"Knees bent, arms up,"
I threw another punch at Red Riding Hood. Ever since that night, the night she saved me, I've been training with her.
She appeared several nights ago and told me she saw 'potential' in me. The older woman said she wanted to recruit me for her 'team'. A team with people like me. People who were different, or as she put it, 'special'.
One thing I noticed about Red Riding Hood, was that she was a tough bitch. She was nice and sarcastic before the fighting, but when she got to training and fighting, she showed no mercy. If my elbow was just a little bit out, she would sweep me under the feet and make me fall on my ass.
"Why are we doing this?" I asked, craning my neck
Red Riding Hood sighed "I told you. I want you on my team. To help you become more than what you are,"
What the hell did she mean by that? I felt my anger grow "And what is that?"
"Lost," I froze at her answer…
"What do you mean by that?" I asked, getting out of fighting stance.
Red Riding Hood jumped off the fence and stood up to me, well, more like sashayed. Putting a hand on my shoulder she said "You are lost. Being in that gang changed you. They turned you into someone you aren't," Surprisingly, she pulled of her hood to reveal not a woman, but a girl. Probably eighteen or seventeen, beautiful no doubt. She was really just a kid, like me. Well, a teen. "When I was about your age, I was filled with anger and hate. My powers were uncontrollable and I was dangerous. I was lost. I made decisions. That was until my aunt, my friends, family, my boyfriend, they fixed me. They brought me back into the light. That's what I want to do for you,"
I stood there, speechless for a moment "If I'm going to trust you and accept you help...tell me your name. Your real name,"
"Scarlet Nguyen,"
"Ah!" I screamed in pain. The sharp shocks of electricity broke me from my flashback. The pain stopped and I opened my eyes slowly.
I was in a pod. A black pod with a see-through red glass. Where was I? The last thing I remember was being knocked out by Tuppence Terror, that bitch. And...the Cave! It was, it was...destroyed. By Aqualad and his goons! When I get my claws into him, I'll make him pay-
"Ahh!" My thoughts of revenge were interrupted by searing pain. I felt my body start to weaken once more just as I saw a figure approach me. All I heard was clattering and clanking. Nothing else.
As my eyes began to open, I felt my capsule or whatever, being opened. Attempting to fight back, I reached out a claw and swiped, only to miss.
There was clattering once more and I felt something be injected into me. And then, it was dark once more.
I know that was short, but my computer broke and I'm writing on my Mom's who is kicking me off of it. I promise, as soon as it is fixed, I will update! Also, I was able to publish my Flash, CW, fanfic in this short time! Please check it out!
