Chapter 6: Parent Intervention
(Watchtower, training center, a few days later)
Chaos Chimera leapt over the missile fire. Red Arrow ran forward as he fired off several arrows, but the ninja dodged each one easily as he jumped in the area like an acrobat.
"I can see why Tigress was so annoyed when she was training with you." Red Arrow grunted, frustrated with not being able to land an attack.
The ninja rushed forward suddenly. Red Arrow grunted as he rushed forward as the string of his bow attached the the metal piece(s). The archer grunted as he swiftly swung it in a short horizontal arc. Chaos Chimera ducked under the attack then kicked out with his right foot. Red Arrow folded in two, the air instantly gone from his lungs as the foot hit his torso. He fell to his hands and feet, gasping in pain and surprise. Chaos Chimera stood up and over the archer. Red Arrow grunted as he looked up to see the ninja extending a helping hand. Red Arrow grunted as he took it and was helped up.
"She didn't tell me you had such a strong kick." Red Arrow grunted, locking his bow onto his back then adjusted his back with both his hands.
"I didn't use it on her." Chaos Chimera said.
"Yeah…I'm gonna be sore for awhile. Ugh…" Red Arrow grumbled in pain.
"Sorry, I tried to pull that punch…well, kick, as much as I could." Chaos Chimera apologized, worry in his voice.
"Gah, I hate to feel an attack full blast from you." The archer chuckled, pain still in his voice.
The archer grunted as he shook off the feeling.
"You gonna be ok?" The ninja asked.
"Give me about a week for my torso to heal and I'm good." The archer laughed.
The ninja nodded and started to leave.
"Hey, I didn't really ask to train with you to get the hell kicked out of me." Red Arrow said, stopping the ninja by placing a hand on his shoulder.
The ninja turned to the archer.
"I wanted to thank you for saving my daughter a little while ago." Red Arrow said.
"Tigress told you that as well?" Chaos Chimera replied.
The archer nodded in confirmation.
"I can't thank you enough for saving my daughter. I wish I had been there to protect her and her grandmother, but I grateful that you came by when you did." Red Arrow said, extending a hand.
The ninja shook it and they then exited the room.
(Gotham City, several hours later)
Chaos Chimera flew through the air in the form of a black owl, his eyes scanning the night. He found nothing as he landed on a roof then changed back to his human form.
'Nothing so far-' Chaos Chimera started to think until he caught a scent.
His eyes lit up with interest. A lithe yet strong hand ran along his back.
"So you're the one who saved the girl and woman several nights ago." A sultry, feminine voice stated from behind him.
"Hardly, I imagine despite her handicap that woman could've taken care of the mugger." Chaos Chimera replied.
The owner of the voice chuckled, amused by his statement.
"She is one hell of a woman. Though I didn't expect the infamous attack dog of the Justice League to be so humble and dismissive of his accomplishments." The woman said.
"You do realize Batman hates me?" Chaos Chimera asked.
"Anyone who knows anything about the Dark Knight knows he doesn't tolerate killing no matter the circumstances. I heard you put you in Arkham Asylum months ago, what was that like?" The woman answered.
"Stressful." The ninja grunted, the memories of being in that hell hole coming back to him.
"All that because of killing that lunatic, Joker. How did it feel killing him?" She asked.
"I don't enjoy ending a life. I did it to save another." Chaos Chimera answered.
"That detective? I hear you two are quite close." The woman chuckled.
Chaos Chimera growled like a wild coyote, believing the statement sound like the foreshadowing of or to be a threat itself.
"Easy now, I'm not trying to anger you. It's a real mood killer." The woman said.
The ninja felt something poking his back, and another something on his neck.
"Sais?" The shapeshifter asked.
"Ohh, so you know your weapons?" The woman asked with a chuckle in her voice.
"Sort of." The ninja answered.
The woman chuckled, but then her laughter vanished.
"Why did you save them? Answer me. NOW." The woman growled.
"It was the honorable thing to do." The ninja answered.
"Honorable? Seriously?" The woman scoffed.
The ninja sighed as he suddenly he grabbed the gloved hand with the sai at his throat then twisted around without the other sigh hurting his back. As he turned he let go of the hand in his grip. The woman grunted in surprise and irritation. The ninja raised his hands to show he isn't a threat. He recognized the woman from the League's database.
"Cheshire." The ninja said.
The assassin stood before the ninja annoyed and on edge.
"Why did you save them?" Cheshire snarled.
"I am no threat to your da-" Chaos Chimera started to say.
The assassin growled as she lunged forward, pinning the ninja to the ground. The shapeshifter remained calm as she placed on of the sai under his masked chin.
"Don't finish that sentence." Cheshire hissed angrily.
The ninja nodded.
"You going to toy with me until you finally tire of it then finish me off?" Chaos Chimera asked.
"Does it look like I'm toying with you?" The assassin scoffed.
"Have you ever seen a cat play with a mouse before it kills it?" Chaos Chimera asked.
"Don't change the subject." Cheshire growled.
"Very well. Be done with it." Chaos Chimera said, closing his eyes.
"W-What?" The assassin grunted in confusion.
"Kill me. That's what you want to do, isn't it?" The ninja asked.
Cheshire didn't answer, unsure of how to reply.
"I saw them in trouble and I helped them. I'm not so dishonorable as to have done what I did it wasn't to protect them." Chaos Chimera explained.
"You…You're serious…aren't you?" Cheshire asked.
"If you think I'm not…stick your blade through my skull." The ninja said, eyes opening and locked on the assassin.
Cheshire eyes shook behind her mask and they then closed. She put away her weapons then helped the ninja onto his feet.
"I'm sorry…I…" The assassin started to say.
The ninja put a calming hand on her shoulder.
"It's alright, they're your family. I don't blame you for acting the way you did." The ninja said.
She then hugged him suddenly and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Thank you for saving them. I should've been there to protect them, but you came just in time." She said.
He took on of his hands and gently placed his fingers under her chin then lifted her head up to look at his masked face.
"It's alright. They're safe." He said.
"Did my ex-husband thank you yet? I talked to my sister a couple of days ago, she told me what happened along with my mother." Cheshire said, ending the hug.
"He did. Wait, ex-husband? I thought you two got back together?" The ninja replied.
"No, he wasn't exactly happy I still led a life of crime." She explained.
"Odd for a vigilante to condemn crime." Chaos Chimera replied.
"*Chuckles* Indeed." The assassin laughed.
The assassin looked around.
"So…what were you doing here in Gotham?" The assassin asked.
"Patrolling." The ninja answered.
"Oh? And now?" The assassin chuckled.
"Uhh, I was done when we started this conversation." Chaos Chimera replied nervously.
"Easy boy, I don't bite, much." Cheshire chuckled, a smile under her mask.
The ninja gulped nervously, blushing under his mask.
"What's with you being so shy? It's kind of funny and cute." The assassin laughed, amused by the ninja's sudden change in tone.
"I guess I'm just an honorable fool." Chaos Chimera said.
"You are indeed." Cheshire chuckled.
Suddenly it started raining.
"What do you say we get out of this rain?" Cheshire asked.
"Sure." The ninja answered.
Several minutes later they found them on the outside of a penthouse suite of a hotel. The assassin pulled out a key from her outfit and opened the screen door of the penthouse then entered with the ninja behind her. She shut and locked the door then turned the lights on, and the ninja studied the suite. It is decorated with dark purple silk curtains and has steel gray walls, there is a brown lounging chair next to table with a lamp and bowl of fruit, on one side of the room is a large flat screen TV hooked up to the wall with a cabinet below it, next to the TV is a long white couch with black pillows, and on the other side is king sized bed with black pillow, with black frames and a black headboard, there a white silk sheets below the dark covers.
"Nice place you've got here." Chaos Chimera said nervously.
"Bounty hunting and some other jobs does get you some nice paychecks." Cheshire chuckled, removing her mask.
The beautiful assassin turned to the ninja, blushing under his mask.
"Take off the mask." Jade said, approaching the ninja.
The ninja removed his mask for her, his hands shaking as he did. The assassin grinned as she raised a hand to his face, her fingers slowly moving along his stubbled face and her eyes studying his.
"There that's better." The woman chuckled.
Her wild, exotic look and her sultry voice made the ninja gulp and blush nervously, much to the woman's delight. She grabbed his face and pulled him into a ferocious kiss. She turned him around and pushed him onto the bed. She turned out the lights then walked over and crawled on top of Drew.
"Ready handsome?" Jade chuckled.
"W-Whatever you say." Drew stammered.
The woman grinned then kissed him passionately.
(The next morning)
Drew woke up to find Jade still asleep. He smiled contently the leaned over and gently wrapped his arms around her. Jade purred as she woke up the turned and kissed him.
"*Purrs* I enjoyed last night, hell of a night." Jade chuckled, her breath hot in Drew's ear as she traced her nails down his chest.
"Glad I could give that to you." Drew replied.
She chuckled.
"Got any plans for today?" Jade asked.
"I'm free today." Drew answered.
"Good." Jade rasped as she crawled on top of him, her hands pinning his to the bed.
The woman grinned triumphantly as she kissed him again passionately.
