Scarlett POV
Blood pumping, heart beating fast, feeling sweat drip down the side of my face, yep this is what I needed.
'I clench my fists at my sides, concentrating on the object in front of me, the safe box that we haven't been able to physically open, but I want to see if I can get my power to open this thing, I swear I'm close! Maybe if I try to just…
"Freeze!"
I pause, not moving,
"Yeah that's what I thought, you had better do as I say, or I will shoot you in the head!"
I look to my right where the voice is coming from, I've been sat at my desk so long doing this I didn't realise that my neck had cramped,
"Now you are going to access those files you got, and then you're going to send me money – all the money from all your dumb ass clients and then I want information! I want information on some people so I can find those bastard and kill them!" he says, I look at him carefully now, tanned skin, black hair in a ponytail, ripped jeans and over large jumper, both of which are dirty and I can see bits of blood stains on the pants.
In his hand is a simple hand gun, wow he's brave,
"Am I to understand that I have done you wrong? Perhaps you got on the wrong side of someone?" I ask, still not moving, I want him to feel in control, that way he'll talk.
Before I kill him.
"Oh yeah, you did me wrong bitch, you were supposed to have me in on a big job, one with diamonds and jewels and I was promised that job last week – only I wasn't given that job! My name SOMEHOW wasn't called upon and so I got to hear about it on the news, what the fuck!?" he shouts, I frown at him for this, now remembering him, he was a whiney dick one who wanted everything given to him on a silver platter.
Slowly I start to get up, my eyes still on him,
"S-stop moving! I will kill you! I will blow your head off!" he shouts, I sneer at him for this, not even moving before I look to his gun and will it out of his hand and into my own, the look on his face is priceless.
I sit back down in my chair, looking at the gun bored then to him,
"You seriously thought that this would kill me?" I ask, he really must be stupid if he did,
"W…well its either that or-" but he doesn't answer as a gross squelch noise sounded from behind him and he falls forward on the floor face down, and I sit up a little to see a…boomerang in the back of his head.
I tilt my head back slightly curiously, a boomerang?
"I have an appointment"
I look up from the Australian accent to see a man leaning on the door frame looking down at the man on the floor.
I look to my desk calendar and then to my watch,
"Your late, but considering the circumstances I'll let it slide" I say, sitting back in my chair, inclining for him to sit in one of the chairs in front of my desk,
"Will I be getting a bit of discount since I just saved your life love?" he asks, I smirk at him for this, but then hover the gun that was in my lap to have it aimed at his head, he freezes at this,
"What makes you think I was in any danger, Captain?" I ask, smiling lightly, he nods at this, looking from the gun to me,
"My mistake. Happy to help" he says, I grin at this, bringing the gun back into my hand,
"Many thanks all the same captain, at least this shows I know how skilled you are, I have to admit a boomerang isn't the first weapon of choice for a lot of people" I say, bringing his file up on my computer,
"How long will you be staying in Gotham?" I ask, noting on his file that he mainly resides in his trailer in a secluded area in Australia dark areas.
"Depends on what's to offer here in Gotham" he says, and I don't miss the flirt, I roll my eyes, searching a little more into his background, not finding much wrong with his work, except for a couple of things and one big one,
"You don't work well with others captain, I can't have you being put in a team and you killing the rest of the team for the full pay, that's not how it works with us. Which means you'll have to be put on one man jobs and most of them are not very profitable, although if you do enough then you could do well" I say, looking to him in question to see what he wants to do.
"Nah I'm not so good with the sharing of the loot, but if the jobs been run you, and we all agree on an even split then I swear I won't kill the others for the full pay" he says, looking solemn, I narrow my eyes at him for this, not sure I believe him,
"I haven't met you before, I don't trust you, you've not earned it, and I don't want to put you with others if you're going to kill them, I'd have to kill you for that' I say, he looks down at this, scratching the back of his head,
"Do you want to go away and think about it?" I ask, leaning back into my chair, his eyes look up to me from this,
"No, I know what I need to do, I'll try with a team, but maybe also give me a green light when there's some one man jobs?" he says, hmm I'll have to put him with people I know can handle themselves, and warn them about him too, if he kills the others to get the full pay then not only will that reflect bad on him, it reflects back on me ten times because it can be looked at as an inside job, like id orchestrated the whole thing.
"Alright no problem, I'll add you on and you'll get a message with your first job. But captain I swear if you cross me, I'll make sure those boomerangs go so far up your ass they pop out of your eyes" I say, looking at him darkly, making sure he's taking me seriously, and from the look of fear and that gulp, I think he gets the message.
"Yes ma'am" he says, then after taking the boomerang out of the guy's head he leaves the room. I take my phone from on top of my desk and message one of our clean-up crew to get to get rid of this guy's body and to clean up the mess.
I get up from this, leaving the hand gun on the table, I don't want it, I have a better one anyway.
"Angel!"
Seriously what now?
I hurry down the stairs but I'm met half way up by Johnny, the look on his face makes me freeze,
"It's Jay, he and some men were captured and he's been taken to Gotham Asylum" he says, my eyes widen at this before hurrying back upstairs and running to my desk to get onto the computer, bringing up the news and information about the arrest,
"What the hell was he doing in that damn factory, and why wasn't I made aware of him going there!" I shout, hearing that more people had come up to join us.
I bring up the security cameras, watching my brother being taken and watching him fighting…of course it was him, that goddam bat!
"That bastard bat!" I scream, slamming my fists on the desk, seeing that black ass on the screen watching my brother being chartered off in a police van, he must think he's all big and tough, well we'll see about that.
"Boys, I want trouble, I want as much trouble as you can make, and not just in one place, I want it done all over Gotham, I want the batman tearing at backs of his fucking head, knee deep in our shit that he gets a bullet in him for how unfocused he will be from us" I say, hearing the men cheering.
"That's one team, we'll call you the A Team, now go and have fun – and anyone I find that has shot he batman will be getting a bonus! Now I'm also going to need another team, a slightly smaller team, I want a team to tell me all about Arkham asylum" I say, looking up at all of them, deadly serious, this town will bleed for what that damn rodent has done.
No one takes my brother away from me.
