NEW YORK CITY

A man, wearing a long leather coat and a hat walked in the rainy weather, the sky was shedding tears while the lightning roared with vengeance.

He was following a woman who was quite tall, taller than an average man. She was walking hurriedly and quickly went inside a dark alley, and the man followed her inside.

He found a dead end and the woman wasn't there, he felt someone land behind him.

"You shouldn't follow women like that, it can get you in trouble," said the woman threateningly, as she dropped her purse and punched her fist.

"You are no mere woman," said the man with a hint of rage, he clenched his fist prepared to fight.

"So get with it, i will crush you," she challenged him and got into a fight stance, the man followed suit and got to his own stance. On an unknown signal they both ran at each other, the woman was first to deliver a punch but the man was fast he ducked under her fist and delivered a hard upper cut to her chin.

She cried out in pain as her teeth were rattled as her mouth got filled with blood, he then followed with a roundhouse kick at her abdomen, making her skid back near her purse. She spat her blood and wiped her mouth.

"How are you able to harm me? You are not some common man," she said in anger as she then quickly took out a short dagger from her purse and got ready, now she was defensive as the unknown assailant was much stronger than she had thought.

The man said nothing more and first was to attack her now, she saw him launch a punch towards her chest, but she was quick now, she grabbed the extended arm and stabbed him towards his head.

*clang*

Her eyes widened with shock as she saw her blade collide with his forearm but his forearm was uninjured. She quickly ripped her dagger away and threw the man away on the alley wall, instead of colliding with the wall the man just stuck on the surface instead of colliding.

"What are you?" She asked in shock. 

"Your kin's death!" the man replied with hidden rage, he then jumped of the wall as he preapred his hand to punch as he launched towards her.

The woman prepared to counter him with her dagger, but the man was fast he had jumped on her shoulder and crawled to her back. The woman was shocked at his fluid movement, the man cocked his fist back and surprisingly a bone like appendage popped out of his wrist which was pointy and sharp.

Before the woman could react to anything else he jammed the appendage in her side of the head, the woman screamed in pain as blood sprouted out of her skull like a fountain. The man pulled back  his wrist as some brain matter leaked out from the whole, he landed on his feet and let her body fall, the woman died on spot.

He then flipped through her purse and found her ID,

"Bronte of Themyscira, Captain of Themyscira guard unit,"

He read her ID, he heard the sound of the police siren, must have been someone who had called the police after hearing the bloodcurdling scream.

The police then found a dead body of a woman dead on the floor.

"It's another woman dead," said a female officer with rage and sorrow as she looked at the dead woman.

"She's no mere woman," Stated her partner as he examined the ID that was dropped below.

"She was an Amazon, look at her Embassy ID. She's the first victim in New York and someone wants to give the amazons a message," he replied to his confused partner and showed her the ID.

True to his word, it was a Themyscirian ID, and her picture had a crude x drawn with blood and a sharp object.

"Wonder Woman is going to get pissed now," said the female officer, a little happy that the criminal will be brought to justice.

From the adjacent building the man was observing the cops below as wind blew his coat like a cape, his phone buzzed in his pocket as he picked it up.

"Rose," he greeted someone on the call.

"If you are done with your vengeance can you just come, I need a backup!" she roared at him through the call.

"I thought you can handle the mission?" asked the man.

"Fuck off, the plan turned nasty due to unexpected bat turn!" she raged through the call.

"You mean bad turn?" asked the man to make sure he listened right.

"NO! I meant what I said! Batman interfered with our plans along with your crazy stalker!," said Rose as she sighed deeply.

"Status of the deal?" asked the man.

"We will meet some other meeting point, but I fear Bat will interrupt again," said Rose and he can imagine her rubbing her brows in frustration.

" I will be there ASAP," assured the man.

"You better be there Parker!" said Rose then she cut off her call.

NEXT DAY

THEMYSCIRA EMBASSY

Diana of Themyscira sat in her office, meticulously reviewing potential trade deals for her people. Suddenly, the door to her office flung open, and an Amazon hurriedly entered.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Diana, intrigued.

"Princess, Br....Bronte was murdered last night," she replied sorrowfully.

"WHAT!" she stood up abruptly, the force was so great her chair was forced back.

"Some officers are here with Bronte's belonging," said the Amazon sorrowfully.

Without a word Diana followed the amazon guard and met the cops in the hallway.

"Princess," greeted everyone in the hall, she just nodded and looked at the cops.

"Ma'am we are here to confirm the identity of last night's victim. We suspect she was an amazon due to her identification," said the male cop from last night as the female cop handed her the belonging.

Diana recognized the marked ID and the name, but she realized sorrowfully after seeing the dagger in  the belongings, a fine greek gold dagger that only amazons have and use.

"Who Did This!?"She asked angrily, her eyes filled with rage.....
