Ah well, looks like you have things well in hand anyway. I was really needing Slade to have a chance to use his auto-regen. I'd gladly trade my Fortitude for Nanobots and 15 points of other feats.

Wilson Family Matters, turn 5

1) Rose will move to G17.

Free) Slade perplexes up his own defense.

Yeah, looks like. Is that HO Donna was carrying supposed to disappear? Drop to the side?

Titans 5B

1) Tempest charges to H16 and hits Ravager with a 10. Super senses is a 4. That'd be 4 clicks so I'm assuming you'll use protected?

Yeah, Ravager will use protected here. And the HO that Donna was holding actually just drops on top of the LO, one of the rare times when you can have multiple object tokens stacking on the same square.

2) Roy shoots at Slade with a net arrow. Needs an 8, gets a 5.

3) Wally runs to E19 and rains down a few dozen punches. Needs an 8, gets a 9 and you use protected so he takes a token. Wally stops at D18.

End Post:

The Flash made his move first. In the blink of an eye, he was in Deathstroke’s face. He gave Slade twelve punches before getting kneed in the gut. A backhand from the Terminator sent the Flash to the floor. Slade was fast, chemically enhanced to move quicker than any normal human and that made him quicker than anyone Wally had fought since Zoom. Rubbing his jaw, he made a mental note to remember that.

“Get out of my house” Deathstroke sneered. He squeezed the trigger on his uzi, letting loose a hail of bullets towards Wally. In the time it took the bullets to travel the space between them, the Flash had already retreated back towards the other Titans. Deathstroke followed the speedster’s movements with his one good eye and continued firing, this time at Wally’s teammates, who dove for cover.

Deathstroke continued to lay down suppressing fire as he and his daughter backed out of the room and into the much darker adjoining one. Tempest dove in after him, knocking the villain to the ground. As Nightwing and Arsenal moved forward to back their teammate up, Wally saw Deathstroke come out of an entry way just behind them. The sneaky little son of a ##### must have gone around, using Ravager to distract Garth.

“Look out!” the Flash shouted as Slade swung his sword. Arsenal ducked and rolled out of the way. Nightwing pulled both escrima sticks the straps on his back and deflected the attack upwards. As Arsenal came out of his roll, he launched an arrow towards the two of them. Nightwing did a back handspring, just making it out of the exploding arrow’s radius in time. Deathstroke wasn’t so lucky and the force of the explosion knocked him back into the wall. Seeing his opportunity, the Flash charged forward again, striking Slade several times. The Terminator took the blows like they were nothing, though Wally knew he had felt them. Slade’s broadsword came down again and Wally stepped out of the way with ease.

“You can’t hit me” he told Deathstroke, dodging two more swings. It felt good, showing that he was superior to his enemy. Wally usually didn’t take joy in taunting supervillains. He’d rather let his actions speak for themselves. This was different, though. This man had hurt him and badly. As much as Barry would disapprove, he wanted to return that pain. Deathstroke threw his sword at the Flash’s chest in frustration, watching as he simply sidestepped it.

“Face it. You’re outclassed!”

“I wasn’t aiming for you.” Slade’s smile let Wally know he was telling the truth. He looked behind him and saw Nightwing kneeling on the ground, clutching his side. Blood flowed from it and more of it dripped from the wall where Slade’s sword had stuck. A blow to the back of the head knocked Wally to the ground yet again.

“You bastard!” he heard Donna shout, followed by a sound that could only be the Terminator’s jaw cracking against the Amazon’s fist. Wally shook his head, trying to get rid of the stars in front of his eyes. He saw Dick get up and leap over him, engaging Deathstroke once more.

“We’re not kids anymore, Slade” the Titans’ leader yelled over the sounds of his escrima sticks colliding with Deathstroke’s broadsword. “You can’t beat us this time.”

Dick was probably right but Wally wasn’t about to take that chance. He ran at the villain for a third time, this time snagging his weapons away and tossing them to the side before knocking Deathstroke back, away from the others. Faster than sound, he followed the villain, hitting him even more, despite Slade’s best attempts to keep his guard up.

A popping sound caught Wally’s ear as he rained more blows down on the Terminator. Seeing a net from one of Roy’s trick arrows shooting towards them, he gave Slade a shove towards it. In mid air, the Terminator turned around, caught the edge of the net in one hand and whipped it around, striking Arsenal in the leg. He allowed his momentum to continue to carry him towards the archer, landing on the ground in front of Arsenal and giving him a left cross at the same time. By the time Roy swung his bow at Deathstroke, Wally was already headed back for a fourth round. Slade caught the bow in his palm but didn’t have time to do anything with it before Wally hit him.

The force of the blow carried them both through the wall and outside of the house. Before Slade could lose his momentum, Wally rushed around to the other side and struck him again. He watched Slade go unconscious before he even hit the ground.

“Get up” the Flash said through his teeth. “I’m not through with you yet.” He spat on Deathstroke’s face but the Terminator didn’t move.

“Agh!” He kicked the villain, sending his body rolling across the grass until he stopped face down about a dozen yards away. Dick and Roy ran up behind him.

“You okay?” Dick asked.

“No. It isn’t fair, Dick. Deathstroke broke us. He crippled my legs. He damn near killed Roy and Garth. He turned Donna against us. He destroyed our family and the best we can do to him is knock him out and lock him up.”

“We’re still here, Wally.”

“Are we? Nothing feels the same anymore. We…” The Flash smiled a bit, in spite of himself. “We grew up.”

“Not your typical coming of age story is it?” Arsenal added with a smirk.

Their conversation was interrupted by what could only have been Donna screaming. Wally grabbed Deathstroke and the three of them ran back to the house. Inside, they found Troia and Tempest alive but unconscious. Deathstroke’s daughter was nowhere to be found.
_______________________________________

Nightwing’s phone rang. Seeing Dawn’s name on the caller id, he picked up.

“Hey, Dawn. How’d it go?”

“Fine. Just some mad scientist looking to test out his toys. I don’t think he’s ready to take on the Justice League just yet. Where’d you all run off to?”

“Our time table moved up a bit. We’ve got Slade.”

“That’s great! Two in one day.”

“Yeah” Dick agreed, hesitantly. He looked at Donna and Garth, who were beginning to regain consciousness. Wally rushed back into the room and shook his head. No sign of Ravager anywhere. “Another victory for the good guys.”
_______________________________________

Psimon was particularly pleased with himself. Even with just two companions, his plan had turned out perfectly. He looked over the young Rose Wilson where she had been tied down. This time, he’d taken the precaution of handcuffing his guest’s arms and legs together in addition to binding her to the chair, just in case.

“I think I’m ready for her, my dear.”

Jinx smirked and snapped her fingers, causing the Ravager to awaken.

“Good to see you again, Miss Wilson.” For a moment, the girl seemed confused. Then she began to laugh.

“You’re dead” she told them. “You’re dead and you don’t even realize it yet.”

“Cute.” Psimon gave his captive a kind smile and patted her on the head. “But delusional. I’m not the one in trouble, here.”

“You can kill me if you want” Rose shook her head. “But it won’t stop my father from coming after you. Like I told you, you’re already dead.” The girl’s overconfidence was getting on his nerves. It wasn’t an act, either. The poor…disgusting excuse for a human being truly believed she had the upper hand here. He’d enjoy letting her know otherwise.

“Last I saw, your father had been captured by the Titans.”

“He’ll escape.”

“And take revenge on me? Ha! Why would he do that when you’re going to tell him nothing’s wrong?”

“But why would”

“I’m a telepath you moron!” he shouted. “There doesn’t have to be a why! I’ll just make you do it.” He crouched down in front of her and put his hands around her head. He grinned madly. “I can make you do anything I want.”

“You aren’t that powerful” Ravager told him. Her voice projected absolute certainty but Psimon could hear her thoughts. She wasn’t sure of herself, not even close. “You used to get beaten up by the Teen Titans when they were just kids. You’re all talk, Psimon.” Insolent child! How dare she bring up his failure! The sheer amount of luck those mettlesome twerps had possessed was uncanny. He noticed the girl’s pained expression and realized that he had been squeezing her skull tightly between his hands. He chuckled, wiping the scowl from his face and releasing the girl.

“I’ve…evolved past that. As your father might have told you, I’ve always had a bit of trouble controlling someone with strong willpower. That has always been why I’ve had trouble battling the Titans alone. You present the same problem of course, but we’ll just see how long you can resist after I’m done with you. Gizmo has all sorts of fun toys that I’m sure will be even nastier after I alter the pain receptors in your brain to make them more sensitive. If that doesn’t work, we can always try food and sleep deprivation.” Psimon watched with glee as Ravager’s defiant expression melted away into pure despair. “Can you hear that?”

“Nope” Jinx told him. “But I can guess what she’s thinking.”

“You’d be right. She wants to know what I’m going to do to her.” He leaned in very close, using his telekinesis to keep the girl in place so that she didn’t get any funny ideas. He put his lips right up to her ear. “I’m going to give you a conscience.” He could tell from her thoughts that she didn’t understand. “But I’m going to leave the rest of you exactly as you are. Your heart will still be as cold as stone, your soul, still rotten to the core. You’ll still want to kill and steal from your fellow man. Every bit of you will still be as evil as the day you first put on that ridiculous mask." He held up the blue and orange mask he had taken from her before tossing it onto her lap. "Only this time? You’ll hate yourself for it. Every action you take, every idle thought that enters your brain will cause you guilt and suffering. Your life will be a living hell and you’ll know deep down that you are the only one to blame. And when you’ve finally had enough, when you just can’t take it anymore, you’re going to take your own life…and you’re going to film it, so that I can send it to your father and make him watch. How does that sound?”

That last part was a lie of course. He couldn’t force someone as strong as Ravager to do something as specific as filming her own suicide, not without being there himself. It didn’t matter. His speech had accomplished what it was meant to. The poor girl was terrified. “What do you have for me, Gizmo?”

“Just what the doctor ordered” the dwarf laughed, handing over a device that looked like a combination of a power drill and a corkscrew.

“Excellent” Psimon held it up so that the girl could take a nice long look at it. “I’m not a very experienced surgeon, mind you, but I think I can handle this. I’m going to make you look just. Like. Daddy.” He aimed the device at Rose’s left eye and pushed a button on the side. The pointed end began to spin.

“You’re crazy” the girl spat.

“No. I’m just pissed off. Now hold still.”

The End.
