Two months. TWO MONTHS. Red pulled her hair back into a high ponytail, slipping on a silk red shirt with a plunging V-neck line and a pair of dark blue skinny jeans that hugged her curves JUST right. Then she stepped into a good pair of black flats. Her ivory skin clashed against her black hair, and her fierce golden pupils where almost hidden beneath her feather-duster eyelashes.
Two months. Two months since she had gone into hiding.
Two months since she had enrolled as an orphan into North Gotham High School, also known as NGHS, or North High.
Two months she had been planning revenge. Against her two newest enemies. Batman… and the Rogues.
Her name was supposed to be 'Rouge Henderson'; Rouge in French means Red. Little Red was pretty proud of herself for knowing that little tidbit.
She peered outside of the fancy mansion that she had… 'Acquired', then turned back to her dusty mirror. She only felt a slight pang of pity at the thought of the friendly old woman who owned the place. Well, she was dead now. No need to feel sorrow for those destroyed by us.
With a deep red lipstick she made her lips a full, royal red. Then, slowly, she turned to her bed.
A red dress with black dots and a long, red hood lay folded neatly on the bed spread. Her heels where in the closet.
A horn honked outside, and she whipped around. Putting in two red ruby studs in her ears, she headed out the door.
In an old, slightly rusted black car a boy with slightly ruffled black hair and bright blue eyes looked around slightly impatiently.
Tim Drake frowned into the rear view mirror. "C'mon Rouge!" he called once he caught sight of her, and waved to the passenger seat.
Rouge slipped into the seat with a slight frown. This was Tim Drake, her 'friend'. Granted, he was pushy most of the time and boyish and slightly annoying… but she didn't feel the constant need to stab him and rip out his eyes like with most of those other idiotic school children. "Calm down." She rolled her fierce golden eyes.
"All IM saying is that if I am late to Ms. Jenkins's class again because you are applying 'lipstick', I will be so mad I will-"
"What are you going to do this time?" she asked. He did this every day. Old news.
Tim went silent and she once again sighed. "Fine." He snapped. "Just… let's get going."
"Are we still trying to beat the record?"
"When ARENT we?" and he floored the gas- but the thought of how MAD Batman would be if he found out Robin was speeding bit at him a little too harshly.
Yes, Red is alive and hiding… and waiting for revenge on her enemies. I'm sure she didn't expect to become 'friends' with the sidekick of her enemy, huh? Come back for more- because you WILL be hungry for it.
