Femme Fatale.

Chapter Twenty-Five.

"Down here!" Harley opened a hatch in the floor as Roman's men were starting to attack. "Follow me!" "Come on, go!" You were the third person to make your way down. After Harley and Cassandra, but before Renee, Dinah, and Helena.

As you were waiting for Helena, all of you ended up standing in shock when you saw her come down the slide with her stabbing one of Roman's men in the throat. "What?" She took notice of all of your surprised faces. Harley spoke amidst the silence. "You are so cool. Okay, this way!" 

Just then, more of Roman's goons started to show up. You pushed Cassandra behind you to keep her away. "Get ready, ladies." Without a second wasted, a fight erupted and you made sure to get Cassandra to a safe place and to stay with her. Don't get it twisted! You could certainly fight when you needed to, but you thought your resources were better spent protecting Cassandra.

The both of you were now behind fun house mirrors, catching your breath. Not from exertion, it was more because anxiety. There was a lot going on around you. The bright lights, all of the sounds, and oh yeah! Let's not forget the men coming after you. But you had to put your own struggles aside and help Casandra, who was obviously anxious herself. You crouched down to meet her eyes. "Kid, I promised you that things were going to be okay. You just have to continue to trust me. Can you do that?" No words came from her, just a nod. At least you knew that she understood what you were saying.

You two continued to stay there for a bit until one of the goons smashed a mirror. You were ready to throw a punch until Renee covered it for you. You thanked her as you and Cassandra took cover behind a...giant rubber hand. Strange, right, but considering that it was a fun house you didn't question it too much. This was only for a good minute until a goon snatched Cassandra up. "Let me go!" You ran to her as quick as you possibly could, but Helena shot the man before you could do anything. You caught up to the two of them and followed. "This way! Come on, it's okay. You shouldn't have to see this. Here, hold onto this for me, okay? That's all you think about. Just close your eyes tight and think about it, okay?" Helena handed Casandra a purple toy car and put it in the palm of her hand. You figure it was something that she had as a kid. "Here. Get down. Come on. You'll be safe." Helena looked up at you with pleading eyes. "Please continue to keep an eye on her, yes?" "Of course." From there, you crouched down with Cassandra and held her hand with the car in it.

You thought it was best to keep moving so you quickly made your way. "Canary!" "Are you guys okay?" Both of you nodded. "We gotta go this way!" You guys immediately turned to look at Harley, noticing that she was now wearing skates. "When the fuck did she have time to do a shoe change?" No one had the slightest clue. "Come on!" Dinah got you guys to a new hiding spot as she went back to fight. When there were no more men to fight, you and Cassandra stepped out of our hiding place and continued on.

Harley wrapped her arm around Cassandra. "So, forgive me yet?" She flinched immediately. "Get off of me!"

All of you were now making your way out of the fun house. All of this was over, what a relief! Just from that realization alone, you suddenly felt yourself relax. Harley broke the silence. "Anyone else hungry? I know a great taco spot!" Everyone started to chime in. "I'm starving." "I love tacos!" "Really?"

All of that small, excited chatter abruptly ended when a sudden bullet went right through Reene. You looked up to see Roman wearing his stupid mask while holding a gun. That's when you realized that this fight was anything but over. More goons under Roman's command started to pour in.

There was a chance you may not be getting out of here alive.
