Chapter 70 - 69 Bekka Meet Team. Team Meet Bekka. (1/2)
”Ugh.... Remind me never to piss of Caster ever again....”.
The majority of the Team huddled into the elevator and Mareena, the closest to the door pressed the buŧŧon to arrive at Gray's penthouse apartment. The group of former protégés all felt their insides churn a little bit as the high-speed elevator pushed them to the top floor in a few seconds, all of them cradling bruises and cuts as the feeling of a bone-numbing cold washed over them.
Caster, whose powers mainly lie in Primordial Runes and the manipulation of ice wasn't an unfamiliar type of combatant for the Team to face. With their various mentors, they had fought Killer Frost, Captain Cold, Mr Freeze and a myriad of other ice users.
But Caster.... she took it to a whole new level.
Her skill in the manipulation of ice and its properties was fully brought out by the Goddess, as the first thing she did was turn the entire basement into a world of ice and snow. Mareena and Kaldur possessed the most resistance to this completely new environment, as did Conner, Cassie and Kara.
But the rest of the Team did not possess the same level of resistance to the change in temperature as the rest of them.
They had to keep moving in order not to get frostbite, but with every passing second, the gale force winds that carried the white frost grew stronger and stronger. After that it was just a waiting game for the Caster Class Servant.
Caster froze over their already brittle defenses before smashing an extremely large iceberg at them. She toned down the power substantially, but Caster had already proven her strength to the Team, and to a Zatanna and Kara who both disliked the strange way Gray waited on the beautiful woman.
”I think my bruises have bruises....”.
Wally leaned on the wall of the elevator, cradling his left arm and his stomach at the thought of getting hit by a veritable wall of ice. The speedster couldn't use his powers to the fullest because of the constantly dropping temperature, and was busy trying to keep Robin, Artemis and Zatanna from being clobbered by icicles.
Said archer nodded with his statement.
”Remind me, why did we pick a fight with her again?”.
All gazes were directed towards Zatanna, who went red slightly before looking at Robin and Kaldur.
”The group fight wasn't my idea! And besides, who said that we needed training if we were ever going to fight against Servants?”.
Gazes once again moved towards the protégé of Batman and Aquaman. Neither denied the looks the other nine members of the Team gave before Robin shrugged his shoulders and spoke,
”Would you rather we fight Caster, or that Archer Servant belonging to Batman?”.
Caster, in her casual attire glanced upwards towards the roof and the Team nodded as they passed the Servant. Kara and Zatanna narrowed their eyes as they passed the Goddess of Ice and Snow before hearing Gray's voice from the pool area.
”No, no, no! You're doing it all wrong! Hold it like this and then....”.
The two girls perked up at the sound of the Pseudo-Servants voice, before an unfamiliar feminine tone came directly after the twenty year olds one.
”Like this?”.
They all stopped in their tracks and Kara could hear an elevated heartbeat coming from the both of them. Whatever they were doing, it caused both of their bodies to start pumping blood at a much faster rate....
”That's better. Just a little bit gentler. Don't be so tight.... relax....”.
Wally's eyes widened and the speedster turned to the shorter boy next to him, his sunglasses crooked as Dick looked up to his best friend standing beside him. The former's mouth dropped slightly and the Team headed up the stairs with a slight trepidation.
A slight groan came from the feminine voice. Cassie nearly lost her footing when she heard it, her face reddening slightly and her eyes looking towards Barbara who was standing right beside her. The redhead who was wearing her glasses raised her eyebrows at her friend, as they continued up towards the rooftop.
”This position.... are you sure about this?”.
