Hello. Um, wow this has a lotta hits. Much love guys.
Anyway we've gotten an intro to part of the hero side, let's peak in on some of the...antagonists and glancing revisit the teaser blurb from the last chapter of "The Road to Hell". Here be OCs but...are they really?
Quick thing about the songs I pick. I believe that music is the ultimate uniter and such a multifaceted means of expression. Twenty people could hear the same song and get twenty different meanings. That's okay. I get all my lyrics and their meanings from either songmeanings.net, from the artist sites or my personal interpretation. Doesn't mean I'm right and I understand that. The songs and specifically the verses I use fit their chapters in my opinion. Got questions about my selections, I don’t mind answering em ;-P

Matchbook Romance leads the way with Monsters.
Chapter 2
Monsters
We are, we are the shaken
We are the monsters, underneath your bed
Yeah, believe what you read
We are, we are mistaken
We are the voices, inside your head
Yeah, believe what you see
In an unknown location, another meeting was underway. Six figures dressed in nearly identical black hooded robes dotted with stars sat around a large crystal viewing orb. The only way to tell them apart was by voice and the emblem on the clasps at their throats.
"So, Sagittarius, how goes your endeavors? I hear good things about your progress." A soft feminine voice spoke. It did not belong to any one visible.
"Quite well mother. Roy is recovering from his overdose and as subsequent withdrawal as well as can be expected according to his doctors and therapist. Still...relapse is always an option if necessary. Superman is still in the doghouse with Ms. Lane since she got her exclusive expose on the Super Deadbeat from yours truly in March. And now his mother is livid as well. My spell is slowly working to pull the pole out of his star spangled ass. Epsilon has proven himself quite capable in his first unsupervised mission as well." A young male voice spoke. His clasp bore the glyph for his name, a simple arrow.
“Do tell.” ‘Mother’ said.
“Yes ma’am. I was successful in infiltrating L-5’s base of operations. Once inside I Whispered the suggestion to use his current mission as an excuse to attack Atlantis rather than merely install the earthquake generator 25 mi. to the east. During the battle, I protected Queen Mera without her knowledge all the while Whispering that the choice to conceal Kaldur’um’s true parentage was a mistake. That doing so will make him more likely than not to turn on his homeland. When Garth and Tula came to check on her majesty I used my abilities again to suggest that regardless of Aqualad’s feelings, they should pursue their relationship. At some point, L-5 was killed by the Atlantean Royal Guard, his men captured. Ocean Master’s survival was inconsequential to my mission, only that his attack fail to reach the palace.” A much younger voice spoke from beside Sagittarius. The boy was obviously smaller than the man he sat next to. His clasp also bore the same sigil only a lowercase Greek e was next to it.
“Good job kiddo.” the woman to Sagittarius’s right said lightly.
“Thank you Lady Pisces. What of your assignment and your son?” Epsilon asked in kind.
“Gotham is a dark city dear one. He is as well as one can be growing up there. I worry that the gifts I have given him will not be enough to protect him but that is probably just a mother’s worry. Belle Reeve however is going according to plan. The Light continues to use it as a front for it’s dealings. Strange has no idea of any of his ‘inmates’ are some of my sleeper pawns. Since the capture of the Injustice League, I have been monitoring them closely.” Pisces, also wearing the zodiac symbol for her name cross her legs allowing one bare foot to peak out from the folds of her robe. The top of the appendage also bore her symbol.
“Don’t worry, your child is strong Pisces from what I’ve seen. I know you watch him in your spare time as well so I do not blame you for worrying.” A lock of blond hair fell from the hood of another woman wearing the sign for Virgo but her face was still hidden. “The JLA is pushing for more regulation of the metahuman, alien and homo magi populous on Earth. It has not progressed to a full blown registration demand but I am aware of several projects in the works that will let the League know of anyone of the 3 who are on the planet. The one spear heading this campaign is Dr.Fate, most likely in response to growing concern global for the potential of this hidden community. While I’m not sure Nabu gives a damn about the public’s fears or even the struggles of individuals confused about their abilities, he is a busy body and is seeking a way to preemptive strike against us. Laughable really.” Virgo chuckled.
“Yes, I spoke to him before the start of this year. Just as arrogant, presumptive an easily misdirected as he was when Kent was his host. He seems to be under the impression that he is responsible for maintaining order in the universe. I allowed him to continue that fantasy. He only knows of the Gemini. Not you their servant Ladies or their hidden brother Sagittarius and his servant.” Mother yawned. “ Must attend to something my dears. See you soon.” The only sign of her departure was silence.
“Zatanna is trying to cope but I fear she may be headed for another break down. Arrow girl will be in for quite a shock soon, won’t she Pollux?” One of the figures branded with the Gemini sign turned to his twin. Both were joined by a chain connect to one wrist each. The bound hands also has the same symbol. His brother growled at him.
“Shut up Castor. Her name is Artemis and she is of no concern to you brother. None of the Young Justice team save Zatanna is your concern. What are those idiots in the Light doing?”
“Nothing much. Starotech is being retooled to be used in the same capacity but on a team of their own creation. Virgo, it seems our respective surveillance subjects are both seeking a way to control of not merely monitor potential heroes and villains. It’s what the whole Belle Reve faux breakout was about. It will serve as a production and testing facility.” Castor chuckled at his brother’s anger. “Come on, I was merely joking. Still it would be nice to have the right name on the condolence baskets I send to Green Arrow and Huntress after she gets her pretty little head ripped off--WHOA!” His sentence was silenced by Pollux lunging for him and grabbing his throat.
“I’m gonna kill you! You waited till mother left to say that!” Pollux roared. Virgo ran to pull off her enraged master while Pisces shielded his twin. Across from the fight, Sagittarius shook his head in exasperation.
“It’s so difficult to tell I’m the younger brother when they act like starlings. What is it Epsilon?” He looked down at the tugging on his sleeve.
“Master they won’t let anything happen to her will they really?” The child’s confident voice was replaced by fear. The older man put his hand on the child’s head.
“Castor is an ass but no she should be fine, don’t worry about it kitten. He only said that to piss off Pollux.”
“Why do you call me that master?” The boy looked up. His hood fell from his face revealing wild black hair and deep green eyes.
“Why? Why, you’re a cat.” He spoke evenly. Epsilon froze, his pupils dilating.
“Yes. A Cheshire cat.” The boy in toned automatically. His cloak swirled around and consumed him as he fell to the ground before turning green. Soon in place of the little boy lay an unconscious and fully grown Jade Nguyen.
“I’m sure your father hasn’t missed you but go home little one.” He created a black portal the downed assassin vanished into. “Lady Virgo, I should like your assistance once you are sure your master won’t murder Pisces’ master. Actually all I need is the use of you lips.”
“Yes Lord Sagittarius.” The blonde nodded as he approached the struggle holding two golden arrows in his hand. He pressed the dull tips to her full lips and the metal sparked.
“Thank you. Good luck with my brothers.” The young man dropped down into a portal under his feet. Virgo just sighed as her master resumed his struggle throttle his twin.
“Oh for affinity sakes you two grow up!”
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
The team meanwhile was discussing the fun they would have. Operation Hooky was little more than a plan to annoy their mentors. They argued that in light of how troubled the last few months had been, they needed break and a chance to be kids. They were teenagers after all.
“It doesn’t feel right with out Roy.” Connor said. “He’s locked up in that hospital like criminal while we’re planning a day to ditch our duties.” He was setting the table while Megan made breakfast.
“Dude, I understand how you feel but he needed help. Roy’s like the broody older brother I never wanted and he almost died. Twice. All because he can’t take the fact that he’s not the original Roy Harper. He needs help bad. He knows we care about him and wouldn’t want us all throwing him a pity party.” Wally said. His reach for some bacon was stopped by a floating spatula whacking his knuckles. “Ow! Come on Megs!”
“No, just wait.” The martian girl didn’t even turn around or pause in pouring the waffle batter. Artemis chuckled form her spot in the sofa tying her shoes. Beside her Raquel and Z were trying to see if anything good was on this early.
“Baywatch is right. That’s the only Roy I’ve ever known and he would break our knees if we passed up the chance to bug the shit out of Ollie.” She stifled a yawn. “What’s our status Bird Boy?”
“A whole lot of nothing. They lied to us. There are no alerts for any where in this area of the fucking country that warrant more than a cop or two. What aren’t they telling us?” Robin grumbled. He was hurt that after all this time, Bruce still apparently did not trust him.
“We merely have to attack the weakest link. My apologizes Wally but that appears to be your uncle.” Kaldur pulled his shirt on.
“Meh, no sweat. I have a whole SD card full of interesting things he doesn’t want Aunt Iris to know about. Like the Christmas party or whatever PC term Canary came up with for it.” With that, the red head zoomed off towards his room. Leaving an empty plate of bacon in his wake.
“WALLY!”
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
Yes that little boy turned into exactly who you think he did. You’ve been introduced to the Zodiac Knights and have a little more about the Team’s grand plan. Next up we see how busy the League really is, a look see at the Light and some more on the team’s history since New Year’s.
