After Battle analysis

-Lucas pov -

I looked upon the tome before me, it lay on my table in pristine condition. I chuckled, this thing better be worth the trouble.

When Dembe gave me his little speech about my greed at first I wanted to scoff at him and just retrieve the tome, I have gotten a lot stronger, especially when it comes to magic.

But, when I logically thought about what he said I needed to begrudgingly bow my head in defeat. I truly needed to slow down sometimes, I think since my brain works so fast sometimes I just get so excited and jump the proverbial gun.

So I devised a plan, a proper course of action. It was a three-pronged plan that benefited me in multiple ways, one it will help turn the tables on whoever set up this little trap, and two it will get allow me to use some gang members for something useful.

The first step of the plan was simple, I went out and found some gang members, then I had them dress as bums, that way they didn't stand out too much. From there I gifted them an item, a cloak to be exact. It was just to help them get away if they miraculously stole the tome.

The second step was more complicated, once whoever set the trap came out and discovered that it wasn't me but a bunch of bums then they will look for me, of which I will be making my appearance clear on top of the roof of a nearby building. This location is useful because I can freely turn into mist and my bat form, allowing for more diverse combat opportunities. Also, it allowed a perfect angle for Dembe to be set up.

Before my opponent even got to the roof I already had several weapons I pulled from books ready to use cutting down the time and effort needed for the fight.

Once my opponent was on the roof I planned to fight them, and win. I didn't expect Circs nor did I expect Klarion thankfully Wonder woman showed up or I would have been doomed.

That's where the next step of my plan sprung into action, the second group of mind-controlled people entered the museum and stole the Tome.

The fight was harder than expected, I didn't account for Klarion showing up, luckily Dembe was there watching over, when I saw the chaotic being I immediately told Dembe to aim for his cat, that being his anchor to the real world, it will take him some time before returning.

The new combat awareness and senses I got from the book definitely came in handy, without it I would have never been able to plan so effectively and prepare in the most efficient order.

The sword of Vengeance was something I recently read, instantly I could tell the potential the item held, but also the drawbacks. If Circe knew how to use it she could have sent it right back at me.

I looked over at Dembe a large smile spread across my face, "Not bad for a greedy vampire huh?"

He laughed, "not bad at all,"

On a whim, I opened my phone and checked DCO, a certain person was trending, I laughed looking at the title.

Tonight was a fulfilling experience. I poured some blood into a glass and some whisky for Dembe, "For the first fight where I wasn't mortally wounded," I raised my glass *ching!*

he clicked classes with me, "too many more in the future," he replied before we both downed our drinks

-Wonder Woman Pov -

Azreal, something about him felt familiar, a nagging feeling pricked at my mind ever since the battle.

It wasn't the feeling of meeting him before, no it was more like the feeling of knowing if someone is a demigod or in this case whatever he is. Surely he isn't human.

I returned as the early rays of golden sun illuminated Washington, I stood atop the roof of a tall building, my sword, and shield on my back while my lasso rested gently on my hip.

My arms spread as if I was greeting the arrival of the new day, "may Apollo bless the day," I whispered quietly while I basked in the peaceful, kind golden rays

My mind drifted toward the battle I just partook in, Circe wanted him for some reason, she wanted him enough for her to risk one of her Tomes, said tome actually got stolen.

She devised a trap, clearly meaning she took him as a serious threat, she even used some of the stronger magic I have seen.

I came to a simple conclusion, I need to find out more about him, if he will be a future friend or foe.

I mentally recalled the battle he had with the infamous Superman, maybe I should pay him a visit, and learn what he has to say about this Azreal.

The golden rays seemed to jump at my mental thought, I nodded to myself.

To metropolis.

-Viktor Blak-

I have been holed up in the Luthor base for quite some time now, my colleague's bodies began to smell but, I didn't mind. At least I didn't have to sit through their insistent chatter.

As I continued to work on the scientific miracle we were studying I grinned maniacally, I will crack the code, I will become something more!

'Open!'

'Open it!'

'Your so smart~'

'Adjust the biochemical factoring agent!'

I began to hear voices in my head on the third day, most would see it as a bad thing like they were crazy.

But not I!

I'm not crazy!

Every scientist is just a little eccentric!

"Hahaha!" I laughed loudly as one of the voices suggestions worked

I can do this! I will do this!

Soon it will be ready!

-Barry Allen pov -

I stepped off of the train, a large grin threatened to split my face. I was finally here! Starling City, the home of two vigilantes, one the green arrow and the other Azreal, I like the green arrow a lot more.

I opened my phone to DCO and watched the footage from this live stream, they barely caught anything but the fight was mesmerizing.

Maybe they had something to do with what killed my mom?

No Barry focus! I need to first look at the lead here that I can actually access. As I approached the crime scene I repeated 'confidence equals the truth' 'appear confident' 'be confident' in my head.

I can't afford to miss this! If I do I will never forgive myself, even if I get into a lot of trouble it will be worth it if I can figure something out.

I just need a sign, anything would work at this point.

Right before I entered the crime scene a confident lazy smirk played on my lips, nodding my head I mentally shouted, 'IM READY!'.

"Comming through,"

"Forensics,"

"On your left big guy,"

The words just seemed to effortlessly leave my mouth, "out of the way forensics," I said to the man in front of me

He turned around, a more confident smirk than mine was on his face, I recognized who it was immediately.

"My deepest apologies," he said and I swear I saw amusement flash across his face

"Uhh yeah thanks" I mentally face palmed at my response

Smooth Allen smooth.

"Lucas Queen and you?" the man asked looking intently at my face as if he was studying me

"B-Barry Allen?" I replied this is so embarrassing

He chuckled, "You're not sure?"

"Sorry haha just nervous my name is Barry Allen I loved interstellar," I replied scratching my cheek

"Thanks, it's always nice to meet a fan," he replied

"I haven't seen you before, are you new?" he asked

Well with his family's reputation they would know every cop.

"I was sent from Central City," I replied now looking at the crime scene

This looks like a possible lead!

Scientist is an Oc btw so you wont find anything on him
