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

Galen and Justice suck

I can't believe this. No I can believe a horrible alternate present created by bad guy time travelers I've seen all kinds of crazy shit, from growing up with my mom Steph Brown AKA Spoiler. No what I don't believe is Brucie's reverence to that waste of space Justice. All growing up she said “Oh it's my destiny to save the people of my space sector blah blah, blah, Yeah she failed. Oh she beat the Corru, and started up her own government and all that, then she left them to go off with creepy bald dude, and had Goofy little bastard kids, did you see that movie with the creepy kids and the mind powers? Village of the Damned? Yeah I think that's it those kids were just like that. Back to point after she left it worked okay for a while until they all started fighting each other. And they all died for nothing. What did she do to save them? Not a damn thing but sitting on her big ass. Yeah I said it. I ain't taking it back either. You know this new time line worked out well, no Justice, no Galen, We could have made something gout of this or beat the Trapper. Without undoing those parts but nooooo. Bruce had to save her and now he insists Galen is the only way to stop the Trapper. Come on. I talked to his Grandma, Bulma. “You know Grandma. Know we don't need Galen Bruce Wayne cracked the Techno mage crap long ago. " Bulma rolls her eyes, “Gwen Bruce Wayne is only smart enough to not know how dumb he really is. When I was a teenager I chased giant marbles that called up a magic wish granting dragon, and my daughter has a ring that does anything she wants I've studied both for years and just discovered there's a lot I don't know. Besides Bruce thought he could beat Superman too, why do you think he's walking on a cane now?" “You don't mean..." “Yup Supes proved him wrong." “I don't care what my grandma in law says. That badly trained dork girl with powers getting her man back isn't worth Vella possibly dying. Vella who was ever since I was two taught me Ki moves, and was my favorite well Aunt since mom always insisted that I call Vincent and Cass Uncle , and Aunt, which kind of makes what happened with me and Bruce kind of weird. I think that's why mom had problems with it. Though to me Bruce Cain was just a guy we're not related. While I my mind was racing through this stuff Justice comes up to me. “Gwen what’s your problem with me and Galen?" “Back off badly trained girl, I can kill you with one hand tied behind my back." She laughs, “Spoiler’s daughter is talking like this to me?” I clench my fist. "And Spoiler's daughter is going to kick your out of shape ass. If you don't walk away now." She takes out Stormcutter, and acts like she's going to teach me a lesson. I kick it out of hand nearly breaking her wrist. Then I put my crossbow in her face aimed at her eye. " Vella is worth ten of you, you failure, and Bruce is just as much the two of them could die so you can get your freak magician back." Stormcutter flies at me I put a ki field around my foot and kick it away it goes for that Cami girl who was trying to sneak behind me and stabs her shoulder. Vampirella was going after me until that happened then she tended to her sister." Justice tried to use that distraction but all she got was my hand her throat. “I should kill you right now. Also don't think of it Bart, my trigger finger is itchy. If you super speed at me I'll shoot her. Don't know what you’re worried about she ain't giving none anymore anyway." “We’re Just friends “Justice coughs. “Please you don't get it do you? Guys and girls can't be friends he wants in your pants again, you’re so dumb the world is better off without you." “Gwen we can be wished back!" Bruce yells. “Maybe if Trapper hasn't taken the D-balls already." Vella puts her hand on my shoulder. “It’s our choice hon." So I let Useless go. “The only reason you’re not dead is I'm friends with Steph." Justice threatens. “Keep telling yourself that. Maybe some day you'll believe it." So Vella nearly kills herself powering the machine and Bruce jumps into the portal and actually makes it. Through our connection I see him knock down several security guards until he finds Galen, and Shiara, I don't get to see what they say because Trapper's minions attack us, I start killing them while Justice fought, lamely. Man I think Yamcha fights better. And I kicked his ass when I was 12. I thought about letting the cyber ninja that was sneaking up on her take her out but Bruce would be a bitch to live with if I did that, I shrug and kill it with my crossbow, other things going after her a good old Kamehameha stops. Feh! What a loser. Bruce jumps through the portal and there's this crappy little love scene between ugly Galen and stupid Justice. “Well at least it ain't as creepy now , maybe you should actually stay here Galen in the present Galen your relation ship ain't half as creepy, no just bad genetics together." I smile at least it makes them stop kissing. “Who is that?" Galen asks. “Spoiler’s daughter Gwen seems she grew up with a chip on her shoulder." “And you grew up with out a clue." I shoot back. Bruce Rolls his eyes “Vendetta stop it!" “I’m not one of your assassins Bruce." I smile. “If you think I'm bad maybe you should spank me?" “You are so embarrassing Gwen." He mutters. “So Brain what are going to tonight?" I joke. “Next we take the fight to the trapper." He says without humor. One of these days one of these days s I'm going to get him to crack a smile without being naked. TBC

So this is the Time Trapper.

Arkham Asylum: The near future. They expected me to come in blasting, like my grandfather the king of all saiyans Vegeta. They forgot I'm not only the son of Vince Briefs, but also I'm the son of the second Batgirl Cassandra Cain. While I have saiyan blood I have even more assassin blood. I sneak through the Asylum knocking out the regular guard staff, they are not at fault. They are doing a good thing here keeping in the insane freaks my uncle the New Batman captures. I wonder if Terry knows he's carrying the Wayne blood in him. Man I can't wait to tell Damien. Yes I leave the guards alive but anyone I find wearing the Time Trapper's symbol I slit their throats. That's what you get for kidnapping my Vendetta. I finally find the main computer. It's pretty easy to hack. Now where is she? I look up Vendetta, Okay they don't use codenames to id their prisoners. Okay let's try her real name Gwyneth Brown. Nothing... odd I try the last name Drake on a hunch. Nope damn where do they have her? Then I slap my forehead of course Gwyneth Cain-Briefs. Yes that got a hit, the profile says: AKA Gwen Cain, former SHIELD Agent, former member of the New Young Justice, Former member of Justice League Task force. Now member of LOA. Yes that's her. I don't even need to read the rest about her family tree I know them all ... Someone thought it would be funny to put her in cell 666, I bet because of the Cain name. I pick the lock. She looks up "Uhhnnh, now the drugs they're giving me are making me hallucinate." "No it's me Gwen it's Bruce." After I take her out of the straight jacket she hits me. “What the hell took you so long?" “I didn't know they took you." I shrug. “A likely story you probably found someone else." I roll my eyes. “What is it with you Browns and low self esteem crossed with paranoia?" “We’re around you Cains, so freaking good at fighting it's ridiculous." We kiss." Let's get out of here." I growl. “Yes I missed you too Bruce. I love you as well... Why yes I can't wait to get you alone." “Quiet!" I grunt. “Oh please I've been doing this stuff longer than you Bruce." She gripes. The whole way she nags me. Why did I want a mate again? I get out side, and we get a few miles away from Arkham when a laser blasts at us. “Hello little brother." “Oh Crap!" I shout. You know that old saying the sins of the father are visited on the son? Well you see when Dad Was a teenager Mom and another Cass Cain, well they ...um this is so disgusting. Took turns with dad. And apparently Alternate Cass Cain has no Nightwing, or he doesn't give those long and kind of creepy sex talks because Stacey Cain was the result of that. We first met in a multiverse fighting tournament, after she learned of mine and Barb's existence she wanted nothing else but to kill us. (Oh another odd fact every other child of any other Cassandra Cain in the Multiverse is a girl I don't know why it just is. Well the ones I saw anyway. They were a little freaked out about my existence. ) She's always been better at martial arts than me I would beat her with blasts. I can tell by her body language she thinks it's going to be the same way, wait until she sees what I learned from David Cain, and Lady Shiva in the past. Gwen did something odd, She got into a stance and stated yelling " KA ME HA..." Where the hell did she learn that? “No! This is between us, one day you'll have to tell me where you learned ki moves." “Your Aunt." Gwen smiles. "You'd better win Bruce." Stacey smiles confidently until I punch her in the face too fast for her to respond. She's taken aback but tries to feint me, we went move for move until I caught her with a knee to the gut. She growls “No flying? No blasts what afraid?" She was trying to distract me so she can surprise me with her Bo staff. I block it with the adamantium sword Trunks gave me as a kid. After a few shots I cut the staff, she tries to fight me with both sticks I slash her leg when she tries it. “No... You can't have gotten that much better! It's impossible." “I went into the past and got some training from my grandparents maybe you've heard of them? David Cain And Sandra Woo San. Oh yeah I also got some tips from a guy named Richard Dragon. The LOA gave me a nick name back then, Tell me if you've heard it I'm no longer the skinny kid you used to bully I'm now the One Who Is All." She screams “No! That is my title!" She turns Super Saiyan 4. Weird that she can't fly or fire blasts but she can turn SS, It's like learning to run before you can walk. She runs at me and gets a kick in her leg. She keeps trying for me I chop block her leg when she falls I grab onto the leg and pull her leg out of its socket. “I’ve won and it was easy! Surrender!" She spits at me. “You learned some new tricks brother but I will die before I surrender to you." I smirk “You’re just mad that I was planned and you’re the result of a defective condom." She tries to open hand strike my throat. I grab her hand and break her wrist. " You I know this may not be your fault, I suspect Grandma Bulma once had the theory that kids made form parents of two different realties end up insane Poor Justice and Galen's kids or us with Cain blood are just doomed. Whatever you've scarred me every time we fought so now I'll scar you." I put my hand over her face and burn in the Mark of Cain "You've lost. Live with the shock let it fester inside silently I don't kill family so you get to breathe but you'll always have my mark and know you were spared by the One Who Is All." That felt good. As I fly my Gwen toward home a weird flash stops us. I land and this robed figure, asks “What do you want?" The Hell? "And who are you supposed to be the president of the Galen fan club?" “I am the Time Trapper, and you will speak to me with respect!" I laugh. “Yes and I'm the Easter Bunny..." “No you are Bruce Cain Briefs. Once and future leader of the League of Assassins. The founder of the Children of Cain, You will live several lifetimes and never age your children will not be so lucky since they will have too much human DNA." “You know Trapper you've screwed with me and taken my mate I think I should kill you." He gestures at me and I feel a Techno magic blast knocks me back. It reminds me of when I was a kid and would bounce around Aunt Justice's living room and Uncle Galen would give me a techno magic swat to get me to shut up. “Yes you recognize the power don't you?" The Trapper says I realize I can't read his body language his not a techno mage then my mind goes over what Galen said about shadow... they alwys ask... “What do you want?" I never thought I'd actually meet one. “Cain join me and all you can ever want will be yours, or be like your uncle Mirai and become trapped at the End of time like him.” “What are you planning?" I ask. “You broke time and ushered in all these changes, Earth should have been conquered, you stopped that from happening Galen was supposed to die you stopped that. The teen Titans were supposed to become monsters you stopped that. I'm going to put that back the way it was supposed to go, I'm going to end the age of heroes long before it leads to the Legion of Superheroes. You can join me or you can be erased from history time traveler." “Go screw yourself." I respond. “The dye is cast Cain you shall be destroyed with the rest. But first just know I will erase Galen from Justice's timeline I have already gave a call to him that the Excalibur is in danger when he returns to his reality he will find he can't return to yours. This is a favor to my servant the Evil Mirai I don't need to do this her legacy will be cast as one of the greatest villains in history. Soon all heroes will be seen that way. Prepare Cain your world will soon unravel." "Okay that's weird Bruce." Gwen states as the Trapper vanishes. “What do you want to do now?" “A storm is coming." I state. “We gather an army."
