A/N: Yes, this is a Rorschach/OC fanfiction. No, it's NOT a RorschachxOC fanfiction. My personal belief is that it's not possible. XD Anyways, I'm not a very good writer at all so suggestions are welcome, and tell me if i veer into the dark waters of Mary Sue-dom. I just like writing OC characters, it's a fun thing to put your brain into a character you've made, and try to survive in the world of Watchmen. And also, this takes place in the span of time before the Keene Act and the actual Watchmen plot. This fanfiction is a result of boredom at school as well. Anyways, here we go!

Abby Haven reached up, tugging a black, handmade mask over her eyes. Wriggling her toes inside well-worn, dirty combat boots, she grinned, adrenaline coursing through her veins, a result of the crisp night air on her face. She checked her watch.

"Oh, time to start." she said softly.

Still grinning faintly, Abby shimmied down the side of the fire escape, dropping clumsily to the ground. Landing in an awkward crouch, she slowly stood up, stretching.

Walking quickly, she began her nightly "patrol", along what she called Route Seven. She soon stumbled across a group of men, who had managed to corner a boy down an alleyway, and were closing in.

Must've looked at them the wrong way... Abby thought grimly.

Taking a deep breath, she prepared to yell in the loudest voice she could muster.

"OI, DICKS".

The group turned slowly, confused, leaving the whimpering boy huddled up against a wall. Their eyes soon fell upon a colorfully dressed female figure at the alley's opening. Abby's eyes fell on the crying boy, and she winked, mouthing the word "run".

"Catch me, if you can!" she taunted, throwing rocks in their direction.

Abby smiled as she felt the first tingle of exhilaration, the thrill of a chase about to begin. The men started lumbering towards her, and the boy slipped past them quickly, disappearing into the shadows. Abby shot them a fleeting grin, then raced into the maze of alleyways, a flash of flourescent colors.

In a futile attempt to shake them off, Abby took as many confusing twists and turns as possible, winding her way deep into the mess of streets and sidewalks.

"Oh shit..." she cursed, feeling her lungs beginning to give in, asthma slowing her down. Abby could still hear her pursuers about a half a block behind, catcalling and whistling.

Shit, shit, SHIT! her brain cried frantically, cursing in time with her faltering footsteps. Wheezing loudly, Abby turned another corner, then yelped as she collided bodily with a tall man in a trenchcoat.

"Well damn," she muttered, voice shaking, "they had backup." She tried to push past them, panic showing on her face as a hand gripped her shoulder, spinning her back to face the two men. Abby flinched and raised her arms, waiting for a punch to the face.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, we're not going to hurt you." a soft male voice said calmly. Lowering her hands warily, she blinked. Her eyes widened as she stammered haltingly.

"S-s-sorry." The man smiled, shaking his head.

"It's fine, no need to apologize." he said, still smiling. Abby blinked as the men's appearances finally clicked. She'd just collided with Rorschach and Nite Owl II, her idols, and main inspiration for sneaking out every night to patrol the city.

Smooth one, dumbass her brain snarled. Abby just stood there, mouth agape, while her brain continued to yammer, trying to make her do something, do ANYTHING. Now unconcerned with the quickly approaching danger at her back, Abby smiled nervously.

"Oh, oh w-wow, you guys a-are Ror-Rorschach and N-n-nite Owl, aren't you?" she breathed, a huge grin lighting up her face.

Nite Owl smiled as well, and Rorschach ducked his head for a second, then refocused on something behind her. Abby was startled out of her gleeful haze by Rorschach, who grabbed Abby's hand, tugging her quickly behind them. Abby tripped, clumsy as ever, and managed to skin her knee.

"Ouch" she sighed, rubbing the injured knee. Nite Owl and Rorschach stood in front of her, protecting her from the approaching gang. Abby stumbled back to her feet, pain forgotten.

"Run, now" Rorschach growled, and Abby just blinked, then smirked, shaking her head.

Ha ha, fat FUCKING chance.
