Prologue

The figure smirked, watching. How long had it been since she watched them? Clearly not long enough. Pressing herself against the wall, she eyed them carefully. Everything was... normal, or at least for now. She had a plan. A plan to bring an end to all of this. But the only problem was when to make this plan of her effective. She held her breath someone walked by, opening the window, taking a deep breath.
"Look," the person said, pointing to the surprisingly clear sky. Muttering to herself, she silently jumpped down and took off before she could be discovered.

He held onto her tightly, as they both looked out into the dark blue sky. She smiled slightly, as the silver stars twinkled.
"When was the last time I saw a sky like this?" she murmured.
"Kansas maybe," he chuckled, resting his chin on her shoulders, rocking her side to side. She turned her head slightly, looking into his dark blue eyes. "You miss her don't you?" he asked quietly. She nodded mutely.
"I still don't know why she left..." He tightened his grip on her.
"We'll find her, I promise."
"Dick..." he turned her around, looking intently into her eyes and smiled gently at her.
"She's still out there though. And we will find her." he vowed, before kissing her gently on the lips.

"Who are you?!" she demanded, finding herself surrounded.
"A friend," a familiar voice slurred. "My offer still stands."
"I work alone," she snarled, "What makes you think I'll work with you?"
"An offer you can't refuse."
