Crimson Storm : Winter Of Injustice

Chapter 1: The Silverlight Club

 Winter in Crimson City arrived in full effect as the streets were blanketed with a layer of snow,              which brought joy to the denizens of the city.

        But elsewhere in the city, things were kicking off in a new business which was a club known as The Silverlight Club.

This club was run by the nefarious supervillain, Silverbeast which  he had built over a few days in this winter season.

The club itself was the size of a warehouse, bright strobe lights flashed and  loud hip hop music blasted over the buildings speakers as people, mostly teenagers and young adults danced to the rhythm on the dance floor.

Up on the roof of the club was Crimson Storm and her team which she brought along Cobalt Bullet,Phantom Girl, Kython, Pyromaniac, and Silhouette.

But due to the cold weather, their supersuits had been modified with thicker padding to keep them warm as well as faux white fur around the cuffs of their sleeves, and on the members who had hooded capes, fitted along the hoods, their boots were waterproof and slip resistant and they had thicker gloves to keep their hands warm and for Crimson Storm her mouth covering mask was winterized as well.

The team was silent, until Crimson Storm broke the silence.

"Alright guys, let's go!"

"Stealthily of course, we're here to find out how many bounty hunters that will be coming after us."

She said, as she drew back her hood and released her crimson curls of hair relax freely on her shoulders.

With a collective nod, the team entered the building from the skylight quietly as they crept along a metal catwalk above the dancefloor and club bar.

The heroes could see everything high above, as they descended from the catwalk and off to a secluded corner of the club which was dark enough for them to pass by undetected.

They split off  separately, so they could catch signs of Silverbeast or the other villains.

Crimson Storm decided to walk to the second floor of the club, where there were rows of small tables which were for guests to sit as they ate or drank.

As she slipped by,some of the clubbers saw her but due to the darkness and flashing lights they didn't make a fuss and went back to their business.

Crimson Storm moved along until the rows of tables ended at the end of the room where a big door  was and two armed guards were stationed.

The sign on the door read  "MANAGER OFFICE."

Bingo.

Crimson Storm thought.

She then approached closer, as the two men blocked her path.

"I need to see your boss, i have a complaint."

She quipped.

The two men didn't budge, only glaring at the hero.

Crimson Storm glared back, her hands at her sides flexing her fingers.

"If you won't move, i'll make you!"

She exclaimed.

Suddenly, she activated her powers, her hands pulsing with crimson lighting and blasted the two men with enough voltage to stun an elephant.

The men hit the ground with groans of pain, as they twitched and convulsed from the electrifying attack, until they lost consciousness.

Crimson grinned under her mask.

"Told ya."

She said, as she  opened the door with both hands.

Crimson Storm looked around the spacious office which the walls were painted gray and had  various paintings of urban settings, jazz instruments and movie posters with african american starring actors, which were most likely some of Silverbeast's favorite films.

She saw a desk in the corner of the room, which was empty.

Damn he isn't here.

She thought.

Crimson Storm investigated the office thoroughly, still finding no signs of Silverbeast.

But then, a secret wall panel opened up behind the desk, revealing Silverbeast who was dressed in a gray leisure suit with a white button up dress shirt and black shoes.

"Were you looking for me?"

He taunted, as he moved closer with a wicked grin on his face.

Crimson Storm scowled under her mask.

"Why were you hiding in the first place, big guy?"
She demanded.

Silverbeast laughed.

"Conducting business."

He said as he signaled someone with a sharp nod.

Crimson Storm was about to react, but then she was struck from behind which  made her knees buckle , making her fall.

The attacker, rather attackers revealed themselves.

It was woman with long ginger hair and blue eyes and she wore a red and gold supersuit with a light blue cape and a red belt with a gold belt buckle.

Besides her was a brown haired man who also had blue eyes and he had a trimmed goatee.

He wore a orange and blue super suit with orange visor like glasses.

"Well well, it looks like you've forgotten about that price on your head."

"Didn't you Lass?"
the man said with an Irish accent.

The woman besides him laughed.

"Aye, and we're the first to collect!"

She said, also with an irish accent.

Crimson Storm slowly got to her feet, none to happy  being suckerpunched.

"And who do i have the honor of delivering an asskicking?"

She asked.

The irish duo grinned simultaneously.

"I am The Grenadier, and this is my sister Electra-Magnus!"

He introduced themselves.

Crimson Storm chuckled.

"Oh man, i'm so scared!"

she mocked.

The Grenadier glared at her.

"You laugh now, hero but we're not to be taken lightly!"

He growled, as he stretched out his palm towards the hero as an orb of orange energy hit her like a dodgeball.
