Chapter 11

Dakota bus station

At the greyhound station a old japanese man in a white kimono with long fingernail walk off one of the large buses heading for his begs

"Here you go sir, hope you enjoy you're stay in Dakota and thank you for riding greyhound." the attendant said as the old man nodded.

"I'm sure I will." said the old man with a smile picking up his two big bags and walking out of the Station, stopping outside it was easy to flag down a cab, once he put his stuff in the trunk he got in.

"Where to mr-" the cab driver trail off waiting for a name.

"Curator. Curator will due and I'd like to go to the mary Inn in Parris Island." Curator state and the driver nodded getting a move on while Curator set back looking down at a picture in his hand of a young dark skinned child between the ages of seven or eight, (Time is slowly but quietly moving forward. Though the things to come are still a ways off, I think it would be better for Virgil Hawkins if I give it to him now.)

Justice Mountain

To put it mildly, it was a slow day for the young heroes of Mount Justice. Impulse and Wonder girl can be seen walking down the hall of their HQ just looking for something to do, having run out of things to argue about, and their lips were inexplicably and severely chapped. Turning down a hall they saw Robin come into view hoping he had a mission or just something to do they rush up to the Boy Wonder.

"Yo Robin! Wait up." Said person turn to see the two running over to him causing the him to raise an eyebrow.

"Hey, you know how Kid flash is doing." Robin ask Impulse knowing Kid Flash was badly hurt just last night.

"Relax, Zatanna and Dr. Fate fix him up good as new." Kid Flash said relieving Robin some.

"Good to know but speaking of Zatanna, do you guys know where she is." Robin ask having been looking for her. Artemis spoke up.

"I think she still in the Com room."

Zatanna sat at a computer terminal scanning the the New on Dakota over the Net, since her meeting with Witchblade she had been trying to find out everything and anything about the girl that she could but it seem she haven't got enough recognition yet by S.T.A.R. Labs, as she wasn't in any database. She was just finishing her research, when Robin, Kid Flash and Wonder girl walked in.

"Hey Zatanna, what are you doing here." he immediately asked, surprised to see her really in the computer room.

"Hi Robin just doing some research." Zatanna replied getting up and walking over to him, Robin was pal's with the leading teen hero in Dakota maybe he can give her some clues.

"You haven't by chance heard of a female hero called Witchblade have you?" Zatanna ask causing him to raise an eyebrow at the name not sure who that was.

"Can't say I have, why?" replied and Zatanna sigh at another dead end.

"That odd from what little intel I could find she seem to be working with your old buddy Static." That had his eyes widening behind his mask, having just partnered with Static last night, the bang baby said nothing about having new team members.

"It funny you should bring him up." a new voice broke in, turning to the door everyone saw it had come from none other then Nightwing. The first Boy Wonder. "From what I hear you two had a little meetup in D.C. yesterday."

Robin glare back at him knowing he, Static, and Gen were being still bland for what happen in London six months ago by many hero in the league and on the team but at this point Robin really could care less.

"Yeah what of it?" Robin snapped walking past him. "The Arrows, Black Canary and I need back up, end of story."

"Now if you don't mind I have somethings to look into." Nightwing sigh as Robin walk away, things hadn't been the same after what happen in London truth be told he didn't blame like so many others did for the... altercation. It wasn't anybody's fault, but it's still left a bad aftertaste to a lot of people.

Zatanna walk over to Nightwing knowing very well that the two would have to make up on their own.

"Thank for letting me use the computer here but I think it time I headed back to the league, been gone tooo long as it is." Nightwing smile at his old crush.

"Sure really thankful for you helping out these past few weeks." Zatanna return the smile and kiss him on the creek before leaving.

Dakota-She bang

Jumping from building to building we see She bang head moving left and right at top speed trying with all might to find the red Corvette with the women who had left her the note, She bang didn't know how the lady knew but did know this, she needed to find this lady and nip this potential complication in the bud.

"Damn this isn't good!" She bang mutter as it had already been 30 minutes with no luck of finding her, pulling out a shock box she knew it was time to call Gear for help, but then a red dot of light blinded her left eye for a moment as she jump back and look up to see it coming from a large parking out above her.

"There you are." She bang mumble jumping as high as she could just reach four floor shy of the top landing on the sixteenth floor rail guard she bent down and power jump to the top getting least fifteen feet over the top and doing three flips and the sir landed just a few feet away the blonde haired woman who was leaning on her red car and at her feet was a small silver briefcase.

"You take you're time getting here, eh Shenice." She bang growl, not just at how openly the women was using her real name but also at knowing who this woman was.

"You were the liaison agent Mr. Furumizu sent to work with Ashton Biotechnics, Nora." the woman now know as Nora just kept her blank look.

"I was, but I no longer work for the NSWF. Just like you're no longer their lab rat." She bang growl again at the shot.

"So what now? You're working for Ashton Biotech full and here to take me back."Nora roll her eyes at that not even taking it as a joke.

"Hardly those guys were just tools to farther me, nothing more." she said before picking up the briefcase at her feet.

"Then why are you here?" She bang ask knowing full well she had to have a reason for tracking her down like this.

"There are two reasons why I'm here, one is to give you this." Nora open the briefcase showing a seventh inch syringes holding some kind of pink liquid inside.

"What that?" She ask taking a step back more wryly then before of Nora.

"This is the shutdown serum needed to undo the genetic block in your body." now as wryly as She bang were of this woman even she had to give a confuse look at that.

"A genetic block, what the hell is that?" Nora actively look abit annoy at that.

"The easiest way to say is that this serum is to remove the block and allowed you to using your other powers. She bang frowned.

"Other powers? What other powers?! My parents would told me if I had other powers." She bang replied, Nora raise an eyebrow at the girl in dark amused.

"Parents hmm? If you say so but I'd keep an eye on those two if I were you." Nora said closing the briefcase and throwing it to her, She bang caught it with one hand and look down at it back Nora who to her surprise was getting back in her car.

"Hey I'm not taking this! and where are you going?" She bang yelled as the lady close her car door but rolled down window.

"If you don't feel like taking it now then just keep it for back up." Nora said starting her car then driving over to her, stopping right in front of the superhero.

"As for where I'm going, it wherever I please. But don't worry I won't say anything about your Secret." She bang eyes narrowed at her.

"I why should I believe you?" Nora just smirk at the question.

"If I haven't said anything about it this long, then why would start now, Shenice?" She bang frowned at the continue use of her name and knowing she had a point, (But that could just mean she want to use it for blackmail later.) She bang thought knowing she'd have to be careful of this woman. Turning away Nora's smirk take on a dark edge to it.

"As for reason two, while you may not trust me, don't you think the two Veils are the ones you should be keeping a watch on?" She bang scowled wondering what she was up to now.

"Because while you most certainly do have seal away power I can't help but wonder why they never told you." the red cars wheels screen as Nora drive off, leaving behind a wide eye She bang as what she said process in her head.

"What?"

one.

Movie theaters at Dakota westside mall

Virgil can now be seen sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting for Yuri to come back with their food and drinks and hoping the night goes well, while he was more than happy for Shenice ask Richie, it was kind downing seeing them going out and he not have anyone.

"You can't do this!"

"Shut up and get in there." turning to his right Virgil saw three guys pushing a kid around his age in the back of a room and nobody was stopping them. Look over to Yuri he saw she had about six or seven people in front of and looking down at himself curse a bit at what he was wearing, a white button up and black pants, (Got to make this quick, and not mess up my clothes.) Virgil thought getting up and heading after them.

And the back the a room, Sam one of the staff worker couldn't believe his luck at running into this punks again.

"You realize won't get away with this right?" Sam said trying to reason with them as they pick up chairs and whatever else they could find to be use as a weapon.

"Maybe but at least we'll get some payback." one of the guys with red hair as Sam's eyes hard.

"Payback?! Payback for what, me telling the supervisor you guys were stealing from the safe at not night!" Sam all but yelled know if he was gonna get beat up them he won't cower to them beforehand. "You guys got what was coming to ya!"

"Maybe, but now you're gonna get what coming to ya, hero." said another one of the guys who was bald and holding a pipe he found.

"Huh, did someone just call my name?" Virgil cut in causing three to turn and see the dreadlocks teen smirking at them.

"And who the hell are you?" one of them yelled while Virgil's smirk never left his face.

"I guess the guy who is about to beat the crap of three scumbags." Virgil replied have heard everything what was said and was ready to go. The bald one had a nasty smile on his face as two more came from the back, one holding a crowbar and the a big wrench.

"I think you mean five." he shot back venomously.

"That works to." before any of them knew what had happen Virgil had rush over to the guy that had been doing all the taking and punch him in the gut his face was face was comical; he doubled over, like he'd been folded in half, gasping for air... before being knockout by a punch to the nose.

Virgil grimaced at watching blood spray on his button up, (You've gotta be kidding me...) he didn't have much time to dwell on it as one of the guy pal try to hit him with a chair ducking under it Virgil side step the guy with the wrench grabbing by the head in smashing it into a wall. now mad the guy with the chair begin swinging wildly at him not paying attention to where he was aiming as Virgil duck under one swing and ended up hitting the with a pipe in the face knocking him out.

"What!?" he stop to gasp leaving himself open to be punch in the jaw, knocking him out, he was about to take a breather -ACK!- when someone grab him by the back of his shirt nearly choking, thinking quickly he elbowed the guy in the nose causing him to let go then gave him one last go punch to the face knocking him out.

"WO-WOW!" Sam exclaimed watching the end of the fight and wishing he could have done something like that.

"Damn." Virgil mutter at seeing he got even more blood on his back, sighing he turn to see if the worker was alright but and blink at the manikin in back of him, it had on a staff outfit that included at blue button up. "Hmmm."

Yuri had just got out of line holding a larger bucket of popcorn and two cokes, looking around she frowned at seeing Virgil nowhere around.

"Now where he go?" Yuri mutter.

"Hey Yuri over here." she had Virgil call and turn to see him walking over to her but then raise an eyebrow.

"There you are, uhh wasn't you're button up white?" Yuri ask walking over to him handing him the popcorn then wrapping her free arm around his.

"No it was blue the whole time." Virgil replied hoping she'd believe him, Yuri look said she wasn't to sure but let it go for the moment.

"Whatever, come on the movie about to start." Yuri said pulling him with her, while walking away neither of them neither of them notice the staff work watching the two go as the guards drag the knockout ex works away, Sam tightens his fist.

"So even a guy like Virgil who just a few months ago was just like me but is now beating bullies up and dating a hottie like that!?" Sam was anything but happy and stomp away.

Back with Virgil and Yuri

They had just gotten there in time as the movie started, it was call snow white and the huntsman and thank to the sitting the two were very, very close together. Snug was the word that came to mind, Virgil trying to get comfortable and hoping to give himself just a little more room reached his arm around the back of her seat. Yuri noticed this at once.

"Wow, kind of working fast, aren't you, Vir?" Yuri said with a sly smirk causing Virgil blush at the girl.

"What! NO! I was just try to get some more room!" Virgil tried to explain.

"Uh-huh," she replied, digging into the popcorn, great now he didn't know if she was joking or for real and he really wanted some popcorn but with it in her lap and the black dress she was wearing coming down only halfway to her thigh he was afraid to reach for it.

NSWF Company

Mr. Furumizuwas once again sitting in his office while sipping champagne and overlooking some paperwork when Dr. Nishida walk in.

"Dr. Nishida you're back," he said putting down the papers. "How about some champagne it of the finest vintage."

"I'll pass thank you." Nishida said walking over to him and set a white package on his desk.

"Just as you ask tickets to the Dakota museum expo and hotel reservations have all been set and waiting." Mr. Furumizu smile glad that had been taken care of, getting up he walk around his desk and over to Nishida placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Good work I'll tell Maria and her friends, why don't you head home and get some rest." Furumizu said and Nishida nodded.

"I will, but I might ask why are we flying all the way to Dakota just to attain a museum expo?" Nishido ask, there were a lot more important things they could be doing, (Like tracking down Nora and finding out who the hell that man Jackie Estacado was that attack us with that woman.) she thought.

"Why? The reason is a very simple one." Furumizu replied walking over to his window.

"Takayama is going." Nishida eyes wider a immediately knowing where this was going.

"You- You don't think."

"That he has found the Witchblade, I'm sure of it." Furumizu said, his spy had reported that Takayama had been focusing a lot on Dakota and he had no business there that state.

"I see then I'll make sure Shiori is up in running by the time we leave tomorrow." Nishida said getting a nodded from Furumizu she bow and left as he kept looking out the window with a grim smile. (You'd better keep your guard up Takayama... or you might get Burn.)

Back with Virgil and Yuri

Virgil had to sigh as the movie went on so far things seem to be going great for him as Yuri really seem to enjoy it, she shifted towards him, moving arm on top of his and grabbing hand, he didn't notice it at first, but blush when he did.

She also liked talking back to the screen. It was barely above a whisper, but a smile crossed Virgil's face as he distinctly heard her. They stood up at the same time and found themselves very close together, as Yuri wrap her arm back around his and headed up the ramp out of the theater.

After a quick trip to the park Virgil and Yuri had a nice quiet walk through at night, they walked along in silence, taking in the atmosphere of the park forest around them. A playful smile came to Yuri's face and she began to gently bump into Virgil, until he finally turned and looked at her.

"What?" She said an innocent look on her face, having a feeling he knew what she wanted Virgil carefully place an arm around her and Yuri gratefully drew in closer as the two walk over a birge and stop to stare at the koi pond under the bridge lit up by the moon. The evening was perfect (Okay think about your next move man, don't mess this up and- oh who am I kidding I'm gonna screw this up in someway or forum and she gonna kick my-).

"Hey Virgil." Yuri whispered, turning to her he saw her face moving close to his slowly and he just froze not sure what to do, then at last their lip met and everything just seem to flow together as he wrapped his arm around her and she place her hands on his chest deepening the kiss and the world around them seem to fade away.

To Be Continued.

Virgil and Yuri share their first kiss, aww! But dark clouds are moving toward Dakota as Mr. Furumizu make plans for Yuri and who is this old that seem to have known about Virgil since he was a child?
