Chapter 13: The Rescue Part 1.
Jade groaned, a bright light shone in her eyes. "Wha.." she croaked trying to sit up only to struggle and end up on her back. "it won't work kid! She drugged you." a familiar, bubbly voice said. Jade looked over to her, eyes wide realizing who it was. "Holy crap! Barbara freaking Keane?" Jade cried. Barbara was tied to a chair, looking crazy as ever, yet super pissed. However, her eyes softened a bit. "In the flesh. She took Tabby...I came after her...But then Ed..well not Ed attacked me." Barbara said casually. Jade would've laughed had they not been in such an unfortunate predicament. "Umm Barbara? Do you know where she took Ed and Oswald?" Jade asked. Barbara tilted her head in thought, then smirked. "I think so. But I'll need you to do something for me first!" she chirped. Jade sighed, a bit annoyed, then said, "Okay I'm listening. What do you need me to do?" Barbara laughed a bit at Jade's grumpy expression. "You really are his sister! Except you're a bit more feistier! I like it! Okay, can you help me find Tabby? I'm sure she can help! Although she doesn't really like Ossie.." she said. Jade nodded knowingly. "Don't worry, i'm sure Tabby is fine. She's a total badass isn't she?" Jade asked, shit eating grin on her face. Barbara smirked, "Thanks kid! Also, she has your boyfriend too. I'd be careful little birdie." she said. Jade almost glared but shook it off and instead seethed, "That bitch is sooo dead! This is all Ed's fault. Stupid Ed not being capable to get some freaking wine and go home to Os!" Jade ranted. Barbara laughed loudly. "But think about it! If he never met her, you wouldn't have ever met your brother! And you'd grow up without ever meeting him. So if you think about, you should thank him and let Ossie yell at him." Barbara said. Jade looked up at her, surprised. "That's true. Can I at least never let him live it down?" she asked. Barbara giggled. "Well, what are little sisters for? Now we should find a way out of here! Don't need the world ending so soon right?" Barbara asked tilting her head. Jade sighed and soon struggled against the straps, she had never used magic without her pendant before. Suddenly, Jade bit back a scream as she made flames consume the straps holding her down and they instantly melted away. Quickly getting on her feet, she ran to untie Barbara who soon stood up, stretching. "Thanks again kid! You're a brave one aren't ya?" she said, eyes bright. Jade shrugged. "What's there to be afraid of? It's just the end of the world." Jade said. Soon, the pair sneaked out, Barbara stood behind Jade and unstrapped a knife from her ankle. Jade was quiet as a mouse, her baseball bat at the ready. Jade looked scared and unsure as crept through the dark hallway. She walked to the door at the end of the hall and jiggled the knob, and groaned in frustration when it wouldn't open. "Come on! Shit! Stuck!" Jade growled. Barbara giggled before, she pushed Jade out of the way, taking her hairpin and easily picking the lock and pushed the door open with a smug smile. Jade glowered, "Thank you. Could've done it myself though." she snarked. Barbara chuckled. "Mmm. Sure." Once inside, Jade looked down, seeing guys with huge guns below her. Moving quickly, she jumped on to the rafters and slid along a pipe on the wall.
She jumped down, landing on the catwalk, Barbara close behind her. 'Damn! This reminds me of Batman: Arkham Asylum!' Jade kept quiet, crawling on all fours. "LET GO OF ME YOU FREAKS!" Tabitha yelled. Barbara looked worried. Jade gave her a reassuring look. "She'll be fine. She's been through worse right?" Jade whispered. Barbara simply nodded. "I can take them." she twirled a knife in her hand. Jade sighed, "Go ahead Babs. Go nuts." Barbara giggled and went to do her thing, Jade kept close, seeing one thug walk on to the catwalk, going toward her, as Jade quickly hid, her back against a wall. "So this kid. She's Penguin's long lost sister?" Jade got ready to attack. "Yeah. The Master wants us to kill her." There was a scoff. "I bet she can't even fight!" Jade kept quiet until they got close enough. "She's just a stupid kid..Soon enough her brother will be dead by the hands of that Nygma guy." Jade glared, suddenly a scream and Jade took their moment of weakness and swung her leg out, the thug fell on his face with a shout. The other one came at her and Jade swung her baseball bat, hitting the guy on the face. Suddenly, loud blasts were heard. Tabitha Galavan and Barbara Kean were currently shooting and fighting any thugs in their way. Jade jumped down and landing on a thug who went after Barbara and punched him, knocking him out. Tabitha grinned at her. "Nice kid." One thug came up behind her, only for Tabs to turned around, cracking her whip. "Lights out big guy." Tabitha grabbed him with her whip and threw him down. "Tell us where our little birdie is please." The thug glared. "I ain't tellin you nothing!" he yelled. Jade put a switchblade to his throat. "Where's my brother?" she seethed. The thug broke. "She...she took them...to the therapy room...where Strange did those expeiriments a year back...please don't kill me.." Jade snarled. "I won't. But my two friends here will." Jade got up and turned away not flinching when the shot was heard. "Let's go." Tabitha said. Jade followed them, fighting her way through. She could Oswald scream. "OSWALD!" Jade yelled. She started running, more thugs coming at her, she growled, letting her mystic energy flow through her. She screamed, flames and dark energy flowing through her hands. Jade was a tornado, plowing through anything in her way. "YOU CAN'T WIN KID!" Jade glared. "WATCH ME!" she screamed and fired a bolt of magic straight into the thug's chest and he fell dead. Jade kept walking, eyes dark, her powers out in the open, hair flowing, she kept up her pace, soon bursting through the door.
Oswald was tied up, and struggling violently, Isabella glared at her. "How did you escape?" Jade smirked and dodged as a lighting bolt flew past her. "It's over bitch. I have friends more powerful than you!" Isabella laughed madly. "You will die here brat!" Jade dodged, shooting magic out of her hands, Isabella screamed, becoming weak. "Ed, darling. Get them!" she commanded. Edward came out from behind Isabella smirking, gun in hand. "Time's up little bird." he attempted to shoot her, only for Jade to jump out of the way, and fired a lighting bolt at him. "Ed! This isn't you! Fight him!" Jade yelled. Edward seemed to cry out, clutching his head. "NO! NO DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Jade glared. "You don't scare me asshole!" Jade hit him with the baseball bat, knocking off his glasses. "Let him go! NOW!" she yelled. Oswald struggled violently. "Ed.." Jade got an idea. She ran to Oswald, and quickly untied him. "Os! Now's your chance! Do It!" Oswald looked a bit nervous, then he limped over to Ed. "Ed! I know you're in there! Please! Can you hear me?" Edward glared darkly and shoved Oswald away from him. "I'm not him." Edward walked toward him menacingly. "Now you're going to die." He raised the gun, and a loud shot rang out, Oswald let out a yelp as he felt someone push him to the ground. He expected to feel the familiar pain of a bullet, only to feel nothing. But then, Oswald heard a surprised gasp. Jade. He saw her standing where he had been, clutching her stomach. Pouring bright red blood from her stomach. "JADE! NO!"
I originally planned something else but i wanted to add suspense and make this a two parter! Hope i didn't upset anyone. The Nygmobblepot scene is the NEXT chapter! Not this one! Sorry for any confusion. I don't want to seem like an ass. :)
