*Gotham harbor. It was here the that felonious fedora fiend better known as the Schemer had brought the clique to pull off what was to be the greatest extortion scheme in the history of that city. His plan...to use the powers of his delightful, darling daiughter Alyssa to sonically destroy the gotham stock exchange unless a huge ransom was paid to prevent it from occuring,
It was truly a big day. It was Alyssa's coming out party into the realm of crime...as it were....and thus far...she had done marvelously....even to the point of entrancing several members of the justice league with her perfectly pitched siren sounds.
With Batman, Wonderwoman and a few others in the clique's control....things looked grim for the forces of of justice. But for the Schemer....it was a grand day indeed. A grand criminal coup...the capture and/or elimination of the league. It would be the masterpiece of of his criminal career....not to mention it would put him over the top at the supervillain of the year awards. No more would he be the Susan Lucci of supercriminals. He would win the award....and the pompous speech he had ready for the last ten years would be finally uttered....much to the pleasure of all!!*
Alyssa darling....would you please do dear Hard Core a favor and turn Wonder Woman over to her control. It's been her fantasy for years you know. And somebody grab Batman and Robin's untility belts. I won't take any chances with them. I'll not risk being beaten by those insidious, unconstitutional devices again!!!
--
She maintained her hold of the Amazonian superheroine, bound in her own magical lasso. The strength of the lasso would keep the woman bound, and under minor suggestive control for the time being, though having Wonder Woman under her complete command via hypnotism could have it's benefits as well.
She sits back down and jerks the other woman down with her, then has her get on all fours before her to use as a foot rest.
"Well, surely news that the Justice League was sent to stop us has been made. I think that the threat should be considerably well planted in people's minds now, should you make the announcement."
--
Alyssa first moved over to Wonder Woman and bent down a little to get closer to her ear and to the soft tune of “hush little baby” gave her instructions to pay nice, do as Hard Core says… she paused a moment and smirked up at Auntie Hard Core, giving her a nice little perk by adding “And make sure you enjoy carrying out her wishes” she said, flashing one more smile before she moved back over to Bats and the boy wonder as their belts were removed, she hummed the same tune to them and looked them over for a moment. “Daddy? What were you planning on doing with them? Maybe I need a trophy boyfriend…” she posed.
--
Llyron, in the form of Namor, looked about. He wore a pseudoderm, so even genetic scans would reveal him to be Namor and not his partially Lemurian self. Ankle wings were feathered and not dragonlike. He would have to do without his varied technology since his berserker father never used such, but sacrifices had to be made.
Hmmmm, Wonder Woman. He'd recently made an alliance with the princess. He'd keep an eye out for an opportunity to arrange her freedom. As for the rest of the Justice Losers of America, he didn't care. Not that he wouldn't mind some genetic samplings.
One worry ... he was terrified of the Flash. The man's speed was ludicrous. But his experimental dimensional jammer was available in an emergency. Granted, it would disclose his identity, but better than total defeat by the speedster should he appear.
"By Poseidon, Schemer, I will abide by my pledge to aid you in your endeavors, but take no liberties with the female captives or face the wrath of the Avenging Son."
There ... that sounded sufficiently self righteous and pompous ...
--
Gino was in the harbor as well. He wasnt going to let Schemer and the rest of the Clique know he was on the side of the Redeemers. He was going to play them like a dog would with a ball.
He rose up out of the harbor and roared a loud roar. He was lvoing a new city to smash or so he gave that impression. He started to make his way to shore. Soon reaching the edge of the warehouse area and stepped with earth shattering steps. Causing alarms to go off.
--
Take green arrow. *The Schemer said to Alyssa when she suggested taking a trophy from all this. These two....oh I have a plan in mind for them!! *He used his cane as a pointer...and turned it into the direction of the nearby state fair grounds...which at this time of night were all but deserted. In the section marked aerial history....among the many artifacts of was a huge balloon....with a riding basket underneath.*
We'll use that for the bats last flight!! Bring them along, Alyssa my dear.
*He turned to Hard Core and grinned.* We'll announce our plans presently. But first....I must remove batman and bird boy here from the scene....as it were.
*the only downside was not all the league was present. Superman, Green Lantern, Huntress, the martain manhunter, the Flash and a few others were still out there. But befret of the powers of those captured....the would be easy prey for the clique.*
Alyssa darling....have the duo follow us there...and have them step into the balloons basket.*
A moment later Llyron arrived in his namor guise. He was easy to spot...for even though he did not bring his technological arsenal with him.....he still carried Selenium as protection against the Schemer's powers. That was something Namor never had done.*
Yes yes....as you say....er...namor. Feel free to round up the others if you wish. Green Arrow...black canary. Desperado, Shining Knight. Bat Girl. Just let Alyssa pick out the one of her choice please. As for Wonder Woman.....I'm afraid you must take that up with Hard Core. Let me know where to send your remains if you try to take the amazon from her.
*Gino surprising arrived a moment later...his titans body causing the harbor patrol to go on alert. No matter....his presence was welcome. If Superman and the others showed up....he would be most useful against them,*
--
She felt the boat shift and shake some as the aquatic beastie came from the water...her feet falling from Wonder Woman's back. She stands and pulls her amazon on a leash upright, though she loosens the restraints a bit...as well as removing her bracelets and tiara, just in case.
"Gino?"
She furrows her brow, having thought him dead for some time, though wishing she could have introduced her girls to him...he'd make for an interesting pet for them.
She looks towards the disguised fishman and raises a brow. "This one's mine...and what I do to her, and with her is none of Schemer's doing." She grins slightly, her eyes turning to Alyssa to see which of the prizes she'd pick among the group.
--
Alyssa pouted a little, having picked out Robin at first, but then with her father’s prompting she turned a critical eye on the archer she’d taken out so easily. He wasn’t half bad, had some nice muscles, a strong jaw… she slipped up to him and whispered in his ear. A moment later, she found his lips on hers before she pulled back and smiled a little. “Mmmm hmm… I think… he’ll do nicely.” She purred before whispering a little more to him and then heading back to Bats and Boy Wonder, giving them her father’s orders.
--
He looked up. Gino was here. His pseudoderm protected from genetic scans but heightened senses of smell might reveal him. But ... on the good side ... he still had his aquatic telepathy. Talking to gold fish ... NOT a power he bragged about. But then he remembered that he couldn't use it because of the selenium he wore. He looked a bit different ... younger. Had he lost weight?
Llyron/Namor turned and looked about, and happily scooped up Black Canary and Batgirl, tossing them over his shoulders, a hand of gluteous firmly holding them in place. Quite the handful.
"If you insist ..."
Lord it was hard dumbing down his speech to mimic his father ...
--
Gino would help keep the cops and harbor patrola busy so Schemer could try and get more heroes under his control. Or so he would maked them think. A few harbor patrols boats were on to Gino but Gino would would use his hurrican breath and sink them. He had another breath attck but he was saving it.
He let our a loud roar then HC caught his eye. He saw her out of the corner of his eyes and let out a low growl. Gino stopped for a few minutes. Then started to take care of more and playing with a few patrol boats like they were a bath toy to him.
--
Behold...the unbeatable batman and his pesky pal...utterly bested!! How perfect!! *He allowed Alyssa and Hard Core to indulge their sexual fantasy moments...while he relieved the caped clods of their famous utility belts. Once befret of their devices...he ordered them into the balloon...and but not before taking the precaution of tying their hands and feet.
Once inside the balloon....the Schemer went to work...using his mechnical genius to fix the altimeter inside the basket to certain vile specifications. Once all was set....he ordered the duo to awaken. He wanted them to know what was coming....and the fact that he the Schemer was going to be there excutioner.*
What's going on?? *Robin asked when he awoke.*
Welcome back to the land of the living....for the briefest of momnets I'm afraid.! *the Schemer chuckled*
Holy haberdashery, Batman!! the Schemer!!
Yes Robin. *Batman interjected.* Along with Namor and those larcenous lackeys....the clique.
Well said, Batman!! *The Schemer said smiling in a most unpleasant manner.*
What is this?? What are planning to do with us?? *Robin asked.*
There's something in the wind for you two. *The Schemer said triumphantly.*
Holy graf zeppelin a hot air ballloon!!
And here's another little suprise for you. You see that altimeter?? When you reach 20 thousand feet...a device I've just installed will release the basket holding you two...and you both will reaffirm Newton's law of universal gravitation 20 thousand feet back down to earth.
*With that the Schemer pressed a button on his omniblaster and dagger popped out.*
This I'm afraid....will be the unkindest cut of all.
*He cut the rope holding the balloon down....and off sailed batman and Robin.*
Farewell Dynamic duo!!! Bon Voyage!! Happy Landings!!! Remember me!!
Meanwhile....alerted by the presence of Gino...gotham city police were arriving in droves.* Destroy those fools!!! I'll not have them ruin my triumphant moment!!
--
She looks back towards the empty fairground and shakes her head seeing the hot air balloon start floating quickly upwards.
"He must have given quite a speech for that much hot air to be there." She shakes her head and pets her Wonderous Woman. She looks from the manfish, to her step-daughter and her man of many shafts.
"And now the police decide to arrive." She looks up at the ginormous lizard, then motions towards the coming sirens.
"They may not be sardines, but they do come in small cans."
--
“Dad… wait… no…” she said as she scrambled for the cord, missing it by a mile as she looked back at her dad and sighed. “Dad… they were here, where we could see them. Now we can’t see what happens to them. They are going to get away, dad.” She pointed out, looking very hurt that he would do something like that.
She sighed and moved back to Green Arrow and told him to hug her. She rested her head on his chest in a full pout as she tried to think of what to do next.
--
Llyron nearly choked, at the double entendre about coming in small cans. Was Hardcore trying to make him blow the clueless Namor cover? Hmmmm, Green Arrow had a nice goatee. He had thought about doing the goatee thing ... even worn one for his Dracula costume at Halloween. But he was too leery of Star Trek - Spock references.
"As you wish, my Ally."
He flew forward with the two woman over his shouders ... it hardly required his hands to deal with human officers. He landed on the hood of a police vehicle, crushing the engine then proceeded to step onto the roof, and pin the officers in the crushed car. A bullet bounded off his back.
"Fools, you moronic surface crawlers have been flinging lead at me with useless noise makers since the thirties? Eighty years later, you think you'd have a clue!!"
--
Gino looks at the cans with lights on them. Lowered himself to them and growled. Took a quick sniff and didnt smell fish. He roared as the cops held their hands to there ears at the sound and were in pain from the loudness. Gino stood back up then looked at Schemer and growled.
His back spines began to start to glow slightly as if he was going to use something deadly on the cops. Then spotted some fuel tanks by a fuel truck. As if he was going to fire something at them. Which he did. It was a steady stream of bright blue. Causing the tanks to explode. He moved his head left to right as is to make a wall of flames for the cops to try and get through.
--
*He paid little attention to what was going on around him. His associates could handle the police. He was far too involved with the notion that at last...finally....without question he had beaten the invincible batman. It had amazed him over the years....that despite being his least powerful enemy....batman had proven to be one of his most persistant...and potent foes. But that was over now. Finally.....he the Schemer had destroyed the bat!!*
Gone!! the bats last flight!! I've beaten him!! *He paused...forming the proper words for this grand occation before heading into the proper bit of speechification*
So many others have tried. The Joker, the Ridder, Mister Freeze, Catwoman, even gearhead. Masters of their craft I grant you...but I....the Schemeram the one that finally plucked the wings off the bat.
*Being a solemn moment he placed his hand of his heart and fought hard not to weep at the occation.*
Batman and Robin dead. The sheer glory of this moment. My cup runth over.
*It took Alyssa rushing after the departed balloon rope and complaining that the duo would now escape for the Schemer to come back to present reality.*
What?? You interupted my speech!! Never do that again! Do you not realize I'm being taped!! Every utterence of the schemer....especially in grand moments like this must be recorded and saved....thus future generations might benefit from my wisdom.
*The notion of the bat escaping prompted more words from the sinister sovereign of speechification.*
Escape!! Bah!! You worry too much, darling. My schemes never fail!!!
*Around him...'namor' and Gino wre hard at work driving off the police.* Maginificent!! A masterful display of the destructive arts!!
--
"So..I don't guess we really have to threaten with what Alyssa can do to hold Gotham for ransom anymore..." She pauses and glances at her watch, wondering if she should call her girls to make sure their homework was finished...or at least make sure that the LMD that was supposed to be homeschooling them hasn't been dismantled by either of them.
She muses slightly at Alyssa having Green Arrow hold and comfort her, figuring she definitely didn't get enough of that from her father growing up.
Her eyes move back to the fishman in disguise with the women over his shoulders, wondering if the police were going to be careful no not injure them while shooting at him...but then remembers that Gotham Cops are about as effective as Storm Troopers when it comes to shooting targets.
--
She frowned. If it wasn’t for her this stupid plot of his never would have gotten off the ground. If it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t have HAD the chance to put them up in that balloon. He was being stupid again and she wasn’t going to stick around for the inevitable fall out.
“Come on.” She said, taking Green Arrow by the hand and leading him away. She stopped by Hard Core and sighed a little. “I’m going home, but… if she starts… you know… acting up? Just give me a call, I can sing over the phone. I don’t know how long the whammy lasts… but… you shouldn’t have trouble.” She said, before leading her new trophy off again.
--
"The Malefic Master of Magniloquence. Yes, I grant you that title, even over my own false son's self-righteous rants. But can we hold off on the celebration until the bat is dead. I agree with the lovely one ... a simple snapped neck is much more sure ... "
He noted Gino merely blocking the approach of police, not slaughtering them. He WAS an unpredictable beast.
--
Gino had done his job. He maily did it to protect the cops then suddenly he jumped into the harbor and dove under as if he was going to sink some more harbor patrol ship. Then turns around and acted as if to charge the ship. But uses his agility to jump back on top the shore and landed with a violent shaking of the ground to cause some power poles and lines to break and fall around the cops. Then looked like he was going to ram a few of the cars with his head.
--
*The Schemer merely observed as the beatdown of the harbor patrol and gotham city police continued.* this is perfect. I'm loving every minute of this!!
*Hard Core then reminded him of the actual plot they had in store for Gotham.*
Yes....I suppose I better call that clod Gordon and have Alyssa demonstrate what she can do.
*But Alyssa had other ideas.* Go home?? What are you serious?? We have to hold the Gotham stock exchange hostage. This a billion dollar scheme. You have to stay.
Llyron's remarks about being the malefic master of magniloquence was exceptional. He would add that to his many titles.*
Very good....er....Llyron. Although I still prefer the mutant master of malevolent mayhem myself.
--
"Darling, Alyssa has already shown what she can do...several times already today. She destroyed the Chessman building's water tower...that's why the Just Us league showed up. She's dealt admirably with them as well. Gotham's Finest are held at bay by Gino, and Gotham's saviors are headed into a extremely low oxygen environment before getting to plummet to their deaths. If nothing else, she's going to get one hell of a raise in her allowance."
She shakes her head. "I'm sure Gotham will be calling you to ask what they can do to prevent us from destroying things further on their own any moment now."
She smiles and nods to Alyssa, thinking she'll call her the first moment WW decides not to do what she asks.
--
She turned back to her dad and frowned. “Cutting my losses dad, just like you always taught me.” She said softly. “You’re so smart… just figure it out from here.” She told him in a biting manner. She was clearly hurt and he couldn’t care less. So while heaving a sigh and blinking a little, she looked back to Green Arrow. At least it wasn’t a total loss… she’d just call her mom to come pick her up and everything would be fine again, and things could go back to normal. It was nice to have her dad think about her for a little while anyway…
“Thanks HC. I’ll see you soon.” She said, tossing a smile to her that faded quickly.
--
Gino slowly started to raise up again and acted like he was going to charge the boat. He wasn't the Gino of old anymore. He was something else. He got up more sped while running at the boat. He growled and acted as if he was pissed off at both sides of the spectrum. The ground shook more and more violently. The water started to ripple.
--
It was truly a big day. It was Alyssa's coming out party into the realm of crime...as it were....and thus far...she had done marvelously....even to the point of entrancing several members of the justice league with her perfectly pitched siren sounds.
With Batman, Wonderwoman and a few others in the clique's control....things looked grim for the forces of of justice. But for the Schemer....it was a grand day indeed.

Her eyes move back to the fishman in disguise with the women over his shoulders, wondering if the police were going to be careful no not injure them while shooting at him...but then remembers that Gotham Cops are about as effective as Storm Troopers when it comes to shooting targets.

She frowned. If it wasn’t for her this stupid plot of his never would have gotten off the ground. If it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t have HAD the chance to put them up in that balloon. He was being stupid again and she wasn’t going to stick around for the inevitable fall out.
“Come on.” She said, taking Green Arrow by the hand and leading him away. She stopped by Hard Core and sighed a little. “I’m going home, but… if she starts… you know… acting up? Just give me a call, I can sing over the phone. I don’t know how long the whammy lasts… but… you shouldn’t have trouble.” She said, before leading her new trophy off again.

"The Malefic Master of Magniloquence. Yes, I grant you that title, even over my own false son's self-righteous rants. But can we hold off on the celebration until the bat is dead. I agree with the lovely one ... a simple snapped neck is much more sure ... "
He noted Gino merely blocking the approach of police, not slaughtering them. He WAS an unpredictable beast.

Gino had done his job. He maily did it to protect the cops then suddenly he jumped into the harbor and dove under as if he was going to sink some more harbor patrol ship. Then turns around and acted as if to charge the ship. But uses his agility to jump back on top the shore and landed with a violent shaking of the ground to cause some power poles and lines to break and fall around the cops. Then looked like he was going to ram a few of the cars with his head.

*The Schemer merely observed as the beatdown of the harbor patrol and gotham city police continued.* this is perfect. I'm loving every minute of this!!
*Hard Core then reminded him of the actual plot they had in store for Gotham.*
Yes....I suppose I better call that clod Gordon and have Alyssa demonstrate what she can do.
*But Alyssa had other ideas.* Go home?? What are you serious?? We have to hold the Gotham stock exchange hostage. This a billion dollar scheme. You have to stay.
Llyron's remarks about being the malefic master of magniloquence was exceptional. He would add that to his many titles.*
Very good....er....Llyron. Although I still prefer the mutant master of malevolent mayhem myself.

"Darling, Alyssa has already shown what she can do...several times already today. She destroyed the Chessman building's water tower...that's why the Just Us league showed up. She's dealt admirably with them as well. Gotham's Finest are held at bay by Gino, and Gotham's saviors are headed into a extremely low oxygen environment before getting to plummet to their deaths. If nothing else, she's going to get one hell of a raise in her allowance."
She shakes her head. "I'm sure Gotham will be calling you to ask what they can do to prevent us from destroying things further on their own any moment now."
She smiles and nods to Alyssa, thinking she'll call her the first moment WW decides not to do what she asks.

She turned back to her dad and frowned. “Cutting my losses dad, just like you always taught me.” She said softly. “You’re so smart… just figure it out from here.” She told him in a biting manner. She was clearly hurt and he couldn’t care less. So while heaving a sigh and blinking a little, she looked back to Green Arrow. At least it wasn’t a total loss… she’d just call her mom to come pick her up and everything would be fine again, and things could go back to normal. It was nice to have her dad think about her for a little while anyway…
“Thanks HC. I’ll see you soon.” She said, tossing a smile to her that faded quickly.

Gino slowly started to raise up again and acted like he was going to charge the boat. He wasn't the Gino of old anymore. He was something else. He got up more sped while running at the boat. He growled and acted as if he was pissed off at both sides of the spectrum. The ground shook more and more violently. The water started to ripple.
