The building's skylight broken and shattered from the Squad dropping through it and landing inside. Harley, Digger, Floyd, Shark and Robert simultaneously pointed their guns up at the sky above them but only momentarily and out of reflex.
"Guys? Guys? Seriously? We need to go. We need to go!" Cleo insisted. Her voice was trembling now. Even with her rats still on top of her and comforting her she was borderline panicking. That woman, no, that thing had already decimated the entire squad. Out of the entire lineup they'd brought with them on this assignment they were the only ones left. Everyone else had been slaughtered and they were currently running for their lives. They had no idea who, or what, that thing was but she moved like a Kryptonian on full psycho mode! The only thing she was missing, so far, was heat vision. Not that she needed with the way she'd been tearing through everybody. "Guys. Guys please. Please. We need to go."
"Y-yeah...yeah...we...we need to run. Run. Run. Come on. We have to go." Harley stammered out in a rare moment of clear terror. It was clear from her expression and the tone of voice that she'd never been this terrified. Not even The Clown or The Bat had horrified Harley like this in the past!
"Yeah, yeah, fuck this. Fuck this we're running for it." Digger agreed. He kept his boomerangs at the ready and turned around and booked it with the others joining with him.
"Dammit all. You know this is your fault right, Harle?" Floyd snarled at her. "We could've just kept going on with the mission but you just had to go and shoot the flying psycho bitch with a bazooka! She wasn't even doing anything! We could've just ignored her!"
"I thought she was a Superhero or something! I was launching a surprise attack to stop her from interfering! How was I supposed to know she was a monster?"
"It's called picking your damn battles, Clown!" Digger shot back.
"Uh, guys? Shouldn't we focus on running and not fighting each other?" Shark asked the crew. "We don't know if she has super hearing."
"FUCK!" The rest of the team swore. But still they silently admitted that King Shark had a point for once. They needed to run like hell right now and find somewhere to hunker down and wait for extraction. Because fighting that Super Psycho was not in the cards at all. They ran out the door, raced out into the hallway and began hauling ass down the stairs.
"So who the hell was that anyway?" Ratcatcher asked Bloodsport. "I've never seen her before and she sure as fuck didn't fight like a Superhero..."
"We'll figure that out later after we get to safety. Just stay quiet for now and focus on getting out of here."
"Okay, okay, listen...when we get down to the first floor I'll send my babies out to scout for her. Hopefully she won't think to notice them."
"Good idea. Just stay inside until they give us the all clear sign."
"Oh don't worry about that. I know how to sur-" she was cut off by a loud booming sound as a human sized missile broke through the walls and splattered Cleo on impact and kept right on going through the rest of the building without even slowing down. The Squad screamed in horror as The Ratchater's blood splattered all over them.
"CLLLEEEEEOOOOOOOOO!" Bloodsport screamed in rage as he turned and fired in the direction of the blur that just rocketed through their comrade.
"Screw this! I'm outta here!" Harley cried out as she jumped past him and quickly made her way to the first floor with Deadshot and Boomerang following after her! King Shark didn't have a chance to join them however because the Super Nightmare suddenly broke through the wall behind him and struck him so hard he was sent flying out of the building! The team wasn't even to the door yet before she blitzed over to Bloodsport, yanked the gun away from him and thrust her hand through his chest. She tore right through him, body armor and all, like he was made of paper mache, spilling blood everywhere. Then she splattered his head off with his own gun before dismissing him and flying back through the wall and standing outside to wait for Harley, Captain Boomerang and Deadshot to leave. They stopped cold as they saw her there, smiling and covered in the blood of their comrades.
"Considering you had the courage to attack me in the first place? I was expecting more of a fight, even if it was from Earthlings, what a disappointing hunt."
Harley raised her gun and swallowed her fear. "Who...are....you? Who are you? Seriously! Are a Superhero? Because they...they don't....they don't do THIS!"
"A Superhero?" The woman laughed. "I am nothing of the sort you babbling child. I am Anissa Of Viltrum! One of the greatest warriors of my people and even among the greatest combatants in the Universe."

Meanwhile....viewing the encounter from a safe distance
"So are you sure I shouldn't step in" Mark asked Cecil while viewing the whole encounter on top of Mt.Everest. He still has so much to learn about Viltrumite's genealogy and yet he's amazed he could see the whole encounter so clearly, despite how far away he is from the fight.
"Nah let the newcomer have her exercise. Against these jabronis I don't see them lasting a minute. Then talk to her about joining the Guardians."
Invincible raised an eyebrow. "Come again"
"Based on what you've told me we need as many allies as we can. Especially to prepare for what's coming"
"So recruiting the same woman who almost killed me sounds beneficial to us? I know next to nothing about this lady" Invincible argued
"Yet you somehow managed to impress her enough to spare your life. The way I see it best to have her work with us than fighting her and God knows how many others like her."
Invincible sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Fine. But if I pull this off you are going to have to explain her recruitment to the rest of The Guardians"

But if I pull this off you are going to have to explain her recruitment to the rest of The Guardians" Yeah, honestly, Cecil's just being pragmatic here. The Squad are dead meat anyway so he might as well focus on trying to recruit an actual powerhouse that Mark might be able to convince to help them in order to advance their larger goal of preparing for the real major threat and Anissa might be easier to talk to after she's finished with the Squad. Besides, Harley brought this on herself/The Squad anyway. Guess someone forgot to tell her that her plot armor was offline.  |

Mark watches Anissa corner Harley. He has his orders, let the whole thing play itself out. But there's that nagging part of him that tells him to don't let whatever Anissa is going to do to Harley happen. So he is faced with one important question, is he his father? He knows his dad would've not only let Harley get slaughtered but Nolan would've personally slaughtered them.
Invincible silently curses himself. Every fiber in him tells him she deserves whatever she gets but if he's going to show that he's a better hero then Harley must pay for what she did, the proper way. He has his orders but...since when has he ever listened to Cecil?
*WHOOSH*
"PLEASE, NO! I'M SORRY! DON'T DO TH-" Harley's pleas were cut off by the sudden appearance of Invincible.
"Wha-"
(Don't make me regret this) Invincible spun around and...poke Harley across the face. Even something as simple as a poke caused her to drift into unconsciousness. Invincible caught her as she slumped in his arms. "Holy fuck..That actually works!!"
"What was the meaning of this? I had her!"
(Goddamnit Cecil) Invincible took a deep breath and glanced at Anissa. "Yeah but why show off? Besides. Killing her would be too easy of a punishment"
Anissa tilts her head, "What are you getting at?"\
"Think about it. She will be spending the rest of her life looking over her shoulder. Living in constant fear knowing that you will be there. Watching. Begging her to screw up. Knowing that when she does, I won't be there to bail her out. She will be in her own personal hell"
Anissa processed these words that Invincible has said then smiled, "How insightful, spoken like a true Viltrumite"
"Yeah sure. Listen if you aren't busy, I have a proposition I'd like to discuss with you"

Listen if you aren't busy, I have a proposition I'd like to discuss with you" Anissa crossed her bloodstained arms and observed the doorway. Deadshot and Boomerang were dead like the others and now Harley was out of commission. All in all an effective counterattack. That only left the shark really. Mark didn't say about sparing him. Besides, she was curious to hear out his proposition. Could it be that Mark was finally overcoming the weakness of Earth and coming to his senses? The only way to know for sure was to hear him out. "Very well. I still have to double tap the shark but I can hear you out first. Know this though: She will die for real if she ever tries that again." Anissa warned Mark before she suddenly rocketed herself up into the sky leaving Mark to try and play catch-up. First thing's first though. He sped over to a hospital and handed Harley off to them before he flew back across the city to meet Anissa who waited patiently for him. She smiled and cupped Mark's chin. "Go ahead Mark, tell me what's on your mind." - "Be very careful Mark. You're playing with fire here." Cecil warned him. - (More like a C4 Explosive.) Mark noted internally but he kept a brave face on and decided to bite the bullet and ask the big question. "Anissa of Viltrum." "Uh huh?" "I would like you to-" "Yes?" "Join our Superhero Team." "...Wait, what?" |
