And now the endgame of Act 1 is set. The villains are ready to begin, the heroes are in chaos.... all has been leading to this arc. Each side will be tested to their absolute limits. But, as of this moment, the edge would have to go to the Injustice Squad. I mean, they already had 11 powerful members, but now they have Cry who they turned, and then Harper as a hostage, yeah, it's not looking good for the hero side. Can they pull out the win at the end of the day? Even I don't know at this point because they literally need a miracle to come out on top. And even with Wrath Queen finally making her return, it still may not be enough.Now, let's get right back into the action. Enjoy!


-POV: Harper-

"Please..... anyone........" I muttered to myself as I laid on the bed in the room I was locked into. It had been hours since I was kidnapped, and at this point, I'd basically given up on hoping to be saved. I could hear people walking around outside my room, but not once since Cry left did anyone come in. 

"Why take me? Of all people, why did it have to be me?" I questioned as someone knocked on my door. 

"You're not welcome to come in." I said to whoever it was as the door was unlocked. Coming in was Markus who closed the door behind him and then pulled over a chair to sit on. 

"How's our guest doing?" He asked me as I sat up on the bed and faced him. 

"Bite me, asshole." I told him as he just smiled.

"Yeah, I kinda expected that." Markus said. 

"What did you guys do to Cry? How did you make him forget who he was and make him think he's your son?" I asked as Markus sighed and leaned back in his chair. 

"One of ours, his name is Gregory. He is probably one of the greatest doctors in the world, maybe even to ever live. One of the most talented brain surgeons out there. But his experiments got him kicked out of all society. But, it was those experiments which lead to Cry being born again into my world. You see, Gregory's quirk allows him to take control of someone's blood. By diverting the blood in Cry's brain, then rearranging the sections and flesh, he was able to forcefully remove memories from his mind." Markus explained to me as I just listened in pure horror. 

"How did you get him to think he's your son then?" I asked. 

"I donated a large portion of my own blood. Gregory used it, hardened it into a fleshy tissue, then implanted it into Cry's brain. He discovered that blood can contain memories as well. So, by putting some of mine in, my own memories were now in Cry's mind. My deepest memory, about the son I always wanted but could never have. And that's what it took to make him believe it all. And he believes my pregnant wife, who was sadly murdered with my unborn son, is also his mother, not that trash of a pro hero, Wrath Queen." Markus explained to me. 

"And what about me? Are you gonna do the same thing to me as you did him? Gonna make me think i'm your daughter?" I asked Markus as he shook his head. 

"No, no..... No, we have other plans for you. We wouldn't be a real team of villains if we didn't take a hostage, would we?" Markus said to me. 

"So then what're you gonna do to me?" I asked him. 

"Ah, ah, ah. Not telling. It'll spoil the surprise. But... if all goes according to plan, you will walk away from all this with your life. But that is a very big if." Markus told me as someone else started knocking on the door now. 

"Yeah, come in." Markus said as he looked back to the door. The owl girl named Poppy came in to see him. 

"I got them, boss. Vassago was kind enough to give me some small packages." Poppy told Markus as he nodded his head.
