Wonder Girl Posted: Jan 2, 2007 6:27 AM
Cassandra Sandsmark had been at home flipping channels on her TV for at least four hours. Nothing was on. Nothing at all. News, New Years countdowns, holiday cartoons, not even the Titans communicator was ringing.
“Lame…” Cassie mumbled as she flipped through her Entertainment Weekly magazine in hopes for some fun. Nope. Just dumb tabloids. Sighing, she put the magazine down and rolled over on the couch, her Mom was cooking in the other room.
“Oh my word!” came her Mom’s voice as she dropped a dish. Cassie jumped up flying top her aid.
“Mom? What is it?” Cassie asked. “Are you hurt? What happened?”
“Gotham happened… Cassandra look at the TV… isn’t your friend Timothy there?” her mother said pointing to the TV as a news station covered the ‘New Year’s Horror in Gotham City’. A bomb was off, fires, explosions and…
“OMACs…” Cassie muttered. She took off top speed to her room changing into her costume and wrapping her glowing lasso on her hip. She slid on her black boots, and took off to the kitchen.
“Mom! I’m going to help the situation!” she told her mother as she opened the door, hovering inches above the ground. “I’ll check in soon! Batman and the others are going to need my help!”
Taking off as fast as she could fly, her blonde hair flapped behind her as she bee lined for Gotham City. She grabbed her Titans Communicator and spoke.
“All available Titans report to Gotham City! I repeat all available Titans report to Gotham City!” Cassie barked into the yellow communicator. “We have an emergency! NOW!”
“Oracle? It’s Wonder Girl. I’m on my way to help. Where do you need me to go?” she asked Oracle, who she knew was listening.

Speedy Posted: Jan 2, 2007 6:45 AM
“C’mon Ollie you promised.”
“You’re not… having one…”
“You’ve had 12 why can’t I?”
“End of story Mia…”
“Whatever Ollie…” Mia Dearden said rolling her eyes as her care taker Oliver Queen danced the night away with some girls at some party. He promised Mia she could have a screwdriver and here she was empty handed.
As if from a sign to save her from boredom her Titans communicator rang. The caller ID stated it was from Wonder Girl; Cassie. Maybe Dr. Light was out causing trouble. Mia always did enjoy beating the crap outta him. Listening to the message, Mia’s heart dropped.
An emergency in Gotham. Not good. She hoped it wasn’t like last time.
“Hey Wonder Girl, it’s Speedy, what’s going on?” Mia asked as she excused herself from the party.

Wonder Girl Posted: Jan 2, 2007 6:49 AM
“Speedy! Thank the Gods! You’re the first to answer…” Cassie said as she flew top speed ducking down missing some geese.
“It’s terrible. Gotham’s having it’s own mini apocalypse, ” Wonder Girl explained as she held the communicator like a phone to get more comfortable talking. “I haven’t gotten a hold of Robin yet but I’m assuming he’s busy. I called Oracle but God only knows she’s extremely busy.
“From what I’ve gathered, Gotham won’t be on the map much longer. OMACs are there, villains, explosions. It’s terrible Mia…” Wonder Girl said as she dodged an airplane. Woa, gotta watch where I’m going…
“Can you get here?”

Speedy Posted: Jan 2, 2007 6:54 AM
Mia ran to their hotel room, it looked like Ollie had been there, his tux was on the floor and he left an arrow behind. Guess he got the memo.
“Of course I’m coming… I’ll be there… erm…” Mia paused, as she got dressed in her Speedy outfit pulling her hair back as her communicator rested on speaker phone.
“No idea… but it won’t be with in 3o minutes. I’ll have to go by cycle. But sadly I wasn’t blessed with the power of flight.”
Grabbing her arrows and quiver along with her bow, Mia Dearden was replaced by Speedy. “I’m leaving now. Keep me updated. Did you get any of the other Titans by chance? We could really use Starfire… brute alien strength normally rocks…”

“No… no one else has responded but I’m sure they will shortly. This… this is big. Even if they didn’t get my call, Oracle is probably sending out red flags all around, ” Cassie said as she landed on a building looking around, the wind blowing her blonde hair.
“I call you and let you know when I’m there Speedy. When your ETA is with in ten minutes call me, or if you run into a problem. My line is open. Wonder Girl out.”
Sighing, Cassie looked out to the horizon. She was halfway to chaos. Halfway to Hell. Halfway to Gotham.

Raven Posted: Jan 2, 2007 7:30 AM
“Correction Cassandra… Koriand’r and I are responding…” came the soft mythic voice of Raven and besides her, her good Tamerian friend and warrior princess, Koriand’r or in English; Starfire.
Ravens eyes glowed white as she and her long term friend rested atop Titans Tower. “We are ready to assist… my strength is low from a previous battle… so I can not teleport, but Starfire and I are ready to fly and assist you with the OMACs…”
She pulled down her hood, her dark hair blowing gently in the wind as she looked out into the horizon. Her body could feel Gotham’s desperation and fear, the criminals, Noah Kuttler in particular were enjoying the chaos.

Koriand'r Posted: Jan 2, 2007 7:37 AM
Smiling as she tucked her long flaming red hair behind her ear, Koriand’r or simply Kori spoke into the communicator as well. “I contacted Victor shortly after we heard your distress call. As Raven stated she can not teleport but Cyborg has suggested that if we wait and gather the rest of the Titans to the Tower, we can teleport a group and help defeat those who have caused the problem in Gotham.
“Have you heard from Dick or Timothy?” Starfire asked quickly with passion.

Wonder Girl Posted: Jan 2, 2007 7:42 AM
With a wave of relief, Cassie grinned answering Kori and Raven’s call. “Vic’s idea sounds good. I’m head to the battle field now. It’s a complete mess down there…”
Cassie took off again flying as fast as she could, it began to snow lightly. She could only image what it’d be like in Gotham. Heavy snow and destruction. OMACs running around, innocent people dying, and whoever was responsible for this laughing and enjoying themselves like some sort of sick king.
Probably Calculator again… he was the cause of it the last time… the jerk. As if trying to destroy Gotham the first time wasn’t enough, now he’s trying to kill the whole city and everyone in it. That goddamned jerk!
“Robin… it’s Wonder Girl. Come in, ” Cassie said connection to Robin’s personal channel for Gothamites only. He had given her the frequency for emergencies only. This counted.

Lady Vic Posted: Jan 2, 2007 7:52 AM
“Happy New Year Lady Elaine Marsh-Morton, ” said one of Gotham’s finest business men as he clinked his wine glass next to hers, as she swung her head back a fake sick smile on her face.
“Yes, Happy New Year indeed, ” Lady Elaine spoke sipping her red wine as she raised her eyebrows pretending to view the rest of the event. She was supposed to be in Gotham to view it’s grand New Year’s Eve but instead she was part of Calculator’s little plan to blast Gotham to Hell.
And to finish off Nightwing once and for all.
Oh yes, her daggers Bundi Daggers would cut him nicely.
Slipping out of the room unnoticed she went to the back and stripped herself from Lady Elaine Marsh-Morton to Lady Vic: ruthless mercenary.
After a few minutes of preparation she headed out into the snowy streets, an explosion had irrupted while she had prepared and chaos was everywhere. Just how she loved it. Now, to find some of those worthless heroes.
“Noah, it’s Lady Vic, I’m ready, ” she told him, her British accent thick as she traveled downtown.

Black Canary Posted: Jan 2, 2007 11:24 AM
"Oracle is there any word on help coming? This place is quickly becoming a disaster area. There are no signs of gypsy here, have you had any luck contacting her? Dinah surveyed the area looking for anyone who needed her help.
"Oracle where am I needed the most? I think this area is clear."

Calculator Posted: Jan 3, 2007 12:27 AM
Cocking his head to the side, Noah held up one hand to put the Penguin on hold. Something was wrong, Brother Eye wasn't responding and several of the OMACs were non-responsive.Narrowing his eyes he could feel himself being shut out from the floating satellite. It looks like the heroes were better prepared then Noah had thought. No not the heroes, one hero. Batman.
Faster then he thought, but it didn't matter. Noah had prepared for such an eventuality. It was why his version of the OMACs were modular, each one could be closed off from the Brother Eye to such an extent that he only needed it to activate the virus. Now it could function on it's own. With a smile he let his conscious self float back through the one path he had left into the AI system and felt the presence of another.
"Greetings Batman I presume. I must say you are better prepared and more resourceful then I imagined. However I was not unprepared for this. As we speak my OMAC League of Assassins are separating themselves from Brother Eye. Now it's only use is as the worlds greatest observation point. Congratulations, you can now watch everything. But i'm a little upset that you forced me to accelerate my plans like this. So consider this my petty revenge."
On his signal, several failsafes engaged, wiping everything in Brother Eye, every harddrive, ever scrap of tech that the AI might be hidding in. As that happened, both Star Sapphire and Sinestro, assigned to 'protect' Brother Eye now turned their power on the several weak points of the construct. When Noah had rebuilt it from what was left of the device after stealing it from Norad he built it with such a hijacking attempt in mind. One of the tenants he lived by was to never trust anyone. So he built Brother Eye to be destroyed when needed. As it was right now, it was being blasted to millions of millions of tiny pieces which burned up in the atmosphere. No one turned Noah's own devices against him. If he could no longer control something, he destroyed it. Brother Eye was no exception. Besides, he didn't need it, his new Virus ment his OMACs functioned on their own, the only thing they were connected to was the super virus. They were connected to him. Noah was now fully in charge and his OMAC Assassins were functioning on their own, their fanatical loyalty to their leader better then any programming. They now began the destruction again wholesale.
"Now, where were we Pengy?"

Rose Wilson Posted: Jan 3, 2007 3:10 AM
Rose Wilson ran through the chaotic streets of Gotham City with panic on her face. She knew who was behind this whole mess. Calculator. Noah Kuttler. World’s biggest dork ever. Rose hated him. He worked with her father. And anything dealing with ‘dear ole Daddy’ was instantly thrown on the hate list.
Before she had escaped her father’s grasp she had heard her father and Kuttler chatting it up one day about a ‘grand New Year’s Eve’. Yea… grand her ass. More like Ultimate Destruction Eve. She was currently on her way to assist Gotham’s finest and the heroes. Mainly Nightwing and Robin. Her father had them marked down for death and Rose wouldn’t have that. Nightwing was too important to her. That older brother you wanted but never had, and Robin was her team mate. He had given her a chance when no one would, they were friends.
She’d be damned if her father took any more of her friends away.
Slipping on some black ice, Rose regained her balance and ran down Crime Alley ducking low in the shadows. She pulled out her Titans communicator and called Wonder Girl. She had heard the skinny blonde bitch—teammate… she meant teammate. She had heard her make an emergency call. It was time to respond.
“Wonder Chick, its Ravager. I’m on my way to my father’s location. I’m going to stop him, ” she said firmly almost daring Cassie to stop her. “I have his location pin pointed and his two top targets are Nightwing and Robin oh, and any one else who gets in his way.”
Running across the street she continued. “Unless there’s somewhere I should go first.”

Prometheus Posted: Jan 3, 2007 4:05 AM
Having dispatched the paramedics and the young woman that the Black Canary had just saved, he climbed up on top of some of the multitude of wreckage. The high ground was always the position to have in attack or defense and he planned on doing alot of attacking on that pretty blonde head.
"Oh it's clear alright. Clear of you in about ten seconds!"
Twirling his tonafa, Prometheus lept from his perch on an over turned car directly at Black Canary. Bringing his weapon down with the express intrest in driving it right down and through her skull he grinned, the only part of his face the helmet showed. He hadn't heard anything else yet from any of the other villains so it looked like he was going to get the first Cape kill of the night.

“Hey!” Rose shouted spotting someone causing trouble as they jumped off from a multitude of wreckage. And it looked like who ever they were had it in for… Black Canary. Yea that was Canary. And it looked liked this target had the upper hand on her.
Pulling out a small hunting dagger she aimed it carefully and threw it at her target who was coming into a clearer focus as he moved. It was Prometheus. She remembered seeing him when her father and him had done some business together. Rose didn’t really care for him. He… he kinda freaked her out in a way.
“Hey freak!” Rose shouted throwing another dagger at him. “It’s rude to sneak up on someone!”

Hearing someone from above her Canary's instincts quickly set in and she dodged out of the way of the attack. She turned quickly only to find her assailant had already been knocked away from her. She looked over to the person that had come to her aid, Slades daughter....I wonder if that means her dear old dad is in town. I owe him a few good kicks in the head....
"Thanks but I think I can take this one."
