“This is our next employer, Black Mask.” Jinx tells you while scrolling down the screen, showing more information about your next task.

“We've worked with him before, but those were heist jobs. This time he's wanting protection.”

“Protection?” You ask, looking closely at the screen.

Jinx nods.

“Yeah. Not sure from what, though. He should fill us in once we get there.”

“He's damn ugly...” You quietly remark.

Judging from the information you see on the screen, Black Mask is a big name in Gotham's underworld, with countless infamous operations attached to his dossier.

“Hey, keep that stuff to yourself when we're over there. The guy's got an ill temper.” Jinx scolds, putting the device away.

“Anyway, we can leave for Gotham whenever you're ready, but we have to be there by tomorrow night.”

A: “I got some things I have to take care of, but I'll make it.

B: “Why wait? I can start heading there now.”

C: “Tomorrow? Sorry, but I got too much to deal with right now. Can I get someone else to take my place on this?”

D: “Wait, do you think we'll run into Batman or something? There's no way we can take him, right?”

E: “What's he like? The guy we're working for, I mean.”

“What's he like? The guy we're working for, I mean.”

“Hmm...” Jinx hums, closing an eye and looking towards the ceiling as she tries to find the right words to describe Black Mask.

“Well, he's par for the course as Gotham city goes. Criminally insane, murderous, kind of a dick...”

She snaps a finger as her sentence finishes trailing off.

“But he's smart. Reeeal smart. Like, the guy leads his syndicate like a general. Despite being on the Bat's radar so often, he's pretty good at slipping operations by him most of the time.”

Jinx sighs, showing you a half frown.

“Look, I'm serious about the temper thing. He killed one of his men in front of us once, and all the poor guy did was sneeze near him. I don't want you doing anything that'll piss him off. Not everyone on this team can take a bullet.”

You nod.

“Don't worry about me. I'm ready to start heading that way if you guys are.”

“Good, I'll let the others kn-”

Jinx is interrupted by the squeakiest, nasally voice to ever leave another person's mouth. Just the annunciations of his words are enough to grate your eardrums.

“Who's this crud-bucket?!”

Your head slowly turns to what appears to be a small child with cancer.

At least, you get that impression from his height and the gleam coming off his bald head.

He's incredibly short and dressed in a dark green jumpsuit, along with a pair of goggles resting above his brow.

“Gizmo, this is Battery...” Jinx awkwardly introduces you to the grumpy midget standing in front of you both.

Gizmo just scowls at you and folds his tiny arms.

“That's a stupid name. At least it fits your stupid face, stupid!” Gizmo spits at you.

A: Punt him.

B: Don't punt him, he's their friend. Just go to your bike.
C: “Gizmo sounds pretty stupid. They should call you SHORT-Circuit... Y'know, because you're short.”

D: “Sup Gizmo. Don't worry, I'm not sticking around on the team for long, just til Red X is better.

You smirk at the little gremlin.

“Gizmo sounds pretty stupid. They should call you SHORT-Circuit."

The rude midget just grits his teeth and growls at you, while Jinx does her best to stifle a laugh.

“H-Hehh-Hey guys, break it up. We don't need to be fighting right before a mission.” She manages to say through regained composure.

“Alright, I guess we'll see you with Blackfire in Gotham. I'll send you coordinates on where to meet us.”

“Yeah, see ya BARF BRAIN!” Gizmo spits as you stand from the sofa.

You just shake your head and leave the lounge, calling Blackfire up on your communicator.

Over the device, you hear tired groaning and the shuffling of sheets before the seductive voice of your alien lover.

“Mmm, hey baby. I had to go back to my room and sleep off all that punishment you gave me.”

You smile to yourself, feeling somewhat proud of that.

“Yeah, well, I need you to get dressed and meet me in the garage. We got a mission with the FIVE.”

“Finally. I've been waiting to officially cause some chaos.” She muses.

A: “Me too. I hope we run into Batman or something.”

B: “I don't think it'll be anything like that. We're supposed to just be doing some protection work.”

“Don't go looking for it. The guy we're doing this for doesn't have a lot of patience.”

“Oh, and what will he do if I feel bored?” Blackfire idly taunts.

“Babe, seriously, Jinx made this guy out to be a real prick. I don't want to make the Five look incompetent.” You try to warn her.

“Please. They ARE incompetent as far as I'm concerned.” She scoffs.

“You also act like this weakling we're about to protect could do anything to stop me. Perhaps I should demonstrate what I'm capable of once we're there...”

“What? What're you talking about?” You ask, somewhat worried.

“Oh, nothing. I'll see you soon~” She says sweetly as she hangs up.

You're starting to get a bad feeling about this.

After a short wait in the vehicle bay, you're soon joined by Blackfire hovering deftly towards you and pulling you into a warm embrace.

She presses a kind kiss to your lips, sliding her hands down your arms as she parts from you.

“So, where are we headed?” She asks, smiling up at you.

“Gotham. You ever been?” You ask.

“No. Have you?”

QUEST DROPPED

>>1914611
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF2y31Kt8KE

Your skeletal bike speeds into the black heart of Gotham city, the dark towers that reach the hellish skies over the city looming over you as you drive past them.

You've never been here, but you're well versed in the infamy the city. This place is home to some of the most notorious criminals on the Earth, and the most terrifying hero to ever exist:

Batman.

The thought of him irks you, not because of what's known, but rather what isn't known.

In fact, the closest you've gotten to him was that small scuffle with Robin, and he almost came out on top. Imagine what the real deal could do to you.

You don't know if the idea of fighting Batman excites you or frightens you, but either way you're hoping that you don't run into him.

“Hey, the meeting spot's just ahead,” Blackfire chimes in over the roaring engine, leaning closer to your ear.

“Make a right into the alley there!”

Blackfire points ahead to a passage way next to a condemned shop, the entrance currently occupied by a homeless man nesting in some newspapers.

You nod, slowing as you reach the destination and parking your bike along the side walk.

As you both depart from the bike, you look down to see the sad eyes of the homeless man gaze up from you from his tangled mess of unkempt hair, his skin dark with black stains and dirt.

A: “Hey old timer. Watch the bike for me, alright?”

B: “Beat it.”

C: “Here, let me see if I got any change...”

D: Ignore him, you got a job to focus on.

You frown at him. It wasn't too long ago that you were in the same spot as him.

“Here, let me see if I got any change...”

You rummage through your wallet and you're surprised to find that you have a twenty-dollar bill!

Thinking back, this was probably the money you meant to spend on gas during the night you discovered your powers.

You try to hand it over the bum, but he doesn't reach up for it. He just keeps that sorrowful look as he lays there.

Sighing, you decide to just leave the bill at his side.

Turning to face the alley way, you and Blackfire walk alongside each other and head down it.

“You know he's just going to spend that on booze, right?” Blackfire remarks at your gesture.

“Yeah, and I can't blame him.” You say with a shrug.

She just chuckles as you both make your way deeper into the desolate pathway, making out the shapes of the rest of your team ahead of you.

Jinx is currently sat atop a trash can, her legs idly kicking back and forth as her cheeks rest in her palms. She looks bored out of her mind, but her head perks up once she sees you two.

Gizmo is seen tinkering with his backpack, revealing to you that it's some type of mechanical device as ligaments and devices spring and twitch from it.

The larger of the trio just leans against the wall, letting out a huff through his nose at your presence.

“Come on, we need to hurry inside.” Jinx ushers, motioning you both to get closer as she hops off the trash can.

You and Blackfire feel puzzled for a moment, but it quickly vanishes as Jinx presses a hand into one of the bricks cemented into the alley walls.

The sound of gears and mechanisms whirring can be heard as a square frame of the wall sinks and begins to raise, revealing a hidden passage.

The larger of the team moves in first, his orange head of hair having to duck as he tries to fit himself in.

Gizmo waddles alongside Jinx, with you and Blackfire following closely behind.

The contents inside are obscured the lack of light, and the only source of one seems to lurk behind another door.

The large one knocks on it, his massive fist booming against the armored passage.

A peephole cover slides open, and a set of eyes peer up at him.

“Oh, Mammoth. Boss'll be with you guys in a minute. Make yourselves comfortable.”

[TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT POST]

>>1914904
The door opens to reveal a bar of some kind.

The place is crawling with men in sleazy suits, and you can only assume they're working with Black Mask.

Your teams enters and marvels at the content of the hideout. For an illegal establishment, it looks really nice. The wealth of your employer is seen in every piece of furnishing and décor found in this place.

Your team splits off somewhat as you all enter. Mammoth separates from the others and finds himself a seat at the bar, while Blackfire and the others find a booth to sit in.

It might be a good idea to sit with this Mammoth guy and get to know him. He can't be worse than Gizmo right?

Then again, you could try to get to know Jinx and Gizmo better while having Blackfire at your side. It might give you some time to plan, too.


Or you could always find your own seat at the bar and have a moment to yourself. Maybe you could try giving Cheshire a call and see what's happened on her end.

A: Sit with Mammoth. See what he's like.

B: Sit with the others and hang out.

You decide that it's time to get to know more about Mammoth than just his name.

As you take a spot next to Mammoth, you take note of the can of Australian beer clenched in one of his massive hands. His grip on the ice cold drink seems to become tighter as you approach.

“So, Mammoth...” You start, doing your best to converse with the quiet giant.

“We haven't been properly introduced, but I've seen you around a lot. I'm-”

“Quiet, Battery. I know who you are and what you're trying to do.” He cuts you off with a deep, yet clear voice.

He turns to stare you down, another huff coming from his wide nostrils.

“You think it'd be so simple to lay me out and take my spot because you beat X, right? Well, maybe so, but I'll be damned if I make it easy!” His voice booms as he leans in, his face in an angry grimace.

“I'm gonna hit ya for every copy Billy could make of himself after you put your girlfriend on here, and that's... A lot!”

A: “Good. I hope you're a better fight than X was.”

B: “Woah, take it easy big guy. I don't care about getting on HIVE Five, I just wanted to fight Red X.”

You hold up a hand in an attempt to settle him down.

“Woah, take it easy big guy. I don't care about getting on HIVE Five, I just wanted to fight Red X.”

He snorts angrily.

“Yeah, you fought the school's head honcho just because you thought it would be fun?!”

“... Yes, and it was very enjoyable.”


“... Oh.”

His shoulders slump as he turns to face the bar again, frowning down at his drink.


“Uh, sorry, I guess... I was just worried or something.”

“What for?” You ask curiously.

“It's... Look, I'm not the brightest, but I get it. I'm the strong guy, Gizmo is the brains, Jinx is the hot girl, Blackfire is now the other hot girl, and Red X is the leader. I know my place, and since you seem to be stronger I was worried that you would... You know.” He admits, taking a sad sip from his drink.

You roll your eyes and give him a friendly jab on the shoulder.

“Hey, come on! Where's the guy who was threatening me earlier? You can't just promise kick the shit out of me and then crap out like this.”

Mammoth faces you again, showing a half-smile.

“Heh, you really like getting your teeth kicked in huh? I guess I'll make some time to pound that stupid face of yours once this is over.”

You grin. That's what you like to hear!

You're about to keep up the conversation, but you feel Blackfire's hand touch your shoulder, causing you to turn to her.

“Hey, Black Mask is ready to see us.” She informs you, nodding towards a door Jinx and Gizmo are currently entering.

“Let's get this done.” Mammoth says as he leaves the bar, leaving you and Blackfire to follow after him.

The three of you enter a ornate backroom office with security goons posted on opposite corners, their eyes glaring at you sharply as you stand with the rest of your team.

Across from the five of you stands the man who brought you all here, currently hovering over his mahogany desk as he pours himself a glass of scotch.

He raises the glass past his white pin-striped suit and up to his obsidian lips, quietly drinking as he skeletal face sizes you all up.

The horrid face of Black Mask scrunches up at the sight of Blackfire and you, his lower jaw slowly opening as he faces Jinx.

“Where's uh...” His raspy voice begins, snapping his fingers as he tries to figure out the rest of his question.

“Bill... Billy Bob and X-man? Where are those two?”

Jinx just swallows.

“Billy was replaced by Blackfire, and with her is Battery subbing in for... X-man.”

Black Mask rubs his hideous chin as he looks at you with uncertainty, setting his drink down.

“Battery, huh...” His voice scrapes against his throat as he repeats your name to himself.

“What can you do, kid?”

A: “HENSHIN!”

B: “Whatever you need me to do, sir.”

C: “I sap electricity and then hit people really hard.”

You shrug.

“I sap electricity and then hit people really hard.”

Black Mask just looks at you stone faced.

“So, what, you're Mammoth with an extra step?”

You furrow your brow.

“I-”

Black Mask just holds up a hand and shakes his head to cut you off, bringing his attention to Blackfire.

“What about you, doll? What can you do?” He asks her.

Blackfire looks at you for a moment, then back to Black Mask as an evil smirk spreads across her face.

“I can kill you and your men with one hand, but I won't if you apologize to Battery for disrespecting him.”

Your eyes grow wide with disbelief at Blackfire's words, while Jinx and the rest of your team just gape at her.

Across from you, Black Mask's face doesn't show a change of emotion. He keeps his eyes focused on the cocky alien.

“Wow. Those words went through your head, and you actually thought it was a good idea to say them out loud.” Black Mask comments dryly.

Blackfire keeps her composure, the seriousness behind her demand being reinforced by the purple flame rising from her eyes.

“Your life is currently worth four words: I am sorry, Battery. I suggest you cash them in if you don't want to be a pile of ash.” She says, her words dripping with violent intent.

A: “Blackfire, stand down! We're not doing this job for me, we're doing it for HIVE!”

I mean, it's /just/ Black Mask. Not that he's not a big villain, but he's not the Penguin as far as mobster villains go.

I'm more worried about how Brother Blood will take Blackfire icing a contract and how Batman will take the murder of one of his Rogue's Gallery.

Hes gonna pull out an anti tank rifle and shoot blackfire after our speech.

oopsie aside, should make smacking him down before the job fun.

Well since we stuck our dick in crazy we gotta own up to it. Time to murder everyone forever.

>>1915445
That'd just piss her off and get him dead.

Well boys, it seems we won't be getting paid on account of our boss's head being removed.

Meh i'm fine with it, the guy was a dick.

>>1915445
It looks like our waifu just lost her laifu.....
I have a feeling if he does anything Battery may take this very... very badly...

Umm... how stable is Gotham's power grid again? Isn't Gotham like the size of Philadelphia or Brooklyn or something? Apparently it is said to be roughly the size of New York City which is 469 square miles.

Imagine the power plants fueling that... if Battery has a limit to his capacity, it looks like we may be about to find out soon when Blackmask tries to merc Blackfire. Wonder how pissed Batman will be with the rolling blackouts as we fight some super-guard through the streets of the city.

>>1915473
Gotham is Chicago

>>1915473
>if Battery has a limit to his capacity,

Yes he does when we figthed the titans and be able to absorv Cyborgs power we need to empty our charge.

>>1915344
“Hehhehehe... Hahaha... HAAHAHAHA!”

You roar with laughter in the face of Black Mask, causing the looks of concern on Jinx and the rest of her team's faces grow worse.

Blackfire's smile only gets bigger.


Black Mask, however, is still calm.

“You want to tell me what's so funny about all this?” He gruffly asks, folding his arms with his hands tucked into his blazer.

You cease your laughing.

“She's Tamaranean. Big tempers, strong enough to pick up a vehicle and hit you with it, tough enough that anything short of ant-tank weapons will basically be useless, flies, shoots energy bolts... And you insulted her boyfriend. That said, I don't blame you. You've not seen me fight, or seen me fight all the titans, break one's nose, take down another and escape the remaining four without a scratch.”

Black Mask just slowly nods, staring daggers at you both.

“Wow,” His rough voice beings to cut through the silence.

“You both sound pretty tough. I bet I'd need more than a bullet to take both of you out... But one should be good enough for him.”

As Black Mask finishes his sentence, one of the hands tucked in his blazer quickly whips out a nickel plated handgun and fires it.

There's a flash and a loud crack from the gun firing, and seconds after the short sized and short tempered boy you just met hours ago jerks his head back, falling to the floor dead.

Seconds after Gizmo's death, the guards posted at the corners of the room are on you and Jinx with handguns at the back of your heads!

Mammoth roars and sobs with primal fury at Black Mask, his mouth frothing as his desire to rush over and rip him to shreds. He would happily do so if another of his friends was not already at risk.

“NO!!!!!!” Jinx screams, nearly collapsing at the sight of her murdered friend. Her hands begin to flicker with some purple energy, which prompts Black Mask to yell over the ensuing commotion.

“YOU TRY ANY OF THAT VODOO SHIT AND YOU'RE NEXT, KITTY! SAME GOES FOR YOU, BIG BOY!” He coarsely barks at the weeping girl and raging beast.

He soon turns his gaze to Blackfire to yell at her too, but a look of shock appears on his face instead.

She now has a hand raised to him, a fiery energy beginning to envelope it.

And she's still smiling.

Best girl.

Also look we just opened a spot un the HIVE FIVE. Oh boy that was her plan all along. Hahahahaha

>>1915482
I figured that is what a lot of people say, they also say New York and then there are arguments that Gotham is actually in New Jersey because in some verses it is Metropolis's sister city. Personally I never saw it being near Metropolis so I will go with Chicago.... which sucks even more because Illinois has six nuclear power plants with a total of 11 reactors according to google and Chicago consumed 60,000 Gigawatt hours of energy last year. With some rough math that gives Battery access to roughly 2 Megawatt hrs per second going solely off of consumption rates which likely is not the maximum capacity. By national average that is enough to power all electrical appliances in roughly 328 homes for one hour is running through there every second or roughly the power that can be created by 20 average automobile engines. If we take the average car having between 120-200hp and take the median 160hp that then means that if he tapped the electrical grid of a Chicago analogue city, Battery would have the equivalent of 2320 HP worth of car engines flowing through him every second. I assume he is more efficient as well than a soccer mom's SUV .... guys... this could be AWESOME!

“Woman are you stupid?!” Black Mask shouts.

“I just killed your friend, and you're still pulling this tough girl act? Do I need to kill your gal-pal too?!”

“Respect for my lover matters more than their lives. They're mere stepping stones on our path to greatness.” Blackfire says in a vile tone.

“YOU BITCH!” Jinx shrieks at her, tears still running down her face.

Your brain feels like it's being twisted in knots. Your girlfriend just got someone killed, and if you don't act fast more could die!

Now Blackmask

Hell we are probably downing more villains than the average hero. Too bad I am pretty sure we bricked Cyborg and turned him into a permanent paperweight, well technically Robin did but we all know that Mr. Can't-seal-the-deal-with-the-sluttiest-member-of-the-sluttiest-species-on-his-team won't take the blame for what he did and will pin it on us.

More like, if we don't act fast some might not die :)

Okay, so, if we waste Mask and his goons, how's this for a story we feed to Blood?
Gizmo ran his mouth at the wrong moment and got himself killed (and maybe others if this goes totally pear-shaped), things escalated, everyone died, and we ran back to HIVE.

>>1915607
nbody would collaborate and everyone is probably pissed at us right now.

>>1915607
just gotta spin it.
Let all the villains know so they don't fuck with us, fuckers need to know we're not just mooks they can merc like we're low level goons.
also loot as much shit as we can to make up for the contract loss.
Jynx is there so gizmos probably not gonna die.
