'And what if i do?'' Jason asked curiously.
''You kill criminals just like me.'' She snorted as if it were obvious.
''Wait...so that person you just killed was...''
''...A criminal. Don't worry- the hostage is long gone.''
Alice quickly gets to her feet looking up at him.
''What's wrong?''
''I hear a gang war going on.''
''Where?''
''About a few blocks from here,''
''Thanks for the heads-up'' Jason stated before finally getting to his feet.
"Whoa! Alice exclaimed, holding her arm in front of Jason as he attempted to leave the alley. Where are you going?
"To where the fight is." Jason snorted as though it weren't obvious already.
"Uh, no you're not! I'll take care of it - you can go do something else!"
"Listen lady, I can handle myself!"
"You're not going to make this easy for me are you?"
"Nope" Jason exclaimed, making Alice vexed.
"You know what? Forget it! I'm not going to stop you." She through her hands in the air and continued back down towards the main street.
''Ha!'' Jason exclaimed as he took off after Alice.
Red Hood and Alice head off to the scene of the gang war. It was a small fight taking place in an abandoned building.
"I love a good gang war!'' Jason withdraws his pistols.
"Well, wish me luck!" Jason chuckled before diving guns first into the altercation.
"The hell I am." Alice snorted as she followed red hood into the building.
Red Hood and Alice go in to the building through the entrance around the back.
"Hello gentlemen!"
"Well look who it is it's Red Hood and his little hoe" A gangster laughs, "What's your name? Little Red Riding Hood?" he laughs
"It doesn't matter what my name is. All that matters is that you're going to die."
First to pull their guns were the gangsters, some had AK-47's, some had shotguns or MP5 Submachine Guns. Next to draw was Red Hood and lastly, Alice. Alice managed to dodge every bullet that came in her direction and she fired some shots, killing three guys. Red Hood swiftly reloaded and shot four guys expertly. A gangster appeared from the shadows and shot Jason at point-blank from behind, the bullet hitting him in the shoulder. Jason reacts quickly, but the agonizing pain makes it feel like he is moving in slow motion. He breaks the gangster's nose with a precise forearm block.
Red Hood growls in agony and stumbles.
Alice looks over and sees Jason clutching his shoulder with his right hand. The gangster is about to shoot him in the head, when Alice quickly tackles the gangster to the ground and bites his throat out, watching him bleed to death.
The remaining gangsters flee. Alice approaches Jason.
"So, wish me luck, huh? Mister I almost got killed.'' Alice said in a taunting manner.
Red Hood snarled "Shut up!"
"Just come with me."
Alice sees the blood stain on the shoulder of his costume and quickly turns away so that she doesn't go crazy and drain him dry.
"Where are we going?" Red Hood asked through gritted teeth as he followed Alice down to the warehouse district.
"To my warehouse. I'll patch you up."
"Thanks" Red Hood nodded.
Alice takes Jason to her warehouse. She rubs alcohol on his wound, gets him to bite down on a rag and then uses a sharp knife and tweezers to pull the bullet out. She sponges it over to cleanse the wound and then bandages his shoulder.
"It will be sore for a few weeks" Alice said "And you never did answer my question: Do you know the identity of The Batman?"
Red Hood grimaced in pain "He used to be my mentor"
"Your mentor?" Alice was getting curious now.
Red Hood nodded. "Yes but he replaced me and now he's got someone else."
"Does that upset you?"
Red Hood looked down. "It did, but I got over it"
Alice narrowed her eyes. Something in his voice didn't convince her, but she didn't comment on her thought.
'"OK" Was what she said instead.
Red Hood stated "Now I have got to ask you some questions."
''What questions?''
"How long have you been a vampire?" he asked.
"500 years." She replied quickly.
Red Hood gasped, almost disbelieving. "Really?!"
"Yes" she replied.
Red Hood was intrigued. "Wow - Were you born a vampire or were you turned?"
"I was turned." she said.
Red Hood probed for more information. "How old were you when you were turned?"
"I was twenty-eight."
"Quite young." He nods in amazement.
"Say, how old are you?" She asked him.
Red Hood replied "Twenty-five."
"What is your real name?"
"Why do you need to know?" He spat bitterly.
"I just wanted to know"
"I do not feel comfortable revealing my identity"
"Why not?"
"I prefer to remain anonymous...it's better that way."
"Fair enough. Well...my name is Alice."
"Alice. I like that name."
"Thanks." Alice smiles, with a small blush covering her cheeks.
Red Hood smiled back "You're welcome."
The two of them smiled at each other for a few seconds until Jason finally decided to speak.
Red Hood looked at her patching him up. "So uh...are you finished yet?"
"yeah I'm done."
Jason nodded. "Thanks''. Jason stood, pulling his shirt and jacket back on when he stood.
''So...I guess we'll meet each other again tomorrow night?"
''Actually, I think we should go out separate ways. But it was nice meeting you."
Jason nodded solemnly. "Oh okay."
Alice just nodded.
Red Hood and Alice agreed to go their separate ways.
Alice thought to herself "Phew! What was that feeling I had earlier? Am I developing feelings for him? I hope not."
Red Hood thought as he walked to his motorcycle. "Why was I smiling at her? Am I starting to like her? I'm not the type to get hung up on some...girl."
