Nightingale-Chapter 0
Author-Preface
Breath in.
Breath out.
Breath in...
She pushed down on the trigger, and a loud "BANG!" came out. A window shattered. The woman she had aimed at dropped to her knees. A scream came from the man the woman was having dinner with. He rushed over to the woman, as she dropped down further. He held her as she died, tears streaming down his face.
Nightingale let a tiny smirk play across her face. 'God, these people are so emotional' She thought. The mission had been a success.
Nightingale had shot the woman from a rooftop across the street. She backed up a few feet, away from the edge, and pulled out her cellphone. She put her gun on the ground. Pressing the "on" button, she waited for the phone to lite up.
"DROID" The red screen lit up, Nightingale went through her contacts, and located "Boss". She pressed call.
"..."
"..."
"...Hello?"
"The mission was a success."
"Good job. Your money will be at the usual place."
"The whole thousand?"
"Of course. And, I have another mission for you."
"Hmm?"
"You have worked for me for a long time, and haven't failed yet." Nightingale laughed lightly, knowing what this meant.
"Someone tough? Hard security?"
"Bruce Wayne."
'Aw...Shit." She thought, and covered her forehead with her hand.
"Bruce Wayne?"
"Yes. Or..."
"Or?"
"If you..see him around...Batman."
'Well, someone knows his secret...Damn it! This is just...UGH! I can't believe things turned out like this!" Nightingale clenched her fist, and scowled.
"So, either Bruce or Batman?"
"Yes, it seems that Bruce Wayne is actually.."
'Don't say it!"
"Batman."
"Really?!" She tried to sound surprised, although she knew this already.
"Yes, and somebody wants him dead, so, as always, don't fail."
"But, he's Batman!" She tried to talk him out of giving her the job. She really didn't feel like getting a new boss...again.
"Are you saying that one of my best assassins can't kill someone?"
"Yes! I mean no, but-"
"Do you want the job or not?!" He yelled into the phone.
'Whatever! He's been irritating me for weeks now. I don't even care!"She thought words that she would regret later.
"Not!"
"Then, YOUR FIRED!" The call ended.
'Another boss lost because of him.' Nightingale gritted her teeth; anger rising in her. She kicked the gun on the ground a few feet away.
...
Nightingale was at her house, located in Gotham. She had calmed down a lot, and was wearing her rural outfit.
Her raven black hair was gathered into a braid, going down her back, and ending at her stomach.
Her blue eyes were covered by dark black shades. She never liked people to see her eyes. She wanted her emotions to be hidden. That's why her assassin outfit had a mask.
She wore a black leather jacket, with a grey shirt underneath, black jeans, and black boots. ( A.N./ As you might guess, black is her favorite color...XD)
Right now, she was Ellie Smith, one of her many aliases. In Gotham, there were MANY, MANY crime bosses, many assassin bosses, and many lone villains. Batman was the only hero. Robin had been there...But then he went to Jump City, and became the leader of the Teen Titans.
Nightingale turned on her phone again, and went through the contacts untill she found "R".
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Hello? This is Robin. Who am I speaking to?"
"It's N." A gasp was heard at the other end, and the sound of Robin running into his room.
"Hey! Why are you calling? Are you coming to visit?!" He sounded excited, and hopeful.
"No, I'm just giving you a tip: Someone knows the Bat's identity. Give him a heads up for me, okay?"
"...Ya...Sure..It's nice to hear from you."
"Ya, It's been a while."
"...Are you coming to Jump City soon?"
"I don't think so. I have to find another boss-"
"Because you wouldn't take the job to kill B."
"Yep."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...So, I'm going now. Bye-"
"Wait!"
"Hmm?"
"..I-It was nice to hear from you, sis."
"You too, bro."
