Link collapsed onto the ground out of breath from the effort of running through endless simulated jungle. From inside the operations booth, her military trainers said only 4 words "get rid of her"
Link was obsolete she was one of the oldest and most unsuccessful of the military's genetic experiments. When she was created an unexpected flaw in her elbow forced her creators to construct a new bone structure for her elbow using titanium rods mixed with a newly discovered metal so it would grow and change with the rest of her body. Unfortunately this metal had a reaction with her blood modifying the DNA and allowing her to control magnetic forces. The military general ignored this at first thinking that if she didn't know it wouldn't hurt anyone, this however was not the case. When she was angry all metal objects (bar her arm) melted and hissed, when she was upset all metal around her concaved and bent out of shape. Her captain named her Link, this was not usual, most experiments were referred to as their numbers, hers was 752 and that's what the rest of the world would know her as until that fateful day when she failed yet another simulation.
She was on the floor when they walked in. She popped her elbow back into place before sitting up and looking towards them. She looked at them. This was the first time that they had come into the simulation room. Then she noticed what they had behind their backs. A ph 32 mm rifle loaded with six poison tipped bullets was aimed and fired at her. Her military reflexes kicked in as she used her magnetic powers to reverse the bullets and drive them straight back at the shooters. She watched in horror as what she had done sunk in while her officers sunk to the floor leaking blood. The room around her, mostly made of metal was collapsing and bending as she stood paralysed with fear. The alarm went off as she ran through the corridors and out onto the surrounding field. She didn't stop running until she got to the top of the North hill where she turned and looked for a moment at the smoking building which was her only home.
She was only 11.
Naomi stormed away in a huff rounding a corner and kicking over a dustbin. The words still burned freshly in her mind as she turned another corner and headed into an alleyway.
"Leave the saving for the men and just go home to your mommy and you're easy bake oven." He had said, after she had practically saved his life. Well at least at first, as soon as he had said this she had beaten him up with extreme prejudice and let the criminals that she had just apprehended escape.
All this she was going through just to help others she thought as she pounded the wall with her fists. She leaned against it and fell sobbing to the ground. The truth was that she would have loved to do what he had said if she had a home to go to.
Both her mother and father had died when she was born from Typhoid Fever her mother living just long enough to whisper the words "Welcome to the world Naomi."
She had been illegally adopted by a man named Ricky Joel who used her as well as about 20 other children as child labour. She was only 7 at the time but she did know the difference between right and wrong. She had eventually set a trap enabling her to call the police and have him arrested. The police however had wanted to send her back to an orphanage but she knew that at her age no one would want her and ran away to the streets instead. Since then she had self tutored herself to fight and had taken a liking to helping others out. Then the idea struck her that she could become the sidekick to a superhero and help everyone. It however was not as easy as she had expected because every superhero she applied to turned her down because she was female, not to mention short for her age.
This was however the last straw. She was not going to get kicked around by a bunch of grown men who dyed their underpants and wore them outside a pair of tights, as she very lovingly demonstrated to him by giving him a wedgie and hanging from a pole.
She quit trying and just started living in the streets. She trained herself in many different ways of martial arts, gymnastics and basic street fighting. She was one of the toughest kids on the street and wasn't afraid to let people know. Of course sometimes she bit of more than she could chew. But hey she's been in a situation she's not been able to slip out of.
Has she
Aigle cried softly as he held her limp body in his arms. He cried and cried as objects flew around him and melted. Aigle was the son of Mick Rory aka Heat Wave and was weeping over his dead mother. He knew that this day would come but had always tried to forget it. His mother had been poisoned by so called superheroes because they knew that she was pregnant with the spawn of Heat wave. They had been unable to do the deed themselves and had hired a common thief to do it for them but naturally he cut corners merely putting a mild poison into her drink. With the help of her closest friend she was able to fight it and give birth to Aigle. She raised him until he was 12 when her body suddenly gave up and she died. His telekinesis and firepowers were useless and he buried his mother in a grave at their house before leaving the area in attempt to put it behind him. Torn he left to the streets of Gotham city taking out his emotions on those foolish enough to stray from the protection of their gangs. Never able to forgive the world for the injustice to his innocent mother, he went to the dark side isolating him from others and ambushing people who strayed away from their gangs. He would spend much of his time trying to control his powers and found that the mediation his mother had taught him indeed worked.
"Hey you freak get away from me!" the old lady cried after repeatedly whacking Jaren over the head with her handbag, "Police! Police!"
Jaren flew away. At least he had been able to save her from that mugger but this happened all the time. Jaren was part alien his mother being a Tamaranean and his father from Earth. His father had kept Jaren at home tutoring him and feeding him so that he would never have to go outside and face the real world. In the end it was for the worse as when he suddenly died Jaren was left to feel the full brunt of humans and their hate for anything different. Everywhere Jaren went he tried to use his powers for good. He would save kittens from trees, children from burning houses and banks from robbers. Yet everywhere he went and for every good deed he did he was treated worse and worse and worse. The cats would scratch and bite him while the owner would storm away with the cat muttering that freaks should mind their own business. Children would cry when he touched them, their parents would scream and the brigade would yell at him. The robbers would call rude comments while the people in the banks would comment and stare and once they even tried to have him arrested. He was good-natured and never allowed it to stop him from doing what was right but deep down he found it indescribably unfair that superheroes were praised while he was thrown to the gutter along with yesterday's trash.
Link walked along the rooftops of the city trying to get back to "her" alleyway when something caught her eye. A small yet seemingly powerful girl was cornered by 'The Black September' a notorious street gang renowned for the lack of evidence against them.
"Whoa that must of hurt!" she thought cringing as the girl got kicked "maybe I should help"
And with that Link charged in to fight by the girl's side. She ran straight into a giant oaf of a man and knocked him over with a rather rugby like tackle, just as he was about to grab the other girl. The men stood shocked for a moment at how easily a thirteen-year-old girl could knock out a man of that size. The men regrouped around the two girls.
"And you would be?" the girl asked quietly
"Uh-now may not be the time for intro's" Link answered noticing that the men were closing back around them.
"Good point"
They continued to fight valiantly until the last of the gang retreated back into the shadows. Unknown to them a dark stranger looked on taking in everything.
"Okay now will you tell me your name?" Naomi asked
"Link" she answered
"Well I'm Naomi" Naomi said in a bright and cheery voice
"Pleasure" Link answered in a monotone voice
"Are you always this monosyllabic?"
"Meh"
"Wow you sure proved me wrong!" she said sarcastically
"Meh" Link retorted
"You're not much of a people person are you?"
"Yea well if you hung around the people I had to hang around you would understand." She said whilst having some flash backs of her past.
"Yea well you're in Gotham now." Naomi said sensing that she had hit a bad point
"No duh I've been here for the past 2 years." Link added as she shook the images from her mind
"And have they been as bad as your childhood years?"
"Well…if you don't consider friendless and permanently hungry then yea it's different."
"Well now you're not friendless and I have some food back in my alley so lets go." Naomi said in her cheerful voice before jumping up to the rooftops and leading the way.
Over the next year Naomi and Link became an ace team, able to take out the toughest of gangs. This of course gave them more than a few enemies but singularly they were not a threat and sometimes Link didn't even have to use her powers. This was until two of the main gangs the black September and silver serpent decided that teamwork could work for them as well.
One not so pleasant night these gangs cornered Link and Naomi.
They were then pinned up against the alley wall by the pride of the Silver Serpent Katarl a literal giant. Unable to move they braced themselves for the beating of a lifetime when all of a sudden a barrage of purple Star bolts knocked Katarl unconscious.
"Three against 20, I like those odds"
A boy came and flew down next to them.
"Nice shooting," Naomi said, "And you are?"
"Naomi you have the most inappropriate timing in the history inappropriate timing." Link said as they readied themselves for battle.
They fought valiantly yet again until each member of the gangs turned and fled.
"Good fight. So" she paused looking for a conversation starter "what's your name?" Naomi said as Katarl finally regained consciousness and fled with his fellow gang members.
"You don't want to know. I'm just a freak!" He said as he started to fly away
"Wait!" Naomi called after him, "Link's a freak too!"
"Gee thanks Naomi." Link said sarcastically.
Jaren looked unsure for a moment but the flew back and landed next to them.
He extended a hand, "Ok then, I'm Jaren."
"And I'm Aigle." Said a dark voice from behind them.
Aigle was bored. He had overheard the Silver Serpent and the Black September planning an ambush and wanted to watch but so far it looked like they had either forgotten were really late or turned chicken at the last moment.
Just as he was about to leave he saw both parties coming.
"This is going to be interesting," he thought as he once again crouched in the shadows.
They two girls held their ground until Katarl, the pride of the Silver Serpents pinned them both against the wall.
"It's over." he thought as he turned to walk through the wall when all of a sudden a barrage of purple energy blasts knocked Katarl down. He watched as a new boy and the girls fought again and whilst introducing themselves he jumped out and attacked.
Naomi gasped but it was the only thing she could manage before she was surrounded by black as it tightened and clung to her, binding her arms, legs and mouth.
Jaren was next as he was swept into the sky and into an orb a black. He could feel his energy leaving him as he fell to the ground.
Naomi sat helplessly and watched as her new friend was drained of all his energy and slumped to the floor next to her unconscious. Link was next she thought as she struggled with her bonds.
She looked up in time to see a very angry look on Link's face. She smiled. When Link was angry it usually meant that someone else was about to be very, very, very sad.
Link screamed as she was kicked to the ground by a heat wave. This would have usually sent a normal person into a coma for a decade but then of course, Link wasn't what you would call normal.
He came close to her and looked down.
"That was too easy." He said just in time to receive a kick in the face from a very much un-comatosed Link.
Using her magnetic powers she pulled at the chains that were attached to his jeans. Forging them into metal rods she used them to pin him up against the wall pushing down harder and harder.
"Do you really want to see me angry?" she asked in a dangerously sweet tone.
He looked her down. She was pretty in a blood red hair 'I'm going to kill you now' sort of way.
'Black widow.' he thought as he shook his head.
They were suddenly interrupted by the sound of sirens.
All of them turned and shouted, "Their after me!"
They looked at each other shocked.
"They're after you?"
"Yea see I don't particularly care about you guys so can you please let me down?" Aigle asked.
"After you let Naomi out of that…thing" Link said
"Fine." he said as he used his powers to lift her into the air before releasing them.
"Ow!" Jaren screamed as Naomi landed on top of him.
"Hehe? Well on the positive side, at least you're awake?" Naomi said guiltily.
"Hello?" Aigle added.
"Fine." Link said as she let him fall to the ground and 'accidentally' letting the rods fall on top of his head.
Aigle had an enormous headache.
"Ow" he said calmly.
"Now that we've got that under control" Naomi started in an unnecessarily cheery, yet slightly sarcastic tone "I suggest that we, RUN!" She screamed as the cars closed in on them.
Every one split up each followed by at least one car as they ran or in some cases flew as fast as they could.
Nymphie continued to walk along the streets thinking of her family. She had told them of the strange star that was coming closer and closer but they had ignored her. She then herself just for the sake of it had gone into the bomb shelter. After emerging she found to her horror that she had indeed been right. Her home and town was now merely a smoking crater all thanks to some idiotic superhero who abandoned his ship.
Nymphie was not the type to hold a grudge but was in fact quite the opposite. She was sweet and kind-hearted although every time she thought of her family and how they died bitter feelings welled up within her.
She wept silently as she continued to walk along the street. She had wandered her home planet for so long it seemed to be permanently imprinted on her. She remembered that one night as she walked she saw an image of her family. They had told her to move on, that they were proud and that they wanted her to still live life to the fullest. Determined to make her family's wish come true she left the planet and moved to Earth determined to make a fresh start. This fresh start was about as fresh as a month old Tamaranean pudding of sadness.
She walked past by a small child who was crying over a dead flower in a vase. When she had asked what was wrong the child told her that she had intended to give it to her mum as a gift by some boys had trampled it. Feeling sorry for the child Nymphie used her powers to revive the plant to its prime state.
The girl smiled at Nymphie but at that moment the child's mother came out and yelled at the child for speaking to a "Freak".
"What do you think you are doing? I thought I taught you better than that? Come inside immediately."
"But wait," Nymphie called, "Could you please direct me to the…..train station?"
"Hmph." The woman said as she stormed into the house and beckoned her child to follow.
The child looked back at the strange girl and pointed down the street. Nymphie smiled and walked on.
"Excuse me, pardon me, I was wondering if OW! Could you not elbow me in the ribs!" Nymphie said as practically everyone treated her as if she wasn't there.
She walked on not knowing where she was heading. She turned a corner into a deserted street just to be run over by four teenage rouges from all directions.
"OW!" they all said
"Oh sorry about that umm…purple chick." Naomi said
"Purple chickens? I did not know Earth had them." Nymphie replied.
"I was talking about you." Naomi said.
"Oh, I am Nymphie," she started brightly but was interrupted by the sound of sirens coming from all directions.
"Uh oh." Jaren, Aigle, Link and Naomi said unanimously.
"Is something the matter?" Nymphie asked.
"Know this, we are in the right." Link replied.
"Ok!" Nymphie said as she stood up and created cracks in the asphalt.
"She doesn't ask many questions does she?" Aigle said
Suddenly everyone jumped as giant carnivorous mutated plants rose from the ground and started attacking the police cars.
Naomi was the only one able to speak after seeing this and said, "Remind me never to get on her bad side."
The teenagers ran away and left the police to deal with the plants.
"Wow I mean I thought I was the only freak in Gotham and now I've met three in one day!" Jaren exclaimed
"Gee thanks!" Nymphie Aigle and Link said simultaneously.
"Hehe!" Jaren said a bit embarrassed.
Over the next year they bonded becoming the best of friends until one day they met a strange man in a mask.
He called himself Slade.
