Nature Hike
Lindsay had been on a number of missions for Project Cadmus and had traveled to a number of different locations across the United States and the globe.  Had it been under other circumstances, she might have enjoyed the opportunity to travel, even if it also occasionally meant ending up in the middle of nowhere Louisiana fighting genetic experiments who looked like something out of one of the cartoons her children had watched.   And Roger and Johnny were pretty good company, truthfully, even if Roger took some getting used to.

But now they were hiking through the middle of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, on some wild goose chase about possible alien sightings.

Now, Lindsay knew that aliens were real.  You didn't grow up in a world that boasted the likes of Superman, Starfire, and had seen numerous alien Green Lanterns, among others, over the course of the years and not believe in aliens.  It wasn't even a question of belief.  These things just were.

But she had a hard time believing that if aliens were still coming here that they would pick a place like this.

"One of these days," she said to her two companions, "we have got to get a better plan than wandering about until we get attacked by whatever we're looking for."

"It's eaten someone?" Lindsey asked. She quickly shot Johnny a glance. "Don't worry. Me and Roger won't let you get eaten. Promise."

Roger shook the man's hand and then patted Johnny on the shoulder. "No beautiful toxic women are getting eaten on my watch."

A beat. "Or anyone else, regardless of beauty level."

"Great. I'm going to be an appetizer." Johnny sighed. "Okay let's go find a monster and get this over with."

"Don't reckon you folks want to be tramping 'round these woods with it gettin' dark," the man said. "Me and the others, our campsite ain't far from here. We was gonna hold out until dawn..."

"I think we'll manage," Lindsey said. Her and Roger, at least. She had night vision and he'd probably evolve echolocation or God knows what else.

Then again, there was Johnny to think of. "Wouldn't hurt to have a look in on your friends anyway."

As long as he wound up under enough stress, probably.

"It's decided then. Please, lead us to your frontier abode."

Johnny was relieved that they had decided to check out the camp site, mostly because if there were other people who smelled edible, she wouldn't be the first bite. And that gave her time to run like hell, something she'd practiced way too much lately.

"Forward ho."

It wasn't much, just a couple of tents, some logs, and a fire. Two other men were already sitting there. Both had rifles near by. The son was dipping low in the sky, coloring everything blood red.

"I know they're a little freaky," their guide said to his friends, "but they say they're here to help."

"Good luck to 'em if they can stop those critters," one added.

"What can you tell us about them?" Lindsey asked.

She ratcheted up her sensors a notch, just in case.

Roger sat down by the fire, offering handshakes to the men there. "Roger Smith, freelance monster hunter."

Hands were shook. "I'm Jake," the one they'd been talking to said. "And this is Bill, Kurt, and Ronnie."

"We were... we were out hunting, and these... thing things came out of nowhere and attacked us," Ronnie said. "They... they took Paulie."

Well. That was... definitely bad.

"If he's alive," Lindsey said, "We'll get him back."

There was a sudden, audible crack, like a twig being stepped on and snapped.

"Did you find any pieces of him or hear anything? Any way you can describe how he was taken will help."

Johnny about jumped out of her skin at the snapping noise.

Lindsey jumped too. Most of her body was metal, but her brain was still hardwired for certain reactions, and that was one of them.

Her sensors hadn't detected anything either...

She was the hunters reaching for their guns.

Three horrific, winged creatures sprang from the woods, letting out a feral growl as they tried to surround the Doom Patrol and the hunters.

Roger just stared in all directions.

"Woah...."

He pointed at one of the creatures. "Okay, I'm naming that one Stan."

"You are NOT naming them. They are not pets!"

Johnny is up on her feet in a hurry, yanking her gloves off. If one of those things is going to eat her, she's going to give it one hell of a stomach ache.

One of the creatures jumped in front of Roger, trying to take a bite out of him. The others were heading right for the hunters.

Lindsey intercepted one of them, landing a blow across its nose. It staggered back, grunted, and charged forward again.

"What the...?"

"What? You think he's more of a Leo--" Is as much as Roger gets out before jaws come down on his head.

His body goes still for a moment, and then it surges out of the bandages, engulfing the creature, leading to it flopping around on the ground, before standing up.

Encased in fluid, it speaks, in Roger's voice. "Well... this is different." He lumbers towards the other monsters.

The one Lindsey had attacked came at her again, capturing her arm in its bite. It didn't manage to shatter anything, though it broke through some of the skin.

The hunters took potshots at the creatures with their weapons, but the bullets bounced off.

The last turned to the one Roger was currently sliming. It made a barking sound in its direction.

Lindsey grabbed its snout with her free hand, cursing all the while. "Now's a good time, Johnny!"
