Prologue

Summary: A new player has entered the eternal battle between the dark and the light. But this is one is different. He's a weapon, a fighter, and a damn good hunter. His next prey, a Kryptonian.

(A/N: Blood, swearing, sexual content, teenagers etc. Enjoy)

Batman glared through the two way mirror at a young man sitting in a metal chair in handcuffs. The innocent smile plastered on his face irritated the Dark Knight. Also the dried blood on his hands and horrifyingly, his mouth. It reminded him too much of his clown themed enemy. But he was different. His body language seemed...relaxed. But why?

Xeno stared at his clasped fingers through his sunglasses as he began to frown. He then proceeded to ruffle his spiky short and black hair. He was beginning grow impatient of sitting in only his trousers. It was humiliating enough that he was caught during one of his hunts, but this was just embarrassing.

Xeno subconsciously brushes his finger across the tattoo on his right cheek and smiled fondly. That mark proved that he was a hunter, and he was proud that he earned it. Especially when it came from the one he hated the most. His nose then caught a whiff of something.

'Solar radiation? This close?'

He tapped on the side of his glasses and "saw" the source of the smell. His smile broadened, showing off his sharp canines.

Batman's senses warned him that something wasn't right when Xeno's smile widened. But before he could do anything, the Man of Steel entered through the door behind him followed by Green Lantern: Hal Jordan.

"We came as soon as we could, Batman" Superman greeted. Green Lantern looked through the mirror and scoffs.

"The kid looks weak"

"He admitted he killed 25 people. We found twelve of them scattered in the sewer"

"Son of a bitch"

Superman did a one over look at him. His physique was in great shape, however there were many scars on his torso and arms.

"He's human, but...his physiology exceeds any human who doesn't have an active meta gene. The scars on his body suggests that he was tested on. Without permission I assume"

"Human scientists?" Batman asked. The Man of Steel shrugs his shoulders, "Could be. However, the radiation around him makes it safe to assume he's been in space"

"Can you tell how long he's been on Earth?" Batman asks as he stared at the now frowning face of the young man.

"Maybe two or three months"

"That tattoo on his face" Green Lantern spoke up, "I've seen it before." He holds up his ring and show an image of the mark up close, "it's a symbol. One of a race of hunters that put even the Manhunters to shame"

"Hunters?" Batman asks.

"There's only so little I can tell you. They don't look like humans, that's for sure. Their very prideful, only fighting and hunting the rarest of the rare. They go from planet to planet, learning and adapting. Growing stronger, faster and deadlier"

"Then what's he doing here?"

"Maybe he was taken from here? And found a way to escape?"

"Why don't we ask him?"

"We tried" Batman says.

"And?"

"He bit off three different cops' fingers"

Batman suddenly realized something. He turned around and asked, "He hunts the rarest, right?"

"Right" Green Lantern confirmed.

"What's the rarest creature on this planet?" Batman asked as he turned around. He wasn't surprised when he saw the sharp canines of Xeno.

"Kryptonian" Xeno says, "I know you're here. And I'm not leaving without your head on wall!"

He then proceeds to break out of his cuffs, with a simple tug. He rears his fist back and a sharp black blade jutted out of his middle knuckles. He stabs through the mirror breaking it into pieces.

Batman backs out the way while Green Lantern and Superman protect their faces. Xeno jumps at Superman and slashes at his chest, surprisingly cutting through his suit and him. He then proceeded to groans in pain as he felt the cut burn him.

Green Lantern shoots him with a blast of will power, sending him flying through the building.

Xeno fell 21 feet from the air and crashed on a car, completely destroying the roof and it's mirrors. But that barely phased him as he gets right back up and dusts himself off.

"That didn't go as planned. Never expected a Lantern" he looks at his bone claw and saw that it was chipped significantly, his acidic blood mixed with red still dripping from it.

"Or the hide to be that thick. Gonna need to do some more research on weaknesses" he mutters to himself as the blade returned to its original form and sliding back into his knuckles.

He hears a woosh and looks up to see the three heroes on top of him. With a curse he makes a break down the busy street.

Batman, inside a bubble with Green Lantern followed after him with Superman not too far behind. All though he was flying a lot slower than normal.

"You alright Superman?" Hal asks, slowing down slightly. The Man of Steel groans, "I'll be fine, that wound just did more damage then I thought. Just go on without me, I'll be alright"

With a nod, the two heroes fly after the hunter.

Xeno was currently running at well over 45 miles an hour, zooming past cars that were in his way. Still in just his trousers.

With a curse he stopped in front of an open mall, and runs inside. Hoping to accomplish two things.

Karen Starr sat in the waiting room, bored out of her mind. She was waiting for her best friend, Helena Bertinelli to finally pick an outfit after a whole day of shopping.

And was starting to get irritated. And hungry.

"Helen, if you're not out of there in the next five minutes" Karen began, her eyes turning slightly red, "I swear, you're buying me lunch"

"I already was" Helena supplies, not even phased by the threat, "and I'm almost done. You know how hard it is to pick a dress when you have a small budget?"

"I don't remember $3,000 being a small budget anywhere!"

With a sigh, Helena says "Alright fine, I've got a few dresses that'll satisfy me. For now"

Karen scoffs and begins to make her way to the food court, "Meet me at the food court"

"If there's any food left that is" Helena mutters.

"I heard that"

"I know"

"...spoiled brat"

"Cow chest"

"Bitch"

"Love you too"

Karen smiles and exits the store, adjusting her black leather jacket. But before she reached the escalator, her ears were greeted by the sound of screams nearby.

"God, I hate having super hearing" Karen groans before taking off towards the screams. When she arrived, she saw a half naked man taking down several security guards at once.

But she could tell he was holding back. She smirked and crossed her arms, seeing how this will play out.

Xeno sent another kick to a security guard's chest, sending him flying through a window. He then blocks hit from another with his forearm before breaking his nose with a bone crushing right cross.

He then performed a spinning jump kick, turning at a full 360 degrees before slamming his right shin on the guard's collarbone, shattering it.

Landing on his feet, he turned to face the remaining guard. But before he could do anything, he caught a whiff of solar radiation.

'They found me?' He looked around, only to find no colored themed superheroes. No...there's another Kryptonian. Female, but there's something else'

The security guard, taking advantage of Xeno's dropped guard, takes out his taser and shoots it. But due to him shaking in fear, the guard accidentally knocking the young man's sunglasses off of his face and shocking his temple.

He growls in pain backing away slightly. He glares at the guard, his eyes were reptilian slit grey but somewhat lifeless.

With a growl, Xeno charges and jumps on top of the guard, knocking him to the ground. Rearing his fist back, he brings out his acidic bone claw ready to stab the guard.

Karen was about to step in, however Xeno stopped himself. He retracted the blade back and his reptilian eyes turned into normal pupils before becoming fully lifeless.

With a sigh he gets off the scared security guard. He then proceeds to tighten the the belt on his grey cargo pants.

As he turned to leave, he looked directly at Karen and winks at her. Karen raises an eyebrow at him before looking away, brushing a strand of hair away. She suddenly realized what she was doing and looks back at him, only to find that he's gone.

Using her X-ray, she saw that he had ran through the food court and into the parking lot. She follows after him, changing into her super suit.

Xeno runs out the mall, panting slightly. Smiling, he makes his way to a nearby manhole and lifts the cover. The back of his head suddenly tingles, and out of instinct he turns around and lifts the manhole in front of him.

He blocks an oncoming blast of heat vision before turning out of the way and throwing it at the source. Power Girl catches the heated manhole with ease.

"Not bad" she says with a smile, "for a blind man"

"You know, I'd like to see you Kryptonians act all high and mighty and cocky without that yellow sun. Let's see how that ends with this 'blind man'"

Power Girl charges at Xeno at full speed. He dodges, letting her smash her fist in the spot he was once at.

"How did you know I was Kryptonian?" She asked, her red cape flowing.

"You reek of solar radiation. Addicting. But a dead give away" Xeno jumps at her, launching a flurry of punches and kicks. But she dodges them all with ease.

"At this rate, I think I can handle you with no powers" the Girl of Steel smirks as she blocks a left roundhouse kick.

Xeno simply smirks back. Then suddenly, another bone blade jutted out of him. But this time, out of his left foot, leaving a small cut on Power Girl's face

She cries out in pain, feeling the acid burn her faces, "What the hell?!"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine in less than an hour" Xeno says as he retracted the blade and palm strikes her in the gut, sending her flying.

"I personally don't like using dirty tactics in a fight. Especially on a beautiful woman, but when hunted by another Kryptonian, a Green Lantern, and a man in a bat suit, I need win. With every hook by crook"

He cups her cheek and kisses it lightly, taking some of the acid away. Karen blushes before replying in strain, "S-same here"

Xeno's skull tingled and he quickly turned around and caught two arrows shot at him.

They then explode, knocking him back into the sewer. Huntress runs up to her friend and helps her up, "You OK?"

"Fine, I'll live. My pride however..." Power Girl started, but was quickly cut off as three League members fly up to them. The Man of Steel saw a cut on his parallel cousin's face and asks, "Are you alright? Did you run into-"

"Half naked guy? Where tattoo on his face? Blind? You just missed him" Huntress replies. Batman sighs, "This is now a League issue. Alert all members to be on a look out for this..."Hunter""

With a nod, Green Lantern took off into space, leaving the four alone. Batman calls the Bat Mobile and says, "I'm going to do more research on him. Clark, I need you to look for more information on the symbol"

Clark nods before turning to the women in similar costumes, "Stay safe. He's hunting after Kryptonians"

And with that, the two Leaguers left, leaving Power Girl and Huntress alone.

"So...he's your boyfriend now?"

"Helena!"

Xeno exits a manhole outside the city with a grunt. He stretches his body before making his way towards his "camp site". Which is a cloaked ship.

He pushes a button on the ground and opens up the door of the ship. As he boards it, the ship lights up and greets, "Welcome back, Xeno"

"Hello David" he greets as he takes off his clothes. He enters the cleaning quarters and starts up a bath.

"How was your hunt?"

"Interrupted" he sighs as he enters the tub.

"How unfortunate"

"Yeah"

"You don't sound disappointed"

"Wasn't all that bad. I found Kryptonians. Apparently they're those ridiculous color schemed heroes that protect this world"

"Is that so?"

You don't sound surprised"

"I'm an AI that has been around you for more than three years. Even if I were programmed with a surprise feature, it would hardly matter since we encounter the strange all the time"

"Fair enough. Hey David, I think I'm attracted to my prey"

"That is natural for hunters, sir"

"No, I mean like...desire for something less than blood. Does that make sense"

"Not at all. How about you listen to your "End of the Day" playlist and rest up,and we'll discuss more in the morning"

Xeno sighs, he was pretty tired.

"Alright"

And with that he leans back and let's his mind drift into the music.
