I took in a breath as I aimed my weapon towards the guys on the ground. They were about three stories down, which meant I was three stories up. The perfect advantage point. There were three of them, and they had cornered a teenage girl. She looked like she was maybe fifteen but I couldn't really tell from all the way up here. One of the men reached to touch the young girls hair, and that caused her to smack his hand away. Meaning it was my turn to hit something.
I released my fingers on the bow and watched as the arrow soared through the air landing at their feet and causing a flash in the air. The men stumbled around shielding their eyes from the bright lights coming from the weapon. I used their lack of eye sight to my advantage, I shot one of my zip line arrows into the wall behind them. I grabbed ahold of my bow and slid down the line. One of the men stood directly in front of my landing zone rubbing his eyes.
Perfect, I thought as I kicked my feet forward making contact with the guys body sending him into the brick wall.
He let out a groan when he made contact and fell to the ground. The other two had sort of regained their eyesight and stared at me, anger in their eyes. I smirked, tossing my bow to the side putting my hands in the air.
"You ready to get beat by a girl?" I asked the men which seemed to make them both angrier.
The braver of the two, came at me and threw a punch towards my face that I was able to dodge, and in return I hit him square in the nose, which caused him to grab his face. The other one looked at his friend and started running towards me with his fists flying. I dodged every single punch he threw in the air. I bent down and swept his feet out from under him causing him to land on his ass.
I felt my watch buzz against my wrist, causing me to look down and read it.
'Where are you? You said you'd actually be on time tonight'
I breathed out a quiet 'fuck' as I looked up and saw that all three guys were now standing and glaring at me. They were about ten feet in front of me. I looked around the alley seeing it was just me and the three stooges. I assumed the teenage girl had ran away during the fighting. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose for a second, then looking up at the very angry men.
"Alright lets go ahead and get this over with," I said as the men started towards me.
The stooge in the middle reached in his pocket pulling out a switchblade. I widened my eyes letting a look of terror spread my face. This was my favorite move to play out in the field when I'm in a situation like this. The middle stooge laughed, thinking he had me beat.
"Well, well, well. Looks like we found something little lady here is scared of," he made his way over to me, extending his hand and holding the knife to my throat, as his boys stood on both sides of me ready to grab me if necessary. The main stooge removed the knife from my throat taking in my appearance. I was wearing a dark green suit with a hood attached, and a black mask to cover my face. He smirked for a few seconds before he raised his empty hand and punched me in the jaw. I reached up grabbing my jaw with my hand making sure it wasn't broke.
It wasn't, but that was my last straw. I looked up at him and started laughing," Can I give you two pieces of advice? The first, is before you threaten somebody, make sure they don't have other weapons," I said sliding my daggers out my thigh pockets and going into a crouching position sinking the blade into the two stooges leg making both fall onto their asses.
Before the main stooge could react, my dagger went into his leg as well giving him a matching wound to his dumb friends. This caused him to moan out in pain and fall to the ground with the dagger still in his leg. I leaned down and yanked it out causing him to yelp.
"And two, if I catch you again doing some bullshit like you were doing tonight, a stab to the leg isn't the only thing you'll have to worry about," I lowered my voice into an almost whisper as I leaned into his ear, "because it'll be your life that's next."
He gulped as I stood back up walking over to my bow and grabbing the zip line arrow that was in the wall, aiming it towards the top of the building. I looked back at the guys, I chuckled a little bit before pressing the button on my bow, causing me to go flying onto the roof of the building. Once I was at the top and hidden from the men below, I sighed collapsing to the ground. I took my mask off tossing it to the side along with my bow.
I moved my hand to my jaw, it may have been the only punch he was able to throw but it was a good one. My watch buzzed twice. I groaned softly before lifting my wrist above my face to see two messages on the screen.
The first message read; 'Where are you? I have a surprise for you all the way from Gotham'
I raised my eyebrow in confusion, A surprise? From Gotham? What is the even supposed to mean?
I shook the thought away as I read the other message; 'You better be on your way'
I sucked in my breath before standing up, collecting my things, and making my way to the other side of the roof. I climbed down the fire escape all the way to the bottom where my car was. When I got to the bottom I unlocked the vehicle and opened the trunk throwing my gear in and taking the bag that had my normal clothes in it out. I closed the trunk and made my way to the driver side, getting in and starting the vehicle.
"Pertinacious jerks, here I come," I said pulling out of the alley, onto the main street and in the direction to the gallery.
