My Second Chapter. Yay. Sorry it took so long, but this chapter is a longer then the other one.
Stuff to explain. In this story we're going from when Cheshire is being hunted down, to the beggining where it all started. The first chapter was in 1st pov because it was her thoughts, and it was easier to write.
The rest of the story is going to be in regular pov, and in Cheshire's point of view.
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Thank you

ELLIEdangerous: Sorry about the little burst it was easier for me to write, hope thisis easier for you
And I think that's about it.
Forgot to do this last chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own anything from DC comice, teentitans, and the character. People if I did there would be less Star/Rob, and more couples that don't get enough attention and actually well exceed in the comic world. Well kind of in this couples case.
Anywhoo if you don't like to couples or my opinion on the couple, just don't comment.
Enjoy
Night(11:52 PM)
Jade walked into the apartment building, her eyes blink against the bright fluorescent lights. She looked around in disgust, how she hated this place. Looking down to check if her Trench coat showed anything it shouldn't. Taking a deep breath she walked towards the Manager's office, hoping he wasn't there. No such luck, well for her anyway, Jade never really had a lot of luck, she knocked on the door.
"Mr. Mombic?" Things we're being moved around on the other side. She narrowed her eyes; she never wanted to ever know what he did in there. The door open, the person in there preparing to yell at whoever disturb his alone time.
"Who in the go…… Oh Miss. Shire, it's you. What can I do for you?" He wiped his sweating brow, and grinned cheekily. Creep.
"Nothing, I'm just here to give you my yearly rent." Just take it, and leave me alone.
"Sure." She handed him the check, he went back to his room, to mark her down for another year. She waited. He came back, nodding his head. "Everything seems to clear out."
"Good." What else would happen, my checks not work.
"May I ask you something?" No!!!! No!!! And a million times no you creep, leave me alone.
"You just did, but yes."
He chuckled at his own expense "True very true. Anyway, what I want to ask you is why do you stay here? I mean surely you can afford other places, and you are never here, you come and go. I mean surely there would be better places, for a beautiful girl like you." His eyes lowered immensely down, when he said that. "Unless, of course there is something keeping you here, an emotional attachment." He looked up to her face and winked.
Jade wanted to throw up. That vile slime ball, like my reasoning for staying here is because of you. That's disgusting. You're 47 and married. Oh for the love of all things pure.
"No. No reason." His little bubble burst with a loud pop. "This place just fits with my work Schedule, that's all." Not that I have one. Before he could continue this conversation Jade quickly said good bye, picking up her bag, and walk off to the elevator.
She pressed the 5th floor building, making sure her trench coat, didn't show anything, again. What she said to Mr. Mombic, was true, his apartment building really did fit her needs. She paid once a year, instead of every month, which wouldn't work out since she was gone at months' time. No one here ever asked her questions, like how did she get her money, what did she do for a living, how come she was 17 and had no guardian, where she was from, what kind of job does a 17 year old have that can pay a yearly rent.
Even though the manager was a slime ball, the building wasn't that bad and neither were the people. They minded their own business. And left her alone, Most of them didn't even bother talking to her.
And why should they, she was a normal everyday citizen. Nothing special, nothing unique, just walking by ever day person. The elevator ding, signaling to her she was at her floor. Checking her trench coat for the last time, she hastily walked to her door has quickly has possible, trying to avoid any more human contact. She jammed her key, and twisted it. Her door open, and shut.
She took long breath, and finally relaxed, no one saw anything. She went to curtains making sure; all of them were completely closed. She looked around, checking that no one else was in here.
"Hello?" No answer not like she was expecting anyone, Jade didn't have family or friends.
She was all alone. She opened her Trench coat, to reveal a bloody torn up green yukata. Police men, villains, and most heroes would easily recognize this has the masked, infamous assassin's outfit, known has Cheshire.
She slid down the wall, take deep breaths. That was to close, even for her. She continued to breathe in deeply. Slamming her fist on the floor, she didn't even get the money. And she needed it, damn it why did she just grab the bag and run. Damn it All. She shut her eyes and counted backwards, well her way of counting backwards.
10- 9- 5 -6-7-3-4-8-2-1.
She continued to do this, in till her breath return to normal. She opened her eyes, and just sat there. She knew she shouldn't be in the middle of her living room, but she was too tired to go to the bathroom to wash up and change. Her stomach growled it didn't enjoy not being fed for a whole day. She really should get up. Her eyes started too closed. She shouldn't be out in the middle of her living room, but the rough rug, was starting to feel softer by the second. A few seconds wouldn't kill her.
Just a few.
(Morning) 9:27 AM
Jade woke up with a sharp pain in her stomach. Her eye shot right open and stared at the now foggy room. Sunlight was trying to get through the curtains. She clenched her eyes, when she felt another shot of pain, making her grab her stomach. She moaned her head was pounding. This was not the way she wanted to wake up at all. Hell, she didn't even want to wake up. She struggle to get up, her whole body was aching. Why in the world did she sleep on the floor? For all the stupid things she did, why that one.
She started walking toward the kitchen, stumbling every other step. She was not fully awake, but her stomach sure was, it started to growl.
Muttering against stomachs and the need for food, she open the fridge to only find water bottles, cheap wine, and a couple of molding slices of cheeses. She made a face, when the smell reached her noise. Forgetting she had been gone for 3 months, and didn't go shopping. Where was food"? She started to franticly search the cabinets. Delighted to find some snack/junk foods, she grinned, usually she was against this crap, but was begging to think that, has she opened the bag of chips, and smelling it. Much better, then the icky yucky molding cheese, why did she leave it there while she left.
She began to make her odd meal, humming happily. Sitting with her bright and slightly creepy Cheshire grin at the counter, looking down at her breakfast. Chips, 2 Twinkies, and skittles, far from the healthiest meal, but it was food, delicious food. So what if she was going to gain like what 20 pounds from this, it was food.
She started eating, looking at her apartment. 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen, living room. Technically she had a dining room, or a dining space. But she counted it has part of the living room, no need to get into too much detail. She finished up, rather quickly, and stretched her aching arms. She really had to go shopping for both food and a new job. Well not a new job, but more a new assignment.
Work was becoming harder for her, after the whole entire Brotherhood mess. The titans had become a rather pain in her ass, making her clients on edge. Always appearing out of nowhere, and always having another one with them. Team Work a waste of time if you asked her, that's just one big neon sign for saying stab me in the back because I trust you. She rolled her eyes, it might work on their side, but her it really was just a big neon sign for that. Even though her job, were becoming harder and harder to complete, they were even harder to get.
She failed with the Brotherhood, going down with them. She was no longer the best of the best. She was no longer respected no longer feared. To the rest of the Killers, she was just silly little girl, playing dress up. But that would end soon enough, she just needed to make a big one happen, and she be feared, and be on the top once more. She just needed a little luck.
She looked down, and frowned. She really needed to wash up. Her outfit was not a pleasing sight, and she could only guess how she looked. Leaving her plate on the counter, she walked to her bedroom. I t really wasn't her bedroom, it look like the same has the other bedroom. Barely anything in it, green covers, empty books cases, silver alarm clock, and white walls. If anyone actually came here, they would probably think no one lived here. She smirked at the idea; it would be funny to see their reaction. Jade started to play around with the idea of inviting someone her just to see their reaction. Take a towel out of her closet and all of her feminine products, she walked into the bathroom. She took off her shoes, having slept in them. Glad she made the choice of not wearing her Cheshire shoes to home. Those things pinch like crazy, she really needed to work on getting bigger shoes or more comfy ones.
She turned the water has hot has it could go. Placing everything in the shower and hanging her towel, she looked into the mirror. EW! It was as bad as she thought, her hair had come out of her bun sticking everywhere, her rushed makeup she had put on last night was smeared and runny, and her skin had become pale and sick like. She couldn't help but grimace, no more sleeping on the floor. She strip down and threw away her outfit, she would do the trash later. Stepping into the shower, her muscles instantly tensed up from the boiling type water, and then relax. She took a deep sigh. How did it go all wrong?
Oh right, Titans. Stupid noisy good guys, the man she killed was even a decent human being, just a drug dealer she was hired to kill by another drug dealer. They probably wouldn't even come, if it wasn't her. Sadly though even if she was below sea level, with the 'underworld', didn't mean she wasn't still on top of the Heroes list. They had it in for her, ever since they found she was never frozen or caught for that matter in Paris. She just disappeared. The temptation to do an evil laugh was quite strong. She finished up washing herself and took a deep breath, she counted backwards.
10-9-5-6-7-3-4-8-2-1
She turned off the Hot water and turned on the cold water. Her body reacted instantly, Goosebumps crawled over her skin. She shivered, wanting to jump of the freezing water, but just stayed there. What was she going to do, she needed money, and she had enough to last for two weeks if she planned. But most of it was already spent getting to America and paying her rent. She could always open one of her other accounts, in Europe or Asia. But those we're strictly for emergencies. Emergencies like… come to think of it she hadn't come up with a reason for the accounts, yeah they were for emergencies, but what kind exactly. Most work on that.
Jade turned off the icy water, and stepped out of the shower wrapping the towel around her petite body. She stared at herself in the mirror, she looked better still pale, but her normal skin tone was returning. She walked into her room, her feet we're glad to get of the cold tile floor and onto the nice carpet in her room. She went to her desk, and opened up her drawer, finding some notebook paper and a pen.

Toweling off she quickly put her wet hair in a messy bun, put on a pair of jeans, and a tube top, did her makeup, grabbed her purse locked her door. She made it to the elevator with no awkward conversations with anyone. Today was starting to become a great day, when the elevator started clothing she suddenly realize her keys were still on the living room floor. DAMNIT ALL, know she was going have to talk to Mr.Mombic. Rolling her eyes she just had to say this was going to be a great day, Stupid Jade.
