OooooO
January 14th
Jacob Stampede slipped his arms into his black winter coat, and flipped it onto his shoulders. He checked his watch, they were running late. "Toph, were going to be late!" He yelled to his girlfriend, who was getting ready in another other room of their shared apartment.
"I'll be out in a second." She yelled back. Toph was twenty-two years old from a wealthy family that lived in China. Her full name was Christoper, as her parents were expecting a boy. Jacob has known her since ninth grade, and has been dating ever since.
But the best thing that Jacob liked about her was her personality, well that and her gorgeous nine level looks. Toph was completely blind, Jacob's favorite's thing about her was that she doesn't, not that she physically can, judge someone on their looks. She was very straight forward and always to the point, another thing that Jack\ob loved.
Jacob sighed and said to himself. "Girls, even the ones that can't see take forever to get ready."
And finally she walked out into their living room wearing her green over-coat.
"There, happy?" She said, somehow looking straight at him.
"Not yet." He said with a smile that she couldn't see. He put a hand on her shoulder and led her to the door. "Come on, let's go." And just as he opened the door, his cell phone rang. He made a disgruntled sigh, took his phone out of his pocket, and check who the caller was. "It's work."
"Ah, it's okay. I know that works important to you." Toph said looking up at him.
"Can you get to the car safely?"
"Can I see?"
"No."
Her smile dropped, as thought about what she said. "That's besides the point. I'll meet you in the car." She walked out of their apartment, he watched he go with his smile still on his face.
Jacob's smile dropped like it was hot, making his expression much darker, as if he became a different person entirely. He answered his phone. "Hello." He said in his calm voice.
The man on the other line was his employer, Sal Maroni. {Jack?}
"What?" Jacob snapped in a much darker tone, not even trying too hide his annoyance.
{It's Sal. We need you to come to Gotham immediately. I have a job for you.}
Jacob was pissed. Maroni interrupted a date with Toph, just to tell Jacob to go and kill someone. "I'll be there tomorrow." Jacob hung up his phone, and left his apartment.
OooooO
Hours later, Jacob and Toph returned from their date, and were now sitting at their home on their sofa. They were sitting quietly for a long time, Toph was leaning against him with her eyes closed. The silence was broken when Toph had suddenly asked. "So what did work want this time?"
He always tried to avoid talking to her about his work, but he had to answer her when she asked. He sighed. "My boss want's me to go to Gotham, they have some maintenance issues that they need a specialist for. I have to leave tomorrow. I don't know how long it'll take."
"I know. Although I wished that you didn't have to go away for so long, I know you like it, and it pays for everything." She said looking up at him with her innocent face and greyish-green eyes.
"Toph." He said. "You are so awesome."
"More then the Miz?"
"Way more."
Soon the two fell asleep on their sofa, cuddled in each others arm's. (Aww)
OooooO
January 15th.
Jacob had wakened at noon, and headed to the Mission city airport. He bought a ticket and boarded his plane. He sat through the six hour flight from Mission City Wisconsin to Gotham City New Jersey. When the plane arrived, Jacob found one of Maroni's men waiting for him. The man had told him to follow him, and led him to a limo outside, where he drove Jacob to Maroni's manor.
"Okay." Jacob said to himself in the back seat of the limo. He opened his suit case, and pulled out his two black forearm bracers. He put one on each arm, and secured them tightly. "Time for Jacob to stop being Jacob." He said to himself. He put his right arm in front of his face, and flicked his wrist, which activated a mechanism in the bracer that made a deadly blade spring forth out of the bracer.
He ran a finger over the blade, and said in his darker tone. "And time for Jacob to start being Jack."
OooooO
