An Assassin's Rose

Chapter 9: Tracking Ubu

Ruby moan in annoyance when she felt Damian start to get up. Telling her that it's 4 going on 5 right now.

She moves the covers over her head "Seriously?! Why can't you sleep like a normal person?" her muffled voice asked.

Damian rolls his eyes "I have a legacy to uphold and must train every day, besides like they say, the early bird gets the worm.

Turning around Ruby pokes her head out and opens one eye to look at him "1. I find it cute that you tried to crack your first joke; and 2. The early bird doesn't get the worm because the Owl beat them to it making it all in vain as the early bird starves until the afternoon...that's if he's lucky enough to find food."

Damian blinks at her in surprise before he thinks about it himself "Strangely enough...That actually makes sense. But I'm still going to train" he said as he goes into his bathroom and took a nice hot shower.

Once he was done he came out in his training clothes and saw that Ruby had fallen asleep.

Smirking, he walks over to push her out of bed when the sleeping huntress said, "If you come a step closer, not only will I drop kick you, I will let it slip that you use to sleep with a teddy bear wearing a ninja costume named 'Mr. Sleeping Ninja' until a year ago."

The assassin stops right in his tracks in pure horror and shock "How do you know about that?!" he exclaimed.

Ruby giggles "Talia, she told me all of your embarrassing stories and she showed me the photo album that had multiple pictures that she took without you noticing."

From the front of his face to the tips of his ears were glowing red to the point it could put both a firetruck and Ruby's cape to shame.

"YOU EVIL, EVIL GIRL!" He yelled as he stomps out of the room with the door slamming right in front of him.

As he makes it through the house he kept grumbling about how Silver eyed devil disguised as a sweet and innocent girl.

As he walks through the house he comes across a sword that looks perfect for fighting. Taking it off the wall he walks towards the backyard and starts to train.

Not noticing that Alfred saw him through a window.

Time Skip...
Ruby yawns as she walks aimlessly through the house until she came across the kitchen and saw Alfred and Bruce looking out the window.

"He's still at it?" she asked looking for herself and felt bad for the shrubbery giraffe.

"Typical" she muttered as she stretches her arms upward.

She slightly winces and holds her side where the bullet wound is. Even if she took the antidote it takes a while for a wound to actually heal from the Антирегенерация.

"Something wrong?" Bruce asked.

"It's nothing, my arm is still kinda sore from the bullet."

Both men looked at her in shock "Bullet?" Alfred said as he grabs her arm to look at the slightly bloody gauze.

"Was that caused in the invasion?"

"Yep." Ruby replied.

"If you want. I could stich the wound close." Alfred offered.

Ruby shakes her head "It's healing just fine on it's own. Besides, I have taken more damage than this because of my training. That I started to train with Damian, and that is not a experience that you come out unscathed."

She exclaims in shock as Damian runs up on the window again, this time on purpose by the way he was smirking at her.

The young huntress growls as she opens the window "Better start sparing with him before he kills anymore shrubbery." She said jumping out of the window.
