Metropolis

As he stood in front of Scarlett, he leaned to his left and looked upon superman. Speaking up so the newly joined girl could hear him.


"He can hear everything we say right now." Alex said as he glanced from Talon back to Superman.


Alex's eyes widened as he seen superman crouch down one more time.


"Ladies, hold your breath!" Alex quickly shouted as he stomped his right foot into the ground.


"This is going to be rough! Just stay calm an..." Alex was cut off by Superman's movement.


Appearing in front of Talon, Superman used his strength to push up onto the group of people. Alex reached his arms around Scarlett and Talon and tried to stop Superman's movements. As his hands reached superman's, they were in a dead lock and neither were moving. With the girls in between them, Alex tried to keep Superman from harming either of these two ladies.


"Now what are you going to do? Now that we are in a dead lock and there are some civilians involved. What is your next move?" Superman replied as he started to bear down upon Alex's hands.


Cringing from the pain, Alex tried to think of what he should do.


"Get out of here! You two, get out from between us! NOW!" Alex roared at the girls.
 
Talon had joined their little gathering, even shouted at Superman. They hadn't known each other very long, but it was nice to know that Talon was willing to stand by her in a situation like this and she nodded in response to what she had said. Hopefully they would be able to spend more time together in the future. But right now Scarlett was trying to focus on what was happening right now.


When Superboy looked past her, to Superman, she turned to look as well and saw him staring his target down. He obviously wasn't finished with him. It didn't even seem like he'd heard Talon's outburst, but as Superboy had reminded them, Superman had super hearing. She was sure he would even be able to hear them if they were whispering.


Her eyes were still on Superman when he crouched down, and Superboy seemed to know what was coming next. When she was told to stay calm was actually when she started to panic a little and turned in to Superboy's chest, seeking his protection on a more subconscious level. And in an instant, her and Talon were sandwiched between the two. Talon was closest to Superman, and Scarlett was chest to chest with Superboy.


It seemed as though the entire room had gone quiet, watching with anticipation as to how the fates of the three fresh supers at Superman's mercy were going to play out. Her eyes met with Superboy's for a moment, her breathing a little heavy as her heart raced with a spike of adrenaline. She could feel his breath on her skin and his body trembling from the strain of keeping Superman from crushing both her and Talon.


Slightly in shock, Scarlett snapped out of it when she was yelled at to move out of the way and glanced over her shoulder at Talon, who was pressed up against her small, slightly sore wings. It was definitely important that they get out from between the two as soon as they could. Superboy would only be able to hold Superman off for so long. "Thanks, Superboy," she managed to breathe as she started to move, accidentally calling him by the nickname she had come up with in her head (since she hadn't known his real name). "Be careful."


She ducked under his arm to get out from between the two supers, grabbing hold of Talon's arm on her way under and tugging on it just enough to lead the way, but not enough to actually move her "Come on, Talon!" she spoke urgently, as if Talon might want to stay behind and get crushed.
 
The comment of super hearing had reached Talon’s ears, but it didn’t seem to click into her brain fully as she was pre occupied. Superman crouched and she drew in her breath, subconsciously doing as she was told, as to not get harmed. It was a lucky thing too, as in the next moment she was in a tight sandwich with Scarlett and the breath was forced out. Superman was crammed up against her and she, in turn, was pushing against her friend’s back.


Talon hoped she wasn’t hurting Scarlett, from her experience in the waiting room she knew that her wings were in pain. Her mind seemed to be drifting on these useless thoughts, including how she managed to stay on her feet despite superman’s force.


"Get out of here! You two, get out from between us! NOW!"


Wonder-boy yelling at them was the thing that snapped her back to reality and she clicked into Scarlett talking. It seemed she also wanted to get out of there quickly as she grabbed Talon’s arm after thanking the newly dubbed ‘Superboy’. She knew what was good for her and quickly ducked under their arms’ as well, rushing behind Scarlett. Her panic seemed to flow out all at once,


“Scarlett” she noted, trying to get her thoughts in order;


It didn’t come, it seemed a mental block was in her way and all she could do was look at her friend. Hopefully she would get the message across through facial expression, as words seemed to fail her after she had been nearly crushed.
 
Looking at Artemis, still holding the phone to his head, then looked over at Butler.


"His name is something that you will have to get from him. When he gets here. I will not tell you anything more then i already have." The scientist replied to Artemis.


Hanging up the phone, he spun around in his chair to face Artemis and his butler. Placing the clipboard on his lap, there was a whistle that could be heard even over the super fight that was going on. IT was getting increasingly louder. Soon, it stopped.


"Heh, he is here." The scientist replied as he removed the clipboard and placed it upon his desk.


As soon as the clipboard hit the desk, there was a poof of black smoke next to the scientist. As the smoke cleared, there stood a younger man. http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss285/lovelylin_2009/X-Men/1215733561870.png
 
Artemis,who was nearest to the desk,jumped slightly at the sudden appearance of the young man,and Butler drew the Neutrino blaster and pointed it at the man. Artemis waved for Butler to holster the weapon,and said, "Kurt Wagner,I presume? I'm Artemis Fowl II. A pleasure to meet you." He spoke the name with a flawless accent. Artemis offered his hand for a shake,and smirked. "So,pyrotechnics and mirrors,or was it genuine?"
 
After a few minutes, a few more attempted homocides, the two where right back on track, walking down the hallway, perfectly fine with one another, and chatting like old friends. "Now, you have one more test, is that right?" The joker said, thinking, "Something to do with your body movements." His scarred grin went into a real one.


"Or so they say..." Gear said, shooting a glance back at the guards who now had them pegged and targeted, series of red dots decorating the two clowns backs.
 
There was an opening, cringing or not, she moved over and nearly removed the jewels that made that scientist a man. With that she took the tazer in hand and teleported. She saw the man who let them die. The man who failed to do his job, the man who resulted in her being the way she was and where she was now. Her plan was coming into effect. She was not brought here. She came here. The young girl had knowledge that the man responsible would be here. Now was her chance.


In an instant she teleported and her small arms wrapped around the neck of Superman. Tears formed in her eyes.


"IT'S YOUR FAULT. I'LL KILL YOU!!!"


The tazer came down into supermans eye and activated. The electricity jumped into his body yet like most would not, though she did not care, it had no effect, she simply tried to plunge it into his skull, and the volts screamed uselessly into that villains body. He would die by her hands.
 
"Artemis, its good to meet you. Ha, you caught me. It was just smoke and mirrors. But what you say about starting your mission?" Kurt asked as he looked at Artemis.
 
Artemis smirked at Kurt's joke. Then it vanished,and Artemis was all buisness. "Training,I assume? Very well,then. What shall we focus on first,Mister Wagner;Technomancy,Technokinisis,or figure out if I can teleport?"


Kurt smirked,and tutted. "First,Master Fowl,we need to get you somewhere a little better equipped. I think the Proffessor won't mind you using the Danger Room for your exercises." "Danger Room?" "Yes! Don't worry,you won't get hurt,not unless you get careless. Come on." Kurt grabbed Artemis by the arm,and Butler immediately dove to grab Artemis. When Butler connected,they were all teleported,in a puff of smoke,beside a jet in the base's airstrip. "Hop on."
 
At the furthest end of the hall, the lights started to go out one by one. Each one making a 'clicking' sound as it shut off. As they stood there and watched, the entire hallway covered Gear and Joker in darkness. After a few seconds, only the two lights that covered them in light turned back on. Revealed in the light, rolled 3 baseball sized balls. One hitting the jokers foot, one hitting Gear's foot, and one that stopped a foot in front of both of them. Each of the balls had a top open on it and smoke pour from them. As the guards looked from behind them with shock and terror.


"What the hell is going on in there?" one of the guards said aloud.


Soon, Gear and Joker could hear a fine whistling sound coming at them. It started to get louder and louder. Under the whistling sound, if anyone could make it out, were the sounds of quick foot steps.
 
Looking at the ball, Gear raised an eyebrow before smoke came from it. Eyes widening, she looked up at the joker who was grinning. As the whistling came to ear, she pressed a hand over her head, it made her think of the tazers the cops used. That little buzzing noise they made before pain shot through you. It was that notion that made her grab a hold of the joker's sleeve and push him to the far wall.
 
As the whistling got louder, it soon pierced the cloud of smoke and roared past Gear's head. Jumping in the smoke cloud, a man grabbed out some wire and threw it at Gear's legs.


"What is going on! Should we go in after them!" one of the guards yelled out as he loaded his gun and held it towards the smoke cloud.
 
As it went past her head, she turned, trying to see what it was before the wire hit her legs making her fall, along with a sting of slight pain. "The ****!" Gear said, while the Joker hissed in unhappiness.
 
As the girl appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the tazer stabbed down upon superman’s face, it sent an electrical shock throughout his body that barely made him flinch. But for Alex on the other hand, he felt every volt coarse through his body, maybe even ten fold. Dropping down to his knees, and tried to hold in his anger. Just as the volts seemed to stop, was the time that Alex could hear screaming.


“AHHHHHH!!!!” Roared out of Alex’s mouth.


As the shout exited his mouth, he rotated his body and threw superman over his shoulder and towards the ground. Quickly releasing his hand, he clinched it into a fist and punched superman into the ground. Colliding with the ground sent a large shock wave out towards the other supers. Looking around the room, Alex took a few deep breaths as his eyes were more of a soulless look. It would seem as though Alex was un-conscience, but his body was moving. Could it be that his sub-conscience be tired of being tested by the man of steel or something else?


Shifting his feet upon the ground, Alex hunched over and took in a deep breath. Moving his feet quickly, Alex was out of that room in a flash and a whole exploded out of the wall behind Scarlett. As he ran, he neared the end of the military base. Slowing down, Alex looked around, before coming to a complete halt. Standing at the edge of the base, sat a black limousine. Walking over to the large car, Alex stopped mere inches from the back passenger door and waited. The door opened slowly and a man exited the car. The man was a huge creature, standing about 8 or 9 feet tall. Staring down at Alex, he looked him over, as if looking for something in particular. Looking back at the car, he soon nodded. Stepping out of the car, was none other then, Lex Luthor. Wearing a nice formal, black suit, he stood in front of Alex.


“This is going to be great. Lets get him back before they find out we have him.” Lex replied as he looked towards the base that lay off in the distance.


~~~~~


Just as the dark figure was about to land a kick upon Gear, a large green shield appeared and covered Gear. As the kick landed, it rattled and sent a large crack across the shield.


“What the hell!” The man said as the smoke cloud dissipated.


Standing there in the open, was a dark figure clad in all black except his logo. That was a bright red and in the shape of a bat. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs26/i/2008/074/f/e/Batman_Beyond_by_kanefinger1939.jpg


Appearing behind Gear, was a man clad in green and black. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/260/a/8/green_lantern_by_chou_roninx-d2yxlxh.jpg


”What do you think that you are doing? We are supposed to be helping the next generation?” Hal Jordan asked the man.


“Im going to destroy the side of evil, before it has a chance to eradicate the heroes.” It replied in a more robotic tone.
 
Gear blinked a few times, not moving an inch. Even her breathing stopped, and possibly her heart for a beat as well. Her eyes twitched as she was called evil, and prematurely accused of eradicating heroes. The only man she had ever killed certainly wasn't a hero, and the other one she would want, probably wouldn't have been missed. With a laughter filling her ear to the right, The Joker grinned, "Do It." He called out, almost mockingly.


A moment later, fire had spread up Gear's arms, contained, but flickering from time to time, becoming weaker here, or bursting out there, as she stood, glaring at the man who could have been none other than Batman. The joker let out his command once more, and she held up a hand, almost like she wanted to fire fire at him, but couldn't. Drawing it back towards herself, she took a step back.
 
Looking past the Green lantern, Batman looked at Gear in the shield. Exhaling deeply at the sight, Batman clinched his fist.


“Look at her Hal. If she was supposed to be saved, she would not retaliate.” He replied towards Hal.


Peeking over his shoulder, he shook his head.


“Stand down Gear. I know all about you and your abilities. It might come as a shock to you but i have a lot to discuss with you.” Hal Jordan said to Gear as he glanced over at the Joker.


“And for you, praying on the young and innocent. I should have seen that coming from you.” Hal continued as he turned and walked towards gear as his shield started to dissolve from around her.
 
At Hal's words, the fire flickered out, and the joker let out a large outcry of anger. Standing up straight, locking eyes with him she flipped him off before looking back at Hal. "I'm not sure I could be shocked anymore." Gear muttered, just watching him come closer to her.
 
"I need to discuss things about your abilities. But right now is a heated place. How about you go with the joker and i will come and find you when it cools down around here." Hal said to gear.


"Green lantern! let me deal with this!" Batman yelled at Hal.


Bringing his wrist up to his mouth, he spoke with a angered tone.


"Bruce! Call off your machine!" Hal screamed at bruce.


"Just calm down. I was testing his ai in a field test. I have a couple tweaks left, but it will be fine." Bruce said over the com.


 
Gear blinked a few times, before shrugging, looking at the Joker and nodding. Looking at the apparent Batman machine, she shuddered before the Joker pulled out a card and threw it at the floor, smoke filling the whole scene and when it cleared, the two where gone. Down back to the large waiting room everyone was in originally. The Joker sitting on a table top, thinking while licking his lips from time to time, Gear walking back and forth, shivering from time to time.
 
Meanwhile, across the city, some more lovely chaos was shaking the streets. A villain was running like the devil himself was at his heels. He wasn't robbing a bank or snatching a purse. Instead, he was trying to get away from a foiled museum robbery. His partner had already been caught, and he knew that he was next. About a block back, the roar of a superbike engine tore through the night.


The machine turned the corner and quickly caught up with the man. A flash of light struck him in the back, knocking him down. The effect was like a taser. It made him go limp like a rag doll, his nerves unresponsive. By the time he was able to pick himself up, a boot landed on his back.


"I can't believe you guys only have one car," Came a voice, female and surprisingly young. "That's so...newbie." The strange girl grinned and bent over to grab the man's wrists. She quickly bound them with a ziptie and pulled him up. "I'm sure the guys at the station would love to hear your side of story."


The man tried to pull away, but his actions were met with another zap. "You could keep struggling while I shock you, OR, you could be a good criminal and just do it the easy way." She laughed. Police sirens began to approach, probably chasing her from the Museum crime scene. After all these years, Alice had yet to get on their good side.


"I gotta go," She said, pulling out another ziptie and securing the man to a speed limit sign. "You stay here, k?" She gave a cheeky wave and climbed back on the bike. The engine growled to life, and the bike and rider sped off down the street.
 
neroh walked into the middle of the cross walk,he was flipping a quarter in his hand listening to the rawr of a powerful bike coming his way. he flipped the quarter one last time catching it then with the quarter resting on his finger he held his arm out straight,flipping the coin into the air. he aimed with his thumb and as the quarted fell back down a bolt of electricity went threw his arm launching the quarter right when it cam infront of his fist. it glowwed red hot as it flew threw the air ripping up the street and breaking all the windows on the buildings. striking the ground right infront of livewire.


"railgun"neroh said with s smile
 
The bike screeched to a haul, leaving a nice tiremark on the street. Livewire looked towards the man, a follow electro. She grinned playfully and revved her engine at him. Hero or villain, Livewire couldn't just pass up a challenge. She took her foot off the ground and drove at him, holding up her right arm as her electric canon assembled itself. It whirred as it gained power, then shot a bolt at the challenger.
 
the building around neroh started to screech and crack as the steel reinforcing rebar ripped out of the surrounding building creating a lage steel wall blocking livewires attack from hitting him. pulling another quarter out of his pocket he flipped it up in the air making a geuss shot where she might be, a few seconds later the quarter shoots threw the steel wall and heads straight for livewires head but missing flying into a row of car destroying them.


"hmm my aim was alittle off there" neroh said as his reached for another quarter
 
Alice turned her bike off and left it to climb over the rumble. She began charging her canon again. The whirring gave it away as she hid. Alice then popped up, aiming her canon and letting blow another blast at the man, this time with more charge.
 
neroh jumps back as he raises the steel water main out of the ground blocking the blast but is shot back onto the ground by the explotion. quickly picking himself up neroh shoots a bolt of lightning at livewire
