And Everything Was As It Should Be
Warnings: Violence, character death, just generally depressing stuff

AN: Hello, readers! I'm sorry for the extremely lengthy gap between stories, but I am back in action and hoping to post a lot more stories of various fandoms. Let this one act as an apology.
Valerie Gray, or the Red Huntress as some call her, aimed her weapon at the spook known as Phantom. She had been chasing him since about one a.m. and, since it was about four, both were clearly suffering for it. Phantom could barely fly straight and her vision was starting to blur around the edges, but no matter, she could still hunt. With a grin she pulled the trigger, sending a glowing net towards his tail and, in a stroke of luck, it actually hit!
Valerie felt her grin stretch wider as she soared towards her felled quarry. She looked on impassively as Phantom struggled, and readied another weapon. With hardly a moment's thought of how she actually caught him, she finally did it, she sent a blast of pink energy right at his smug face. He was barely able to look at her before he was incinerated, but she felt a hint of smug satisfaction at his shocked and terrified expression. It was over in a moment though. As Valerie swooped down over the char mark of her first and greatest foe, the one who made her become the Red Huntress, she honestly didn't feel much, only a sense of pride and satisfaction.
She looked at the clock in her visor and startled. Four o' clock already! She revved up her hoverboard and zoomed home. Mr. Lancer had said there was going to be a test on some Shakespeare play, Caesar or something, next class, and she would need to be rested for it.
As she crawled in her window, deactivating her suit and falling into bed fully clothed, she decided she would celebrate tomorrow. Maybe she would ask Danny on a date to the Nasty Burger. He was cute and nice, if a bit clueless, and they would have worked out great last time if it wasn't for those damn ghosts! Now that she had defeated Phantom, Valerie thought as she slipped into sleep, they could be together again, and nothing would get in their way this time.
