Clash of Realms
CHP53: Her Name is Audrey

She'd just stepped away from the monitors inside the maintenance room when her JLA communications device sounded. Before answering the call the amazon took one final look at the monitors and confirming there were no disturbances before answering the call. She expected to see a teammate on the other end of the holographic screen but instead it was someone else.
"Hello miss Prince," the older gentleman greeted on the other end.
Almost right away she recognized him as the Batman's butler, but why was he calling? Had something happened to Bruce?
"I'm sorry for the disturbance, but I had no other way of reaching you all, seeing as Master Wayne is currently out."
"There isn't a problem, is there?" Diana inquired.
"On the contrary. I have someone here that wishes to meet."
Alfred stepped aside somewhat as the harbinger came into view and his cane in hand as he propelled himself forward.
"Greetings, Princess Diana," he spoke with a straightened posture and both hands overlapped atop each other over the cane. "There is much I wish to speak about with you and your team. Events which have recently been unfolding in the realm in which I rule. Surely you understand where these conversations will touch on."
The amazon was with a nod.
"And you wish to gather at the earliest convenience, I assume?" Diana inquired.
"If possible, yes. Complications such as this aren't something that should be taken lightly, for I fear that soon damages may fall upon both worlds that could not otherwise be repaired in the near future."
Breathing in and with her back against a nearby wall, Wonder Woman felt exactly as he did.
"Take hold of the communicator and you shall be transported to our docking bay. I'll make an effort to reach out to any available members that aren't otherwise occupied, and see if we can't make this happen."
"That is all I ask," Apollo smiled.
Alfred handed the small device over to Apollo and the harbinger thanked him for his generosity and beyond exceptional hospitality.
"It has been quite the pleasure visiting with you here today, and I do hope there are more of these. Such a great outlook and perspective you have on said subjects. And I thank you for your generosity and hospitality here today, I shall not soon forget it."
Alfred didn't know how to respond to the words of appreciation and so just nodded his head. The witch also expressed her thankfulness before siding with Apollo and locking arms with the emperor.
"Ready?" Wonder Woman asked from the other end.
"Yes?" Apollo replied.
Putting some space between himself, the harbinger and witch, Alfred made certain he wasn't caught in the flash of light watching as the two were zapped away. And just like that, together the two stood over the docking bay; Ruby's eyes looking all around as she broke away from Apollo. She was also the first off the platform as she made her way down the steps.
"Welcome to the watchtower," Diana appeared through the automatic doors, not far from Ruby's position. "Come with me and I'll show you to the board room where you can wait, while I make contact with the others."
Apollo too stepped down from the platform and trailed behind Ruby as they followed Wonder Woman. The harbinger took in the construct and overall surroundings as they passed down the hall.
"What do you think?" Diana took notice of his wondering eyes.
His gaze looked to his right and out a window that just so happened to be looking over the earth.
"It's magnificent," Apollo smirked.

A woman walked through the double doors of the office building, a weird feeling coming over her. She had no real reason to be here, to be doing this, except opportunity and just wanted to see him. She was surprised how packed the building was, especially at a time like now. How Bruce had pulled this off—and apparently still continued to—astounded her. Money and a superior intellect went a long damn way, she figured. But the way in which he did it, one thing through the day and a vigilante crime fighter after sundown. She's dove into his mind once or twice, but that bit never ceased to amaze her. How Wayne found the patience to be here astounded her as well, knowing where his mind and motivations really were. How often did he come to the office and not distracted? How did he fool people into thinking he was who he said he was, for so many years? After so many years of lies and keeping secrets, he should have grown tired of it.
She stepped out of the elevator and walked straight to the front desk. The woman seated there wasn't the same woman she'd met a few weeks earlier and one piece fell into place: Bruce likely transferred the secretaries regularly before they could get curious about his investments or anything else that might have appeared out of the norm.
"Hi, uh, is Mister Wayne in?"
"Do you have an appointment?" the woman asked pleasantly.
Morrigan's eyes flashed bright as she made eye contact and the woman put in a trance.
"No, but I'm hoping you could make an exception."
There was no hesitation from the secretary who immediately looked to her computer screen and began typing away.
"I'll let him know you're here."
"Thank you, dear."
She almost halfway didn't expect him to actually be in? Then the thought struck her that it might not even be him in. Maybe Bruce had someone else in his office. What the hell would she say to this person if that was the case? No, that was absurd. Wasn't it? Maybe this hadn't been the brightest idea after all and she started to think that maybe she should have called first.
"Mr. Wayne? You have a visitor."
The secretary hung up the phone and directed her to a chair in the small waiting area. Morrigan sat and looked at herself in a handheld mirror. She was disguised with blonde hair and grayish colored eyes and dressed casually. It had been a few days since they'd really spent any time together and if even for just a few minutes.
He closed out a case file he was working and another offer from a neighboring water company on his work-issued computer, frowning as he took a moment to think. No one ever came to visit him unless with a scheduled meeting, for obvious reasons. It was a standard which was known by everyone. When he was busy and locked up in his work he had all the excuses in the world to accept or not accept a meet. Typically the case, he was out of the country on business. Which is what his secretary would relay. Someone from the police department, he assumed. Before he let the worry that his assistant had uncharacteristically missed something fully form, he checked his phone's tracker. Instead of anxiety, warmth flooded through him at realizing who was near, but he immediately wondered why. How the hell did she convince the front desk? If she knew he was there, why didn't she let him know she was coming? He caught himself with that one. He dropped in on her without warning all the time, didn't he? Guess it was the other way around this time.
Bruce unconsciously straightened his tie as he rose from his desk, opening his office door and walked down the hall to the receptionist's desk. Morrigan looked up as she sensed someone's impending arrival. A huge wave of relief washed over her as the billionaire CEO approached her. But the always present swagger in his walk and the addition of a tie to his usual suit ensemble threw her off balance. This whole charade….it was weird and she found herself struggling to reconcile him as his alias in this office setting.
Since she was the only one sitting there waiting, she watched as he walked directly to her and held out his hand, introducing himself. And playing along Morrigan also introduced herself, but with a different name. And she shook his proffered hand.
"Yes. Professor Sydia," he responded with the name given and held a twinkle in his eye as he stared at her and she felt a tiny flutter in her belly that wasn't a stranger but was always unwelcome when it came by. "My office is down the hall."
He nodded his head in the direction of his office and led the way, smirking to himself as he walked. She had dropped in on him yet she looked a little caught off guard. Her handshake was weak, as well. He'd never had to shake her hand before but he knew she had a firm one. And soft hands…..
Bruce stopped just beside the entrance and allowed her to enter first, suddenly excited about how she was going to play this and what she wanted. Entering behind her, he closed the office door and walked to the center of the room, watching as she cased the place.
"Do you need some help with your investments, Sydia?" he quietly chuckled, looking to roleplay somewhat.
The succubus continued walking the perimeter of the room, taking in the spectacular view she had been too preoccupied to appreciate the last and only time she'd been here.
"Nice view," she looked out a nearby window and turned to look at him. "You must be good at your job."
"Why are you here, Morrigan?"
There wasn't the slightest bit of irritation in the question. He was clearly in a good mood and glad to see her. He was just genuinely curious.
"You used your charm ability to make your way up here, naughty. You happen to catch me at a good time. I was in the office a short while ago, but left to look up on something. Apparently there was an intruder last night and…"
"Shush," Morrigan moved on him and a finger placed over his lips to silence him. "We'll talk later, an idea just come to mind."
Moving up in front of him, but with her backside facing him, Morrigan reached back and taking hold of his hands. She looked back at him over her shoulder and winked, just before circling her backside up against him and getting a quiet grunt from him.
"Let's have a little fun time, don't you think? Akasha has kept you tamed, but it's about time you had another taste of glory and realize which of us is the better lover," she wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him down. "Particularly in the physical department."
She smiled while giving him a peck on the lips and then went for his desk. In a few clicks she closed out the system with on his computer with a sigh. And with that the security cameras within the room were shut off and how she knew how to do that, he had no idea but was impressed nonetheless. She leaned over his desk and waving her backside in a taunting manner. Bruce walked towards her with slow steps, reaching out and grabbing her by the waist, both hands on either side, holding her in place.
"We really shouldn't, but if it's quick…" he leaned forward and whispering into her ear.
He held her there, positioned between his legs as he sat on his desk, feeling the heat from her small frame seep into his fingers.
Feeling his strong hands on her waist shocked her more than it should have and she focused on relaxing her body and thought about how she would need to keep quiet so not to have someone walk in on them. How the way he was looking at her and how close they were and how charged the air suddenly felt affected them both. Her fingers itched to reach out then, to touch him as he did the same back. His face, his shoulders, his chest. Somewhere, anywhere. But she had just enough restraint left that she didn't. The power of surrender was still too mighty for her to take on.
His thumbs moved, drawing small, light circles on her waist. There was much to love about her. It wasn't just that she was sexy, with curves, it was that she understood him, knew what he was about the moment she'd taken a dive inward, and he'd understood and known her over time. And right now, being in this small, private space with her, being this close ….work aside, no danger. Just letting his heart rest easy in her hands…he felt good. Bruce felt less closed off. He felt free. Leaning down he kissed at her lips.
The uncertainty, the sweetness of the moment was no match for the flame that took over almost immediately. Oft denied urges had a way of torpedoing patience and finesse. Bruce cupped her face with strong hands, the slip slide of their tongues sending rapid fire jolts straight to his groin. He walked her backward until his body pinned hers to the wall. This was real, though, he thought. Very real. Then, when he could no longer distinguish his passion from hers, he forgot where he was, what time of the day it was, what the world was like before his mouth finally met hers.
Morrigan ran her hands up and down his chest and sides under his suit jacket. She felt powerless under his onslaught. His focus, the sheer size of him as he pressed into her excited her more than she would ever care to admit. She didn't protest when his hands pulled her shirt out of her skirt, nor when they forced the shirt apart instead of taking the buttons one by one. Instead, she held his head to her breasts after he quickly discovered her bra's front clasp and freed them. Both nipples wet from his attention, her tongue welcomed his back after its brief excursion and her fingers buried into hair.
Feeling constricted and starting to sweat, Bruce brought his hands up to his neck, making quick work of loosening and disposing of his tie. He smiled against her mouth as she followed his lead, her slim fingers rushing to unbutton his shirt. Taking his suit jacket off and letting it fall to the floor, he pulled away from her for only a few seconds, looking at her moist, parted lips. Her open suit jacket, open button down shirt. Unfastened bra, perfectly round breasts and taut nipples. Already as aroused as he was going to get, he interrupted her work with his shirt to lift her up, turning to set her on his desk off to the side of his computer. His mouth found his way back to hers while he used his thumbs to circle her nipples.
Starting for his shirt again, Morrigan felt her need for him peak and changed her course. Soon his pants and underwear were dropped passed his knees and she was lifting her backside so that he could do the same with hers. Her nakedness over the surface of his desk, knowing her wetness was smudging over such a spot, made her suddenly hyper-aware of where they were doing this. Then there was also the fact that she could see the entirety of Gotham's skyline from her vantage point and anybody could walk in at any second. But he suddenly dropped into his chair, removed her shoes along with the clothing that had tangled around her ankles, and she forgot again.
"Bruce..." Her head lolled. Her ears were ringing so loudly it sounded like the din of an oncoming train.
They'd done this many times before but she just could not believe how incredible it felt this time around.
Even though he probably could have stayed down there forever, tasting her and pleasuring the both of them, the one thing Bruce always knew he would never have enough of was time. He swayed his tongue around her clit one last time before he lifted his head and took another moment to study her. She was wide open to him—literally—and panting. Entirely too sexy for him to handle with any kind of restraint. He stood up quickly, leaning over her body to kiss her while he finally claimed his prize.
An entirely involuntary cry left Morrigan's lips seconds later because she was so stimulated that she came the moment he filled her. It caught her off guard and she could only remember it happening one other time. She shook from head to toe, clutching his shoulders rhythmically as she waited for her teeth to stop prattling. She buried her face in his neck, feeling the roiling tension within him as he stilled and waited for her.
When she stopped convulsing around him, he moved inside her. But he showed her no mercy and started things off at a fast pace. He savored it. Her face buried in his neck, her arms around him, the feel of her tightly enveloping his thrusts in slippery warmth. Then she lifted her head and looked into his eyes and the tenderness left him. His pace quickened even more, settling somewhere just shy of frenzy.
The power behind his thrusts sent her back onto her elbows and then flat on her back. He held onto her hips so she knew she wouldn't be propelled from the desk, but she was about to leave him, about to come again, and she grasped the edge of the desk above her head to try to steady herself before he drove her headfirst off the cliff and into a bottomless abyss.
Bruce held onto her, this angel of no mercy, as waves of pleasure sustained his body and Morrigan transfixed his mind. He could tell she was enjoying herself greatly, locked in her own pleasurable madness, her body writhing, her mouth open, her eyes screwed shut, her breasts bouncing up and down as he sheathed himself inside her over and over. He shifted his hold from her hips to those hypnotizing breasts, leaning down to kiss the spot just below her breast bone before licking his way to one nipple and then the other.
Like what she knew was about to happen, that indescribable ecstasy slammed into her like a boulder and her body shuddered to a halt. But then Bruce surprised her, maybe even himself, too, and got knocked down with her, releasing a roar she never would have expected out of him. It was like a massive wave passing by unexpectedly over the smaller ones, and brought her awareness back to their surroundings as she laid there cradling his head to her chest. She turned toward the door, panic starting to creep in, the fear of being caught like this superseding any awkwardness that tried to come out to play.
"Bruce, hun," she turned her head back, trying to look into his face. "We need to get up. It wouldn't look good for Wayne Industry's CEO to be screwing one of his appointments on the clock."
He wasn't responding as urgently as she wanted him to so she lowered her hands to his sides, gripping him tightly to get his attention. He could sit here half naked as long as he wanted, but her ass was getting dressed.
He lifted his head lazily, still breathless.
"Since when were you the type to worry? And I can assure you they wouldn't be able to see a thing from outside the door."
She turned towards the door again as if she didn't believe him. Her voice came out in a harsh whisper.
"What if somebody saw something? That doesn't bother you in the least?" the glass around his doorframe was frosted, but she was positive his co-workers still could have seen the silhouettes of two people making love on the desk. She looked around for a clock on the wall.
"I've been on the other end plenty, you can't see anything."
It irritated her that he was unbothered but his calm rubbed off on her. Usually in such a situation it would have been the other way around, and she was really only worried for his sake. She looked back at the door again. He was right. His desk was on the far left side of the room, not in view of anyone that attempted to get a peek.
She turned back to him and watched as he stood, taking hold of her hands to bring her to a seated position. She watched as his eyes dropped to her chest and he ran his left index finger over her right nipple as if bidding it farewell before reaching inside her shirt to fasten her bra and then button her blouse. He then pulled up his underwear and pants, buckling up. That feeling, the one of being taken care of that he always made her feel even when she wanted to wring his neck, covered her like a blanket and her emotions started to get the best of her. But then his entire demeanor seemed to have changed in the snap of a finger, his blaze vanishing. It was almost as if he'd seen a ghost or given the worst news of his life.
"What happened, what's wrong, hun?"
His back was turned to her as he redressed in the remainder of his clothing. She laughed as she hopped down off the desk and onto her feet. She then reached down and recovered the rest of her clothing. She stepped into her panties and pulled them up while he did the same with his pants and underwear.
"I did not come here for this, believe it or not," her fingers danced over his shoulders.
Bruce grumbled while stepping forward and out of her grasp which triggered her to worry about him. What all of a sudden had him so gloomy? Running one hand through his hair, he turned and faced her.
"This… this isn't right," he shook his head. "It doesn't feel right."
His eyes fell down upon the ground and then came dead silence.
"What isn't right, tell me?" she asked whilst taking a couple steps forward.
Her hands rested over both sides of his shoulders and his eyes still over the ground for a good while longer before eventually he did look up at her.
"This, all of it. You and… her."
Removing her hands and giving him some space she knew exactly what he was getting at without him coming out and saying it. The succubus took a deep breath before exhaling.
"You feel guilty?" she asked, not looking at him and already knowing the answer.
"It isn't fair to you or her. And it feels like I'm…"
"Just using us?" Morrigan finished his thought with a chuckle.
"Yes," Bruce nodded simply.
"Come, dear."
Reaching out and taking hold of his wrist Morrigan pulled him along and led him to his chair in front of his desk where he was forced into the seat and the succubus settling in his lap.
"Any man would take your place in a heartbeat to have myself and someone like Akasha after him without a worry, wholly content. But the fact you feel the way that you do is something you should take pride in. You have morals which you were born and raised with even if that differs vastly from others, species and monsters. What is consider the standard in one group is the opposite in another."
Bruce listened as she went on.
"Among some beasts and tribes, finding a single mate isn't the norm. In fact there are those that have multiple partners over time. Succubi and Incubus fall under this category, considering he or she doesn't find the soul mate, destined one. In the case of that they mate and reproduce for the sake of preservation of our kind. Never change for anything or anyone, not even me. Your life decisions are yours to make, including who you spend the future with."
Morrigan kissed at his forehead before standing from his lap.
"There was a little something I wanted to discuss, but I've taken up more than enough of your time. Got something to check on but I'll be in touch," she waved him off as she headed for the exit. "Maybe tonight."
She smiled at him while he did the same. Once out of the building and across the street, into a vacated alley, the ruler of Makai created a vortex which she entered through. And on the other side she reappeared into her throne room while the dimension wall closed behind her. Things seemed quiet and calm as she breathed a sigh of relief, just before passing through the doors and to somewhere specific. It was one level down and at the end of the hall, beaming as she approached the door and pushed it open.
"Hello my…" she bit down over tongue seeing as the room was empty.
Looking around for just a little while, Morrigan backed off and closing the door as she went in search for the child elsewhere. But strangely she didn't sense her energy anywhere and so she went straight for her most trusted assistants. Both were found outside the lounge, Lucien with a stack of papers in hand and Mudo not far from him talking with a council member.
"Our queen!"
The bunch of them noticed her at the same time and bowing their heads.
"Good to see you all," she crossed her arms. "You wouldn't happen to know where the little one is lurking, would you?"

He slowly walked down the hall of the watchtower while whistling to himself. And the entire way he wondered why such an abrupt meeting was called. The speedster in red wasn't one to question gatherings and so dropped what he was doing and making the trip.
"Here," he entered through the automatic doors to the conference room.
All the primary members were in place except for Aquaman, Superman and Batman. None of the secondary members were in attendance, which was expected. But in the absence of those members there were two persons in their place. The first was an individual dressed in a brown robe and the second in a black and white dress with long raven colored hair. Unlike the rest he hadn't yet seen the harbinger in person, but had heard of him from the others and knew just who this man was just by looking at him.
"The fastest man alive," Simon looked to a clock hanging over the wall. "And the last one here, assuming none of the others turn up."
"Yeah, well… I had a few stops to make along the way," Flash looked to his teammate for only a moment before his gaze fell upon the monster emperor. "Apollo, I presume?"
"Right you are, boy," the harbinger nodded.
He then looked to the woman beside him and Apollo noticing, coughed and cleared his throat.
"Excuse me, this is Ruby Tojo. She's worked closely with me for the past few weeks and has made my duties far more bearable."
"Hello," the witch waved.
"Okay, got it," the Flash took a seat in his spot. "So what's up?"
"He came to us," Diana pointed to Apollo. "He's here to talk Fairy Tale. Stop me if I'm wrong, there was a fiesta of sorts and Fairy Tale crashed the party, led by Circe."
"In short, yes. And unfortunately a handful of casualties were sustained and if something is not done soon, then we can expect that number to go up. And we'll have no one to blame but ourselves. The Nights Warriors are a formidable establishment and police much of the monster realm, but even they wouldn't have the means necessary to deal with the power and resources that Fairy Tale now possesses. And nor can I… otherwise I wouldn't be here."
"What do you want, for us to station ourselves in your world?" Simon leaned back with a chortle. "Sorry, but earth is our top priority."
The Green Lantern crossed his arms, and not a single of them got off another word before another of the missing members made his appearance through the doors.
"I see you got started without me, good," the man of steel smiled. "Had a few things that needed taking care of, but it's been taken care of. What have I missed?"
Superman sat at the head of the table and with his hands folded together over the tabletop.
"Not much. Just about started," the Flash replied.
There was an irrefutable frown upon Apollo's face which was directed at the Green Lantern, Simon.
"Most of you aren't of a monster species, so never would I permit it. While I do not agree entirely with your league's methods, I do believe you have good intentions as mentioned. But do not for a second make light of this situation, boy."
"He's right," Jessica looked to her fellow lantern. "They're going to be a problem for us all, especially if this is a reoccurrence of what happened seven years ago."
The lantern looked at Superman, recalling what he'd detailed about the encounter.
"We're from and protect different worlds, as you might believe on hindsight. And if that is what you believe than you're mistaken. I have the good of mankind and its future in mind, more than any of you could dear imagine. It is for them why I do what I do. Monsters of my realm must work out their disparities, and they've come a long way. That isn't to say there's still much work to be done. And the same can be said for humans. One day I wish for them all to live amongst each other. Repetitive, yes… but it is important that I get the point across. But that is beyond the point and reason for our gathering here today. There is much we must discuss and prepare for. Not all here, as I do wish to host you all at my estate once more."
The harbinger's eyes scrutinized mostly the Flash, and both Green Lanterns.
"As I recall none of which set foot inside, you're all invited. I wish to learn of the common threats finding its way on the doorstep of your league. Fairy Tale I'm sure has planned for much, but they can't interpret everything."
"In other words you want to be briefed, and if necessary our assist?" Superman asked.
"Precisely," Apollo responded with a nod of his head. "And that goes both ways."
Ruby was with the shake of her head and agreeing with the emperor, but that was also when she leaned and whispered something into his ear. While the others couldn't make out what was said, Superman could hear quite clearly. Apollo cleared his throat, and looking to no one in particular.
"Yes, I failed to mention this from the beginning. But one of your own was present during this latest appearance. And from what I've been told, she helped to avoid far more potential fatalities. Zatanna," the harbinger mostly looked to Diana and call. "Will she be joining us?"
Both the kryptonian and amazon princess looked to each other, sharing a similar expression and then back at Apollo.
"Zatanna was in the monster realm?" Diana questioned.
Everyone appeared genuinely surprised to hear this, and wasn't what Apollo expected at all.
"I see, so this is news to you all… interesting."

Ched Vlet stood over a balcony with two guards on either side of him, watching the two Shuzen sisters spar. The two had been at it for more than two hours it seemed, and though both were slick and gleaming with sweat, neither was willing to concede to the other. Clearly, the older of them would dominate if it was a serious bout, but in such a circumstance Kahlua was shown to hold her own against the more skilled Akua.
"She's very good, isn't she," Kiria Yoshii stepped into the picture, as Akua Fan blocked a kick from Kahlua's foot and open handed her in the stomach and knocking the breath out of her younger half-sister. She then leaped into the air and came down over Kahlua and kneeing her in the face.
Killer Frost had also been watching from not far away, grinning in approval. Even if just a friendly there was nothing like watching a good fight.
"I agree," Ched said, smiling down at the activity. Then he looked back at the duo and asked, "Her technique is phenomenal. The perfect assassin as they call her, and that is without a doubt. We've got weapons, power all over and yet… still not enough to without a question deal with the Justice League."
"They're the most powerful establishment to assemble, but if what you've got planned is a success they shall be removed from the playing field before his return," Kiria was with his hands over the railing. "The world's only hope shall vanish. How goes the search for the next shell, which team will be assigned."
"I have a team in mind, and they shall move out soon. But there is still the Three Lastiaz spheres we must get our hands on. The shells will be completely useless without them. Infiltration is what we will need most for this upcoming task. Already I've made contact with Ra's Al Ghul and his assassins. They shall lead the charge in this one in addition to both Slade Wilson and Akua Shuzen."
"Good call," Kiria approved of the arrangement.

"Hey look witch lady, think she might be in trouble," Audrey pointed out to a woman running down the block and a man running after her.
"If she is or not doesn't concern us. We do not involve ourselves in human affairs, do you understand girl? Your mother has told you this, hundreds of times I'm sure."
"I don't know, maybe. I guess," Audrey dropped down over her stomach and with her legs swaying back and forth behind her.
With her eyes dancing somewhat, the witch's gaze ultimately fell back over Audrey.
"Last night when you took off, it was only for exploration?"
"Yes, that's what I said over and over. Don't you believe me, witch lady?"
A reply did not come, and the witch having already made up her mind on the matter some time ago. The succubi was merely a child, but she wasn't about to be fooled by that, no. She was the offspring of Morrigan Aensland and a very clever one for that matter, trying to use her age to cover up her calculated actions.
"I am old, but no fool."
Audrey slowly gazed up at her but still laid out over her stomach.
"What you mean, witch lady?"
Was the child strictly oblivious or was she purposely playing stupid. Most likely the latter. The woman's screams from down the street diverted the succubi's attention as she hopped up and onto her feet.
"I'm bored, and this looks like fun!" Audrey sprouted wings as she flapped them and took a dive off the ledge.
"Audrey no, get back here!" the witch shouted.
Turning her head sideways and partially looking back, she stuck her tongue out at the witch. The succubus was faster than the witch, but that didn't stop her from trying to go after the child.
And ahead of them the woman ran through shallow water, an empty pistol in her hand. Fighting to move as the ground below the surface grabbed at her boots, threatening to keep her from going any further. She made the mistake of looking back; a massive 6'4 foot figure chasing after her with a crowbar. He came at her with sort of hop and it seemed as though the water didn't slow him down.
She fought harder against the water, making it around the broke out into a full on sprint across the street and lucky for her there wasn't any incoming traffic. There was a rundown warehouse ahead and that's exactly where she ran for. And when she got close she kicked open the door and looked around and spotted a table which she put in front of it. And afterwards she breathed out in relief. From the wear and tear, cobwebs and all the dust floating around it was clear to her, it had been quite some time since anyone had set foot in this place. With a few moments to herself and knowing the one trailing her wasn't far behind, she took the opportunity to reach into her pocket. Into her hands she grasped the last six rounds of ammunition which she carried and reloading the weapon.
And then came a loud thump which startled her as she stumbled back and fell. With a few swings of the crowbar against the door and then punching a sizeable hole through it and smiling at her roguishly through it.
"You done pissed me off," he rumbled "For that I'ma have a little fun before I kill you" he said, his awful breath filling her lungs making her gag.
She barely heard him but it sank in, he was going to rape her.
This realization gave her an extra burst of strength. Somehow, she was able to pull her arm out of his grasp as he had reached for her.
"Shifty little bitch!"
With another thump and kick, the door came flying through as she fell backwards and losing hold of her gun. With laughter he stood over her, licking at his lips while stomping over her stomach and holding her in place, applying heavy pressure.
"I hope this will be as good for you as it will for me," his grin grew larger.
He barely began to lean downward when something swooped in over him from behind and legs wrapped around his neck as he was tossed across the room.
"Sup, lady?" a child waved at the woman who immediately popped up off the ground.
How did the young girl do that, and where did she even come from?! Those were initial thoughts, but then she spotted the bat like wings stemming from out of both sides of her head and body.
"Hey mister, didn't your momma teach you never to put your hands on a lady?"
As she had been before, Audrey on the outside had taken on a different appearance. She was with light brown eyes and long red hair, tied in a ponytail.
"Good call, Cloe," the six foot brute spat at the ground as he stood. "We lured one in, just like you said we would."
"Uhm… huh?" Audrey looked him over with confused eyes.
And the whole while the succubus hadn't noticed the ominous grin over the face of the woman standing behind her. From within her jacket pocket a weapon was uncovered and aimed directly at Audrey, who turned her head just as the shot was fired. A glowing net was fired from the weapon which wrapped around the succubi and pulling her to the ground where she was immobile. For the first couple seconds she tried ripping through it and not long after was it that she felt a drop and suppression of her energy. She moaned, griped and kicked her legs while attempting to use her wings to cut through and free herself. By then the man was standing beside the woman who was known as Cloe, with an arm wrapped around her, as they laughed together.
"Wha… what is this, let me go!" Audrey shouted.
This only brought about more laughter from the duo as Cloe pulled out a small device and scanning it over the immobile child.
"Just as I thought," she looked back to her partner. "Systems have identified this one as a succubus. It's been a long while since we captured one of these, hasn't it?"
"Great," he said, just before stepping forward and taking a knee in front of Audrey. "You want to know what this is all about. Simple. A trap. And you waltzed right into it."
"I… I don't understand."
By that point Audrey's struggling had slowed, feeling her energy being sucked out of her and fatigue coming on.
"The little lady there was never in danger," he pointed back at the woman. "An act, staged."
"We're monster hunters," Cloe took one step forward. "Dark Stalker Slayers. A global organization that tracks extraordinary creatures such as yourself. Our system detected you within the vicinity and my partner here wanted to go straight for the attack, but I formulated another course of obtaining you when realizing you were merely a child. A less, hectic one."
"But why?" Audrey's wings flapped about.
"In the case of you, the highest bidder. You will be entered into an underground show, where you will be presented alongside other beasts of our world. Some of us hunters go for the kill, others do it for sport. All and all each and every one of us has our own reasons for joining the firm."
Seeing as her strength was progressively diminishing, and caught up in such a situation as this; it was the first time in a long time that Audrey had been this afraid of anything.
"Witch lady, help!" she shouted in desperation.
Both hunters drew their weapons, looking everywhere for any potential incoming assist for the captured target.
"Let's get her the hell outta here before we're greeted by any unwelcomed visitors," he said.
Cloe made a move out towards Audrey, but only to stop abruptly from a buzzing/wiggle from inside her pocket. It was a call from someone, and answered the call with her entire expression taking on a far more serious tone after just a few words were said. Audrey couldn't make out any of what was said and nor could Cloe's business partner who just stood off to the side. And until the conversation ultimately concluded and the woman sighing loudly.
"Don't tell me there's another issue at base…" he grimaced with his fists clinched.
"Nothing like that, that wasn't our advisor."
Taking two steps to the side he raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, I'll bite. Who was that?"
"You won't believe it, but a young lady that's made her way up the ranks amongst us slayers and currently sits at the number two spot," Cloe replied.
"Wait… you don't mean, Baby Bonnie Hood, do yah?! Why they hell would she be making contact with the likes of us?"
"That's right and that isn't even the strangest part, she's here… in Gotham."
"What, why?!"
Cloe didn't have the opportunity to reply as a side window off to their left and upward towards the ceiling smashed through. The hunter duo hunched over to avoid any potential glass coming down over their faces, and a loud thump as a tall figure touched down just a few feet from where they stood.
"Holy hell, isn't that…"
"The Batman!" Cloe finished for him. "Looks that way."
There was a buzz from her opposite device which Cloe lifted upward and aimed directly at the caped crusader.
"Like the girl, he's giving off an immense energy signature, which means…"
"No shit he's a monster, but what the hell should we even do? He's connected to the Justice League, could we even take em?"
"This one is way out of our pay rate, but it'd be one hell of a payday if we pulled it off," Cloe responded.
With another weapon specifically designed to combat against monsters. There was no opportunity for her to start the item as a batarang was thrown and the item dislodged from the hunter's hand. And with swift and calculated speed, Batman moved in over them both and faster than they could react as they were taken down in one strike each. A gas canister was dropped over the ground and creating an immediate smoke screen. Both Cloe and the other were coughing while finding it challenging to breathe. And it wasn't until the dust started to clear before they were able to catch their breaths and stand, but that's when they gathered what had been essentially pulled up from under their feet.
"The girl!" both shouted at once.
Over the ground was just the empty net and Cloe cursing under her breath.
"They couldn't have gotten far, we'll use this to track them," Cloe lifted the monster tracker. "Come, there's no time to waste."
She ran for the entrance and he was right next to her, pulling the net along.
"What about hood?"
"Somewhere near. She was on her way to meet with us, but why I haven't any clue. The timing of this couldn't have come at a better time. We might just land the ultimate catch," Cloe added.
Together they stormed out of the building together with her leading the way. And it was over a rooftop a short distance away that the child succubus was dropped over the rooftop and yelped as her knees roughly collided with the rooftop. She slowly stood and faced him, but did so wobbly given the loss of energy she sustained. Moving back somewhat she looked him up and down with her hands clasped together and a glimmer of awe in her eyes.
"You… you're him aren't cha? The Bat guy of town," she paused for a moment before turning her body opposite of him and jumping up. "I'm like the luckiest girl eva… first the man of steel and now this. Hhhmmm, but Superman is still cooler though. But even more awesome would be the wonder lady."
Her eyes narrowed while she scratched at the left side of her cheek and humming.
"Hey!" Batman shot and her shoulders tightening as she spun around and faced him.
"Yessir!" her arms dropped down by her sides, almost mockingly.
His gaze was cemented to her, keeping a close eye as he took a step forward and his shadow looming over her. This girl was a succubus that much he was positive, but she looked nothing like the one who appeared in the Wayne Enterprises building. Even so he wasn't one that believed in coincidence, and knew she had had some connection to the other. Her being here, and not even two miles from the Wayne Tower building wasn't just by chance.
"So ah, mister Bat guy. What all is inside the belt?"
"I'll be asking the questions!" he shot back with a glare.
She again straightened her stance as if she were in a military formation/rollcall. There was a silent chuckle that escaped her lips, indicating both cockiness and that she was making light of the situation. Regardless, he was going to get out of her what he needed. This wouldn't be like interrogating a prototypical criminal, not only was she a monster but more importantly a child.
"Yesterday night, that building there," he pointed to the Wayne Industries building which flashed bright blue letters. "There was one of your kind, a succubi in search for someone. Bruce Wayne. Where can I find her?"
Just like that Audrey almost busted out laughing but bit down over her tongue to keep from doing so and Batman keying in, with not even the slightest bit of it going unnoticed by him. What did she find so humorous? But then again she was merely a child, so there was really no telling what was going on inside her head. And so he started over.
"Why did the girl want to meet with Bruce Wayne?" Batman questioned.
The question only resulted in added laughter from the child succubi.
"You really don't know, do yah mister?" she quietly giggled.
His eyes contracted over her further.
"Elaborate," Batman responded.
And right away he activated a voice recognition device from his belt and waited for her response.
"Sorry, mother told me not to talk to strangers. I'ma be on my way now," she waved him off while she turned and walked towards the roof's edge. "Thanks for saving me though."
"We aren't done. Who is this mother of yours?" he took off after her.
Audrey turned her head and looking back at him over her right shoulder.
"I ain't sayin," she flashed her eyelashes just as her body completely broke down in front of him into a clutter of bats.
But she went nowhere as a beam canned from an adjacent building zapped each and every one of the bats and Audrey returning to her physical form as she screamed and was dropped off the side of the roof. Batman reacted immediately and diving off the ledge and catching her midair as the dropped down over the sidewalk a couple stories down. She was a bit shaken and seeing stars as he held her in his arms, and not a second later system automatic voice spoke into his cowl.
"Analysis complete. Voice comparison one hundred percent identical," the system conferred.
And with that his eyes batted. The girl which he held in his hands was the same one that appeared at the front steps of the Wayne Industries building. He was so fixated on her appearance that he forgot who and what he might be dealing with. Yes, from the footage it was plain that the girl was of a monster species that specialized in manipulating and wielding others to her own will. And seeing her lied out over the ground beneath that net as a succubi, and knowing full and well their ability to change their appearance on a whim, in addition to coming across her so close to where the presumed other had been spotted should have been an eye opener. And it was only after hearing her speak up close and listening that the comparison to the girl caught on cameras registered; the voice and Scottish accent being key.
"You're her," Batman set the succubi down over her feet. "The one that sought Wayne, what is your name and why did you want to meet him?"
"I… I never said that was me!"
"You didn't have to. Now answer…" Batman pulled her aside hurriedly as another beam was fired down over them.
He believed it to be Cloe and her partner, but it was someone else exclusively. While from afar and couldn't make out very many features he did figure it to be a woman and she was dressed in a red cloak, with a hood pulled up over her head with a white apron tied around her in the front and a basket hanging from her left arm. From where, he couldn't recall but he had seen this person somewhere before. Nonetheless, now wasn't the time nor place to question the child succubus. Not until these persons tailing them had first been dealt with.
"Why are they after you?" Batman looked down at the succubi.
"Dunno," she shrugged. "The lady said something about hunters. They're part of some club that hunts monsters, or something like that. Stalker Slayers."
By then the woman in the cloak had leaped down from a nearby rooftop and coming at them from across the street. And in that instant that's when it all came back to him. Not only where he'd seen her before, but her name.
"Dark Stalker Slayers, Hood… Baby Bonnie Hood," Batman's fists constricted.
It was seven years back, and she'd grown since but still recognizable. And at the time she had to be around the age of eight or nine if memory served him right.
"Isn't this quite the treat," she was with a smirk. "Didn't think I'd ever run into you again."
Just as Cloe and the other hunter, BB Hood carried a device of her own that identified monsters; confirming both that stood before her fell under that category.
"Well I'll be dammed," the device lowered in her grasp and her eyes directly over the masked detective. "What a change a few years has done. Is that still you behind the mask, or someone else? From the first time we encountered our systems never deemed you a monster, or perhaps you had some way of hiding it from us back then. Our equipment has since that time upgraded significantly since those years ago."
"Baby Bonnie Hood," he stepped forward and with his eyes on her.
She chortled a bit whilst waving her basket around.
"You do remember me, hhhmmm I'm flattered. In that case you know what our business here is," she looked directly to the child who was close beside him. "We hunt and track monsters, all shapes, sizes and forms from all over. That child there is no exception. We'd rather not target those of such high stature as yourself, it would lead to bad publicity and we absolutely don't need that."
"I'm not done questioning her," Batman responded.
Right around then Cloe and her partner reemerged from around a corner. The statement by the caped crusader was something she found rather intriguing. But at the moment that wasn't her concern as there was really only one thing that she wanted and knowing what she knew about him, there was no way he'd just hand the girl over. But she was more than prepared for an obstacle such as this and all it took was a simple radio to by standing backup. It was but moments later that he listened in on the roaring engines of incoming vehicles that seemed to show up out of nowhere in every which direction, armored and in the color of black.
"You don't want to do this," Batman looked BB Hood straight in the eyes. "Trust me."
"Believe me, I don't. The succubus there is nothing special, one of many that we could hunt elsewhere but it's the idea that counts. You see, we Slayers will not be bullied or told what to do. An example and standard must be set."
And as those words left her lips, doors of the surrounding vehicles swung open and their weapons aimed at both the caped crusader and succubus. The entire scene felt like deja vu all over again, as if he'd been through this seven years back in this exact standoff with this same organization. There was a loud thump which came from up high and over the rooftops which diverted everyone's attention. It was a lone individual who flipped around and carrying a staff in hand as he leaped down from the rooftops and joining Batman in the middle of the street.
"Robin…" Batman looked to the boy wonder in surprise.
"Heard about the episode at Wayne Tower the other night. Pennyworth detailed your investigation and I tracked the car."
"I've got this one under-wraps," Batman quickly responded. "There are other places you could be helping."
"And miss out on this," Robin looked around at the various hunters dressed in dark colors and fully geared. "Don't think so."
While he hadn't noticed her at first, Robin's eyes did eventually fall over the girl that was on the other side of the Batman.
"Is that her, the one who…"
"Yes," Batman responded quickly.
From across them Baby Bonnie Hood laughed.
"Discussing strategy, are you? I can assure you that whatever you come up with will fail you."
"Who is she and who are they?" Robin asked.
"An organization that pursues monsters. They will stop at nothing until they have her," Batman responded.
"And our interference makes us targets. Fine by me!"
Robin charged forward while spinning his staff. Batman had wanted to try and negotiate a little bit but that was quickly off the table as Robin had already landed his first strike with the tip of his staff. A few shots were fired from members of the Dark Stalker Slayers as both Batman and Audrey ducked the lasers. Robin back-flipped and kneed one in the back of the head as he disarmed another and leg swept him as he landed over the surface. BB Hood watched with a smile over her face just before clapping her hands.
"This ought to be fun."
BB Hood jumped into action with multiple kicks that Batman blocked before countering with a strike to her jaw as she was sent aside. And with that the other hunters piled in over them, numbering over fifty. But Baby Bonnie Hood was quickly back on her feet and with a loud whistle and then came a loud thump as one of the nearby vehicles shook back and forth. Next thing the back doors were kicked open and an 8'2 individual stepped out and cracking his knuckles.
"Wow, he's really giant!" the succubus said with wide eyes.
The individual had very pale, purple-ish skin and blonde hair.
"I introduce to you, Victor Von Gerdenheim, a Frankenstein! And yes he is a monster and we're monster hunters, but a certain underground organization took away someone close to him, that he cared for dearly. Emily is her name, and she's being held captive and we offered our resources and manpower to help in his search and in return he adds a little muscle to our efforts. He had sacrificed himself for her once before, ending his own life as he told us. But he's been since revived and…"
"No one cares about your stupid backstory!" Robin cut her off. "So Frankenstein joined your little tea party, who gives a crap!"
The boy wonder threw out a birdarang intended for BB Hood but Victor jumping in front of her, catching the projectile and crushing it.
"Good job Victor," BB Hood applauded him. "Make yourself useful and deal with that one."
She pointed directly at the caped crusader.
"Leave the little ants to us."
Robin bit down, irritated be the insult while he again moved in over the enemy. His eyes were glued to Victor, but lost sight of him as the Frankenstein leaped upward and touching down in front of Batman. A stay laser beam struck Audrey in the left shoulder and then another over her opposite side, dropping her. Jogging out to her, Batman's cape was grabbed from behind as he was pulled back and taken into a headlock. Right away he powered out of this and kneeing Victor in the stomach and adding space between them. And as Victor ran at him, Batman sidestepped and throwing out a kick which knocked his opponent backwards. Gerdenheim placed a hand over his stomach while he caught his breath. Cracking his knuckles, electricity appeared around them while he again went right at his target. The Frankenstein landed a strike across Batman's face, which saw voltage through his body. Victor then threw out a leg which landed in Batman's side and then a punch to the right side of his face. Batman hit the ground with his head spinning and his chest heaving.
But Batman quickly bounced back on his feet, dodged left while throwing a hard right stopping his opponent's assault before beginning his own. Victor was forced back with Batman's constant punches. Even with the monster limiter suppressing his base strength, he had more than enough raw power to deal with the likes of the monster. Not far from him Robin was being crowded and overwhelmed, but for only a short while as the succubus swooped in to aid him. An opening appeared allowing the succubi to launch a hard kick into the chest of one and followed with a heel kick to the jaw of another.
And taking to the air bats surrounded her body as her appearance changed with her hair turning a dark green and her eyes blue. And she was dressed in a blue robe. Robin spun his staff around and whacking one across the head and watched his eyes spin before hitting the ground.
"That was spiffy," the succubus flew in beside him. "Yur Robin, right? This is so cool, I'm totally teaming with the dynamic duo. This night so can't get any better than this!"
Robin reached out and pulled her down as a laser beam barely passed over her head.
"Pay attention!" Robin frowned as he pushed away from her.
Subsequently a portion of at least eight hunters were lifted off their feet and floating in the air, as they were propelled in a circular wave and smashed into the side of a building.
"Hey witch lady, over here. I'm over here!" Audrey waved to the witch who hovered through the air. "And guess who I ran into, guess!"
Robin eyed the witch and suspected she was the one that completed the feat. The witch slowly hovered towards them, but was shot out of the air by a weapon Baby Bonnie Hood pulled out of her basket and the hunter blowing at the barrel of her weapon.
"Witch lady, noooo!"
Audrey flapped her wings and flew into the sir but became a noticeable target that many on foot took aim over. Diving down and beside the witch, Audrey charged viciously at two. Away from them, Batman and Victor battled it out and the Frankenstein having a difficult time figuring and getting around the Dark Knight's defenses. While at first they seemed to go back and forth, he now had a difficult time landing hits. Robin shoved his staff into the ground and using it as leverage as he propelled himself upward into the air and kicking BB Hood in the jaw. She was knocked off balance a few feet and wiped blood from her mouth. And with a thin smirk appeared over her face as the monster hunter uncovered two apples which she tossed at Robin.
"What!" Robin stepped back while spinning his staff around.
The two apples exploded unexpectedly over his body as he was sent flying in the opposite direction. Victor found himself falling back while blocking but was unable to counter. But Batman bypassed this and landing multiple punches which saw the Frankenstein off his feet. Batman then looked in the direction of where both Audrey and the witch were being surrounded and dashed out that way. The hunters had no answer for his precision and technique as he took out each and every one of them that tried standing in his way. Together both he and the succubi fought off the hunters while the other used her witchcraft to force them back and one after another body after body dropped. Robin joined them from afar and when the outcome was becoming all but clear, a whistle was sounded and from afar one appeared from the back of a vehicle and carrying a massive firearm, unique in design, silver and massive.
"Lookie," the succubi pointed out. "What is that thing?"
By the time the others took notice of the weapon, a shot had already been fired and covering much ground in the form of an energy wave which not only engulfed the four of them but others of the hunters as well. The blast sent the bunch of them soaring at least forty yards in the opposite direction. The witch was knocked unconscious while both Audrey and Batman felt numb all over; the caped crusader slowly rolling over and pushing up. Robin ached and felt soreness as he spat blood and positioned himself on a knee. Whatever the weapon, Batman knew it was formulated specifically to submerge monsters. He could feel the effects it was having on his body. And while he was able to move freely, Audrey had a much more difficult time.
"Your name," Batman glared down at her.
Struggling just to reestablish on her and looking up at him she coughed out, feeling like her lungs were going to implode.
"You… you have to protect me from them, please. I'm really important," she struggled to get those words out.
Robin was with his eyes over Batman, still very much clouded by all that was happening. Why had this girl been after Bruce Wayne and why were they being attacked by these hunters.
"I can't promise that, if you don't start talking," Batman shot back.
She bit back sharply at this and her fists clutched while she tried pushing up, but only to fall back forward. At the moment she didn't have the means to even escape, let alone do much of anything else.
"Okay, okay… but you gotta promise to help me. Don't let them take me!"
"Talk," Batman responded.
The palm of her hand rubbed against the cement surface as her eyes closed for a moment.
"My name is Audrey and I'm a native to the realm Makai."
"Makai…" Batman murmured.
"Yes," she nodded.
He couldn't say what, but in that moment he started to have a strange feeling, and one that he just couldn't shake off.
"And Bruce Wayne?" the caped crusader followed up.
There was a long pause by the succubi as her eyes opened and felt her strength returning somewhat as she had just enough to sit up and position on her knees.
"Because I've been told he's my dad," she whispered.
"What?!" Robin almost jumped out of his boots.
"By whom?!" Batman demanded, his heart vying at this point.
"My mother, head of the Aensland family and ruler of Makai. Morrigan Aensland."
Right away Robin turned and looked to his father.
"Not possible, tell me that's not possible?!" the boy wonder pointed at the caped crusader.
Batman completely froze, feeling like the ground beneath his feet crumbled with the sky falling and his soul ripped apart.
"Batman!" Robin again shouted.
From up high a class of bats flapped and dove down over them.
"Oh man, I'm so dead now…"
Audrey felt shivers in her shoulders, feeling and knowing that energy signature all too well. Beside the child the bats shaped into a physical form as Morrigan stood before them and with her arms crossed and glaring down over Audrey.
"Hi, mom…" she said with fright in her tone, which was also present in her eyes.
Makai's ruler looked like she was ready to bury the child right then and there, but that's not what happened. Morrigan instead dropped to a knee and with her arms wrapped around the girl.
"I'll kill you later, I'm so grateful you're unharmed. What were you thinking leaving the castle?!"
Batman coughed aloud and getting Morrigan's attention who was still with her arms wrapped around Audrey.
"Is what she said true?" his glare radiated heavy.
Immediately Morrigan swallowed her own saliva. What exactly had the child told him and more importantly, how did they even come into contact. And why had she left palace in the first place?
"What did she say?" the succubus halfway wished she didn't ask.
Looking her off for a moment he grunted with a visible facade of impatience.
"Is Bruce Wayne the father of this child?" he responded.
Quietness fell over them until an uneasy chuckle fled passed Morrigan's lips. How could she even respond? Lying certainly was off the table, as it was always going to come to this eventually. There was really only one thing she could do.
"Surprise…" Morrigan almost quivered.
