A/N: Hey, I'm new to BoP. My first attempt at a fic. Hopefully it won't be too painful to read. I'm no expert in the Batman world so something's could be off. But again, I hope you'll enjoy. I'd love some feedback.
The Deep
New Gotham... The perfect, modern city. Yet it seemed as doomed as the ashes it was built on.
Gotham City had fallen under the reign of terror provided by The Joker and his colleagues. This reign also brought down the legendary team of vigilantes lead by Batman.
But from the ashes of the earthquake that followed came New Gotham. Beautiful on the outside but still struggling with Evil Meta-humans and Insane crimnals.
A new team rose with a the new city: The Birds Of Prey.
Dinah Lance, daughter of Black Canary and their newest addition, casually walked down the dark streets of New Gotham with her adoptive sister, Helena Kyle, Daughter of Batman and Catwoman.
She looked over at Huntress and a puzzled look appeared on her face. "Why don't I have an alterego? You get Huntress, Barbara has Oracle, Im just Dinah."
Huntres just looked at her, "you gotta work for a name... and make sure you pick a good one."
"Like Huntress?" She laughed to herself but quickly stopped when she felt the death stare the brunette was giving her.
A voice infiltrated both of their minds, saving Dinah from the wrath of Helena. "Delphi just reported a panic button has ben activated at a research lab on Fullerton. I need you to check it out."
"We're practically there." Helena answer while picking up the pace.
Rounding the coner they spotted a man, quite obviously a scientist and very nervous, coming out of the building with a briefcase.
Helena's eyes shifted to the feline esk state as she made her full transformtion into Huntress. "It's time to earn that superhero name, kid."
Dinah grinned, "So, he's mine? No back seat crime fighting?"
Huntress gave her sly smile. "He's all yours, I'm pretty sure you can take him."
Dinah grinned as she raced foward and stopped the scientist in his tracks. "Nice night for a walk, huh?"
He brought the brief case up to his cest and held it tight. "You-You have to go away."
"And let you get away with..." She pointed to the case, "Whtever is in that?"
He broke out in a sweat and tried to walk around her, "Not so fast. Why don't you just tell me what you stole?"
"You don't want to get into this. Just let me go or it'll only turn out bad for you." He said quietly.
Dinah laughed and crosed her arms. "Is that a threat?"
"Please, he'll kill us both." He pleaded.
Dinah sighed. This was getting boring. "Who will?"
He looked around widely, "Luna." He whispered.
Dinah rolled her eyes and grabbed the bag but the scientist tried to yank it back, causng the contents to roll out. 2 cylinders of blue liquid.
Dinah looked at them trying to figure out what they were when she heard something behind her.
A large man was standing there looking pretty mean. "Huntress!!" She shouted as he dived for her.
******
Helena watched from the other side of the street as Dinah appeared to be having a witty chat with their perp.
She sighed and turned around as she used her Comm to talk to Oracle, "So, what's the deal with this guy?"
"You havn't beat that out of him yet?" Came the slightly amused voice.
"I wish. I'm letting Dinah take this one, he's just one little geek. Probably got fired today and he's trying to steal some stationary."
"Miht be but the company he woks for are more typically into research drugs than stationary."
"Huntress!!"
******
Dinah kicked 'Luna' in the chest as he dived for her and it seemed to do nothing to him. He grabbed Dinah by the throat and held her above the ground.
The blonde gagged, panicing when her feet wouldn't touch the ground. She could hear the mufled voice of Oracle in her ear but the blood pumping through her was louder. She began kicking out but again it didn't affect him.
As Luna felt Huntress approach he slammed Dinah down hard onto the concreate with a damp thud.
******
Huntress ran across the street as she saw her young partner being held up by the throat, as she neared the large man, ready to beat him to a pulp, he launched Dinah down onto the pavement with staggering force. She felt herself scream inside as Dinah smacked he ground and lay unmoving.
"Huntress? What's Happening??" Oracle demanded. Dinah wasn't answering.
Huntress blocked out her mentor and instead ran at the building behind Luna and propelled herself, landing a solid kick to his head. It only made him stagger away from the unconcious Dinah.
She was aware of the scientist, their original mark, running far away and very fast considerring he wasn't exactly young and fit.
She kicked and punched at the large man infront of her. Her anger made the hits all the more powerful and fast, her meta abilities working overtime.
Still, he didn't go down like he should have long ago.
He looked up at the seriously pissed Huntress, "I'll be back for you." He promised before turning and running off into the darkness of the night.
She would have gone after him but Dinah was more imporant to her, they were family now.
She became aware of Oracle's voice again. "Huntress?!"
"Barbara, she's hurt." She said, forgetting about the protocol of using code names. She stood looking down at Dinah, to scared to move.
"Hurt How?" She asked calmly but there was a certain fear in there.
Helena took a deep breath and bent down. She reached out two ingers to Dinah's neck. Relieved to feel a definate pulse.
"I'm not sure. She's out cold." She answered trying to hide the shakeyness of her own voice.
"It's ok, Helena. Just bring her right back to the clock tower."
Helena nodded. She carefully put an arm around the teens shoulder's and sat her up. "Oh god, Oracle, she's bleeding." She said, referring to the large gah on the back of Dinah's head but also her back, where she was thrown down on what appeared to be glass.
"Get her back here now." Oracle said agan.
Helena was about to take off for the clock tower when she saw a cylinder filled with blue liquid. She gently brought Dinah close to her so she could reach out and take it. Once it was safely in her pocket she took Dinah's full weight, not that there was much of it, and ran in the direction of the clock tower.
