Whispers in the Black Ch.13

Bella's POV:

Greene's crimson eyes looked over Heller and Bella as the three Evolved circled each other. She turned to James, smirked, and said "James Heller. Pleasure to finally meet you face to face."

Heller rolled his eyes before shifting his arm to his Blade and replied "You can take you pleasure along with your skull and stick it right here."

Greene sighed and said "Despite your complete ignorance of subordination and manners, I suppose I should thank you for killing Alex."

Bella turned to Heller and asked "Do all bad guys do this? Ever since she came out, all she's done is talk."

Heller shrugged and answered "Mercer did it a lot, so I guess so."

Bella shifted her arms into her Claws before charging Greene with Heller right behind her. Greene sighed before her Tendrils formed and despite the 2 versus 1, she started to tear them apart left and right. Greene swatted James away, grabbed Bella, and threw her into a metal pole. Bella gritted her teeth before she looked up to see Elizabeth jumping at her with her Blade ready! Bella caught it with her Claws before taking the arm off, shifting her arms into Hammerfists, and slamming them into Greene!

Elizabeth chuckled before she grabbed a pipe and turned it into a javelin with Biomass and before she knew it, the spear went through Bella's chest and impaled her into the opposite building!

Diablo's POV:

Diablo glared down at Edward as the flames around his body grew brighter and brighter. Edward chuckled nervously "Had a feeling you'd try that. Luckily, Greene planned ahead."

Before Diablo could prepare, he was grabbed by something huge and thrown through a wall! He climbed to his feet and saw a monster in layman's terms. Had the skull of a jackal, bones covering every inch of it's body that ripples with muscle. Claws the size guillotines shined in the light. Diablo just looked at it before engulfing the beast in flames. He stopped and stepped forward to find Edward, only for him to be grabbed again and shoved onto the floor. The Jackal, still alive with not even a single burn mark, snapped his jaws only to be caught by Diablo's hands. As the monster struggled to move closer, he heard Edward say "The bone is reinforced by Biomass. You flames can't hurt it. You should say your goodbyes."

3rd Person POV:

Heller groaned as his shredded flesh pulled itself together before he looked up to the smirking face of Elizabeth Greene. The woman grabbed him by his throat and held him in the air. Greene smirked before asking "Did you really think you stood a chance? You're nothing."

Bella looked up through her black and white vision to see Greene about to kill Heller! Looking to her left, she saw a discarded power line, the tip showering sparks. Bella tried to get up to grab it, but she was pulled back. Looking at it, she saw her left arm was completely trapped in a tangle of iron bars. Looking back to Greene, she saw the Blade being raised over Heller's head. Taking a deep breath, Bella cursed "Screw it!" before she shifted her right arm into a Blade before completely ripping it off with her Claws. Bella barely kept the scream in as her touched the cable before she started to wrap the arm in the black wire before electrifying the metal, and threw the arm like a javelin. Elizabeth looked up a split second before she was impaled by the Blade.

Bella summoned her strength before jumping back to the building. Heller looked to her and asked "You good?"

Bella looked to the black wires pulling themselves together before nodding and saying "I don't think back and slash is gonna work."

Heller asked "You got anything?"

Bella looked to Greene who was trying to get out of the pin and said "I guess. Don't know if I can do it, but why not?"

Bella focused before she felt the same rush of power going through her body. The ground shrunk beneath her as her skin turned red and black, armor molding onto her. Bella felt the same weight on her skull as the crown-like structure formed on her head. Heller looked at her, shrugged, and said "Not the ugliest thing I've ever seen."

Red flicked off of his body as he let out a roar. The sound echoed off of the buildings before two Brutes showed up and got behind him. Elizabeth finally pulled the Blade off, her skin blackened and parts of her body were shredded. Looking up, she smirked and said "Using my gifts? You do know that you're able to do that only because I enabled you to."

Bella just ignored her and charged. Greene smirked before jumping, grabbing one of Bella's horns, and pulled her to the ground. Before she could twist, the Brutes hit her into the wall followed by a series of attacks as Heller kept throwing his Whipfist into her. Bella pushed herself up off the ground before grabbing Elizabeth by her legs and slammed her into a water tower! Heller charged in, but got Spartan-kicked. His Brutes tried to attack, but Greene's Claws ripped into their chests before ripping out a part of their spinal column. The beasts collapsed as the bottom halves dropped. Elizabeth skull-stomped both of them, black tendrils ripping into the corpses. She smiled as her flesh pulled itself together and asked "Is that the best you can do?"

Heller charged, but her tendrils grabbed him and asked "You never learn, do you?"

Heller smiled before he said "Maybe, maybe not, but I do know surprise."

Elizabeth's eyes widened before she was tackled off of him. Bella's Wraith roared before she started to maul Greene. Bella ripped open the flesh before she impaled Greene onto her tail and threw her aside like a tin can.

Elizabeth rolled over to side of the building before she stopped, black blood spilling from already fading wounds. The Evolved simply got up, shrugged it off, and asked "That's how you want to play? Fine."

As she said that, she backed towards the end of the building before falling. Before they could even step forward, a giant hand shot up towards the sky. Black and red with silver spreading across it like veins, it crashed down on the building as another joined it. A head rose with them, like a dragons, horns as big as 5 story buildings( for full description, look up Ziz (Dark Resentment) from Reign of Dragons app. Does not have wings.) The crimson eyes looked down at them before a ear-piercing shriek filled the air.

Diablo's POV:

Diablo heard the roar outside, but he had his own problems. The Infected just kept hitting him left and right. The prick sat on a ledge, just smirking. Diablo turned back to the beast and kept his distance from it's giant claws. That's when something hit him. Chinks in the armor, quite literally. The Infected's armor had cracks in the bone. Before he could think about it, the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" delivered a giant haymaker. Diablo reaches up and felt the bone sticking out of place. He wrapped his hand around the bone and jammed it back in place.

The creature threw another punch, but he caught it before pulling the shoulder to him and jamming his fingers into the shoulder blade! Putting his fingers fingers in one of the cracks, he pulled with everything he had and tried to hang on as it attempted to buck him off. Suddenly, his head was grabbed and he was thrown off. Groaning as his bones cracked back into place, he looked into his hand and saw a piece of the armor. He looked to the creature and saw it's back facing him, a piece of the armor missing.

Letting his tribal form fade away before he rushed at it. The creature didn't have time to react before he jumped onto the back and slammed the bone into the flesh! It's roar of pain ripped into his ear before he twisted the bone, widening the wound. Diablo blocked out the pain as he threw the bone away before placing his hand above the wound and shooting fire into the creature! He heard Edward "Impossible! No!"

The creature roared one last time before the mouths, eyes, nose, and hands erupted flames. Edward jumped down from the rafter and started to back towards the door "You can't even comprehend what you're facing."

Diablo asked "If you're so tough, why are you running?!"

Edward roared "You are beneath me! I can't believe that my Bella would ever entertain the thought of being with you! I know what you did! You are a murderer! You killed your wife, your children!"

Diablo replied "I know and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not haunted by everything I've done, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Edward smirked and shouted "I am doing my mate a favor by killing you!"

Diablo ignited his hands before saying "You can try."

Edward blurred towards him and backhanded him. Diablo flew backwards before he was hit again in midair. He hit the ground sprawling, blood dripping from his mouth. He heard "When Greene kills Heller and delivers my mate to me, she will see the failure you are and will come crawling back to me. She will be mine and you will be nothing, a footnote. A mere obstacle of my love's destiny."

Diablo spat out his blood and said "You're a coward. You don't face your demons, you don't lay claim to your mistakes, and you don't fight like a man. And you say I'm "inferior".

Edward, eyes black in rage, rushed at Diablo but stopped when he felt a slight stinging sensation. Looking down, he saw Diablo's fist engulfed in flames in his shattered stomach. Diablo smirked at the horror "On the other hand, I'm a criminal, like you said. I don't have to play fair."

He grabbed the vampire by the throat and lifted him towards the roof before sending flames into the marble body. Edward screamed as he felt the heat spreading through his body, reliving the pain of being turned, but instead of being returned to life, Edward Cullen was delivered to Death's embrace. Diablo lowered his hands and watched as the embers and ashes fluttered away into the wind. Suddenly, he heard the shriek again and he turned to see the monster that Greene had become. Seconds later, he was joined by the others and Flag asked "What are we gonna do about that thing?"

Bella's POV:

Bella barely avoided another crushing blow. Heller wasn't so lucky. Greene's open palm slammed him against the brick wall before letting go. He was about to slump to the ground, but Elizabeth slammed her fist into him and he went flying and before long he was a black dot crashing through city streets. Greene looked back to Bella who chuckled nervously before taking off. The roar of the creature ripped through the air as Bella barely avoided the long swipes of the giant claws before diving inside one of the buildings, the dust covering her escape. Watching the creature lumber away from her, she went over her options. The size alone nullified attacking her head on. Before she could continue, Bella heard on her radio "Bella, can you hear me? Bella, do you read?"

Bella grabbed her radio and asked "Flag, is that you? Where are the others? Are you guys okay?"

Flag replied "Everyone's fine. Diablo is too. Your ex isn't though. He tried to kill Chato, it kind of backfired on him."

Bella wasn't sure what she felt at that moment. While she felt anger at the fact that she wasn't able to kill the prick herself, she was truly happy that he was dead. Before she could think about it more, the building shook as she could see Greene still looking for her. She breathed deeply before asking "How are we going to do this Flag, we only have half an hour left at most."

He asked "Do you think you can lure her to us?"

She slumped against the wall as he laid out the plan.

Time Skip: 3rd Person POV:

Greene ripped a roof off of one of the buildings, one of many in her search. Suddenly, she saw a flash of light. Looking to it, she saw her. Bella Swan. Bella smirked before waving at Elizabeth and at the end of it, all of her fingers went down, except for one(we all know which one it was.)

Bella shouted "Come on! Let's finish this, bitch!"

Elizabeth snorted before she charged. Bella took off like a bat out of hell, literally once her wings expanded and she maneuvered through collapsing buildings. Greene followed Bella around a corner...only to get hit in the face with a wrecking ball!

Elizabeths tattered into a building as she held her face in pain before she roared, but found Bella gone again. Elizabeth started to rip buildings apart, almost desperate to find the nuisance. Suddenly, she heard "All aboard!"

Looking up, she saw a train car being thrown at her. Catching it with ease, she crushed it and looked up, where she saw Bella. The brunette sighed "I saw that going a little differently."

Bella, instead of running away again, jumped onto Greene's face and started slashing the scales beneath her as she slid along the length of the giant creature. Before Greene could grab her, she grew her wings again and took off. Elizabeth immediately followed, eager to finish the nuisance. After several minutes of going back and forth, Elizabeth was loosing steam when it happened. She saw a small figure jump at her head and land near her eye. The eye looked down to see... Diablo in his tribal form. Before she could swat him like a fly, he grabbed her eye and set it on fire. Despite being the size of a skyscraper, she was not immune to pain and as the sensation reached her brain, Elizabeth roared in pain as her left eye went dark. Diablo leaped off, dragging the chain with him down Greene's body as he spread fires along the black scales. Elizabeth was about to break the chains when Croc came swinging in with Boomerang right behind him. As Croc traveled downwards, he looked dangerously close to puking as he screamed "I hate heights!"

Harley was pacing in a room, bored out of her mind. That stopped when she heard "Harley do it!"

She groaned "Finally!" before grabbing the switch and pulling it down just as floods of Infected came in. Harley grabbed her bat as she skipped over "About time you guys showed up!"

Elizabeth sort of struggled to get out of her bonds until she was being fried by millions of volts of electricity. Her roar of pain almost burst eardrums and as she tried to break out of the chains, she heard an engine getting closer. Looking forward, she saw a huge plane roaring towards her!

Deadshot activated the weapons and shouted "You may want to hold on, Flag!" before he began to tilt the huge plane sideways!

Flag shouted "Come on, we got to get out of here!" Deadshot sprinted from the cockpit and saw Flag waiting with his parachute. Hopping over beams, Deadshot grabbed the parachute and rapidly buckled in as Flag jumped out. Floyd turned to the cockpit and saw that the plane was getting closer. Before he jumped, he whispered "If I don't make it out of this, Zoe, I love you."

Then he jumped, barely missing being crushed before he opened the parachute. Bella watched as the plane continued to fire missies and bullets before it went kamikaze, the huge plane blowing a hole into Greene's body! Bella jumped down to cover before the blast wave hit her and when the smoke cleared, the giant monster was gone. In it's place, Elizabeth. Bella dropped down as Greene began to stagger up to her feet. Elizabeth shouted "You bitch! I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?!"

Bella calmly replied "You took everything from me before you did anything for me and the only reason you gave me anything was so you could manipulate me into your "master" plan."

Greene asked "Why are you still fighting for the humans? They've done nothing for you. Humans are weak, the entire population of this Earth is at risk because of weak fools! They refuse to see the truth. All they care about is re-election. My way is better! Blacklight can save us, don't you see that?! Our kind is the only race who can manage this properly. Humans are corrupted by greed. Why does anything have costs?! If we have the resources to help, we shouldn't let price get in our way! If anything, I am saving humanity!"

Before she could continue, a metal javelin went through her chest as Heller sprinted up to them. Bella motioned to Diablo, who walked up to Greene. Elizabeth looked into the ember eyes before saying "Get on with it."

Diablo places his hand above her head, but before he could do it, Greene grabbed his hand and threw him into another building! Greene roared "You will not stop me!" before she started to attack Bella and Heller, ignoring the others who either shot her, stabbed her; or tried to punch her. Bella tried to block, but Greene just kept attacking, her Blade and Whipfist slashing through any defense Bella could think of. Heller interrupted by grabbing her and smashing Elizabeth back and forth between buildings. Greene cut the blade holding her off before she rushed Heller and started pounding into him with her Hammerfists. Pain went over her in a wave as fire began burning her skin. When it stopped, she looked back to see Diablo. Chuckling, Elizabeth said with an amused tone "You've got to be kidding."

Diablo calmly said "Let them go!"

Greene dropped Heller and replied "I'm going to enjoy this." before she blurred towards him... but she didn't even get halfway before she stopped. Bella appeared behind her, Blade wet with black blood, Claws on her left hand dripping the same. Greene felt it again, the second time of her life. Elizabeth whispered "I didn't expect you to do that, you know. You know I'll be back."

Bella replied "I know. You will be back, but next time, we'll be ready."

Greene smiled, but that soon faded once she started to fall apart. Black wires burst from Bella's body and took Greene into her, merging them once more. Bella felt the surge of power and before she could faint, she sent out one command. All around the city, every Infected started to kill themselves. Goliaths paving across the Infected before impaling their own heads. Hydras simply exploding along with Brawlers.

Diablo caught Bella before she could hit the ground. Bella looked up at him, barely conscious, and whispered "Thanks handsome."

Diablo looked into her eyes and said "I'm sorry. I let you down."

Bella caressed his face before replying "It doesn't matter. All I care about is that we're safe and we can go home now."

Flag watched the scene before he heard the familiar roar of jets overhead. Quickly reaching into his bag, he pulled out a flare gun before firing the green explosive into the sky. Deadshot fires another one as the roar grew louder. Harley, covered in blood from exploding Infected, saw it and fired another in response.

The Secretary of Defense looked at the satellite feed before a radio feed came in "Command, we are one minute out. We can see the flares. What do you want us to do?"

Waller looked to him and said "Call them off. The threat is contained."

The Secretary replied "Abort mission, Commander."

The 3 jets banked to the right while Flag sagged in relief. Bella looked back to Diablo and said "Looks like we get a little more time together."

Time Skip:

Bella's POV:

White. Cold white. Bella knelt on the ground with red roses in her hand. A large gray tombstone in front of her, two names carved into it. "Raelyn and Kyle Gray. Beloved Parents and Good People."

Reese walked up and sat next to her. Hundred yards back, five agents kept an eye on them with other soldiers in vans waiting for the signal. Bella broke the silence "What were they like?"

Reese answered "From what I remember, they were some of the nicest people I ever knew. Mom was just a classical mom, but had her own special charm. Stern, but extremely nice. Dad, if I remember correctly, he worried about you everyday Mom was pregnant. I looked through the reports and saw that you were sort of underdeveloped and they were worried you'd be too small to survive. I guess that's what I thought happened."

Bella sighed "They sound amazing, but I think I'll always be a Swan at heart. Thank you for being here with me."

A single tear trailer down her cheek before she whispered "Even though I never got to know you two, I'll love you til the end of my days. I want to thank you for Reese, he's really helped me in a few tough situations. I think I have to go now, but I hope to see you guys soon."

Bella got to her feet when Reese asked "Do you have to go back? Walker can't keep you there and she knows it."

Bella replied "I gave up my favor so you and Leah could go free. Waller probably would've taken you too. Leah needs you. Being away from you would hurt her immensely. Besides, it's not too bad. Hopefully, me and the others can leave someday, but for now, we have to go back into Waller's toy box."

Reese sighed before nodding "Okay, if that's what you think is best, but I will be visiting with Leah from now on, like a big brother should."

Bella smiled in reply before she pulled him in for a hug. She felt his arms wrap around her and they just held each other like that. The snow fell, the wind blew, but none of it interrupted them. Bella pulled away and said "See you soon, big brother."

He chuckled "Catch you later, little sis."

She started walking to true guards when Reese shouted "Wait, Bella! I've got something for you!"

Bella turned and saw Reese holding something out. She took it and looked down. It was a picture, Reese was young kid in a blue hoodie with two people hugging him, smiling at the camera. Her dad had black hair with a cleanly shaven face, holding a black jacket in his arms. He had her chocolate brown eyes. Her mom wore a light blue jacket with purple shirt underneath. In the picture, she had green eyes and she was heavily pregnant. Reese quietly said "That was taken a few months before you were born. Figured you should have it.

Time Skip:

Bella looked down at the picture before a knock on the door drew her attention "Come in."

Diablo stepped in and asked "How'd it go?"

Bella smiled "As well as you could expect. It was nice. The snow was very pretty. All of it was... perfect."

Diablo smiled before saying "Good to hear. Anything out of your conscience?"

Bella frowned "No, she's been quiet ever since Phoenix. How were things here?"

He took a breath before beginning "Well, the food's the same. Harley is a more than a little stir-crazy. Flag announced that June is pregnant and Boomerang wants to be The god parent, though I think he's only asking because he thinks it'll get him some privileges."

He sat down beside her and she asked "What are supposed to do now?"

Diablo asked "You want to go to sleep?"

Bella tackled him to the bed and shouted "God yes! I could sleep forever!"

Diablo chuckled before wrapping him up in his arms and kisses her forehead. Bella pouted "Hey, no cheap moves! You have to kiss me right here!" pointing to her lips.

Diablo rolled his eyes before he pulled her closer and into a deep kiss.

A minute later, they stopped and Bella woozily said "You are a really good kisser."

Diablo smirked before asking "Want to go again?"

Bella quickly nodded before pulling him into another kiss.

3rd Person POV:

"I'm getting used to these chats Mr. Wayne."

Bruce straightened his tie before replying "You shouldn't be. I told you to shut it down Waller."

Waller cut her steak before saying "I had to keep going. What would've happened if we let Greene go unanswered? We can't exactly wait for America's god to fall from the sky anymore, can we?"

Wayne replied "You can control those criminals, but you can't control her. All it takes is one wrong move for everything to go to shit and you to be 6 feet under."

Amanda smiled before saying "Maybe. I'll be sure to try to avoid any. Now, if that's all Mr. Wayne, I have a meeting to go to."

As she started walking out, Amanda said "You should stop poking in other people's business, Mr. Wayne. I don't care how deep your pockets can reach or how long your ears are."

An hour later, Bruce descended in the elevator. As the doors opened, he saw Diana waiting for him, standing by his computer. When she saw him, she asked "How'd it go?"

Wayne replied "Stubborn as ever. She never listens to me, no surprise she didn't now."

Diana sighed and asked "So what are we going to do now?"

Bruce turned the computer on and said "I don't know. I'm pulling up the video again."

The screen showed a street camera feed and it focused on a muscular man wearing a jacket. Diana asked "So what are we going to do about him?"

Bruce answered truthfully "I don't think we can do anything."

On the screen, the man looked to the camera. He wore blue jeans. His leather jacket covered a white shirt. A red marking glowed on the back. Alex Mercer smirked at them through the camera before he put his hands in his pocket and kept walking.

As much as I feel uncomfortable with this chapter, I hope you guys enjoyed it. Just let me tell you guys, this is not the end of this story, merely part 1. I will continue eventually once I've taken a rest and I feel like writing this again. I need to work on my other stories and I need to find a plot. So I hope to see you guys soon. Peace out.
