Admission of Guilt (Open to Avia, Barda and Scott)
An hour after Hope's abduction, Rex asks Avia to call her parents and tell them he needs to speak to them immediately at the Brownstone.

Rather than hunt them down, he'll let the people with Boom Tubes come to him for ease of travel...and because most people would rather die someplace familiar than elsewhere.

	Scott continued his own brand of bare-handed fighting, crumpling his attackers with easy blows. By Highfather, he could get his daughter back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia flipped over a prisoner, grabbed him on the way, and slammed him into the next guy in front. "This might be our greatest escape yet...!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex waits for Barda to clear that path, and then he lets Avia and Scott go ahead of him, bringing up the rear.

Outside, the group fights their way into the city square, just outside Darkseid's palace. Once they reach the square,the inmates back away, but keep the group encircled so that they cannot escape.

Rex sees Darkseid and tries to fly toward him, only to be met with a blast from the Omega Beams, which sends him crashing to Earth, into the throng of inmates. Many of them get in several punches and kicks before tossing him back into the center of the formation with Scott, Barda and Avia.

"You are the Thanagarian she favors. Rex?" Darkseid says, smiling at him.

"Oh, how she screamed your name. One would think you were a God yourself, how she begged you to come and save her." Darkseid grins.

"Scott, my son. You have returned to me and brought the family. I would rather not taint our reunion with bloodshed, but it appears that we each have something the other wants." Darkseid surmises.

Soon, another body is tossed in their midst: that of Himon, Scott and Barda's nephew, as well as Hope and Avia's cousin.

He grunts in pain as he pulls himself upright and glares at Darkseid.

	Avia's eyes went wide behind her mask and her knees grew week. Darkseid was the bogeyman in the closet, the dark thing that threatened to snatch children and happiness away. A dark fairy tale come to life. She clenched her fist and bit her lip. She would not show fear. She was the daughter of Scott and Barda Free. She would not show fear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Himon gets to his feet first, feeling the pain fade, though he is not 100%. He snarls at Darkseid and the inmates around them.

"Do you fear to face me in combat, Old One? Mabye you're afraid I can do to you what my father was prophesied to do! Why don't you come down here and face me!" Himon yells.

The crowd seems to agree with this sentiment and several people begin shoving each other as the bloodlust begins to build.

	Barda put a hand on Avia's shoulder. "The consequences being, of course, us." Barda said, pointing her Mega Rod at Darkseid. Her blood was boiling. Her nephew's presence probably added to that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex also feels the rage boiling in his chest and he uses his weapon to push himself to his feet. He /will not/ let Darkseid beat him and he /will not/ leave without Hope.

"He's scared, man. Can't you tell? He'd rather stay up there with his heat vision and snipe." Rex says to Himon, before looking back up to Darkseid.

"Last chance, Stoneface! Give me my girlfriend, or I'm gonna stick my axe up your rocky ass and carve out your black heart." Rex growls.

Darkseid looks on the Thanagarian with renewed amusement. No one has dared to speak to him so in one thousand years.

"You have courage, boy. I grant you that. However, will your courage hold when you meet the leader of my Female Furies in combat?" he asks.

"Scott, there is one way to avoid death for all of you. Give me the Anti-Life Equation, in its entirety, and Hope goes free, along with you and your family." he says.

	Avia felt her face color red with shame behind her mask, even under her mother's reassuring touch. She wasn't a warrior--she had always said she detested fighting, preferring to seek only peace--but maybe the reason she wasn't wasn't because of some lofty philosophy... Maybe it was because, deep down, she just wasn't that brave at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I speak for all of us when I say that isn't happening," Scott growled, moving protectively in between his family and Darkseid. "I'm giving you one last chance, Darkseid. Return my daughter and let us go home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My uncle has spoken my piece." Himon says. "You are Rex, then?" Himon asks, sparing a glance at the man next to him. "She spoke well of you, my friend. Do you have another weapon? I could use something to fight with." he says (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex takes the sword from his back and passes it to Himon without looking.

"Hope mentioned you a few times, man. Sorry we couldn't meet under better circumstances. Once we grab Goddess and get somewhere safe, I'll buy you beer." Rex smirks, before looking back to Darkseid.

"Stoneface, Mr. Miracle just said my part, too. And my offer to stick my axe up your ass and carve out your heart still stands!" Rex yells.

	"Very well, then. You have elected the way of pain." Darkseid says. "Kill only the women. Drag Scott Free before me in chains. Kalibak, teach my grandson humility." he says, before looking at Rex. "You, I have a special surprise for." he smiles maliciously. "Despair! Bring me the wings of the Thangarian. I'll mount them over my throne." Darkseid commands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"With pleasure, my Lord Darkseid," came a voice from the shadows. A figure stepped out from them, and Hope Free emerged, a malicious look in her eyes. There was nothing of the Hope Free that Rex and her family knew. Only Despair, the Leader of the Female Furies remained. Hope flew at Rex, her axe out in front of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)
