AN: I decided to put together a list of songs that I believe fit in somehow with the DC Universe and write a little one shot on them, I'll just go in order of them on my playlist. The only thing it really has to do with the song is the last line, but I like the way I put it in there so :P Enjoy?

Mercenary- Panic! At the Disco:

"There's an emergency down in the cafeteria." The Vice-Principal was pretty awful at keeping her voice down as she cried out the sentence as I passed the main office coming from the library. She had always seemed birdlike to me so the exclamation came out sounding like a squawk, a desperate and scared squawk, but a squawk nonetheless.

"What kind of emergency?" the Principal replied. He had a deep voice that seemed to echo even when he wasn't on the microphone in the auditorium.

"It's Two Face, sir!" Vice-Principal Bird yelled. "He's rampaging around the entire commons area! We need to call the police!"

"Sounds like a job for a secret vigilante I know," I muttered to myself with a small smile, slipping into the conveniently placed girl's rest room by the main office. I had made a habit of keeping my suit on my in times like these where crises popped up and the police would never arrive in time. I stashed my backpack behind the cleanest toilet I could find, slipping out of my uniform and into my owl suit like it was second nature. The change took less than 2 minutes, a time I was very proud of considering in the field villains wouldn't give you much time to go from civilian to crime-fighter, if any at all.

I slipped out the bathroom window, letting the highly placed exit give me a bit of height so I could glide to the front of the building instead of having to run all the way there. A helpful gust of wind blew me down and I landed on my feet in front of the school, skidding a foot or two as people gawked at me as if I had come from Mars (actually, considering there's a couple of Martians who work with the Justice League I'm not sure that's the best metaphor). I gave a devious smile to all of them before rushing inside to see the carnage that Two Face had brought with him.

The entire commons area was a mess, broken glass from the trophy case strewn on the floor, large sections of burned wall from a flame-thrower Two Face was wielding as well as crazed kids running around screaming that they were all going to die. Honestly I'd seen 7 year olds face danger better than these upperclassmen. I sighed to myself, hitting the small hidden button on the side of my cowl that activated the comms unit.

"Robin, I'm not sure if you know yet, but there's a situation in the commons. Two Face decided to come back to high school and man, he's flunking hard."

"Already ahead of you," a devilish voice said next to me as the Boy Wonder leapt down from a higher perch he'd obtained before I'd arrived.

"Gee, sorry, I wasn't trained by the most epic ninja crime fighter in the world without powers or meta-abilities." I rolled my eyes. "So what's the plan of action?"

"You wanna go for Two Face? I've been noticing that Bats only lets you take out the goons and never lets you handle the head-honcho. Want to give it a try?" Robin offered, making the conversation sound casual as if we were discussing what dress I should wear to one of Bruce's dinner parties.

"Sounds great. You'll be there to help if I need it?" I looked to him for confirmation.

"I'm insulted you have to ask." He gave a signature grin before leaping off to stop one of Two Face's minions from throwing a bomb into the kitchens. I sighed, squeezing my hands into fists before taking a running jump and flying in the air towards the ugly criminal.

His back was to me as I flew and it wasn't until I landed, kicking him in the back in the process, that he actually noticed my existence. The kick to his back did little to subdue him, though a lot to piss him off. He stumbled forward a few feet then whirled around. The left side of his face was even uglier in person with his skin a reddish pink color, pinched up at the places where his cheeks met his mouth, nose, and eye. The lips on his left side pulled up giving the man an appearance of having an extremely scary smile on forever.

"Oh, I think I've heard of you…" his voice was calm and soothing, one I knew to be Harvey Dent's, the man he was before Two Face ever came to be. "You're that Owl Girl, aren't you?"

"I see someone's been keeping up with the local news," I replied sarcastically. "People usually call me Owlet."

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Owlet. It's frigid in here and you're looking a bit chilly, let me help WARM YOU UP!" The last part of his sentence switched from the even voice to a crazed cackling one that chilled me to the very core. He aimed the flame-thrower at me, squeezing the trigger just after I'd found the brain cells to tell me body to get away. I somersaulted to my right, landing in a crouched position a few feet from where I'd started. With the blast Two Face had completely melted the Gotham Academy trophy case. The hard won trophies were now reduced to a big gooey mess that dripped down onto the usually pristine tile floors of the private school. I looked over behind Two Face to see Principal Deep Voice as well as Vice-Principal Bird, looking at the destruction in horror. No, not the destruction of the well-used commons area of the school that doubled as the cafeteria and a place for students to hang out in the morning. They were gawking at what was left of the trophy case which had been their personal bragging rights. Suddenly their eyes locked on me as Two Face tried to shoot me once more. This time I moved in a flash and appeared next to them as quick as a wink.

"Sorry about the wreck this is turning out to be, but you can understand its always messy dealing with super-criminals, right?" I gave the two a large and charming smile as they only stared at me in horror as if I was the one who'd been responsible for the damage done to the school. Inwardly I sighed. No matter how much good you did for the community as a vigilante the best thing you could do is dodge the blast and apologize for the collateral damage.
