Entering into the museum, Rose immediately began to analyze her surroundings. The front desk was empty, blood stains on the chain indicated a body had either slumped below the desk or been dragged out of the chair. Security guards were strewn around the room, many of them disembowled, the claws of the lion-man surely the murder weapon.
Suddenly the deafening silence was broken by a cough as Rose turned towards the sound. Her hands steadied her weapon as she directed it to the source of the noise, noticing a guard who was still clinging to life. His chest heaved slowly up and downs as he coughed again, crimson bloodying his lips as he struggled to breath.
"Quickly...to him," whispered Lizard, pointing at their half-breathing security guard. As Lizard soon let her senses become more in-tune with her surrounding. Her 'gator' sense, becoming more active - letting her yellow irises shift slowly into slits. As her entire body soon got focused and ready. "If you need something, just say....otherwise, I'm wound up tighter than the spring of a gun...ready to fire...so please...nobody 'tap' me on 'da shoulder. M'kay?"
She namely covered her team-mates, so they could provide medical attention - while she waited for the Lion-Man to show himself. Her nose still sniffing the air - and trying to find anything out of the ordinary.
Question walked to the wounded security guard, kneeling down and looking at him. "Not to state obvious, but needs medical attention," he turned to Rose and Warden, "have medical expertise?"
The Warden shook his head, keeping his eyes on the surroundings. "Not useful for something this serious," he states in response to Question then turns to the security guard "I am sorry sir, though perhaps you can be of help in finding this lion man? Did he say anything about his plans? Go anywhere of note?"
"I can field dress it." Rose stated as she holstered her weapon and knelt down to look at the wounded man. "But he's going to need a damn hospital, fuckin' stat. One of us will have to take him there." Rose turned looking towards Lizard.
"You're the strongest of us, if anyone can carry him to the nearest hospital in time, it's going to be you." Rose ordered before realizing that Batman had explicitly put Question in charge of the mission. Clearing her throat with a slight cough, Rose tried her best to subtle hand the reigns back to the trenchcoated hero.
Damn.
"Unless you have a different idea of course, Q."
"No. It's good idea. Lizard, get him to hospital once Ravager has tended to his wounds." Question said.
Leaning down, Rose reached to her belt looking through her supplies for something to slow the bleeding to allow Lizard to take the guard to the hospital. Finding a roll of gauze, Rose began to dress the wound when suddenly a pulse shot through her forehead. Her eyes glazed as a multitude of images and numbers ran through her mind. A spear pierced the head of the guard before Rose's vision cleared and she suddenly stood up drawing her energy sword.
The blade ignited with a hiss as it was timed perfectly to slice through an airborne spear, the two halves falling harmlessly on either side of Rose and the guard. Once again her powers had stepped in, allowing her to intervene just in time.
Dropping from the domed ceiling of the museum lobby was a dark skinned woman dressed in ritualistic clothing and covered in warrior's body paint. Her attire was themed to represent a lioness and that left no doubt in Rose's mind that this mysterious warrior woman was associated with their humanoid lion.
"Fuckin' move!" Rose yelled as two more woman dropped in on the group, their spears pointed inwards as they formed a perimeter around the heroes, teeth bared and snarling before one finally spoke.
"Husband said you'd be coming, said the League couldn't leave him alone."
