/qst/ - Quests


This quest takes place in the DC Universe with characteristics mainly pulled from the animated TV series and films.
You are Battery, a teen recently brought in to HIVE Academy by Brother Blood after having seen your powers in action. However, as your time in the school went on you've encountered more threats than answers, including a rumored betrayal from the same man who welcomed you here. Recently you've escaped the clutches of your titanium husk of a father and your blood splattered sister, but there are more dangers lurking in the shadows...

Rules:
-15 Minute voting period after each post, I will now specify how many votes are allowed per post.
-Some actions (typically combat choices against non-generic enemies and certain social situations) will require 3 D100 rolls, using the best of the 3 rolls for said action.
-Critical successes/failures are 100/1

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

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

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

Jinx nods.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

F: [Write In]

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

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

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

She snaps a finger as her sentence finishes trailing off.

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

Jinx sighs, showing you a half frown.

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

You nod.

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

“Good, I'll let the others kn-”

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

“Who's this crud-bucket?!”

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

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

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

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

Gizmo just scowls at you and folds his tiny arms.

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

A: Punt him.

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

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

You smirk at the little gremlin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You smile to yourself, feeling somewhat proud of that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Gotham. You ever been?” You ask.

“No. Have you?”

QUEST DROPPED

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

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

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

Batman.

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

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

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

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

“Make a right into the alley there!”

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

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

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

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

B: “Beat it.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT POST]
>>
>>1914904
The door opens to reveal a bar of some kind.

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

B: Sit with the others and hang out.

C: Get your own seat at the bar and call up Cheshire.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

C: “Please, you couldn't even bench me. My girl and I could wipe the floor with your entire little team!”

D: “Riiight, I'm gonna go then...”

i just entered the thread and didn't scroll down farther, machpunch already translated it from binary but the fact he actually has memories from younger years where he acts like a normal person highly suggests that reno might have actually been a real human being at one point. this means he might very well be in a cyborgesque situation where he got his brain transplanted into a robot body, and then screwed up a bunch because luthor and co.

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

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

He snorts angrily.

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

“... Yes, and it was very enjoyable.”


“... Oh.”

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


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

“What for?” You ask curiously.

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

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

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

Mammoth faces you again, showing a half-smile.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jinx just swallows.

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

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

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

“What can you do, kid?”

A: “HENSHIN!”

B: “Whatever you need me to do, sir.”

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

You shrug.

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

Black Mask just looks at you stone faced.

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

You furrow your brow.

“I-”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Hehhehehe... Hahaha... HAAHAHAHA!”

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

Blackfire's smile only gets bigger.


Black Mask, however, is still calm.

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

You cease your laughing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And she's still smiling.

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

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

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

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

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

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

>>1915660
Well, when he's dead he'll technically be safe from Batman and most of the Rogue's Gallery.
>>
>>1915666

You know it Satan,next up on the agenda: Hiring Scarecrow
>>
So what do you think guys? Should we ditch after this? I kinda want a road trip.
>>
>>1915665
It kinda is?
Instead of apologizing, we laughed and started talking about how tough we are.
>>
>>1915624
jesus
>>
>>1915672
We pretty much burned the bridge to hive at this point, roadtrip with Blackfire I guess
>>
>>1915660
Something something self defense. Maybe the next one will know into not trying to kill his on body guards next time. But hey now we can officialy be i the five since with gizmo dead there is now a opening.

Also we should totaly call her out on that when we are both in private.
>>
>>1915671
>Hiring Scarecrow
For what?
Are we gonna inject ourselves with fear to battle our worst demons in nightmare land.
>>1915673
Hey, we told him we didn't blame him for insulting us and he should have seen our bragging as proof we could handle the job he wanted us to do.
Instead he does something stupid and kills someone.
>>
>>1915678
We gotta pick up our Bro CF first, don't want mask punishing him because of us or using him as leverage over us. We share a lot of the same taste in shows, games..... women. He also has made us some pretty bitchin outfits. I say we grab CF and then we hit the road while teaching him the ways of the swole.
>>
Oh! We should totally take Gizmo's stuff.
>>
>>1915684
Or, OR, maybe, just maybe, we could have talked Blackfire down and apologized. Y'know, the smart thing to do?
>>
>>1915684
>Are we gonna inject ourselves with fear to battle our worst demons in nightmare land.

Now that think of it what would be Battery worst fear? His sister?
>>
>>1915673

It's not like we were lying, we warned him and he did something pretty stupid

>>1915684

I like Scarecrow

>>1915690

Looting a fresh corpse? Anon how dare you? Let's do it
>>
>>1915690
That would trigger the shit out of Jinx.

Do it.

Apologize for what? We did nothing wrong.

Guys, I'm sure Gizmo was caught on security footage somewhere. We can just have Control Freak pull a new one out of a TV.
>>
>>1915706
And we want that...?
>>
>>1915706
Or we can just blow this entire place and put the blame in whoever was comming after BM.

How are you on this Mongolian throatsinging board Black Mask?

>>1915706

But why?
>>
>>1915707
Obviously so jinx and mammoth stop whining about it. It's funny now but it'll get annoying.
>>
>>1915712
>but it'll get annoying.
They'll shut up eventually once his replacement is settled. I suggest the Robin that Joker diddles, I think he's the Robin in Gotham right now.
>>
>>1915724
I sincerely doubt that the tv gizmo will last forever. I don't think that's how it works or control freak would literally have everything he ever wanted
>>
fuck hive, just bounce out take all their money and travel
>>
>>1915724
X-men is Jason anon. The robin that joker killed.
>>
To be fair, I'm starting to feel we've outgrown the hive.

Time to take over the Oni I guess. Reform them, make them more honorberu and less weak.
>>
>>1915712

Then we tell them to get a new friend to replace the shit one

>>1915737

I say we reform it into the Imperial Japan of gangs
>>
>>1915730
I still want to go to space and help Black conquer her home-planet.

>>1915736
I think I missed a thread.

>>1915742
>I say we reform it into the Imperial Japan of gangs
I don't know, I feel like that would involve a lot of rape, and Blackfire might think that's cheating on her.
>>
>>1915737
this. exactly this. Lets just fuck the oni up, screw over hive, make our own crime syndicate, and get a spaceship then conquer the damn galaxy
>>
>>1915742

What like in a Akira?

I'm talking about having it the like the Japanese in WWII
>>
>>1915752
He means red x and no you didn't. Jason todd, the robin that joker crowbarred, is red x in teen titans. This is all background stuff battery doesnt actually know in game, anons just know because it's at least implied in canon.

That'd actually be pretty cool, Intergalactic conquerer is my long term though.

There's a rage boiling deep inside you at the loss of one of your comrades. He might've been a jerk, but the pain it's putting Jinx through is filling you with a thirst for blood.

Black Mask should've apologized.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUqUSe25na4

“HENSHIN!”

“DENCHIIIIIIIIIIII!!!”

In a blinding flash of white lightning you're instantly donned in your suit!

There's no time for Black Mask's men to react, as you quickly extend your right arm-blade and Bolt-Blink across the two guards!

Jinx flinches as the man holding a gun to her head violently jerks, but she opens her eyes only to see Black Mask staring in horror behind her.

She turns her head and sees you standing in a “post-slash” position, your arm coated in sickly smelling blood.

Curiously though, the men appear to be standing upright and perfectly fine, even if the contorted expressions of pain tell another story.

“FLASH-BLADE!”

Right as your belt cries out, a torrent of blood sprays from their torsos, and soon the top halves of their bodies fall backwards as they're finally cut in two!

Blood stains the backs of Blackfire, Mammoth, and Jinx, the latter two frozen in shock of the brutal display you created.

The last thing Black Mask does while alive on this Earth is feel his arm twitch.

And that's enough for Blackfire.

Blackfire menacingly grins as beam of intense purple heat fires from her palm, obliterating what was once Black Mask!

He doesn't even have time to scream, all that he manages to do is jolt his body in a brief moment of pain before his form is turned to ash.

All that's left of Black Mask is a purple fire consuming his desk.

You stand there for a moment, taking in the feeling of death and Blackfire's heat.
You've taken the lives of two people tonight. The first you've ever killed.

You feel somewhat sickened by it, but your anger subdues the churning in your stomach.

That is, until you hear Gizmo groan.

You all spin around to see the small boy slowly sit up from the floor with a hand over his forehead, whining in pain.

“What the crud...”

He removes the green-clad hand to reveal a bullet lodged in the metal frame between the lenses of his goggles.

His beady eyes blink at the sight of his blood covered comrades and the purple bonfire at the desk.

“Uhh... What happened?” He asks.

Well shit. He's alive after all, good job Giz. LET'S GET LOOTIN' BOYZ

Dammit blackfire, we needed Black Mask alive so we could interrogate him for assets to liquidize.
>>
>>1915767
Pretty sure I missed the last thread with Red X in it though. And wasn't the Red X in TT Dick Grayson (TT Robin) brainwashed by Slade? Jason Todd is Red Hood though.

Reno doesn't kill except when it's necessary. I'm ok with that. And I'm also ok with him feeling a little queasy about killing. That's a good thing.

He's making for a fine anti-villain. He doesn't give a shit about strangers and will happily let other lesser villains do so if it furthers his goals but fuck with people he cares about and you're toast.
>>
>>1915777
Kind of hoping that was just a body double, but either way, Hot Damm!
>>
I hope we get a big head over icing one of Batman's villains.

That's immediately shrunk because it puts us on Scarecrow or Bane or someone's radar.
>>
>>1915840
I kinda hate those characters. What a shame...
>>
>>1915799
No, robin(dick grayson) was the original red x and created the red x identity as a new villain/ merc to get in on slade's operation, earning his trust. Later the suit is stolen by a mystery person whose as skilled as robin, his identity is never revealed in series, it's implied to be jason todd and all but confirmed in later shorts.
>>
>>1915840
So basically a Gang boss?

Huh.
Good thing it's running on CN again, I'll have to brush up on it.

I don't remember Black mask using body doubles. Guess we cab pretend to be BM get the unfo of what ge wanted the security and put the blame of his death into then.

Or we could just get the fuck out.
>>
>>1915852
Black Mask is just one of my favorite Villains besides Mr Freeze. Ill accept it if we mercd him, but I would kind of like to see more of him.
>>
>>1915852
>I don't remember Black mask using body doubles
I'm pretty sure it's happened once or twice in the comics.

And in Arkham Origins there's a double for Black Mask, but it turns out that Black Mask was actually murdered and the real Black Mask was the Joker.
>>
>>1915862
Well if that was what happend then fuck we need to kill all the security in this place...or hopefully this was just BM testing the team...hopefully.
>>
>>1915846
I think it shows reno was developing as a character. It seemed like he wasnt able to kill in the beginning yet is slowly developing the capability to do it. At first he'll feel weird about it but eventually he might be able to do it without feeling anything for it. It shows change and I can get behind that, especially seeing where that change takes him.
>>
>>1915872
I mean there's a difference between icing people trying (and failing miserably) to kill him, and killing people that hurt/kill our friends.

“BULLSHIT!” You yell at Kevin, the inferior comic connoisseur across the counter.

He runs a lanky arm under is pimple-covered nose, sniffling.

“Look CF, I'm just sayin' that you can't bet on some guy in a plastic suit to beat up Earth's mightiest heroes.”

“Okay, Keviiiin, they are NOT plastic in CANNON!” You correct him, jabbing a greasy finger under his nose.

“AND There are some Riders that I biotic, like Power-Rider Amazon! So your dumb plastic argument doesn't work.”

“Freak, this whole argument is dumb.” He nasally retorts as he adjusts his reading glasses.

“...But there's no way your dumb Japanese Riders are powerful enough to-”

“OH COME ON! The power levels again?! I told you these guys are strong enough to kick universes apart and-”

Your well thought out and constructed argument is interrupted by the Comic Store's flying in between you both and crashing into one of the display racks, sending well inked comic pages raining across the store.

You and Kevin slowly turn your heads to see a behemoth of a man standing in the broken door frame, covered in metal and leather from head to toe.

The pale, red eyed, muscle-bound biker slowly stomps towards you, his nostrils loudly sniffing the air as he approaches.

“Hey uh... I got something in the back I need to...” Kevin stammers before bolting away from the sales counter.

Your eyes dart back and forth between where Kevin was standing and the monster approaching you.

There's a moment where you think you could reach for your remote before he gets close, but that moment quickly passes as the man hurls a chain at you!

I don't think that's likely anon, though to be fair I don't think that was a double either. Hidden by that grim faced mobster act is a pycho as crazy as the rest of gotham's criminals, it's completely in character for black mask walking around with his entourage thinking he can just start shooting at superpowered mercs and win. He's a cool character but also an arrogant douche

You shriek as the man pulls you forward into his clutches!

As he hoists your pleasantly plump body up by your space-smuggler's shirt collar, your nose is hit with a barrage of death and cigar odors.

You would heave into the messy black dreads of this guy, but you think there's still hope for your love life if you live through this!

He keeps sniffing, his nose pointing him in different directions across your torso.

What is he after? What does he smell?!

All you have is your remote, emergency comic for long toilet sessions, emergency bag of chips for eating while reading during previously mentioned sessions and-

No.

You have your sacred treasure with you! The thing you hunted and risked life and limb for! He can't possibly be after that!

It turns out he is, as he reaches into one of your coat pockets and pulls out your most precious keep-sake!

Held between two of his massive fingers is one of Blackfire's silk, purple panties.

He lets out a frightening growl as his blood red eyes return their focus to you.

“The Main Man might have issues, but you're a sick keezy fatso for stashing a troque's crotch straps in your fraggin' jacket!” He berates with a growl while stuffing the panties into one of his own pockets.

You can't help it. You begin blubbering and crying in his grasp. He's stolen them and now he's going to kill you.

“AH-DUH... AH-DUH WANNA DIEEEE!!! AUUUUHHHGHH!!!” You loudly sob.

“QUIET!” He roars, and the force of his voice causes your handsome face to ripple and go silent.

“Now... You have until the count of BANG to tell me where the troque is...”

As he speaks, he pulls what can only be described as a more sci-fi version of a sawn-off shotgun out and presses the barrels under your chin!

“OR YOU'RE FRAGGED!”

You know that Blackfire and Battery left for Gotham with the rest of the HIVE Five, but Blackfire will kill you if you rat her out!
BUT HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T!

A: “I-I DON'T KNOW! I WANT MY MOMMY!”

“TH-THEY'RE IN GOTHAM! PLEASE DON'T KILL MEEEE!!!!” You desperately squeal.

He rubs his chin with his free hand before speaking again.

“The Main Man is not just The Main Man, he is also a man of his word.”

With that, he tosses you aside into a display rack, toppling you and it over in a mess of scattered pages.

You groan in pain and look up at him, still quaking with fear as he lights a cigar with some strange device.

“Keezy fatso, your pathetic life may continue existing!” He barks before turning away, puffing a huge cloud of smoke before leaving you.

You look down worriedly at your protruding belly as the loud roar of his engine fades in the distance.

What have you done?!

>What brings Space Punisher around here?
Blackfire murdered Glgrdsklechhh, ruler of the Swamp Moons of Drenthx IV after he tried to consummate their marriage with her. The other Drenthaxians put a bounty on her head.

>Who's your favorite member of Batman's rogue's gallery?
Scarecrow easily! I really loved what they did with him in Arkham Knight.
>Favorite Titan?
Cyborg!
>Who was the best Robin, besides Dick? And is Batman currently down a partner now?
Besides Dick is a hard choice, but I suppose I'll go with Carrie Kelley.
>When will Supes's peeps be showing up?
A bit later, I'd say.
>Do we have a barcode from LexCorp tattooed on our ass?
Something like that, but not a tattoo or anywhere near the butt!
>Who will muscle in on Black Mask's territory now?
I'd say Two Face or Penguin. It's been a split between the three.
>Which live action (or Kevin Conroy) Batman is your favorite?
If I have to choose live action I'll always pick Michael Keaton. My dream Batman is Keanu Reeves with a Willem Dafoe Joker.
>How long do you think this will last?

oh hey guys whats...

Well that was a cluster fuck. Dows noone on this board know how to deescalate a conflict without oming across like a wuss?

"she is completely serious sir, she takes respect very seriously. We all do. And though you are paying us we aren't your men. So if you have doubts we can lay those to rest, but only after a simple apology. That way we can get to work with some mutual respect. Im sure a man like you understands that."

DC 42 at highest.

MachPunch was being very merciful, I'd have had him kill Gizmo and Jinx in the bargain.

Honestly I think to de-escalate we needed to be a bit of a wuss. We came into his base of operations and acted like that in front of his henchmen, BM really had no choice but to respond the way he did. He couldn't back down, and to avoid a conflict we needed to so he could regain face.
>>
>>1917652
nah, someone can admit to a small mistake without losing face.

But luaghing in his face and threatening him was unbelievably stupid. Especially since jinx had warned us against that exact thing and told us explicitly what would happen if we fucked up.

But Anons look at it as us just killing some mook, unaware that we have lost Brother Blood further work in Gotham, proven we cant control Blackfire, and possibly hastened Brother Bloods plans to replace us. To say nothing of the fact that the Hive 5 now knows we dont care about their lives and cant lead them.

This was a fuck up no two ways about it.

blackfire did, and Battery's speech was essentially saying "the fuck you gonna do about it punk, try something and she will roast your ass"

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

We never threatened him once. We just laughed at the fact he was sorely underestimating us (which he proved by acting like an idiot and attacking us and our team.)

I guarantee you, we saved face instead of just pussing out.

Other mob bosses aren't going to pull this "your worthless" shit again. Reno knows what he's capable of and isn't going to back down to petty threats. If people want respect they have to show it first. BM learned that the hard way.
>>
>>1918550
why would you brag to someone who your girlfriend just insulted while you are trying to do business?

>>1918753
our entire team now has absolute proof that we will likely get them murdered amd you think we saved face?

Anons have no inkling about diplomacy.
>>
>>1919065
BM: Insults us and our team, rudely asks what Blackfire does.

Blackfire: I can kill everyone in here and I won't if you apologize to Reno.

Reno: Laughs and explains what tamarneans are.

BM: (Instead of just laughing along or taking the highroad like an adult) FUCK YOU, *kills Gizmo.*

Blackfire: Proceeds to do exactly what she said she'd do.

How the fuck were we the ones being unreasonable in this situation?

BM was rude, disrespectful and escalated the conflict from mere words to lethal action and paid the price for it.
>>
im sure bloods gonna be a little miffed but when it gets out that the hive five can take down the heads of organized crime its gonna be booming for business.
We aren't minions you can off or use as fodder, we're the goddamn creme of the crop and our contract prices will reflect that.
>>
>>1919143
We've literally done what Batman couldn't. Other mob bosses will laugh their asses off if they find out what happened to BM.

That being said, we need to salvage the situation as best as possible. Have gizmo extract as much data from any phones/computers here and take responsibility for everything when we get back.

Persuade BB that this works out in his favor. If we succeed, great. If we don't and he tries to kill us, either fight our way out of the hive or take him out too.

The rest of the Hive5 probably would be too intimidated to fight us in the latter case.
>>
>>1919101
We insulted and humiliated a crime lord in his base in front of his men, and refused to back down. We weren't meeting as equals, he was hiring us. We absolutely provoked this. You say "We saved face"? That's dumb. We look like an arrogant idiot who can't be trusted with anything beyond smashing. Have you not considered that Black Mask acted the way he did because he was the one who needed to save face after Blackfire threatened him and we laughed in his face in front of all his goons?

>>1919216
More like what Batman could have but would not do.
>>
>>1919468
If we loot all the information BM has laying around then we can just give that to Blood, one of Gotham's premier crime boss's just gets exterminated in a second after "killing" a merc he hired. When the said merc proceeds to take everything he ever owned or knew about and sold it along with a campaign slogan of, hire us with respect, and your enemies wont beat our best. Hive Academey could make a killing, literally, by keeping actually effective student mercs. We just raised the bar of quality, and our price. For villains that aren't insane/stupid/to egotistical to function in a group, we would be the best damn team they ever had.
>>
>>1919568
You think we can take that attitude? Lobo can, but he's several power levels above us, and goes by best assassin in the universe. Hive 5 was actually effective before, which is why BM hired them repeatedly. Given the choice of hiring a competent and professional team, or an arrogant team you need to walk on eggshells around that can't handle any delicate situations, which one would you hire?

Spoiler: not us
>>
>>1919610
We'll make a new HIVE Five with Blackfire and hookers. Or the more ruthless members of HIVE that haven't gotten on the Five.
>>
>>1919101
>>1919216
>>1919568
the level of arrogant ignorance is astounding.

we were sent to be hired by BM. that was our mission.

we were told EXPLICITLY that the guy was touchy, and liable to kill the squishier members of the team.

So instead of calming things down when blackfire took offense to his legitimate doubts about us we laughed in his face.

we failed the entire mission, and noone in gotham is going to be hiring the hive five for years.

oh yeah, and black outright told then she will
>>
>>1917287
Well while I do agree that there were far better ways to handle the situation, it does fit in character what we did, and MC doesn't always need to be master diplomat. Plus, let's be honest here, the fact you thought that write in would work for black mask, and even put it at a 50 under 50, shows you don't know the character all that well.
>>
>>1919767
>>1919781
Part of the fault does lie with Jinx for letting Battery and especially Blackfire speak for themselves.
>>
>>1919675
The best members of HIVE are already in the 5, we'd be trading skill for ruthlessness. Not ideal.

>>1919781
I guess arrogant idiot is in character for Reno. It's also good to know that I'm a master diplomat because I know better than to laugh in a crime lords face.

>>1919799
Yeah, I guess Jinx should have, hmm, done what to keep us from speaking? Muzzle us? Tell Black Mask we were mute when he asked us a direct question? She already spoke to us before the mission telling us to avoid this exact situation, but it looks like we're so incompetent she needs to do even more of our job. Hey, what she really should have done was not take us on the mission. They're literally better off missing 2 out of 5 members than bringing us along.
>>
>>1919825
She's the Leader, she should have done something besides stand there slack-jawed.

Granted, it is mostly Blackfire's fault, but Jinx has a share of the blame.
>>
>>1919825
Drop the quest if you're going to be so butthurt about it.

I wrote the words (even if I do agree the laughing is retarded). Shit was going to happen because of that nat 1 no matter what. Jinx should have done the talking from the start and kept us from needing too. She didn't. Blackfire was looking to start shit and literally neither person on this group could afford to lose face. WE offered a tentative olive branch and he chose to say :FUCK YOU FOR NOT SUCKING MY CRIMELORD DICK" and chose to shoot someone thinking that he would escape the wrath of a very angry murderous alien. We WARNED him what she was.
>>
>>1919825
nobody cares, this could have just as easily been avoided and sweeped away if we rolled high.
quit your bitching already.
>>
>>1919855
Spess Punisher is gonna kill Blackfire.
>>
>>1919861
Can't they want her alive. She dies eh loses the bounty.
>>
>>1919848
Yeah the only one who's truly blameless here is us.

>>1919855
Yes, we offered him an olive branch by laughing in his face and reaffirming that we could kill him and all his men and there's nothing they could do about it. Also, neither of us could afford to lose face? I guess our e-peen is as important as the loyalty and respect of BM's men.

>>1919857
Not being retarded would have also worked.
>>
>>1919874
Spess Punisher is going to bring Blackfire back to Spess Native America (or whatever Tamaran is an allusion to.)
>>
>>1919767
About the only way to salvage things with the team is to show concern for Gizmo.
But given how anons reacted to the idea of checking in on a guy we tried to bodily drag to the infirmary I doubt that will happen.
>>1919216
>>1919781
We spent the better part of forever trying to avoid killing, this was about as in character as Black Mask doing volunteer work with the disabled.
>>
>>1919888
>>
>>1919888
>Yes, we offered him an olive branch by laughing in his face and reaffirming that we could kill him and all his men and there's nothing they could do about it.

Alternatively we were laughing his pointed and direct insults off and saying we'd paly ball.

As for Rep? YOu get a rep as a pussy bitch in the villain game no one takes you seriously. BM's men are trash, else he'd not have wanted us. You don't treat an expert you hired for their power and knowledge like trash or at best they quit. At worse they kak you.


>>1919897
I think Killing was warranted, blood calls for blood. That said I would expect Reno to do so sparingly and be uneasy about it.

>>1919915

Considering that our side, aka Blackfire, was the one to initiate the threats, it was also on our side to back down and apologize. Also considering that our career is just beginning, we can recover from a rep hit very easily.
>>
>>1919948
>Considering that our side, aka Blackfire, was the one to initiate the threats,

After two direct insults. Not one, two. One can be forgiven but two in rapid succession? He was treating us with contempt, and would keep doing so. Nuh uh no.

>Also considering that our career is just beginning, we can recover from a rep hit very easily.

Not really once you get a label it's HARD to wash it off. first impressions mean a lot.
>>
>>1919957
He was dismissive, but not directly insulting. We were also supposed to weather even direct insults. His mental instability was in the job description. If we didn't want to do it we should have turned down the mission.

>Not really once you get a label it's HARD to wash it off. first impressions mean a lot.

Much harder for BM to wash off the fact that a junior villain talked shit and he not only sat there and took it, but apologized in his own lair, surrounded by his own men. That would ruin him. Anything we did would have been mostly left behind with just his group, and counteracted by the fact that we were able to maintain a professional attitude. Not to mention that we still have new powers to develop, it's a lot easier to wash off the past when you're getting more powerful. Dynamics change. Black Mask doesn't have that option.

Ok, so we kill the rest of the henchmen next thread so they don't blab?

Better get Gizmo, Jinx, and Mammoth too just to be sure.

Why don't you just kill yourself and make it easy? Because you've finally crossed the threshold from partially justifiable anger to full retard.

I will bitch about heat.
I will bitch about cold.
I will bitch about sunshine,

I will bitch about everything,
inside and out.
You will find there is nothing
I can't bitch about.

This is a laugh. Hope joker hired us or we get expelled and go solo

Going solo would mean less battery checks when the Joker shoots us for shits an giggles.

>>1926877

I'm pretty sure Joker would find Black Mask's death quite amusing given how it played out.

Please, the guy is probably in stitches right now.
