Young Justice RP :: semi lit

Batgirl pulled out a cord from her gauntlet and quickly attached it to Singularity's body armor. She pulled up her holographic screen, tapped a few command, converted the encrypted files and transfered them to Singularity's information system. Then unlatched it and replaced it back into her glove, "There, that should let me maintain a temporary link so you can directly stream the blueprints, security system--avoid any distracting encounters, said we run into any more trouble."


The hairs on the back of her neck pricked, her head snapped up and glanced around. Clawed Rose sauntered gracefully in, feline as ever. Rose was possibly the only other person in the world that could sneak up on her like Bruce, and it irritated the hell out of her. But before she could say anything, Wonderboy flew in from the basement's entrance. Her jaw clenched when he spoke her name, however he would be quite unaware if she would have glared at him, so Batgirl sighed and went on. She nodded in acknowlagment saying pointedly, "Wonderboy," She looked between Clawed Rose, "Nice of you to join us, and right in time too. The chaos above is just a ploy, something bigger is going down in the underground. Something important enough that the League of Shadow or the Brotherhood of Evil--whatever affiliation they're going with--to gather most of the world's criminals together." She smacked her fist into her palm for emphasise, "Our mission is to get to the bottom of it and stop it, simple as that. Clear?"
 
"Oh the league again. Ouch. Damn security in maximum security prisons suck," Troy said sarcastically,"Yeah I got it." Troy unhooked his golden lariat from his belt and he knew he'd need it.
 
Batgirl smiled werrily then turned and started to run for the underground. She went down numerous twists and turns until she finally came to a dead end.


"This can't be right." She said, double checking the map once more, "Who puts in an elevator, but no stairs?" This was the only way into the basement.


She pryed off the cover to the elevator buttons and attached the cord from her gauntlet into the control panel. "Doesn't surprise me." she grumbled, as she read the report on the elevator's operation status as offline. She pulled out a Batarang detonator and wedged it in the door. Batgirl stepped aside a the small program blast went off, then she pulled out her collapsable bo-staff and forced the doors open. Replacing her staff, she pulled on the belt buckle of her utility belt, it had a cord attached, and stuck it to the inside wall of elevator shaft and started to repell down.
 
Wonderboy followed Batgirl and used his lasso to repel down after Batgirl. "Hey Batgirl this is just like old times when we trained at the League's Headquarters. Except this time its for real," Wonderboy said tying to get the quiet and serious Batgirl to speak.
 
Batgirl glanced at Wonderboy repelling above her, she couldnt help but laugh, "Wonderboy...you can fly, what are you doing?" she smiled through her mask. She shook her head, "Yeah, I know, right? I trained mostly with Batman, I don't know what you did with Oracle and the Birds' after you left, our training focuses would definately be different. Actually, Kara and I went to see Wonder Woman on Paradise Island once, she trained us for about a month and a half. I learned as much in a month in a half with the Amazons than I did with a year with Batman." Batgirl told him, a bit in awe herself thinking about it in retrospect.
 
"Flying takes more energy. Plus repelling is more fun," Troy said smiling down at Batgirl,"I've never met my mother and I never want to see my father again. Our training is about the same because my 'daddy' trained Oracle the one your named after."
 
"Yeah...I've been thinking about that..." Batgirl mused, "I'm getting closer and closer to retiring...You know, like Robin to Nightwing....The new Batgirl is ready to step up to the plate...I've been thinking about names, what do you think about 'Red Cardinal' or just 'Cardinal'. The whole 'Red' thing seems to be a tradition..."
 
"Why not just change it to Batwoman and if not Cardinal. The Red par reminds me too much of Jason," Wonderboy said.
 
Batgirl nodded her eyes narrowing with the memory of the traitor, "It didn't stop Tim." she said, "Besides, there's already a Batwoman. Like I said, its a tradition, not only 'Red' but birds. I know they arn't birds but 'Bat'--'Robin', 'Black Canary', 'Birds of Prey'.
 
Batgirl nodded. She looked below her, not that far to go, maybe two hundred feet. Checking how much line she had left, she found she only had a few feet. Batgirl stopped and landed on an i-beam, pressing a button on her belt, the buckle unclamped and few towards the ground. She reached out and caught it, then stuck it back to the wall and continued.


"What are they planning..." Batgirl murmured as the sounds of clanging and drilling into solid rock got louder and louder as they descende.


 
Jacob flew into the main hall through the hole in the roof. The signs of battle were clear here, but what really took his attention were some of the henchmen knocked out. Some didn't seem important to him, but a few of them had clown masks. That made one thing clear to Jacob. The Joker is in the building. If not him then Harley Quin. Looking around, he noticed one of the junior heroes. A girl, green costume, and bow. She took a bit of a beating from all the action, and faintly, Jacob heard the sound of chatter in her ear. He took a closer look and saw it was an earpiece with a bat emblem. Dammit! If Jacob spoke through the Batman would have no problem remembering him, but he heard a woman's voice, not a mans. It's a long shot, but he had to find out what's going on. Gently, he took the ear piece and inserted it in his own ear.


"I take it this is Batgirl i 'm talking to? Or is it oracle?" "Who's this?" "For now, an ally. From all the action happening here, looks like you could use a hand. A few of your team is out cold. A girl in green for one." "Artemis is down? Dam...ok, what's your name?" "Fallen." "Fallen? ok, i'll let Batgirl know your on your way. Find your way to...an elevator door in the room to your left. Her team should be there." "On it." "For the record, if you think of-" "I'm not that crazy to stab the Batman in the back."


Besides, he knew Talia wouldn't forgive Jacob easily for that anyway. He spread his wings and ran with leaps of flight to his destination.
 
After recieving the map,Singularity nodded. He connected to Batgirl's communicatior. "They'll hear me coming a mile off. That should give you plenty of cover." Singularity began to pound at the ground. During the moments his hands were in contact with the floor,he attempted to use his power to simply drop that section of the foundation down into the sub-basement,but without success. His powers never went on the blink before,and when he could be using it to it's fullest,like now,but he can't,because his power died,is more than disturbing.


His strikes on the ground quickly dislodged enormous chunks from the ground,which he pulled out of the pit,and hurled into the room above. His HUD read hostiles were moving in from above. Dozens of blips. "When you hear the Hulk smashing at your foundations,don't bother investigating..." He leapt back up,and cleared the hole,which was surrounded by assault weapon-wielding goons,some in clown masks,some not,and there were a few robots,as well. "Gentlemen! Ladies!" He grabbed the lip of the pit,and threw himself onto the floor. He observed the room around him,and smiled. "Thought I'd do some redecorating. Thought a well would be a nice addition." The goons raised their barrels,after they finished picking their jaws up from the floor. He mockingly looked around,and gestured at their unconcious comrades,including Ivy. "They would've gotten in the way,otherwise."


The goons opened fire. "JESUS! Everyone's a critic!" Singularity charged at them,ignoring the bullets;his suit was dense enough to be bulletproof to anything smaller than an armour-piercing rocket. One blow per goon,to the head. In less than a minute,all of the goons lay around him,unconcious,with compression fractures in their skulls. He heard a rattling sound coming from the stairs. Singularity glanced down. He saw,and plucked up,his worthless rifle base,and approached the sound of the clattering. There stood a goon,clutching an M60,shaking in terror. "Hey,do me a favour?" He held out the rifle. "Hold this."


The goon obliged,and was instantly slammed to the floor by the mass of the rifle. Singularity followed up with a punch to the head,knocking him out instantly. As he plucked up his rifle,he nodded,and said, "Much obliged." He slipped the old rifle into his sachel,and continued his work on the tunnel to the sub-basement. It gave little resistance.
 
After a few minutes, Jacob found a boy dressed in red, with a golden rope in his hands. He must be lowering his companions down to the bottom.


"Red and gold, mid-teens, you must be Wonder Boy." Jacob said plainly. "Oracle let you know I'm helping out?"
 
"Reaper, you little bastard. I thought I killed you on that roof. Really your alive? Oh yeah you can fly I forgot," Wonderboy sarcastically said. He undid his lariat from where it was hanging and free fell to the bottom of the elevator shaft.
 
Sarcasm...i need to work on my social skills.


After a minute, Jacob followed suit as he free fell to the bottom and had his wings break his fall. Looking around the tight space at some of the costumed indaviduals, he wanted to try and make a good impression.


"Sorry to drop in unannounced. I saw the chaos happening around here and thought you could use a hand." He faintly heard something in the background. "Is that a drill?"
 
Batgirl dropped to her feet at the bottom of the shaft. She took a moment to obsurily note her surrounding before acknowledging the newcomer.


"Fallen, Oracle told me you were coming. If I may," Batgirl inclined, her eyes narrowed, always suspicious, "Where did you get your comms?"
 
Jacob took the comms out of his ear, and held it out in plain sight for all.


"I borrowed it from one of your fallen members. I believe Oracle called her...Artemis. Last i saw she was knocked out, but safe. I only took it to get in contact with you, nothing more." He gave a quick glance to the other supers eyeing him. "I'll explain my being in the city later, maybe not when an army of super villains and henchmen are raiding a government complex."


 
Clawed Rose stood in the shadows she had followed Batgirl and Wonderboy down the elevator shaft but had kept silent the whole time. She wanted to shift cause a distraction so that the henchmen would momentarily be drawn away from the plans and the others could grab them. She had to fight back this desire knowing Batgirl probably already had a plan and since she was dropping on her mission she should respect it. Rosa liked Batgirl her spunk, her get-to-it attitude.


Rosa's presence was often forgotten when she did not desire attention, however her attention was drawn by the new comer and she walked gracefully across the beam. Singularity was crashing around somewhere and she could the rattle of walls crumbling.


"You are?" she asked the man her head cocked to the side a bemused look on her face.
 
Jacob turned to Rosa. He was almost hesitant to answer back from how pretty she was, but he didnt let it get to him easily. She must have made herself pretty for a dam good reason, he thought to himself, and i'd rather not know.


"For now, a friend. They call me Fallen. Guess it''s because i look like what the name suggests."
 
Batgirl didn't like the idea of leaving Artemis in danger, but Fallen was right, they had their mission. She nodded, then silently began to tap into the UIT's system from the matenaince panel. From the looks of the camera trained on the other side of the door, security was clear. She started to open the elevator doors as before.


There was a creak and a groan from far, far above them. She didn't look up, but started to speed up her work. The small blast went off but the doors didn't budge as they did before, "Dammit," she hissed under her breath, the doors were welded shut. Another groan, louder and longer this time. Her heart rate increased even though she stayed calm and clearminded. "Wonderboy! The door!"she shouted urgently. Her team was trapped in an elevator shaft with nowhere to go. Batgirl's stomach twisted and adrenaline seeped into her veins as she heard the metalic snap, followed by grinding metal.
 
She smiled leaning against one of the support columns, "Fallen, I like that it kind of rolls of the tongue slicing every shred of fight and turning it into interest followed by fear. I'm Clawed Rose, I guess it signifies my need fight and will to preserve nature even if it means getting a little," at this moment she raised her hand inspecting the short but sharp claws that extended from her fingers before continuing, "Oh-how-do I put it... Sharp," her eyes flashed as she extended her claws then retracting them in a flashy movement.


At that moment Rosa sensed the danger and leaped to Batgirl's side, "What do you need from me because I am sure as hell not dying in an elevator protecting money," she hissed. She pulled a small tube of what looked like lipstick from her belt but in reality it was acidic liquid that could burn through almost anything.
 
Singularity was just above the room,filled with hostiles. It lied between the rest of the team,and the objective. He noted two new pings,both flagged as friendlies,and they joined with Batgirl and The Rose. He gave one squak over the radio to Batgirl. "Commencing distraction. Just follow the Hellish racket. And be wary of flying concrete." Singularity stood up,for he was sitting,and leaning against thewall of his pit for about a minute. He broke into a fit of devilish laughter. "I'm gonna enjoy this." Singularity leapt up,as high as he could,and then let gravity bring him back down.


"KINETIC FORCE EQUALS MASS MULTIPLIED BY ACCELERATION!" He stomped on the bottom of his pit,and went straight through. On his externals,he started blaring the roars of the Tank Infected from Left 4 Dead,on top of acting the part. In the cloud of dust that he created on impact,Singularity charged out,slamming the nearest thug,sending him flying into a wall. He slammed the floor,and hauled up a slab of concrete,and hurled it behind him,scattering a group of goons,and crushing a robot. The thugs were in a state of utter panic. Singularity's arrival was,although well telegraphed and heralded,they simply didn't expect anyone to come crashing in from above. His primary goal wasn't to inflict damage;that was secondary. His primary goal was to raise as much Hell as possible,in order to give the other team enough of a window to slip in and do what they need to do.
 

Batgirl abandoned the door, instead she pulled out what looked like super condensed pale gray gel packed into a canister shape with a pin mechanisim at the top similar to that of a grenade. The sound of the elevator grew as it descended for them, traveling faster and faster towards them. Batgirl pulled the pin as she spoke quickly to Clawed Rose after just barely glimpsing the familiar shape of the tube in her hand, "Acid paste. Door. Now." She threw it as hard as she could straight up in the air. The timer in the pin went off about seventy five feet above their heads, a plasma net of the thick gray goo erupted from a detonation charge inside the condensed gel itself, and webbed across the shaft. Batgirl knew it wouldn't be a permanent fix, under that emmense pressure, it would only buy them enough time to find an escape.


She wipped out a minature Acetylene torch and began working on door herself, weakening points of the door so it would collapse when the others forced their way through. Batgirl flinched as the elevator collided with the plasma net. The bonds groaned as they threatened to snap. The elevator was heavy enough and far enough up that it would still kill them if it came crashing down. Even if members of the team could take the weight, it still posed a difficult situation to get out of--the bottom of the elevator shaft was about two feet below that of the floor the elevator door was on, with enough of a ledge in front of the door they could all stand on but the elevator would crush them if it came down.
 

Jacob felt the shaking of the elevator. That groaning from the joints is always a bad sound to him. Though he couldnt help but be impressed of how fast Batgirl got things done. Shouldnt expect any less of student of the dark knight.


He looked up, noticing the cable giving way from the plasma. "I'll try and buy you some time!" he quickly said.


He climbed out of the elevator, flew half-way between the plasma and the elevator, and settled himself on one of the sides. Taking a few deep breathes, he grabbed the cable, and began to pull the elevator up, just enough to meet the nearest floor doors.


Jacob gritted his teeth from the strain. He knew he was stronger than ever, but lifting a couple of tonnes worth of steel with extra weight took some effort.


"No rush here guys!" He groaned from the strain of holding the cable.
