Chapter 173

I arrived in Gotham. And after all, as if one "eared" knew that I had arrived - he called me.

"We're on the roof of the old Gotham fire station.

- OK. - and the next moment I stand next to him and a whole bunch of people. - I see many have gathered.

And so it is. Batman, Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, Huntress, Sasha Bordeaux, Power Girl and two more ladies:

Name: Dina Laurel Lance / Black Canary

Level Granted: 40

Race: Methuman

Class 1: Guardian

1 Subclass: Master BI.

Trait: BI Master, Willpower, Lonely Woman, Mental Trauma, Scream.

Age: 25 years old

Characteristics: see details.

And after that I looked at a girl of her own age, unfamiliar to me:

Name: Evelyn Crawford

Level Granted: 37

Race: Human

Class 1: Guardian

1 Subclass: Master BI

2. Class: Warrior.

1 Subclass: Mercenary.

2 Subclass: Spy.

Trait: BI Master, Weapon Master, Mercenary, Willpower, Lonely Woman, Mental Trauma, Former Soldier.

Age: 25 years old

Characteristics: see details.

- And you, I suppose, are the new members of our small group for the salvation of the mortal world?

- Yes. - Dina nodded proudly. - I am Black Canary.

- Call me Yves. Crawford raised her hand.

Well, for the life of me I can't remember her. Although her instinct suggests that she is not a passing resident of Gotham. Although Bats may have hired her ...

- How much time do we have? - the cheerful mood of acquaintance was interrupted by the aforementioned mouse.

- Four hours and 38 minutes.

- Wow, exactly. Where does such knowledge come from in the invasion of little green men? The mercenary asked.

- God said. I shrugged.

And he didn't lie.

- Wow, and what?

- It does not matter. I propose to distribute in pairs and select areas for protection. The police received new uniforms and weapons to help them. But I think our help will not be superfluous.

- I agree, how will we share?

- I'm with Canary. - said Eve.

- I'm with Robin. - Nightwing decided for two

- Well, I think we are together. - passed off as the two remaining Huntress.

It looks like everyone has decided "according to their interests."

- Bats, and I see today is a wonderful night for a romantic meeting under the lasers of aliens? - I smiled at him.

"I knew something was wrong with the Night Knight. Evelyn sighed feignedly. - But there was a hope of capturing him.

- Calm down, Eve. The Canary shouted at her.

- Hey, wait, what about me? - finally woke up and Kara. - Me to whom to pair?

- Have you forgotten about me? - Sasha twitched an eyebrow.

- Sasha, you'd better get back to base. - apparently worried about Alfred. - Prepare the operating room there, just in case. The fight will most likely be hot.

- Very hot. - added next.

- Good. - She nodded in displeasure and headed downstairs.

And why did he even drag her here then? However, it does not matter.

- So who will I be with?

"It would be nice if you could monitor Gotham from the air. - I answered her. - I think this will be more effective from our work.

- Yes, it is logical. - agreed kryptonka.

- Put on the transmitters. So we can communicate with each other and coordinate actions.

- Then why oh why let me put my marks on you? Then I can pull someone out of the heat or throw help.

- Isn't it dangerous? Well, these "seals". - and why did she shiver so?

- No. Let's just say a temporary tattoo. She's harmless. And at your request, I will remove it after the end of the "party".

They looked at each other. And then they nodded uncertainly.

Then we allocated the districts and split up. Rather, everyone left in pairs, and Batman and I remained on the roof of the same building.

Minutes dragged on for hours. It got on my nerves. I mentally contacted Nigma and received information that so far everything is calm and no "unhealthy" activity in the world has been noticed.

There was a lull.

The most interesting thing even Gotham directly felt that something serious was approaching and therefore only the sound of cars and a working generator were heard.

- Where are the Green Lanterns? I broke the silence.

- One in New York, the other in Washington.

- Good.

Silence again. I couldn't even find a word for dialogue from my nerves. I had to use samogenjutsu to calm down and put my nerves in order.

But I had no desire to start a conversation.

So, in silence, we sat, or rather lost it, until a huge crater of dark purple color opened in the sky and from there the creatures began to attack first ... hundreds, and then several more ships the size of a wagon appeared.

- Started.

- Alfred! Launch rockets and launchers. Also launch the drones.

"Yes, Master Bruce.

From the roofs of some houses, bright flashes immediately flew out and rushed into these columns of creatures that are called parademons.

BOOM BOOM !!!

A series of explosions in the sky lit up the city with a crimson glow. But when it cleared up, we realized that the ships remained intact. They apparently had shields. But that was not so bad. Thousands of these creatures were already following them.

- Eh! We'll have to spend chakra. - and immediately created several dozen clones and sent them into the sky.

And he himself summoned his armor and armed himself with a large-caliber machine gun.

- How did you decide to cope without a gun, limiting yourself to only drones? - I asked Bats, but he did not answer. - Okay, you don't want to talk, don't talk.

I opened the fire right there. The shelling from our side, as well as from the side of the police that was below and the drones that soared in the sky with Kara and my clones.

Kara took up the ships. It was difficult for her to break through the shields, but still she was able to do it and destroyed almost everything. Except for one, which was placed by my clone in the "Inventory" under the guise of a covered row of explosions. He himself weighed not so much: only ten tons. Although I expected that half of the free space would take up.

That's what Apokolips' advanced technology means!

The mess was excellent, I no longer paid attention to the system messages about increasing the level of skills, experience and even levels. Although no, I realized that I had already typed two whole levels. After all, there was a sea of ​​creatures. And they all came.

Then three more ships emerged from the crater, but more. Kara could not pierce them with lasers or brute force. And Wayne's technology didn't help in any way.

I was smart and went up into the sky, grabbed two ships on the sides with "chakra-paws" and pushed them onto the middle one.

They succumbed hard, but succumbed to movement. It turned out even more difficult to hold them for more than a minute, until the shields go out and they collide with each other. But it was worth it. The explosion was such that I was even thrown to the ground. I was barely able to regain my balance. And, as it turned out, I was still lucky.

Kara won into the roof of the cathedral ...

The funnel is closed.

It was good, of course, but the problem was that there were several thousand parademons left in Gotham.

At that moment, I received a message from the system that something came to the tablet that was in the "Inventory".

These were photographs from the Riddler. Washington, which also had the same parademons, but besides that, a couple of small ships and one large flagship. Some of them showed several groups of "flying women", and if you look closely, the last one showed how the "man" from the flagship began to hover over the city.

- Here you are, Darkseid, and showed up.

He went down to Bats and showed the photo.

- Guys, act without us for now. We are in Washington. Power Girl, when you're done here come join us.

- Accepted! - They all answered almost in unison.

And after that I, together with Batman, teleported to our glorious capital ...

To be continued…
