I certainly don't own anything, DC does.
Hey, so this will be really short, because honestly, my school has this thing where they try to give you all the work in one go. *sigh* Enjoy!
"Where are you going?"
"Nothing. I'm going to see the sights."
"What, in Gotham? You know it's dangerous. At least let me go with you."
"I think I can handle it, if three guys in spandex can," Lana said rudely. Then she bit her lip. She hadn't meant to be sharp, but Tim was getting a little overbearing these days. And she needed to be alone sometimes. Some time to think.
"What, the Joker is a walk in the park?" he snapped, looking annoyed.
"I'll be fine," Lana said as she walked away.
"Lana-" Tim sighed. Maybe he was getting too much on her back. But she could be a little headstrong.
Lana walked through Gotham, enjoying the relative calmness. It was dirty, and dark, but the scenery wasn't what she came for. It had been more than a week since she'd gone on any mission, and she was starting to get restless and bored.
Suddenly, massive pain erupted at the back of her eyes. Someone had hit her. Clenching her fist she whipped around and punched her. As she tried to raise her gun, Lana kicked her in the stomach.
"Now's the time you run away," she said coldly.
"I'm not afraid of you," she giggled, "Little girl in a big city, even if she can hit. My puddin' will take care of you."
She heard a maniacal laugh, and then she got tasered.
"Well, well, well," the guy's voice sent chills up her spine. "Aren't you the same girl the little boy blunder hangs around with? Word is he's got a new girlfriend. Oh well. Say, maybe we can get some money out of this."
"You're holding me for ransom?" she asked through clenched teeth.
"Well, sometimes even masterminds are a little short of cash. I'm sure we can make him hurry a little bit…"
Dread coursed through her, and she tried to struggle. The bonds were too tight, and soon she gave up, exhausted.
As always, I'm always open to reviews! Thank you for reading :)
