Darkness Within (ON HOLD AND MAJOR EDITING BEING DONE)

Chapter 3 ~ Phase 1

I start packing a satchel with a whole bunch of trackers, bombs, and other junk, quickly hiding it under my cape and a couple in an extra weapon pouch on my belt.

Walking around the apartment towards the secret vault/room, I put on my mask. I push in the false brick in my bedroom and watch as the entire wall moves aside. We chose my bedroom because privacy is everything and in an apartment it's kind of hard hiding a 'secret lair'.

Stepping over the left over bricks, I enter the room with it closing back up behind me. The size is like a small walk-in closet. There's a computer to the left, a metal table in the center, two walls covered in weapons and extra costume pieces, then a little locked up chest in the corner that not even I am allowed to open. Catwoman is the only one with the key. I think it's the really big guns.

I walk up to one of the walls with weapons on it and grab a machine gun and a couple Sig Sauer p229. I dump them into the satchel along with some extra ammo. The end of the machine gun is hanging out, so I hide it behind my cape, hoping no one will notice until the fun's begun.

What a peaceful night it is here in Gotham. That's about to change. I carelessly stroll into the middle of the busy intersection, cars swerving so they don't hit me.

"Hello. How's everybody doing tonight," I begin automatically seeing fear and panic cross some faces, "Good? Well that's about to change." At that moment I pull out the machine gun beginning to shoot up the place.

Some of the residents of the near by apartments look out their windows to see what's all the commotion about, but are cut short when I shoot them in the face. My aim is perfect being Catwoman's daughter and all.

I run out of ammo for my machine gun, so I switch to the other ones. My fun being cut short by just who I wanted to see, Nightwing and Batman. Ooh, they called the big guys on me. Nightwing is the original Robin, but he went solo. I'm surprised they're both here, together.

I drop the guns and put my hands up making it to look like I was surrendering. With confused and wary steps they slowly advance towards me. When they are about five feet away I quickly reach for a bomb. I throw it and just in the nick of time they jump away. Going in the opposite direction of each other.

I turn and run, but not before throwing two more bombs at either of them. I run through alleys and finally see the one I was looking for. Knowing they're behind me I run into the alley and see the familiar dead end. I pretend to be scared and trapped just to see Nightwing's smug face and Batman's blank one. What else is new?

"You're cornered Mortuus, give up," states Batty in his gruff voice.

"Sorry Batman, but we have other plans," states mother from behind him. No one knows Catwoman nor Loki are my parents. All they know is I am allies with Catwoman and occasionally Loki.

Mom quickly kicks Bats in the face and then knocks him to the floor, all before he even has a chance to register what's going on. Nightwing, leaving his former leader behind, comes at me extending his olf boa staff to swipe at me. Knowing my cloak and satchel will slow me down, I quickly get rid off them. Throwing them behind a dumpster. Nasty.

Before I have a chance to get ready Nightwing hits me with his staff. I stumble a bit, but regain my footing. He goes for another blow, though I block it and send a punch to his stomach. He holds his stomach and groans in pain, taking a step back. I take this as a chance to punch him again, aiming for his head this time.

Though before I could hit him he stands strait, grabs my arm, twists it so my back is to him, and whispers in my ear, "No one gets away from me to easily."

"Hasn't been to hard before," I pant out.

I quickly duck out from under his arms to in front of him and blast him with a chunk of rock. He flies back, hitting the wall and becoming unconscious. I tiptoe to Nightwing secretly, and place a tracking device in his boot and another on his belt just in case. I look to see mom pull out her whip and pull herself on top of the next building.

Before Batman could go after her I interrupt with, "Batty, shouldn't you be taking care of Wing Nut over there?"

He puts down the grappling hook and runs to his pathetic ex-side kick. Batman runs up to him, picking him up bridal style, and calling the Bat Mobile to him. He then gently places Nightwing and himself inside and drives off.

After their gone I crawl from my hiding spot and fly home, taking all the time in the world.
