Next Gen Hero

A Lead

Noir POV

I swing around a flagpole. Around the third swing I let go and land on a man sending him into the snow. 

Noir: "Halt!"

Man2: "You'll never take me!"

He runs down the street. 

Noir: *hmph* "Amateur."

I grab a trashcan and toss it at the perp. It flies slamming into his back. He falls slamming face first onto the side of a building. 

Noir: "They never learn."

The cops arrest the perps when my scroll rings. I leap sitting on a roof ledge.

Noir: "Hello?"

Lucky: "Noir, it's me Lucky."

Noir: "Hey. Whatcha want?"

Lucky: "I finally cracked that scroll password. Took me almost three weeks but, it's done."

Noir: "Awesome. What'd you find?"

Lucky: "Surprisingly little. But,"

Noir: "What is it?"

Lucky: "The holder of the scroll was very active. Moved around a lot. According to the GPS they've been all over Vale for the past month."

Noir: "Any place in particular?"

Lucky: "No. But there is one they frequently stop at."

I stand up.

Noir: "Where?"

Lucky: "A little building on the intersection of Flavian Street and Brookhaven Avenue."

I look at my map.

Noir: "That's only two blocks away. I'll go investigate."

Lucky: "Be careful."

Noir: "I will."

I hang up and leap my way to the destination. Only a minute later I reach it and crawl my way into a hallway window. As I walk down it I text Lucky.

Noir: "Turns out our perp visited a hotel complex. Did they visit a specific room?"

Lucky: "Searching cameras. Check room 202."

Noir: "Copy."

I make my way to the end of the hallway. 

Noir: "Found you."

I twist the knob only to find it locked.

Noir: "Drat, locked."

I check my surroundings. When they're clear I kick the door open.

Noir: "Hope no one heard that."

I let myself in and search the apartment. 

Lucky: *text* "Anything?"

Noir: "Not yet."

I walk past the living room entering the main bedroom. It's then I find files tacked to the wall.

Noir: "Woah."

I look to see multiple files that've been heavily redacted.

Noir: "What're you hiding?"

I lift some files to see a map. There's an asterisk on a building in lower financial district. 

Noir: "What-"

Something is shoved into my neck. I go to yank it out but my eyes grow heavy. I try to fight but the sleepiness conquers and consumes my body. I faintly open my eyes to see the pavement moving. I'm then thrown into the back of van.

???: "Guess curiosity really did kill the cat."

I try to focus on them but my vision is too blurry. We begin moving when I pass back out. I fully awaken only to not recognize my surroundings.

Noir: "Where am I?"

???: "Morning sleeping beauty."

I look to see a man clad in black.

Noir: "Who are you?"

Jason: "Name's Jason."

Noir: "Where am I?"

Jason: "You're at my lair. I caught you snooping where you didn't belong."

Noir: "You're making a big mistake. When I break free-"

I go to break my restraints when something is injected into my neck.

Jason: "Sorry princess, but you're not going anywhere."

My eyes slowly close.

Noir: "Why're you... doing this?"'

Jason: "My boss knows you're hot on his tail. Therefore he tasked me with taking you out of the picture."

Noir: "You won't... get away... with this."

Jason: "Poor kid. I already have."

I finally go to sleep.

3rd POV

Jason looks to the side.

Jason: "Put the kid in the cell. And prep the table. 

He smiles darkly.

Jason: "The doctor's about to operate."

Y/N POV

I press Noir's name calling her. But like before it goes straight to voicemail.

Noir: "This' Noir. Sorry I couldn't answer. Leave it after the beep."

Y/N: "Noir, it's dad. I've been trying to call you for the last half hour. I'm starting to get worried. Please call me back. Please."

I hang up as the doorbell rings. I run to the door opening it. But it's not Noir.

Y/N: "What're you doing here Lucky?"

He pants holding up a finger. Collecting his breath he inhales.

Lucky: "Noir's in trouble."

The world goes silent.

Y/N: "What?"

I clench my fists.

Lucky: "She was investigating a lead to a case. Something happened and now she's in real bad trouble."

He opens a laptop showing me a video. It's then I see two men shoving her into a van and driving off. I try my best to hide my fury.

Y/N: "Where did they take her?"

He types a few keys.

Lucky: "Her last location puts her on the east side of Vale. Where the old dock were."

Wrath now seeps its way into me. I exit bumping Lucky out of the way.

Lucky: "Please save her."

Y/N: "I am."

I feel the wrath threatening to break free.

Y/N: "And I'm gonna kill the people stupid enough to take her."
