Nightwing nodded and stopped the bike near the huge hole in the ground. He jumped off, hurrying to the edge so he could see down into the sewer tunnel.
"Down we go-"

"Not the Sewers-"
Kai said in a small amount of dread. she kept her helmet on as she ran towards where Grayson had gotten near the edge of the broken concrete. She got close to the edge and floated down jumping opening her wings to slow her light decent. When she landed she took a leap back ghasping before looking to Grayson talking through her helmet.
"It's the Basilisk... It's, dead... And, no one seems to be down here..."
((Working fast here guys, to catch, Kai and Grayson up to where Arell would be. ^^ Hopefully this will fix the Time gap.))

There were traces of evidence that the guys were there, other than the dead snake and the massive hole that was Arthur street. Mainly a huge Bowie knife with snake's blood on it. Bullet holes were all among the walls and shotgun shells were on the ground. However, the biggest evidence that things had gone to hell in a handbasket was the communicator Dundee borrowed from the Titans. It was on the ground with minor damage. Little did they know that C.J. and Dundee were held hostage several blocks away in an abandoned building . . .
Oddly enough, where Arell was. Antigua had stopped the car in that same Wall-to-wall traffic that was building up. On top of the huge-a** hole in the ground, it had become Rush Hour.
If Arell only knew for sure what had happened after he left, he would have been certain to have Dr. Kane join his Basilisk in the great beyond . . . or hell, depending if that sly b*****d was telling the truth.
However, he wasn't there long. He had hurried off to Crime alley. MacReady should have those boys in safe hands. However, I haven't heard from Crystal in a long while. I'd better check it ou- wait. Something seems up with this building . . . he thought, pausing for a moment and looking at the building. Perhaps he noticed something was up. He looked at the street. It was 12th Avenue, half-way between the sewer shootout and Crime Alley. He was becoming a little aware that Crystal wasn't the only one close to him in a heap of trouble . . .

Jinx saw Nightwing stop and dive down into the large hole in the street with Red Cardinal. Inwardly, 'Batgirl' groaned, "Lovely...."
Fortunately, the traffic jam stopped GCPD's pursuit, and Jinx didn't have to worry about dodgin bullets from them for a bit. Stopping her bike and activating the security measures, Jinx then jumped down with acrobatic skill easily catching up to Nightwing and Red Cardinal. Finding herself staring at the dead basilisk, Jinx whistled, "What the heck is this!? Cajun Urban Renewal? You don't suppose they're okay on the other side of this rubble? They do seem to have the damnest luck."
..........
Elsewhere, Macready suck close to the building that Dr. Kane hauled a pair of cajuns. After looking for any traps and disarming them if they were there, Macready silently slips in ready with his silenced MP5 and ready to toss a tear gas grenade.

That's when Arell saw McReady. "Che', what happened?" he asked, keeping his voice low as he pulled out his sawed-off shotgun. If Dr. Kane did ANYTHING to hurt Dundee and C.J., Arell was gonna make damn sure he paid for it up front. Catgirl seemed to be on the backburner. Sorry baby. Gotta save my brothers. THEN I'll check up on ya. he thought as he prepped two live shells in the Dragon. There was sure as s**t gonna be some "Cajun Urban Renewal" . . . but first, they had to make with the Demolition.

Nightwing crouched down next to the huge dead snake, picking up a device that immediately caught his attention.
"Anyone missing a communicator?-"
He said rhetorically, holding it up over his shoulder so the other two could see.
"Something went very wrong here."
The snake was dead... but this team of bats and birds hadn't received any calls, specifically from the one who called them in the first place, C.J. The quarrel had obviously moved locations.

Jinx thumbed in the direction of the rubble blocking their path, "Do you know the way around this, Nightwing?"

Arell assumed from the silence from Macready that s**t had indeed hit the fan. Keeping a low cover, Arell pulled the hammer back on one of the barrels of his sawed-off, ready to kick the door down at a moment's notice. This was NOT good. He had assumed the worst because C.J. and Dundee both not only had not responded to him calling them, but he had saw the explosion from a few blocks away.
Meanwhile, C.J. was still very unconscious and Dundee was still looking at Dr. Kane with great anger. Of course, that anger had a sense of hope. He could sense Arell was close by. The tension was thick . . . of course, the moment Arell kicked the door in, all hell would break loose. Of course, the reason the bats and birds hadn't gotten that call, as Dundee looked over to find, was C.J. was still out cold. Blood had soaked his t-shirt from the bite. Sonuvabitch. We're gonna die. If backup don't come soon, we're gonna ******** die. he thought, tears welling up in Dundee's eyes. He hadn't experienced death himself!

Despite Kane's more human appearance he did have a heightened sense of hearing, smell and sight. He heard the voices outside the place he'd been hiding C.J. and Dundee.
"Looks like your friends are here... but no Kai. I guess it's no skin off my back if I take the little one and leave you here to those who have no chance of curing you."
Kane tapped Dundee taking C.J.'s hat setting it on him. He picked C.J. up and walked to the front door kicking it back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai looked around her eyes had a glow of red as she phased through the rubble partially with a hand.
"No, the snake and the 3 of us are the only ones down here... And I think Kane trailed off that way with someone. There's blood too."
Kai pointed to some blood against the wall. It appeared as though someone had been pinned against the wall forcefully. Kai assumed that it might have been the basilisk that would have pinned one of the Cajuns. Kai glared a moment down the tunnel to try and pick up a trail of aura that would have been led off from the blood. She looked back at Grayson.
"Streets are too crowded, we need to find those Cajuns fast... probably best to follow me."
Kai ran down the tunnel as quickly as she could through the water. When she reached the end of the tunnel she jumped up onto the thin walking path on the side to pick up her pace.

That's when Kane was staring down Arell. The somewhat leader of the three Swampers with a sawed-off shotgun at Kane's face level, smoke clenched between his teeth and angry as hell. A glimpse of a fang appeared breifly as he jammed the gun almost up one of Dr. Kane's nostrils. "Goin' somewhere, a*****e?" Arell growled. Congrats, Dr. Kane . . . you have just met the papa wolf of the gang.
Dundee lay there. That snake dude took C.J. off with him and he was panicking. He had seen Deliverance WAY too many times to guess anything else had happened. He hoped for his best friend's sake he didn't get the command of "squeal like a pig, boy." Red . . . hustle the hell up!!! he thought.

Macready dove in launching smoke grenades in Kane's direction. Once rolling into a croutching position, he fires a burst of automatic fire when he has a clear shot at Dr. Kane.
............
Jinx looked around in a couple of directions, "Ummmm... did you guys hear something?"

Dundee was definitely smiling, well he would if he was able to even move his lips. He heard the gunshots from outside. <******** yeah! The Calvary has arrived! he thought. Between Red Cardinal and her buddies, Arell and Macready, it wouldn't be too long before they were as safe as in they're momma's arms. Of course, the fact that Arell and RC had . . . failed getting along in the past had crossed his mind, but he didn't really care. Hell, when you're waiting on someone to save your sorry neck . . . he'd accept ANYONE at this point.

Kane jumped back holding to C.J. out of Arell's sight. He wasn't going to let these vigilante's take away one of his only leads to real heroes that didn't put up a fight. He was prepared to jump through a hole in the ceiling with C.J. but decided that if things could get worse, he would have to ditch him. At least, with his Basilisk in public, the Summers would know that he was back to contact. He would find the IO Base and get reinforcement to come get these kids. It wasn't like he didn't know that the Wayne Manor of all places was teeming with Vigilantes and heroes. Hopefully they wouldn't expect it coming, as did the last time he bashed into the Manor in his own verse. Kane held an arm up to his face covering his nose and mouth because of the great irritation the smoke had caused him.
"Stop firing or this kid gets it."
He yelled holding C.J. in front of himself with one arm. Being shot, wasn't too much of a difficulty seeing as he could replace any wounds with other flesh since his DNA was made to be compatible with many other gene types and species.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grayson and Jinx followed behind Kai as she ran down the tunnels of the sewers in Gotham. She realized that they had been heading towards crime Alley. And, without much hesitation she was drawn in the direction of gunfire. That had to be the Cajuns. She ran up as close as she could to the loud shots before finding a Manhole cover to get out of the Sewer. The cover was already wedged open and sitting to the side, probably due to Kane's exit Kai imagined. She hopped up before the two seeing Smoke roll out of an abandoned building. She hopped to the side and waited for Grayson and Jinx to climb out of the Sewer behind her.
((Yes I did 8T I posted, I will wait for all of you guys to catch up okay ^^))

"You son of a b***h." Arell growled quietly, holstering his shot gun before tackling BOTH C.J. and Kane to the ground, pulling his brother loose and was just about to seriously wail on Kane for the s**t he pulled on his family.
This was far from Arell the hero. This was Arell the spirit-of-vengeance about six seconds away from not only beating Kane half to death but taking the so-called Doctor's scalp and watch him bleed the other half out! Working through the tear gas until he put on a pair of motorcycle goggles over his eyes, Arell was quickly back to pummeling Dr. Kane. However, he was unaware of anything else.
C.J. however, rolled away from the attack when Arell pretty much threw him off of Dr. Kane. Miraculously, he landed flat on his back on the sidewalk.
Arell, however, stopped briefly in his mission to bludgeon Dr. Kane to oblivion.
"You wanna join yer snake in Hell? Or you gonna leave my fam'ly alone?!" He growled, a glimpse of a fang appeared briefly, as did his eyes turn into less of a human's and more reptilian. KILL HIM!!! It's lunchtime, ********> the gator side of Arell thought, egging the human side on to waste the b*****d.
Dundee however, heard the confrontation below. Arell was probably the strongest out of the three, despite his affiliation with guns, also a damn good fistfighter. Regardless if Kane somehow got out of there. If Arell's punches connected, the man would be feeling it for quite some time if the swamper had his way.
((Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill 'im. That'd be god-modding.))

"Does your Family include my niece?"
He asked rhetorically flipping Arell over to his back. Despite being punched he had a fair advantage being in his opinion /peek physical condition/. He smiled seeing Arell's reaction to him. The fangs and the eyes that changed suggested to Dr. Kane Rocknell that this man wasn't entirely human. Kane allowed himself to be thrown down to the bottom as the two scrapped, reaching into his pocket for a serum that would force the two of them to work purely on instinct when the chemical is inhaled or absorbed into the skin. He normally reserved using this on those he wanted to hunt for killing. He made sure to protect it so that it wouldn't get broken in the tussle. His coat was filled with bottles and containers, needles. All containing various chemicals and hormones to effect many animals, and toxins to effect humans. They were for the most part shatter proof, but a wrong move could seriously damage any number of them and cause a reaction in the kid.
