Game On
Two days after her recruitment mission, Angela Holt sits inside a warehouse bunker in Star City. She pores over the maps of the Super-Max prison intently as she waits for the others to arrive. The warehouse was decent for tonight's purposes, but they needed a much better, much more secure facility. Belle Reve was an option, but that was too close to St. Roch and Angela didn't want to take the chance of going there and reopening old wounds.

When everyone arrives, Angela looks up and nods to each of them in turn.

"Thank you for coming. If you're ready to get down to work, we can get started." she says.

	"Now what do you think that is?" Merlyn asks, readying another arrow as he moves forward to get a closer look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ravager had her swords out in front of her. "Probably one of the girlfriends of one of the inmates," Rose said. "Seems logical." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, she's not much of a bargaining chip in that case." Robert says, taking aim with a knockout gas arrow, as he steps forward...and sees something else. He moves back toward Rose. "It's a cage fighting competition. They're using the inmates as combatants." he says. "And you'll never believe who's fighting right now." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Slade Wilson stood in the center of the makeshift ring, raining down blows on his latest opponent for the Warden's pleasure. She kept trying to entice him, to seduce him, but each time she failed. He looked up at the woman, in the center of all her guards and smiled. She thinks they'll keep her safe. She's wrong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert hears Rose's words, which echo his own thoughts on the matter. "The /how/ doesn't matter. We're getting him out of here." Merlyn says, readying an arrow to fire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're not here for him," Rose spat. "If he wants out so bad, someone else can do it. He's not who we're here for." She glared daggers at her father. "He can rot here, for all I care." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you /serious/?" Robert asks. "He's your father, and the closest thing to one I've ever had. I'm getting him out of here. Besides, he can help us get whoever we're here for." Robert says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course, it was around this time that one of the guards looked down the hall and happened to see them, alerting his fellows. Six heavily armed men turn and fire at Robert and Rose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't give a rat's ass about him," Rose said, still glaring at him. "He's knows that." Rose dove when the guards started firing at them. "Damnit," she muttered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, now that they're being shot at, Robert decides that not killing anyone is out of the question. He also ducks behind cover, the orients himself toward his attacks and looses an arrow.

"Ravager! I've got an idea, but you're going to have a limited window to pull it off." he yells.

Merlyn draws another arrow and fires into the floor in front of the group. It sticks up in the floor, and there's a bright flash followed by a loud boom in the space.

"And I thought trick arrows were a lame gimmick." Robert says, noting that the flash-bang arrow was worthy of its name.

	The guards are disoriented by the flash-bang arrow, a couple of them dropping their weapons and covering their ears. They all stop firing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Merlyn and Ravager dc_misc 2010-11-14 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Rose nodded, springing towards the woman. She grabbed her, putting her sword to her throat. "You really don't want to tempt me," she said to the guards. "Because I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Merlyn and Ravager dc_misc 2010-11-14 04:48 am UTC (link)
	The woman's eyes widen as Rose holds the sword to her throat. "Put the guns down you idiots!" the woman commands. The guards obey, laying their weapons on the floor. "Whoever you are, you're making a /big/ mistake. I will wreck your life if you go through with whatever you're here for." she says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm gonna go on a limb and guess that this woman is a Mover around here." Robert says.

"We want the prisoner in Block D, Bay 347 and Slade Wilson. Give us both of them and everyone here goes home to their families tonight.

Piss us off and the body count the police show up to is going to be legendary." Merlyn says, adjusting the vest of his black costume.

The woman's eyes widen as she looks at him.

"Slade Wilson /is/ the prisoner in D-Block 347, you idiot." she says.

	"Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me," Rose snarled, holding the blade closer to the woman's throat. The look she gave her father was one that would put him six feet under right there, if looks could kill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, it's true!" the woman says, suddenly fearful for her life. She doesn't want to die. "He shot someone named Roy Harper a few days ago and he's being held here until his trial next week! If you take him, you're committing a federal crime!" the woman says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lady, we're breaking /into/ a federal prison to kidnap a /criminal/. Do we /look/ like people worried about the law?" Merlyn asks her. "We're taking Slade Wilson. You're going to tell us where his possessions are." Merlyn says. Then he walks into the cellblock and looks down on Slade. "Slade Wilson! You're coming with us. Now." he says.

Slade looks up at the person talking to him and thinks, for a moment, that Oliver Queen has lost his damn mind. Breaking to Super-Max to come after him for shooting down Harper is stupid.

Then Slade realizes that if it /was/ Queen, there would be an arrow in his head already.

It takes him a moment to place the build of his rescuer, but by the Slade can barely believe it.

"Robbie..?"

He heads for the nearest set of stairs and makes his way up to their level, looking upon his apprentice with a gleam in his remaining eye.

"Good job, boy. You pull this off alone?" he asks, looking around.

And then Slade sees Rose.

"Hello, daughter." Slade says, offering her a small smile and waiting to see how Rose would react.

	"Dad," Rose said, in a tone that most people would reserve for telemarketers and Darkseid. If Checkmate hadn't promised her information on her mother, she'd tell her father and Robert to go screw themselves and leave them right there. "C'mon," she said to Robert, "We need to meet up with the others and get the hell out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good. This place stopped being interesting about two minutes ago." Robert says, looking at the woman. "You're still coming with us to ensure our escape. Same deal as before; cooperate and you live." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Merlyn and Ravager dc_parent 2010-11-14 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Rose was /still/ angry with him. She held grudges as well as any Wilson, including him. "Ravager, Merlyn, thank you for the assist. I just want my possessions and then we can go." Slade says. He pauses. "Is Harper dead?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
