Vig said pointing at her.
"I told you not to call me...You've been hit." Hawkgirl said seeing the wound on his right leg.
"I was in a fight, remember?" Vig said.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Turok asked using his powers to heal him.
"Didn't wanna raise no fuss." Vig said.
"If you don't trust me, you shouldn't have to follow me. I'm gonna take Paren Dul's offer." Hawkgirl said.
"Bad idea. We don't even know if she's not aligned with the Regime. For all we know she could just capture you and hand you over to Vilgax and his Regime. They would extract intel out of you in no time no matter what amount of training you have. In exchange to launch an assault on Thanagar to bring back the old ways and join them against the Legion." Turok said.
"He's got a point." Vixen said.
"What do you care? I'm just a filthy Hawk, right?" Hawkgirl asked. "When I look at myself Maybe I owe my people the chance to pass judgment on me."
"Judgment for what? Making things better? Heres whats gonna happen. When this is over your gonna see what your home looks like when this is over." Turok said.
"You know, for the last few months, all I've been hearing is Shayera is so brave. Shayera's so tough." Vixen said.
"Vixen." Hawkgirl said.
"I'm embarrassed to say that I was maybe a little Jealous of you, but seeing you in action here. I'm thinking Sean was talking about another Shayera." Vixen said.
"We're in this together no matter what." Turok said before Kreggar and another Thangarian attacked them.
Turok quickly wrapped his chain around Kreggar before slamming him into a few trees before letting him go as he landed in front of Hawkgirl.
"You took commander Talek from us, Shayera. And your friend, the green one, did something to my mind. Something bad. I miss commander Talek, I miss being able to think without pain. But no one is going to miss you." Kragger said before Vixen landed on him and held the other down.
"Go! I'll catch up!" Vixen said.
"You better." Turok said as he and Hellboy ran off while Hawkgirl carried Vigilante away.
However suddenly Vixen cried out as she was electrocuted by Kragger's arm before she fell on her back and the other trooper aimed at her.
"Wait don't shoot." Vixen said in alarm.
"I can't think of one good reason not to."
"Because I can give you Shayera Hol. You still want her?" Vixen asked before Kragger picked her up.
"I'm really supposed to believe you would sell out your teammate? I'm brain damaged not stupid. Besides why would you do that anyway?" Kragger asked.
"Besides wanting to save myself? Shayera and I...We want the same man but she's bad news for him." Vixen said.
"Waste of time." The trooper said about to fire.
"Wait. I believe her." Kragger said dropping her. "Take her back to the ship to heal her." Kragger said flying away making him do just that.
Once they were at the ship however Vixen knocked him out with ease.
Entering the pilot room she quickly used the comms.
"J'onn can you hear me?" Vixen asked.
"Barley. Increase your HM gain." J'onn said which she did.
"We've been ambushed by Thanagarians...J'onn?" Vixen called out before turning around seeing Paren Dul with the comms wired pulled out aiming a blaster at her.
Meanwhile
"She's taking too long. I'm going back for her." Hawkgirl said.
"You already know she's been taken so where you really going?" Turok asked.
"What I should have done in the first place. Maybe they'll let her go if I turn myself in." Hawkgirl said.
"Thats a bad idea." Turok said.
"Your in no condition to stop me." Hawkgirl said before he activated the Rider State. "Really?" Hawkgirl asked holding her mace making him sigh before turning human again. "The Legion will send a rescue party in a few hours. Stay safe." Hawkgirl said flying away.
A few minutes after she left one of the Troops landed next to them but triggered a trap snagging his foot and held him in the air.
"I take it back Vigilante. Worked perfectly." Hellboy said.
"Now where is that ship of yours?" Turok asked.
Hawkgirl flew in the air before she met Paran Dul and Kragger who held Vixen in the air.
"Would you care to surrender now or shall we simply kill your friend?" Paran Dul asked.
"Let her go and I'm yours, no tricks." Hawkgirl said dropping her mace before two others grabbed her making Kragger grin before dropping Vixen who yelled. "NO!" Hawkgirl yelled before Paran Dul's ship flew by.
"Who's flying my ship!" Paran Dul yelled.
"Could you fly just a little more sane?" Turok asked holding on for dear life.
"Do I look like I know what I'm doing?" Vigilante asked before flying up and caught Vixen.
Hawkgirl knocked out the ones holding her before Kragger charged at her in anger.
"SHAYERA!" Kragger yelled grabbing her.
Vixen quickly got into the Ship before Paren Dul pushed her in making the ship shake.
"YOU FOLKS MIND! DOOMED DRIVER UP HERE!" Vigilante yelled as Vixen kicked Paren Dul to the door before Hellboy aimed his pistol at her face making her widen her eyes.
"Don't move." Hellboy said before Turok knocked her out.
Shayera yelled as she pulled the lifesuport system out of Kragger who yelled as he fell down to his death before flying into the ship.
"Can someone please take the controls away from Cowboy? I want to get home in one piece." Turok said.
Later
Sean rushed to the hanger as everyone got off while Paran was taken away for interrogation.
"What happened?" Sean asked before the girls passed him. "Girls?"
"When do you want to settle this?" Vixen asked.
"No time like the present." Shayera said as they walked away.
"Oh dear." Sean said.
Minutes later
Both of them burst out laughing from telling stories.
"And his taste in movies. I guess he's a die hard Godzilla Fan." Vixen said laughing.
"Well to be fair it was probably one of the few ways he felt normal back then." Shayera said making her laugh.
"True...You know he still has feelings about you." Vixen said making her smile.
"I know...Whats not to love when it comes to him?" Hawkgirl asked making her grin.
"Funny thing about me. When I first met Sean when I first started out. I thought he was this rich spoiled brat who did things that only benefited him like everyone else in his position. But as I got to know him I saw his only objective was to help people by any means necessary. When I started Dating him I got to know him even better. He'll welcome you back in a heartbeat." Vixen said making her smile.
"I know...But for now I just want to wait till things settle down." Shayera said before they touched their glasses together.
Sean was outside listening and smirked before walking away.
"Well, you seem happy." Eda said walking to him.
"I have good reason to be...So Eda...About that Date." Sean said making her grin.
"Your asking a CIA agent out now?" Eda asked making him chuckle.
"How bout it?" Sean asked.
"Sure. Besides you still owe me for the beating I took." Eda said making him wrap his arm around her before walking away together.
