Chapter 5 The Pack

Helena walked out of the alleyway where she had stopped to get changed back into her uniform. " Much better." She thought to herself as she climbed up to a rooftop so she could get a better view of the nearby streets. " Shouldn't be too hard to find a seven-foot monster." She thought as she began to search for Löwe. " The problem is beating it when I find it." She said thinking back on her last fight with it. " I can't let it hurt any more people though even if it means getting thrown around a bit." She stopped where she was standing as she heard a distant scream. She ran across the rooftops to the source of the scream and saw it slowly walking toward a woman who was sitting on the ground holding her ankle. " Already stalking other girls, I guess I was just some one night stand." Huntress said as she landed on the street below. " Shit." She whispered as she realized this thing wasn't Löwe. The creature was about 5'5 and was covered in black fur and had claws and fangs just like Löwe's. The creature turned toward Huntress and let out a roar. " You might want to get out of here. This may get messy." Huntress said to the woman who was on the ground. " Now let's get this over with." Huntress said trying to buy some time for the injured woman to limp away.

The creature charged forward as Huntress finished her sentence. She tried to dodge the creature, but she was injured and the creature was fast. As the creature slammed her against the wall she let out a slight shriek. She felt as if her rib cage had just been smashed in. " Get off me." She groaned as she delivered a headbutt to her attacker. The creature stumbled back and Huntress took advantage of this by performing a jump kick to the creature's chest and then a series of punches before it could recover. The creature grabbed Huntress' hand, but before it could do anything else Huntress began to knee it in the stomach. The creature fell to one knee and let go of Huntress' hand. " It's no fun if you give up." Huntress said as she kicked the creature across the face. As the creature began to stand up Huntress tried to knock it back down, but it would not fall. The creature slammed its arm into Huntress' chest sending her across the street. She screamed and grabbed her chest. The creature walked forward toward Huntress limp body. Huntress turned and saw the creature approaching, but was into much pain to do anything, but watch. The creature leaned over Huntress and began to sniff her. With all her strength she kicked at the creature's jaw and sent it 20 feet through the air. " Now I know I'm not that strong." She said as she sat up and saw Dinah and Reese on the street corner.

" Are you okay?" Dinah said as her and Reese ran toward Huntress.

" No, not really, I can't move." Huntress said fighting the urge to pass out. " Where is it?" Huntress said looking around for the monster that almost killed her.

" It got away, but that should be the least of your concerns. Look at you, you need to rest." Reese said as he looked to around to make sure the creature was gone.

" I tell Barbara we found her." Said Dinah as she began to talk into her communicator.

" We should go home soon we're not safe with this thing roaming the city and with me injured." Huntress said as she tried to get to her feet, but fell before she was halfway up.

" Actually no one is going anywhere. I don't like it when people try to kill my creations." Said a man walking down the street.

Huntress stared in disbelief as the man from the night before walked down the street with Löwe and her most recent attacker right behind him. " We should get out of here fast." Huntress said as she looked at Dinah and Reese.

" I'll second that." Reese said as he picked Huntress up and began to run toward his car pulling Dinah with him.

" Kill them all except the Huntress I have plans for her." The man said as he gestured for his two creatures to attack.

Reese opened the door and placed Huntress in the back and ran around to the front door, got in and started the car. " Reese, you should hurry up." Dinah screamed as Löwe ripped the door off the right side of the car and the other creature jumped on the roof and used its claws to tear a way into the car.

As the car began to move Huntress began to kick at Löwe face to get him out of the car. " I am having some trouble back here. Can I get a little help?" Huntress screamed as she fought through her pain to attack Löwe.

" Be there in a second." Dinah said as she used a psychic blast to send the one on top of the car flying into the street.

Huntress realized she was dead the creature grabbed her waist and pulled itself forward, but suddenly let go and fell out of the car. " Nice shot." She said to Reese as she saw him looking back at her one hand on the steering wheel the other wrapped around a gun pointed at the back of the car where Löwe had been. " Let's get home fast." Huntress said as they drove further away from the two creatures.

" It's ok my pets. We will get her next time, but for now we should get you fixed up Löwe." The strange man said as he walked toward a limo with the two creatures behind him.
