Ch: 101 [Showdown pt1]

    [Location: Bluevilla Mall]

    Selina and Diana reached Bluevilla Mall. It was a huge abandoned mall with no security guards or cameras. There wasn''t even a light source inside the building, making them wonder how anyone could stay there without being noticed. The place seemed creepy. Selina activated night vision mode in her visor. Diana followed her quietly as they entered the building. They carefully scanned the place and tried to make out any movements.

    A sudden movement caught their attention, making them stop walking forward and look ahead.

    "What was that?" Diana whispered while Selina kept looking around cautiously.

    "Just a big rat..." Selina sighed softly seeing the rodent run away.

    They resumed walking ahead again and went to the second floor.

    "What in the freaking world?!" Selina was stunned.

    Suddenly the mall lit up like a Christmas tree as all lights turned on at once startling both Selina and Diana. "What the hell?!" Diana looked around and saw they were surrounded by fifty or more masked men. They were all dead and were hanging on almost invisible threads. In short, they were like mannequins, nonliving objects. Selina scanned them and saw there weren''t any bones or organs inside these people. Only machines. There weren''t any life signatures. She scanned the entire mall, but except for those machines, there wasn''t anyone.

    "This is some sick stuff..." Diana muttered seeing the horrifying scene.

    Suddenly music started playing loudly from somewhere unknown startling Diana and Selina. It was an old song from ''Alice in Wonderland'' movie. Selina recognized the tune, Alice''s Theme Song - Alice In Wonderland (Instrumental Cover). She had seen the movie many times when she was younger.

    Diana took out her sword and took a fighting stance, seeing all those mannequin-like bodies dancing along to the tune of the song, "Careful." She warned Selina seeing one of them walk close toward them slowly. It looked creepy as hell.

    "Oh, fuck it," Selina aimed her right hand toward the hoards of dolls surrounding them and fired multiple mini-missiles, destroying the entire floor within a blink of an eye. "We need to go to Bruce. There isn''t anyone here. It was a decoy." Just then, she received a call from Ivy. "Ivy?! What happened?" Selina asked anxiously.

    "The first point was a decoy. Arrow, Alice, and I are heading your way," Ivy responded.

    "Our second point was also a decoy. If I am not wrong then Lex must be waiting for Bruce with all his calvaries," Selina replied as he checked Bruce''s tracker. It was going outside the Metropolis at a very high speed, "Let''s follow Bruce''s signal."

    "Alright, we will meet there..."Ivy responded before cutting the call.

    Selina contacted Bruce, "Bruce, our points were decoys. We believe Lex must be waiting for you with all his men."

    "Yeah, I know. Saw Mad Hatter entering the Lex Corps. You and Diana get him," Bruce responded over the comms as he flew through the sky, following Lex''s private jet from a distance.

    "Boss! The south entrance is under attack too!"

    "Damn it! What''s happening?" Lex shouted in anger as he tried to call for reinforcements, but the comms weren''t working.

    "And here he is..." Scarecrow pulled on his mask, "You know... it''s hard to predict the future, but one thing is sure... he''s coming... Bats are nocturnal creatures, after all..." He flooded the room with green gas, restricting Bruce''s vision, outside.

    "What are you doing?" Lex shouted in anger as he covered his face with his shirt.

    "Don''t worry, the game has just begun, my friend..." Scarecrow''s voice echoed through the base as he disappeared from the room. By the time the gas had cleared, he was nowhere to be found.

    "Damn it!" Lex punched the wall in anger. "Close off the emergency gates. Form a circle around the main building. Lock down the entire perimeter. Destroy the turrets. And find the bat!"

    "Boss, we can''t!" One of the mercenaries informed, "Our men are dying like flies. The security system is too advanced. We don''t even know where the enemy is! If this continues, all the men on the island will be dead."
