Deal with the Devil

J’onn had relayed the necessary information and lets face facts here, the Avengers old headquarters is a place any superhero knows well. Heck I wanted to be one of them, but when the league offered me a spot. Well I wouldn’t even say I took second best.

I had raced across city blocks with the all the speed of the cheetah, still as fast as I was; it was all two slow for the two boys. The first, Wiccan had taken a blow from Kara that was audible even to my ears two full city blocks away. Now as I arrived, she seemed awkward in her approach, almost as if she was at war with herself, defending the young boy, a second child. Green in colour and yet red in anger, he stood toe to toe with Power Girl and for a brief second he even seemed to be holding his own, but that was only for a second. Red crimson heat burned deep into his skin, his scream of pain didn’t go unnoticed by Wiccan. I hear him mumble under his breath as lightning rains down. Kara burns and screams, her body blown back by the sheer elemental power.

“Ok children, plays time over. Move out of here now”

“What no way, we can help” I can’t help but feel a small sense of pride as the young boy with wings on hi headband offers to stay despite what has taken place.

“It’s ok, I can take her” I lie, a false smile seems to appease him “take your friend and move, quickly”

I turn only for a second to see both boys disappear under a blast of light, when suddenly she’s upon me. I call upon the elephant and meet her charge. Her mind is lost into rage, she doesn’t compensate for my strength and for an instant I surprise her, slamming my weight down on top of her, I continue my charge and feel her crack the concrete as I trample her under foot.

As I’m looking down, I see her smile, her hand grabs my ankle and I feel the pain and the crack of a bone, damn it. Standing she keeps a tight grip swinging me by my foot, I think of the rhino and pray its tough hide will suffice for what is yet to come. She swings me hard, as I crash into the avengers security gates. She moves like a blur bending the metal around my body, before a flash of heat welds me tight. My body is pinned and she knows it, the healing powers of the salamander already begin working on my foot, all I need now is time to heal.

“What is wrong with you, I mean I know you never quite made the grade and so you was kicked down to b squad, but hey just cause your sitting on the JSA side lines is no reason to take it out on young children” her face twists, good she’s angry. “Unless of course you like the younger man, I mean breasts like that you’re bound to be able to get any guy you want. That is unless you like the sixteen-year-old type. So you go on the prowl, seriously though a Hulk and Thor wannabe? You can do better”

I let out a scream as she tightens the metal a little more “What’s a matter, don’t tell me the B squad is kicking you’re A squad ass”

“Oh hell no, just working out some tension in the lower back darling, if you ever get tired of walking in Superman’s shadow, chiropractic would be a good move for you”

“You know I could snap that neck of yours as easily as I could a tree branch, but I think I’m just going to enjoy beating the living day light out of that pretty face of yours”

“You sure you’re up to it”

“You really need to learn when to shut up”

“And you really need to learn I’m more than just a pretty face” the strength of the gorilla pours through my arms, breaking the metal gate free, next I fire the venom of the spitting cobra into her face, before finally grabbing hold of her body and channelling the raw energy of the electric eel.

Then its over, I go to hit her hard, when she slices beams of energy directly in front of my path.

“Vixen? Where am I? And are we fighting?”

For a second I nearly believe it to be a trick and almost charge at her a second time, but she could move with all the speed of the sun and if she had wanted to, she could have taken me down right there and then.

“What happened to you?”

“I don’t know, I was sent to check out the moon by Michael and then…. It all a blur”

“If you are up to it, I’d like to have J’onn see if he can pick up on anything telepathically”

I signal J’onn and seconds later Kara disappears in a flash of light. God bless transporters pads.

She paces quickly, she didn’t believe they would track her down as fast as they have, but that’s not what has her mad, it’s the fact not only have they found her, their about one hour away from shutting her down and locking her up.

“You can’t do this to me Jack, I worked for you and your god forsaken team for several years and the first time I get it wrong you throw me to the wind”

“That’s the way we work and you knew what you was getting yourself into and don’t even try and play the wounded dove here Amanda, you was well compensated for your troubles”

She hangs up, knowing full well she was only wasting time by staying on the line. Instead she speed dials someone else in her stored memory. Sometimes when the righteous are knocking down your door, its time to make a deal with the devil and lord knows the man she is attempting to call has been called a lot worse.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Can it Lex, I need a clean up team of yours here within the hour”

“What not even a friendly hello”

“Within the hour Lex, I assume you have already tracked my cell phone”

“Well you can’t be to careful”

“If you and your team aren’t here within the hour, ill be learning all about how careful I should have been and you will have missed your real chance to strike at Superman”

“I’ve already got ways of striking at Superman Amanda”

“Yes but I mean a way that gets results. One hour Lex”

She hangs up, hoping she made her case strong enough for him to get involved. The factory is all but deserted except for herself and the young girl floating in a suspension tank.

“I won’t let them take you Samantha, I won’t let them take either of us” she sits back down at her desk, staring at the silver gun sitting on the desk. She loads the barrel with two bullets and hopes she doesn’t need to use either of them.
