-LAPTOP IS ABOUT TO DIE! SO NO REVIEW REPLYING! HOPE YOU ENJOY!
She kicked the metal door slightly, trying to urge it to open. Adrienn was at the old shipping dock. Her father had many cargo containers here, all of which were now under her name. She decided that with the right positioning and interior set up, she can install a few false bottoms. These compartments served her well with storing her equipment. She never had to worry with police finding her secret stash of guns and other weapons. Adrienn tied her hair into a high bun, making sure that it won't bother her.
Taking a duffel bag she began to load up some weapons that she thought would be necessary. She and Bruce had agreed on a certain game plan. One which did not involve her doing much. That she was not too keen about but she figured out a way to get past his commands. Agreeing to everything he proposed seemed to make him calm down. All she had to do then was follow her own plan. That included wiping out anyone she encountered that had a part with the whole of bringing Gotham down.
Adrienn had everything ready in the bag after a couple of minutes. Everything from an RPG7 to a small hand grenade could be found stashed in the bag. Now it was for her attire. Her previous… uniform was stored at her apartment. She had no time to go back and don that, so she would have to go for her training outfit. This consisted of worn out black jeans, which had many rips in it, obviously from all the abuse that it had to endure during Adrienn's sessions. The jeans also had a lot of pockets stitched to the side, making it look more like cargo pants. Adrienn jumped into the old jeans, feeling the rush hit her again. She wanted revenge. Adrienn quickly stashed some explosives that she had assembled many years ago in her pockets. Not too many though, she always had to take care with the amount she uses. The last thing she wanted was to constrict her movement.
Adrienn fastened a gun holster around each thigh, and placed a SIG P220 in each. Adrienn switched out her shirt for a tight fitting tank top and removed all bracelets and jewelry from her body. Recognition was not needed at this point. She fastened a dual holster around her upper body, and placed a double barreled shot gun in each as well. Finally fastening her combat boots, she was satisfied with herself.
She went back to the dirt bike, which was her main form of transport. Donning into her leather jacket, she closed up the cargo container and kick started the bike. Making sure the duffel bag was safe around her shoulders, she kicked off and headed towards the Narrows. The earpiece Bruce had given her was all set up; she intended to keep in touch with him. She didn't however want to listen to his orders.
Adrienn's plan was to ditch the bike, get into the Narrows somehow and head to the roofs, where it was easier to locate her targets. She was out for revenge. She wanted to prove that it wasn't good to mess with her. Her plan consisted of getting to Ra's. She wanted him gone, especially after Bruce explained to her how they were going to take down the city. If that wasn't possible, she was happy to take care of anyone that had aided him on this idiotic journey of his.
Adrienn took a sharp turn, making a few cop car skid to a halt. She didn't care at this point. If she died or survived, she needed to take down some people. Driving like a woman possessed, she got to the Narrows. The entire place was on lock down but she had a plan of getting in. All she needed was a SWAT car.
Hiding out behind a dumpster she waited patiently for the truck to turn the corner. There was only a couple of minutes for her to jump on the truck and climb to the top undetected. The truck rolled up, and she readied herself. Taking a running start she jumped up and hauled herself on top of the car, making sure to stay as low as possible. The thud that her body crashing into the truck caused didn't matter, since the driver wouldn't over hear it. People were running around, panicking. There was police officers yelling out orders. Adrienn was positive that they wouldn't hear her struggles. They let the truck in without even stopping it. Adrienn waited for a good place to jump off. Once she was out of sight from the guards by the bridges, she jumped of the truck and began to walk the other way, dodging the people who were running around in panic. She brought her hand up to the earpiece and adjusted the simple black masquerade mask, she used to keep her identity hidden.
"I am in." She said quietly, beginning to scale the roof on the dingy fire escape. "I am on the East side."
"Good. Adrienn. Stay hidden and be careful." Bruce warned in his deep and husky voice. Adrienn rolled her eyes and mocked Bruce's worried expression, before setting down her duffel bag. "Adrienn…" Bruce repeated. Adrienn looked up quickly, just to make sure she was alone and he wasn't watching her. He couldn't have known what she did…
"I am not going to stand around." Adrienn stated, checking one of the Berreta handguns. It seemed to be fully loaded. No problems with it as far as she could tell. "I am just going to go down and make sure the thugs stay away from harming people."
"Thugs?"
"The inmates. Keep up with me will ya?" Adrienn teased a little, as she strapped two hunting knives onto her boots. "I will try to stay safe."
"Do not kill anyone."
"I am not Batman. I was trained for this. I will not stand around and wait for justice to get these rapists and psychos."
"Adrienn!"
"STOP!" She yelled into the head piece. There was a scream from down below. "See! Look. The guy is attacking a woman… wait… Rachel?!" Adrienn whisper screamed as she leaned over the ledge further. The woman who was being groped by the inmate was indeed Rachel. What on Earth was she doing here?!
"Adrienn don't you dare shoot. Rachel may get in the way." Brcue demanded. Adrien rolled her eyes again as he continued to blabber on about how she could take him out. No. She wasn't that type of person. Taking aim at the guard below, she waited a few seconds before firing a shot. Rachel screamed as the gun flew past her head and embedded itself into the inmate's neck. "Adrienn. That was too close." Bruce's voice said in her ear.
"What?" She looked up and saw Batman standing on the roof of the opposite building. A smile crept its way onto her lips. "Don't under estimate me." She warned watching as Rachel regained her composure and began to back away from the inmate, probably heading to where the police were. "I know I've been absent from all this for quite a while. That doesn't mean I forgot though. I am only getting started…" Adrienn felt the rush of excitement and fear take over. Adrenalin was pumping in her veins at this point. She had the RPG7 strapped across her back and she had placed many more guns on her body.
"You look like a walking armory Adri…" Bruce noted, gliding over to the roof she was on. He looked more intimidating in his suit. She understood how people feared him now… "Just becareful… but if you don't get Ra's by the time I signal you, please just go find Gordon okay?"
"Deal… I will watch over the inmates and find Ra's don't worry." Adrienn said confidently, adjusting the strap of the weapon on her back. Bruce tried to keep a straight face but his lips twitched ever so lightly, giving away his emotions. He couldn't deny that no matter how much he hated the fact that she can take human life so easily, her enthusiasm with trying to help was amusing. She helped in her own way, but at the end of the day she helped.
"Just please be careful." Bruce cupped her cheeks, wanting to make sure that he will be able to hold her like this after everything went down. She smiled, resting her small glowed hand on his.
"I promise, Batsy." She said in a smooth voice, "Care to give me a lift down?" Adrienn asked, leaning over the edge of the building. This woman had him around her little finger. She really did. Bruce held her small frame close to his and stepped over the ledge in one swift movement. He landed softly and set her down on the ground. "Thank you." She smiled and simple turn to walk away. Bruce shook his head and stepped back into the shadows, starting his quest.
Adrienn used her knowledge of the Narrows to navigate her way to the center. From what she heard of the inmates and various shady people that she passed the police were gathering up everyone in the center of the Island. She decided to try her luck with finding Jonathan there and just improvise from that point. Her main objective was to find Ra's or anyone connected to him and take them down. There was one major problem though.
The inmates. Most of them were affected by some sort of drug, so they were acting more irrational than when they were first put into the asylum. Basically all the reasons that they were convicted for seemed to have doubled in them. As soon as Adrienn stepped out of the alley ways all she could see were people in orange jumpsuit offending others. Two years ago, she would've easily walked passed them, staying focused on the plan. But since then she had grown a conscience.
"That isn't a way to treat a woman." She called, her voice coming out smooth and calm. The man who was in the middle of pinning down a woman against the wall and trying to force her shirt over her head stopped, and looked up at her. Adrienn had a leather jacket on, which covered most of her weapons. The inmate was clueless to the fact of how over armed she was. He walked closer to her, dragging the woman along with him. He was not going to lose her.
"Oh really sweetie?" He seethed. Adrienn frowned as she smelt the stench that was coming from the man. "You want to know how I treat a lady?" He inched closer to her, slowly putting his hand on her shoulder and trying to pull her closer. Adrienn didn't budge and it angered him. "You bitch!" He yelled, raising his hand in the air as if to hit her. Adrienn dodged his fist and spun around to his side, sending a kick to his arm. He screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.
"Go." Adrienn said to the woman, "Stay hidden. Don't trust anyone." She warned. The woman nodded frantically and turned running away. The inmate turned to Adrienn and took a running start at her. At this point he was furious.
"I am gonna teach you a lesson… I guess you like things rough." The man took swung at her from all directions, but Adrienn managed to dodge all his blows. She managed to get a punch in and that gave her enough time to lean down and get one of her knives out.
"Yeah I do." She said smoothly, stabbing the man in the ribs. He coughed up some blood before falling to the ground gasping for air.
"Was that really necessary?" Alfred's voice sounded in her ear. She decided to ignore him and kicked the body to the side. At this point there were four inmates closing in on her. All of them were big and quite bulky, unlike the guy she just took down. She was aware of the fact that her fighting skills weren't as good as they used to be so she opted for the easier method.
Her hands wrapped around the SIG P220s, pulling them up and sending four bullets into the chest of the inmates. She didn't even bother putting her guns back in the holster. The massacre was about to start and she couldn't be more glad about it. She jogged over to one of the inmates she just shot and stepped on his chest. He was still alive.
"Scarecrow. Where is he?" She demanded, pointing the gun at his head.
"SWAT members were talking about breaking him out… a man in a black suit… I don't know." The man coughed, the blood trickling down the side of his mouth. He was clearly in the right place at the right time to have heard and seen that information and Adrienn was very lucky with finding him. Adrienn smiled, tilting her head to the side sweetly and removed her foot from the man's chest. He closed his eyes, looking relieved, "Thank you… thank you…" He mumbled.
"For what?" Adrienn asked before sending a bullet right between his eyes. She made her way out of the square and headed for the alley ways taking direction towards the Asylum. Lifting her hand to the earpiece, she decided it was time to in from the others of her findings. "Batsy, the SWAT is shady. Some of them are all with Ra's… don't know which though."
"I am working on it." Bruce's frustrated voice came through the other end. She smiled, quickening her pace into a jog. Adrienn felt another surge of adrenalin pulse through her veins as the buildings blurred in front of her. She knew what she had to do.
Once the front of the building was in sight, she ducked behind a dumpster, keeping her presence unknown. There was a SWAT car parked out by the front. Whether they were the real deal or not was a mystery to Adrienn. This Ra's guy must've had a lot of people working for him. He would probably have a whole team just protecting him and then many others scattered around the islands just to make sure everything was going according to plan. Then obviously, there was going to be a team that will handle the Scarecrow. Adrienn decided to risk waiting to find out whether she was lucky again or not.
"Oh thank God…" She muttered seeing two men escort Jonathan out of the building. He had a stray jacket on. Adrienn smiled, allowing herself to lean out more to get a better look. There were five men. All of them armed. They all had a submachine gun. Adrienn squinted her eyes to get a better look, "Heckler and Koch… UMP9…" She muttered to herself. Leaning back behind the dumpster she decided to go against stealth kill and just face them head on. Scarecrow should get a little frightened from the petite girl. She straightened, standing up from behind the dumpster and putting her thumb and index finger in her mouth, whistling loudly to get the attention of the men.
"There!" They yelled and pointed. All of them began to shoot at her. Adrienn ran at them, dodging the bullets. She lifted the guns in her hand and shot at the guards. Four shots went straight through their heads and one was directed at the foot of one of them. She needed to get information after all. Jonathan ducked behind the pillar as all the shooting went on. Adrienn walked to the wounded guard and leaned down.
"Where is Ra's al Ghul?!" She demanded through clenched teeth. The man laughed. Adrienn didn't like it when no one cooperated. She placed the gun to his hip and pulled the trigger. The man cried out in pain as the bullet went through his bone. Tears streamed down his face. "Now… where is he?"
"I won't tell you." He cried. Adrienn got up and shot his hip again, leaving him there to suffer. She didn't think he deserved to be killed instantly. "Now… let me ask you then…" She turned to Jonathan. "Where is Ra's?!"
"It is too late now." He muttered. His eyes were hazy, he didn't seem to be a hundred percent. "It is too late…" Adrienn scoffed at him, grabbing the back of his head and smashing it into the concrete. She sat down on one of the guard's dead bodies.
"Nothing new." Adrienn said into the earpiece, taking a few moments to think. How would they get something to through the entire city? In aerosol from. She understood that. But the only way to reach all of them with the weapon that was stolen from Wayne Enterprise would need something that ran through the entire city, or most of it at least. Then it hit her like a thousand bricks. The train…
Adrienn stood up, sprinting to the nearest stop. She didn't inform anyone, time was off the essence to her. Any inmate or cop that was doing wrong, she took down without a second thought as she bounded through the alley ways. Adrienn had to face this man. The man who had the idea of destroying Gotham.
As she thought, he had a whole team of people protecting him. This time she didn't even care to conceal her presence. Adrienn fired bullet after bullet at the guards, taking them down with great accuracy.
"Kill her." the man in the black suit said. She knew he was Ra's al Ghul. The urge to shout something at the name was strong but she stopped herself from doing so. The guards rounded her and she ran out of bullets. Dodging a couple of their shots, she threw down two smoke bombs.
"Where'd she go?!" They asked, shooting randomly. Adrienn held back an urge to laugh as their bullets nearly killed each other. She sneaked up behind the guards and took them down by breaking their necks or suffocating them, whichever was an easier option.
"It is too late now." Ra's smiled devilishly. She spun around and looked up at the tall figure. "I've been watching you. Jake has been an excellent spy… he served well. Until you killed him that is. You should think about joining our circle… Adrienn."
She blinked at him. Jake was connected to the League of Shadows. That is how he knew about Bruce's presence. This man was Bruce's mentor when he travelled the world. Bruce should've left him for dead. Damn his conscience. Adrienn glared up at the man, taking a couple of steps back from him. She calculated the situation. He would take her down if she attempted to reach for her shotguns or her knife. This wasn't looking too good, but she had to trust her abilities at this point. She couldn't have been that out of practice.
"Adrienn… you would make a great addition. Especially with your past… and being the daughter of one of the greatest Assassins…"
"My father was a good man." She spat, not even giving her sentence a second thought. She didn't know that for a fact, but she was not going to let this man talk down.
"Your self confidence is amusing." Ra's laughed bitterly, taking a step forward. "Join us and learn real power Adrienn."
She had had enough at this point. She spat at his face, which clearly took him off guard. Adrienn didn't waste time, she jumped up, kicking him in the chest. He was sent flying back shocked at the power she had in her. A smile appeared on his lips and he threw his cane to the side. "You are no math to me."
"I sure as hell can try!" Adrienn growled, running at him.
"Look at you. It is clear that firearms are you expertise. You fight like they do on the streets, Adrienn." He mocked her, dodging every punch she sent at him.
"I cheat." She agreed, faking a left hook and then kicking his injured leg out from under him. He fell to his knees and she managed to send to straight punches at his face. He seemed unfazed. Adrienn was panting heavily at his point and decided to step back from her attacks a little.
"You are no one." Ra's said, grabbing his cane and striking her right across the head. "Shame really…."
The world around Adrienn started to spin as she fell to the ground. Then everything went dark.
