When Love Is Turned Into A Weapon, Book 3. Mistresses Of Sin

Chapter Two - Performance

The family take their seats, each couple sat on a different row but took sear relatively close to each other.

"Do ever take both your boys out?" Bruce places his arm behind Barry, on the top of his chair.

"Of course I do." Barry hesitates, he lies.

"Then how come this is both their first time at a circus?" Bruce smirks at his partner, knowing that he has him cornered in a lie.

"What do you call this then?" Barry scoldes at him, he frustratedly let his arms out pointing at the other two couples.

"This doesn't count. You need need to take them out without us too." Bruce states.

Barry crosses his arms and sighs in defeat.

"I did raise Dick." Bruce puts in making Barry sighs more nodding and agreeing to Bruce.

Smoke gathers before the center stage of the tent "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome your host, your ringmaster... Mister Gold!" An announcement roared

"Welcome! Welcome!" The ringmaster appears from a cloud of smoke at the center of the ring. "As most of you already know, I am the ringmaster and your host. Call me Mister Gold!"

The crowd's cheer and roar his name. Lights flashing everywhere, pictures being taken as if he was famous.

"Let's get this sneak peak rolling and introduce our first act! Shall we." After the ringmaster's announcement he becomes completely engulfed by smoke and disappears.

His voice is all that remains along with the gasps of the audience. "For the first act, let me introduce."

The figure of a lady appears by the smoke along with three pillars that rise, soon surrounding her position.

"With precision and vengeance!" Her figure becomes clear as the smoke vanishes. She was clothed in linen and a small vest made of fur. She wore sturdy boots and leather gloves while preparing a weapon.

"Her thirst for a fruit, would never be enough to satisfy her needs." The pillars surrounding the woman close in on her exact location. Apples sit above each pillar, waiting.

The woman lifts her arms revealing her bow, she draws three arrows from her satchel and fires them all at once towards the direction of the pillars. "Her skills... complete with evil." She fires the three arrows all at once. The crowd went silent, jaws dropped, fists closed, muscles clenched as they watch the three apples split into two and fall off their pillars in unison.

The crowds cheered and roared once more from her talent.

"Pffft, even Artemis could do that..." Wally rolled his eyes.

"Our second performer." Smoke once again fogged the center stage, the lights grew dark.

"Unlike us." The smoke clears revealing the second performer, another woman who held wands on each. "Her roar is... dragon kin." The woman lights her wand's, each burned a flame at the tip. "Her oxygen is fire." She blows at the tip of the wand causing the tiny flame to roar into a blaze before almost everyone in the audience. "Her capabilities... magnificent."

The crowd once again cheered and clapped at the performance and talent.

"And finally, the daring..." This time there was no smoke. All the lights flew towards the ceiling of the circus tent. "The sky... where she belongs." Another woman swings from rope to rope, platform from platform with perfection. "Her tricks... wicked."
