Dark Meets Light

The Beginning

Amora's Pov

     There I was, a clear opportunity to steal some extravagant. I already managed to get into the weapon section of the museum, but I still couldn't figure out how I was going to get into the alarm sensitive case protecting the emerald encrusted dagger.

I had my hand by the glass when I heard the sound of someone sneaking around the corner. "Fuck it," I mumbled under my breath as I smashed my hand through the glass case and grabbed the dagger. Quickly I shoved in into a secret pocket inside me jacket.

"Put it back," a man's voice ordered. I looked up to see Nightwing holding up his escrima sticks. I rolled my eyes and laughed bitterly, "You don't tell me what to do. I don't listen to guys in skin tight costumes unless you're cosplaying then aye that's cute."

I sensed someone behind me, quickly I turned around and kicked the guy in the neck. I heard a groan from behind his mask as he stubbled back. Lots of people started storming into the building. The rest of the bat gang would have been normal, but there was something completely off. Captain America and Iron Man ran in with Batman and Robin. "Oh this is new," I yelled out as I morphed through the wall.

I stumbled out into the alley, almost falling. I quickly made sure everything was in place and so didn't drop the dagger. I felt someone grab my arm and force me to turn around. A girl around my height with. She looked familiar but I couldn't pin point where I knew her from. I noticed a small gold light coming from her pocket. "Uh your pocket is glowing...that's not normal." I could feel heat coming from the black rose tattoo on my neck. She looked down to her pocket then back at me, "And your neck is glowing."

Alice's POV:

My throat and lungs felt like they were on fire, my legs felt as if they could give out any minute but somehow I got out, and I wasn't about to get dragged back by some asshole with a taser. I ducked into an alleyway and into a random door, I didn't know where it led, nor did I care at the moment. As I looked up from catching my breath I see some very angry people staring at me. "I-I'm...uh...i-um...." My mind was racing and my heart felt like it was going to explode.

I backed up against a wall holding my hands up awkwardly. "Sorry to intrude...um....I'm just um..." I couldn't just leave, I would get taken back to the training base, where god knows what hell awaits me. I was in a bit of a predicament, either be shot, or be punished for my "wrong doings" when I really just wanted freedom.

A man raised a gun at me and I closed my eyes, bracing for impact, but the impact never came? I slowly opened my eyes to see black and gold smoke clearing and a black haired lady in front of me, lady? Maybe it was just a lanky long haired man. No, it was a lady, they looked nice from the back, well he could've done squats-nevermind that, I heard a squelching sound and something thud on the floor, I looked over the lady's shoulder, there lay the man and in place of his heart there was a hole. I backed away from the lady and against the wall again, would she do that to me too!? The lady picked me up and slung me over her shoulder. I didn't complain. The view from here was nice anyway. The lady takes me to an office and sits me on the desk. It was a big office with tall walls and a chandelier, there were murals on the wall. I got off the desk and sat in a chair. It was soft. It was big and fluffy.

The lady sits across from me and looks down at me. I was kind of intimidated but also kind of turned on? The lady looks at the ceiling with a sigh "Alright, so....here's the deal......you didn't see anything." The chick had a very thick Russian accent.

The woman makes a card appear between her index and middle finger. The card was matte black with golden details. I slowly took the card. As I took it the black rose on the lady's neck flickered gold and the card glowed.

An imaged flashed in my mind over a girl around my size with copper red hair and strange eyes. One eye was blue with a sunflower like shape around the iris but the other eyes was purple and gold, somewhat like a galaxy.

I looked up at her and watched as a smirk formed on her blood red lips. I slowly got up and tripped over my own feet, but the lady caught me. "Careful there, lil zucca." I didn't understand her but I quickly got up and stumbled out the door.

I looked at her eyes and before I could speak I heard Steve's voice from the other end of the alley. "Alice? Did you get the girl?" I didn't know what to say, I was kind of taken aback by the memory, but then I found my words."Yeah...I got her." I grabbed the girl's arm and walked with her to Mr. Steve.

Amora's Pov

     I kept up my guard as the girl handed me off to Captain America. For normal people the height difference would be intimidating, but at the moment I just despised him all together. I felt someone pulls my arms behind my back and cuff me, "Oh no, you can't take me to jail. That's a bad idea." There wouldn't have been any harm if they did, I just didn't want to go somewhere to be stuck for 24 hours.

     "Like we're actually going to put you in jail," Nightwing laughed. "You would probably just escape and continue your thieving ways." I manage to get out of my handcuff and throw them at him. "Don't be such a dick, Dick!" Red Robin, Red Hood, and Robin fall onto the ground laughing.
