Hello!
So, the real threat has shown themselves. The Knights have revealed themselves and Robin learned about the origin of the mysterious force that protects him. This is the first real battle chapter so I appologize if it’s not great.I had a tough time with this one because I’m not good with writing fight scenes. Shiva and Kali go after the one Knight that’s alone and pandemonium ensues on the Watchtower. With all the recent developments, no one’s actually had time to notify each other of recent developments.
Let it be noted that there is a difference in the actual size of the League between the JLUverse and the YJverse. The reason being heroes working together on such a scale is a rather new concept in the Earth-16 continuity. I hate this. So, I’m using the JLUverse catalog of heroes and function of the Watchtower. It gives me an excuse to use more of my favorite characters in cameo capacity ; ). This doesn’t mean the league is huge though (the story would fall apart with me trying to keep up), it just makes it more interesting when the events of this chapter unfold.

Bullet for My Valentine’s Your Betrayal is the sound track.
Chapter 20
Your Betrayal
You said that we'd be forever
How could you kill me and lie to my face
Now that we can't be together
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart!
You were told to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal!
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal!
Booster Gold loved times like this. Nothing was really going on, well the kids were missing but the A-listers were handling that. Not his problem on second string. It’s not that he was lazy per say just...immensely frustrated at the moment. And watching his crime fighting partner in his lab on the Watchtower was driving him insane. There was only so much a man could do on his own and Booster was at his limit. No missions meant he could finally do something about that frustration. Reclining in his chair, his mind wandered.
He hated Blue’s costume not for any fashion reason but because the evil thing hid so much of his boyfriend; his eyes, his skin and that gorgeous reddish brown hair. It was a bitch to get off of the shorter man too. That costume helped Booster focus though; if he couldn’t see that hair, that skin or those eyes he was far less likely to pull the inventor off of the battlefield, into an alley and ravish him senseless while their comrades continued the mission. Yes it was that distracting dammit.
Before him at the moment was plainly attired Ted Kord, not Blue Beetle though. So naturally all he could think about was turning that soft tan flesh bright red. Seeing those baby blue eyes glazed over in lust and sweat matting rust colored locks to his forehead. Ted didn’t seem to understand his own body was just built for sin. He was very self conscious and simply didn’t notice how other men sometimes looked at him or tried coming on to him when they thought Michael wasn’t around. When he did, confusion was written all over his face. That fact alone pissed Michael off to no end. While the expression was adorable, the blond still wanted to break the asswipe’s knees for even thinking about taking what was his.
Now, if only he could get the man away from his newest project. He could think of far better uses for the surface of that table...
That’s as far as he gets in planning before the klaxons signalling a security breach sound. Oblivious to his lover’s plight, Ted ran off to suit up and the sound of a head repeatedly hitting a wall also goes unnoticed over the noise of the alarm.
The universe is officially out to get him. If only he knew how literal that statement was.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
In only a litttle while, the main hall was a warzone. The same two girls from the video feed were tearing through the world’s finest like tissue paper.
Hal Jordan was down for the count covered in deep bloody gashes. His ring had been quickly drained facing the young woman in blue wielding the scythe-like sword and she took great delight in carving him up like a turkey. Barely conscious, he saw the limp form of ten year old Billy Baston surrounded by an ever growing pool of red.
Captain Marvel tried (and failed) to fight off a horde of beasts made of emerald energy sent after him by the same girl. That solved the mystery of how the Green Lantern lost his powers so fast. They pounced on him all at once clawing and tearing but seemed to lose interest and dissipate once a flash of lightning revealed their opponent to be a mere child.
Wonder Woman was actually nursing a broken leg among other grievous injuries. The amazon found herself just as horrified at the sight of several bone fragments jutting out of the skin as seeing the light rapidly dim in the youngest leaguer’s eyes. Crawling to him (the armor that gave her the ability to fly was cracked), she pulled the boy into her lap and clutched his tiny hand. She silently vowed to comfort him as best she could in their final moments.
Red Tornado was missing the entire left side of his body and totally useless. No one was sure if he was even functioning. The same one that beat the Amazon Princess to a pulp had fired a wave of energy from her spear that took him out and caused a terrified scream behind him.
Hawkwoman was desperately trying to stem the flow from where part of her husband’s left wing and arm had been sheared off from the blast. He had thrown her clear and for the most part she was unharmed. The energy of the attack did nothing to cauterize the wounds so Shayera had torn parts of her uniform off for tourniquets but he poor man was beginning to show signs of shock and she was helpless to do any more.
Booster Gold was already in shock but not from a wound. Lying pale and still in his lap was Blue Beetle, a baseball sized hole through his chest. This couldn’t be happening. The time traveller sat catatonic clutching his lover’s body. The golden armour, his visor and even his hair dripped crimson from the spray of his beloved’s life essence into the air.
One of Mr. Terrific’s spheres had shielded the grieving man but left himself open to a blast of electric energy that sent him into a far wall where he did not rise. The only person bodily able to move was the only one without much defense against energy based attacks. Batman braced himself for the inevitable, a batarang drawn, as the manic eyed girl in red flew at him spear at the ready. He’d only returned to the tower to use the computer program Fate designed to search for Robin. His tracker was disabled but his signature given off by his strange powers should still be traceable. Once he cleared the virus the boy had infected it with of course.
A blur of black and a scream of agony later, the Dark Knight found the triple prongs inches from his face. But protruding from the back of a familiar black jacket.
“So you came to save your mortal toys. Figures, you always did care more for these creatures than your own kind.” The girl hissed and violently yanked the weapon free. “It will be your undoing, love.”
“Oh, no Shiva. You don’t get to call me that anymore you psychotic bitch!” The being known to most in the room as Klarion yelled at her. Black liquid stained his white shirt and collected at his feet. He slashed the air with clawed hands, creating arcs of red that forced her back towards her sister. Before she had a chance to recover, a dome of the same magic enclosed the Justice League members and him in a protective shield.
“How did you get here?!” Wonder Woman demanded. She instantly regretted yelling as she felt something broken inside poke something else painfully.
“Why are you protecting us?! You brought them didn’t you?!” Hawkwoman ragged, grabbing her mace but Batman grabbed her arm. “Let me go!”
“You really ought to be more concerned with the fact that the instant I pass out, you all die.” Klarion dropped to his hands and knees still outlined in a red aura. Bruce realized the inky puddle under the Chaos Mage to be his blood and at this rate, he’s be unconscious in minutes. The shield was already flickering.
“Get out here and face me you coward! You fell into our trap now die like a man!” The same girl screamed as she fired blast after blast at the dome. Each one caused cuts to open up on Klarion’s face and body; more blood collected under him and the glow around them to flicker even more dangerously.
“You’re totally cut off from the others and that pitiful guise won’t last long against the two of us.” The one in blue joined her in the assault causing the witchboy to cry out in pain.
“Got back to Hell Kali! Hey Batsy you better call my brother now! I’m stuck in this form without him and in case you haven’t noticed, it’s no match for these harpies.” He groaned weakly through gritted teeth.
“If you can’t how am I suppose to?” Batman frowned. He hadn’t seen just how powerful Castor really was but he knew it was greater than he let on. If these women had blocked him, the odds of a distress signal from his com getting out were slim to none.
“What is going on?!” Hal rasped.
“Question later, signal now! Just call out for him in your mind, he’s tuned to you guys. Hurry up! I can’t do this forever!”
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
“Gah!” Wally screamed clutching his left hand. His symbol was burning like mad. “Cas is in trouble! Everyone on the tower is!”
“I can’t sense him! What the hell?!” Roy abandoned his conversation with Artemis and grabbed his thigh doubling over. His symbol was pulsing painfully too. “But he’s hurt bad...ngh!”
“What’s happening?” Superman questioned.
“Shiva and Kali are here. They’re attacking the Watchtower. The only reason they’re there is they knew Cas would be alone trying to talk to Bats. Epsilon, go get Gabriel and Sylphine; tell her that crazy bitch is after her man.” Roy snarled.
“Yes master!” The young body vanished.
“We better get up there.” Flash said. Wally tripped him before he got off one foot. “What gives?!”
“Uncle B, no! Those two are bad news and you won’t have a chance. Let us handle it.”
“We have to do something! You don’t seriously expect us to wait around while you go play hero do you?” Artemis cried. “This is what we’re trained to do.”
“Not it’s not!” Wally’s eyes flashed white. “Dammit for once listen to me! This is why we exist. This is a battle between chaos mages and mortals have no place in it!”
The team and their mentors watched him run into the transporter fast enough to leave fire in his wake followed by Roy. Mortals, he’d called them mortals like they were fragile and weak. So that was it? They trained and battled only to be told to stay put like children?
For the first time, the world’s mightiest heroes and their proteges felt utterly useless.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
Poor Blue and Gold (sob).
Who’s still alive and who’s already dead? What did Roy mean by what he said to Epsilon? One thing is for sure, a very mad Sylphine will make an appearance next chapter. Haven’t forgotten about Robin and Pisces, you’ll see why they haven’t come back yet soon. Stay tuned to have these questions answered. Reviews appreciated.
