Multiverse Reborn: Legends

Chapter 10

"We have arrived in Central City Captain." Gideon said.

"Excellent. Have you located our next recruit." Rip said.

"Yes however, he will not be as easy to get to as the others." Gideon warned.

"Let me worry about that. Have you devised an infiltration plan?" Rip asked.

"Yes I have captain." Gideon assured him.

"Good, then my next recruit is going to be Dr. Nathaniel Heywood, also known as Steel." Rip said, thinking that this one would likely be the easiest one to recruit out of them all.

Nate Heywood couldn't believe just how much his life sucked right now. Or really, ever since that particle accelerator thing that blew up a few months ago. At first, it had seemed pretty cool, since not only had he developed powers, but his hemophilia had been cured as well. His powers were that he could turn his skin into an alloy that was stronger than steel and made him stronger.

However, shortly after his powers appeared, he was scooped up by some kind of clandestine government agency and he was being forced to serve both a weapon and guinea pig, since this director lady, Amanda Waller he was pretty sure was her name, was threatening his parents. Well, more like his mother, since Waller couldn't get a high ranking DOD official like his father without drawing suspicion, but still.

"Well, well, good morning agent Steel." Waller said as she walked up to his cell.

"It was until you came along." Nate sneered, though he had to admit, while he hated Waller, she did come up with a good name.

"I see you're still lippy." Waller said.

"So, am I going on a mission today or is it off to the laboratories?" Nate asked sarcastically.

"Training room today." Waller said and Nate sighed, however, suddenly, the power went out for a minute.

"What's going on?" Waller asked one of her agents.

"An EMP just took out the primary generator and the backups are barely holding." the agent said.

"Divert all non essential power to the metahuman dampeners." Waller said.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." a new voice said and they turned to see a british man in a long brown trench coat, carrying a futuristic looking gun walk into the room.

"Who are you and how did you get here?" Waller asked.

"That's none of your concern. What you should be concerned about is what happens next." Rip said as he shot a laser blast at the locking mechanism on Nate's cell, disabling both it and the power dampeners.

Despite that Nate, still looked unsure.

"Your mother is safe. Your father has been tipped off about a potential hit being placed on her, not that he knows it's because of you." Rip said and now Nate grinned as he stepped out of his cell.

"Return to your cell at once." Waller demanded.

"You're not the boss of me anymore. And I'm really going to enjoy this." Nate said as he steeled up.

"Open fire." Waller said to the guards.

"You really think that will work?" Nate asked as the bullets bounced off him. It's clear that they were planning on dealing with him with the aid of power dampeners, since these were normal bullets.

He then proceeded to use his training on the same people who gave it to him, quickly disabling the guards while Waller tried to make a getaway, only to have Rip stop her.

"What do you want?" Waller asked, right as Rip pointed his gun at her head.

"To remove any unnecessary complications from the timeline. Such as yourself." Rip said as he pulled the trigger effortlessly, thinking that he'd just done Oliver Queen a favor.

"I wanted to do that. Whoever you are." Nate complained as he walked up to him.

"I'm sure you'll forgive me after I get you out of here." Rip said and before Nate could ask him what he meant, Rip used his flash device to knock him out.
