The building looked to be an old library. Most of the windows were boarded up, or broken.
The nights air was thick with smog and the death of Justice Forever still weighed heavy on Kick Ass And Hit Girl's hearts.

"This is it." Said Kick Ass climbing off the back of Hit Girl motorcycle.

"I have a bad feeling about this. What if it's a trap?" Said Hit Girl checking the clips to her guns.

"It doesn't matter. If she's in there I'm going in after her."

"Rushing in there, and getting yourself killed Dave, isn't going to do anyone any good."

"We can't just pass this up. It's all we got. We have no idea who this girl is, nor do we know anything about her. If she decides to just skip town. Then that's it. We lose her, and I can't, I won't let that happen."

"Fine." Said Hit Girl approaching the doubled glass doors, locked together with a thick chain and pad lock.

"How do we get in?" Asked Kick Ass trying to look threw the dirt infested window.

"Duck." Said Hit Girl.

"Huh."

Dave turned around to see Hit Girl pull loose a brick from cracked bench, and hurl it toward him. He had just duct as the brick flew over him, and shattered the glass door.

"What are you doing?" Demanded Kick Ass.
"Now she knows we're here."

"She already knows." Said Hit Girl pointing at a camera in the corner.

Great thought Kick Ass stepping over the broken glass, and making his way inside.

Waiting inside was a maze of shelves and forgotten ligature. The smell of moldy books grabbed at their nostrils, as the tippy toed deeper inside.

They crept threw the abandon building, just waiting for Murder Kitten to show herself.

Kick Ass and Hit Girl came to a division in there path.

"You take the stairs, I'll take the broken escalator." Said Kick Ass.

"I don't think we should separate."Replied Hit Girl.

"I'm not letting her slip pass us."said Kick Ass.

With one final look they went their separate ways.

Hit Girl slowly opened the door to the stair way, and carefully slipped inside.
The sound of the door clicking behind her made her stagger back, and attempt to turn the handle. Sure enough it was locked.

"Stupid." Said Hit Girl. "Oh no Dave!"

Hit girl sprinted up the stairs trying every door as she went. Every one was locked as she knew it would be.

They had walked right into Murder Kittens trap.

Up stairs Kick Ass found a disturbing sight. Pinned up on a wall were pictures, and names of every Justice Forever member. There was even cut out articles of every bust they were linked to.

Several of the faces had pink ex's drawn over them.

In the center of it all was a picture of Dave along side
Coronel Strips and Stars.

"How long has this syco been fallowing us?"

"Once kids began to die in record numbers, trying to become the next Kick Ass "

Kick Ass spun around to see Murder Kitten, with a tech 9 pointed at his face.

"Drop your gun." Said Murder Kitten.

"Why so you can Murder me, like you did all my friends?"

"Murder is to strong of a word, but at least now every time someone thinks of a superhero. They'll think of how Justice Forever was slaughtered. Then hopefully they won't be such in a rush to go out, and get themselves killed. You should be happy Dave. I did you a favour. You didn't have to clean up your mess, because I did it for you."

Fueled by anger, Kick Ass attempted to pull his gun, but was shot twice in the shoulder for his troubles.

Kick ass was sure he was dead, as he fell over backward onto a pile of discarded books. Only to be reassured that he was still alive by the fire ignited in his shoulder.

Murder Kitten removed his gun, and threw it down the escalator.

When she turned back around Kick Ass was holding a grenade. Still lying on the ground, Kick Ass pulled the pin, and slid it toward Murder Kitten. Whom simply side stepped it, and soccer kicked it down the escalator.

The explosion blew Murder Kitten off her feet, and set the bottom floor into a blazing inferno.

Murder Kitten slowly pulled herself up. She ripped off her mask, and threw it to the ground. She then removed a knife from her belt, and began stumbling toward him.

Kick ass laid there helpless. He screamed for Hit Girl, but all he heard in reply.. Was ringing in his ears, caused by the explosion.

"Enough playing Cat and Mouse. Don't worry I'll make it quick" Said Murder Kitten.
