Injustice 3: The Might of Magic (Book 3)

Cheetah:

Jumping out of the car as soon as one of the men in suits opens the door, I jump out and scratch him. He tries to fire but instead screams and falls to the ground. Landing on top of him, I look around at the other men in suits are aim their guns at me. I snarl before running toward them with my claws out.

They fire their guns and the night sky is filled with only the sound of gunfire and brief flashes. Running as fast as I could, dodging the gunfire by the skin of my teeth, I can still take down one guard after another. Grabbing one guard by his hand, I twist it and force not only a scream out of him but also for him to drop his gun. I then punch the back of his head and knock him out. Another guard running toward me, I drop down and leg sweep him, knocking him to the sidewalk. As he pushes himself up, I stomp on his head and knock him out as well.

While standing on top of this thug, I look behind me and see both Harleen and Jason carrying out the Professor from the car. They carry him inside the building we crashed into.

"You guys owe me for this," I think as I turn back around. However, as soon as I turn around, someone kicks me in the stomach. They kicks the wind out of me and me onto the ground.

"Ahh," I moan, holding my stomach as I push myself up. Looking up, I see some woman with long black hair standing before me. She's wearing a dark-red jumpsuit with a trench coat.

"Who are you," I ask.

"My name is Lady Shiva," Lady Shiva says, walking up until she's standing over me. "And I am the one that will hang your head on my wall. Of course, after I claim the bounty on you and your friends."

"I wouldn't call them my friends," I say, looking at Lady Shiva raises her leg high into the air. Slamming it down toward me, I roll out of the way as she cracks the sidewalk. Rolling and landing on my hands and feet, I look up at Lady Shiva as she raises her feet. "I may not called them my friends, but that doesn't mean I let you get them."

I show off my sharp teeth before pushing off the ground and lunging at Lady Shiva.

Harleen:

"I'm too old for this," Professor Stein says as Jason and I carry him up a flight of wooden, creaking stairs. Stumbling into a near pitch-black hallway, I let go of Professor Stein only for a second to kick down an old door. The door flying off the hinges, I shoot out my hand and a pistol forms right in it.

Stepping into the empty room, I scan it for any threats.

"Nothing but a busted lamp and an old matress," I think. With that, I nod my head and sheathe my pistol. I then return to Professor Stein and Jason. Together, we carry Professor Stein into the room.

"Oh god," Professor Stein yells as we approach the old matress. "What is that smell? I am not sitting on that."

"Sorry but from the looks of it," I say, giving the place another lookaround. "The previous tentant didn't leave a chair behind."

"It's fine," Jason says. Together, Jason and I slowly lower Professor Stein down onto the matress. He tries to pinch his nose but can't. His hands are too busy being over his bruised ribs. At least, I hope it's only a bruised ribs.

"Who the hell is that lady," Jason asks. He peeks out through one of boarded up windows. "And why did she attack us all of a sudden? Is she with Superman?"

"Doubtful," I answer. "Those men. Those guns. Those suits. None of them look like standard One Earth equipments. I think she and her men are unrelated to Superman."

"Okay. Still doesn't explain why she attacked us."

"Hey, Batman and Mr. Sunglasses are the super geniuses. Not me."

While Jason and I are peeking out the boarded-up windows, we hear footsteps and voices coming from the outside the rooms.

"Go, go, go," someone shouts. "They're in here somewhere. Come on!"

"Oh god," I say. I walk toward the doorframe and peek around. I see beams of light moving all around follows by the sound of doors being broken down and footsteps running up.

"Oh no," I say. I back up into the room and try to close the door. Only, the door is laying on the floor. And I'm standing on it.

"Oh yeah," I say, slapping myself on the forehead. I turn toward Jason and Professor Stein. "I don't suppose Firestorm can help. Can he?"

Jason's crooked eyebrows answer for me.

"Fine," I sigh. I raise my hands and my suit forms a pistol in each of them. "Stay here."

I step out the room but before leaving, I grab the door.

"Uhh."

I try to put the door back but instead, it just falls back onto the floor.

"Okay, well I tried. Bye."

With that, I leave the two and sliently run toward the stairwells. Dropping to my knee and slamming my body against the railing, I peek through them. I see what looks like dozens of men in suits, each armed with a machien gun. They're searching relently for us, breaking down each and every door and entering the rooms before coming back out.

"They're only a few floors from us," I think. "What can I do? What can I do? I can't take them all by myself."

As I think of all my limited possibilities, I stop when I hear screaming. Only, this screaming isn't someone barking orders. It's terror.

"What the hell," one of the suited men screams as a sudden flash of lights appear. The lights grabs my attention as well. I peek through the railing and couldn't believe my eyes. A portal had appears.

"A portal? But who's coming through? Everyone else is in another cities. Wait, could it be The Man?"

I keep an eye on the portal, waiting for someone to steps through. Only no one does. The portal closes after a few seconds. All of men in suits stood before the portal with their guns aimed at it. They waited for something to happen but seem relax once it disappears a few seconds later.

"What was that," I yell. "Was that a joke? That was a bad joke."

I stare at where the portal was, wondering why or what was that point of that. I keep staring until someone shines a light on me.

"She's there," one of the men in suit screams. "Three floors up!"

"Crap," I say. I barely have time to jump out of the way as the men fire and completely destroy the railings. Lights lights up the stairwell as I hear countless footsteps heading toward me.

The Invisible Man:

"Harleen," I think, watching from below as Black Mask's men found and fire at her. Thankfully, she manages to hide in time. However, everyone starts to run up the stairs toward her.

"I have to move fast. I don't have a second to spare."

Looking to my right, a few of Black Mask's men running right through me and onto the stair, I open my hand and look down at the gemstone.

"Here goes nothing."

I clutch the gemstone in my hands before chasing after Black Mask's men. I reach the stairs in no time and grab the first person I could.

"Hey," he shouts, "What the hell?"

I first disarm him, slamming the machine gun out of his hands before kneeling him in the stomach and throwing him down the stairs.

"The fuck," the person in front of him says. He aims his gun at me but since he doesn't see me, doesnt' shoot. I take this opening and kick out his leg before throwing him down the stairs.

One by one, floor by floor, I quickly knock out Black Mask's men. I disarmed them. I punch and kick them. I even threw a few off the staircase. Those partically men landed on the floors below us.

By the time I reach Harleen, she was just as confused as the men.

"Uhh, what happened?"
