Chapter 82

Cheetah got more angered and dashed to Carnage, clawing at his chest but all she hit was an afterimage.

"Hmm, you seem too slow to handle me even moving at Mach 1." Carnage said, standing behind her and grabbing her tail. "Should I slow down?"

Making a loud Cheetah noise, she pulled her tail out of Carnage's lose grip and tied it around his neck. Surprised that her tail strangulation could be strong enough to almost crush his neck, Carnage grinned, understanding why she can be a problem to a demi-goddess.

Grabbing her tail, he raised her in the air before slamming her face down on the ground. Seeing she wasn't fazed by the attack, he kept slamming her on the ground, cracking the concrete.

"This is surprising." Carnage said. He wasn't surprised that she hadn't bleed once from all the slamming he has been doing to her but more surprised that the alarm system in these museums hasn't gone off. "Gotham has more security than this dump. Is that why you can steal so much? I mean, Catwoman can steal stuff in Gotham and I doubt you will be able to do that."

"Don't underestimate me!" Cheetah shouted, wrapping the tail he was holding around his arm and using it to pull herself up.

Grabbing his shoulders, she went to bite his neck. Carnage saw this coming but didn't dodge, not overestimating his defense bit confident that it can withstand her bite. He could handle a nuke now after all. But surprisingly, her bite was able to draw blood from his neck.

"What the fuck?" Carnage muttered, letting go of her tail and touching his neck. Feeling something, he looked at his hand, more shocked, "What the actual fuck?"

"Can't handle my bite?" Cheetah, who was on all fours, said, liking the blood out of her lips.

"Impossible. Physical attacks shouldn't be able to work on me unless your teeth are made of some kind of God sharpness or..." Removing his hand from his neck, slowly healed, he looked at Cheetah who was moving around him like she was looking for a chance to attack. "Magic."

"You got that right. My claws and teeth can penetrate anything." Cheetah said, stopping. "You will transform soon, be ready~"

Just as she said it, Carnage's body started transforming. Cheetah's ears grew on his head, his normal ears removing, as he grew a tail. Fur came out of his body and in less than 10 seconds, he transformed into a humanoid male cheetah.

"Oh no, I am cursed!" Carnage sarcastically said, before transforming to his old form, his cloth also appearing. "Come on dawg, is that all you can do?"

"W-what!?" Cheetah shouted, shocked, moving away from him. "How did you dispel the curse so easily?"

"Magic!" Carnage said, appearing next to her and grabbing her by her throat, "As you can see, I am stronger than you know, so will you join or continue fighting?"

"Yes." Cheetah replied, clawing at Carnage's arm, making it bleed, and the wound took longer to heal.

"So tell me, where did you get your powers from?" Carnage asked, letting her go.

Falling to the ground, Cheetah rubbed her throat before stretching like a feline, "Why should I tell you that?" Cheetah said, walking towards the vase she was going to steal.

'She can claw through the second skin and any injuries she put on me, takes longer to heal.' Carnage thought, watching Cheetah take the vase, the alarm going off. 'Magic... I need Magic...'

"Well, Wonder Woman will be here any minute now, and unless you want to see two women tussle, you can be on your way." Cheetah said, walking past Carnage.

"I will come to pick you up tomorrow, to meet up with the other members of the Injustice." Carnage said, disappearing with a red blur. 'Should I go to Batman and ask when we should meet up or go to Luther and ask for his answer? Na, forget Batman. He wants me to meet up with him and I won't waste my time asking him meeting date, not like I was going to go anyway. My most important thing right now is working on my brain, working with Luther to open the Mother Box, and finding a way to learn magic.'

Inside the mission control room of the Secret Sanctuary, the seven members of the Justice League was sitting in their designed seat. Flash and Green Lantern had to bring all of them from across the country to have this emergency meeting that Batman called up.

"What is the problem, Bruce." Superman asked, saying Batman's real name since they all already known each other secret identity.

"I will be having a meeting with Carnage." Bruce said, looking at all the members.

All, except Cyborg, was shocked. "What? Is it an ambush? Are we supposed to hide and when he comes we jump out and attack him?" Shazam asked, thinking of all the movies he watched with similar plots.

"No. We sit down and have dinner." Bruce said, everyone, becomes more stunned.

"What are you playing at Bruce? What is there to talk with him about? Like Shazam said we should ambush him and lock him up." Barry said, tapping his feet on the floor at super speed.

"No, that is a coward's move. We go out there and fight him like a true warrior." Diana, shaking her head.

"I agree with Barry and Shazam on this one. We ambush him, capture him, and lock him up." Hal said, knocking on his ring. "I can take care of the prison till he gets to the one Batman created."

Cyborg said nothing and looked at Clark, wanting to see what he will say.

"What is your plan, Bruce?" Clark asked, trusting what Bruce will suggest as the best plan.

"We sit down during dinner and talk." Bruce said, smiling.
