The Justice League Mini-series Story #8:
Nocturnal Hunters #4
GreenArrow: Just as Dinah was pulling up to the building in question, there was the sounds of gun fire, something that did not go so good with kidnappers. It meant that someone had either hadn't paid the ransom or someone actually was doing something about it. And then the shooting ceased with the shooter being chucked out the window and into the near by garbage truck. The green Hat of the Green Arrow could be seen, dusting his long leather arm guards against one another, before he brought his bow out peering to those with the knives and bats. Typical. Bringing Melee to a Archer fight. What a bunch of ameteurs. When one man charged, he flipped the bow around in his arm, side stepped put the man's head between the bow and the bow string, letting the man's momentum do the pulling before he released, the bow slapping the man int he back of the head. The end result was a unconcious body. And then the fun happened. Side Step, attempted stab, couter with the elbow,
GreenArrow: boot to the groin, knee to the head, spinning around and tossing someone into his friends. At some point though, someone had gotten a hold of a small side table with four legs. And smashed it against the back of Green Arrow. Those blue eyes widened and he staggered, but all in all the parts of the table were sent flying over him or around him. Turning to regard the person who held two broken square legs, he snickered lightly. He knew why it hadn't worked, and he was going to pass off some advice to the kid as said kid attempted to stab him with one of the jagged legs. "Yeah, Here's some professional advice kid. The next time you try to knock someone out from behind DON'T USE PEICE OF SHIT IKEA FURNITURE TO DO IT!" He shouted as grabbed his arm to beat the kid with his own weapon, not the jagged end of course. but enough to get the point accross as he kicked him in the ass and over the couch.
-Batman was unable to speak with Black Canary, but the voice of Alfred would directly link to Black Canary.- “Ms. Canary, Batman is currently in Robinson park fighting the Riddler. If you want to investigate North Gotham, I shall be here to give you aid…until Oracle is available, I suppose…” –The elderly man clearly having sarcasm and lack of interest in the detail; it wasn’t anything personal towards her, but an obvious distaste for technology and his limited ability to use it.-
Black Canary: Black Canary's eyes widen a little as she hears the voice of the older man. "I'm sure they can handle the Riddler, thanks for the update. I am just getting to the north side now, getting close to the location where they dissapeared. Thanks for your help, I might need to get some further info. Hehe, well Oracle has her reasons, I know I can't find half the stuff she can, although I am better with direct confrontation than computers myself. Thanks." she smiles as she speaks. She zips across the bridge getting into the old Gotham district on the northside, the old crumbling building looming about her casting on shadows in the moonlight. "Halloween..." she mutters to herself, "the monsters always have to come out on Halloween... kidnapping little boys..." she grits her teeth thinking of the details on the scanner. Two little boys missing one as Batman, the other as the Joker. She hopes it was merely a concidence, but knew things in Gotham rarely happened by coincidence. (c)
Black Canary: She skidded to a stop by a small gathered crowd and a crying mother. She went up and started talking to her asking for deails looking up and down the street. It took some time to convince she wasn't in just a costume. The boys were there once moment and gone the next. The street was still teeming with costumed people, adults and children, it could be any of them and they could be more dangerous then they looked. She figured they had to be in one of the houses, would be easier to conceal the boys nearby than on the streets where they could cry for help. She looked for any with their lights off, eyeing some that looked like they were straight out of a horror movie.
-The Two boys were tied to chairs as the large, muscular man held a knife and gun in hands, he picked up his phone upon a call.- “Roland, there’s some of those vigilantes looking for the kids…They’re right now busting in on Demonz Gang…bunch of kids are getting beat up by a guy with Arrows…” –Roland would grin.- “Really…?” –While Green Arrow was scooping out the joint, at the same time Black Canary would be directed by parents where their children had gone and explained the local gangs in the area were untouched by Police, however; Alfred would be able to use the Bat computer database to tell Black canary where the Demonz had a safe house in the neighborhood. Upon arriving, Mark remained on the rooftop of a building only a block away, using binoculars to watch the scene unfold. The brothers had intentionally hit the neighborhood to distract from their crime. <c>
-It was perfectly packaged proven by Green Arrow and Black Canary’s arrival to the Demonz headquarters to break them in.- “Sorry to say Roland, I guess Batman isn’t going to show…” –Roland rubbed his temples.- “No…He’s busy with Scarecrow, he’s all over the Police Scanner, they were last seen Downtown…Maybe dumping a dead kid will grab his attention.”
Black Canary: Black Canary listened to the parents and checked with alfread to learn more about the gangs which seemed to have the neighborhood tight in their grasp, making their own rules here. This really could be gang related, but what would they accheive from kidnapping children? there had to be more going on. She checked with Alfred who dirrected her to the old safe house the Demonz had in the neighborhood, she sneaked along the side of the building peering into windows one the first floor, when she spied a green capped man, she couldn't help but looking him over. Another hero looking to help out or just trick or treater in the wrong place, the arrows on his back and his stance showed that he did mean business. She gave a small signal with her hand to see if she could catch his attention, she smirks.
GreenArrow: Shook his head as he regarded the punks that he had been dealing with here. Something did not add up right to him. No no no. No kids, just a hand full of punks with one gun and a shit load of melee? In all honesty he had been expecting a bit more. There he was eyeing the people on the floor and then he grabbed his bow shaking his head. Why did he feel as though he had been set up? Before he could ponder more upon the given situation, there was another that chose to grace the scene of carnage with their presence. Go figure. He'd heard of her as well. The Black Canary. So there he put his weight to one leg and crossed his arms, the bow in hand. "Don't tell me your an off season Santa Clause. Because I've been a pretty naughty boy tonight." He stated with a chuckle gesturing to the youth he had decked around only a few moments before. And then he turned his head to regard the windows,
GreenArrow: pulling an arrow free. He looked out to the streets, peering this way and that and then he saw the person in the distance. He might not have been in his prime, but his eye sight was far better than the average man. He didn't look directly at him, but he had guaged the distance between him and the building that he was in. So there he stepped away from the window in question, walked to the window that was covered by the back alley, changed the arrow that he had notched up and took aim, and a best guess of where the building was. The arrow sailed though the air, over top and landed ontop of the building mister Roland was on. At the tip? A type of nerve gas that induced paralysis for twleve hours. And there was a antidote that he carried for it. He didn't need to hit him to get him and he liked that part. And then that was when he turned and regarded the Canary again, that shit patented mischevious grin upon his face. "Well I hate to be naughty and run, but there's a little boy accross the
GreenArrow: way that's fallen and can't get up."
-Mark saw the arrow flying towards him and immediately run backwards, his large frame had no trouble fleeing as the area filled with gas, he spoke into the phone.- “Christ!” –Mark looked back from a ventilation shaft to see the gas surrounding the area. He quickly jumped down the fire escape and spoke into the phone.- “Roland, they’re onto me.” –Roland sighed and said and walked over to a table where an AA-12 automatic shotgun lied with shotgun magazines for the weapon. He loaded the weapon with fragmentation rounds and spoke into the phone as he set it down.- “Is it going to be a problem, Mark?” “Nah, I can handle them. I’m at the car now.“ –Mark jumped into a black unmarked car, appeared to be a Honda with no real tag as to what manufacture it was, but he stormed off causing the tires to screech before slipping under the Wayne railway and into the lower part of the city, the narrows.-
Black Canary: Canary looked at the messed up thugs, lying about unconscious, seeing the other hero standing in the midsts of them, looking cocky. She rolled her eyes at his line as she let herself in. "Hehe, no. I stopped working for ol' St Nick when he insisted I wear the curly toed shoes. Besides... you would get coal anyhow, you didn't pick up all your toys." she teases lookiing at all the fallen thugs seeing if any were conscious enough for a few answers. the place was a mess, but no signs of any victims moving through here. She watches as the archer dashed to a window and shot an arrow quickly making an exit. "And let you have all the fun?" she dashes out the window up the escape to the roof of teh other building and avoided the quickly dissapating gas seeing a man dash into an old and unmarked car, she smirked at cocky archer. "I think your fallen boy is quick on his feet. I think he deserves a little song ." she gets into a stance and takes a deep breath, screeching as waves of sonic sound (c
Black Canary: wash over and hit the man in his car trying to get away as he talks on his cell phone. the car picking up and flipping into a nearby building. She dashes downt he fireescape not waiting for the archer to follow. reaching the car she grabs the man by his collar, glad he wore his seat belt, not looking happy. "In a hurry? where are the boys?"
-Mark felt the car flip over and smash into a building, but as Black Canary went to savor the spoils of victory, Mark would be yanked out of the car revealing a 6 foot and 5 inch tall giant weighing almost 240 with muscles. Mark grabbed Dinah’s neck and began squeezing her throat with his large hand, the main had hardly shaved. He grinned at her.- “I don’t know who you are, but you just destroyed my mother’s car!” –Mark would lift Black Canary from the ground and slam her shoulders into the flipped over car attempting to weaken her. The cell phone would have Roland’s voice calling out.- “Mark…? I’m on my way!”
Black Canary: Black canary is surprised as she pulled the man out of the car, as he came out willingly, standing to his full height a good bit taller and heavier than her and all muscle. She was caught off guard enough she was grabbed about the neck and slammed into the car knocing a bit more breathe out of her, she tried to take a full breath and was unable to. She gave a quick knee to the gut, if he doubled over she would try to knee him in the head. Otherwise she would kick with both feet to knock him off or at least get both of them to the ground.
Batman: -Mark felt her legs smashing into his body, immediately Black Canary would feel resistance of Kevlar underneath his clothing. Mark grinned at her before smashing his forehead against hers to daze her. It was at this point an arrow would split apart and a bola device would wrap around Mark’s shoulders and arms. And Green Arrow would comment.- “And here I thought insurance companies were rough with a shakedown…Unhand the lady or my next arrow is going slip right through one ear and come out the other!” –Green Arrow spoke while reloading and aiming his next arrow straight towards Mark’s head. Roland arrived at a nearby rooftop where he saw the scene unfolding; he stiffened his jaw and shifted it some to his left before raising the shotgun towards Green Arrow. Green Arrow’s concentration was focused on Mark that he hadn’t seen Roland’s subtle appearance.-
Black Canary: Black Canary cursed mentally as she felt the kelvar under the man's clothing, just what a giant needed armor. She let out a small moan as pain flared through her head as the big man, Mark, headbutted her. She had a little trouble focusing her eyes she heard a sound and saw that the thug was wrapped up with a bolo, she then saw the archer arrow notched ready. She appreciated the assist, but she was no damsel in distress. She couldn't see much else against the car like this. Her arm came up punched the man in the throat with all her strength, she had to get him off her. She only had one other place she could strike and was ready to do it if need be.
GreenArrow:-Green Arrow trained for a killing strike, his patience was drying as he pulled back just a little more to insure speed of the shot, when Black Canary struck Mark in throat causing him to spin and drop Black Canary between him and Green Arrow as he stumbled onto the ground. Green Arrow would lower his shot and groan.- “For the love of-…I had a clear shot!” –He groaned at Black Canary as she had gotten in the way. Roland wouldn’t waste any more time and stood up to fire a shot at Green Arrow, Oliver heard the shot and began moving towards Black Canary, grabbing her bicep and pulling her to follow him.- “Come on!” –The Fragmentation rounds caused small explosions that sent street gravel into the air and threw pebbles in all directions. It was almost as if a minefield was exploding around them. Mark held his throat and rolled onto the ramp leading down into the city’s narrows. Green Arrow pulled Black Canary into an alley where they were hidden from Roland.- <c>
GreenArrow: “Christ…What the hell was that about? I could’ve taken him out before you pulled that stunt.”
Black Canary: Black Canary gives the Green Arrow a dirty look as he grabs her upper arm and starts to pull away as he pulls her with him. Then she heard the shot as the ground around them started to blow to pieces raining about them. She ran with him as he pulled her into an alley. She spun on him, glaring as he chewed her out. "I don't need help from one of Robin Hood's merry men, I had things undercontrol!" she growls slightly. she looks towards where the gunshots are coming from. "Besides we got bigger problems. Do you want to take him, or would you like me to get 'in the way' again." her eyes flash a little. Who did this guy think he was?
GreenArrow:“Oh, excuse me, sleeping beauty. Maybe you should open your eyes and realize that he was going to kill you and the world was better off without him. From where I was standing it didn’t seem like you had control. You were barely maintaining consciousness…” –Green Arrow narrowed his eyes looking down at her as she seemed just as determined as he regarding their point of view.- “We can’t just go out there, he had backup, a guy with a bazooka or a grenade launcher...Can your pretty little voice stop that? Oh, I forgot that your breath hasn’t caught up after being strangled by Frankenstein…Forgive me, how could I forget that part!” –Mark and Roland would have made their escape by the time Green Arrow and Black Canary would examine the scene, but the sound of police cars arriving on the scene would immediately draw their attention.-
