Just a little author's note here :D This story has nothing to do with my previous fanfic. My OC is in this fanfic, but this is her original form, I guess you would call it. Anyways enjoy! Also I would love to get a critique, comment, or review on this :D
"Our target is in there." Cheshire pointed at the Wayne Biotech lab. I looked down at the dark building. The entire building seemed like a dungeon tower with only one small spot of light glimmering from one of the windows.
"Let's get this over with. Mistress Talia is waiting for our report," I pulled up my mask, covering part of my face, and smirked. "We don't want to keep her waiting do we?" I zipped down towards the small lit window with Cheshire following after me.
We crashed through the glass window, knocking down some microscopes and petri dishes along the way. The two scientists were pushed back into the back cabinets and fell to the floor. Papers with odd figures and equations were scattered across the room along with some samples of the Lazarus pit on the table. We wiped off the shattered glass and debri that was scattered across out costumes. Cheshire grinned as she walked past me towards the scientist.
"Shall I do the killing this time, Arachnid?" Cheshire pulled out her Sais. I stepped in front of her.
"I'll take care of the dirty work. Our main goal is to get rid of all the research papers that pertain to the Lazarus Pit," Cheshire let out a disappointed sigh and began gathering all the papers. I turned around and saw that the scientists were gone. "Brave little flies…"
I ran out the door and down the hallway. Where could they have gone? If they want even a chance of escape they'll head to the first floor. Heh, let's lay a trap for these little flies. I broke one of the windows and tied my grappling hook to the frame. I jumped out the window and nose-dived towards the cold unwelcoming cement.. Hopefully this rope is long enough… I was about 5ft above the ground when I unhooked the rope. I walked into the lobby and waited for my prey to come.
I could hear their footsteps as they exited the stairwell. "Well hello again," I grinned. They stepped back and turned around to head towards the staircase again. "Ah, I wouldn't do that if I were you. My web is very sharp," My thin deadly thread gleamed under the moonlight. "Wrong step and you might get cut." I ran my thumb across my throat.
"You're not gonna win…" The dark haired scientist stared back at me. I saw no fear in his eyes and his expression was stern, perhaps even determined.
"It's sad that a young girl like you would be working with the League of Assassins…" The blonde female scientist looked at me with pity. I angrily grabbed my kunai from my holder and yanked it. The strings that surrounded the room now wrapped up the scientist.
"I don't need your pity." I growled. How dare they look down on me!? An assassin of Ra's al Ghul! I looked at them and prepared to yank my kunai one last time slicing them into pieces, but I couldn't. Their bravery intrigued me and they seemed somewhat familiar to me. What am I waiting for!? I'm supposed to kill them! Why am I hesitating!?
"What are you waiting for?" The man looked at me with his pity filled eyes. I yanked the kunai one more time and their warm life liquid splattered across the room. I wiped the red, irony substance from my face and spat out of disgust. Who are they to pity a pupil of Ra's al Ghul...
I clenched my fist for a moment as I walked past the bloody limbs of my prey. Why do I feel numb? Like a piece of me was lost. Why did those insignificant flies have such an impact on me? When I returned to Cheshire, she was burning the last piece of research with a Bunsen burner. I walked towards her when I noticed a framed picture resting on top of a small cabinet.
"You took longer than I thought," Cheshire came towards me. "You missed a spot," She licked her thumb and wiped off the specks of blood on my cheek. "Well let's go. The Master and Mistress are waiting to hear our success," She turned around and headed towards the window.
I stared at the photo intently. It was a picture of the two scientists. It's seems that they were married and had a child together. They seemed so happy… I grabbed the frame and took the photo out. "Are you coming, Arachnid?" Cheshire waited for me impatiently.
"I'm coming…" I mumbled and put the photo in my pocket. I followed Cheshire out the window when I saw two people standing outside the building. A man in a black outfit with pointed ears and a boy with bright red tights along with a black cape. Odd, I thought Halloween wasn't till next year…
When we arrived back home, Cheshire went to report the success of our mission to Master al Ghul and I went back to my room. The small box-like room accepted me with a cold welcome. The small window allowed the cool moonlight to rest upon my metal-framed, single bed. I let out a sigh as laid down on my bed staring at the blank ceiling. Why do those scientist keep popping back into my head? I rolled over in bed and grabbed the picture from my pocket. Why do they seem so familiar? Perhaps Mistress Talia can help me? I left my room and heard voices in the training room.
"Wasn't that a tad cruel?" I heard Mistress Talia's voice. I wonder whom she is talking to? "Making her kill her own parents like that?" Who killed whose parents?
"Now Talia, she doesn't know this and she doesn't need to know this. We are her family now ever since we took her 14 years ago. Arachnid belongs to us." Master al Ghul's voice replied. W-what? I killed…. No, no, I'm the assassin of Ra's al Ghul….no…. I busted through the door, confused and angry.
"What are you talking about? You're lying right?" The look in my eyes pleaded that what Mistress Talia was saying was no more than a lie, a ruse. Mast al Ghul smiled.
"Of course it's a lie. You're family is here." He's lying. The voice in the back of my head screamed. I gripped onto my head tightly. N-no! Why would Master Ra's al Ghul lie to me!? He's been like a father to me!? B-but then why was this kill so different...why…
"You're lying…" I growled. Master al Ghul's smile turned into a cold distant look. He snapped his fingers and four other assassins appeared.
"I guess this charade is over," He began to walk away with Mistress Talia following him. H-he used me! H-he..."You four, kill her." He said as he disappeared into the shadows. He betrayed me! My family, my life, it was all a freakin lie!
Scorching, angry tears trailed down my face. "Like I'll die that easily!" I pounced at the four assassins. Blood was the only thing I saw or smelled. My web sliced my opponents to pieces, leaving behind dismembered body parts. Everything seemed like a blur of red and screams. Screams of betrayal, pain, and agony.
I panted. I fell to my knees in a pool of blood and body parts. I pulled out the photo from my pocket as tears began to build up in my eyes. My tears mixed with the blood of my enemies. The happy photo of my parents that I murdered was now stained with the blood of my former comrades….
