Tim Drakes Sleep Habits Save The Earth
Willam briskly walked to the front door, he didn’t run as running brings the wrong sort of attention. He nodded at a few coworkers he passed on his way but didn’t stop to talk like he would normally. It was the most stressful walk to the front gate he had ever done. The base was the main headquarters for the GIW it was also the largest with 13 basements and 3 stories high the Security office was in the middle of the ground floor with a back up security office on sub floor 4 if Ghost ever attacked and the base was compromised. It was important to get to the Heros before they broke any of the outside door. That would start a lockdown sequence and while he had no doubt that he would be able to hack in and disengage the…
Something in the air shifted and he Ducked in time for a Wingding to go flying over his head. Doing a half roll he sprung up to fight to come face to face to an angry Nightwing. Seeing that the heroes were already in the building he spread out his hands in surrender. Seeing Nightwing ready to pounce on him he started to talk fast.
“If you’re here for Phantom he is in sub level 7, room 713. The other Ghosts are on sub levels 6,8, and 9. Sub Level 10 is for chemical analysis they will not keep Ghosts there. 5 is for organic experiments but the main Doctor is out of town so there shouldn’t be anyone there. Sub level 4 is where you will need your Hackers as that is where the back up security hub is at and where the nastiest security systems can be activated. Sub level 1, 2, and 3 are technology and weapon development and testing. Leve 1 is where the main security office is Frank is there and will help any of you get in and level 2 and 3 are Offices.” Willam took a deep breath as he somehow managed to get that all out without pausing.
Nightwing blinked, not that anyone saw it with his mask, if he didn’t grow up with speedsters, he might have had some trouble understanding everything the agent had just told him. “O, did you get everything he said?”
“It checks form what I was able to access some files are giving me some trouble, so I didn’t know the exact room Phantom was in.”
William fidgeted a little. He knew that Nightwing was talking to Oracle as he had heard about her work before he figured it would be better to explain why he was helping now before he was asked. “My Babby was in Auschwitz she told us what happened to her and my family. Once me and Frank realized what was going on we started to help in small ways to keep the ghost safe.”
“That was one of the worst things I have ever seen in the world of man. It puts my mind at easy to see that the world of man is learning from the past” said Wonder Woman
William nearly had a heart attack as he spun around. He had not seen nor hear Wonder Woman and a woman with black feathers sneak up behind him. For a Large woman she was surprisingly quiet on her feet “My Babby spoke Highly of you, she even met you when you helped free the camp her name was Ruth Goldberg.”
“Toots, she still lives?” Wonder Woman exclaimed a little surprised.
“Yes, and if I didn’t help you, I would never be able to look her in the eye again.”
“Do you have a key card to the power grid?” asked Nightwing.
“Yes, but you would do better getting into the secondary security hub first to cut the power if you use the main one it will work for about ten minutes then activate the more fatal measures.”
Nightwing looked at something over Williams Sholder “You got all that RR?”
For the third time William was nearly startled into an early grave as Red Robin appeared out of the little shadows in the corner of the hallway. “I’ve got it if you would mind taking me to the secondary hub your friend Frank helped me upload a Program to open all the doors.”
“How the Hell did you all get in here so fast?”
“Speedsters” all the heroes said at once.
“Everyone huddles around me. They didn’t make the floors and walls outside the cells phase proof, so I’ll be acting as an elevator and even if they had they have yet to come up with a way to stop Death.” Morrigan gave a toothy smile as she grabbed Willams shirt as the others huddled around her not letting him really think about what she had said meant.
While The infiltration Crew was heading down to Sub level 4 and 7, the others were getting into place avoiding cameras and knocking out any agent they accosted. They were waiting for the, all clear signal for the security to be taken down before going all out, nobody wanted to deal with potential hostages. Hence why they were being slightly cautious with their initial attack.
There was a sight crackling of an intercom turning on. “This is Red Robin from the Justice Leage you are breaking Interplanetary Law you have 1 Minute to surrender before you will be taken in for questioning. Those that do not surrender will be taken in with extreme precedence, this will be your only warning.
Fright Knight looked at his sister “Your young Knight works as fast as Pharo Tucker impressive.”
Lady Gotham preened “My Knights are the best in their chosen fields.”
“Minute is up if you haven’t surrendered you asked for it. JL, Lanterns, and people of the realms you are free to commence.” Red Robin turned off the power.
The Heroes attacked, it was one of the most brutal fights the JL had been in without it being an active invasion. Many of the heroes had helped get the Meta protection acts to pass and several of the treaties that allowed Earth to participate in Galactic politics and trade this was a slap in the face for everything they had done. Not to mention the fact they were torturing a child king somewhere in this building. A lot of the heroes were spitting mad.
The Agents who had not surrendered were lucky if it was just one bone that was broken, and some might have said that death would have been kinder but in this case they wouldn’t. Death was just as mad at them as the living for what they had done.
Morrigan, after dropping off Red Robin and William too get control or the security room and Wonder Woman to Guard them started to head to sub floor 7. They were able to get to level 5 but was not able to go intangible past level 6. The GIW were morons but some of them did have brain cells to rub together sometimes. The Elevator was shut down so, the stairs it was and of course 713 was on the opposite side from the stairs. It gave her a chance to use her blackthorn shillelagh on the deserving agents at they got in her way to her family out or all the people on this rescue raid she was the only one with enough strength and bonds to summon Frostbite and Clockwork to Phantom once they are able to get in the room.
Nightwing looked like he was Flying as he danced around the halls using his escrima stick to get any agent that dared to try and get back up after one of her hits. “I thought Death used a scythe.”
Morrigan shifted to doge a blast “I do but I’m trying not to kill them. Phantom will have to deal with the paperwork of me taking souls before they are meant to move on, and I am meant to be kind. These morons will not be getting any kindness from me anytime soon for life makes you suffer.” She emetized this point by breaking an agent’s femur before knocking them out.
“Come on we are almost at his room” Nightwing pointed at the room number reading 711.
The distraction cost them as a bolt hit Morrigan in the hip taking a good chunk out of her leg and torso. Her scream was like a banshee’s scream nocking out the men in from of her. She Growled in pain “That’s it no more nice Death!”
“Mamó!” Nightwing exclaimed rushing over to her side taking out a med kit to try and patch the bleeding. It was then that he noticed the sound he looked around trying to find the source of the sound of wings. It was different than the sound of the bats in the cave but whatever was making the noise there was a lot of them. The caws of crows started a few moments after the sound of flapping wings.
Morrigan form started to warp. There were millions of black feathers, teeth, claws, a few to many eyes and skeletal/ feathered hands. Nightwing knew enough about gods to know not to look at their true form turning his head to look at her from the corner of his eye. One of the many feathered hands grabbed him as he tried to resume first aid. “Leave it I’ll heal soon and we need to secure Phantoms room he needs one of his Fraid or extended Fraid with him as soon as possible. It will take more than a shot to Kill Death. My Crows will get the rest of them”
“Are you okay to be moved?”
Morrigan snorted “Of course I can move” and to prove a point she shifted taking Nightwings hand to get up getting herself into a more mortal friendly form and hobbled forward to the room. The blackthorn shillelagh shifted into the scythe Nightwing had been asking about not even 15 minutes earlier. Agent O and K were in the room with Danny, and they were going to be facing the courts of the Dead before the day was out.
Walking up to the only close door on this floor Morrigan Braced herself as she kicked the door down balancing herself on a half regenerating hip. It was not a pleasant sensation, but she knew Nightwing would not have been able to get the reinforced door down. He was still a baby Liminal and most of his developing gifts went to flight and flexibility. Unlike his younger brother Jason who was developing durability and superhuman strength.
With a slight grunt of pain as her foot connected and opened the door Nightwing threw a smoke bomb in once the door opened. Letting her feathers form a parody of a short cloak she stepped into the room scythe gleaming in the light and smoke. “Kevin Mark Borden and Oscar Adams you have committed crimes agents Death and Time you will not escape from me!”
Oscar tried to shoot her but, she was expecting it using the flat of the scythe they deflected the blast back to them. It ended up hitting Kevin causing a burn on his suit and arm. Most GIW had been around ectoplasm enough to start to develop as Liminal meaning that not only had they committed a crime on the family of the endless they had also committed treason on their tentative statice as a member of the infinite realms. Taking two daggers from her pocket and threw them at them, they had a similar curse on them as the Soul Shredder except instead of the nightmare realm they would be sent to the dungeons of the Kings keep.
They vanished as the knifes hit their center mass Nightwing made a sound of distress. “Don’t worry I didn’t kill them I sent to a cell to await trial.”
“You had those this entire time and didn’t use them?”
“I have a limited supplies and they deserved it” Morrigan shouted over her shoulder as she raced over to Danny. She hissed as the shackles burned her as she tried to free him. “Nightwing I need you to get this off him they are hurting him and I can’t get them off myself.”
Nightwing ran over to the table taking the lock-pick out of his belt and started to open the shackles and muzzle. “Hey Kid just hang on we will have you out in a few.”
Morrigan watches this and talks into her coms “we have the kings room secure let us know when we’re in the clear to get the retrieval team in.”
