Resurrecting
the Red
Chapter
23: In the Line of Fire, Part III
Booster
Gold watched as Wonder Woman punched Galatea through a bulkhead. The
clone halted herself in midair and flew back at the Amazon. Both
women exchanged blow for blow, pitting titanic strength against each
otherthe kind that would level a city in an instant.
You
know Ill be out of here soon, Jon-El taunted. He smirked at his
three guards. Zaranna glared at him while Red Tornado continued to
watch impassively. Booster Gold continued to concentrate on keeping
up the forcefield.
Dr.
Steven Carter, unlike his father, the former Booster Gold, had always
been a quiet and thoughtful man. He was very different from his
show-boating father, who had always been obsessed with fame. This
often brought embarrassment to the younger Carter, who was already at
odds with his father. When he wasnt being Booster Gold, he ran a
small medical clinic down in San Antonio.
The
floor! Zaranna suddenly warned. Booster Gold looked down in
surprise as the floor began to melt under their feet. Green radiation
poured up from the lower level as Blight melted away the
half-Kryptonians prison.
Jon-El!
Steven shouted. The machine gave a spark as the kryptonite barrier
died. The clone gave a smirk as Blight fired another blast of
radiation from below to cover him.
Booster
and Zaranna wasted no time in throwing up a barrier, but Jon-El was
faster. The half-Kryptonian knocked out the magician before she could
cast any spells. Steven immediately rushed to his friends aide and
checked her pulse. She was still alive, but she was badly injured.
Meanwhile,
Red Tornado was faced with the task of trying to halt Jon-El and
Blight, who had now paired up against him. The android cast a look
down at Booster Gold and saw that Zaranna was in grave condition. The
two men shared a look before Tornado told him to go.
Booster
Gold scooped up the unconscious Zaranna and raced down to the Medlab.
He was a Justice Leaguer, but he considered himself a doctor first.
He
had a feeling that he would be better off applying his medical skills
down in the infirmary.
They
might need it.
Diana
cursed when she saw that Jon-El had been freed. However, she had no
time to contemplate this as Galatea threw a punch at her, which she
managed to block.
The
Amazon gripped the other womans wrist and twirled her around
before throwing her at Jon-El. The other clone twisted out of the way
of Tornados attack and caught his cousin.
Give
it up, Jon-El warned. He and Galatea smirked at the heroes.
Oh,
I dont think so, a new voice said. Diana grinned as Kara Kent
flew at the surprised Galatea.
Dont
interfere Diana! Kara called as she punched her clone. This is
my fight! Diana shrugged as she and Tornado focused on Jon-El and
Blight. Both men only smirked at them.
Bring
it on, Old Lady, Jon-El taunted. Diana raised an eyebrow.
This
kid needed to learn some manners.
Tornado,
she said calmly. Take Blight. The kids mine.
.
Clark
Kent and Donna Troy were busy with Bizarro and Chameleon when Jonn
finally showed up to take Karas place. The Martian gave them a nod
as he faced off with the now dismayed Chameleon.
Donna
Troy kicked Bizarro towards Clark, who clasped his fists together and
hammered them down against the deformed clone. Bizarro smashed down
through several levels of the shaking compound.
Seconds
later, an infuriated Bizarro was flying back at them.
Me
Bizarro smash!
This
is getting repetitive, Donna muttered. She twisted around the ugly
clone and struck the back of his neck with her elbow. Then she hooked
a leg around his left ankle and swung him around before driving her
other foot into his stomach.
Clark
merely scratched his head as Bizarro plummeted to the ground. The
clone twitched, but didnt move.
Between
you and Diana, Im hardly needed, Clark smiled.
Stop
being humble, Donna said. Hell probably be awake in a few
minutes and mad as a hornet.
The
two superpowers looked down at where Warhawk and Aquagirl were
currently battling the Shade.
The
two younger Leaguers appeared to be having some trouble against the
Master of Shadows. Aquagirl had briefly managed to freeze him in ice,
but the Shade merely melted into a shadow and appeared across the
room.
Warhawk,
meanwhile, seemed to be having better luck since his armor was made
from Nth metal. The magical properties of the metal were having more
of an effect on the pale man.
Rex
punched him.
The
Shade flew back and melted once more in the shadows before any real
damage was done. Rex Stewart took to the air as he waited for the
villain to reemerge. Merina covered the floor with several feet of
water as she too waited.
They
didnt have to wait long.
Shadowy
hands reached out from the walls and attempted to grab both of the
Leaguers. Rex swooped around them as Merina danced along on the
water, avoiding the shadows.
Suddenly,
the Shade gave a scream as all of the shadows in the room abruptly
lit up in a flash of energy. He fell out of the wall and weakly onto
the ground, floating in the water. Aquagirl immediately seized the
chance and froze him in a crystal of ice.
Rex
whirled around to see who their secret helper was.
Mom!
he yelled.
Shayera
Hol Stewart flew down to her son, cradling her mace as her lips
widened into a smile. Her red hair contained only the tiniest amount
of gray and, except for one small, faint wrinkle, her face seemed
untouched by the last several decades.
Shayera
saw movement out of the corner of her eye and swooped in before any
of the others could react. The awakened Bizarro, intent on fighting
Superman and Donna Troy again, failed to see the mace wielding
Thanagarian.
He
collapsed again, out cold.
Rex
looked around before pressing the radiolink in his ear.
Batman,
Green Arrow, he said. Report your situation.
Weve
got them, Ethan answered back. We could use a little
help with our extraction though andoh wait. Theres my sister.
Black
Canary and Green Lantern should be enough, Rex answered back. Get
up here when you can. This place looks like it will collapse soon.
With
that, Warhawk looked around him suddenly.
Wheres
Jonn and Chameleon? he questioned. Clark shrugged his
shoulders, and frowned as he did so. The last time he had seen the
two men fighting, they had vanished through the wall.
Speaking
of them, wheres Huntress? Donna asked.
Chameleon
grimaced as Jonn pressed in on his attack. Both men were fairly
evenly matched, although the green metahumans strength was
slightly superior. However, it was Jonns mental abilities that
were proving to be his undoing.
The
metahuman was an empath only. While this offered some defense against
the Martian, it wasnt absolute.
The
two men, somewhere outside the compound, floated in the freezing
Rocky Mountain air. Sweat dripped down Chameleons face as he
attempted to block Jonns telepathic attacks.
That
failing, he grasped his head in pain as the Martian drove through his
defenses. He lost all sense of self as his mind was thoroughly
invaded and destroyed.
Jonn
watched in growing pity as the metahuman looked around him in terror.
His memories completely wiped, Chameleon had no idea where or who he
was.
He
now also had the mental capacity of a child.
Jonn
silently grasped the other mans cape and gently dragged him back
to the compound. He hadnt intended to inflict as much mental
damage as he did, but the Martian hadnt felt there was much
choice.
Chameleon
was just too dangerous.
.
Matt
peered curiously through the green shield. They had run unexpectantly
into Green Lantern and Black Canary. Now the former had both he and
Amanda Waller in a green ball of energy that he was using to
transport them, leaving Terry and Green Arrow with more freedom to
act.
The
Green Lantern intrigued the young McGinnis, as he was apparently not
much older than himself.
Hey,
how old Matt started to ask him.
Not
now Matt, Terry ordered. He and Ethan had taken the lead as Green
Lantern floated behind them. Black Canary, or Emily Queen, had taken
up the rear.
Matt
glared at his brother as his bottom lip jutted out slightly in a
pout. Amanda noticed this and felt a hint of a real smile. The boy
was really growing on her.
Matt
and Amanda looked on as the others suddenly came to a stop.
What
is it? Amanda asked.
Huntress,
Terry answered. The Boyscout just sent us a message. He said that
this place is about to collapse and that he spotted Huntress near us
with his X-Ray vision.
The
group veered off to the left and was soon greeted with the sight of
two fighting women. A panting Huntress was holding her left arm,
which sported a deep gash from her shoulder down to her elbow.
Huntress!
Ethan yelled. The red haired beauty cast him a look before ducking a
blow from an equally exhausted Curare.
Careful
GA, Terry said. Her names Curare, she was a member of the
Society of Assassins. As he said this, Curares eyes flashed in
recognition as she saw Batman.
So
shes from your Rogues Gallery, huh? Ethan asked dryly.
Oh
yeah, Terry answered.
Come
on Huntress, lets go! Black Canary shouted. Huntress glared
obstinately at her before throwing a kick at her opponent.
Hey
Kairo, do the honors please, Ethan said.
A
green light broke off from the ball of energy surrounding Matt and
Amanda and grabbed the red haired woman, pulling her back in a rubber
band effect. Elizabeth Szasz glared hotly as she found herself
sharing a ball of energy with Waller and Matt.
Im
not done yet! Elizabeth protested. Black Canary smirked at her.
Yeah,
you are, Emily Queen said. You can fight her again later, but
first weve got to get out of here.
Wed
better grab Curare too, Ethan pointed out. She might know our
identities since shes associated with Luthor.
Too
late, Terry said.
The
others paused and looked around. In the seconds they had been
distracted, the former assassin had already slipped silently away.
..
Barbara
Gordon drummed her fingers against her arm as she watched the dark
skinned teenager. Dick had volunteered Max Gibson to her to assist
her. Barbara was glad she had come.
Barbara
had fed Mary McGinnis a little white lie on how Terry and Matt had
witnessed a crime and were now giving a report to the police. Being
the protective mother that she was, Mrs. McGinnis kept calling,
demanding to talk to her sons.
Are
you ready? Barbara finally asked. Max gave her a thumbs up sign as
she tapped a few commands into a keyboard with her other hand.
Barbara picked up the phone and took Mary McGinnis off hold.
Yes,
Mrs. McGinnisI have Terry right here, Barbara lied. She held
the phone out to Max, who had already hacked a line into the phone
call.
Hey
Mom, Max said. She was using a computer program to disguise her
voice as Terry. Since the two were best friends, she knew exactly how
he would answer.
Terry,
are you two okay? Mary McGinnis asked worriedly.
Im
fine Mom, Terry said. We wont be here much
longer.
But
school Mary started.
Commissioner
Gordon has sent emails to our teachers, excusing us for our absence,
Terry answered. Just in case its a long night.
Alright,
Mary McGinnis finally said. Wheres your brother? I want to
talk to him.
Hes
in the bathroom, Max answered. Hes fine, Mom. Dont worry.
Ill call you back a little later.
Alright,
bye Terry, Mary said.
Max
clicked off the phone and sat back with a look of satisfaction.
Barbara shook her head. She pitied the poor mother. Mary McGinnis
didnt deserve this, especially the lies. The Commissioner decided
that she and Terry might need to have a talk on the importance of
being open with your parents
Then
again, how long had she waited before telling her father that she was
Batgirl? Barbara realized suddenly that she had no room to talk.
That
was pretty good, Kid, Barbara told Max. The girl grinned at her.
The Commissioner gave her a considering look.
You
ever consider a career in law enforcement? Barbara asked suddenly.
Max gave her a surprised look.
Uhno,
Max answered truthfully. Barbara Gordon gave a wry smile.
Want
to work for me?
Static
and Flash gave a sigh of relief when Star Sapphire finally collapsed
on the floor and didnt get back up. David, after his momentary
dizziness, had joined the fight again.
I
suppose wed better keep an eye on these two, Virgil said. If
they wake back up again He paused when he saw David stumble a
step.
You
okay? he asked in concern. Flash was holding his head again.
Its
that voice again, David mumbled. Virgil felt his concern deepen.
Voice?
the older man asked suspiciously. He didnt like the sound of that.
In Virgils experience, hearing invisible voices was never a good
sign.
Yeah,
David said. Ever since my fight with Jon-El, Ive been hearing
this voice. Bruce and Jonn seem to think it has something to do
with the fact that I almost fell into the speed force.
Virgil
stopped cold.
You
almost what? Virgil almost yelled. No one had told him
about that. They had lost Wally to the speed force; they didnt
need to lose David.
Nnn,
David grunted. He fell to his knees and clutched his head.
Flash!
Virgil yelled. He gripped the young mans shoulders and shook him,
but no reply. David!
Suddenly,
David froze as he appeared to be listening to an invisible voice.
David?
Kid? Virgil asked cautiously. David suddenly spun around to stare
at the older man; he seemed to have trouble breathing.
Its
Him! David nearly yelled. I know it is!
Wait,
wait! Virgil protested, holding up his hands. Calm down. Its
Who?
My
grandpa, David nearly whispered. I asked him his name and he
said its Wally West.
Virgil
stared.
