Warth talks to a senator

Wrath


:: We see one of the Wrath's agents talking with a Congress man. He's a crooked congress man. They sit in a large room. Looks like his office. He has a cherry wood desk. And a large black LEATHER Chair. The woman in the chair across from him is dressed in a nice business suit. He's in a typical pollution suit. HE hands her some city plans as she hands him a brief case.With Money in it,. In the shadows watching this is Wrath. He sees them threw the french doors the Pollution has. He has some thing in his hand a camera as he watches. ::

Lady," Thank you for the plans senior. We shall put these to good use."

Senter," That;s fine enjoy em. It's a lay out of the cities fault lines just like you asked."

Lady," Remember to be out in 3 week we shall be planting the 4 atom bombs we have in these places. "

Senter," Worry not I have my escape route worked out. And thank your boss for the money."

Lady," I'll do that."


::She looks at the map.::

Lady," Well every thing looks in order. It's been nice doing buisness with you. I shall see you latter."

Senator," Good doing business with you too. Heck who needs Gothem when you have green backs? This sec pool was the worst place of my career. With this money I can relocate to Motroplios and restart my career. Even better with Gothem blown to *beep* I can look like a victim as the pour congress man whom just luckily took his vacation at the right time."

Lady," You have to love the political system. Good day Senitor."

Senator," Yes you do. See you lady. please blow this *beeping* crime ridden cess pool to *beep*.And frankly the people of Gothem can just blow...well you get the idea. "


Lady," Good day sir."

::She leave the office as the Wrath sneaks off into the shadows.::

Elsewhere in the building, there was a robbery taking place. This particular senator enjoyed collecting fine works of art, some labeled at being worth upwards of two million dollars. The robber walked past many of these abstract, valuable works until she reached her desires score. It was far less valuable, according to the art critics.

She's never been that big into the art scene, anyway.

Snatching the small statuette called "Feline in Repose", she stuffed it in her back-pack and...purred. Back flipping across the laser security grid, the cat burglar was once again at the window, leaping out into the shadows and ready to make her flight.

Only she hadn't counted on the shadows outside this senator's office already having an occupant or two.

"OOF!" responds the voice of the woman the cat burglar just landed on. What the?! Why was she standing there?

The thief turned to dash off, but her night-vision goggles told her to only take two steps. Standing before her was a large man. The burglar gave a fake laugh.

"Well, Batman, we meet--Who?!"

Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, stepped back, hand on the grip of her whip. When she looked up at this mysterious man's face, she knew this was not Bruce.

"Who are you?!" she asked, removing her whip and holding it at the ready.

((Just a note: I am not Catwoman's player. She is currently NPC. So anyone can respond to this thread and act/speak for Catwoman. Thanks!))

Wrath

::Wath looked at Cat Woman and smiled. He put his camera away. The theif was some times posed to heroics. Still, what she didn't know didn't matter. He kept weapons on his utilty belt ready if he needed them. But, he wasn't going to fight her if he didn't need to.::

Wrath,"What's in a name? Does not a rose by any other name smell just as sweet? Orson Wells said that. I think it still has meaning. Bat Man? You can call me the opposite side of the same coin. No that's two over used I suppose. I'm not here for you Selina, oh don't acted surprised. Your Rap sheet has your name listed on many of the Police top ten. I'm impressed. Not one to like "the Man" are you? Well, the police. The true confederacy of Dunces. If you must call me some thing Cat Woman, you may call me Wrath. Anti-Bat-Man. Still it is mealy a Nom decor. No real matter. you will give Bats my greetings won't you? Haven't seen him in a long time. Detective Bulock seems to be doing well, since that day. Nice Cat-O'nines tail."

::He looked at her weapon. He stayed at a defensive stance. An Aki-juitsu pose. He had studied many forms. His men were setting up the next part. He had sent a copy of his tap to his hide out already. the signal scrambled so many times it would be hard to trace.::

Wrath,"I'm not one of the heroes. If that's your worry. Nor do I care about steeling. I presume your here for a caper. "

::He tried to smile pleasantly. Wasn't one of his better emotions. His costume nor the Goatee fit it. Added to that the short hair. And his Bat Man like costume. With the Bat signal with an X threw it. He was watching the pieces of his puzzle fit together. And he was happy to at lest say hello to Cat Woman. He hadn't planed to meet her here. Still, may as well, make introductions. People knowing he was in town was probity for the best. He calculated how to best use his presence being known. Huntress knew he was here. But, right now Huntress was in Arcume. Every one thought Huntress was Doula Dent. Even if Huntress jaw wasn't broke. Who would be live The Joker's daughter? Still, that was another matter. At the moment he was mearly talking to Cat Woman.::

Wrath," Night time it seems to be the best time to obsurve human behaver. After all. Most act as they truly are under the cover of night. Thinking in the sun it is easer to be seen. But, the cover of night only hides so much in the light of the moon light."

Catwoman didn't know how to judge this guy. Clearly he was up to something, but he wasn't starting a fight. still gripping her whip, she stepped back, over the lady she landed on, then took off. Or so it seemed, at least.

In truth, the Feline Fatale darted out of site, but then jumped, flipped, and hopped up to the roof. Peering down secretly, she watched as the mysterious, poetic man and his female accomplice left the premises. She was curious what this fellow was up to.

Of course, curiousity and cats never did mix well...

Wrath


:: He watched as Cat Woman jumps out of sight. He rases an eye brow. He helps his Gang member up.::

Wath," Did you get it?"

Woman," Yes here it is."

::She hands him the plans. He mearly opens it enough to ware the word city pl...are seen. But, enough to know in her bump Cat Woman had not taken them. He looked around. He had Bat Man's Radar. Or a verson of it. He put the planes in his boot. Making sure the Senator never saw him. ::

Woman ," That b>>!"

Wrath," Actually I found her quite interesting. Smart enough not to start a fight unless necessary, yet able to show force. A good eloquence of motion. I can see what, Bats sees or saw in her. "

::The Woman looks shocked. But, Sir you can't posbly think much of that.. that coman cat burger."

::HE stands there folds his arms he stands near the woman. He narrows his eyes. He grimness his mouth. And looks almost statute esc. And hard look on his face. His body flexed a bit. To impose, but not looking it. He looks like the meanest bouncer ever. In fact one can call this his version of the "Bat Man look" The woman shock a little and then became silent.::

Wrath," Never, under estimate any of them. This is Gothem. They survive under Bat Man by being strong. Rember he is like me only good. Well, what ever the world preserves as good. Sucjh notions are for God and others. Not for us mere Mortals. I am here for my revenge on the Police force. Nothing more. Sides I am not Bats./ I have no need to be to much like him. Though quite fetating. I see Sealina Kyle as another peace to the puzle. Though I know why Bats distances him self From Cat Woman, Huntress, Taila etc. And whom ever, he fears those he cares for Dies. And he can't let any in But, the Robin. Either his son or sarget son. Or he fits his lost child hood. Granted I presume it was a lost one. Our similarities make me believe we have that much in coman. Though I have little idea whom he is. No matter. I preferred to consternate on the Police and my revenge on them! Twop heros are in this buisness and he is not, well a hero and a some what hero. An Anti hero I sapose. The other does not matter. Bulock and the cops do rather the cops. Why should I pegon hole my revange? I like the far reaching target better.

Though he stood in my path once. He is not my main goal. Still, who knows when were done with Huntress re breaking and remaking. She might be...useful to me. A queen to my legacies of Dirt and pain. Still is phaze too set in motion?"

::The woman quickly re sets her self. The fear gone. He put them threw he** to be to his standereds. As such they can easily regain composure. ::

Woman," Yes sir. They are set as you asked. We can then use the papers you have to set the next motion. "

Wrath," Good."

::He has a scanner in his belt he sends the papers threw them not opening them. And sends a copy threw his wireless e-,mail connected to his belt to his gang. Though he is hidden in his cape. And trees. Nothing he is doing can be seen. The woman stands in front of him so he's not seen. He then stands. Papers still in his boot.Un seen at all hidden in his boot. He puts his utility belt back on. He smiles a twisted smile. ::

Wrath," Call the others tell them to set thoughs things on stand by. And in a moment we shall go to make sure they place phaze three right ware these papers have it. Is Huntress still in pocket?"

Woman," Yeas sir.'

Wratjh," Good. That which Gothem's heroes shun a fellow darkened hero maybe the key. Little to do with my plan, but hey some times a flair for the dramatics is called for. After all I am Anti Bat Man. Have to build on deferences. Can't be a perfict replica. But, if I push away to much I may become that which I rebel from. "

Woman," So why try to learn so much about the Gothem heroes?"

Wrath," Sun Tzu put it best. know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal.If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War. Who am I to argue with Histories greatest mind on battles? Still, the plan is in motion. Let us watch as the pedal em swings back and forth. Let us watch as GPD fears the call of Attica. Attica. As they are left helplessly as Gothem crumbles. And by a unique take on a pincer moment. Well, on a much larger level. No troupes used. Technology at it's finest. From the second world war. And Ragen's version of the movies. Well, it was reality. History in realty birthed from thoughts of celluloid.. Yet in perfect alignment with Patton's ideal military movement. And my own twist. And then the wagon. Hmm, I've said enough. Steping threw the rain drops. As we watch London Bridge fall down. "

Woman," Yes sir. But, I know all this. Why restate it?"

::Wrath smiles a moment.::

Wrath," For prosperity.Still, now that Cat Woman is a player in this game. I wonder is she the Spider or another Fly? Should be intresting."

(OOC: Hope I wasn't to ovace with some of what's going on.)

((Just a note: I am not Catwoman's player. She is currently NPC. So anyone can respond to this thread and act/speak for Catwoman. Thanks!))

The curious thief trailed the duo for a while, staying back and out of sight, but wondering what this new character was up to. She unfortunately didn't hear much of the conversation. She didn't like what she did hear, though. Something about the Huntress?

That annoying voice inside of her was speaking up. She should look more into this. Why? There was nothing in it for her but danger. She tried to ignore her inner heroine, but she just couldn't drowned her own.

Wrath


::Wrath smiled his twisted smile. He looked up a second then back at the woman.He waited as he got conformation back his mentions got the plans. ::

Wrath," So tell me is the package being de leaved in all of the places?"

Woman," Yes sir. Including under the ground were standing on. Their being. "installed" as we speak."

Wrath," Good. It's about time sides the plan is going perfectly. Almost moving like a Colt. You have to admiore the craftsman ship that goes into that gun. I don't use guns myself. Well, much after all my parents were shot down by the police in Crime Alley. Hmm, I may change that. For the easy to under stand reason. But, not just yet. Still, the fact that Colt got the idea for the cylinder from looking at a ships steering wheel is just rear intellect. A true gift from God. I'm impressed he did that. The way each peace works together so well. Colt guns rarely jam. Just a perfect weapon, much like my plan. I watch as each peace slowly winds together. A peace at the time. till like the gun firing the bullets it goes bam. And yet to the eye it's a blink of a second. Yet it all seems to work together perfectly. the trigger sends a message to the hammer to the cylinder which moves then the hammer hits the next bullet sending it threw the chamber and out the barrel intro the world and bam. Death is usually instantaneous. "

Woman," That's true sir."

::Wrath pulls out a remote from his belt. And moves a few small joy sticks. Helooks at a tinny monitor. ::

Wrath," Good their in place. Are the cameras there for prosperity?"

Woman," Yes sir their set to...other ones to film it. By remote. The cameras will capture it all as you've ordered sir."

Wrath," Very good. Is the first package set in the abounded section of Gothem for the test run?"
Woman," Yes sir. It's set in a small part that no one goes to save a few bums and those
with very little money."

Wrath," Good. Sad to have to test it there. Would rather a place with more Cops. Still aren't there a few beat cops there?"

Woman," Only one are two, but their there. As well as a few under covers in the drug section of that town."

Wrath," Sad to hurt the business men too, but oh well. That's the part of a good test. Sometimes the lab rats die too."

Woman," Yes sir.But, why the small area they call Zeburville?"

Wrath," Have to test some ware that even the crime fighters in Gothem won't care about. But, have to kill a lot. A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic
- Joseph Stalin. It was also said, Life is only error,And death is knowledge- Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller. Still, time to test it. As we walk into the worlds test of life and death and kiss the blade. And wonder were the milk and honey is as we only test death and bitter failure "

::He turns on Ice T's Cop killer on his MP-3. He pushes the button. As in space two satellites aim at Zeburville. Which is so far on the outskirts of Gothem, it's bearly saw as Gothem. Still, it's there. As beams fire from the satellites at them. People panic as the beam fires at them killing them. 1,000s of name less face less people. As some tried to run to safety , but which there hitting a mushroom clod explodes. Right under their feet. The atomic boom explodes as two satellites fire their beam at the little out skirts that was known only as Zeburville. Wrath watches this on his TV screen. Since he was filming it. A few dirty Cops had helped give them the info about Zeburville and helped them place the boom. He had them leave before the explosions he was killing honest Cops.::


Wrath," Today, Zeburville tomorrow all of Gothem!"

Huntress

::After talking to a few snitches. Interrogating a few criminals. And checking the web. On her portable computer. She finds one of Wrath's men. She follows him in the shadows. Like a Lioness following her prey. A female Vulture on the trail of an animal that's about to die. As she slowly stalks him. Making very little noise. He's there to tell Wrath that the pacages are all set up threw out Gothem. Having used the city plans. He was told to run to him at thid time. He wasn't;t sure why. But, it was Wrath's plan. So he simply did it. As he ran threw the trees till he got to ware Wrath was. He looked to Wrath. As Huntress stayed in the trees behind him. making sure she wasn't seen.::

Man," Wrath sir, all of the Packages have been delivered and are now in place."

Wrath," Good. Now only a few more peace's need to be set."

::Huntress watched in the shadows still stuck with the odd body paint. And hair coloring of white. and green. She watched as Wrath and his man spoke. She saw the woman was with him. And another in the trees. She wondered why. She watched the Wrath again, but kept an eye out for the other players. She was back in her Huntress costume. Siring back watching. Yet her ordeal in Arcame was bad. It took a lot more than a few bad days to change a strong rutted person,. but Huntress had tons of them. Archem hadn't helped calm her at all. It had made things worse. She looked on with anger. And with Sal's death she was ready to beat Wrath like a drum. How much death could she take? How many things could she sit threw like this? Wrath looks to both members of his gang. ::

Wrath,"…no plan of operation can extend with any prospect of certainty, beyond the first clash with the hostile main force. Only a layman can pretend to trace throughout the course of a campaign the prosecution of a rigid plan, arranged beforehand in all its details and adhered to to the last. All successive acts of war are therefore not pre-mediated executions but spontaneous acts guided by military tact.
- Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke, "the Elder"

::He smiles for a second.::

Wrath," Having said that. I think this will all turn out well. All the peaces are falling into place. As rage takes on a form. As the thin vale wall from hero and villain becomes torn. Let them guess at the peruse and the one behind it. Watch as every cop starts to wonder how long before they pay for what they did to me and mine. "



::Huntress thought him a mad man this Wrath. You can't blame all cops for what one or two did. Sides his parents weren't innocent by standers. They were criminals. They were killed before they killed a cop. Detective at the time Officer Bulock did all he could. It was his life or theirs. He had taken the boy to a shelter till family could be found. Huntress found all this out by researching it. she had to open some closed files in the Gothem PD Main frame. She'd been paying notice to what Babs did on the computer and was learning. To survive in Gothem a crime fighter had to adapt. So she picked up new skills. As she stalked the criminal. UNDER WORLD. She watched in the shadows As she planed out her strategy. Just jumping in might be bad. ::

Huntress

::Huntress jumps down firing a few arrows taking out Wrath's men. She fires one at Wrath and he dodges it. He smiles as she misses him. The Lady and man are taken out of the picture. As she lands on the ground. Still stuck with that smile on her face. And the broken jaw. She's in her Huntress uniform, but she's stuck with the white body paint and green hair. She can't get rid of it yet. She will latter. It will fade. Right now she was facing down Wrath. She aimed her cross bow at him. He smiled.::

Wrath," Even if you beat me I've already won. You just have not realized that just yet. "

::She would say some thing, but her jaw is still broken. But, she fires a few bolts at him. He responds with a few Wrath-a-rangs. A few hit her as he moves closer. Yet she fires on a few bolts they hit him. This was to be the battle of this moment. She threw a jump kick hitting him in the face. As she landed he hit her with an upper cut. Her feet weren't firmly planted this knocked her down. But, she recovered and kicked him in the right knee. Knocking him down. He fell on top of her. he put her in a chock hold with his for arm. And kissed her. If her jaw wasn't broke she'd spit at him. ::

Wrath," Why work for those whom don't appreate you? The Bat family would be rid of you if they could. Gothem for all your trying wouldn't miss you for a second. While I could use you. We'd make a lovely couple. Why give to a city that hates you? And heroes that see you as a nuance? "

::She poked him in the left eye with a cross bow bolt. She then put his wrist in an aki juistu wrist lock. And pushed on the nerves in his elbow joint. Freeing her neck. She then moved her legs and body right to counter brace his hold. she trapped the leg nearest her with both her legs and used it to slip from under him. Pushing against the nerves in his legs. He got the bolt out of his eye in time as she pulled his arm back twisting the joint in his shoulder using the wrist lock she had to push him down she then pivoted behind him. And put this arm in a hammer lock. After replying pressure to the nerves in the front part of the elbow. She then put her knees into his hips. She then moved her left arm around his neck. putting her hand in almost a palm strike, but she wasn't striking. she used the back of her hand against his mandibular on the oppest side of his face. And pulled his head side ways and to her. Almost putting him in a chock hold. He then scraped her face with the bolt. Blood flowed from her face. He then dropped the bolt and grabbed her wrist. And twitted it to ware she let go of his mandibular. He pulled the arm in a wrist lock forward to send her off balance he pivoted his body a little. He then used a judo escape to her writs lock ware she had his other arm trapped in a hammer lock.He turned it into a wrist lock. As he slammed his elbow into her hips. He then hit her hips with a hammer fist with that same arm in a fluid motion. He uses his momentum to roll over her. And catches her left leg with both of his. in a scicor like vice.

He moves behind her keeping her leg trapped almost in an ankle lock with his legs. He punches her in the back. And then sets his arms up to trap her in an STS. she pushes her thumb into the part of the hand between the for finger and the thumb. Casing pain. She then pokes him in the eyes. With his left eye damaged earlier adding to that the poke makes it worse. And since Roman Greco rules don't apply. First she twistews his writs masking him let go of her neck. twisting his arms a bit. She pulls them far wad and head buts him in the nose. breaking his nose. he bleeds a bit from the nose. She then grabbed the right arm since his weight was on his left side and twised it and hit him with an equalizer with her free hand. She twisted her body side ways and kicked his right ankle off her leg. Granted he had kind of fell over because of the equalizer. She almost shouted ghoul. Well, if she her jaw wasn't broken she would. Or four or rack em up. She then turned this into an ankle lock of her own. Or a grape vine.She snaps the ankle. She then moves around hits him in the back and cuffs his wrists. And with his back to her. She mounts and punches him. Like in UFC. She then picks him up and throws him threw the senators window. The Senator runs out the building. As do his adds. As Huntress walks into the building. As the shadows show on her. her Cap flowing in the wind. She bleeds a bit. As she fires two bolts into his knees. She looks angry. She steps forward.


The broken glass falling about. She steps into the room. As he lays on the ground. She picks up the senators chair and bashes him with it. Her smile would be real if her jaw wasn't broken. A gleeful look in her eye as she hits him with the chair. He put her threw a lot. And she was fed up with it. He was going down and it wouldn't be pretty. She didn't even bother with the cameras. As she stepped forward. She threw the chair down and grabbed him by the neck. By his costume. And smashed him face first into the desk.::

Wrath," My, my, not going to just take me to jail? I'm unarmed and hand cuffed. Taking our job a bit far?"

::She just slammed his head into the desk again. She didn't say any thing.::

Huntress

::Huntress then fires a bolt into the desk right below his head. To show how easily she could have killed him. She wanted to kill him. She really did. As she grabbed his neck and arm and tossed him to the ground. she slammed her foot into his right shoulder. And aimed her cross bow attachment at his head, but instead shoot him in his left shoulder. She then pushed a button on her commutater. Well, one she bought at radio shack. She wasn't using her BOP one for this. Some ex mobsters that use to work with Sal. Had taken down Wraths men and disabled his Atomic bombs. She had also gotten a few former hackers to disable his satellite weapons. They had said as much on the camucator. ::

Man," Yo Huntresws dis is Vitto. We got all the places and gots rid of the atomic bombs. "

::She pushed the button a few times in mores code. To tell him she heard and thanx. Then over and out. She then pushes the button again after turning the channel to ware the lead hacker was.::

Hacker," Heeeeeeeey , Baby, LOL this was a simple code. We likes broke it in a matter of moments. This was an easy job. TTYl."

::She again pushes in mores code on her walkie. Thanks. And to talk to him latter. She then flips off Wrath. He laughs.::


Wrath," You think you've won? Sadly all for get the old story of the boy whom was smuggling his friend was a cop. He could never figure out what the boy was smuggling. Well it was a bet by the boy he could sneak things past him. Each was a full wagon. But, he had a recite for every thing in each wagon. The man asked him what he was smugling and he answered. Wagons. You see I could cARE LESS ABOUT BLOWIMNHG UP gOTHEM. Everything HERE WAS RECORDED. and NOW BROCASED ON EVEY tV IN gOTHEm. As they saw their polatiosons and Cops betray them. Granted the Law did years ago. I heward of a man arested for scarring off sqauters on his property. They moved into a house he owned. And he chassed them off with a shot gun. The Squatter had caLled the cops. saying he had threatened him. Not like he was traspasing or any thing. But, they areasted the masn defending his house. Granted if he went their with oyut the gun,. He'd probly be dead. Rember when some one invaded your home and you could defend it? Next they'll probly arrest a man for killing a criminal whom was trying to kill his family. Heck now one can be areasted if some one harsees them at work starting crap and they challenge them to a fight out side of work. Called promoted. I guess promeated fuighting or some thing. Our laws now work best for people like me criminals. And now lets look the only two whom tried to stop me as I blow up Zeberville the out skirts of Gothem. Only a thief and well, you a psychopathic so called vigilantly "stopped" me.

And so viciously at that. I've used my mirror images greatest weapon against his city. Fear. Who watches the police? I'm sure now every citizen does now knowing they almost died. with out a hand raised by them. Granted it all happed fast, but only you, and the thief were in this. They have no one to look up to in Gothem. As they see the city as more vile than ever. And look at it. with the right money I got into the police head quarters. And it's senators. Can't trust any one here. Sure they had a modicum of fear before. But\, now it knows those whom protect them are much more dangerous to them than me and mine. As they will now wonder when their cops and heroes come to protect them. Can they trust them? And now I'm sure they will be investigations if not by it's lawyers and Internal investigations. Than by it's press. So take me to the police. It really doesn't matter. I've already won. Fear is what I have. Not only my weapon, but now I've clocked the police and you and yours in it! The truth is shown. And no one can escape that now! "

::She takes him to jail. She's worry about the fall out latter. Weather he won or lost was debatable. Some of his satellites had cameras. Her Hacker only took out the weapons. And he had other cameras taking images. he bought the news team to send all the info out. And pirated other stations to send all of this info out. As he saw it he won. He never interned to blow up Gothem. It was simply smoke and mirrors. She relizes their are good Cops and super heros. But, when the laws become so mangeled. And things like this happen. How much dAmage could Wrath's plan infict? He was useing the media to do damage. What kind of fall out could this cause? The out scurts were destroyed. Couldn't be avoided. No more Zeburville. How will this afect the people when they read about it in the paper? Some truth and well, some evil twists by Wrath. How would the world prosses the infermation? ::
