Crushing Romance

Partners?!

I can't believe it!? Me?! A young, dumb assassin meeting the Demons Head. Or as Sportsmaster calls him, Demon Daddy. What a stupid name! It is kinda cute though. Forget I said that.

"Well, well. Huntress. Or should I say, Paula Nyugen." Ra Al Ghul calmly pronounces, causing Huntress's bowed head to quickly rise in shock of his bluntness.
"It's alright child. Only Sportsmaster is in here besides me. Regardless, I demanded your presence here today to discuss you joining the League of Shadows. Remember that this is your choice. If you refuse, it is merely your loss, child" Ra Al Ghul proceeds with a chuckle.
"Wow! That's a great offer! But first of all, it's Huntress! Second, I'm not a CHILD!!! And thirdly, sure! I'll join! Huntress yells, bringing a smirk to Sportsmaster's face and a frown to Ra's.
"Well, you gotta admit, she's got spunk." Sportsmaster grins.
"Yes. Indeed she does. Very well. Come forward, Huntress."
Immediately Huntress walks towards Ra Al Ghul and respectfully bows again.
"No need for that my dear. Unless of course you desire so. Unlike you, Sportsmaster here has never shown enough respect to bow. It is unfortunate that he was raised by dogs." Ra Al Ghul hisses.
"Yeah, well say what you want Demon Daddy. Nothin can cut this flesh." Sportsmaster retorts.
Suddenly huntress pulls out a small dagger and nicks Sportsmaster's jaw.
"Hey!" He yells, forcefully grabbing ahold of Paula's wrist.
"Ughh!" Huntress exclaims.
"Now, now, my dear assassins. Must you partners really fight with each other?" Ra Al Ghul grins.
"Partners?!" Both Sportsmaster and Huntress blurt in unison.
"You didn't say anything about that!" Huntress yells.
"I'm your master. I do not answer to you, young one." Ra glares.
"Yeah! Put her in her place, Ra!" Sportsmaster teases.
"Shut up!" Paula yells, elbowing Sportsmaster's rib cage.
"Ow!" She yells.
"That was dumb." He grins.
"How was I supposed to know your suit was made of steel!"
"Where else do you think Superman got the idea for his name?" He smirks.
"Whatever! You wish!" Paula smiles, putting another grin on Sportsmaster's face.
"If you two are finished, you may go. Meanwhile, I want you to practice your coordination skills while you stay on the Island, preparing for your first mission as a team." Ra Al Ghul demands.
"Whatever you say boss." Sportsmaster's responds while leaving the darkly lit room, Huntress following him.

"Just so you know, I don't want you to be my partner." Huntress glares.
"Ha! Yeah right, Little Brat!" Sportsmaster laughs.
"Oh, by the way, how's your jaw?" Huntress questions while turning towards Sportsmaster, gently touching the cut on his face.
"It's fine, Paula. Takes more than that to hurt me." Sportsmaster's replies, gripping her hand, pulling it down.
"You know, for once, I believe you." Huntress softly smiles.
"Good. That will help this little team,
Pretty Brat." Sportsmaster grins.
"You did it again, handsome." Paula flirts.
"Yeah. I suppose I did." Sportsmaster encourages, causing Huntress to raise a brow.
"I like it." Huntress says, drawing closer to him.
"I'm sure you do." Sportsmaster replies, interrupting the moment, he walks away. Leaving Huntress disappointed, yet again.
