Revenge or Redemption RE-PUB Chapter One

Chapter One- "Assassin"

Sam never saw it coming.

He had ten calmly walking towards the school when the first shot had been fired. A .50 Caliber grazed his neck. Immediately all of the students on the campus ducked for cover.

Sam dove behind a pillar and quickly took off his jacket to reveal the infamous crimson dagger beneath.

This time, the assassin never saw it coming. The dagger flew through the air and impaled itself in the barrel of her sniper rifle. The assassin saw the dagger and leaped for cover as it exploded.

A moment later, Revenge had grabbed her and swung to the nearest building. Before they touched the ground, the assassin had jumped from Revenge's grasp and landed on the building, tossing daggers as she landed.

Revenge dodged the daggers. He turned around just in time to see a green gloved fist coming right at his face. Revenge was unable to get his bearings as the assassin hit him from all sides. She took his legs out from under him and kicked him off the building.

Revenge darted his hand up at the last minute, catching the edge of the building. The assassin stomped his hand and Revenge fell, shooting his grappling line. Before the line had even secured, the assassin had cut the line and Revenge fell again.

Revenge faintly remembered falling on the police car ten stories down and driving off before anyone could check on him.

"So how does Red Revenge know your identity?" Robin asked.

Before the Dark Knight could respond, the zeta-tubes hummed to life.

"Recognized, Red Revenge. B-13." the computer voice rang out. A moment later, Revenge half limped out of the zeta-tube.

Cheshire's mask clattered to the ground in front of the Boy Wonder.

"Keep your villains out of my city." Revenge said. "Or they won't leave at all."

Robin raised an eyebrow at the Batman.

"Go talk to Red Arrow about keeping his villains out of your city." Batman growled.

"Funny." Revenge snarled back, and teleported back to his home.

---------------------

"Sarah!" Revenge snapped before his bike had even stopped.

"Here we go again." Sarah sighed.

"I want a picture of every female assassin between the ages of 14 & 17 around 5'6"." Revenge demanded, shedding his mask and running a hand through his hair.

Sarah typed in the information and several images popped up.

"Cheshire, 5'8", 17 years old." Sarah said. "Indigo Vengeance, 5'7", 15 years old*. Holly, 5'6", 15 years old. Lione-"

"Stop!" Revenge interrupted. "Go back."

Sarah flipped back one picture to the assassin Holly. The girl had long, blonde hair that flowed halfway to her elbows, a beautiful, curvy figure, and crystalline jade eyes. She had on a see-through green body suit. Over that was a black tank top that stopped well short of her waist, and black short shorts. Knee-high black boots and elbow-length gloves adorned the rest of her figure while a green-white domino mask hid her identity.

"That's the one." Revenge growled.

"Just your type." Sarah muttered.

"What?" Revenge asked.

"Come on," Sarah said, turning to him. "Skimpy clothes, kicks ass, probably extremely girly-girl too. Just like me, Helena, Rose-"

"Don't mention her name!" Revenge growled. "Print out. Background check by the time I get back."

"Sir, yes, sir." Sarah muttered as Revenge walked out.

------------------------------

Sam looked at the picture from the lonely corner of his cafè. The girl was indeed beautiful. And, as Sarah had pointed out to him, she was 'his type'.

Sam suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned the paper over on the table and turned around to see who had touched him.

A tall, teenaged girl was standing behind him. She had a gracious form, steely gray eyes, and a long, blonde ponytail.

"Samuel Grant?" she asked.

"Yes." Sam said. "Would you... Care to sit down?"

"Sure." The girl replied, taking a seat across from the boy billionaire.

There was something about this girl. Something...

Before Sam could finish his thought, the girl spoke.

"What was the picture? Girlfriend?"

Was it just Sam or did she sound envious?

"Homework." Sam lied. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"Coke please." the girl replied.

Sam ordered the drink. The girl took a sip out of her beverage.

"So why seek me out?" Sam asked.

"I hear you're the go-to guy for information." The girl said.

"What about?" Sam asked.

"Your vigilante, Red Revenge." she replied.

"I don't like masked people in spandex. No offense." Sam said.

"None taken." the girl responded cooly.

"I don't believe I caught your name?" Sam said.

"Artemis." the girl replied after a moment of hesitation. "Artemis Crock."

"Nice to meet you Artemis." Sam said, shaking her hand.

Artemis kissed him on the cheek. "You too." she said. "Thanks for the drink."

Sam nodded and Artemis walked across the street and into an alleyway. A blur of yellow and scarlet followed her.

Sam watched as Artemis and Kid Flash argued. Artemis slapped the speedster and stepped into an abandoned theatre. Kid Flash punched the air where Artemis had been standing before and followed her.

"Homework." Sam muttered, picking up the picture again

“Time can’t freeze. It’s never frozen before!” Robin protested
“I’m as confused as you. But one question still remains: why are we still moving?” I asked
“I don’t know” he admitted. I thought back to what we did today that may have set us free from this curse. It’s not like I placed a spell on him or anything. WAIT! MY MAGIC!
“Robin, your belt kept you un paralyzed!” I exclaimed

"We'll help him later, Wally,"

Kid Flash knelt beside the guard, feeling for his pulse. His green eyes squinted towards each other as he tried hiding his fear.
I put my hand on his shoulder. "We'll help him later, Wally. Scarecrow can't be too far now."
He nodded. "Right."
Once again, we ran back out the steps, where Arkham security was posted at every gate. Each guard had a rifle in his hands, and when one of them pointed it at us, I raised my hands.
"Hold your fire!" I yelled, fearless. KF stood behind me, cowering. "Did you see him run out?"
"Oh, he saw me all right," said a voice behind me.
I spun around. To any normal...

Fish out of Water

My name is Tiki. I am a sea nymph and one of the more devious ones at that. I’m always playing pranks on the surface dwellers with the help of my dad. He is a very powerful Ocean master. One day, he assigned me a new task: play with the heart of the one named Wally West to get him distracted from his work as Kid Flash. I agreed readily to the task. I was put through a minor shaping shifting spell so I could change my dark blue skin to that of a tan human. I swam to the surface wearing a one piece swim suit. My naturally Cyan blue hair was now blonde with a blue streak and I had tattoos going...

I hugged Miles tightly.

I groaned, slowly I opened my eyes. It was cold and dark. I was sitting upright, my ankles and wrists were strapped down to the legs and arms of the chair. I felt like one of those creepy detective movies where the detective wakes up in a mysterious place. "Hello?" I said in my singsongy voice. "Anyone here?" The room was dim. I could very faintly make out one thing. The janitor bucket. "I'm in the lab?" I whispered.
Immediately a great sense of alarm rushed through me. Where was the team? I struggled again, this time trying to melt the bars. But nothing came out. "Wha-" I was cut off by a...

"You okay?"

"Erica, look out--never mind."
Conner had stopped me too late; I tripped on something and fell flat on the floor.
"Gotta work on that," I muttered as I rubbed my forehead. It turns out that the thing I tripped on was the Robin from this world. I felt for his pulse; it was beating normally.
"You okay?" My Robin helped me up, and I sighed in relief.
"What did they do to you?" I asked as Megan, Aqualad, and Kid Flash ran up to us.
He shrugged. "They tried to mentally rob me of all my knowledge of our Earth, but something was blocking it."
"That was me." Megan smiled proudly.
"We have no time for...

"They must be doing something to him."

When I opened my eyes, we were in a dark room, chained to the walls. I felt a sense of deja vu as I recalled Darkseid's invasion that happened a few months back.
"Robin?" I called out, hoping for an answer.
Nothing. My nerves circled around me, causing a shortness of breath.
"Erica?" it was Aqualad's voice, not Robin's, but I was still relieved that I wasn't alone.
"Where are we?" Artemis asked. I heard her hands shuffling against the walls.
"They must have imprisoned us," I concluded, pulling at my chains. "Where's Robin?"
KF looked around. "I thought he was right next to me!"
Oh, no. I struggled...

"Com'on Miles!" I almost shouted. I was trying to keep my voice low. If we finally had found them, I didn't want to lower our chances of getting them. "I still don't know why Zero wants us on this mission. I mean, seriously Reese, they're just a bunch of 'powers!" Miles said arrogantly. He was so stupid sometimes. I wanted to burn his head off. I could, very easily, but since he was my partner I would probably get my butt kicked for doing it. "Well," I said annoyingly, "Zero said that these guys are incredibly dangerous. Do you want them to just wander the city hurting people?" Miles sighed....

A sense of alarm ran up her spine. Anna sprinted over to where the team was huddled around. She pushed Kid Flash out of the way. What she saw almost made her faint. Robin was there. And he was unconscious. Miss Martian was kneeling down next to him. "Crap. This is all my fault." Anna said. She knelled down next to Miss Martian. "Can I have some time alone with him?" "Sure." Miss Martian said quietly. They all backed up. Anna started to worry. Robin wasn't responding. She checked his pulse, it was shallow. "Please be okay." Anna mumbled under her breath. Then she noticed what was wrong. There...

Anna woke up in a cold sweat. Another nightmare, she thought. She glanced at the clock, 6 o'clock. She had a good 2 hours before she had to go out. Deciding to search the cave, she put on her tight sweatpants, her gloves just in case she had to use her powers, and a jacket. Anna didn't get why all those big time heroes wore all those fancy spandex and stuff like that, to kick butt, you have to be comfortable, she thought. But first, she had to make one quick call. She picked up her cell phone and dialed to a private number. (ring) (ring) (ring) "Please pick up!" She mumbled under her breath....

"Joker's dead!"

The other Erica frowned at Robin, but didn't say anything. She faked a smile toward me, and took my hand.
"I'm--"
"You're Erica," I interrupted her.
She shook her head. "We may look the same, but we have different names. I'm Evelyn Richards."
She still has my last name, I thought, feeling uncomfortable. Evelyn and the other Robin motioned us into their headquarters.
Inside, it looked exactly like the Hall of Justice. All of the souvenirs from different missions were posted on columns, and a library was placed at the end of the building. We passed many superheroes, who looked like the ones in...

"It was me."

I pushed aside a leafy tree branch, stepping across a clear concrete sidewalk. Gotham City was standing right before me, but I had to remember that we weren't on Earth anymore. The two cities looked so alike, except for one difference.
"No litter?" I realized, glancing at the garbage man who was taking a break on a park bench.
"This is the opposite of Gotham City," Robin said as he came up beside me, tapping his wristwatch computer screen.
"What now?" KF asked as he sped toward us.
Robin looked to the center of the city, where a building with the words "The Wilderness" was printed on it.

"This is the dimensional transporter."

A hollow clanging erupted in my ears, and I realized that we were here: the Bat Cave. I heard a few flapping noises from above me, squeaking as they passed.
Of course there're bats in here, I told myself impatiently. I dared not move, for everything was pitch-black. Knowing Batman, moving a centimeter would destroy a 1,000 year old relic that would've been important to him. I heard a little whirring noise before Batman started talking again.
"Take off your blindfolds."
I ripped mine off, regretting it instantly when a bright yellow light nearly blinded my green eyes. When I squinted, it looked...

I let go of the dolphin and used a small propulsion spell to keep pace with Kalder. We peeked out behind some coral. A lady with long purple hair and a black dress was standing there working a spell. But that’s not what surprised me. What surprised me is that she was with a gorilla.
“Grod. This is not good” Kalder muttered. Grod turned and I pulled Kalder behind the coral.
“Tala. She’s worse” I said.
“Who’s Tala?” Kalder whispered
“She was an apprentice to Felix Faust before he died. Again. She’s extremely skilled, but compared to Faust, she’s an amateur. She’s known...

"Would it have been a waste, saving Nora?"

Freeze looked at me anxiously as I turned off my communicator.
"What did he say?" he asked.
"Mr. Wayne is glad to give a grant for Nora's recovery," I told him. "And all we have to do now is wait for Robin to come back with Nora."
In the past hour, Mr. Freeze had walked around the zoo more than a hundred times. He couldn't sit still, so he had to walk around.
I loosened my ponytail and let my auburn hair fall to my shoulders. I was thinking of getting it cut, but where was the time?
My communicator vibrated in my pocket; I silenced it so Freeze wouldn't jump every time it beeped. I put it to...

I walked down the familiar hallways of the dojo with Tiny and Killer and went into my room. It was just as I had left it. I lit the three candles on my small table, even though it was light in my room.
“Master Night? May I speak to you?” asked a voice from the door. I turned around to find the blonde haired Leah standing at my door.
“Of course Leah” I gestured for her to come in. She timidly came in. I motioned for her to sit. She sat down.
“Master Night, where did you come from?” she asked
“I was in man’s world. I had been exiled for a small amount of time” I explained

I walked to my room and sighed. I would leave to the dojo now. It was about time I made my leave. I packed my small back pack consisting of my extra clothes, weapons and bathing suit. I slipped it on my back and walked out. I saw Batman typing something in on the holo-screen.
“Batman, I am leaving for a while. I must return to my dojo to teach the next generation of students. I will be back when I can. If you ever need help, feel free to call me” I said. I whistled and Tiny and Killer came running. I bent down and scratched under Tiny’s chin.

So, your master’s master is mad at you for it taking your invisibility away?” Wally asked
“No. It’s mad at me for falling in love” I murmured
“You loved me, but it didn’t harm me” Wally pointed out
“No. It harmed me when we broke up” I muttered
“But you were fine with it. You didn’t care we had broken up” Wally tilted his head. I looked away. Robin whispered something in his ear. Wally gasped. He told something to Artemis, and she gasped.
“Night, I-I didn’t know. Honest!” they both said.

I got out of the hospital bed and winced in pain. My ribs still hurt, but my arm was a bit better. In the hall, Question and Huntress were waiting for me.
“Where is everyone?” I asked
“They all went home” Huntress said, getting up.
“Then why are you still here?” I pondered
“The least we could do is give you a ride home” Huntress smiled
“So, how are we getting there?” I asked. They walked out to the parking lot up to a blue vintage looking car.
“This, is how we’re getting you home” Question said, opening the door. I hopped in the back seat, while Huntress and Question got...
