Deco's Story

Thirteen and Deco

The streets of Gotham

Thirteen shifted her attention to the scene below her, observing the humans as they crowded around each other. She stood at the top of the largest skyscraper, concealed with Deco's concealment magic. The two of them, to any other person would appear as if they were not there. She was not familiar with any of the people below her, though names would ring a bell. "That one looks like a pain." Deco said from beside her, looking down at a pink haired female. Deco has been the only person she had any kind of real human interaction with, and he was also the one who had taught her most human things. Though she was half human, she was born only a year ago - in an underground facility. What worked in her favor was her ability to pick up knowledge immediately, like learning a language overnight, and the inability to forget. Deco shoved his has in his pockets, though the people beneath him would look like mere dots to most, his vision allowed him to see them as if they were right beneath him. "If the self-proclaimed heroes are stupid enough to turn against one another, then let them destroy each other." His tone was nearly monotone, he wasn't amused. He and Thirteen had come here after following the suspicious female and her accomplice, but hadn't expected so many others to throw themselves onto the scene first.

Thirteen tilted her had slightly, the two of them had chosen to observe for the time being, staying unseen on the ledge of the building. "Their actions are unfavorable to those around them." Thirteen said to Deco. "Civilian death probabilty should they get in the middle is quite high." Deco didn't respond, but instead stared off into oblivious with a bored expression on his face. "One is not human." Thirteen stated. "Oh, interesting." Deco responded, getting into a crouched position watching the two males face off against one another. "Now that doesn't solve our problem does it?" Thirteen looked down at him and back to the people beneath her, the one that wasn't human peaked her interest. However, that wasn't too important at the time being, right now, two villains as society called them - or possible villains were going to get away if she didn't stop them now. The fact the two heroes were facing off towards one another caused her to lose a lot of hope for this day and times society at large. They needed to get their priorities straight. However, she would not argue with this subject, she in fact did not like to work with others, teams were beyond her - Deco was the only person she could fight beside. "Lets go."

The two were then teleported to the street below, a small distance from the others. At this moment, the two were made visable. While neither of them had particular super hero costumes, Thirteen wore a decorative outfit, one of which she would change on occasion. While Deco, just wore a black jacket, white tank top and black jeans with various chains. "You two are in the way." Deco said to the guys in front of them. "Go be idiotic elsewhere." somehow he said this with a straight face. "Thirteen's eyes wandered over to the pink haired girl, her left arm turning into a thin sword and her right into a large one - which looked impossible for her to manage. "I have no interest in anyone but you."

"Just remember this then Air-Runner, you decided to be a little baka about this whole thing." Ronin stated. With that Ronin flew forward to give him a square punch to the Air-Runner's face in attempt to send him flying, when all of a sudden his left wrist then started to flash and blare at him.

"My five minute warning! Shoot!" he muttered to himself. "Gotta jet once I whack this guy's head into gear." As he said this he then noticed that there were a few other people coming in to investigate the problem. "Or I can just jet now, four's something but six is definitely a crowd in my book."

With that he looked at Air-Runner and simply stated. "We'll fight each other another time. Just remember Air-Runner, don't barrel into trouble while I'm around. I fully intend to pick up where the Justice League left off and I don't want a berserk street fighter hurting any innocent people on the sidelines. I have enough on my plate as it is."

Ronin then flew in the direction of Wayne Enterprises and landed in an alley to change into his normal clothing and return to rushing to work as Akira Autoro. "I better hurry before my boss decides to tan my hide inside out!" he muttered before running to the employee's entrance as fast as he could.

"Coward..." Daisuke snarled, "...there is no Justice League. There never is and there never was!!! There are no such things as 'Heroes' in this world, I thought you figured that out..."

Air-Runner descended to where there are four strangers. The two new ones seemed friendly, the others, not. Either of the two seemed interesting enough to make him consider joining them. But he had no time for joining sides. He still had some anger left in him that he wanted to unleash, but both sides seemed...hostile. It would be fun.

"Well," Air-Runner said, still mad, "what are you doing here?!"

Hex and Edge watched silently as the two "heroes" began arguing. The witch rolled her eyes and looked over at Edge.
"Don't they know that we're the bad guys?" She asked, obviously annoyed. Edge just shrugged his shoulders, but his attention was caught by the pink haired girl and her dark companion.
It was like looking into some strange mirror and that made Hex laugh.

"I think their jacking our style, Edge." She said, chuckling madly. But when the girl's arms turned into swords, the witch stopped. "Edge, I think we found a power source."
Out of the corner of her eye she saw him nod at her. One of the heroes left, but the other stayed. "One, two, three, four..." Hex counted. She looked over to Air-Runner and grimanced. "Five. I just hate odd numbers." She lifted her hand to him and sent out a powerful blast of pink energy, sending him tumbling into an alley behind him.

She turned her attention back to the couple in front of her. "That's very flattering." she said smiling. "Did, you hear Edge? She's only interested in me."
She snapped her head back to the girl. "I'm sorry, Hun, but I don't swing that way. But you can have my friend, Edge. Just a warning, he likes to bite."
Edge opened his mouth to reveal his canines, long and sharp. He took out his deck of cards and selected two that he thought would suit a battle like this. He dropped them on the ground and put his deck away. A large wolf jumped out of one of the cards, with long black fur and eyes that glowed with an unearthly fire. It opened it's mouth to snarl and molten lava dripped onto the floor like saliva. A white mist leaked from the other card and the the upper body of a woman was visable. She was young and pale, with long fair hair. She wore a grey gown that was tattered and ripped. Her silver eyes stared out at the young man.
"Sorry." Darkedge said to the other boy. "Attack." His Hellhound leaped at the boy, while the woman stayed back to see what would happen.

Hex snapped her fingers and a pink machine gun formed in her hand. She threw it up in the air, where it floated and aimed itself at the strange girl.
"Bang Bang." Hex said and made a motion with her hand, as if she was pulling the trigger of the gun, which sent out a spray of bullets in the girl's direction.

"Right on time." Gabe said with a smile as he entered Wayne Enterprises in a nice suit. He had a job interview and he was not planning to walk away without a job.

Thirteen didn't quite understand what the girl had said, a blank expression remained on her face, though she heard Deco snicker beside her. "Swing what way?" She had never heard this before, and it had went completely over her head. And her colleague liked to bite? That was hardly a good fighting technique, she wondered why someone would bite another person. The boy had long and sharp canine teeth, which she examined for a moment, as if taking interest. He then took our what looked like playing cards and lay two upon the ground, but up from them, two creatures sprung - one which reflected the appearance of some kind of human. Mmmm, interesting. Deco thought to himself. I've never quite seen that before, but how are you without your cards? Thirteen watched the wolf appear from out of the card, wolves were beautiful creatures, she had a pained expression on her face for a split second. However, most wolves she had ever came across didn't have lava saliva. Deco has briefly heard a sorry from the boy before he sicked his creature at him. No you're not, he thought to himself. The wolf then jumped at him and Deco held out his hand, making the wolf be knocked back and roll over a few times due to the transparent force field. It seemed that concurrently, Thirteen was also attacked.

She looked at the bullets which came towards her, but before they hit her, they were pulled to the ground, as was the floating weapon itself. The weapon then seemed to slowly destroy itself becoming a contorted piece of metal. The wolf was what she had to worry about now, it came charging back at Deco, until it was pulled into the air and float their for a moment. Gravity then pulled him in two opposite directions, up and down. He whined loudly, making that expression appear on her face again, and lava dropped from the air landing in front of her. "I don't like...hurting your creature." she said. "Why are you here? Why do you want a power source? I will not let you harm the innocent people here, it's pathetic of you to attack the defenseless." Deco sighed, power source, they wanted a power source. Nothing good could come from that. He was immediately annoyed by the people in front of him. His eyes wandered to the pink haired girl, the boy obviously did whatever she told him. Therefor the girl was the most threat, and the girl seemed to have the need to match herself with Thirteen and himself with Mr. card trick over there. He felt bad for Thirteen, she hated hurting innocent creatures, though to him that thing was more of a monster and less than innocent. At the same time, it did have a master that controlled it.
