Mark of Cain: One Year Later.

Everyone thanks I should be worried about Vendetta. I know she's acted pretty badly, but she’s more normal now I can sense her mind mending. Though she still really doesn't like Justice or Galen. She says her mental problems mean “I don't have to pretend I like them." Not sure if she means that or not. We look over the Citadel of the Trapper. Diagram we got from Bart's connections to the Legion of Superheroes. Galen asks “Are you sure these plans are up to Date?" "No, but words like 'date' is meaningless to the Trapper." I state." Whatever it's time to put an end to this. We can plan as much as we can. But in the end we can only what we can I don't plan on sitting on my hands and waiting for my whole life to unravel." “He patted my shoulder.” I didn't mean for you to do that I meant what I meant was we need to know as much of our enemy as possible." “Kind of hard when what we know of the enemy is myth and legend." I sigh. “Has the person you asked to help us answered?” He questions. “Yes I have the ace in the hole he was easier to recruit than others, but he'd never give up on a friend I should have known." I give a good little speech to the troops. Then Aunt Steph confronts me. “You are not taking Gwen with you!" She gets in her mother's face. “Where he goes I go!" “Baby you're not well." Steph pleads. “So what? Being crazy can help us. But you can come along if ya want a little mother daughter bonding." Then the hairs on the back on neck move. “Hello mother." “Hey son." She acts happy not something she usually is with me. “What do you want? To lecture me on how I'm doing evil again?" I accuse. She laughs. “No, you’re finally um... acting like he way you were raised. I dislike... you killing... but to save lives I um understand it." She does something odd her arms come out of the shadows where she's hiding. And she ... hugs me." Um Mom this is a little embarrassing." “Shut up little boy." She laughs. “Do me one favor..." “What’s that?" I wonder what she's up to. “Be good." I roll my eyes, but she's already sneaking off. We all enter grandma Bulma's Time ship looking at her is so odd, She looks younger than she should be, in fact so do my mother , and Aunt Steph. What is going on here? “Next stop the end of time!" Grandma jokes. Outside the Citadel, a bunch of soldiers swarm us I tell Vendetta. “Okay babe no Ki moves let's save our energy for the main event." “Yeah and I'm still going to show I'm better than your slutty aunt Justice by killing more of them than she does. “She grins. Maniacally. Sigh I should have waited until I changed time to attempt to wish back Gwen, She most likely have been normal when the new time stream came up. Oh well I empty my bullets in to soldiers. The Flashes, and every one else battle as well as I know they can, But our “Ace in the hole" is eager to enter the battle. But he'll wait until he's called. Finally I take out my sword and chop down the resistance after I get hurt but I'm okay. I kick down the door. and am greeted by this. “Dad!" Justice shouts. “Mirai!" Vampi smiles. "That's not him." I growl. “Observant at least you'll know who actually killed you." Looks like we're one step closer to the main event. TBC

Gathering an army.

Sometime in the near future... Time Trapper has screwed up my world, there's no way I’m taking this lying down. Seems now instead of Black Zero ruling the world it's now Doc Doom. He's unraveling all of my work. I need an army first is to claim the one of my birth right, the League of Assassins. But first I've decided to meet with the current leader Damian Wayne. We meet at the Batcave. And of course Grandpa is there. “What do you want CAIN?" “Nice to see you too Grandpa." I snort. Another voice demands “You do not call him that Cassandra Cain is not his daughter!" I smirk. “Hello Damien. Remember what happened last time you told mom that? Besides you only want to say that because if your affair with Dick Grayson's daughter Night star." I still remember when I was a kid and caught the two of them gross. “Fine what do you want Cain?" He rubs his arm, remembering mom twisting it. “I want my faction of the LOA Uncle. As is my right." “Fine. They have been troublesome anyway waiting for your return is this all?" “For now." I smile. “See you next family reunion." All of the sudden “Grandpa speaks up.” Bruce whatever you are planning Cassandra wouldn't approve." “I know, and I've accepted it." I answer. I get others like Uncle Jason Todd, I avoid the other Robins. I call my cousins Son Vegeta, and Son Bardock, neither accept since they are fighting a war with Grandpa Vegeta. I next went to Aunt Vampi apparently Trapper wiped Mirai from her timeline, after a certain point. “I’ll join you Cain, If only to find out what the Trapper did to Mirai, but there's someone else who will want to help my daughter Justice." “I thought she was in the Corru Sector." I ask. “No. She's been in a sleeping beauty spell for years, and since Galen Vanished, and without him no one can wake her up." I grin "Maybe, maybe not. Let me find someone." I fly until I find uncle Thaddeus The Reverse Flash, also my dad's best friend. “Hey kid! What's up?" Uncle Reverse Flash grins. “Well Uncle Thad I need a favor." “Anything for you kid." He laughs. “Can you help me find Bart Allen?" His eyes go wide. "Fine Though I don't wanna talk to the idiot but Vincent owes me one." “No he doesn't I do." “We find Bart at the Hall of Justice. My ki sense have always had troubles with Flashes, I think it's something to do with the Speed Force. That and Bat's and Thad's Ki are very similar. We're confronted by Green Arrow Aka Connor Hawke he always had a thing for my mother. And never liked me besides the Arrows, and The LOA always had problems. “What do you two psychos want?" “I’m a foundin' member of Team Legacy moron I ain't no psycho." Uncle Conner Kent gets in between us. “Connor let them in I'm curious as to what they want." “But Superman..." “Arrow!" he shouts. "Do you want me to bring in Nightwing?" “No." Arrow looks at me. “Your mom should have picked me." He says in body language. I laugh. At that after I explain what’s what to Uncle Superman. He lets us in to see Bart he's not to happy to see Thaddeus. “I have nothing to say to you, who’s this saiyan guy?" “I’m Cassandra Cain's Son, Bruce." " OHWOWYOURESOBIGMANWHENDIDCASSHAVEYOU?AWWIMISSED YOUWHENYOUWHEREABABY!WHO'SYOURDADDY? WAITISITTHATVINCENTGUY?" Whoa speed talk." Yes I'm Vincent's son too. I was going to ask you help my Aunt well technically she's my cousin." “Yeah?" Who's that?" He asks. “Justice Briefs." A blur of red and yellow flashes in front of us then he's the Flash. “Come on Come on! Let's go!" Seems while I was gone Vampi recruited uncle HS. Man he’s a lot bigger than last time I saw him as a teenager. “You look more like Vincent everyday." He grins. “So we're here. What's the plan?" "I've tried to Galen’s Universe." I explain. “There’s something blocking it portal, we need Galen since he has experience with Shadow Tech." Gwen snorts. “We don't need that perv." I give her a look. “Oh come on it was so obvious Galen and Justice were banging." Bart shouts "what?" “Never mind Bart. You and Thad go and get Aunt Justice, Vampi will tell you were she is. Me I'm getting a spaceship. I need to find Grandma Bulma. The rest of you wait at this address it’s a safe house the Bats use when they need it." I had to go and steal a spaceship at a local Space port, but finally I find my way in into the Saiyan Empire. I land on the capital planet, before I can get to the Castle; I'm jumped by a guy that looks like my Uncle Mirai. “You little idiot you really thought you'd beat the Time Trapper. He sent me to finish you!" “You’re that Lantern Construct that thinks it’s my Uncle! Die” I try everything I know I hit him several times with lethal force it does nothing something's protecting him. He knocks me down and is about to kill me, when a Green creature slams into him and Aunt Vella Goes after him. “Leave my nephew alone freak!" “Vella do you think you're will is stronger than the power of the Time Trapper?" She smirks. “I’m a saiyan I don't just need my will, but I'm not the little girl you fought last time!" I don't know Vella May have a shot but if I remember something from Jon the Interglactic Gladiator's kid's show it's that bad guys keep imoprtant devices in thier belts. I throw a shuriken, and it breaks this device on his belt, “You fool! I'll be thrown back into the fourth dimension arrrgh!" Aunt Vella looks at me after the construct vanishes." I'm sorry Vella but I need to see grandmother." She grins wide. “No need for that Bruce your family you are always welcome here, Dad has said that many times lets go see mom." Some black haired kid about a year old runs up k well more waddles to Vella and clamps on to her leg. "Who's that?" I question. "This is Todd, Todd meet your cousin Bruce." "Todd?" You know now that I look at the kid he looks somewhat like Jason with a tail. But I forget about that, I have to steel myself for seeing poor Grandma. A brain in a jar. “Hey Mom! Guess who's here?" Vella excitedly shouts. Then I'm shocked as I behold. “Hey son, what can I do for you?" I just stare at Grandma Time really has changed. "Bruce? Something wrong Bruce?" TBC
