My vision is blurred, my eyes slowly creep open, almost scared of what they will see. In the brief few minutes I was knocked unconscious, my sense of reality warps and for an all to brief few minutes I am at peace.
No sooner have my eyes begun to fight the haze, than does pain strike my cheek, its nothing more than a slap and yet the severity of the sensation brings about an all to obvious conclusion, I am being beaten to death.
“Poor little Mari, you really are inconsequential and I am more than happy to have my associate call of his heavy hands. However I really do need some information in order for that to happen. So I shall ask you one more time, where is Oliver Quinn?”
“I already told you, if I knew where he was right now. I’d be the one killing him”
“You really do like to play rough”
The man with the long flowing pony tail simply nods and once more a heavy blow strikes me, this time it is my shoulder, I feel the crack and instantly begin to channel the healing abilities of the salamander. I’ve lost count of just how many bones I’ve had to stitch back together, but understand all to well that sooner or later I will reach my breaking point, something will rupture and I will die on this chair, what I need now is a way to escape and when I do I’m making good on my promise, I’m going to kill Oliver Quinn.

“Hey Vixen wait up”
“Not now”
“Hey don’t I even get an hello anymore”
“Sorry John, but right now I need to find Quinn”
“Ohh I see”
The tone is his voice reaches me; I look up and see the green glow from his power ring spark and for an all to brief second I remember what we once shared.
“Its personal trouble John”
“Let me guess, Dinah”
“Does everybody know?”
“Just the ones that care about you, I thought Dinah was doing something down in Gotham, near the docks”
“Yeah and Ollie was just making sure he would be in the neighbourhood, then his Com Link went dead, I’m going to check it out”
“You mean make sure he and Dinah aren’t up to something”
The anger forces the animal in me to react in instinct; I squeeze the wall tearing directly through the metal.
“Like I said, I’m going find Ollie”
Suddenly I feel weird, as the face and words of the Martian known as J’onn J’onzz fills my head.
“To anybody listening, this is a priority two alert, I repeat a priority two”
The voice fades, replaced by that of John, his ring bursting with power, his eyes the colour of shinning emeralds.
“Luthor”
He needn’t have said it; we had been expecting this for the last two years. Lex had been to quiet, staying off of the radar for far two long. It was only a matter of time until he resurfaced. I follow Johns emerald trail as fast as the speed of the cheetah allows. By the time I reach the command centre a briefing is already taking place.
“Vixen I need you down on the surface immediately, you will be coordinating with Mister Terrific”
“What’s going on?”
“A secret research lab, funded by Amanda Waller has just been shut down by an internal department”
“Great so they finally took her off the radar, its about time she was put on the back bench”
“Unfortunately by the time the authorities arrived, they discovered nothing but an empty hanger bay, a Lex Corp containment crew is still on scene”
“You think Amanda went to Lex for help, that’s just crazy, she isn’t that stupid”
“Whatever it is, the JSA are still requesting back up”
“Isn’t this more a Bruce and Clark investigation”
“Bruce is busy in Gotham, and I am having trouble contacting Superman”
“But just why do they need me?”
“Your animal senses may pick up on something our scanners missed, and you are currently our best tracker on active duty”
“So just where is the empty hanger?”
“Canada, I have the co-ordinates, our transporters will get you there”
“Great just great”

“You idiot, don’t let her escape. She does and we’ll have a green Martian down on us in seconds.”
“But she moves like the flash”
“Don’t worry boss, I got this place sealed up tighter than Alcatraz, she isn’t going anywhere”
“I hope for all our sakes that’s true, because my boss don’t take to kindly to failure, in fact right now, where more dead than she is, so get her found”
The ears of the wolf mean that even being a few corridors away; I managed to hear most of the conversation. Right now I’m trying to heal, my wounds are extensive and I’m bleeding internally. For now I’m hoping I have enough strength to get out of here. If I even knew where he was, damn it this has to be part of Amanda and lex’s plans, but what and why Oliver, heck how the hell do they even know his real name. That’s when I hear his footsteps approaching, the heavy feet tell me it’s the guy who did this to me and the way he’s breathing suggests that he not all that happy with the way I escaped, I guess a head butt to the face followed by an elephant sitting on your chest can have that effect.
With that the door bursts open, I don’t know how strong this guy is, and I’m still bleeding. But for now my healing has to wait, its payback time and I’m going to enjoy taking this clown apart.
To Be Continued….
