Rise of Renegade

Chapter 5

This chapter is going to be the current ending to the Gotham arc and also the start of Richard meeting the YJL. We have decided to also post this fic and another fic on Wattpad as well. We hope you enjoy this chapter and story.

We don't own anything; if we did life would have been much more entertaining.

Chapter 5

It was a nice night, not too hot and not too cold but just a nice and gloomy Gotham night in early spring, "HUD on" I said and scanned the HUD inside of my mask that showed the time and wind direction, not that it mattered with what I was going to be using to shoot. My rail sniper which Master got for me two years ago, "You need something that you can use to go along with that brain of yours" he had said. The thing had broken both my arm and clavicle the first time I shot it and hurt like hell after I got used to its kick, but now I didn't feel it at all and could fire multiple times before feeling the painful bite of my dear old "SCYTHE" which I had named it after Master joked that I was going to become the grim reaper because of how efficiently I had handled it.

I check the time, "One hour before the clown shows" I shrug my left shoulder because the pauldron that carried three small drones the size of both my fists together made me stiff because it was large and heavy, though the heavy part didn't bother me, "Zeta, W, X, Y set to scout and alert" the three drones softly shot from my shoulder and flew off just as silently while they quickly disappeared into the night sky safe from prying eyes because of their optical camouflage, "I need a proper cloak for them" I mused before returning my focus to the HUD content to waste some time until my targets showed since the drones will alert me if anyone got near me.

"Zeta, link programs Blaze and Awe to my shot" the beep made me smile, "I need to give you a voice soon too, or teach you to talk like R2" I scanned the news line at the bottom of my mask and saw that an ambassador was killed in some country I hadn't heard about yet, "Master seems to be finished" once again only the silence of the gloomy Gotham night responded, "Definitely need to get Zeta a voice or add some music to the mask" it would at least help with my boredom when Master isn't here to chat with.

I spent the time reading a book on cybernetics for forty minutes when my drones alerted me that someone was close, a picture of the Joker getting out of a car on the other side of the warehouse showed on my masks HUD. They tagged him with their heat sensors and then went back to their programmed orders of scouting the area; I knew he would be along soon enough because Batman found him all on his own... nope he found him because I had hacked his computer while he was busy with his little pet upstairs, he really should have had better cyber security because it was way to easy to peel back every layer of secrets he had on that thing. He even got me an in into the Leagues computers, and now I will always be one step ahead of them because I own their systems and they will never know until I have Zeta take control. Ok so I can see why my sisters might find me scary sometimes, but as my Master always says, "The more you know the harder you are to kill" and I took it to heart. Does it make me scary? Yes it does, do I care? No not really because fear is power in my line of work.

Another alert told me that Batman had arrived, a picture of him landing on the roof of the warehouse showed on my HUD, "Excellent. Zeta, begin mission Fame" the beep sounded and I watched as my three drones moved into position on my HUD, the notification popped up saying they were in position and that their MAG rings were deployed.

When Master gave me a railgun I just had to tinker and make something that went along with it, so I put MAG rings on WXY so that I can fire from really far away or even a different direction. I lined SCYTHE up with W who was visible now, I aimed at the glowing blue ring below it and made a mental note to get rid of the glow on the inside of the rings so that no one can notice it someday. My heart steadied as I listened and watched the video feed from the camera in the building which Zeta brought up because Fame began.
