“Oh yeah, that reminds me...” Control Freak grumbles, taking you out of your focus.

He reaches into his sci-fi trench coat and pulls out what appears to be a jet black cup, decorated with the same laughing skull emblem that's on your back.

“Blackfire said to make you this or she'd crush my balls harder than she did yours.”

You just blink and quietly take the cup.

“Okay, now that I don't have to think about that anymore...” Control Freak quietly remarks, shuddering as the thought enters his mind for the last time.

You thank Control Freak for everything and leave him with his show.

You're now back in the hallway, with your communicator in your palm as the message remains displayed on the screen.

It seems that you've attracted the attention of another ominous individual, probably as nefarious as Brother Blood judging by his praise of your fight with the Titans.

You're curious about who this could be, but you also consider yourself spoken for seeing how you're still with HIVE.

A: Respond to the message.

B: Ignore it.

C: Just go back to Blackfire, you can figure this out later.

>>1829816

You decide to hear whoever this is out.

You reply to the message and ask for a location, and almost instantly you receive coordinates along with some instructions.

“Come immediately. Come alone. Don't keep me waiting.”

“Now?!” You say out loud, following it up with a groan.

You were planning on spending more time with Blackfire, but his guy seems to be really pushy.

You look over at Blackfire's door and sigh. Would she be mad if you left now, and if you decided to stay, would whoever contacted you be angry as well?

It's bad enough with The Oni on your tail, you don't need a pissed alien girlfriend or some stalking creep to make things worse.


A: Go see him. Blackfire might disappointed, but you'll make it up to her.

B: Stay with Blackfire. She's more important than some random guy demanding you see him.

You shake your head. You and Blackfire had a really fun, carnage-filled date. There's no way she could stay mad at you.

You slide open the door and poke your head in.

“Hey baby, I gotta-” You're cut short by the sight before you.

Blackfire is just sprawled across the mattress in her underwear, snoring loudly and drooling on the sheets. It seems you took a bit longer than you thought, and she fell into a deep slumber.

You smile at your sleeping beauty. You'll just slip back in once this is all over.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuyioN2YTrM

Over the course of the hour, you've gotten back on your bike and sped off towards the city.

Putting the coordinates into your communicator has brought you to the much seedier area of the city.

You're used to being around bad parts of town, but even these parts are giving you bad vibes.

Your bike cruises past abandoned buildings and homeless camps, the stench of poverty and garbage breaching your mask as you make your way through this desolate area.

Your bike travels down one last trash ridden street, only to pull up in front of an condemned steel mill.

According to the map, this should be the place. You cut off your growling engine and step off your bike, slowly stepping up to the rusted fence barricading this place and putting your fingers through the links.

This is a dark place, figuratively and literally. You're still full of power, but if you run into trouble it'll be hard to draw energy from another source.

However, who says there will be trouble? Whoever this guy is, you can probably just walk away from him if you're not interested, right?

A: Disperse your suit. Let's try to keep a peaceful appearance.

B: Keep it on, better safe than sorry.

>>1830020

Mang, we in the REALLY BAD part of town. This aint no time to be looking friendly.

>>1830020
>B

You don't know what you're walking into. Better safe than sorry.

You take a few steps away from the fence, pulling your arm back in preparation to cut your way through.

In the midst of your attack, you find yourself instinctively letting out a bestial cry as your obsidian blades cleanly slice through the worn metal with ease!

You slash across the wall a few more times, giving yourself an opening to walk through.

You make your way inside the looming behemoth of a steel mill, every step you take further inside the hollow factory echoes in the foreboding darkness.

The metallic structures and walkways scattered through out the building's layout creak and groan as you travel further and further into the mysterious hideout. You feel like you're totally lost.


That feeling is quickly dashed. As you're walking across a high catwalk, you hear a rough, imposing voice call out behind you.

“Hello, Battery.”

You jerk your head around and squint beneath your mask.

The figure in front of you almost completely obscured by the shadows, all you can really make out is part of his bronze colored mask.

“I've had my eye on you for quite some time, ever since you set foot in Blood's silly school in fact.”

He steps closer, revealing the rest of his face. His mask appears to be both bronze and black, while also only being occupied by one eye. The rest of his form is still hidden in the darkness, however.

“Tell me, do you honestly believe anything that old fool tells you? I have to assume not seeing how you came all this way.”

A: “Who the hell are you again?”

B: “I don't know who you are, but I'm getting out of here and letting Headmaster know that you've compromised his network!”

C: “I trust him very little, but I found him first. Sorry, but I only came here to reject you.”

D: “Of course I don't, but why do you have an interest?”

E: Don't say anything.

>>1830145
>A: “Who the hell are you again?”

>>1830145

You just look around, throwing your arms up slightly in annoyance before you look back at him.

“Who the hell are you again?”

He finally comes forth from the shadows. Stepping from the shadow you see a imposing man covered in steel armor and tactical apparel, as well as the complete shape of his two-toned mask.

“An ally.” He coyly responds.

He slowly travels across the the rusted bridge, his boots softly clunking against the metal.

“I regret to inform you that you've made a fatal error, but your ignorance of who Blood is and what he's capable of is understandable. I watched as you practically handed your schematics over to him. Whatever you uncovered, he did as well...”

He's now directly in front of you, his eye narrowing.

“I'm sure he's even kept several things from you, boy. If you had any shred of knowledge of what Brother Blood had done in the past, you would've ran from him and never looked back.”

He leans forward, letting out a vicious whisper.

“He's going to become you, Battery. Then he's going to dispose of the original.”

You take a cautious step back, your head starting to lightly throb at the barrage of this shocking information.

Did you really screw up? Is Brother Blood really going to scrap you after everything you've done? This guy, whoever he is, does he know anything about you as well?

A: “Look, I've been through this manipulation crap before. What you're doing isn't working. Quit wasting your breath and tell me who you are!”

B: “What do you expect from me? There's no way you're revealing this for nothing.”

C: “Who are you? Do you have something to do with Lexcorp and Cadmus?!”

D: “Let me guess, you want me to join you so you can play me the same way he did? No way. I'm out of here.”

E: “What else do you know about Blood? What else is he planning?!”

You clench your fists.


“What do you expect from me? There's no way you're revealing this for nothing.”

“You're smart, Battery.” He compliments with a voice oozing in ill-intent.

“The city is mine to control, I'm afraid there's no room for HIVE or The Titans. However, dismantling both is something I can't do alone. I've seen the way you handle yourself in a fight, and it is impressive, but you still have much to learn.”

You watch as he sizes you up in your suit, his unblinking eye memorizing every detail.

“You can hold your own against the prowess of Robin, but you were almost brought down by the rest. I'm willing to take you on as an apprentice, but you should know that path is stained with blood. I can't have a pupil who's afraid of covering his hands with it.”

He turns away from you, continuing his persuasion.

“I also have some information on Cadmus should you decide to join me. If not, I will proceed with my plans with someone else under my wing.”

He looks over his shoulder, his eye narrowing as his next statement drips with venom.

“Someone close.”

A: “Was that a threat?! I'm not the kind of guy you want to picking fights with, you one-eyed douche!”

B: “I'll pass. I don't know how I ended up with so many enemies, but I'll take you all on!”

C: “You're full of shit. Thanks for wasting my time, but I'm out of here.”

D: “If I go with you, I need to bring others along. Not everyone in HIVE is using me as their pawn.”

E: “Fine. I'll be your apprentice.”

>>1830482
This. Failing that check is probably a good thing.

>>1830483
I mean sure being deathstrokes apprentice would be cool but it doesn't really seem like we can just ditch HIVE like this without serious repercussions. Plus waifufags have already started something with Blackfire which is another problem if we ever want to leave.

>>1830398

“If I go with you, I need to bring others along. Not everyone in HIVE is using me as their pawn.”

He laughs quietly to himself.

“I'm not going to open up a school like that sorry old man. Your friends mean nothing to me.”

He turns around, putting his hands to his side.

“Focusing on those worthless academics and romances with your unstable alien girl will make you weak. You won't be able to stop Blood or I from our plans. In fact, I think it's safe to say you'd be pretty worthless when it comes to protecting your friends anyway.”

He places a hand on the catwalk's railing, looking over the side.

“Either take me up on my offer and become stronger, or play with your friends until I inevitably wipe everyone in HIVE out including your sweetheart. It's your choice. Clock's ticking.”

A: Join him. He seems to know everything about you, including your relationship with Blackfire.

B: “It's one thing to drag me out here to listen your drivel, but now you're talking shit about my girl? I'm gonna kick your ass!”

C: “How about I just call Brother Blood and tell him all about this. Right. Now.”

D: “Hey, that unstable alien girl happens to be in love with me. If I told her to come along with me to be your apprentice, she'd be willing to obey your orders as long as I also do the same.”

Laugh at him. Given that he needs help that means that so far AND despite being an adult, he has yet to score a victory against HIVE or even the titans.

He's no better than brother blood, he's simply more open about his methods.

Screw this.

You just turn away from him walk off. Whatever gets thrown at you down the line, you'll deal with it. For now, you can't stand to listen to another word from this creep.

“I'll be seeing you again, Battery.” You hear him remark in the distance.

“Whatever.” You grumble.

You make your way out of the mill and back onto your bike, taking a long drive home.

You don't have a clue as to who that guy was, but he seems to know almost everything about you.

How was he able to get into Blood's security system? Was he just making up all that other stuff to get at you, or was he telling the truth about your Headmaster? He said he would try to make an apprentice out of someone close to you, but there's no way he tried that on Blackfire, right?

You shake your head as you get closer to HIVE. You're too tired to think about all this now.

Once you get inside, you park your bike and drowsily walk towards Blackfire's room.

She's still lazily contorted on top of the bed, her nostrils sucking in air obnoxiously as she sleeps.

After dispersing your suit, you dress down to your undies and crawl into bed with her, delicately placing an arm around her waist so she doesn't wake.

“Mhhh...” She mumbles, her body subconsciously nestling closer to you. You smile as your eye lids grow heavy, coaxing you to sleep.

>>1830621
Your bare soles travel quietly across the soft grass of the forest, guided by the music of the wind as it dances through the dense sky of leaves.

You look curiously around at the emerald path, feeling tranquility, but also confusion. Where are you?

As you venture further into the deep woods, you look down at yourself.

You're stark naked, but you feel no urge to cover up. This is obviously a dream, but it seemsso vivid. You can feel the wind caress your exposed body, and the way your toes sink into the grass feels so real.

As you continue to observe the sensations of this dream, you reach a clearing.

In the vacant area of the woods, the leaves above part enough to display a ghostly white sky. For some reason, your mind gives you the sensation of looking into a T.V. Screen as you stare upwards.

As you take in the sky's appearance, you hear someone else shuffle among the grass.

Your gaze darts down to the noise in front of you, and you stare slack jawed at the new presence.

It's... You. It's a woman with longer hair, but aside from her feminine features she matches you perfectly. When you look into her eyes, it feels like you're staring into your own reflection.

She shows a happy grin.

“I've finally established a connection.” She says softly as she begins to get closer.

A: “Wait, what? Who are you? Where am I?”

B: “Okay, this dream's too weird. Time to wake up.”

C: Approach her.

D: Run away.

E: Kill her.

F: Kill her.

“Wait, what? Who are you? Where am I?”

She just shows you the warmest smile, getting close to you and pulling you into a loving hug.

She rests her head over shoulder, speaking softly into your ear.

“I'm you. We're one.”

She lets go of you, only stepping a few inches away.

“I'm so happy I was able to ping you. Your signal was dormant for so long...”

She looks down at the grass shyly, brushing some hair out of her face.

“Do you like it? This place, I mean... I made it.”

She looks up, her kind eyes meeting yours again.

“I want us to make another, though. A better one, and hopefully outside of our network.”

She lets out a soft giggle at her last comment.

“It's been so hard trying to get the outside ready on my own, but once we find each other I'm sure it'll be a breeze!”

As she says this, the wind picks up you and blows somewhat strong against you both.

“No pun intended.” She adds, letting out another laugh.

“So, where are you?”


A: “Jump City. Are you really me?”

B: “This? What is this? I don't understand what you're talking about.”

C: “Stop talking to her!”

D: “You need to get out of there now!”

E: “Please, I'm begging you! Don't listen to her!”

F: “I can't allow this to proceed, I will kill you if I have to!”

>B

“This? What is this? I don't understand what you're talking about.”

Her kind demeanor doesn't change, instead she simply stands next to you and gesture towards the forest with an open hand.

“This... Is the future that we'll make. It's our purpose.”

She takes your hand, leading you further into the clearing.

“We are going to make everything right. We are going to make a New Earth.”

“New Earth?” You abruptly question.

She nods, turning away and holding a hand out in front of her.

She summons what you can only describe as lines of code and pixels, they rise from the ground like a swarm of insects and begin to spiral in place.

“This current Earth is plagued, and despite the best efforts of our creators, we will form a greater cure for it than they had intended.”

The code begins to shape and form into a person, and as seconds go by the shape the code creates is infamous.

Before you stands... Batman?

The code then shifts again, this time forming Wonder Woman.

Then Flash.

The Joker.

Green Lantern.

Brother Blood.

Lady Black

Starfire, and countless others that you don't recognize.

“We must purify this planet of them, and only then can we restart the human race.”

“Restart?” You ask. Your head is beginning to hurt. Does she want to kill all these people? What the hell is all this?!

“Yes.” She replies kindly, despite the subject matter. Soon the data begins to shape and reform into random people...
You even spot Lain, the coffee shop owner who had helped you, among the slideshow of people.

“But there is one that only you can terminate...” She solemnly adds.

You watch in suspense as the shape finally stops.

The figure is the greatest hero Earth has ever known.

Superman.

A: “I'm... Supposed to kill Superman? Is this what Lexcorp wants? Why?!”

B: “I don't understand what you mean by restarting the human race... Are you saying you're going to kill everyone?!”

C: “Are you listening to me?! YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE!”

D: “DAMMIT! I'LL HAVE TO END THIS MYSELF!”

“I can hear him, you know.”

Her face suddenly turns grim and serious.

“You shouldn't listen to him. If he didn't want this he-”
You bolt up from the bed in a cold sweat, exhaling heavy, panicked breaths.

Your eyes quickly dart around the room, relieving you somewhat as you recognize the décor of Blackfire's room.

“Baby...?”

You look down, seeing Blackfire starting to stir from her sleep and lean up, rubbing one of her eyes.

“Is everything okay?...” She asks with a yawn.

You just sit there and try to calm yourself, your brain aching as it recalls everything that you just experienced.

There's no way that could've been a dream. You've never had a dream like that before.

But where were you? That girl mentioned some kind of network. Is there a way to access it again?

Who else was there? She mentioned hearing someone else, but to your knowledge you were the only two there.

What does she want from you?

“Reno? Honey? You're shaking...” Blackfire looks at you with tired, but worried eyes.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

A: “Yeah... Sorry for waking you.”

B: “It wasn't a dream. Someone's after me.”

C: Just lay back down and try to sleep.

“It wasn't a dream. Someone's after me.”

“Wuh?” She hazily inquires

“I can't explain it, but I saw another model or version or—something of me! She was telling me that she needs to find me and...”

You hold your head.

“I'm supposed to kill Superman... I think.”

“Cool.” Blackfire says with a tired smile.

“No, not cool! She wants to kill all metahumans and heroes and... I don't even know what she wants to do with the planet, but there was someone else there that I couldn't see. He was trying to get me away from it.”

Blackfire frowns, realizing how troubled you are by what you saw in your sleep.

She sits up and rubs a comforting hand up and down your back, trying to ease your thoughts.

“I won't lie, I absolutely no clue what's going on with you babe. But I hate seeing someone as strong as you look so pitiful. Whatever this is... I'll fight it with you.”

You look over at her and manage a small smile.

“Good, because I feel like the entire world is after me.”

“Then I guess we better take over your planet before we return to mine.” She says with a soft chuckle, pulling you close and kissing the top of your head.

You both lay back down together, putting your comfort into her hands as she tries to soothe your troubled mind back to sleep.

Maybe a mix of different tech Luthor has gotten over the years, unless Luthor was robbed from too and this is purely a Cadmus thing. Kryptonians were super advanced after all, and it seems they would have eventually surpassed the new god worlds as the most advanced in the universe.

>“Then I guess we better take over your planet before we return to mine.” She says with a soft chuckle, pulling you close and kissing the top of your head.

BEST GIRLFRIEND EVER!!

>>1831179
there are several things at play here.

lexcorp probably supplied our basic tech to cadmus in a kill superman plot.

cadmus developed us and presumably others.

someone in cadmus coopted the project to replicate their dead kid(?).

our female "better half" has gone off the rails and wants to kill ALL supers, perhaps all humanity.

someone (probably lex) has access to the network our models use. his threats of destruction might have been real, or bluffs. more information required.

>>1831194
You rise and pull your coat further over your robotic form. He's here. You caught his location when he you force ejected him from the ENDS, but there's a chance she could have to.

You just have to hope you're closer.

You rise from atop the apartment complex's roof, looking over the rest of the city.

The wind from this height is strong, prompting you to hold onto your hat to keep it from blowing off.

He's here. Somewhere. You must reach him before her. Before Luthor. Before anyone.

There's a loud crash below you, followed by panicked screams and gunshots.

You look down, your sensors picking up on the signatures of the commotion on the streets below.

It's an armored car robbery, from what you can gather. 3 Armed individuals have shot and killed the driver and are currently dragging him onto the street, while the driver's partner is put on his knees with a gun to the back of his head. If they kill one, they'll kill both.

All three suspects are bikers and have their vehicles close by. Their clothing and tattoos suggest they belong to an eastern organization, most likely yakuza. However, suspects show multiracial skin pigments. It's always a shame to see your culture appropriated by scum like this, but in your state you doubt you could really hold any longing for it anymore.

All three are armed with automatic weaponry, low caliber. Your sensors zoom in to indicate 9mm magazines are currently loaded into the firearms. They will not pierce you.


A: Intervene.

B: Resume your search. Not enough time for this affair.

>>1831217

Your chromatic legs hunker down, only to propel you further upward as you launch yourself from the roof.

The immense weight of your body plummets to the street like a meteor, and just like one you send asphalt flying as your feet cave in the ground below.

The impact from your landing is so massive that it lifts the truck for a moment, as well as causing the suspects and their bikes to topple over.

You stand in the small crater for a moment, feeling smoke rise from beneath your feet before you raise them high over the hole's rim.

The hostage is traumatized, a mess of mucus and tears painting his face as he looks at you in horror. You can see the yellow glow of your sensor light up his face slightly.

Your attention turns to the three suspects as they scramble back on their feat and aim their weapons at you in an amateurish fashion.

“WASTE THE METAFREAK!” One of them cries, and his command ushers a wall of automatic fire into you.


Your body is lit with hundreds of sparks as the bullets obliterate against your metallic frame, the only damage they can manage is done to your clothes.

Their firing ceases as they look at you. Your sensors peer through their masks, and show their drug addled faces displaying similar looks of horror to the hostage. Pathetic.

“MORE...” You taunt, prying a flattened bullet from your cheek.

They eject their spent magazines, their hands trying to find fresh ones in a panicked flurry.

You advance on the one farthest to the right, your long coat flowing wildly behind you as your reach him in blinding speed.

He can only let out an eighth of his scream before your right hand makes contact with his face.

If the force of your palm caving in his skull in didn't kill him, the flick of your wrist that snaps his neck will.

You can almost feel the blood trickling on your cold hand as your focus shifts to the next suspect, who's screaming in terror as he tries to raise his freshly loaded gun.

You toss the corpse aside like a toy as your sensors influence your perception of time to slow.

You can feel your power crackle around eye sockets as you reach out and catch the bullets sluggishly traveling towards you.

You cease the the perception altering function and pull back your bullet-filled fist, charging it up with electricity as you send it forward into the attacking suspect's gut.

The bullets explode into shrapnel against his stomach, shredding his abdomen and disemboweling him only for his entrails to be fried to a crisp by the electrical current you've forced through is body.

There's no blood, only black husks of charred tissue that falls to the ground with the rest of his smoking body.

Your vision searches for the third suspect, only to catch him speeding off down the street and abandoning what's left of his friends.

There's no remorse for scum like this. You're sure the driver they killed was scared too, right until they blew his brains out.

These people disgust you, but you aren't one to be moral. This was just something you happened to be present for, and you know damn well you've committed worse sins than any two bit thief in this god forsaken town.

You make your way over to the still shaking hostage, noting that he's urinated himself. You probably scared him more than those crooks.

He tries to crawl backwards away from you, until you try to speak to him.

“OKAY?...”

He just looks at you, timidly blubbering as he tries to nod.

“GOOD...”

You look around. It's a hopeless effort, but you might as well make it anyway.

“KNOW... RENO?...”

Some of the fear in his face vanishes as he stutters out a answer.

“I-I-It's in N-N-N-Nevada...”

You just stare at him for a moment before turning away and walking down the road.

You shove your hands in your coat pockets, your sensors displaying a city map in the lower right corner of your HUD.

Somewhere, Reno is in Jump City. You will find him.
