Batman: (Post Order for group 1 = Aquaman > Doctor Fate > Jonn.)
Batman: (^ cape town)
Black Condor: (Central City for Phantom Lady and I.)
Batman: (Group 2 = Flash > Black Condor > Phantom > Captain Marvel.)
Batman: ^ Central city
Batman: (Going to add Enchantress to Group 1)
Batman: group 1 = Aquaman > Doctor Fate > Enchantress > Jonn
Batman: (That leaves group 3 = Batman > Black Canary > Jonn)
Cape Town, South Africa…Two feet were dragged across the ground, as two men dragged the dead woman’s body over towards a pile of corpses and tossed the woman onto the large fire of dead bodies. The tropic setting and environment of a modern city, almost like Miami, Florida, the boardwalk was a popular tourist attraction, but things have dramatically changed since “The Devil” took over ruling Cape Town with his “Hell Hounds” gang. Men with AK-47’s walked through the streets, a quarter of the city was subjected to their rule out of fear of what the Devil would do would do. Four lane highways separated by small islands of grass and trees marked the path that the roads followed around the city.
Central city, U.S.A...Pointed green mandibles began clicking against cement walls, people were screaming in fear, as large overgrown and mutated spiders climbed on top of cars and buildings. They moved with lightning reflexes as bullets flew past them, police officers struggling to maintain the situation. On top of the rooftops stood a larger, much more evolved creature, hardly human. Large mandibles from its mouth and moth like wings on its back. Long arms with fur covering and bulking up its shoulders. Large red eyes with large scissor teeth. The creature stood on two legs bent and deformed watching the spiders run rampant. In anticipation, Charaxes would begin to mumble.- “Fast…fast…fast…”
On Board the Watchtower…Batman was running his black gloves across the keyboard and control room of the Watchtower, next to him was the Martian Manhunter. Batman spoke into the microphone and communication device.- “Flash…They’re working their way towards the city police headquarters…You can cut them off at Jackson street by cutting down-…” –Batman stopped instructing Barry when, he watched through satellite feed, the Spiders began implementing military tactics, two by two, each covering the other. It should be noted that the spiders were a hybrid species, appearing to have the legs of a spider, the torso and head of a human, with spider like features on their faces Their human like arms were large scythes that were much like over grown mandibles that were coming out of the spider hybrids mouth. Batman would then instruct Barry.- “Back up is on the way…See if you can get me a sample of their DNA…”
Aquaman: The portal opened and out stepped the King of Atlantis out onto the beach, the sand sinking in a bit from his weight. He could taste and smell the salt in the air from the breeze as it blew flecks of water up from the surf. A sigh touched his lips as he adjusted the Trident worn on his back before looking towards the sorcerer that brought him here. “I thought that is was clear, Fate, when we finished with the Old Ones. I do not want to be a part of your team. Atlantis requires my attention and the seas are still restless in places,” Orin continued their conversation from his throne room sternly. Aquaman had agreed to come on this task with his ally partly out of the, if tenuous, friendship that the two had. Being a part of the team also had other benefits, he thought, as Diana’s smile came to his mind, but that did not mean such things were all that were needed to sway him. Seventy percent of the world was water and nearly all of it he watched and protected alone. Not even his
Aquaman: kingdom cared enough to protect the sea unless there was some benefit for them.
Black Canary: Black Canary turns to Bruce. "Looks pretty rough down there. Would you like to me aid with the spiders Batman? I'm sure I can help knock some of them out." She turns to Wonder Woman to see where she wants to go.
Doctor Fate: “ I am not here to force you to change your mind Orin, In fact I believe that you will do so on your own. My Father use to tell me, Think and all of the ancestors think with you, Fight and you fight alone.” He landed and began to walk with Orin. “ HE walked in pace matching that of his friend.” Atlantis survived thousands of years without you, I think it can survive without you for a short time when the rest of the world needs you.” His golden cape draped over his shoulders.” Besides isn’t it nice to have someone to talk to other than Fish last I recall you didn’t talk to your own people much, to busy fighting your one man war.” Fate scanned the area the aura was not unlike that of Gotham City, or Korea. It was broken, and one man was responsible for it.
The Flash: Central City U.S.A. A calm, peaceful city. One of which the Flash personally patrolled by the Flash. Everything was normal within the city. Oh, except for the overrunning of giant Spiders. Not that Barry Allen was afraid of Spiders. Talking gorilla's was more his thing. Though, the chaos that tore through the city would be enough to turn anyone arachnophobic. Though, these were far from any usual Spider that The Flash had come across before. Part of the creatures were humanoid. Where they actually human? Where they humans transformed into this.. 'No Barry..' He began to shut the conspiracies down within his head. 'We don't make judgement calls without proof.' "Flash to Batman. I hear you." The Scarlet Speedster took the turn, and cut through an ally, then a yard, making his way to Jackson street. Stopping sharply, as he came across two of the Spider hyrbrids. "We need to come up with a name for these monstrousitys." As he spoke, the Spider creatures started the process of trying to pin
The Flash: Barry in a corner. "Back up would definitely be appreciated." One of the Spiders foolishly lunged at him, and he side stepped it with relative ease. "Consider it done. Flash out." Quickly sidestepping another creature, he took off. He ran, and slid past one of the creatures. Barry Allen double timed it to the Central City Pd, where the cops were struggling to keep the building. He took a few notes of the creatures, while he had a second. 'Military styled. 2 by 2 cover formation. And each was showing a remarkable ability to adapt, to the obstacals that the Central City PD was showing. It looked like there was a new priority. The Flash needed to clear the building of these creatures, for he needed to get inside and get the proper equipment for a DNA sample.
Enchantress: The Enchantress felt the power of the Lord of Order drawing her to a region, a region she had never ventured into before. A slight fear trickled over her skin as she viewed herself in the mirror, knowing that she must go when summoned. June whispered, “Enchantress…” to change into her powerful form, the emerald essence consuming her. She sighed as she stood from the stool, her muscles flexing with great power, her aura exuding a seductive influence. Her long raven hair cascaded down her back over her long cape, her corset was strapped tightly around her bosom and torso, though her abdomen was revealed…toned and tight, a bit of light glistening off of it. Her pants clasped tightly to her athletic, long legs, her brown eyes observing her form in interest. Her fear seemingly dissolved within the power of her own sorcery, a soft laugh escaping her lips as she simply made a thought, transporting to the area where Doctor Fate now lay in wait. As she appeared on the beach, the Enchantress –
Enchantress: immediately bowed to him, her form respectful and loyal, her hair tumbling over her shoulders, glistening in the sun. “My Lord….you summoned me..?” The vixen inquired lowly, her eyes lowered in humility. An obvious stretch for the Succubus.
Wonder Woman: She looked over Batman's shoulder at the screen and shook her head. "Why are we wasting time up here?" she said, not understanding why she must stay away from the action. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as she glowered over at the two humans. "We are not helping anyone so far removed from the action," she muttered. Truth be told, her body was still recovering from the event with the Old Ones, and her spirt from the events with Superman, the Kent family and Miss Lane, not that she would ever let anyone know how any of it effected her. She shook her head. "I cannot simply stand idly by," she muttered. Her temper was still firey, she hadn't yet learned to be patient, or the wisdom her Mother was hoping the impetuious, ready to fight Princess would learn in the Patriarch's world. Her boots clicked on the tiles as she walked out of the command centre.
Black Condor: A light purple energy opened in the sky and down flew Condor with Phantom Lady in his arms." More giant bugs..." He landed on the ground about 10 feet behind the Flash. The statuesque Navajo moved forwards." Batman sent us." Nothing else was said as he moved towards the building holding his hand towards the creatures sending a wave of tornado force winds in hopes of clearing a path for the Flash." We will deal with these monsters...Do what you need to."
Jonn: inwardly sighed at the calling of Batman. The man had ordered the Flash to engage the enemy. He disapproved of the tactics that sent someone into a situation alone. But given who it was, and his ability to evade everything but a stop sign, it was a sound choice. Thus he peered down towards his own terminal and blinked at the news broadcasts of the four island city. One of the islands was under attack, helicopter footage showing the murder and disposal of human bodies. Now that made the martians red eyes narrow slightly. The new system that Bruce had designed to monitor and track all League members was surprisingly accurate. Green fingers danced accross the board as he accessed the external camera's from payphones, traffic camera's, ATM's, Public transit stations, and monitored the situation. "Doctor Fate. I'm tracking activity Ten Blocks north of your position. It appears that the locals disagree with the local padre and his church. Terrorists armed with Ak 47 machine guns it appears."
Phantom Lady: First Bees, now spiders. First mutant bees, now mutant spiders. "Swear to god next time you drag me off a photo shoot to get covered in giant bug guts I will personally explode every single one of them I see right over your head, Condor." Stormy Knight was not happy. Yes, she understood that this whole 'hero' thing required her to be a little more flexible than her acting and publicity schedule would've liked....but he and batman had somehow convinced her to join another team. The portal opened, and they landed behind flash, and she quickly lowered her green lenses to start evaluating the situation. Lots of spiders. "What's the plan here, Flash, or is it just a free for all splat a bug party?" Noticing one of the spiders had started to recover from the wind that Condor had sent forth, she quickly crossed her bands- a purple lens exploded from within the spider, and it fell to the ground in two pieces. " 'Cause I'm all for getting rid of bugs;but if there's something else we can do..."
Aquaman: Arthur just shook his head. There were times that he wanted to hit the man hard enough to ring the helmet he wore even if he knew better. What made things worse, at the moment, was that Fate was so often right in the end. He'd even been right about the battle with the Old Ones. From the begining he'd had faith that the rag tag team he'd joined with would manage to overcome their foes and, as thing turned out, they had been as much of an asset in the battle as had been predicte. When the woman appeared next to them, Orin's eyes turned to her and narrowed his gaze for a moment as he felt the wave of magical power radiate from her. "You took up a pupil, Fate? Weren't you the one who preached how busy your duties kept you?" A bit of a smirk came across his lips for a moment before it disappeared. "So which direction are we heading?"
Captain Marvel: Flies through the streets of Central City. He had never worked with anyone else before, but to get a chance to work with Batman, and so many of these other Leaguers, it was a opportunity he couldn't turn down. He slows down and lands lightly near where Flash, Condor, and Phantom were to get a chance to look over the situation. He wasn't exactly a tactician but it was obvious that the spiders were covering each other. Marvel takes in the sight for a moment. “Well I am all for stepping on some bugs, but shouldn't we focus on whoever is controlling these things? Perhaps they are being mind controlled?” He picks up one of the spiders and tosses it away from the team and turns to Flash and the the others for their thoughts.
Doctor Fate: " No I did not Orin." He looked to June." Do not call me such, I am not your lord or master Ms. Moon. Nabu must have summoned you because I did no such thing.." Fate looked in the direction J'onn was speaking of." We are on our way. Enchantress, I want you to focus on saving people. Martian I will create a distraction infiltrate the group and try to determine the location of the man known as "The Devil". Aquaman I believe we could use a bit of rain don't you think?" Fate flew into the air towards the location quickly holding his hand down at the focusing on the guns.He thought for only a second and the guns polymorphed into super soakers.
The Flash: Not that the Flash was one to normally give orders. He was a founding member of the Justice League, and he saw what needed to be done. "Alright. I'll make sure that the back is sealed off. I'm gonna get the PD to barricade themselves in. You two assist eachother, and make sure nothing -not- human gets in those doors. If you're able to drive them off, Willford's avenue is only a block away. And the river is near. Send them for a swim." The Flash pointed at the two very large, very breakable glass doors, as he gave the order. In a Flash, the Scarlet Speedster took off, only to stop at the side of the building. He began to vibrate his molecules, allowing him to phase through the solid wall of the PD. Once inside, he was attacked by one of the Spider creatures. With a quick reaction, he ducked under a scythe. "C'mon. You're faster than that." He taunted the creature. What seemed to be the lone one. To make matters worse, ontop it it, he picked up a stapler, and beamed it at the creatures
The Flash: head. It would do as Barry had planned, and annoyed the creature. The next move was the plan. Barry quickly dodged the Spider creature as it flung itself in a rage at the Flash. By the time the creature had hit the floor, the door had been closed, and locked. It was stuck, and secure in the confiscated evidence room. Hurriedly, Barry rushed to every exit, or possible doorway that there was. He stacked up desk, behind desk, behind desk of each exit. Once satisfied the building would be secure, he hurried to his lab. Grabbing a petri dish, to get a proper DNA sample. "One DNA sample. Coming right up."
The Flash would note that the river is the Missouri River. Being it's Central City Missouri.
Enchantress: June furrowed her brows as he corrected her, straightening her form to stand to full height, obviously feeling awkward. The Enchantress tried to show respect to a higher being and she is cast down, her eyes glancing away to avoid his. “I will as you ask…” She answered softly, walking beside Orin, as she gazed into the beautiful sea. Her brown eyes then turned to the King of Atlantis, attempting to soften her eyes. “Thank you for saving me the other day…I would not be here if you had not come to my aid.” She nodded genuinely to him, her hips swaying as she walked in the purposeful destination. “I just say this before anything else occurs…we never know what will happen…” She ran a hand through her long raven tresses, attempting to be on her best behavior. The vixen was prone to high emotions and a need to intervene, and her goal right now was to do what she was purposed for.
Black Condor: pushing his fist through one located near him his fist went through the bug and into the wall behind him. He took off flying smashing bugs on the way up the building." These are not as endless as the ants were Stormy. We will not spend days fighting them." An elbow crashing into anotherthen Blasting a gust of wind towards the ground to knock them back down the building" Stormy, Can you teleport them without teleporting the building?" He smashed more and more spiders. One latched onto his arm biting him. He gritted his teeth and crushed it's head with his other arm. He attempted to contain them with his tornado force winds in hopes Stormy could teleport them and be done with it.
-It was about this time that J’onn would begin to feel and sense of someone moving around in his head. A voice spoke.- ‘Help!’ –It was bubbly, faded, and sounded almost like the voice was behind him coming from down the hall way. Batman and Black Canary didn’t seem to notice the voice as they were observing the combat through the televisions.- “Dinah, can you get down to the surface and retrieve that sample from the Flash? Take the transporter…I’ll patch you through to a location where you will be safe, but I need that sample.” –Batman shifted his gaze to see Aquaman and Dr. Fate’s status. Batman’s voice followed up by saying.- “Things are more slower than I anticipated…”<c>
–Charaxes watched the Flash move with hyper speed, however; the Flash movements were framed in normal framed to 60 per second. Charaxes leaped off the building and dived towards Black Condor attempting to strike at his back, the large insect like creature went to chomp down on Black Condor’s neck.-
Aquaman: He chuckled a bit at the tone of Fate’s voice took on when he joked about the Enchantress. As the group of three began to walk forward, the Sea King’s eyes turned to the woman as she spoke up and he waved his left hand, “Don’t fret about it. You were in danger and bleeding out, so it was the least I could do.” Aquaman did not enjoy coming up to the surface because he never really felt right above the water. Most of his childhood had been spent on land, but once he had taken up the responsibilities of being king, passed down to him from his mother, life beneath the ocean was just… more right even if he wasn’t welcomed because of his human heritage. Pulling his Trident from his back, one of the weapons of the god Poseidon himself, he paused and raised the weapon up towards the sky. The clouds began to gather above, the sky darkened, and rain began to pour.
Phantom Lady: Stepping up toward the doorway, she rolled her eyes at Condor, before tapping at her lenses a few times. "There's quite a few in there..." She paused, watching as he splattered several on the concrete at the base of the building. It was more precise than she'd done in a long while...but there was nothing saying that she couldn't at least get the ones on the outside. She set to work on these, teleporting them deep into the river nearby. Watching up the walls, she focussed on teleporting the creatures that moved around the building- either smashing them apart from the inside or simply relocating them deep within the missouri river. Several had come closer to her than she would've liked, and with a quick movement, their guts splattered over the sidewalk. "I hate bugs." Glancing up, she only noticed the creature a moment before it would've gotten to john. "Condor, you got incoming!"
Black Canary: Black Canary nods. "I'll bring back that sample as quickly and as safely as I can." She runds down the cooridor her boots clicking on the tile. She does'nt hear anything and goest to the transporter. She is scanned and runs into the glowing tube coming out down below in a small room tha opens up into phone booth, she smirks at the cliche. She takes back alleys, knowing from the maps she saw on the monitors the quickes route to get there. She sees a spider creature on one of the walls runningtowards her. She charges it flips over it, kicking it in the head, a nd hits the ground running, going towards the police station, nothing was going to stop her from her mission, seeing the station in sight.
Jonn: Turned is head to the side to regard his steaming cup of tea. True it did seem unprofessional, unfortunately there was little that he could do from where he was other than monitor the situation and appraise as needed. So sipping the tea he watched until something unfamiliar spoke to him. It was only for a moment, and it seemed to be in the room with them, behind him. The Martian's grip upon the cup loosened to where the cup dropped and shattered upon the ground as he stood up peering behind him. He took note that his two friends did not seem to hear the voice that had echoed through the room.And so he telepathically began to probe outwards, cautiously, preparing for a battle of the minds as he moved forwards down the hall. If they had an intruder, he would find them, this took president over what the others were doing. ~Who is there?~
Captain Marvel: He shrugs not really getting the answer he was hoping for. He noticed Charaxes flying towards Condor to take a bit out of him. Marvel crushes a spider and then tosses it out of the way and zips for him. His right hook connects with Charaxes sending out a wave to blast a few nearby spider creatures into the walls nearby, probably covering Phantom or Condor in bug guts. Another left hook would connect with the other side of his face hopefully sending him backwards into a car and smashing it. He wasn't finished yet though, he flies above Charaxes and delivers several more blows, non lethal of course, he could have probably seriously hurt him if he had used his full strength but there was no telling how strong it was but hopefully it would have given him a few bruised ribs or cracked at couple to slow Charaxes down.
Batman: (Group 2 = Flash > Black Canary > Black Condor > Phantom.)
Batman: (And > Captain Marvel^)
Enchantress: June nodded to Orin before disappearing into an unknown area, though she sensed this was where much carnage had occurred. Her brown eyes gazed at the street in horror, women lying all over the road crying out for help, blood covering them, children shot to death on the curbs. Compassion overwhelmed the Enchantress and she knelt at the first woman she came to, hovering her palms over the woman’s body. The woman was young, maybe the age of June herself, and she had obviously been raped. The woman reached out to her with extended arms, her hands motioning her forward, and June did just that. She began to heal the woman of her injuries, a bright green light surrounding the female, making her whole once more. She helped the woman to stand to her feet, making sure she was strong enough to walk. However, a terrorist watched in the bushes, prepared to do the same thing he had done to the defenseless woman. He ran at June full force, AK 47 extended ready to bash her in the skull. However, -c-
Enchantress: The Enchantress was fully prepared with her defense orb, as the man made contact with her space. He bounced off of the invisible shield, and she turned, extending her palm out to fry his nervous system with electricity. She gazed darkly down at his scorched corpse; ready to mete the same fate to any other offenders she came in contact with. She returned her attention to the woman, wrapping her arm around her midsection to lead her to safety. -end-
-Batman jumped and prepared himself for action when the glass container smashed against the steel floor and caused the tea to spill. Batman’s fists were clutched and prepare to punch whoever was behind him.- “What is it J’onn?” –The voice would call to J’onn.- ‘Come closer! Please! I need help!’ –The voice ushered J’onn to head towards the shuttle bay, it was a few floors below where Batman and J’onn were, The Martian Manhunter could hear the sound of someone trapped within the steel frame, however if he were to move through the floor he would find nothing of the sort. As he came closer to the Shuttle bay, he would have a clearer connection to the voice. –
-Charaxes would wiggle as Captain Marvel placed a smack down on him, causing green and red blood to spill out of his torso, arms, and face.-
The Flash: The Flash made his way out of the Police Department, with his sample dish in hand. He was almost in shock of the three moving. He quickly approached Condor, and Phantom Lady, in hyperspeed. He ran around the two of them, that flung away all of the Spider like creatures that were around, creating a weak enough Tornado like vortex to clear the area. When he walked from it, toward Condor, and the Phantom Lady. He was very visibly upset. He spoke harshly, and began to the scold the two. "What in the.. these could be transformed humans! As of right now." Barry began to shout, frustrated with what could be a gigantic loss of life. "UNTIL YOU'RE TOLD OTHERWISE. NOTHING FATAL. Drive them away. Use your powers to scare them away. Let the river take them down stream. DON'T KILL ANYTHING!" Barry didn't bother lecturing Captain Marvel. He was more than certain the good Captain hear him. Once away from the few, he collected a blood sample from one of the bodies that was slain in the battle.
The Flash: Well, a blood and hair sample. Once the dish was closed, the Flash took off, pressing his communicator, to activate his communicator. "Batman, I got your sample. I need you to send someone to pick this up. Give me a drop off point." The Flash was unaware at this exact second that Dinah was in Central City for the pick up, but would surely be informed.
Jonn: Turned his head to regard his friend with a raised eyebrow before he looked forwards. "You do not hear it....... Someone is calling for help." He stated, now deducing that it was indeed telepathic in nature. Troubling. A telepath upon the station? Something was amiss. And he was going to find out what it was. But rushing forwards was not his way. No. He suspected a trap, and thus he walked forwards in no great hurry. Down the steps, he counted, peering this way and that, suspecting an enemy within every shadow. It was something that Bruce would know all to well. Allowing ones eyes to adjust to the light before entering the room was smart. It meant that you were not partially blinded by the light for those few moments when someone could do true damage to a person. And soon enough he was at the Shuttle Bay Doors, standing upon the doors axis, eyeing the room with much disdain. "Here." He stated at last, as his hand drifted to the consol on the wall, activating the lights.
Black Canary: Canary clearing the alley heard an updated report about Flash's location he was over a block. She knew he could easily get to her, but as she looked that direction she saw it full of the spider people they were all charging towards her. Apparently someone had tipped them off, maybe the one in teh alley. Under her breath she says, "Okay, let's clear you a path Flash from these dryders" remembering the geeks from her high school days. She gives a stance and takes a deep breath. She lets loose a high keening scream, as sonic waves toss and knock them off their legs. Incapaciating them as they twitch and clutch their ears. she starts to run. If flash didn't hear that callling card, she didn't know what would.
Aquaman: With the rainstorm summoned, Arthur returned his Trident to its place on his back. Alone now with nothing but the sights before him and his thoughts, he began to walk. Aquaman looked about the area, shaking his head at the senseless taking of life and and destruction. This... this is what he came to the surface for? Places like this did not want help. Nothing they did would ever change things here for any amount of time. A pang of pity thumped in his chest as he walked onward, wondering what exactly they were here to do battle with.
Black Condor: Growling as he ripped the monster from his back throwing it over his shoulder and tossing it into the punch of Captain Marvel. He glared to Flash his hand over the bite wound on his neck." We are a strike force little red man, we do not have time to remove these creatures without crushing them, or perhaps you would rather them harm innocents." The statuesque man looked down at the red speedster un sympatheticly.
Doctor Fate: Fate flew into the sky" Face me Devil! Come show me why these people fear you!" The rain poured down on him as he floated there. "I have your aura now..it took a moment this town reaks of your influence. Agent of Chaos come meet the Lord of Order!" He opens his hands wider spreading his arms apart." Soon enough a man holding a fire ball appeared looking to Doctor Fate and holding a hostage in his right arm. " You talk alot Golden one."
-Batman began following J’onn into the darkness, both leading down into the Shuttle bay, where Batman quietly armed his Batarangs and grappling hook.- “The sensors didn’t say there was an intrusion…” –It was then J’onn heard the voice.- ‘You can hear me? I need help…They’re coming to get me, I can’t run much longer…’ –Batman suddenly heard the last part of the mental message, he turned his attention to J’onn.- “I heard that…Where are you?” – The voice would begin fading as it said.- ‘I’m…on the surface of the silver planet…’ –Batman paused and seemed intrigued.- “You’re on the Moon?” –The Spiders in Central city would begin collapsing after Black Canary made her scream, the sudden shriek caused the creatures to pass out or cower into dark hiding places such as parking garages.-
Enchantress: The woman nodded to June in appreciation, speaking to her in her native language, though June could understand. “Thank you…for saving me…I was walking to do my daily errands…and I was attacked out of nowhere…” She struggled to speak as she leaned on the Enchantress. June gazed at her in sympathy, her strength supporting the woman’s weight fully. She guided the woman into a makeshift hospital, though it was highly lacking in equipment. There was a cot available and June lay her down, dabbing the woman’s forehead with a cloth. “Do not thank me…it is my duty to serve and to aid…” She smiled kindly at her. “We will take down those responsible for this…just rest in security, knowing that you are safe now.” The woman gave her a small smile as her eyes closed, fading into a peaceful rest. Enchantress was raging inside with fury at the evils of men…she clenches her fists and marched outside, her slender form quaking with anger. She turned toward the makeshift hospital and extended a shield -c-
Enchantress: over it, making it a safe haven for locals. She spoke to Orin in telepathy, “The so called hospital on the Main Strip…I have made it into a safe haven. All wounded may go there, they will not be harmed.” She then turned, only to find herself facing an onslaught of men all around her. “You want this?” She challenged them, her eyes turning black, her aura turning red. “You’ve got it…fuckers…”
Jonn: turned his head to regard Batman with a raised eyebrow, as though silently saying 'really?' And that was when he moved forwards peering towards the gate eyeing the area around them. "How many of our foes deal with the super natural, Batman? Just because we can't see it, does it mean it does not exist?" He stated as he heard the voice again. And then Batman could hear it, His red eyes narrowed before he turned and regarded the man and he nodded his head towards him, turning his head to regard the Javelinn Jet that the Batman had designed. "Can you fly it?"
Phantom Lady: To be honest, there was every likelyhood that those she had teleported into the river were perfectly fine. Loathe that she was to admit it. But, if they wanted to play powderpuff that was the way they'd have to for now. However, like hell she'd let some live after nearly taking her down in the process. SHADE and Sam had trained her better than all that. "We don't have time for this." She snarled as she glanced toward Condor, unable to continue what she'd been intent upon when the scream rang through the air, cringing. "Three guesses, first two are wrong." Any moron would know who that was. Hollywood starlet she may be, moron, she was not. However, the spiders seemed to be plenty bothered by it and started either receeding or twitching on the ground. She was still seething slightly, but at the moment, she was keeping her temper under check. Which was better than she would have done a few years ago.
-Batman nodded to J’onn regarding the Javelin, to clarify, he didn’t design…Batman used hand signals to report upstairs.- “Can you handle it? I’ll send Diana if you need Back up…” –Batman said keeping his face expressionless, lacking of emotion. His mind, if J’onn were to read it, would express no concern, rather faith in J’onn’s ability to handle the situation below.- “As far as I know, Clark is the only one with enemies who can breathe in space. But, there are creatures in the universe than just us …If you need help, use your communicator.”
Captain Marvel: He glanced around at Flash and nodded before flying off to deal with more of the spiders. Charaxes would most likely be incapacitated now but it would be hard for him to move. He turns towards Condor catching the spider and sending a jolt of lighting through it to render it unconscious. “There is no need to kill anymore of them. Incapacitate them. I never kill anyone, or anything unless they are robots or something with absolutely no chance of redemption. Unless Flash or Bats gives the word otherwise, I will follow per their instructions.” he smiles politely and turns to the spiders hoping they would have at least divided among themselves now that the one controlling them was out of the picture for now. He slowed down again as he spotted the spiders dropping from Black Canary's scream. After a cautious moment, he landed back on the ground and looked to Condor and Lady. “Is...that it?” he turns his head to glance back at Caraxes to see if he had moved at all.
The Flash: The Flash was already gone, before they could respond to the man in red. Right now, priorities had picked up for the Flash. If the two couldn't be trusted not to kill, then The Flash would need to do this on hi- His thoughts were cut off, when he heard a loud-sonic scream. If that wasnt' the Canaries calling card, well. Flash would be needing some ear plugs. He honed in on the sound of the scream, and arrived at Dinah within miliseconds. "Batman sent you? Take this to him. I need to get back to babysitting." The Flash was still annoyed. He felt a touch bothered, for how he yelled at the pair. Barry Allen was normally a calm, collected man. Not today. Too much to do today. Once the petri dish was in Black Canarys hand, the Flash took off, back to the group that was disposing of the Spiders. The Flash arrived back in time, to listen to Condors response. To which he responded to him, "Strike force or not. You may be killing the innocents. No killing. Atleast until we know with what we're
The Flash: dealing with. Our goal, is to get who ever is behind this behind bars." Barry was able to calm himself down, to think clearly. "Listen.. Phantom, Condor.. you two head to the north end of the city. Condor. Get in the sky, and look out for any groups of people being attacked. Swoop in, save all that you can. Phantom.." Barry thought for a moment, but then began to speak once more. "Get to the north end of the city. Start there. Our Spiderfriends aren't good at swimming, but they are good at floating, and drifting down river. Keep sending them there. Defend yourself if you have to. Captain. "Again the Flash started, coming up with a strategy." the City center. We get it cleared out, maybe we can contain them. Get as many as you can, make a makeshift lock up. If they're people, they'll need to be cure. If they're monsters. Atleast they'll be in one place." With that, the Flash took off. He didn't want to leave the city in their hands. But he had no choice. Containment was needed.
The Flash: The detective ran off, several miles down the river. He began to build up a containment area, as tall as he could manage. Making a large-fifty foot tall brick box. It took him a couple of minutes, which was a while, considering how fast Barry Allen moved. Once it was all together, Flash had the task of collecting the Spiders from the waters edge, and putting their tired, worn out bodies in the containment he built.
Doctor Fate: ( media.wizards.com/images/magic/daily/td/yta3243sdfysdfgdsgs.jpg ) The Devil pushed his hostage infront of him then burning the person alive." You dare challenge me Golden Man? I will break you, grind your bones to dust." He jumped from the balcony and landed on his feet soon rocks began to grow from his form as he looked to Fate." Well Show me your power little man!, I am the Devil!" Fate looked to "The Devil" No it is beneathe me to fight you, but my friend here would probably love to get his hands dirty...Orin?"
Black Canary: Canary smiled as Flash appeared next to her. Now that was service. "Yes, I'm here for pick up." She smirks as usually happy go luck flash was bothered by the other heroes. She was going to say something but he was gone. she ran back into the alley, glad to see the spider from earlier was lying in a heap. She jumped over him, but was caught by flailing leg, he was playing possum. she landed on her back cradling the dish so it didn't break. she fended off the moving legs and gave it a hit in the gut, what she thought was the gut and made it curl up in pain. she jumped to her feet and ran back to the phone booth, typed in a code and the back wall opened up, she granted access and was transported back to the Watch Tower. She tapped her earpiece. "I'm back and ready to drop off the samples."
Doctor Fate: " None do more ill than those perpetually endeavoring to do “good”." towards Flash then he took to the sky heading towards the north end" That man is going to get alot of people killed." He was speaking ofcourse of Flash as he continued on." He reminds me of Ray." Condor glared at the thought of the man. Flying even faster.
Captain Marvel: He listened to Barry explain what he was supposed to do and nodded. “Gotcha!” He zipped past everyone else, grabbing the unconscious body of Charaxes and flew him a ways before setting him down and building a makeshift cage out of a few scrapped cars. He flew off to the center where it was filled with them. “Lovely. Let's see...” He paused for a moment before flying to the middle of the block and takes light poles from the streets, ripping them out of the ground more like, and them set them back into the ground in a wide circle as close together as he could get it. He makes a makeshift roof as well with rubble and leaves a hole for himself to fly in and out of. -c-
Captain Marvel: It would do for now. Marvel clapsed his hands together rubbing them back and forth hoping this would work and spreads his hands sending out small waves of electricity to zap them into unconsciousness. He scooped them all up and began setting them in the cell handfuls at a time. Although there was quite a lot. -end-
Aquaman: The voice of June entered into his mind and he nodded, speaking back to her [Good, but if you need help, call out. Don't do more than you can safely handle.] Orin continued to walk forward, the telepathic link remained allowing him to feel the growing anger in her mind. She was in battle and whatever she was seeing had struck her deep on an emotional level. Aquaman continued to walk through the city until he felt a sensation of powerful dark magic within his left hand. He clenched it tight and looked up towards the sky, his eyes now on Fate and the demon that he hovered in front of. "Hmph..." he muttered, scowling as the thing, "If it's battle you want then I'm opponent. And Fate... you should watch over your student. I feel something's chaning in her." With that out of the way, Orin's attention was now free to focus entirely on the situation with the dark being before him.
Enchantress: As her eyes shifted black viewing the menacing circle of men around her, she felt the darkness of the Enchantress overwhelm her. June pulled the breast dagger from in between her bosom, the emeralds on its hilt glittering in the sunlight. "Dagger fly true..." She chanted as she spun in a circle quickly, then releasing, the dagger burying itself in the depths of a man's stomach. She laughed at the sight of blood squirting from him and released her hold, the bloodied dagger fallling back into her hands. She flipped backward, hitting one of the men in the nose with her stiletto heel, breaking it, and knocking him to the ground. She landed on her heels, in a crouching position, her eyes glittering maliciously. "Two down...six to go..." She murmured to herself, the hatred of these men overwhemling her. Her hatred resided in the bitter root that had formed when she was a mere teenager, aftering being attacked and almost raped. The thoughts trickled through her mind at an uneasy pace--
Enchantress: allowing Orin to see her past attack as well. She worked quickly to stab the dagger into each man, the blood flying, the bodies scattering, the sand blowing over her form. At the end of the battle, she sat in the middle of corpses, blood covering her slender form, and she brought her knees to her chest, burying her face there to hide her eyes. She had never felt stronger....but she had also never felt more vulnerable. Her mind was silent, save the few tears that cascaded down her ivory cheeks, her raven hair covering her face. -end-
The Flash: The hard part of the day was here, now. Barry had his hands full. Batman would have much more been equipped to this task. He had the equipment to hover over the water, and rescue these floating creatures. Flash simply couldn't run at them full speed, the process was much harder. He'd have to run across the water quickly, then slow down, just enough to grab the creature, that thankfully wasn't much heavier than a human. When he slowed down, his feet, and body wanted to sink into the water. With the Flash heavily pumping his legs, he was able to built up speed again. He'd be able to pull himself back ontop of the water. Not injuring the -whatever it was- and get them out of the water. Person by person, Flash set them inside of the brick containment center he'd built. Each water logged Spider exhausted from his battle with the Missouri.
The Flash: The Flash did this numberous times. Until the makeshift prison was stacked with these mutant Spiders. When he seemed to have them all. The Flash went back into hyper speed. He quickly needed to build a roof atop this brick contruct. Holes were left within areas of the brick, for breathing purposes, so it was hoped they would remain there.
Doctor Fate: "Fish to the frying pan!" The rocks on his body began to heat up , his eyes glowing orange." You ready Scro! I'm gonna burn you til there's nothin' left." He holds his hands out in front of him blasting a wave of fire towards Aquaman. " Looks like I'll be eatin' Fish tonight!!" He didn't pay attention to if Aquaman was actually hurt or not." While the man attacked Arthur, Fate went to collect June. When he saw the murder and chaos that she had created." That is enough Enchantress..." He crossed his arms and looked to her. He opened his hand to remove the dagger from her landing" Go to your home, now Ms. Moon...." He crossed his arms looking at the blood on the girl" You murdered these men, There is always a better way."
Captain Marvel: Once he had cleaned up as much as he could, he pressed the comm button in his ear. “Flash, I got as many as I could secured like you asked. I also secured the crazy guy who looked like he was leading the thing. They seemed to lose their teaming abilities after that but they were still pretty dangerous. They're all safe and sound for Batman until he can figure out if these things are human or not.” he paused seeing some of them try to drag a few citizens away. “One sec Flash,” he flew forward connecting two quick blows to the spider men and disposes of them into the cell. “I think you might be right about them being humans though, they are trying to secure more people. Where do you want me now?”
Jonn: Raised an eyebrow to him as he spoke about the others needing the guidance and under the circumstances, two different teams on the earth would tax the man’s mental skills. Thus he looked towards the Javelin again, before he nodded his head proceeding forwards, only to pause when he spoke of Superman only having those enemies that could opperate outside in the vaccum of space. Raising a hairless eyebrow he shook his head lightly to him. “Superman does not have the monoply on such beings. There are many that the Green Lantern Core have engaged.” He stated before nodding his head and walking up the ramp. “I’ll keep in touch.” He promised, closing it, before the Javilen went through the launch preperations, and then flew out of the bay in question.
-As J’onn launched the moon location had four dog like creatures, toned in a bright pink color racing after a small blue creature, webbed feet, short legs, webbed hands and arms. His webs connecting his torso to his body, it appeared like an earth squirrel except it was blue skinned. He was running quickly but, slowing down as the hounds closed distance. The leading hound jumped through the air and glided upon the blue creature forcing it to crash into the dusty ground. J’onn would feel a powerful telepathic blast from the blue creature causing the hound to drop onto the ground and go into what appeared to be a seizure. The blast was uncontrolled, if J’onn were not matured in his development, he too surely would’ve been affected by the careless use of telepathic powers. All four hounds stumbled as the blue critter began fumbling on two feet until it collapsed and began crawling.- <c>
-The hounds began making their recovery; from their shoulders they forced large spiky tentacles to appear while closing distance to surround the blue critter. The blue creature weighed approximately 30 lbs, stood about 4 feet off the ground, absolutely no fur on its skin, with large blue eyes upon its small squirrel like head.-
Jonn: Had felt the Telepathic burst and he shook his head. Whatever it was, it was young. Telepathic mind bursts like that did just as much damage to their bodies as it did to those that were hunting it. Grabbing a rebreather, he put the Javelin into a hover mode, before he phased himself and the rebreather through the hull and towards the ground at a critical speed. Just as one of the beings moved, he landed upon it’s back, forcing it into the ground from the strain of his feet hitting it. And then those red eyes narrowed towards the three remaining ones while he stood tall.
The hounds immediately took sight of The Martian Manhunter as he appeared, two of them turned towards him, one leaping to strike J’onn, it’s mouth suddenly widened and allowed its large teeth to bear towards J’onn. If the hound successfully bit J’onn he would feel a massive amount of pressure attempting to rend and tear him apart. The creature had almost meta-human like strength, it could probably tear through the hull of an Earth battleship, or give a Green Lantern a run for their money in damage output, and never the less J’onn would be able to see the immediate threat of the hounds. The hound he stood on suddenly lifted up and attempted to slash J’onn with it’s tentacles rising out of its shoulders. Snarling and grunting came from the beasts, their eyes flashed a crystallized rainbow, but only for a moment.-
Jonn: Hated using the tactic he was about to use, however his options limited and the being infront of him was tired and obviously young. So what did he do? His red eyes glowed again, the tentical waving being wrapping it’s tentical around the legs of one the creatures in question, while the one that charged him was left alone. Why? J’onn caught the being by it’s upper and lower jaws , and though he was surprised by it’s strength, he held his ground firmly, as he used the creature under him as a sort of ground, allowing it to bare the brunt of the force of the attack. What he did then was force those jaws further apart and with luck the top of the beings head would snap, before he threw it towards the remaining and unscathed one.
-The beasts mouth would snap open and with great resistance against J’onn. J’onn’s positioning and using the beast below him as extra torque allowed J’onn to snap it’s mouth, but then something strange happened as the body was thrown, a smaller creature slipped through the mouth of the hound. The creature was invisible, almost. Rainbow like colors within a glass window, the creature’s eyes glowed before vanishing completely; J’onn could read no telepathic connection to the creature either. J’onn had killed one creature and halted anothers assault leaving the two beasts with their tentacles wrapped around The Martian Manhunter, tugging and pulling at him to force him off balance.-
Jonn: eyes widened when he realized the mistake. He had assumed that they were having some sort of mind in control of something. If they did not that meant... That they may have been in relation to the enemy the desecreated mars all those years ago. Those long tenticals that were around him, cutting into his flesh were grabbed and he began to turn around, lifting those beings up with just as much force as he could muster, and threw them towards the sky. Given the low gravity and the force, it was conceiveable that the two would be lost in space.
-The two hounds would widen their eyes as they were lifted and thrust into space with velocity as they drifted they struggled to return to the moons low gravitational pull, but they had no success and quickly flew towards Pluto. The remaining hound pushed aside the hound on top of it nad then leaped into the air and transformed its tentacles into bat like wings to begin flying towards space, fleeing from the Martian Manhunter. The small blue creature rolled onto its back to look at J’onn. Its teeth were exactly like a squirrels, sharp at the front and sticking out, but his right tooth was chipped and colored with purple blood. The creature would sit up, his flipper like tail propped his body upright.- ‘Thank you…’ –a voice spoke into J’onn’s head.-
Jonn: Now that was odd. The last one had fleed using wings generated by it’s own force, and leapt off. The other two could have done a similiar thing, but it seemed like their intelligence was something to be had. Turning his attention to the new comer, he eyed the being, before he nodded his head looking towards the wounds. “You are welcome. I am J’onn Jonzz.” He stated before he offered a hand to the younger creature. “Come, it is best not to dwell here if it can be helped.”
-The creature stood up.- ‘Faz of the Fizzh. Are you from Erph?’ –The blue creature studied J’onn and his tall appearance, towering over the small critter holding his hand. J’onn could see that the critter used telepathy as a primary source of communication.- ‘We need help, J’onn Jonzz. My people are from another sector, we are trying to run from a terrible ruler. He hunts my peepol for our telepathic nature. We are almost barren on all resources and are at a loss of our warriors. The ruler and his army will destroy my species and leave us to be nothing but a fragment of the past. We need a new home, one that we can escape from him!’
Jonn: heard his plight and he then looked towards the earth. “I fear that you would find no help upon earth. They’ve not always taken kind to outsiders upon their planet. Intergalatic refugees would be pushing their almost nonexistant patience...” He pointed out, talking to him, however he nodded his head towards him. ~Use your telepathy, I will understand it just as well... What sort of people are yours? What do they need in order to survive?” He asked as he signalled the javelin while tapping his communicator. “Batman. we may have a situation.”
-Faz only spoke through his telepathy.- ‘We are a species dependant on cold climates…Earth is too warm for us, and while it’s oceans are perfect for my peepol to survive, it’s recent warmth only makes it acceptable in the Northern and southern regions. I fear that in time, it will be too warm for us and we will be unable to escape. That is why I am here on Luna…This environment is perfect for my peepol. Food and other systems are self sustaining. Our evacuation plans are currently underway, but we require a location to settle before Helspont eliminates us.’ –Batman was sitting in the laboratory analyzing the DNA from the Mutated arachnid, when J’onn spoke.- (Conroy) “J’onn…I was beginning to worry.” –Batman’s voice held no empathy or emotion, making his words seem almost humorous for anyone listening to the conversation.- “What is your update? Did you rescue the sender of the distress?”
Helspont: The Dreadnaught Class Behemoth A flag ship for the daemonite empire almost. A Ship so massive it could be seen towering over a planet from the ground, while the ship was in space. It could block out the sun over a reigon of land. "Interesting....Providence...take us to Earth...I think it's time that my investment paid off." A Dark laugh fills the ship, making even the other daemonites on board uncomfortabe almost fearful for their lives.
Jonn: Listened in depth to what Faz was needing and what he was wishing to do, before he regarded the area that they were on. Earth did not have the ability to colonize the world yet. But that did not mean that they would not be able to do so. In which case, to give a way a world so close to their own, it was not something that he was going to make on his own. Thus the reason the had contacted Batman. “In a way. It appears as though he is primarily a first of many. They are wanting to colonize the moon.” He stated, knowing exactly how outlandish it sounded.
Captain Marvel: Walks out of his appartment and turns around putting the key into the lock and turns it then heads outside. He had finished his chores around the house, and his homework and decided to head up to the Watchtower. He glances around and slides his earpiece out of his pocket and puts it into his left ear but leaves it off for the moment. He spreads his hands. "Shazam!" The sky rumbles and the lightening strikes him revealing Marvel. He taps the comm on now, catching the end of the conversation between Jonn and Batman. "Hey, Batman, J'onn everything okay up at the Tower?"
-Batman listened to J’onn’s situation.- “You know we can’t give away that territory…It’s declared United States and U.N territory…We’ll need to hold a hearing and a committee about this…And I don’t think it will work in our friends favor…Captain Marvel, everything is under control…Flash is handling the situation in Central City. Aquaman and Doctor Fate are handling the situation in Africa.” –Faz would then say to J’onn- ‘Does this mean you are unable to help us? I will seek out this U.N and I will talk to him. He may understand me and my situation. He does not know Helspont.’
Jonn: shook his head to his new aquaintance, while peering down towards the white dust and rock upon its surface. “The U.N. Stands for the United Nations of Earth. It is not a person. It is an assembly of representatives. Each having their own agenda, and each wanting something in return for everything that they are required to look up, yet alone do soemthing about. And I feel for you and your peoples situation. Tell me of this Helspont. and I will do what I can.” He stated before he tapped the communication again. “Of course, Batman. We may need to force a compromise. From what he is saying, it appears as though his people are being forced off of their world.”
Captain Marvel: He listens to Batman and nods. "Well I am glad everything seems to be okay there. I am coming up to the WT. Can you open the Hanger Doors J'onn? Thanks." He floats into the air and then shoots off into the sky, not at his fastest speed but enough to gain some momentum. He slows down to respond to Batman and J'onn but thinks better of it and continues up into the sky.
-Faz nodded somewhat understanding what J’onn was saying.- ‘Helspont is a god…I think…but he rules through fear. He only wants my peepol for their telepathic abilities…He may want you too, J’onn Jonzz…He has killed most of my peepol who are warriors. There are primarily intellects of society…I am not an intellect of my peepol, I am a warrior. One of the fewest and youngest. Our method of getting to Luna will not be traced by Helspont. He will not know what happened and we will be save from him.’
Jonn: Nodded his head towards him as he spoke of Hellspont seeking species with a telepathic ability. Now this was troubling. If what the younger one was saying was true, then that meant that what remained of his people on mars may not be safe either. This did not bode well for the immidiate future. “Assumsions can lead to people getting killed, Faz. Assume nothing and prepare for the worst.” He stated as he crossed his arms thinking. “Tell me, how well can your physilogy adapt to the forth planet within the solar system?”
Captain Marvel: Flies into the higher atmosphere and then heads out of it after a pause to take in the beauty. He turns and skyrockets out again and into Space and flies inside the Watch Tower landing on the ramp leading outside. He turns and heads inside and up to the Control Center where Batman was. "Batman can you fill me in on what's going on? Sounds like something serious is going down."
-Faz nodded.- ‘The fourth planet...I don’t know…We have not been there. I am the first of my kind to venture into a new system. I was thrown here through a portal and I’ve been communicating what I know back to my people. I have a small communication pod a few meters back.’ –Batman listened to Captain Marvel and J’onn, before speaking to J’onn.- “If you’re going to recommend Mars, perhaps you should leave out the part regarding massive genocide…” –Batman didn’t know the Martian Manhunter’s history or story…Batman still didn’t understand why The Martian Manhunter was helping humans and Earth, but his dedication was something Batman couldn’t question by evidence of sacrifice and willingness to help. Batman did deduce through telescope picture that the Civilization on Mars did infact destroy itself in a war so catastrophic that there were little to no survivors. Batman also knew of J’onn’s urban legend in Middle town as<C>
“The Martian Manhunter” having a few tourist attractions named after the strange creature who fought off supernatural creatures in defense of humanity.- “Captain, J’onn is on the Moon opening discussion and dialog with an alien race. I don’t know the details, but they appear to be telepaths and J’onn is gathering all of the essential information. Your presence really isn’t necessary. I have Diana and Superman on standby if back-up is needed.”
Batman: (Post Order for group 1 = Aquaman > Doctor Fate > Jonn.)
Batman: (^ cape town)
Black Condor: (Central City for Phantom Lady and I.)
Batman: (Group 2 = Flash > Black Condor > Phantom > Captain Marvel.)
Batman: ^ Central city
Batman: (Going to add Enchantress to Group 1)
Batman: group 1 = Aquaman > Doctor Fate > Enchantress > Jonn
Batman: (That leaves group 3 = Batman > Black Canary > Jonn)
Cape Town, South Africa…Two feet were dragged across the ground, as two men dragged the dead woman’s body over towards a pile of corpses and tossed the woman onto the large fire of dead bodies. The tropic setting and environment of a modern city, almost like Miami, Florida, the boardwalk was a popular tourist attraction, but things have dramatically changed since “The Devil” took over ruling Cape Town with his “Hell Hounds” gang. Men with AK-47’s walked through the streets, a quarter of the city was subjected to their rule out of fear of what the Devil would do would do. Four lane highways separated by small islands of grass and trees marked the path that the roads followed around the city.
Central city, U.S.A...Pointed green mandibles began clicking against cement walls, people were screaming in fear, as large overgrown and mutated spiders climbed on top of cars and buildings. They moved with lightning reflexes as bullets flew past them, police officers struggling to maintain the situation. On top of the rooftops stood a larger, much more evolved creature, hardly human. Large mandibles from its mouth and moth like wings on its back. Long arms with fur covering and bulking up its shoulders. Large red eyes with large scissor teeth. The creature stood on two legs bent and deformed watching the spiders run rampant. In anticipation, Charaxes would begin to mumble.- “Fast…fast…fast…”
On Board the Watchtower…Batman was running his black gloves across the keyboard and control room of the Watchtower, next to him was the Martian Manhunter. Batman spoke into the microphone and communication device.- “Flash…They’re working their way towards the city police headquarters…You can cut them off at Jackson street by cutting down-…” –Batman stopped instructing Barry when, he watched through satellite feed, the Spiders began implementing military tactics, two by two, each covering the other. It should be noted that the spiders were a hybrid species, appearing to have the legs of a spider, the torso and head of a human, with spider like features on their faces Their human like arms were large scythes that were much like over grown mandibles that were coming out of the spider hybrids mouth. Batman would then instruct Barry.- “Back up is on the way…See if you can get me a sample of their DNA…”
Aquaman: The portal opened and out stepped the King of Atlantis out onto the beach, the sand sinking in a bit from his weight. He could taste and smell the salt in the air from the breeze as it blew flecks of water up from the surf. A sigh touched his lips as he adjusted the Trident worn on his back before looking towards the sorcerer that brought him here. “I thought that is was clear, Fate, when we finished with the Old Ones. I do not want to be a part of your team. Atlantis requires my attention and the seas are still restless in places,” Orin continued their conversation from his throne room sternly. Aquaman had agreed to come on this task with his ally partly out of the, if tenuous, friendship that the two had. Being a part of the team also had other benefits, he thought, as Diana’s smile came to his mind, but that did not mean such things were all that were needed to sway him. Seventy percent of the world was water and nearly all of it he watched and protected alone. Not even his
Aquaman: kingdom cared enough to protect the sea unless there was some benefit for them.
Black Canary: Black Canary turns to Bruce. "Looks pretty rough down there. Would you like to me aid with the spiders Batman? I'm sure I can help knock some of them out." She turns to Wonder Woman to see where she wants to go.
Doctor Fate: “ I am not here to force you to change your mind Orin, In fact I believe that you will do so on your own. My Father use to tell me, Think and all of the ancestors think with you, Fight and you fight alone.” He landed and began to walk with Orin. “ HE walked in pace matching that of his friend.” Atlantis survived thousands of years without you, I think it can survive without you for a short time when the rest of the world needs you.” His golden cape draped over his shoulders.” Besides isn’t it nice to have someone to talk to other than Fish last I recall you didn’t talk to your own people much, to busy fighting your one man war.” Fate scanned the area the aura was not unlike that of Gotham City, or Korea. It was broken, and one man was responsible for it.
The Flash: Central City U.S.A. A calm, peaceful city. One of which the Flash personally patrolled by the Flash. Everything was normal within the city. Oh, except for the overrunning of giant Spiders. Not that Barry Allen was afraid of Spiders. Talking gorilla's was more his thing. Though, the chaos that tore through the city would be enough to turn anyone arachnophobic. Though, these were far from any usual Spider that The Flash had come across before. Part of the creatures were humanoid. Where they actually human? Where they humans transformed into this.. 'No Barry..' He began to shut the conspiracies down within his head. 'We don't make judgement calls without proof.' "Flash to Batman. I hear you." The Scarlet Speedster took the turn, and cut through an ally, then a yard, making his way to Jackson street. Stopping sharply, as he came across two of the Spider hyrbrids. "We need to come up with a name for these monstrousitys." As he spoke, the Spider creatures started the process of trying to pin
The Flash: Barry in a corner. "Back up would definitely be appreciated." One of the Spiders foolishly lunged at him, and he side stepped it with relative ease. "Consider it done. Flash out." Quickly sidestepping another creature, he took off. He ran, and slid past one of the creatures. Barry Allen double timed it to the Central City Pd, where the cops were struggling to keep the building. He took a few notes of the creatures, while he had a second. 'Military styled. 2 by 2 cover formation. And each was showing a remarkable ability to adapt, to the obstacals that the Central City PD was showing. It looked like there was a new priority. The Flash needed to clear the building of these creatures, for he needed to get inside and get the proper equipment for a DNA sample.
Enchantress: The Enchantress felt the power of the Lord of Order drawing her to a region, a region she had never ventured into before. A slight fear trickled over her skin as she viewed herself in the mirror, knowing that she must go when summoned. June whispered, “Enchantress…” to change into her powerful form, the emerald essence consuming her. She sighed as she stood from the stool, her muscles flexing with great power, her aura exuding a seductive influence. Her long raven hair cascaded down her back over her long cape, her corset was strapped tightly around her bosom and torso, though her abdomen was revealed…toned and tight, a bit of light glistening off of it. Her pants clasped tightly to her athletic, long legs, her brown eyes observing her form in interest. Her fear seemingly dissolved within the power of her own sorcery, a soft laugh escaping her lips as she simply made a thought, transporting to the area where Doctor Fate now lay in wait. As she appeared on the beach, the Enchantress –
Enchantress: immediately bowed to him, her form respectful and loyal, her hair tumbling over her shoulders, glistening in the sun. “My Lord….you summoned me..?” The vixen inquired lowly, her eyes lowered in humility. An obvious stretch for the Succubus.
Wonder Woman: She looked over Batman's shoulder at the screen and shook her head. "Why are we wasting time up here?" she said, not understanding why she must stay away from the action. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as she glowered over at the two humans. "We are not helping anyone so far removed from the action," she muttered. Truth be told, her body was still recovering from the event with the Old Ones, and her spirt from the events with Superman, the Kent family and Miss Lane, not that she would ever let anyone know how any of it effected her. She shook her head. "I cannot simply stand idly by," she muttered. Her temper was still firey, she hadn't yet learned to be patient, or the wisdom her Mother was hoping the impetuious, ready to fight Princess would learn in the Patriarch's world. Her boots clicked on the tiles as she walked out of the command centre.
Black Condor: A light purple energy opened in the sky and down flew Condor with Phantom Lady in his arms." More giant bugs..." He landed on the ground about 10 feet behind the Flash. The statuesque Navajo moved forwards." Batman sent us." Nothing else was said as he moved towards the building holding his hand towards the creatures sending a wave of tornado force winds in hopes of clearing a path for the Flash." We will deal with these monsters...Do what you need to."
Jonn: inwardly sighed at the calling of Batman. The man had ordered the Flash to engage the enemy. He disapproved of the tactics that sent someone into a situation alone. But given who it was, and his ability to evade everything but a stop sign, it was a sound choice. Thus he peered down towards his own terminal and blinked at the news broadcasts of the four island city. One of the islands was under attack, helicopter footage showing the murder and disposal of human bodies. Now that made the martians red eyes narrow slightly. The new system that Bruce had designed to monitor and track all League members was surprisingly accurate. Green fingers danced accross the board as he accessed the external camera's from payphones, traffic camera's, ATM's, Public transit stations, and monitored the situation. "Doctor Fate. I'm tracking activity Ten Blocks north of your position. It appears that the locals disagree with the local padre and his church. Terrorists armed with Ak 47 machine guns it appears."
Phantom Lady: First Bees, now spiders. First mutant bees, now mutant spiders. "Swear to god next time you drag me off a photo shoot to get covered in giant bug guts I will personally explode every single one of them I see right over your head, Condor." Stormy Knight was not happy. Yes, she understood that this whole 'hero' thing required her to be a little more flexible than her acting and publicity schedule would've liked....but he and batman had somehow convinced her to join another team. The portal opened, and they landed behind flash, and she quickly lowered her green lenses to start evaluating the situation. Lots of spiders. "What's the plan here, Flash, or is it just a free for all splat a bug party?" Noticing one of the spiders had started to recover from the wind that Condor had sent forth, she quickly crossed her bands- a purple lens exploded from within the spider, and it fell to the ground in two pieces. " 'Cause I'm all for getting rid of bugs;but if there's something else we can do..."
Aquaman: Arthur just shook his head. There were times that he wanted to hit the man hard enough to ring the helmet he wore even if he knew better. What made things worse, at the moment, was that Fate was so often right in the end. He'd even been right about the battle with the Old Ones. From the begining he'd had faith that the rag tag team he'd joined with would manage to overcome their foes and, as thing turned out, they had been as much of an asset in the battle as had been predicte. When the woman appeared next to them, Orin's eyes turned to her and narrowed his gaze for a moment as he felt the wave of magical power radiate from her. "You took up a pupil, Fate? Weren't you the one who preached how busy your duties kept you?" A bit of a smirk came across his lips for a moment before it disappeared. "So which direction are we heading?"
Captain Marvel: Flies through the streets of Central City. He had never worked with anyone else before, but to get a chance to work with Batman, and so many of these other Leaguers, it was a opportunity he couldn't turn down. He slows down and lands lightly near where Flash, Condor, and Phantom were to get a chance to look over the situation. He wasn't exactly a tactician but it was obvious that the spiders were covering each other. Marvel takes in the sight for a moment. “Well I am all for stepping on some bugs, but shouldn't we focus on whoever is controlling these things? Perhaps they are being mind controlled?” He picks up one of the spiders and tosses it away from the team and turns to Flash and the the others for their thoughts.
Doctor Fate: " No I did not Orin." He looked to June." Do not call me such, I am not your lord or master Ms. Moon. Nabu must have summoned you because I did no such thing.." Fate looked in the direction J'onn was speaking of." We are on our way. Enchantress, I want you to focus on saving people. Martian I will create a distraction infiltrate the group and try to determine the location of the man known as "The Devil". Aquaman I believe we could use a bit of rain don't you think?" Fate flew into the air towards the location quickly holding his hand down at the focusing on the guns.He thought for only a second and the guns polymorphed into super soakers.
The Flash: Not that the Flash was one to normally give orders. He was a founding member of the Justice League, and he saw what needed to be done. "Alright. I'll make sure that the back is sealed off. I'm gonna get the PD to barricade themselves in. You two assist eachother, and make sure nothing -not- human gets in those doors. If you're able to drive them off, Willford's avenue is only a block away. And the river is near. Send them for a swim." The Flash pointed at the two very large, very breakable glass doors, as he gave the order. In a Flash, the Scarlet Speedster took off, only to stop at the side of the building. He began to vibrate his molecules, allowing him to phase through the solid wall of the PD. Once inside, he was attacked by one of the Spider creatures. With a quick reaction, he ducked under a scythe. "C'mon. You're faster than that." He taunted the creature. What seemed to be the lone one. To make matters worse, ontop it it, he picked up a stapler, and beamed it at the creatures
The Flash: head. It would do as Barry had planned, and annoyed the creature. The next move was the plan. Barry quickly dodged the Spider creature as it flung itself in a rage at the Flash. By the time the creature had hit the floor, the door had been closed, and locked. It was stuck, and secure in the confiscated evidence room. Hurriedly, Barry rushed to every exit, or possible doorway that there was. He stacked up desk, behind desk, behind desk of each exit. Once satisfied the building would be secure, he hurried to his lab. Grabbing a petri dish, to get a proper DNA sample. "One DNA sample. Coming right up."
The Flash would note that the river is the Missouri River. Being it's Central City Missouri.
Enchantress: June furrowed her brows as he corrected her, straightening her form to stand to full height, obviously feeling awkward. The Enchantress tried to show respect to a higher being and she is cast down, her eyes glancing away to avoid his. “I will as you ask…” She answered softly, walking beside Orin, as she gazed into the beautiful sea. Her brown eyes then turned to the King of Atlantis, attempting to soften her eyes. “Thank you for saving me the other day…I would not be here if you had not come to my aid.” She nodded genuinely to him, her hips swaying as she walked in the purposeful destination. “I just say this before anything else occurs…we never know what will happen…” She ran a hand through her long raven tresses, attempting to be on her best behavior. The vixen was prone to high emotions and a need to intervene, and her goal right now was to do what she was purposed for.
Black Condor: pushing his fist through one located near him his fist went through the bug and into the wall behind him. He took off flying smashing bugs on the way up the building." These are not as endless as the ants were Stormy. We will not spend days fighting them." An elbow crashing into anotherthen Blasting a gust of wind towards the ground to knock them back down the building" Stormy, Can you teleport them without teleporting the building?" He smashed more and more spiders. One latched onto his arm biting him. He gritted his teeth and crushed it's head with his other arm. He attempted to contain them with his tornado force winds in hopes Stormy could teleport them and be done with it.
-It was about this time that J’onn would begin to feel and sense of someone moving around in his head. A voice spoke.- ‘Help!’ –It was bubbly, faded, and sounded almost like the voice was behind him coming from down the hall way. Batman and Black Canary didn’t seem to notice the voice as they were observing the combat through the televisions.- “Dinah, can you get down to the surface and retrieve that sample from the Flash? Take the transporter…I’ll patch you through to a location where you will be safe, but I need that sample.” –Batman shifted his gaze to see Aquaman and Dr. Fate’s status. Batman’s voice followed up by saying.- “Things are more slower than I anticipated…”<c>
–Charaxes watched the Flash move with hyper speed, however; the Flash movements were framed in normal framed to 60 per second. Charaxes leaped off the building and dived towards Black Condor attempting to strike at his back, the large insect like creature went to chomp down on Black Condor’s neck.-
Aquaman: He chuckled a bit at the tone of Fate’s voice took on when he joked about the Enchantress. As the group of three began to walk forward, the Sea King’s eyes turned to the woman as she spoke up and he waved his left hand, “Don’t fret about it. You were in danger and bleeding out, so it was the least I could do.” Aquaman did not enjoy coming up to the surface because he never really felt right above the water. Most of his childhood had been spent on land, but once he had taken up the responsibilities of being king, passed down to him from his mother, life beneath the ocean was just… more right even if he wasn’t welcomed because of his human heritage. Pulling his Trident from his back, one of the weapons of the god Poseidon himself, he paused and raised the weapon up towards the sky. The clouds began to gather above, the sky darkened, and rain began to pour.
Phantom Lady: Stepping up toward the doorway, she rolled her eyes at Condor, before tapping at her lenses a few times. "There's quite a few in there..." She paused, watching as he splattered several on the concrete at the base of the building. It was more precise than she'd done in a long while...but there was nothing saying that she couldn't at least get the ones on the outside. She set to work on these, teleporting them deep into the river nearby. Watching up the walls, she focussed on teleporting the creatures that moved around the building- either smashing them apart from the inside or simply relocating them deep within the missouri river. Several had come closer to her than she would've liked, and with a quick movement, their guts splattered over the sidewalk. "I hate bugs." Glancing up, she only noticed the creature a moment before it would've gotten to john. "Condor, you got incoming!"
Black Canary: Black Canary nods. "I'll bring back that sample as quickly and as safely as I can." She runds down the cooridor her boots clicking on the tile. She does'nt hear anything and goest to the transporter. She is scanned and runs into the glowing tube coming out down below in a small room tha opens up into phone booth, she smirks at the cliche. She takes back alleys, knowing from the maps she saw on the monitors the quickes route to get there. She sees a spider creature on one of the walls runningtowards her. She charges it flips over it, kicking it in the head, a nd hits the ground running, going towards the police station, nothing was going to stop her from her mission, seeing the station in sight.
Jonn: Turned is head to the side to regard his steaming cup of tea. True it did seem unprofessional, unfortunately there was little that he could do from where he was other than monitor the situation and appraise as needed. So sipping the tea he watched until something unfamiliar spoke to him. It was only for a moment, and it seemed to be in the room with them, behind him. The Martian's grip upon the cup loosened to where the cup dropped and shattered upon the ground as he stood up peering behind him. He took note that his two friends did not seem to hear the voice that had echoed through the room.And so he telepathically began to probe outwards, cautiously, preparing for a battle of the minds as he moved forwards down the hall. If they had an intruder, he would find them, this took president over what the others were doing. ~Who is there?~
Captain Marvel: He shrugs not really getting the answer he was hoping for. He noticed Charaxes flying towards Condor to take a bit out of him. Marvel crushes a spider and then tosses it out of the way and zips for him. His right hook connects with Charaxes sending out a wave to blast a few nearby spider creatures into the walls nearby, probably covering Phantom or Condor in bug guts. Another left hook would connect with the other side of his face hopefully sending him backwards into a car and smashing it. He wasn't finished yet though, he flies above Charaxes and delivers several more blows, non lethal of course, he could have probably seriously hurt him if he had used his full strength but there was no telling how strong it was but hopefully it would have given him a few bruised ribs or cracked at couple to slow Charaxes down.
Batman: (Group 2 = Flash > Black Canary > Black Condor > Phantom.)
Batman: (And > Captain Marvel^)
Enchantress: June nodded to Orin before disappearing into an unknown area, though she sensed this was where much carnage had occurred. Her brown eyes gazed at the street in horror, women lying all over the road crying out for help, blood covering them, children shot to death on the curbs. Compassion overwhelmed the Enchantress and she knelt at the first woman she came to, hovering her palms over the woman’s body. The woman was young, maybe the age of June herself, and she had obviously been raped. The woman reached out to her with extended arms, her hands motioning her forward, and June did just that. She began to heal the woman of her injuries, a bright green light surrounding the female, making her whole once more. She helped the woman to stand to her feet, making sure she was strong enough to walk. However, a terrorist watched in the bushes, prepared to do the same thing he had done to the defenseless woman. He ran at June full force, AK 47 extended ready to bash her in the skull. However, -c-
Enchantress: The Enchantress was fully prepared with her defense orb, as the man made contact with her space. He bounced off of the invisible shield, and she turned, extending her palm out to fry his nervous system with electricity. She gazed darkly down at his scorched corpse; ready to mete the same fate to any other offenders she came in contact with. She returned her attention to the woman, wrapping her arm around her midsection to lead her to safety. -end-
-Batman jumped and prepared himself for action when the glass container smashed against the steel floor and caused the tea to spill. Batman’s fists were clutched and prepare to punch whoever was behind him.- “What is it J’onn?” –The voice would call to J’onn.- ‘Come closer! Please! I need help!’ –The voice ushered J’onn to head towards the shuttle bay, it was a few floors below where Batman and J’onn were, The Martian Manhunter could hear the sound of someone trapped within the steel frame, however if he were to move through the floor he would find nothing of the sort. As he came closer to the Shuttle bay, he would have a clearer connection to the voice. –
-Charaxes would wiggle as Captain Marvel placed a smack down on him, causing green and red blood to spill out of his torso, arms, and face.-
The Flash: The Flash made his way out of the Police Department, with his sample dish in hand. He was almost in shock of the three moving. He quickly approached Condor, and Phantom Lady, in hyperspeed. He ran around the two of them, that flung away all of the Spider like creatures that were around, creating a weak enough Tornado like vortex to clear the area. When he walked from it, toward Condor, and the Phantom Lady. He was very visibly upset. He spoke harshly, and began to the scold the two. "What in the.. these could be transformed humans! As of right now." Barry began to shout, frustrated with what could be a gigantic loss of life. "UNTIL YOU'RE TOLD OTHERWISE. NOTHING FATAL. Drive them away. Use your powers to scare them away. Let the river take them down stream. DON'T KILL ANYTHING!" Barry didn't bother lecturing Captain Marvel. He was more than certain the good Captain hear him. Once away from the few, he collected a blood sample from one of the bodies that was slain in the battle.
The Flash: Well, a blood and hair sample. Once the dish was closed, the Flash took off, pressing his communicator, to activate his communicator. "Batman, I got your sample. I need you to send someone to pick this up. Give me a drop off point." The Flash was unaware at this exact second that Dinah was in Central City for the pick up, but would surely be informed.
Jonn: Turned his head to regard his friend with a raised eyebrow before he looked forwards. "You do not hear it....... Someone is calling for help." He stated, now deducing that it was indeed telepathic in nature. Troubling. A telepath upon the station? Something was amiss. And he was going to find out what it was. But rushing forwards was not his way. No. He suspected a trap, and thus he walked forwards in no great hurry. Down the steps, he counted, peering this way and that, suspecting an enemy within every shadow. It was something that Bruce would know all to well. Allowing ones eyes to adjust to the light before entering the room was smart. It meant that you were not partially blinded by the light for those few moments when someone could do true damage to a person. And soon enough he was at the Shuttle Bay Doors, standing upon the doors axis, eyeing the room with much disdain. "Here." He stated at last, as his hand drifted to the consol on the wall, activating the lights.
Black Canary: Canary clearing the alley heard an updated report about Flash's location he was over a block. She knew he could easily get to her, but as she looked that direction she saw it full of the spider people they were all charging towards her. Apparently someone had tipped them off, maybe the one in teh alley. Under her breath she says, "Okay, let's clear you a path Flash from these dryders" remembering the geeks from her high school days. She gives a stance and takes a deep breath. She lets loose a high keening scream, as sonic waves toss and knock them off their legs. Incapaciating them as they twitch and clutch their ears. she starts to run. If flash didn't hear that callling card, she didn't know what would.
Aquaman: With the rainstorm summoned, Arthur returned his Trident to its place on his back. Alone now with nothing but the sights before him and his thoughts, he began to walk. Aquaman looked about the area, shaking his head at the senseless taking of life and and destruction. This... this is what he came to the surface for? Places like this did not want help. Nothing they did would ever change things here for any amount of time. A pang of pity thumped in his chest as he walked onward, wondering what exactly they were here to do battle with.
Black Condor: Growling as he ripped the monster from his back throwing it over his shoulder and tossing it into the punch of Captain Marvel. He glared to Flash his hand over the bite wound on his neck." We are a strike force little red man, we do not have time to remove these creatures without crushing them, or perhaps you would rather them harm innocents." The statuesque man looked down at the red speedster un sympatheticly.
Doctor Fate: Fate flew into the sky" Face me Devil! Come show me why these people fear you!" The rain poured down on him as he floated there. "I have your aura now..it took a moment this town reaks of your influence. Agent of Chaos come meet the Lord of Order!" He opens his hands wider spreading his arms apart." Soon enough a man holding a fire ball appeared looking to Doctor Fate and holding a hostage in his right arm. " You talk alot Golden one."
-Batman began following J’onn into the darkness, both leading down into the Shuttle bay, where Batman quietly armed his Batarangs and grappling hook.- “The sensors didn’t say there was an intrusion…” –It was then J’onn heard the voice.- ‘You can hear me? I need help…They’re coming to get me, I can’t run much longer…’ –Batman suddenly heard the last part of the mental message, he turned his attention to J’onn.- “I heard that…Where are you?” – The voice would begin fading as it said.- ‘I’m…on the surface of the silver planet…’ –Batman paused and seemed intrigued.- “You’re on the Moon?” –The Spiders in Central city would begin collapsing after Black Canary made her scream, the sudden shriek caused the creatures to pass out or cower into dark hiding places such as parking garages.-
Enchantress: The woman nodded to June in appreciation, speaking to her in her native language, though June could understand. “Thank you…for saving me…I was walking to do my daily errands…and I was attacked out of nowhere…” She struggled to speak as she leaned on the Enchantress. June gazed at her in sympathy, her strength supporting the woman’s weight fully. She guided the woman into a makeshift hospital, though it was highly lacking in equipment. There was a cot available and June lay her down, dabbing the woman’s forehead with a cloth. “Do not thank me…it is my duty to serve and to aid…” She smiled kindly at her. “We will take down those responsible for this…just rest in security, knowing that you are safe now.” The woman gave her a small smile as her eyes closed, fading into a peaceful rest. Enchantress was raging inside with fury at the evils of men…she clenches her fists and marched outside, her slender form quaking with anger. She turned toward the makeshift hospital and extended a shield -c-
Enchantress: over it, making it a safe haven for locals. She spoke to Orin in telepathy, “The so called hospital on the Main Strip…I have made it into a safe haven. All wounded may go there, they will not be harmed.” She then turned, only to find herself facing an onslaught of men all around her. “You want this?” She challenged them, her eyes turning black, her aura turning red. “You’ve got it…fuckers…”
Jonn: turned his head to regard Batman with a raised eyebrow, as though silently saying 'really?' And that was when he moved forwards peering towards the gate eyeing the area around them. "How many of our foes deal with the super natural, Batman? Just because we can't see it, does it mean it does not exist?" He stated as he heard the voice again. And then Batman could hear it, His red eyes narrowed before he turned and regarded the man and he nodded his head towards him, turning his head to regard the Javelinn Jet that the Batman had designed. "Can you fly it?"
Phantom Lady: To be honest, there was every likelyhood that those she had teleported into the river were perfectly fine. Loathe that she was to admit it. But, if they wanted to play powderpuff that was the way they'd have to for now. However, like hell she'd let some live after nearly taking her down in the process. SHADE and Sam had trained her better than all that. "We don't have time for this." She snarled as she glanced toward Condor, unable to continue what she'd been intent upon when the scream rang through the air, cringing. "Three guesses, first two are wrong." Any moron would know who that was. Hollywood starlet she may be, moron, she was not. However, the spiders seemed to be plenty bothered by it and started either receeding or twitching on the ground. She was still seething slightly, but at the moment, she was keeping her temper under check. Which was better than she would have done a few years ago.
-Batman nodded to J’onn regarding the Javelin, to clarify, he didn’t design…Batman used hand signals to report upstairs.- “Can you handle it? I’ll send Diana if you need Back up…” –Batman said keeping his face expressionless, lacking of emotion. His mind, if J’onn were to read it, would express no concern, rather faith in J’onn’s ability to handle the situation below.- “As far as I know, Clark is the only one with enemies who can breathe in space. But, there are creatures in the universe than just us …If you need help, use your communicator.”
Captain Marvel: He glanced around at Flash and nodded before flying off to deal with more of the spiders. Charaxes would most likely be incapacitated now but it would be hard for him to move. He turns towards Condor catching the spider and sending a jolt of lighting through it to render it unconscious. “There is no need to kill anymore of them. Incapacitate them. I never kill anyone, or anything unless they are robots or something with absolutely no chance of redemption. Unless Flash or Bats gives the word otherwise, I will follow per their instructions.” he smiles politely and turns to the spiders hoping they would have at least divided among themselves now that the one controlling them was out of the picture for now. He slowed down again as he spotted the spiders dropping from Black Canary's scream. After a cautious moment, he landed back on the ground and looked to Condor and Lady. “Is...that it?” he turns his head to glance back at Caraxes to see if he had moved at all.
The Flash: The Flash was already gone, before they could respond to the man in red. Right now, priorities had picked up for the Flash. If the two couldn't be trusted not to kill, then The Flash would need to do this on hi- His thoughts were cut off, when he heard a loud-sonic scream. If that wasnt' the Canaries calling card, well. Flash would be needing some ear plugs. He honed in on the sound of the scream, and arrived at Dinah within miliseconds. "Batman sent you? Take this to him. I need to get back to babysitting." The Flash was still annoyed. He felt a touch bothered, for how he yelled at the pair. Barry Allen was normally a calm, collected man. Not today. Too much to do today. Once the petri dish was in Black Canarys hand, the Flash took off, back to the group that was disposing of the Spiders. The Flash arrived back in time, to listen to Condors response. To which he responded to him, "Strike force or not. You may be killing the innocents. No killing. Atleast until we know with what we're
The Flash: dealing with. Our goal, is to get who ever is behind this behind bars." Barry was able to calm himself down, to think clearly. "Listen.. Phantom, Condor.. you two head to the north end of the city. Condor. Get in the sky, and look out for any groups of people being attacked. Swoop in, save all that you can. Phantom.." Barry thought for a moment, but then began to speak once more. "Get to the north end of the city. Start there. Our Spiderfriends aren't good at swimming, but they are good at floating, and drifting down river. Keep sending them there. Defend yourself if you have to. Captain. "Again the Flash started, coming up with a strategy." the City center. We get it cleared out, maybe we can contain them. Get as many as you can, make a makeshift lock up. If they're people, they'll need to be cure. If they're monsters. Atleast they'll be in one place." With that, the Flash took off. He didn't want to leave the city in their hands. But he had no choice. Containment was needed.
The Flash: The detective ran off, several miles down the river. He began to build up a containment area, as tall as he could manage. Making a large-fifty foot tall brick box. It took him a couple of minutes, which was a while, considering how fast Barry Allen moved. Once it was all together, Flash had the task of collecting the Spiders from the waters edge, and putting their tired, worn out bodies in the containment he built.
Doctor Fate: ( media.wizards.com/images/magic/daily/td/yta3243sdfysdfgdsgs.jpg ) The Devil pushed his hostage infront of him then burning the person alive." You dare challenge me Golden Man? I will break you, grind your bones to dust." He jumped from the balcony and landed on his feet soon rocks began to grow from his form as he looked to Fate." Well Show me your power little man!, I am the Devil!" Fate looked to "The Devil" No it is beneathe me to fight you, but my friend here would probably love to get his hands dirty...Orin?"
Black Canary: Canary smiled as Flash appeared next to her. Now that was service. "Yes, I'm here for pick up." She smirks as usually happy go luck flash was bothered by the other heroes. She was going to say something but he was gone. she ran back into the alley, glad to see the spider from earlier was lying in a heap. She jumped over him, but was caught by flailing leg, he was playing possum. she landed on her back cradling the dish so it didn't break. she fended off the moving legs and gave it a hit in the gut, what she thought was the gut and made it curl up in pain. she jumped to her feet and ran back to the phone booth, typed in a code and the back wall opened up, she granted access and was transported back to the Watch Tower. She tapped her earpiece. "I'm back and ready to drop off the samples."
Doctor Fate: " None do more ill than those perpetually endeavoring to do “good”." towards Flash then he took to the sky heading towards the north end" That man is going to get alot of people killed." He was speaking ofcourse of Flash as he continued on." He reminds me of Ray." Condor glared at the thought of the man. Flying even faster.
Captain Marvel: He listened to Barry explain what he was supposed to do and nodded. “Gotcha!” He zipped past everyone else, grabbing the unconscious body of Charaxes and flew him a ways before setting him down and building a makeshift cage out of a few scrapped cars. He flew off to the center where it was filled with them. “Lovely. Let's see...” He paused for a moment before flying to the middle of the block and takes light poles from the streets, ripping them out of the ground more like, and them set them back into the ground in a wide circle as close together as he could get it. He makes a makeshift roof as well with rubble and leaves a hole for himself to fly in and out of. -c-
Captain Marvel: It would do for now. Marvel clapsed his hands together rubbing them back and forth hoping this would work and spreads his hands sending out small waves of electricity to zap them into unconsciousness. He scooped them all up and began setting them in the cell handfuls at a time. Although there was quite a lot. -end-
Aquaman: The voice of June entered into his mind and he nodded, speaking back to her [Good, but if you need help, call out. Don't do more than you can safely handle.] Orin continued to walk forward, the telepathic link remained allowing him to feel the growing anger in her mind. She was in battle and whatever she was seeing had struck her deep on an emotional level. Aquaman continued to walk through the city until he felt a sensation of powerful dark magic within his left hand. He clenched it tight and looked up towards the sky, his eyes now on Fate and the demon that he hovered in front of. "Hmph..." he muttered, scowling as the thing, "If it's battle you want then I'm opponent. And Fate... you should watch over your student. I feel something's chaning in her." With that out of the way, Orin's attention was now free to focus entirely on the situation with the dark being before him.
Enchantress: As her eyes shifted black viewing the menacing circle of men around her, she felt the darkness of the Enchantress overwhelm her. June pulled the breast dagger from in between her bosom, the emeralds on its hilt glittering in the sunlight. "Dagger fly true..." She chanted as she spun in a circle quickly, then releasing, the dagger burying itself in the depths of a man's stomach. She laughed at the sight of blood squirting from him and released her hold, the bloodied dagger fallling back into her hands. She flipped backward, hitting one of the men in the nose with her stiletto heel, breaking it, and knocking him to the ground. She landed on her heels, in a crouching position, her eyes glittering maliciously. "Two down...six to go..." She murmured to herself, the hatred of these men overwhemling her. Her hatred resided in the bitter root that had formed when she was a mere teenager, aftering being attacked and almost raped. The thoughts trickled through her mind at an uneasy pace--
Enchantress: allowing Orin to see her past attack as well. She worked quickly to stab the dagger into each man, the blood flying, the bodies scattering, the sand blowing over her form. At the end of the battle, she sat in the middle of corpses, blood covering her slender form, and she brought her knees to her chest, burying her face there to hide her eyes. She had never felt stronger....but she had also never felt more vulnerable. Her mind was silent, save the few tears that cascaded down her ivory cheeks, her raven hair covering her face. -end-
The Flash: The hard part of the day was here, now. Barry had his hands full. Batman would have much more been equipped to this task. He had the equipment to hover over the water, and rescue these floating creatures. Flash simply couldn't run at them full speed, the process was much harder. He'd have to run across the water quickly, then slow down, just enough to grab the creature, that thankfully wasn't much heavier than a human. When he slowed down, his feet, and body wanted to sink into the water. With the Flash heavily pumping his legs, he was able to built up speed again. He'd be able to pull himself back ontop of the water. Not injuring the -whatever it was- and get them out of the water. Person by person, Flash set them inside of the brick containment center he'd built. Each water logged Spider exhausted from his battle with the Missouri.
The Flash: The Flash did this numberous times. Until the makeshift prison was stacked with these mutant Spiders. When he seemed to have them all. The Flash went back into hyper speed. He quickly needed to build a roof atop this brick contruct. Holes were left within areas of the brick, for breathing purposes, so it was hoped they would remain there.
Doctor Fate: "Fish to the frying pan!" The rocks on his body began to heat up , his eyes glowing orange." You ready Scro! I'm gonna burn you til there's nothin' left." He holds his hands out in front of him blasting a wave of fire towards Aquaman. " Looks like I'll be eatin' Fish tonight!!" He didn't pay attention to if Aquaman was actually hurt or not." While the man attacked Arthur, Fate went to collect June. When he saw the murder and chaos that she had created." That is enough Enchantress..." He crossed his arms and looked to her. He opened his hand to remove the dagger from her landing" Go to your home, now Ms. Moon...." He crossed his arms looking at the blood on the girl" You murdered these men, There is always a better way."
Captain Marvel: Once he had cleaned up as much as he could, he pressed the comm button in his ear. “Flash, I got as many as I could secured like you asked. I also secured the crazy guy who looked like he was leading the thing. They seemed to lose their teaming abilities after that but they were still pretty dangerous. They're all safe and sound for Batman until he can figure out if these things are human or not.” he paused seeing some of them try to drag a few citizens away. “One sec Flash,” he flew forward connecting two quick blows to the spider men and disposes of them into the cell. “I think you might be right about them being humans though, they are trying to secure more people. Where do you want me now?”
Jonn: Raised an eyebrow to him as he spoke about the others needing the guidance and under the circumstances, two different teams on the earth would tax the man’s mental skills. Thus he looked towards the Javelin again, before he nodded his head proceeding forwards, only to pause when he spoke of Superman only having those enemies that could opperate outside in the vaccum of space. Raising a hairless eyebrow he shook his head lightly to him. “Superman does not have the monoply on such beings. There are many that the Green Lantern Core have engaged.” He stated before nodding his head and walking up the ramp. “I’ll keep in touch.” He promised, closing it, before the Javilen went through the launch preperations, and then flew out of the bay in question.
-As J’onn launched the moon location had four dog like creatures, toned in a bright pink color racing after a small blue creature, webbed feet, short legs, webbed hands and arms. His webs connecting his torso to his body, it appeared like an earth squirrel except it was blue skinned. He was running quickly but, slowing down as the hounds closed distance. The leading hound jumped through the air and glided upon the blue creature forcing it to crash into the dusty ground. J’onn would feel a powerful telepathic blast from the blue creature causing the hound to drop onto the ground and go into what appeared to be a seizure. The blast was uncontrolled, if J’onn were not matured in his development, he too surely would’ve been affected by the careless use of telepathic powers. All four hounds stumbled as the blue critter began fumbling on two feet until it collapsed and began crawling.- <c>
-The hounds began making their recovery; from their shoulders they forced large spiky tentacles to appear while closing distance to surround the blue critter. The blue creature weighed approximately 30 lbs, stood about 4 feet off the ground, absolutely no fur on its skin, with large blue eyes upon its small squirrel like head.-
Jonn: Had felt the Telepathic burst and he shook his head. Whatever it was, it was young. Telepathic mind bursts like that did just as much damage to their bodies as it did to those that were hunting it. Grabbing a rebreather, he put the Javelin into a hover mode, before he phased himself and the rebreather through the hull and towards the ground at a critical speed. Just as one of the beings moved, he landed upon it’s back, forcing it into the ground from the strain of his feet hitting it. And then those red eyes narrowed towards the three remaining ones while he stood tall.
The hounds immediately took sight of The Martian Manhunter as he appeared, two of them turned towards him, one leaping to strike J’onn, it’s mouth suddenly widened and allowed its large teeth to bear towards J’onn. If the hound successfully bit J’onn he would feel a massive amount of pressure attempting to rend and tear him apart. The creature had almost meta-human like strength, it could probably tear through the hull of an Earth battleship, or give a Green Lantern a run for their money in damage output, and never the less J’onn would be able to see the immediate threat of the hounds. The hound he stood on suddenly lifted up and attempted to slash J’onn with it’s tentacles rising out of its shoulders. Snarling and grunting came from the beasts, their eyes flashed a crystallized rainbow, but only for a moment.-
Jonn: Hated using the tactic he was about to use, however his options limited and the being infront of him was tired and obviously young. So what did he do? His red eyes glowed again, the tentical waving being wrapping it’s tentical around the legs of one the creatures in question, while the one that charged him was left alone. Why? J’onn caught the being by it’s upper and lower jaws , and though he was surprised by it’s strength, he held his ground firmly, as he used the creature under him as a sort of ground, allowing it to bare the brunt of the force of the attack. What he did then was force those jaws further apart and with luck the top of the beings head would snap, before he threw it towards the remaining and unscathed one.
-The beasts mouth would snap open and with great resistance against J’onn. J’onn’s positioning and using the beast below him as extra torque allowed J’onn to snap it’s mouth, but then something strange happened as the body was thrown, a smaller creature slipped through the mouth of the hound. The creature was invisible, almost. Rainbow like colors within a glass window, the creature’s eyes glowed before vanishing completely; J’onn could read no telepathic connection to the creature either. J’onn had killed one creature and halted anothers assault leaving the two beasts with their tentacles wrapped around The Martian Manhunter, tugging and pulling at him to force him off balance.-
Jonn: eyes widened when he realized the mistake. He had assumed that they were having some sort of mind in control of something. If they did not that meant... That they may have been in relation to the enemy the desecreated mars all those years ago. Those long tenticals that were around him, cutting into his flesh were grabbed and he began to turn around, lifting those beings up with just as much force as he could muster, and threw them towards the sky. Given the low gravity and the force, it was conceiveable that the two would be lost in space.
-The two hounds would widen their eyes as they were lifted and thrust into space with velocity as they drifted they struggled to return to the moons low gravitational pull, but they had no success and quickly flew towards Pluto. The remaining hound pushed aside the hound on top of it nad then leaped into the air and transformed its tentacles into bat like wings to begin flying towards space, fleeing from the Martian Manhunter. The small blue creature rolled onto its back to look at J’onn. Its teeth were exactly like a squirrels, sharp at the front and sticking out, but his right tooth was chipped and colored with purple blood. The creature would sit up, his flipper like tail propped his body upright.- ‘Thank you…’ –a voice spoke into J’onn’s head.-
Jonn: Now that was odd. The last one had fleed using wings generated by it’s own force, and leapt off. The other two could have done a similiar thing, but it seemed like their intelligence was something to be had. Turning his attention to the new comer, he eyed the being, before he nodded his head looking towards the wounds. “You are welcome. I am J’onn Jonzz.” He stated before he offered a hand to the younger creature. “Come, it is best not to dwell here if it can be helped.”
-The creature stood up.- ‘Faz of the Fizzh. Are you from Erph?’ –The blue creature studied J’onn and his tall appearance, towering over the small critter holding his hand. J’onn could see that the critter used telepathy as a primary source of communication.- ‘We need help, J’onn Jonzz. My people are from another sector, we are trying to run from a terrible ruler. He hunts my peepol for our telepathic nature. We are almost barren on all resources and are at a loss of our warriors. The ruler and his army will destroy my species and leave us to be nothing but a fragment of the past. We need a new home, one that we can escape from him!’
Jonn: heard his plight and he then looked towards the earth. “I fear that you would find no help upon earth. They’ve not always taken kind to outsiders upon their planet. Intergalatic refugees would be pushing their almost nonexistant patience...” He pointed out, talking to him, however he nodded his head towards him. ~Use your telepathy, I will understand it just as well... What sort of people are yours? What do they need in order to survive?” He asked as he signalled the javelin while tapping his communicator. “Batman. we may have a situation.”
-Faz only spoke through his telepathy.- ‘We are a species dependant on cold climates…Earth is too warm for us, and while it’s oceans are perfect for my peepol to survive, it’s recent warmth only makes it acceptable in the Northern and southern regions. I fear that in time, it will be too warm for us and we will be unable to escape. That is why I am here on Luna…This environment is perfect for my peepol. Food and other systems are self sustaining. Our evacuation plans are currently underway, but we require a location to settle before Helspont eliminates us.’ –Batman was sitting in the laboratory analyzing the DNA from the Mutated arachnid, when J’onn spoke.- (Conroy) “J’onn…I was beginning to worry.” –Batman’s voice held no empathy or emotion, making his words seem almost humorous for anyone listening to the conversation.- “What is your update? Did you rescue the sender of the distress?”
Helspont: The Dreadnaught Class Behemoth A flag ship for the daemonite empire almost. A Ship so massive it could be seen towering over a planet from the ground, while the ship was in space. It could block out the sun over a reigon of land. "Interesting....Providence...take us to Earth...I think it's time that my investment paid off." A Dark laugh fills the ship, making even the other daemonites on board uncomfortabe almost fearful for their lives.
Jonn: Listened in depth to what Faz was needing and what he was wishing to do, before he regarded the area that they were on. Earth did not have the ability to colonize the world yet. But that did not mean that they would not be able to do so. In which case, to give a way a world so close to their own, it was not something that he was going to make on his own. Thus the reason the had contacted Batman. “In a way. It appears as though he is primarily a first of many. They are wanting to colonize the moon.” He stated, knowing exactly how outlandish it sounded.
Captain Marvel: Walks out of his appartment and turns around putting the key into the lock and turns it then heads outside. He had finished his chores around the house, and his homework and decided to head up to the Watchtower. He glances around and slides his earpiece out of his pocket and puts it into his left ear but leaves it off for the moment. He spreads his hands. "Shazam!" The sky rumbles and the lightening strikes him revealing Marvel. He taps the comm on now, catching the end of the conversation between Jonn and Batman. "Hey, Batman, J'onn everything okay up at the Tower?"
-Batman listened to J’onn’s situation.- “You know we can’t give away that territory…It’s declared United States and U.N territory…We’ll need to hold a hearing and a committee about this…And I don’t think it will work in our friends favor…Captain Marvel, everything is under control…Flash is handling the situation in Central City. Aquaman and Doctor Fate are handling the situation in Africa.” –Faz would then say to J’onn- ‘Does this mean you are unable to help us? I will seek out this U.N and I will talk to him. He may understand me and my situation. He does not know Helspont.’
Jonn: shook his head to his new aquaintance, while peering down towards the white dust and rock upon its surface. “The U.N. Stands for the United Nations of Earth. It is not a person. It is an assembly of representatives. Each having their own agenda, and each wanting something in return for everything that they are required to look up, yet alone do soemthing about. And I feel for you and your peoples situation. Tell me of this Helspont. and I will do what I can.” He stated before he tapped the communication again. “Of course, Batman. We may need to force a compromise. From what he is saying, it appears as though his people are being forced off of their world.”
Captain Marvel: He listens to Batman and nods. "Well I am glad everything seems to be okay there. I am coming up to the WT. Can you open the Hanger Doors J'onn? Thanks." He floats into the air and then shoots off into the sky, not at his fastest speed but enough to gain some momentum. He slows down to respond to Batman and J'onn but thinks better of it and continues up into the sky.
-Faz nodded somewhat understanding what J’onn was saying.- ‘Helspont is a god…I think…but he rules through fear. He only wants my peepol for their telepathic abilities…He may want you too, J’onn Jonzz…He has killed most of my peepol who are warriors. There are primarily intellects of society…I am not an intellect of my peepol, I am a warrior. One of the fewest and youngest. Our method of getting to Luna will not be traced by Helspont. He will not know what happened and we will be save from him.’
Jonn: Nodded his head towards him as he spoke of Hellspont seeking species with a telepathic ability. Now this was troubling. If what the younger one was saying was true, then that meant that what remained of his people on mars may not be safe either. This did not bode well for the immidiate future. “Assumsions can lead to people getting killed, Faz. Assume nothing and prepare for the worst.” He stated as he crossed his arms thinking. “Tell me, how well can your physilogy adapt to the forth planet within the solar system?”
Captain Marvel: Flies into the higher atmosphere and then heads out of it after a pause to take in the beauty. He turns and skyrockets out again and into Space and flies inside the Watch Tower landing on the ramp leading outside. He turns and heads inside and up to the Control Center where Batman was. "Batman can you fill me in on what's going on? Sounds like something serious is going down."
-Faz nodded.- ‘The fourth planet...I don’t know…We have not been there. I am the first of my kind to venture into a new system. I was thrown here through a portal and I’ve been communicating what I know back to my people. I have a small communication pod a few meters back.’ –Batman listened to Captain Marvel and J’onn, before speaking to J’onn.- “If you’re going to recommend Mars, perhaps you should leave out the part regarding massive genocide…” –Batman didn’t know the Martian Manhunter’s history or story…Batman still didn’t understand why The Martian Manhunter was helping humans and Earth, but his dedication was something Batman couldn’t question by evidence of sacrifice and willingness to help. Batman did deduce through telescope picture that the Civilization on Mars did infact destroy itself in a war so catastrophic that there were little to no survivors. Batman also knew of J’onn’s urban legend in Middle town as<C>
“The Martian Manhunter” having a few tourist attractions named after the strange creature who fought off supernatural creatures in defense of humanity.- “Captain, J’onn is on the Moon opening discussion and dialog with an alien race. I don’t know the details, but they appear to be telepaths and J’onn is gathering all of the essential information. Your presence really isn’t necessary. I have Diana and Superman on standby if back-up is needed.”
