Chapter 20: The Vemon of Copperhead

No One's Pov

Creed was now in Atlantic City now on official mission for the Brotherhood to find any information on the other Templars.

Right now he was in a two story building hideout of a Templar-affiliated gang The Blighters.

Their were seven Blighters in the building four men and three women after Creed was done with it only one man was left alive.

"What are the other Templars planing?" Creed asked.

"How the hell should I know?" The Blighter asked.

"You are going to tell me everything you know otherwise your death will be a slow and painful one."Creed replied in a threatening tone.

"Ok ok I'll talk, their a tramp steamerregistered under the US flag by the name Valor and according to the ship's manifest if was carrying barrels of oil from the Middle East. " The Blighter.

"Who owns the ship?" Creed asked.

"Black Rat. Two weeks ago the Order's intelligence network pinged funds being transferred from multiple Templar shell companies to offshore accounts. At first the transfers didn't attract much attention from the Order, the Templar moved funds around all the time, it wasn't until the Order anylists realized that all of these minute money transfers were being sent to accounts all connected to Black Rat."
The Blighter answered.

"Where is this going down?" Creed asked.

"Blüdhaven in two weeks." The Blighter answered.

Unbeknownst to Creed and the Blighter Copperhead came down slithering down from the ceiling and then came down and grabbed Creed's head with her legs and toss him over to the ground.

Creed got back to his feet and looked at Copperhead who was who was on the floor.

"Copperhead." Creed said in anger.

Then Creed and Copperhead trade blows with one another as Copperhead slithered around Creed even starches his neck and his chest with her sharp claws.

Creed toss her back away from him then check on the wound on his neck and saw a few drops of his blood on his hand and he started to feel light headed.

"What did you do to me?" Creed asked.

"I killed you. And a few more moments, your body will realize it." Copperhead answers as Creed stumbles to the ground.

Creed try to get up but it was difficult for him.

"Heh...That's it. Use your strength. With every effort you hasten your end." Copperhead remarked.

Creed managed to escape to an alleyway.

Cheshire's Pov

I was in Atlantic City looking for Creed I was going to collect the bounty on his head I heard from the intelligence from the Shadows he was last seen here.

But I felt conflicted about the whole thing I am some what tormented by both the reward money and my growing romantic feelings for him something I don't completely understand.

I am a professional and the job comes first so far he's taken out Killer Croc, Deathstorke, Talon, Pink Flamingo, and KGBEAST with some help from superheroes not even in the Justice League, now that remains is Lady Shiva, Bronze Tiger, Deadshot, Bloodsport, Merlyn, Copperhead, Electrocutioner, David Cain, Dad, and myself however I'm still not for sure if Electrocutioner and Black Spider are still on the hunt for him but I am not taking any chances.

Then I heard noises coming form an alleyway I turned my attention and their he was Creed he was stumping around I took the opportunity to strike.

"Well hello handsome." I greeted.
