?: The answers bring more questions.

My curiosity has been my defining trait ever since I became the Question. Though that trait is not making my teammates all that happy. I was the one that discovered this conspiracy in Shield that has us here now.

I was hacking the computer files while the others were keeping the super solders off my back. Unfortunately I had a communications device in each ear. Batman in one, while Oracle was in another.

Oracle was reading these stupid fan fiction websites and telling me who people thought were together. All of them are wrong. “Spoiler and Batgirl? Bwhahahahahaha!”
I hear Barbra Laugh. It hurts my ear.

“When I taught them” I interrupt. “Batgirl only let one person near her comfort zone, any one else she punched in the face, and Spoiler was punched a lot. Also Stephanie is so into to Robin it’s almost funny. So who am I supposed to be with in their little fantasies?”

“Well since everyone thinks your dead…”

Batman growls into my other ear “This all very interesting.” I can tell from his tone he doesn’t believe it is all. “But Question isn’t there to play the Gossip Game. “

“Don’t worry I’m good at multitasking. “ I reassure. “So you were saying, Oracle?”

“Oh you faked your death. So no one really believes you’re with anyone. “

“I have a Question Oracle. Do you not have anything better to do?”

She changes the subject. “So why did you fake your Death?”

“That is the Question.”

She sighs. “You’re an annoying man Victor Sage.”


“You let your self get annoyed Miss Gordon.”

Supergirl shouts. “Aren’t you about finished Question? I’d like to actually get home tonight. “

I get passed the last firewall at that moment. “What are you worried about Kara you are invulnerable.”

I shrug and put in a disk I begin copying everything. I sit back and dodge a web ball from the Scarlet Spider. Finally it downloads. “Okay everyone we can go.”


After Goku teleports us all back, it takes me about three days to. Sift through all the data. I don’t like what I find.

Later.

“What do you mean Fury and Stark don’t know about the experiments?” Our new recruit Shi loudly queries. I assume she’s had a run in with SHIELD.

“Because as much as I’d love to find something to put Tony Stark away for the rest of his life. He’s not behind the super soldier? Cloning experiments, Etc. Is a colonel named Joseph Franks. He is planning something, something big. “

Batman glares. “Find out what Victor.”

The next day we fight our way through to Franks. “So what is this?” He smiles a creepy smile. “You super villains want to use me as a hostage? But none of you are truly villains are you? ”

How did he know that? He keeps smiling “So Batman is behind all this huh?”

“You’re a telepath.” I guess.

“Among other things” He laughs. “You are not going to bring me in for my crimes you know. In fact I will tear you apart.” In that second he becomes a White Martian. Huh. That answers some things, but brings up a whole bunch of other questions. Good thing for me I love answering those that is if we get out of this alive.
