DC Universe: X

Clayface

Odyssey: Part 4, Queen Penelope's Trial

Michael drove you to Las Vegas as he promised, dropping you off at the bus station, and giving you a brotherly, though slightly uncomfortable, hug.

Michael drove off to catch his flight, leaving you at the city of sin.

You walked into the bus station, and decided to get a drink from the vending machine.

The phone Harley gave you began to ring.

You took the phone out of your pocket, expecting Harley to be calling you, but saw "Unknown" on the call tag.

You hesitated to answer, but curiosity got the better of you.

X: Who is this?

Rox: X? It's Rox, they-they kidnapped me.

X: What? Who!? Who has you!?

Rox: I don't know, they say they will kill me if you don't come to a warehouse, it's location is being sent to you by text. Please help me!

You heard someone take the phone from Rox.

Waller: You heard her, come to the warehouse, unarmed and alone, or she dies.

Waller hung up on you.

In a panic, you ran outside, and received the location of the warehouse.

When you memorized the warehouse' location, you destroyed the phone, and set off to the warehouse.

You quickly and recklessly ran into the warehouse, which was completely dark except for one overhead light illuminating the center of the room.

You were blinded by the quick flash of the warehouse lights.

Once you regained your sight, you saw that you were surrounded by armed soldiers.

Waller: Don't move.

You looked up, and saw Waller holding down Rox, with a gun to her head.

Waller: Your to predictable, a Romeo coming to save his Juliet.

X: Just let her go! You have me!

Waller: True, I do have you, but your to dangerous to be allowed to live.

X: So after sending bounty hunters to catch me alive, you're just going to personally come on down to Vegas as off me!

Waller: No, I don't do the dirty work, he does.

Waller pointed down, and you saw a figure emerge from the shadows

The figure was you.

X: Wha-What the hell is this!?

Clone: This is the performance of a lifetime! I will play the chosen warrior!

X: Chosen? Chosen for what!?

Clone: You don't know? You are-

Waller: Unless you want to be turned into dust, I suggest you kill him Karlo, now.

Clone: Very well, let the show begin!

Your clone's arm turned into a hammer, and hit you with great force, staggering you.

Your clone followed up by slamming you into the ground, cracking it.

You thought of Rox, and of how you were her last hope.

You picked yourself up, and summoned a pair of fisticuffs.

You struck your clone with powerful blows, knocking him back.

With one, powerful punch to the face, you went your clone flying through the warehouse wall, and into a stack of oil drums outside, which exploded upon impact.

The catwalk that Waller stood on became unstable, and Rox used this opportunity to break free from her grasp, kicking her off the catwalk.

As the soldiers frantically escaped the collapsing warehouse, Rox went out the back door.

Rox: X? X, are you here? Please tell me your ok!

Tears rolled down Rox face, thinking you had died.

X: Rox! I'm here!

Rox saw you through the smoke

Rox: X! Thank god, I thought you-

Rox was interrupted by you being tackled by you.

Rox: What? Who is the real X!?

X: Rox, it's me! You know it is!

X2: Don't listen to this con! It's me Rox!

Rox pulled a gun from her waist.

Rox: Look! There is only one way to prove who is the real Rox!

Rox switched her aim in between the two Xs.

Rox: See that row of tires? Only the real X could shoot a bullet through all of them!

Rox tossed them both pistols.

Rox: You get one shot each.

The two steadied their aims at the opening of the tires, and fired.

One missed, the other fired through the tires perfectly.

Rox aimed at the one who missed.

Rox: Got you.

Before Rox could fire, your clone grabbed her with a tentacle.

Your clone began to change into a large monster composed of clay.

Clayface: Time for your big scene Juliet!

Clayface formed a Axe from his arm, and was ready to kill Rox.

Then, you summoned a spear, and hit Clayface in the eye.

Clayface dropped Rox, and you catches her in your arms.

With intense focus, you made the spear lodged into Clayface's eye explode, causing him to melt into a pile of clay and disappear into a sewer grate.

You held Rox in your arms, worried for her well being.

X: Rox? Are you ok?

Rox: yeah, I didn't think you would come.

X: What? I would never leave you.

Rox's face blushed.

The romantic scene was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot, and a pain in your arm.

Waller had grazed your arm with a pistol.

To save you, Rox aimed her gun at Waller, and fired, hitting her in the leg.

Waller fell to the ground, holding her leg in pain as Rox stood over her, aimed at her head

Rox: You don't come after him again, do you understand?

Waller gave Rox a enraged look, which Rox replied with by stepping on her wound.

Rox: Do! You! Understand!

Waller let out a pained yell.

You placed your hand on Rox's shoulder.

X: Rox, it's over, let it go.

Rox dropped the gun, and you held her, feeling her tears on your chest.

You both left the warehouse.

Timeskip, the next day
Batman: You went over the line Waller, we need him alive.

Waller: I had him.

Batman: By using a innocent woman as bait

Waller: A necessary risk, I was trying to stop the damn apocalypse!

Batman: We need him to stop the apocalypse! And if you can't do that....

Then I will.
