The Present:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Waller’s over thinking had actually saved me, she knew I wouldn’t talk and so had brought the sodium pentothal so as to help loosen my tongue, instead it had reacted with the muscle sedative causing my body to go into a violent state of chemical shock. Its not much of a blessing, from what I can still sense of my surroundings I’m being overseen by at least eight different medical staff, all working for Waller and Lex, I’m still a prisoner and backup is not going to arrive anytime soon.
However for now, I’m alive and better still I now know what Waller needs, better yet I’m the closest thing she’s got to getting what she wants. I can use that to stay alive. Once my body heals, I’m breaking free and then assuming I make it clear I’m calling in all the muscle we have to take this place down.
Wherever here is…

Two Weeks Earlier:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
“J’onn any luck”
“Not yet, however I still have Oracle searching for other clues globally”
“Damn it J’onn, I know what I smelt down there. Lex and Waller are working together”
“I trust your senses Vixen, but the evidence presented so far does not give us the right to simply intrude. Lex Luthor is a powerful man and held in the public eye. There would be a severe backlash from both the media and the general public if we enforced our will”
“Forced our will? Listen J’onn I’m not saying we just go in there and tare his place apart. But whatever that creature was that took down Supergirl two weeks back is still yet to be found, what clues we had say it was created at that installation down in Canada. Now we know Waller was behind it and that she’s on the run, and from what I picked up she ran straight to Lex”
“It doesn’t make any sense, Waller has never truly trusted Lex, she is a strategist used by the government to help predict and counter worse case scenarios, in order to run to Lex she would have needed to have equal reason”
“Your point?”
“What could be so dangerous it would have Waller so scared she needed to go to Lex”
“I don’t know J’onn, but what we should all be scared off right now is what will Lex do with it now he has it under his grasp?”
Two days later I had my answer, knowing that my relationship with Ollie had become strained since Dinah had resurfaced, I simply faded into the shadows. Became a rogue agent, heck I’d seen Batman in action enough to know how to remain hidden; my own abilities meant I had no problems tracking Lex down. I don’t know just when he knew I was following him; all I do know is that his patience with Meta-humans is very thin.
“Gorilla”
I charge at the first man, he fires the energy blast but it’s too late, as my fist slams hard into his jaw. His head snaps back and blood spills from his burst lip as he hits the floor.
“You’ll pay for that b###h” the second of the three hit men moves. His pole staff glows at one end as lightning cackles in the air like a crying wolf. The hairs on my neck rise and I know the discharge is coming. “Cheetah” I mutter under my breath as new speed fills my legs, rushing forward I dodge the bolt of energy moving in close I grab the man by the back of his jacket pulling it down, his arms become taught, trapped in his own sleeves as his pole drops to the floor. I blow to the head knocks him out cold that leaves only one more.
“ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH” the pain is all I feel; so intense I don’t even hear my own scream. Lex’s hired goons know how to do their job.
“Rhino” I pray its hide will take the brunt of the second strike, it does but still I scream. My hands begin to shake, their feeling gone, replaced by a cold numbness that seems to be making its way all the way up my body. I panic, wishing I had brought in the team; right now I could use their help.
Its another two hours before any form of sensation returns, 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.

Present Day:

“Her vital signs look good, she should be conscious soon”
Little do these lab coats know, I’m already awake. Just playing dead so that I have time to fully heal. When its safe to do so I blink using the visual sense to guide my powers of hearing and scent to help map out the room. Since Lex’s goons ambushed me, I’ve been moved at least half a dozen times, which means if this a compound its big. Furthermore Waller is stationed here and her secret project involves the league or else she wouldn’t want their identities.
“Her brain wave activity appears normal, lets sedate her and get her to her cell, Waller will want to speak with her again”
“Yeah here’s hoping she uses the right cartages this time, I am not pulling the froth from her mouth again, I know her powers are animal based but hey, she was looking a little like old yellow”
“Rabid dog, mind you she is pretty”
“She’s a top model, well she is whenever she’s not trying to take down guys like us”
I feel his hand gently touch my skin and I bite back every sense I have so as not to feel sick.
“Damn she’s like melted chocolate, hard to believe she could snap you in half like Wonder Woman”
“Gorilla” that’s when I break my restraints and know its now or never, I grab the nearest lab technician by the neck, the one who actually dreamt he had the right to touch me. “Believe it” I throw with all the power still held within my arms and hear the loud thud as his body slams against the wall. The second of the scientist goes to move, but the cheetah within me is faster, like a blur I’m suddenly ahead of him and I can almost smell the fear.
