Ruby Rose... She's a young huntress in training, and so she always believes in helping others.
Chapter one: Earth?
Ruby pov
I woke up my head spinning, as I looked around I realized I was falling trough the clouds.
"Oh SHIT!" I reached around behind me and pulled out Crescent Rose as I shot out the bottom of the cloud. I saw a city below me. Larger then any on Remnant.
I hooked my scythe into the stone side of one and slowly decelerated. and hung there by one arm. Only then did I realize that I had a small duffle bag strapped to me.
"HELP!" I yelled. "I'M STUCK!"
I waited for few minutes while looking around and that's when the entire building shook. "Oh no." I looked down at streets as explosions went off. I wrenched out Crescent Rose and fell to the ground. I landed with a heavy thud. I put away my weapon.
"Ow ow." I looked around me. I ran to the nearest car and pulled out the small child that was trapped in the back, their parents were killed by shrapnel.
"MAMA! DADA!" she cried. I ran as fast as I could noticing a police blockade.
"DON'T SHOT!" I flashed into a storm of petals and reappeared in the center of the crowd behind it. The police chief approached me.
"Where is my niece's parents?" he asked tears in his eyes already knowing the answer.
"Killed by shrapnel, whats happening?" I asked.
"Wonder Woman is fighting a villain, she has it handled." he answered as I handed him the crying child.
"Uncle Henry?" she asked.
"Who is Wonder Woman?" I asked.
"How do you not know who Wonder Woman is? She's known all over Earth."
"Earth? Uh oh..."
"What do you mean Uh oh?" he asked.
At that moment a scantily clad woman flew past us crashing into a police cruiser.
"Wonder Woman! Your weak!" A boy floated over, black lightning sparking off of him and his cat. "Teekl what should we do?"
I wasted little time firing a shot between his eyes. The ice round encased his head in a solid mass. He didn't seem to notice.
As the woman extracted herself from the wreckage of the car I attacked with my scythe my attacks doing little more then distracting the cat.
The ice shattered when 'Wonder Woman' uppercut him forcing him to drop his cat.
"You should clear out of here!" She yelled to the crowd and ass they ran and drew the boy's eyes I grew frustrated that he was ignoring me.
"You can run all you like but Urk!" with the force of the high powered rounds I had driven the back hook right between his legs.
"Nice hit." I got a good look at her, who would wear that in combat, she looked ready to go to the beach. And the stars, all of the colors need work. The boots made it even worse.
"You little..." Wonder woman cut him off when her kick caught him in the throat.
"Klarion the league is coming, surrender." she threatened.
"Fine, I surrender" He disappeared in... a portal?
"Well what to do with you?" She turned to me.
I stood there and looked as innocent as possible with my weapon.
"From the petals you were emitting I'm guessing you have powers?" She asked.
"Maybe..." I disappeared in a flash of petals. and reappeared out of arms reach.
"Okay, whats the story?"
"I remember an explosion in Vale then I was falling trough the clouds."
"Vale?" she asked.
"I think I may have left my own universe, because there are no faunas here, but there are humans, I don't feel any aura's and there was no way that boy was human." I pointed out. "That and the fact that you don't recognize one of the four main kingdoms."
"Great." She held her head.
A few months later I stood outside the Hall of Justice, in the time I had been here had become Wonder Woman's student. I would train with her, I lived with her. Diana was nice... er then Weiss. I had taken the name Red Reaptress.
And I caused a controversy with the fact that I use bullets. I had to prove they were non lethal... with the non lethal rounds I had... I still had lethal rounds for monsters.
As we waited for the other hero's and their students. I didn't like the cloth scarf I had to wear, it covered mouth and nose though the black silk did go nicely with the rest of my clothes.
"Why do I have to cover my face and you don't?" I asked.
"Because your still a child."
"No one but you knows who I am." I countered.
"Look you will be enrolling in school here."
"School, and why didn't you tell me?" I asked
"Because... fine you got me." she conceded.
In pairs the others arrived. First Batman and Robin, next was Green Arrow and Speedy. Then came Aquaman and his student Aqualad Real original. I thought, but he was cute, if a bit fishy.
Next was Flash and Kid Flash, "I told you we would be late." the yellow speedster sounded upset.
We walked through the paparazzi, I wasn't to thrilled with the attention.
"That's Wonder Woman's sidekick, Red Reaptress."
"She's so cute with those eye's."
"You think she's an amazon like Wonder Woman?"
"She's tiny."
"There's Robin, and Speedy, Flashes sidekick."
"Speedy is Green arrow's partner."
"That makes no sense."
The others chatted among each other like old friends. Inside the hall were massive statues of the founding members of the league.
A security door opened and we greeted by Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado. "Welcome sidekicks to the Hall of Justice." the android welcomed us.
Past the door was a large library, Manhunter was explaining how we had access to everything the hall had to offer.
"So your the Red Reaptress, honestly I thought you were a little shorter." I jumped when Robin put his hand on my shoulder.
"Hey don't just do that." I turned to the other side kicks.
"Sorry, we haven't met yet, I'm Robin, he's KF. Those two are Speedy and Aqualad."
"I know about you. I've seen the news and all of the good you have done." I shook his hand.
"To be honest you were a surprise when you started teaming with Wonder Woman." Kid Flash held out his had, which had a orange cheese dust on it. I shook it and wiped it off quickly.
"Yeah 'Girl in red slams scythe into supervillains crotch' was not the headline we expected." Aqualad continued.
"So what's your story?" Speedy asked.
"Well it complicated, I think I may have slipped between universes." I answered.
"Well that is complicated." Aqualad placed his hand on my shoulder and I was suddenly glad for the scarf hiding my blush.
Speedy then had a fight with the league. Something about this being a front for tourists, "... The real HQ is a orbiting satellite." that caught my attention.
Batman and Green Arrow had a quick whispered conversation.
"Look son the League have made their decision, and I'm only one member." Green arrow tried to calm his partner, but speedy stormed off
The central came on with the image of Superman, "Attention league, there has been a fire at Cadmus labs."
"Cadmus, I've had my suspicions of the genetics lab for months now." Batman accessed a few files before a man in a top hat appeared in another video call.
"I require the power of the full League, Wotan is blotting out the sun" Zatara informed the Leaguers.
"The local first responders have the fire under control." Superman told them before signing off.
"You four stay here." Batman ordered. And the big time heroes stepped trough the Zeta tube.
We sat in silence, until Kid flash couldn't contain himself. "They keep treating us like kids, worse sidekicks."
"I've been doing this for years, and batman still doesn't trust me. What do I have to do?" Robin asked himself.
"They don't trust us with the basics, they have a secret base in space." Kid flash yelled.
"My king, my teacher, what else is he hiding?"
"Why didn't we leave with Speedy?" Robin asked the group.
"Hey Red, whats your view on this?" Kid flash asked me.
"I'm so new to all of this, I'm not even sure why Wonder Woman brought me. But... I do feel a little betrayed." I stood up. "But I know from experience that those in charge are impressed with a willingness to act. If we do something with out them that saves people they will have to respect us some more."
"Cadmus, Batman is suspicious Cadmus, is we figure out whats happening there..." Kid Flash started.
"Take initiative and solve the case before them, and they will have to respect us." Robin finished.
"It will be poetic justice," Aqualad reasoned.
"So what is Cadmus?" I asked.
"I can find that out." Robin went over to the massive computer. "I just need to access the systems files and..."
"Access denied." The computer announced.
What we did next was the first of many mistakes that would lead us down a path of... well I can't just tell you can I?
Well, I do believe that took long enough.
