Mr Breaking and Entering (9)

Chapter Nine - Mr Breaking and Entering.

Nightwing decided he would go on the next team mission. Not to fight but to wait for Warrior to show up and offer her friendship. Luckily for him the next mission that came in was the Joker had decided that robbing a bank would be appropriate for a Friday night.

As Nightwing was preparing to take on the Jokers goons a dagger flew past him and hit the goon in the leg. Nightwing looked back to see Warrior standing behind him. The two exchanged glances before Warrior walked past him and took the dagger the goons leg as he cowered in pain on the sidewalk outside the bank. Another goon had come up behind Nightwing and wrapped his huge hulk arms around Nightwings neck.

Warrior ran up to the goon and punched his face hard causing him to drop Nightwing.

"Thanks" He said as he rubbed his neck.

"You get Joker, I got these"

Nightwing nodded as Warrior kicked another goon back, pulling out her swords from their sheaths.  

Batman jumped from the shadows and nodded at the two hero's. Nightwing and Batman went into the bank leaving Warrior to deal with the two remaining goons.  

A goon picked up a dagger from his arm as Warrior began to prepare herself for a jump, stabbing her in her side. She let out ab angry moan before turning around, she spin kicked him in the face. He easily fell down while the other ran straight for her. Quickly she pulled out the dagger stuck in her side, she was taught to ignore pain. She slipped to the side and stuck her blade into his back. He fell down to his knees screaming. Warrior kicked him down. She didn't want to waste her time on villains. Just as the last goon fell Batman and Nightwing emerged from the bank with a hand cuffed Joker. Six police cars pulled up at the scene. Warrior took this as her time to escape silently into the shadows and go home to her small apartment unaware of the ex boy wonder following her.

Pulling off her spandex she couldn't help but whence at her bloody side.

"It's not like it hasn't happened before" she growled to herself as she felt her tears building with tears.

She took out a first aid kit from under the sink in the kitchen and turned on the shower. She stood under the shower in her black sports bra and underwear as she realised she'd been nicked more than once that day. Washing away the blood and biting her lip at the pain she growled to herself as she realised that she needed stitches. As she pulled the shower curtains back she screamed at the sight before her.

"Sorry sorry I didn't think...." He trailed off as he looked at her.

"What the hell?! Get out!!" She screamed.

Blushing he walked out of the bathroom leaving Storm horrified and feeling strange. His scent mixed with the smell of water in the air, causing Storm to stop thinking for a minute. She hadn't smelt anything so appetizing before. Shaking her head she knew she couldn't kill him. He was part of the Justice League and the mission would be over. Quickly Storm put on some numbing cream and her wound stopped pumping blood. She turned off the shower and changed out of her wet clothes to a red sports bra and red shorts she had lying on the bathroom floor. Realising she hadn't the right thread to stitch up her cut she headed out of the bathroom and to the kitchen.

"What do you want?" She asked as she passed him. "I know superheroes are welcome in any home but does breaking and entering count?"

"I didn't break in, you left the window unlocked"

Catching a glimpse at herself in the kettle she sighed in relief as she realised her domino mask was still on.

"What do you want?" She asked again as she threaded her neddle.

"To offer friendship" he said as he watched her from his seat in one of the island chairs. "To join us"

"You offer friendship by breaking into my home and walking in on me in the shower?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't mean any harm, I thought you were a rogue assistant who was trying to play a trick on me"

She nodded before taking a deep breath as she stuck the neddle into the skin and began stitching.

"Shouldn't you go a doctor for that?"

"Shouldn't you learn to knock? You know most people wouldn't take too kindly to breaking and entering"

He smirks as he leaned against the island table.

"So what brings you to Star City?"

"I could ask you the same question. Pass me the scissors behind you"

He turned and plucked the scissors from the counter behind him in the little jar and passed them to her, who stood holding the thread. She cut the excess thread and began fixing up the rest.

"You. The Justice League wants you to join us and help train the new recruits"

"And what if I refuse?"

"Your call"

Silence took over as she put away the thread and neddle.

"Who are you?" Nightwing asked.

Warrior smiled.

"I'm Warrior, but you knew that"

"You know I'm a great computer hacker, if I do say so myself, and I can't find anything on you, not even a facebook"

"Maybe there's nothing to be found" she said smiling at him as she sat on the table top across from him.

He couldn't help but stare at her. That smile, even with the domino mask on, reminded him of Storm. He wondered where she was, how she was getting on. He couldn't help but touch her face. Warrior blushed at his warm touch. She couldn't remember being touched with such care. Then she remembered Roxies warning. She pushed him back slightly. He looked up at her.

"Sorry sorry, its just you remind me of someone I used to know"

"Gotye.. love his music" Warrior replied as she smiled at him again. "Alright Mr. Breaking and Entering I'll join your little team. When do I start?"

"Come down tomorrow and I'll introduce you to the team. The Justice League will look forward to meeting you too"

"Tomorrow" she agreed as he left. "At my usual spot"
