Chpt.6

Austin smiled happily as he continued throwing grenades at cop cars with a twisted smile on his face.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Even brighter than the moon! Moon! Moon! It's always been inside of you! You! You! And now it's time to let it through!" he sang happily off key as he continued chucking grenades from his jacket. They were small, and clearly specially made, but the explosion was still harmful.

"BABY YOU'RE A FIRE WO-" Athena flew at him, grabbing him by the jacket, and taking him to a high roof top in one quick swoop, getting him away from the Police that were under fire. She then pinned him to the ground, scowling at him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" she shouted angrily.

"Well, I said that I'd find you, but that was a lie because I couldn't find you, so I thought that I would blow a little something up so you'd find me, but then the cops came along and they're a bunch of joy-killers, so I started blowing up their cars." He informed with a shrug. "Honestly, they should be thanking me. their cars were crap anyway."

"Someone could've gotten hurt." Athena growled, glaring at the man, however, he smiled innocently at her.

"But nobody did." He smirked at her. "By the way, I'm really liking this position."

Athena was disgusted by the man and unpinned him, but then lifted him up by his hair, making him childishly whine,

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow."

"Where is Two-face." she growled, grabbing Austin by the lapels of his jacket.

"Ah. Ah. Ah." Austin scolded as if he was speaking to a child. "I will take you to him, so I don't have to worry about you taking me to Arkham right away." He smiled.

"No." Athena stated sternly as she grabbed his hair again, pulling his hair painfully. "You tell me now." Austin chuckled despite his pain, and leered at her.

"Sorry beautiful, but you don't scare me. So, I either throw down one of my grenades, disappearing, or I take you to Two-Face. Your call."

Athena's eyes narrowed, but she knew that Two-Face was of more importance than Austin. Despite how much the guy annoyed her.

"Fine." she grunted. "Take me to Two-Face." Austin smiled at her as she let go of his hair.

"Then I'll lead the way, Beautiful Goddess." Athena glared at him, hating the nick-names, then followed the crazed man.

"Right here." Austin smiled happily. Athena looked at the building, and nodded. It made sense for Two-Face to hide in the old abandoned Casino near the docks. It matched his coin theme, plus the Docks made a good place to easily purchase fire arms from overseas and get them quickly..

"I suggest going through the window on the top of the building." Austin informed. Athena gave him a suspicious look, but then flew to the top window, lugging Austin with her so he wouldn't get away.

She looked down to see that the building was dark.

"That's weird. I know he's here. Maybe he's not home at the moment." Austin mused. "knock. Knock. Who's there? Nobody. Nobody who? No body lives who knocks on the door." He laughed hard at the joke, and Athena rolled her eyes. "And then the guy who knocked on the door dies. I wonder how much blood there was. Probably a lot. So much blood. Did the killer use a hacksaw? Or maybe a drill? Or maybe he was shot down by a whole lotta guns."

"Shut up." Athena growled, and then grabbed Austin by his jacket and broke the roof window, floating down onto the ground.

She figured that she might find some things that could lead her to Two-Face if he wasn't there.

However, when she landed, the lights flickered on, and Athena's eyes widened.

Two-Face and his goons surrounded her, all with their guns trained on her. She looked over at Austin to see that he had a small pistol aimed at her.

"Surprise, PG." he smiled.

He lied to me! Well… actually I guess he didn't. He said he'd take me to Two-Face, and he did. Damn this guy. And his stupid babbling makes some sense now. "Shot down by a whole loota guns" as he said. Too bad guns don't do much to me.

"You're a real pain in the ass, you know that?" Athena growled, looking at Austin.

Two-Face then cleared his throat before the other man could respond.

"Good side, we use her to bait Batman alive. Bad side, we bait Batman with her dead body." Two-Face chuckled as he flipped the coin. He looked up at Athena and smiled.

"Shoot her up, boys." He laughed, and the men opened fire on her, including Austin. She managed to block the first several bullets, but then one hit her arm and then her stomach, then her leg, and her forehead.

The force of all the bullets knocked her off of her feet, and she was on the ground.

"Well. That was disappointing. I thought she'd last longer." Austin pouted.

However, Athena sat up, glaring at the men. None of the bullet managed to pierce her skin, but she knew that she'd need to fix up the holes in her jacket and costume.

"What the hell." Two-Face grunted, and Austin smiled.

"You don't disappoint." Athena punched him in the face, then ran towards Two-Face and his goons, who started firing at her again.

She blocked one bullet, making it hit one of the men's leg, and then started beating up the men easily.

She looked over at Two-Face, who started to run off, but she chased after him, and quickly punched him in the face, knocking him out.

"I know Nightwing would be so proud if I made some sort of punching joke, but honestly I can't come up with one." Athena said to herself as she handcuffed the man.

"You're so damn interesting! I love it!" Austin exclaimed happily as he rubbed his cheek where she punched him. "By the way, you have a very good right hook." He informed with a smiled.

Athena looked at him angrily as she started to come at him, but he confidently pulled out his gun.

Athena smacked it to the side as if it was a toy, and grabbed Austin by the throat, squeezing tightly. She was frustrated, and angry.

She was having a nice day with Ramon and she was just about to kiss him, when Austin ruined it. Then he set her up! Sure she lived, but that didn't make her feel any better.

"That was really… stupid of me." Austin sighed. "You… you just survived a bazillion bullets hitting you, and I thought… thought that I could stop you with me… pistol." He laughed, trying to breathe through her choke hold.

"Whoa… you're pissed." He said through his labored breathing when Athena didn't let up the pressure on his throat. He smiled at her though. "That just… makes you even more in…teresting." He chuckled. "You gonna… kill me?"

Athena noticed what she was doing, and quickly threw him to the ground.

You're not a killer, Athena. Get a hold of yourself. She had to tell herself. Her attention then went back to Austin, who was gasping for air on the ground.

"You're not worth the effort." She stated. "And I hope you like a padded cell, because that is exactly what you're going to get at Arkham."

"Hmm." He hummed with some amusement. "Well, you have fully perked my interest. I think I'm ready for more." He pulled out a button and pressed it before Athena could knock it out of his hand.

"What did you…"

Suddenly, she felt something prick her neck, and her eyesight started to black out as she dropped to the ground.

She slowly clicked on her belt, signaling to Batman that she needed help.

"Until next time, PG." she heard Austin chuckle. "Wait. Or should I say…" Before Athena heard anymore, she blacked out completely.
