DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters or places from the WB's show and comic. References to Spider-Man and Batman don't belong to me either. Some of the villains and heros may seem familiar, but I've moditified some of them to my liking. So, they aren't the same exact person. Did I leave anything out?
Birds Of Prey LADY SCARLET
Chapter V: In The Know
Huntress enjoys feeling the gusts of wind whip by her as she leaps from rooftop to rooftop with ease. She makes a stop at a rooftop filled with chimneys to scan the busy street below. Helena taps on her bat-shaped earring, "Oracle. It's Huntress. Nothing new tonight. Coming home. Huntress out." In seconds, she volts off the building, sky diving to the ground way below.
Minutes later she enters the Clock Tower. "Sheesh! The city was quite like a graveyard! Seriously, that's scary-" complained Helena, stripping off her leather coat. "I mean-" suddenly she looks up and frozen.
Across the room, stands the stranger from the other night. She's leaning against the table talking to Barbara. Scarlet's clad in deep blues, blacks, and (mostly) crimson. Long, silky, auburn (brown-red) hair with silver streaks up in a ponytail. Wearing a red shirt with a black spray painted spider design. (A/N: In the Spider-Man movie, the costume that Peter wore to the wrestling competition, the same shirt that Scarlet's wearing. But, her's is styled for a woman.) A black skirt hugging her hips, web net (A/N: fish net) stockings covering her slender legs, and red high heeled boots that stopped just below the knees. She wears a choker, like Huntress', and dangling earrings with a red and black spider designs. As soon as Scarlet sensed someone coming, she quickly whipped her skin- tight mask back on her face. (A/N: The mask is like the lower half of the Spider-Man's face part of the suit.)
"You!" Helena yells out distastefully. Leaping to the couch, then pushing off to land near her.
"Wait! Helena!" interrupts Barbara. But she's ignored.
Flying through the air, Helena mover her feet forward to do a double-team slam at Scarlet's head.
With a Thwip, Lady Scarlet dodges the blow. Springing upwards to land on the upper floor.
Huntress stared daggers at her, readying her body to leap.
"Helena, don't. Let us explain the situation," reasoned Oracle, putting a hand on the siren's shoulder to calm her down.
"Why?" Helena answers coolly.
"Because I'm not what I seem to be, to you," came the web-heads response from above.
"Okay. Then who are you?"
"To my enemies, I'm known as Lady Scarlet. To you, I can prove to be a useful alley."
"About as far as I can toss you," muttered Helena.
"I bet that's now very far, or is it?" challenged Scarlet.
"Ooh! That is it girl! Pound you to the moon!"
"Oh my! Temper, temper!" shot back Scarlet, feigning mock horror.
"Ladies! Let's be civilized here!" interrupted Oracle. "Scarlet's now here to fight. She's here to talk." She heaved a sigh and rubbing her temples.
Huntress reluctantly relaxes the tension of her muscles.
Scarlet back flipped off the landing. As she's falling to the floor upside down, back to the ground, shoots webbing to the ceiling. With hands as fast as lightening, Scarlet creates a small net with the loose ends. Letting go of her creation, does a small sumersault in the air. Scarlet makes a 10 point landing on her web seat. She settles in the seat, then looks up at the shocked faces of the sirens. "Whoa.," spoke the two in awe.
"So where shall I begin?" spoke the calm web-slinger, sounding like she didn't need to catch her breath.
"Uh.," stammered Barb. Coming out of her bewilderment, "Just tell her what you told me."
Acknowledging this, Scarlet begins:
"Sandra is my alias name I tell people when I'm traveling or undercover. My real name is Josilyn. Josilyn Reilly. My father is Ben Reilly. You may know him better as the "Scarlet Spider." Back in his days, my father fought along side the famous "Spider-Man." They go way back more than I have time to tell. But, that's a LONG story.
I live with my parents in Queens, not far from NYC and Bayville. To make a long story short, in my early years of high school, when I still gymnastics, is about when I discovered my meta-human abilities. At practice, I could jump higher than all the other girls. Plus, I was more flexible! But, the weirdest part of it all, was when my hands and feet started sticking to the bars and balance beams. When I got home and asked my dad, he told me everything of his past soon after that, I stopped showing up for practice.
A few days later, my family and I went to have dinner at the Parker's house. That's where I found out about Peter being Spider-Man and his daughter, May, Spider-Girl. The Parkers offered me the opportunity of a lifetime. They asked me if I would like to fight crime along side May! I couldn't believe it! Of course I said yes, after my parents agreed. So, everything was set, after I had some training. But training was a total sinch! My father rewarded me with a Spidey suit of my own. The designs were somewhat similar to May's, but mine was all scarlet with irredescent blue spiders. Eventually, I got tired of using that suit. I wanted to wear something more comfortable. Since I wanted to wear more casual cloths, like Huntress here, it'd mean that I could only how my face at night. So, May and I decided to do our job in shifts. May would get the day, and me the night. Whenever May needed help during the day, I'd wear the spidey costume. Only working part day was a life saver! We both had the time to have a personal life. Less stress is good.
Okay! Down to business! I came to New Gotham by accident. I was tracking down Devil's Snare, who you met last night, Huntress."
"Helena," she corrected her.
"Helena, I meant," continued Josilyn, "I've heard that he has connections here. Have you guyz been keeping tabs on him?" She almost added "at all," but that'd be rude.
Sadly, no. Haven't been able to find that sucker all night," answered an exasperated Helena. "Damn him! Andy's sure good at laying low.," mumbled Scarlet.
"Who?" Oracle asked curiously, "Excuse me. Did you just say Andy?!"
"Yeah. Why?" responded the confused web-slinger.
"Dinah left here a few hours ago, saying she was taking an 'Andy' to the meta-human club!!" exclaimed a worried Barbara.
Everyone froze in silence.

sorry it took so long to update! My laptop has been acting like a real butt lately. Is the pace of this fic a little slow? Well, the next few chapters will have some more action. Since finals are coming up, I have less time to update =( oh well. Have any questions? Nuff' said!
