The Rishou Case PT1

I've taken this blog from Batman because well He really doesn't deserve another one. But I'm the leaving the posts from my ex teammates to chronicle this time in our lives, and why we left Batman's leadership.

I'm investigating the Rishou case as a promise to my fallen comrade in arms, Shi though she can't hear me where she is learning the answers to all questions. I look up the police files and along with Interpol Scotland Yard Etc, Etc.

There is really not much on this guy. He kills women based on a letter on of their name, he takes parts as trophies, and he's arrogant thinks law enforcement can't catch him.

Which may be true after he has actually hurt Supergirl oh sure to her it was like a mosquito bite, but us normal flesh and blood un-Girl of Steel types. That would hurt a lot if not out right kill.

So his inhuman power allowed him to beat Shi's skill. I look again at the criminal profile, FEH! This thing looks like it was written by a spider monkey. Actually a spider monkey would've been more coherent.

So I can't use that for investigative means. I'll have to look for other sources time to see an old friend/enemy. I found Lady Shiva fighting what looks like turtle men and killing them in New York.

When I emerge from the gaseous smoke cloud that adheres my mask on to my face, it gives enough distraction fro the green men to run into the sewers Ha! I knew it I said there were mutants in the sewers, But Green Arrow mocks me. Eat that you dead beat dad commie loser with a really stupid beard. !


Shiva gives me a snarl. “This had better be good Victor!"

“I didn't know you were into pest control Sandra."

“Those creatures were trained, albeit badly in the way of the ninja. They fought like yellow belts I was beginning to get bored." She Smiles. “So what do you want?"

The problem with Shiva is you don't know from one moment to the next if she’ll kiss you or smack you I have to be careful but I have to not waste her time. "Do you know anything about the serial Killer called Rishou?"

She looks me over. “And why are you interested in that maniac?"

"He killed a comrade in arms of mine."

She smiles “A pretty female no doubt."

“Well I will admit she was striking, yet she was into hairy cavemen from all indications."

“Well then Victor, he’s a Metahuman with no fighting ability whatsoever he claims to be the child of a god. And what he's doing will grant him god hood as well."

"Interesting. Any ideas where he could be?"

“None, what he does is the product of a truly sick mind no one can predict him."

“Thank you." I say as go back to my car.

“You owe me Victor!" She calls at me as I drive off. In the car I look at the files again are all his actions truly random? Is there a method to his madness? A pattern that only he sees?

Wait a second, all these women are connected somehow, Shi's went to the same gym as Rishou's first victim, and he saw Kara around Ana's apartment, though he didn't kill her. The "K" victim he did kill ate lunch next Kara in the airport.

He's on "L' who with the “L" initial is connected? As I'm pondering this, I hear Oracle's voice over my communicator “Be advised Laura Kinney aka X-23 has went missing in Kyoto Japan be on the look out."

Aha! Well looks like I'm going to Kyoto.

Supergirl: Is this the end of the Outlaws?

Shi is dead. Pretty much because she went in with a crazy ass plan that wouldn't work, and like no backup. Well maybe she wanted to die After the Logan thing who knows? But now I'm making myself the bait in Kyoto.

I've acting like the type he likes killing and being that he kills with names on the alphabet and his last victim’s name started with a "J' and mine stars with a "K" I knew he'd come after me sooner or later.

And he did. I walk down this dark alley, and this creepy dude grabs me, and puts a knife to my eyes. “Such pretty eyes, I don't think I've ever seen any that shade of blue before.

He rips open my shirt and his eyes go wide, no not because of my chest perverts he just realized who I am.

“You costumed freaks! Keep getting in the way of my holy work!" He slaps me on the face.

I grin. “That hurt sort of. My turn!" I hold back a lot on my back hand so I don't like splatter his head all over the wall. He flies to the other side of the alley. Turns out I should have ht him a bit harder, since he vanished, he was just poof! Gone!

I couldn't find him with my Super Vision, nor could I find him with my hearing. I put my hand on my face, he actually did hurt be a bit, Bullets bounce of me with out a tickle, and his punch felt like a blood wasp back on Krypton , not that painful but painful enough.

This boy isn't normal. I fly back to the Batcave to tell Bruce about it, and I hear Batman and Question arguing.

“You’re teaming with the enemy Bruce!"

“The Skrulls are the enemy now! Besides when he was in my office I scanned the armor in his bones. I also have a sample of the Extremis from his skin; I can defeat him anytime I want now."

“Ana is dead because of you!" Question yells swinging a fist that Bats catches. Then Batman elbows Question in the no-face. I get in between them. “Stop this we shouldn't fight with each other!"

Question stares, at least I think he does. “I forgot you registered didn't you? How did Superman feel about that?"

I roll my eyes. " Stark isn't that bad when you get to know him, SHHIELD Isn’t actually the evil empire you make them out to be, These damned Skrulls are really screwing it up for all of us. We like don't trust each other anymore. "

Question shakes his head. “We could never trust each other Those of us that did were delusional. And your problem Batman is that you spread yourself too thin. You protect Gotham, you work with the JLA, and you team up with Superman, and now you're going to help this future kid, defeat a future man. You try to everything Bats, and sometimes things slip through the cracks, this time it was Ana and her ill advised plan, next time it could be a nut with a city destroying bomb."

“Question you're out of line!" Batman growls.

“And you're out of time Batman; don't worry though I'll investigate the Rishou Case. You can get back to it whenever you have the time, and yes I'm finished being your puppet I've found I can do more by myself than hearing you yell into my ear with your gravelly voice. I'm done do what you want."

He walks out of the cave, While Scarlet Spider mumbles, "I've been thinking I haven't been doing enough, maybe I should find a city that needs a hero? Thanks for everything Bats, it's been real. "

Goku whined " I don't wanna work with Iron Man, he put my son in jail, he' bad news bye." He teleports out.

"Great first the Titans doesn't work out, now this team just fell apart." I complain.

Batman just looks over at me, “Don’t worry Kara I'll get you on a team."

“Hey can Nightwing be on it? Or maybe Hal Jordan?” I squeal. He just looks at me and makes that "Hh." noise then leaves with that other Batman from the future. Not sure what that means.
