(1) We actually did this, it was hilarious!

Hey guys! This is very near the end of this instalment of SWD, but the next will be SWD: ... Again? I hope you enjoy it :) In this chapter, we find the identity of the villain.

WARNING: SECRETS, BARGAINS, A CLIFFHANGER AND MEMORIES FROM THE FIRST EVER SWD INSTALMENT.


NOBODY'S POV

The girls let Knife, Sword and Dagger cuff their wrists as they walked into the Washington building they had been directed to by the mysterious villain.

"Am I the only one mildly curious as to who this villain is?" Astrid asked, as she was herded along the corridor with her friends.

"Yeah, that is kinda annoying actually," Quanta shrugged.

"Male or female?" Bella pondered.

"Human or not human?" Grace smirked.

"I think the better question is whether they're cuckoo or not,"Astrid grinned.

"Shut up!" Knife barked, shoving Astrid forward. Lydia cracked up laughing.

"Hey Bella, trip over a dying man and it will be our English trip all over again!" Quanta chuckled.

"What happened on your English trip?" Knife, Sword and Dagger remained quietly curious.

"We were going to see a play on World War 1, and someone acting as a General shouted in Astrids ear, asking why she was walking so slowly. She replied it was because she wanted to, and the General shoved her. And Bella tripped over a dying man and told him to die quietly," Quanta grinned. (1).

"Why am I surprised?" Anna sighed, rolling her eyes.

"We're here," Dagger droned, leading them out of the cold, windowless hallway, into a cold, windowless, and rotting room. The floorboards creaked with every step, the entire building groaning under the weight of it all.

In one corner of the room, there was a multitude of screens, and a large black chair that inhibited the sight of whoever sat in it. One screen showed the release of the entire League. They all rubbed their wrists where they had been chained to the wall, except Batman. The Dark Knight looked deep into the camera, before a hand came out from the chair and turned it off.

"Just to show my end of the deal was upheld," the villains voice filtered out from the darkness, the dainty fingers that weren't held in shadow gesturing in a circle.

"Whatever. What do you want from us?" Grace growled, seemingly angry.

"Revenge," the villain stood up, and walked round the chair, leaving only her face in shadow.

"I swear that's all anyone wants around here," Lydia sighed.

"Pretty much," Sword giggled, before one of her sisters hit her over the head.

"Revenge for what?" Anna asked, stepping forward slightly.

"My brother," the villain stepped completely out of the shadows, her brown hair up in a ponytail. "Oh shut up Charlie!" She snapped at something nobody else could see. "Yes, I know she killed you. It was not my fault! Yeah, I staged it, but that was so we could get intel for them. Shut up and let me talk."

She turned back to the group of girls, Knife, Sword and Dagger, and smiled brightly.

"She has so lost her marbles," Bella nodded vigorously.

The villains eyes sparkled, "do you recognize me, Astrid?"

Astrid gulped, eyes flying everywhere but the villains. "I do."

"And my name is?" The villains face twisted into a grotesque smile.

Astrid finally looked up, her green eyes meeting the villains grey blue. "Lara. Your name is Lara."
