Chapter 1
Hunted...
Disclaimer: You should already know I don't own LoSH cause there's a disclaimer here. This story does not follow the comic-verse where Timber Wolf is thought to be dead and gains more lupine attributes. I made this as a root for a story I was writing in which Timber Wolf gets Phantom Girl pregnant...I've already started on the first chapter and it seems good so far.
Just to keep up; "Talking", 'Thinking', 'Talking out loud by accident", '*Telepathy*'
Also: This takes place after the series, so most of the villains aren't around anymore(Cough-Emperiex-cough), also there will be some OOCness. I may have gotten inspiration for this chapter/and story from Chronicles of Riddick.
Summary:
Timber Wolf is captured/kidnapped by intergalactic poachers and taken to a fighting ring that broadcast across the planets. What will become of him? Will the Legion find him before it's to late? How is all of this effecting Phantom Girl? And what will she do to get him back? Main pair: TWxPG with hinted SGxLL and one sided OCxTW. Rated 'T' for blood, language, violence, etc. all that sh*t.

'I don't know why...but ever sense that mission almost a month ago I feel like there's been a cold blade being pressed to back of my neck when ever I'm out. I managed to keep it hidden from Saturn Girl. But I've been waking up in the middle of the night, all because I 'feel' that cold blade is pressing down more and more every time I go out for more than two hours. But I ain't no idiot, I know what this feeling is.
I'm being watched.
It's an all too familiar feeling for me; Having lived on Rahl for nearly two years does that to you, makes you alert. Too alert for life in the city. That's why I usually take the missions that go off planet and take awhile to get there. They give me some quiet time, some time to think, but not to much since on Rahl an actual eclipse occurs more times than silence. To much much and you know something's up...or you get the feeling that something is...'
Turning away from my Holo-Journal, I silently leaped over my bed and across the room as the door 'silently' slid open with my right hand raised to slash the intruder only to for it to stop half an inch from where Cham's face was a split second ago before him and Karate Kid jumped back a couple feet with scared looks on their faces.
"Woah. Bri-I mean Timber Wolf calm down.", Cham said with wide eyes and judging by the way the little spikes on his head were pointing up he was ready to change in a moments notice.
"Are you okay?", Karate Kid asked taking a small timid step closer. I couldn't blame'm I didn't really know the answer myself.
"Yeah. Sorry, I...Just haven't been gettin' enough sleep is all.", I'm not all to good at lying, but I wasn't exactly lying I was only saying part of the truth. I've got enough sleep to be rested but not calm. There's a difference.
"Well...Saturn Girl and the others sent us to tell you about a meeting about that mission a month ago, since we can't use the rings cause someone might have tapped into the frequency. They said it had something to do with those intergalactic poachers we just heard about. Said they've been bouncing from system to system abducting males and females of "Certain" species for...something.", Cham said, they obviously didn't tell him or Karate Kid. It must have been something that they could seriously get hurt doing or worse killed. Thought the of it nearly sent a shudder threw me. Nearly being a key word.
"Okay, just give me a sec and I'll be right out.", I said as I closed the door back and walked over to the still open holographic journal and closed it, saving my previous entry. Brainy had given them out to every legion member so they could vent on stuff that they considered private or if they just couldn't talk about it with any one else. With that done I walked out the door and down the hall with Cham on my right and Karate Kid on my left.
Half way there Cham turned to me and said, "T, you know you can tell us if something is wrong, right?".
"Yes. We are your friends, you can tell us if somethings bothering you.", Karate Kid said in a tone just like Cham's.
With a sigh I reached over and placed a hand on each ones shoulder closest to me and said, "You guys are more than just friends, your like the little brothers I never had. If I ever find out either of you told anyone I said that, I'm gonna knock you both into your golden years and leave you there.", I said with a bit of humor and a smirk. Cham and Karate Kid just chuckled as we continued down the hall.
*On a building two miles away*
Several large bulky figures stood atop a tall building while observing the Legion of Super Heroes headquarters with special binocular like tools.
One male with slightly tanned skin, shortcut red hair and rugged sideburns turned to the blond one who sat crouched in front of them at the ledge of the building with a carnivorous grin plastered on his face, The Leader, and said in a thickly accented voice, "S'cuse me boss,", that caused 'Boss' to turn around, right eyebrow raised in a silent question.
"Ye sure we makin' a good, safe bet on this...this 'Timber Wolf'? He is one o' them Legion runts and from what I done heard, a damn strong one.", Said the red haired male in somewhat concerned tone of voice. This earned a chuckle from the leader and most of the group minus a black haired female with her hair pulled back into a short, curly ponytail whilst she slowly ran her finger along the razor sharp edge of one of her many hunting/throwing knives. A habit she did when thinking.
It went unnoticed as the chuckling died down and the boss walked over and placed a callused and somewhat dirty hand on the red heads shoulder saying, "Oi Ros, ha ya worry so damn much I wonder whether I got two girls on this team or three(A/N: No offense ladies, he's just an ass.).", that didn't go well as a split second later a knife went sailing past his left cheek by less than a centimeter, which left a tingling feeling lingering on the hairs of his five o' clock shadowed cheek. Bringing a hand up to rub the tingling away, he smirked at the seething female who glared a him from where she sat, arm still extended from when she had thrown the knife to purposely graze his cheek instead of slice the skin just over the artery in his neck. Why she made that chose, she'll never know. The pale, slightly taller brunette female next to her looked about ready to draw her gun.
"A love tap...for me? Ah, I'm flattered, Reema, really I am.", He said, grinning with all the cockiness of sarcastic drunk asshole despite how he was sober at the moment. The female, Reeda, simply gave him a mock grin before rolling her eyes with a scoff muttering, "You wish...".
His face suddenly dropped as he turned to a thin figure standing in the shadow of one of his ship's engines, almost invisible as they leaned against the under side of the large roach shaped ship. "Ya know, I consider eavesdroppin' a crime, specially when YOU eavesdrop on ME. Punishable by death, it is."
"Calm down, now, don't get ya balls in a twist...Not like ya have any." Said the figure as it walked out from beneath the ship to reveal a black suited male with multiple pieces of technology, no doubt stolen, attached to him. He just smirked at the agitated blond before he pulled out a a small green portable holo-screen and offered it to the rather peeved poacher leader before him. "This,", He gestured to the green holo-screen, "...Is the info on your target. It ain't complete, but it's enough. If you want more, Briks, then you'll need to pay extra.", with that the the leader, now recognized as Briks, swiftly snatched the tablet away from the high ranking Scavenger.
"Like hell I'll pay for more.", He said as he held the tablet in front of him and gave it a light squeeze, causing it to expand into a fully sized holo-screen filled with information on the target their "client" wanted them to find, "catch", and bring to his ship near the outer most region of The Milky Way Galaxy. Upon reading his brow creased, then wrinkled as his eyebrows shot up to the point where they both disappeared beneath his shortcut blond hair. Then to the relief, or misfortune, of his crew another carnivorous grin, this one wider than the previous and showing more teeth, reached both his ears as he chuckled lowly which sent a shudder up everyone's spine, including his own. Or that might have been his excitement at having, as he said in his words, 'Another fighter ripe for the pickin'.'. And with anyone knowing Briks that saying just meant, 'We're goin' to need some pain killers, body bags and a big casket...Throw in a small army while ya at it.', and that would just be getting information on where to find their target, fortunately they already knew where there target was.
But unfortunately they were only a quick run away from him...and a hell of a lot of "resistance".
Due to lack of better judgment the team of six gathered around Briks to get a look at what they were dealing with. And that's what lead to them reading the ENTIRE thing twice, maybe three times, with slacked jaws. Briks simply stared, still grinning, at the holo-screen before he locked gazes with the scavenger before and said, "Get ya lacks ready. We attack in five minutes!", he yelled obviously too loud as he quickly ran over to his ship with his crew following immediately whilst rubbing their ears.
*Legion Headquarters five minutes later*Timber Wolf p.o.v.
We were just about half way threw the meeting before there was an explosion and most of the tower shook violently. Not a second later the sirens and flashing red lights came on, sending me into an automatic high alert.
I felt the blood rush to my ears as they twitched and rotated. Closing my eyes I blocked out the frantic heartbeats of the others and blaring sirens and focused on listening to the lower levels. And that's when I heard it, the almost non-perceptible hum of a hover pack and the much more perceptible sound of footsteps. They were on the first floor and nearing one of the elevators.
We were being attacked...
A/N: Next chapter the fight. Timber Wolf gets captured and wakes up in a different place. Romance will start soon, I promise. REVIEW! Please...
