Chapter 11: Chap 10: Prison break and schock
[Belle Reve, September 16]
I am flying outside Belle Reve right now high out of sight and ears while Megan and Superboy are inside trying to figure out the escape plan.
Aqualad and Tornado are waiting close nearby in the Bioship.
This Prison is a disaster to be honest, the whole insident will be the beginning of disasters soon enough, how the Light got hold on so many villains just go to show you how long they were planning and how much they were waiting and soon enough they will have full control over this place thanks to one Hugo Strange, cool name.
It's sad how the League just leave it be once the mission is done and they don't go much in details about the how and why until much much later when it's already too late. I am disappointed in you Batman.
I mean i kinda understand that they are busy and have lots to do but... haaah no matter what i say, it's won't make a difference so forget it.
This is the what it look likes in a world of Heroes and Villains, they can't be everywhere or know everything and when they can, well it won't be a nice world then.
Oh well it's still in the safe for now so let's just go invisible and have a look insinde shall we, alot of powers are waiting for me to copy in there.
Amanda Waller seems... nice here. Not like the bitch in the movies and shows just stern. Ah here it is i take it back she's a bitch no matter the universe. It's funny the amount of confidence and arrogance she's exhibiting, she's like those Karens but black(no offense or anything), and Hugo if i didn't know better i would have thought the man to be a saint a true expert indeed.
The security is trash only cameras, guns and the chokers, what stopping a strong telepath from doing his job from the outside or a magician or someone like me who can phase through. Haah, how disappointing.
'Tsk tsk tsk, you should not let Killer Frost talk to you like that Megan you should show her who's the boss that's rule number one in prison didn't your shows teach you that?'
She's a real villain in this one isn't she, i liked the white haired one better. There are multiple ones actually you have Caitlin Snow, there's another one with the same name like this one which is 'Crystal Frost' and there's the super sexy one i don't know her name or from what universe she is, she had short hair with bangs on the sides and a body to die for *caugh* the two of them where in suicide squad at some point of time i believe. I should investigate this in the future just to refresh my mind not because she's hot.
A lot of people with super strength or stamina or invulnerability here. And despite that the big league are normal humans and Icycle sr is the big dog. Why? Is it because he's the oldest or something? Because i don't see why really.
Damn Leonart Snart what happened to you where's my man Wentworth Miller he would have formulated the perfect prison break plan ever, and look what we got instead some fat short dude with a creepy face. *sigh* the disappointment is only getting worse, is that a sign for me or something?
It's funny how the Riddler is taken as a joke here but he will actually be the only one escaping from here. Truly being somehow smart in this universe does got you places sometimes.
Why didn't they get the helmet out of Ojo's head? Ah he can't see without it, no eyes because of his father's experiment what a cliché villain backstory. It normally offer him mind protection by releasing signal waves that disrupt the psychic waves of a telepath, you need to really focus to be able to enter and stay inside. But it's not working right at the moment which is fine either way by me it would have offered a good training, maybe slight challenge oh well.
Hmm Shimmer... i should keep an eye on her i can feel she has a meta-gene but unawakened and i remember she had shown some kind of transmutation ability, might come useful.
I have something for those unawakened metas in mind but needs testing because i am not sure it's feasible, if the Light knew what i am thinking, i am sure they will experience an orgasm at the thought.
Where do they keep the more powerful ones with powers and stuff, oh yeah it's still in the beginning and not many were shown guess i got too much excited. So this was what the signs leading me to, utterly disappointed.
At least it's a good show non the less, wish i had popcorn with me look how machos and barbaric they are all acting around, it's like they are high school teenagers bullies for real. Even the guards are acting with superiority and smug faces here.
Ah here are you Ivo i was beginning to miss you, your knowledge will come very handy in the future thank you for the free donation.
Nope this immunity of yours won't help you even if I have to break your mind and take it all. Should i actually break his mind? Let me see he will be a crucial help later for providing T.O. Morrow place to the team at one point, then he will escape with the help of Sportmaster and leave an Android replica of himself to take his place so he can work on the starfishes aliens.
...Yeah he's not important i will only leave the crucial things so he can still function and still be him and not turn into a vegetable instead of a brain, i will just delete his scientific knowledge, even when everyone come to know what happened to him they can't do anything after all deleted memories are different story from altered ones.
I will make sure to erase any signs from my psychic signature maybe they will think he had an accident or an amnesia or something due to the chaos during this escape.
He himself will surely notice something missing with time but he won't be able to know what and unless he goes out and klarion or some psychic inspect him no one will know and by then it will already be late and he will be useless to them, Klarion might even get rid of him as he didn't even want him there.
Maybe he will go crazy before that or Hugo will notice something wrong and either get him out early or never. I wonder who will they bring instead. They do tend to find unique and specific people.
Should i do it with the rest of these genius super villains? There is a handful of them, either got mad at some point or got arrogant and thought everyone else is a stupid monkey or something.
But if i do that Batman will notice and cause me troubles, i'm still not ready to be independent from them yet, i mean i can be if i want to.
I have all the tech and knowledge i might ever need so that not the problem, even calling it a problem is an exaggeration but i still am not sure what to do and where to go yet, do i want to make my own team? Metas gathering or something or leave the planet to tour around?
It's better to keep close to the team for now so i can know more closely what's happening and what are the changes that will occur so yeah let stick with just the mind reading for now.
Superboy acting performance did get me slightly surprised he's really nailing it guess he trained well huh. But there is still some impulsiveness here a bit but at least it's not out of anger but care for Megan. How cute, go get her boy.
I knew she will be fine that's why i didn't help her, don't need to stretch this drama between them more than it is so i let him do it, but i kept an eye close on them just in case while making sure no guards are getting killed.
Woman are scary specie man. They are more vicious than the men on the other side.

"Oh hey, you are here good there are stuff you need to know" i just came back after paying a little visit to Serly, it seems she will be really busy from now on working on a new project which will give me more time to focus on my own projects.
In front of me is Batman, Red Tornado, Canary and Arrow all looking my way waiting for what i have to say.
"What do you all know about Hugo Strange?" I asked bringing his file on the screen on full display.
"It says he is the resident psychiatrist at Belle Reve Penitentiary and has been working there for a while" said Dinah reading the file.
"He's also close to Amanda Waller and act as her second-in-command, and the newly appointed acting warden after her ousting." said Batman further, proving he has done his homework.
"And secretly an agent of the Light, do they ring a bell to you Batman?"
.
.
.
"Explain" glared Batman slightly while saying, i just rolled my eyes at his attempt to intimidate me and continued.
"Did you ask yourself how were they able to smuggle their equipment inside along with the special cold resistant prison clothes, why did the four ice-themed villains staged simultaneous attack together at the same time and got arranged in the same prison?
Your answer for the first question is Hugo himself smuggled them in so they can escape, the second answer you're seeking is The Light arranged it so they can use their combined abilities to break all the prisoners out"
"Wait how did you figure that out, how do we know the validity of what you just said?" asked Arrow scrutinizing his eyes while looking at me with a slight suspicion.
I just raised my eyebrow at the accusation and just answered: " because I stayed back after the mission finished and heard him talk with Icycle Sr. about how the light will be 'pleased' despite the failure and Sr. is the one who talked about Hugo smuggling. And after the whole fiasco he became the acting warden suspicious don't you think?"
"We discovered the mention of the Light along with Luthers name related to it after investigating Cadmus" said Batman
"Hm, speaking of Luther what do you think about what happened in Taipei." i said bringing the incident file for all of us to see.
"We believe Luther is working with league of shadows" said Batman while looking at the footage, he's being corporative tonight, a test?
" Which means Luther and Ra's Al ghul for now if you look at the prisoners record you can see multiple of them related to multiple incidents all connected to each other.
I even have a suspicion that Klarion the witch boy have a hand in this, after speaking with Kent Nelson he explained the importance of a lord of order to deal with a lord of chaos and he said he was there with Abra for the helmet before he disappeared. And Abra was colliding with the escape plan along with Ojo and the hook guy from the same incident related to Dr. Roquette according to the information provided by Robin.
Now you have someone for business, the underworld and magic who else?
That bring us to Bialya, how did they suddenly came across an extra-terrestrial technology and why did they focus on Superboy so much. Which means we can probably add Queen Bee for politics to the bunch, what about Santa Prisca's incident, and is there a possibility that the attack on Atlantis have something to do with it and don't you think Black Manta can be a good candidate to work with or for them for the sea area, it needs more investigation and evidence but see what i am getting at."
Arrow and Canary were left dumbfounded after my discovery and Batman is giving me a hard glare like i killed his parent or something, is he jealous or afraid? Ah Red is just standing there silently not moving an inch.
"They are placing different key individuals in key positions, and exploring the boundaries of different areas from technology, genetics, and sorcery. They are planning something big" Batman murmured to himself before storming out.
Which took Canary and Arrow out of their stuppor, and they followed behind. Leaving me and Red alone who shortly after walked without a word.
What will they do now and how will they handle things and what is the Light gonna do for retaliation?
My only reason for telling all that even if it's gonna make Batman have nightmares about me is to make them aware of their methods and to fault the brainwash incident, this one will fuck a lot of stuff up for them in the future, so might as well give them a helping hand now that i can because soon enough everything is gonna change and i won't be here to help anymore.

"Batman if what he said is true then we have to act quickly and figure what they are planning to?" Said Dinah following behind Batman, the information that Zane just disclosed left her astonished at his ability to analyze and discover all this and then piece them together and at the same time it left her utterly terrified how deep in the dark they are and how far their enemy had planned.
Arrow followed behind silent still can't get the whole analysis of Zane out of his mind, it's true that he felt suspicious about the whole ordeal with Zane but after he kept talking and bringing the recent incidents it made his mind go back directly to Speedy, how he was ignorant that his own partner and protégé was simply kidnapped, cloned and then replaced without him even once feeling suspicious or aware of what had happened it made his guilt rise and return even more.
Batman kept walking without uttering a word thinking about all what have been said and what he already knew and what was missing him.
He already had his suspicions and was going to take his time to collect more information before he made his final analysis but he just didn't have the time, his time is already split between the League business, Gotham city and the young justice so he couldn't just get to the realization he just had earlier.
He should have thought before about the relation each incident had with each other but he was slow, again. After what happened in Cadmus Batman couldn't help but blaming and admonishing himself for the blunder that would have happened if Zane didn't come with Roy Harper and informed them about the genomorphs. The thought of it being Robin in his place instead sent his mind to dark places he just couldn't get out of it.
Zane words made sense to him, he was the one who read all the reports and analyzed them and the incidents behind them closely but the way Zane presented them all that, it was perfect.
No it was more than that it was as if he knew already, which in itself made all the alarm in Batman's mind go red and his suspicion soared to the roof. He'll have to double check every word and every action ever came from Zane till now, he will also need to inform the league. A meeting is required and as fast as possible, they have to be prepared they have to be ready his senses are telling him something big is coming and his senses were never wrong.
