Chapter 1: RedFeather

Sunrise looked around from the top of a large building. The stars shone brightly above her head, and the harsh wind blew her dark red hair behind her. In her mind, she shape shifted into a barn owl, and listened. She heard the running footsteps of the enemy, just around the corner of the next building. She smiled, and spread her red-ish orange hawk wings. Using the wind as an alliance, she flew around the corner and landed in the shadows, just in front of the frightened man. He jumped back, only to find that he was cornered. He was breathing hard, for he had been running from RedFeather for a while now.

"What do you want with me?!" He asked. Though he couldn't see red feather, he knew exactly what she looked like. Dark red hair, green eyes, and wings…Hawk wings!

"I want you to return the jewelry you just stole." RedFeather answered.

"Why? It doesn't belong to you anyway!"

That's when RedFeather got mad. She stepped into the light.

"Do you know how long I've been chasing you?! Do you even know how HARD it is to be chasing a villain AGAINST the WIND?! No you don't because YOU can NOT fly! Now, RETURN THE JEWELRY!" now RedFeather was grabbing the man's shirt, and shaking him, and now the robber was VERY scared of her.

"Fine. Fine! Take the jewelry, but don't call the cops a'ight. Here you go." With that, Redfeather put the man down. She gave a last punch, which knocked him out. Then, she pulled out her cell phone and called the cops.

"Sweet dreams." She murmured under her breath, after the call. Then she flew off.

Redfeather was what they called a 'rogue hero'. She had run away from the justice league, when she was 14, knowing that she would never be able to get along with a team. She was 16 now, and had learned a lot more than her parents could ever kept flying on. She had heard of another hero, Speedy, who had done the same. She didn't know much about where the young hero had gone, or who he was now, but she still looked up to him. She didn't have time for a team, and never wanted the time for one. She did, however, love saving people and taking bad guys down.. She finally got to her house, which was a small apartment. One bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room and kitchen area. She made a light landing on her patio(she was on the highest floor for a reason.) Sunrise let her wings disappear into her body. She could do that, for some reason, even though her father, Hawkman , was not able to. She got the shape shifting in her mind ability from her mother, Vixen. And it came in handy quite often. Her wings, in the winter turned white, and she could turn them black at night for stealth, however, she hadn't tonight, because she was in a red mood. In the winter, she called herself snowfeather, and at night she would sometimes have fun by calling herself Blackfeather. She loved the names she gave herself, and hated the ones her father and mother had given to her. They called her Hawkgirl. Nothing more original then that, right? Sunrise exaggerated in her mind. Then she realized that she was thinking about her past... Again. She face palmed.

"Stop it, Redfeather ." She told her self "Your past is just as bad as anyone's could get. you're bringing your self esteem down. Your parents never cared anyway." Sunrise had taken a half gallon of chocolate Ice cream out of the fridge, and sat on the couch. The ice cream was on her lap, she was eating with her right hand, and flipping channels with her left. Then she remembered her job tomorrow. She worked at a small Copy Print down the street. Nothing worse than a copy shop. She told herself,but at least it pays the electric bill.With that she put the ice cream back and headed to bed.
