Crimson X

Chapter 15: Just Keep Walking

Shar crossed her arms as she looked a glowing question mark. She bit her lip and turned around. He was most definitely here, his trophies were everywhere. The question was where he actually was. Shar shook her head. Why did she actually want to find him? While it’s true he didn’t really hurt her – that bad – he was still a rogue.

“A less dangerous rogue, all be it,” She hummed to herself. Her eyes glanced over to a bridge that led to Joker’s Funland. “What do we have here?”

“Alright, bombs are set, Mister Cobblepot.”

“Good, blow it up!”

“What? But we’re still here!”

The thugs screamed as the bridge blew out. Shar stumbled a bit as it made the earth shake around her. She supported herself on the wall seeing the explosion. She glanced over at some thugs wearing clown masks. At least they wouldn’t be able to get over here.

Shar looked down at her arm. She moved her arm and noticed a red dot. Her head tilted as she analyzed it as it moved across to her chest. Her eyes widened and she quickly ducked behind a wall. Shar’s breathing was heavy. Someone was trying to kill her with a sniper rifle.

“I have to find Edward,” She whispered to herself and looked around the area. “Before I get killed.”

Shar stood up and held the bat that Harley Quinn gave her firmly. She gulped as se didn’t see the red light – hopefully it was because gone and it wasn’t on her back. Looking around, she saw a church. Question mark banners were thrown out and came cascading down. She smiled with hope and began sprinting towards the area. Edward had to be there – he had to.

Shar tripped and fell to the ground right when a gun shot rang throughout the air. She screamed as a searing pain rang throughout her cheek. She stood up quickly and ran into an ally. She couldn’t be out in the open, not when someone was trying to shoot and kill her. A hand rose up to her cheek as she felt a liquid, she was bleeding.

“Let’s get out!” She heard someone shout near the church. “Hurry!”

Doctors came out – some were crying – other’s had a stern look on their face. Another one came limping out; a knife in his leg. Shar narrowed her eyes towards one of the men. It was Aaron Cash. She lit up – he was reliable. Shar took a deep breath and sprinted towards him.

“Mister Cash!”

Aaron Cash looked over from supporting his body with his good arm. He narrowed his eyes at a new person. He didn’t know her – heck – he didn’t know anyone with red hair besides Ivy. Though, the voice did sound familiar.

Shar stopped running and smiled at him, “It’s Shar Channing – form the asylum.” She looked around, “What’s going on?”

Aaron narrowed his eyes, “Dyed your hair I see. Riddler’s having get out. He’s taking us somewhere.”

“That’s good,” She said absent minded.
