Kapitel 196: INFINITY ISLAND
[Present time]
The door opened and Harley came in jumping as usual, followed by Kara, who looked tired, probably because of Harley. Harley noticed Selina's black suit and whistled. "Wow! Catwoman! Looking hot as always, eh?" she said with a giggle. "Check out mine. I'm Wonder Quinn now!" She proudly pointed at her outfit, which Diana gave her for completing the training regiment.
Selina eyed Harley's getup and chuckled. "Yeah, it looks... good. Very Harley."
"Thanks, Cat! So, Batsy, when do we leave? Can't wait to kick some asses!" Harley asked, punching her fists together to emphasize her words.
"Right now. Get on board," Bruce replied curtly. He gestured towards the Batwing VC42, WayneTech's latest fighter jet. As the Batwing VC42 roared to life, the high-tech interior hummed with energy. "Jarvis, take the controls."
[Affirmative]
The Batwing took off after Bruce entered the coordinated. Jarvis took over the flight control while Bruce used the onboard computer to analyze Infinity Island. He pulled up the satellite images and checked for any unusual activity. A hidden island in the middle of nowhere, Infinity Island holds the secret to immortality. It is guarded by the League of Shadows, an elite group of assassins trained to serve Ra's al Ghul. For centuries, they have been protecting Infinity Island from intruders. But later Lady Shiva betrayed the Ra's and took over the island.
"Any luck?" Selina asked.
"Nope. Although I know where the island is, I can't get a detailed visual of it using the satellites," Bruce replied with a frown. "Looks like they got some nifty jammers to rival mine, maybe an ancient machine or artifact. Whatever it is, we'll know once we land there. And expect humans with superpowers. Since they got the original pit, God knows how much power the pit gave them."
"No problemo! We got Powergirl with us, so, ha! No biggy!" Harley shouted from the back.
"Yeah, about that. Kara, try not to destroy the island, please, and just knock them out," Bruce requested dryly.
"Hey! I know how to hold back my strength!" Kara retorted indignantly.
"But you broke... muuuummm!" Before Harley could finish her sentence, Kara covered Harley's mouth with her hand.
Bruce turned around and glared at Kara, who smiled innocently. "What did you break?" he asked sternly.
"Nothing! Really! Harley is just joking! Right, Harley?" Kara insisted with a forced chuckle. "Sorry about that. Harley tends to exaggerate things."
Bruce narrowed his eyes, unconvinced by Kara's explanation. "Fine. We'll talk about this later."

"Approaching the coordinates," Bruce announced, breaking the silence as the Batwing's navigation system beeped in confirmation.
Selina glanced at the map. "Infinity Island is just ahead. No signs of radar detection, but that doesn't mean they don't know we're coming."
"Keep your eyes sharp," Bruce instructed. "We're flying into hostile territory. Harley, Kara, be ready for anything."
"Ready and raring to go, Batsy!" Harley cheered, giving a mock salute as she activated her nano suit.
"On it," Kara added as she also activated her new nano suit. She'd been using it during her training sessions with Harley for the last week and already learned to control the suit, thanks to Selina's guidance. These new-gen nanites are capable of handling 80% of Kara's power. It's made based on her Kryptonian suit, even the design was based on her old suit.
Selina and Bruce too activated their suits. Although they didn't need suits, it was still cool to wear a superhero suit according to them.
Kara stared at Bruce's black batsuit and whistled. "Damn! You look hot in that suit, Batman!"
"You hittin' on Brucy?" Harley asked curiously.
"Yup! He's hot! Don't you think so?" Kara replied casually.
Selina smirked before lightly punching Kara's arm, "I heard what you did at the beach without me. Well, I'm thankful to Aquawoman for ruining your fun time."
"Without you, huh? So, wanna join in next time? Maybe we can have a big group orgy with all the girls and Bruce?" Kara whispered suggestively to Selina.
"Maybe. I'll think about it," Selina replied, fighting back the blush forming on her face.
Harley overheard them whispering and snickered. "Oh, I heard that, Kitty! Group sex sounds fun! Wanna try it, Batsy? Can I join in? Harl promises to be a good girl. Come on! Pleaseeee!" She pleaded with puppy eyes.
Bruce sighed, "Just focus on the mission, please."

The Batwing VC42 flew through the cloudy skies, cutting through the thick mist that surrounded Infinity Island. The hum of the jet's advanced engines was the only sound in the otherwise silent atmosphere. As they approached their destination, the island emerged from the fog, revealing itself in all its foreboding glory.
Infinity Island was unlike any other place Bruce had encountered.
"Dang! That's freakin' giant!" Harley mumbled as she looked at the island out the window.
The island was a massive fortress of nature, surrounded by giant mountains and a raging ocean around it. Dense forests covered most of the terrain, with ancient trees whose roots twisted and gnarled like the claws of some giant, slumbering beast. The island was dotted with ruins, the remnants of an ancient civilization long forgotten by time. The buildings, though in various states of decay, still bore the marks of exquisite craftsmanship, with intricate carvings that depicted scenes of battles, rituals, and figures who seemed to possess powers beyond imagination.
"Looks like traces of old civilization," Kara observed. "Maybe they lived here thousands of years ago. Guess Ra's al Ghul took over this island centuries ago."
Bruce nodded in agreement. "That's correct. Infinity Island has been home to the League of Shadows for centuries."
The air around the island was thick with an unnatural energy, a mixture of the island's mystical defenses and the residual effects of the Lazarus Pit. The island's center was dominated by the biggest mountain, covered in storm clouds that crackled with green lightning. Somewhere around this mountain was the hidden fortress of Lady Shiva, a stronghold built into the very rock, nearly invisible to anyone not looking for it.
Kara looked at Bruce as her enhanced vision caught sight of an ambush waiting for them, yet the reader couldn't even detect them. Something powerful was blocking their technology. Even their nanite suits seemed to be affected as Harley noticed her suit flickering. "Bats, I think something is wrong with my suit."
"Well, that's why I came prepared. I expected as much from the League of Shadows. Jarvis, unlock the Ultimate Mode. Time to use the full potential of these babies," Bruce commanded Jarvis.
Everyone's suits morphed as the nanites began to hum with power. Harley's nano suit turned red and white with a golden lining. Kara's nano suit turned blue with a white lining, and Selina's pitch-black nano suit turned metallic grey with a purple lining. Bruce's bat suit also changed into a more advanced version with a sleeker design and black with gold lining.
Harley's eyes widened when she saw her look at her arms. She whistled loudly, impressed by the upgrade. "Woah! I look damn hot! Harl likes it!"
As the Batwing began its descent, Bruce noticed the landscape seemed to pulse with life—ancient, dangerous life. The vegetation was lush and overgrown, but with an unnatural vibrancy, the flora seemed almost predatory. The wildlife, from what little could be seen, was similarly fierce, with eyes that gleamed in the darkness of the underbrush. Everything looked poisonous and dangerous.
"Well, shall we see what our hosts have prepared for us?" Bruce asked casually.
"Let's rock n' roll!" Harley exclaimed cheerfully.
The hatch hissed open, and one by one, Bruce, Selina, Kara, and Harley stepped out, their senses on high alert.
The air was filled with a thick humidity, and the sounds of distant waterfalls could be heard echoing through the dense jungle. Despite the tranquility, there was a tension in the air, an unshakable feeling that they were being watched. Fifty assassins surrounded them. The enemy's locations popped up on their HUD.
"Well, time to begin the party. Harley, Selina... They are all yours," Bruce said with a smirk.
Harley grinned widely. "With pleasure!" She raised her hands, and the nanites formed two energy pistols in her hands. "I'm gonna zap n' zoop these freakin' ninjas.'
Selina smirked as she twirled her whip with grace. Electricity sparked across the length of the metal cord. "Showtime," she purred.
Instantly, countless poison and acid darts rained down on them.
