Renegade (Arkhamverse)

Chapter 9

Three mercenaries opened fire on a single target.

That target was me, A cackling Renegade who was having the time of his life.

Their armor percing rounds couldn't shred my new suit.

I decided to show off my acrobatic skills, expertly flipping through the air over their heads. Tossing three pellets containing high-density polyurethane foam that covered the mercenaries cementing them in place.

I slit their throats quickly, giving them the honor of a quick death.

I had created the polyurethane foam pellets myself, incase I ever ran out of Explosive ones.

Slade, when I had spoke to him after my mother somehow entered the bunker. had mentioned that he wanted me to finish a contract for him.

The mercenaries I had just killed were hired to protect this girl along with police officers and S. W. A. T 

Her name, Barbra Gordon,  the commissioners daughter. Why she was wanted dead I didn't know. I didn't ask questions, all slade had said was to kill her and I'd get his payment for myself.

I scanned the rooftops, carefully looking for the bat, I knew he was previously seen at the GCPD building.

I could only assume he had come into contact with miss Gordon indirectly or even directly.

It was much safer to assume than it was not to.

There was no sign of Bruce, thankfully.

I was standing on a rooftop that overlooked the entire GCPD building.
I saw multiple officers, all armed with guns.

I thought i saw a familiar figure crouched in the darkness and I almost cursed. The bat had arrived right on time.

Having scouted out my surroundings
And planning out my attacks I struck.

I tossed three flash bang grenades at multiple officers, shooting them in the head with expert aim.

Four officers dropped dead.

The others had recovered from the Flash bangs and began to fire at me; they all missed.

A bullet flew through a S.W.A.T officers head and Slade joined in on the fun, sword in hand he began to slice through the remaining officers
while I handled my own.

I unseated my sword and followed my father's example, decapitation was the way to go after all.

As the headless officers fell to the floor I turned to Slade grinning like a mad man.

"I can't believe you're out!"

"Was it waller?"

"It was waller."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, your security sucks. A blind lady managed to get In a few hours ago."

"Who?"

"My mother."

"She can't tell the court she found you because she didn't actually see you."

I nodded.  "She said my name."

"Your birth name?" Slade asked softly.

"Roy Talod." I nooded.

"you told me your second name but you never said you were a Roy, i don't know why but when I think of the name Roy I think of an ill tempered ginger boy."

"An interesting thought process I'm sure, but can we please get to killing Barbra Gordon."

"She's not here."
