Civil War

Several Months Ago

"Alright Tigra, Ivy we have a new mission for you." The intercom rings threw our practicing room. I grimace as Tigra follows through with her punch, nailing me right in the jaw. I stumble backwards as a cackle escapes Tigra's pursed lips.

"Pay attention, birthday girl." I roll my eyes, and swiftly move to her, she kicks up her leg as I catch it, her eyes bulge as I slam her to the ground. There was no need for me to say anything as I held out my hand for Tigra to grab. I pulled her up as she enveloped me in a hug. "You finally old enough to drink, ya know. After this assignment how about we go out, get plastered and regret it in the morning." I giggle as I hug back tighter. "Sounds like a plan."

We wash off and put on new uniforms and practically race each other to the meeting room. Although I was 21 and she was 30 we still acted as if we were twelve. I beat Tigra by a second as we instantly quieted down. The room was silent and they could probably hear us hollering down the hallway. How embarrassing, but we never learned our lesson. We sat beside each other as Viper locked eyes with Tigra, glaring.

"Alright, now that you're here it's time to get serious." She spoke very elegantly. Tigra and I both nod at her, as if to say we were calmed and ready to listen. Viper clears her throat and grabs a file, sliding over the table to Tigra and I. I grab it opening it and putting it in between us. "His name is Bruce Wayne, you may have heard of him." I skim it over seeing a very well put together man.

He was tall, 6"1 to be exact, tough build, about 215 lbs, he was 28 years old. I did know him, because who didn't. Bruce Wayne was the owner of Wayne Enterprise. He was a business mogul. Also a very well known player. There were stories after stories of women having one night stands with him.

I look up at Viper who was grinning at me. "Look, I know you're tired of using your body, but he responds well to overly gorgeous women, Tigra's not good with tricking them, she only wants to fight. Your delicate and make men think they have an actual future with you. We're not sure how you do it, but it's amazing." I glance at Tigra and she nods. Something had happened to Tigra and a man I was never told the story. I cross my arms leaning back in my chair.

"Alright, so I sleaze my way into his heart. What then?" Tigra chuckles as Viper sighs, "Well, we need data from him, he has some information we need desperately." I lean closer to Viper, "What kind of information?" I ask raising an eyebrow. Viper glances as Tigra who looks over to me. "It's not our job to know, it's our job to retrieve." I look at Tigra deeply, then back at Viper shrugging, "Whatever."

I wondered what kind of data they needed, and since I'm the one retrieving it, then I should be able to know. It all didn't matter though, I'll find it out myself. Viper pulls up his file on the white screen and a pointer. I sit back again crossing my arms. I hated this part of the meetings. This is where either Viper or Sitwell would read out the case file, then talk with all the other soldiers of a game plan. Which Tigra and I usually disregarded and did our own way. Viper said it gave her soldiers some involvement, that they all desperately needed.

"Bruce Wayne," Viper taps a key that puts up a picture of the man. "Born to the wealthy doctor Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha, who were themselves members of the prestigious Wayne and Kane families of Gotham City. Thomas and Martha Wayne were shot and killed outside of a theatre in Gotham City." The slide changes again to a picture from the crime screen. I stared intently. It wasn't gruesome, and it had minimal blood. The women, Martha looked tranquil, and father, was on his stomach. I knew how it felt to lose a parent right in front of you, the pain he must've felt, at such a young age to lose both, it must've have been a lot to deal with.

"CEO of Wayne Enterprises, very well know for being a business philanthropist and playboy. That's where Ivy comes into play." Eyes glance to me then back to the changing slide. It showed multiple pictures of different women, all having on thing in common, beauty. There was something unique about them all. There were only three pictures labeled, which means the rest of the women were only one night stands or not serious with Bruce.
