Metropolis

Jacob kept a straight face as Superman noted about the sky. He didnt want to give away his greatest weapon. "Do i look like a maker of storms? That's Thor's department."


He then took a step onto the ledge. "A while ago i would have agreed with you. But the fact is we're both needed. You and the league are the example to follow, I'm the necessary evil that people can chose whether or not to agree on. Yet that's what boils down to the point. Choice."


He flexed his wings. "Anyway, I didnt come to this city for a pep talk. The Joker is here, and i wont leave until i find him, or i find he's left town. Either way, I'll keep out of your way, as long as you keep out of mine. No innocent has anything to fear from me. On that, you have my word."


With that, he dived down and soared through the air, taking in the sights as he flew close to the docks.
 
Super Man leaped off the rooftop and followed next to Jacob.


"And may i ask why you are looking for the joker?" Super Man asked as he flew beside Jacob.

"It's not what i need help with. I just want to make sure that you are able to arrive at the same time as me, and not get lost in the time stream." Angel said as he pushed a button upon the door.


As he pushed the button, the large doors lit up and the lights began to swirl. Angel looked upon Peyton as he stepped into the light tunnel. Arriving on the other side of the tunnel, Angel stood in a dark alleyway. It was slightly raining, so Angel covered his head with a hoodie so he would not get wet while waiting on Peyton to arrive.
 
"Time stream? Right..." Peyton resisted the urge to let loose a more snarky comment before watching him disappear into the tunnel of light. Closing her eyes for a moment and pinching the bridge of her nose, she mumbled to herself, "Of course...I get kidnapped after almost dying and the people who want me to be their heir are a bunch of crazy light show freaks."


Pulling her arms over her chest as if cold, she walked through into the tunnel. As she appeared next to angel, in a different place with different weather at what looked like a completely different time of day, she wondered if they had the same technology the scientists had with their testing for powers, and that this was all a hologram. Rain hitting her face told her it was not and the annoyance and anger that filled her eyes started to show itself in her body language.
 
As Peyton arrived on the other side of the time stream, he looked at her as the gate closed behind her.


"Welcome to the year, 2099.Just to let you know, you might want to keep your powers off for right now. There are a lot of robotic guards patrolling this area. They frown upon supers in this time." Angel said as he turned away from her and headed down the alleyway.


Arriving at the street, hover cars sped down the street. Looking down both sides of the sidewalk, he turned to the left and started to walk.
 
Listening to his words, she snorted in mock humour. "In case you haven't noticed the brown hair or the normal peachy skin, my powers aren't exactly in commission right now. And they frowned on them now...." She trailed off as she followed him, eyes locking onto the cars as she blinked. He wasn't kidding about the year, this was real. This was a bigger shock than when she first lit her sink on fire...bigger than when she'd actually pulled a trigger on a man's heart. "Dear God please help me..."
 
Jacob knew Superman wouldnt let up. He had to lose him, but he couldnt out-run him, nor would he dare go back on his word. The dark clouds were still gathering over them. Jacob had to get creative. Looking forwards, trying not to give himself away to Superman, he saw the Daily Planet building with statue on top. Most of it looked like there was copper metal.


"My reasons are my own." Jacob said strongly. He picked up speed and flew behind the statue. Keeping himself levelled, he had his back to the statue, and closed his eyes.


I am the living conduit. The tip of the mountain. My feelings are the wind.


The clouds began to rumble, and slowly the wind began to grow stronger.


​Please God, dont have him make me do this...
 
Superman just shook his head as he heard the clouds rumble above his head.


“I know that you are the one to control these clouds. If you really want to find the joker, then stop these clouds, and follow me.” Superman roared out towards Jacob.

Angel put his hand up to stop Peyton from moving any further. Pointing upwards, he showed that there were 5 robots flying towards them.


“We need to not act like normal people. No resisting.” Angel said as the robots landed in front of them.


”Halt humans. You are past curfew. Return to your homes.” The leader of the robots said.


~~~~


As the gunfire hit Alex, he collapsed to the ground and covered himself. Stopping the gunfire to look upon the man, War machine walked over to see the results of his gun fire. Alex forced himself to his knees, War Machine clinched his fists.


“Why did you come here!?” War Machine yelled out in question.


Alex grunted a little and forced himself to his feet and looked at War machine. Stumbling on his feet, Alex took a few shallow breaths and went to speak. Just as Alex went to speak, Iron man landed next to War Machine.


“I needed your help. But all that you have shown me was hostility. I came to find....” Alex started to say but before he finished, he passed out.
 
"Because that's always my first thought." Peyton whispered harshly back, before the robots came in front of them. As it spoke, she gently gripped Angel's arm, before a soft smile crossed her lips, apologetic through and through. "We are terribly sorry for breaking curfew, and we are headed that way right now. Thank you kindly." Looking up at Angel, she tilted her head innocently, "Right, Darling?"
 
Jacob guessed the kryptonian wasn't as hard headed as the rumours said, but as soon as the Joker was mentioned, the rumblings in the clouds lessened. Jacob turned with a look of suspicion.


"You offer to help me? After I made my intentions clear? Why?"
 
"we apologize. We were on our way home and just lost track of time." Angel replied to the robot guards.


"were are your identification tags?" the lead guard spoke up as he towered above angel and peyton.


~~~~~~~~~


"I will choose to help you on one condition." Superman said as he lowered himself to the ground.
 
Looking at Angel as the robot questions for a tag, her grip on his arm tightened nervously. Glancing back at the robots, she bit her lip, "Oh, Darling, please tell me you have them..." If Angel knew what to do and how to act, surely he wasn't daft enough to not carry fake ones at least, even if she didn't know what it was. It dawned on her suddenly how much trust she would have to put into this man that basically kidnapped her, good intentions or not.
 
As the robots began to approach the two newcombers, Angel took a deep breath and looked down at Peyton.


"Are your abilities ready?" Angel asked her in a whisper.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"If i give you what you want, will you leave and never show yourself in or around my town again?" Superman asked as he stood upon the ground, awaiting Jacobs presence.
 
"I don't think so, I'd be stark white and flaming if they were." She whispered back, highly doubting that she could turn the powers on and off if she even wanted to, "I can try all the same." Glancing at the robots, one of the arms that had been wrapped around Angel's slid behind them, and all her focus went to making it burn.
 
As Jacob, lowered down, he listens to Supermans terms, and dint like them, but he couldnt be picky if he meant what he said.


"I cant promise I wont return to the city, but I can promise that if I do, I promise you that if i come back, I wont do a thing or talk to anyone, until I've made my presence known to you first along with my reason for returning. Is that acceptable?"
 
"No. I can not have any super entering this city. The U.L.H are purifying this city of any supers. They are not acceting any super to enter this town. This is one of many that is getting the wake up call that they are needing." Superman said as dropped his arms to his sides and looked out over the city.

Angel looked at her and with a friendly smile, he took a quick breath. As he exhaled, he threw off his overcoat and expanded his wings out wide. With a single flap of his giant wings, him and Peyton were sent high into the sky.


"We are going to need to get to cover. We have to try and outrun them and get to safety. Their protocols are different since the last time i came here." He said as he carried her through the air.
 
"Then I guess I'm in for a very long day." Jacob said grudgingly, turning around as he flexed his wings for flight. "Food for thought though, if every super is banned from the city, what will everyone think about you staying?"


With a flap of his wings, he shot off the ground. He was rather angry at himself for turning down Superman's help, but he couldnt risk making a promise he couldnt keep with the man of steel. Still, Joker wasn't the kind to stay quiet for long. If he or his goons make a noise, hopefully Fallen will be there when it happens.
 
The sudden height and speed was startling, but the surprise that flickered over her face died away within seconds. Instinctively she gripped tighter to his arm, but as she watched the ground, the robots following, she noticed that the shoe on her foot was loose. Perfect. Not like she had the other one on anyway. Hooking her foot on the back of it, she pushed it to dangling, before snapping her foot back and launching it at them on the ground.
 
((that would be great. I would appreciate the help. Who did you have in mind to kick off the civil war? what is your plan that you are thinking of?))
 
((If i kill the joker (with permission of course), a few dc villains and heros begin to respect me, then once the JL try a crack down on me, some of the villains like Clayface and Senestro help me fend them off, and eventually a few heros like The Question and Red Arrow come to my side, and we form a new group. still sketchy on the name though. then the idea of killing a few other villains spreads out, and a debate grows in the UN with Superman being there to be against it, and someone fore the killing. the war could break out when either side accidentally kills a civilian or something. I dont know, any ideas on your end?))
 
It sounds good. im not too sure on killing joker, you can severly wound him, just lets keep him alive for down the line. its fine to split the universes. just remember that this is not just one universe. its EVERY super hero known to date. there are marvel, dc and the whole lot. so we could allign against your 'merc' team, The elites. They pride thwmselves upon being the hero the world needs, not what they want. they are willing to kill if it is not what they see is correct, aka your team.


The side of superman would indeed be the whole justice league, but we could make it kind of split down the middle, dc v s marvel. One side willing to kill a threat, one side willing to stop the threat without death.
 
((Ok perfect, and i know just the characters to start off the team, The Arbiters. They're more of people out to redeem themselves or stop injustice, but on they're own terms and rules. Guys such as Deadpool, the Punisher, maybe even Wolverine, but ill get to them later. Anyways, i'm cool with the marvel vs DC thing, but we can still mix and match right? Throw a few people either side to make things interesting? Let me know when you want to start things off))
