Red Hood stood before me, not as his mentor and senior did but different, he stood before me as an equal. "I...am" I answered slowly. I watched as he nodded slowly. "And you...have a cult of dogs?" HE asked unsure.
A small smile played on my lips at the amusing accession "More of a pack," I answer simply. "And what? Are one of those weird 'I'm the alpha' kinda girls?" HE asked in a bemused tone. I scoff at his judgment.
"No I'm the leader. My partner, Rand, he is the Alpha." I snap. Red Hood tilted his head at me as he crossed his arms and threw one leg over the other in a rather relaxed manner. "Partner huh? And just where is the partner of yours is?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes before shooting him a glare "Your dumbass police force just dragged him away," I snarled in disgust. I hear him hum as he nodded his head. "So that dog out their is your partner?" he asked.
"HE ISN'T JUST A DOG!" I snapped. Red Hood looks completely unfazed by my yelling as he still sat in his same relaxed position. "He's my friend, My partner for life," I explained. "And just what are those other dogs huh? The ones that crawled the place. There was over a hundred of them you know. I counted every one as we loaded them up by the truck load." HE asked.
My eyes widen at his comments "Those are my family and so help me I will watch this city burn, I along with it if necessary, if it means I get them back. Do you have any idea what you've done just by doing what you did to them?!?" I snarled as I jerked forward.
"Please enlighten me," he smirked as he leaned forward to meet me. "Those 'dogs' you've collected and left unsupervised are probably being sold off by dirty police as we speak. Because those 'dogs' were raised by Anubis. The messenger of death and the Master of man's best friend, which makes them the Golden bunch of the crop and the best of the best for every dog fighting ring I've spited." I snarled.
"I've spent my life protecting them from the shit we dreadfully call Gotham and so help me god if I find out that even one of family has been sold off by your fucking damned police force. Not only will I have your ass, but everyone of your family's and this pathetic fucking excuse you call a police force," I snarl with every fiber of being.
"Quite a mouth you have there. Needless to say I'm impressed." He mused. I felt my blood boil at his carefree nature. "If you think this is a fucking-" I start but Red Hood held up his hand to shut me up. I snarl as I serum to my morals and shut my mouth "Wow! so you do have manners!" He laughed.
"I won't for long," I muttered but I watched as he sat up straight and crossed his arms over the table. "If you must know..." He sighed dramatically "We have taken that in account and as we speak Robin and Red Robin are watching over every single one of your little family members," He assured.
I felt myself relax drastically as I herd his words. "Robin huh?" I laugh to myself "Yeah the demon spawn gave me one hell of a surprise when I saw him so focused on the job. Even went to so far as to give Red Robin one hell of threat if he fucked up," Red Hood mused clearly amused by the entire scenario.
"You wouldn't happen to know him would you?" HE asked rather amused. I smirked at him and simply shrugged. Red Hood laughed and shook his head. "I'll tell you one thing you sure as hell gave Nightwing a run for his money. That was one hell of an ass kicking for a chained up rabid teenage girl," He snorted.
I rolled my eyes at his crude statement "It's impressive all you've accomplished considering your in the hot seat," HE mused. I tiled my head and smirked "You should see me when I'm in your seat," I grin. He snorted clearly beyond amused "No thanks," He snorted.
I hum "Pity," I muse. "Now, I've fucked off enough listen to me carefully," He said seriously. I let out a sigh and nodded softly. "That boss that me and robin busted up a few days ago. He traded information for a few years off his sentence," HE explained.
My eyes widen "And this information was?" I asked swallowing thickly. "A underage girl living alone unsupervised has been fostering a pack of rabid dogs carrying diseases," He answered. A scowl crossed my face.
"He had convinced the police you were purposely making them this way to take over throw the city," He continued. I grip the table to keep myself grounded. "I did no such thing," I whisper holding onto the table for dear life.
"I know," HE answered softly "Even though he lied he was right about a minor living unsupervised. He was charged more years for false information but he did get the few years he bargained for because he was right about the under age child," He continued but his voice got softer and softer as my form grew weak and tears spilled.
"It's not my fault though," I whimpered, "I know kid, I know" He whispered. "Are they going to take them away from me?!?" I gasp and snapped my head up to look at him. I saw a pained look on his face.
"No," I whisper in disbelief. "No ,No, No, No they can't!" I whimper as I felt my world crumble. "I have the necessary assets to keep them there. The space, the food, and hygiene abilities!" I cry. "I know kid, It's rather impressive. But, It's all in your name and minors can't be in-charge of such major assets." He whispered.
A sob escaped my mouth in disbelief "So what? are they just going to bid off all that I worked for?!?" I snapped. "No It's all going to stay in your name, your just not going to be able to accesses it until your eighteen," He said.
I sob "So I get to keep everything but what's important?" I laugh completely and utterly defeated. I sob and I move to wipe away the built up tears that stung my eyes but they were jerked down by the chains. I let out a scream in defeat and completely slump in my chair.
I cried and cried, I cried so much that I didn't realized Red Hood had unlocked my chains until I moved to burry my head into my hands and arms. I slide from my seat and curdled up into a ball rocking back and forth under the metal table.
A suffocating weight crashed down on me. I dug my nails into my hair and began to pull and tug on it. I hiccupped and sobbed making it harder and harder to breath. I scream as the weight got heavier and heavier. I didn't even notice Red Hood who stood there shocked and panicked
The man cursed as it finally registered what was happing to the broken girl before him. He crouched to her level and slid under the table. Red Hood gently took the girl in his arms and gripped both hands tightly.
"Listen to me Anubis," He said softly trying his best not to cause more panic to stir within the girl. He pressed her head against his chest "Listen to my heart beat. I want you to breath with its beat okay?" He whispered.
The girl responded by gripping Red Hood's hands tightly. "Your gonna be okay kid, Your gonna get threw this, We're gonna get threw this," He whispered softly as the once strong and powerful Anubis crumbled in his arms.
