She smiled evilly, "Get you a code name and costume!" I raised my eyebrow, why did that sound so much more sinister than I knew it really was?
"C'mon!" she shrieked and ran off towards the door. I slowly turned away from the screen and walked after the girl. When I got to the door I just stood there for a moment then slowly pushed it open. Surprisingly, being forced onto a super-villains team wore off a lot of energy! When I finally got the door open Bella was already at the end of the hallway.
"Hurry up! We need to get there right at closing! Otherwise all the good stuff's gonna be gone!" Then she bounded off down the hallway, shouting how Benny didn't wait for anybody, whoever that was. So I hurried up, I mean the girl probably knew twenty different ways to kill me! When I caught up to the little energizer bunny she was practically bounding off the walls. When she saw me she turned and pushed on the wall, more specifically a brick on the second row, third across. I would need to remember that if I ever needed to leave.
A secret passageway opened up and we stepped through. As soon as our feet touched the alley in front of us the passage closed up behind me, almost closing on my heel. I stepped forward and glared at the seemingly innocent wall, like that would do anything. Bella grabbed my hand and dragged me forward, making me slip on some sort of goo on the side of the curb. Scowling I kicked it off and glared at the girl. She just smiled innocently at me and pulled me forward. "Hurry!" she whined.
This girl was starting to annoy me. I mean seriously if she said to hurry one more time she was gonna end up as a speed bump on the highway. I let her lead me until we reached a grungy store. Every single window was boarded up and there was at least eight padlocks on the door. It was covered in grime and sludge. It looked like even rats had been afraid to come here cause there were no holes in the door frame or the foundation.
Smiling she walked over to the door and did this cliché secret knock thing, very dumb if you asked me. But a moment after she did so the door swung open and a small man stepped out of the shop he looked at Bella then at me. Frowning he grabbed both of us and pulled us inside.
I pulled back from him and straightened out my jacket, I mean it was vintage! We had been through a lot together. The man glared at me then turned to Bella, "Whadda want?" She smirked then turned and started looking through the bins of clothes that were scattered everywhere.
"She need new.. clothes." she gave him a look and nodded towards the back door. The mans eyes lit up.
"Ah, I see! Well then your lucky. Just got a new shipment in yesterday!" He turned and padded towards the back of the building. One he got to the door he reached into his pocket and took out a key-card. He quickly slid it into a slot on the side of the door. The door opened and he stepped in. Not waiting for us he walked on, his strides long and impatient. When we reached the end of the hallway he turned left and pushed a button set into the wall, revealing a room entirely made of glass cases. And in each case was a...costume?
He turned and looked to the two of us, "Be quick about it!" Then he walked off. Bella looked over at me and pushed me towards what looked like changing rooms. "OK so your name determines what your outfit will look like and stand for! Since this is your name we are choosing how about you decide? And it needs to stroke fear into the hearts of those that hear it! So no Pink Power or Cute Dancer k?"
I rolled my eyes, but nodded anyways. "So whats your name?" she threw open the door to the changing room and stuffed me inside. She glared at me then shut the door. I could hear her walking across the room and started to get undressed. "So what is it? Not that embarrassing I'm sure!"
"My code name is Bella, cause I don't fight, so I don't need a code name. I just use my healing ability's on the others when they need it." I could feel her smirking at me, even from across the room.
"Fine... whats your brothers code name?" I heard her groan and I smiled, good she was getting a taste of her own medicine.
"Its Red Hawk, and don't ask why cause I don't know. Its a boy thing I guess. And before you interrupt me Iggy's code name is Inferno."
I chuckled, "Very original!" A shirt was tossed over the door of the stall and I grabbed it from the air. A white tee shirt, really. "You have got to be kidding me, this is all you have! We have been in here for five minutes!"
I heard he scoff, "Well you haven't come up with any code names so far!" I glared at where I thought she was, "Fine how about Black Domino, its simple but effective!"
I could hear her humming, "Let me see..." All of a sudden a black leather jacket with white racing stripes down the sides came sailing over the door, along with a matching pair of spandex pants. I wrinkled my nose, spandex pants? Who wore these any more?
"Put that on with the tee shirt, oh and these!" She slipped black combat boots under the stall door. I glared at her, even though she couldn't see it and pulled on the shirt. The pants were harder to get on, and I ended up barely having enough room to breathe. They were like skinny jeans, and let the boots slide on easily. After pulling on the jacket and zipping it up about halfway I unlocked the door and stepped out.
The younger girl gasped and brought her hands up to her mouth, "Its perfect, but it needs something.." She trailed off and started walking around while I went over to a floor length mirror. I stood in front of it for a moment with my eyes closed, finding comfort in the blackness. After a few moments I slowly opened them. To find a stranger staring back at me.
I mean my hair looked OK, but the black spandex pants were just strange. They were so tight I thought that my legs were going to get all of the blood cut off. I liked the boots, and the top half of my body looked good as well. But this just didn't seem like a superheros outfit to me.
"Here it is! The finishing touch!" Bella ran over, but tripped on her long skirt, stumbling and eventually falling right onto her face. She threw herself up, "I'm OK!" Then she sheepishly glanced over at me. She reached out her hand and held out a belt and mask.
I took the belt and slowly turned it over in the light. It was pretty big, and it had pouches on the side, like a utility belt! And in the middle where the iconic bat-signal thing should have been was a domino! It was about two inches tall by three inches wide and was divided by a white line in the middle and two dots on the right side, one dot on the left. I snapped it on and it hung loosely on my hips. I held up the mask to discover it was a domino mask, fitting. I slipped it on, the adhesive on the sides quickly sticking to my face, not allowing it to slip off.
"Your hair is a bit... iconic? Anyway.. so you are going to have to wear a wig either as a Red X or as a civilian to keep the goodies off your trail." She handed over a black wig, it was short, which I hated, and when I quickly slipped it on over my regular hair. It was as short in the back, like only coming up to the nape of my neck, then it got longer in the front, and to make matters worse, there were these huge choppy bangs in the front! It was just like a bob, and I hated it.
Bella just started squealing, "You look amazing! And it goes well with your outfit! I cant even recognize you! That's your new outfit! Congrats Black Domino!" Then she ran up to me and tried to hug me. Now I'm not a hugger and so I just slipped past her, letting her hug air. I ran over to the dressing room and slammed the door closed and got changed back to my regular back tee shirt, old leather jacket, and regular, worn out, faded jeans. But since I liked the combat boots so much I neatly took them off and put them on the top of the pile of clothes and slipped my converse back on.
I opened the door back up to find no one there. I frowned and walked over to the weapon case. I reached in and grabbed the closest thing to my hand, throwing knives. I turned around and scanned the room, I couldn't see anyone, but that didn't mean no one was there. I closed my eyes and listened. I stood there for a minute or two, feeling and listening to silence. Then there was a small sound in the corner of the room, almost so quiet I thought I may have imagined it but I didn't think, I just acted.
I threw the knife and heard the tell tale scream. I rushed over to see Bella, with a knife about an centimeter away from her face. She looked at me hen started grinning, "You sensed me! That was amazing! Your lucky I moved... geez you have really good aim, where did you learn that! Can you teach me?" I slammed my hand over her mouth before she could say anymore.
"No I cant teach you, and you don't need to know." The girl pouted at me before sighing and looking at the knife still impaled in the wall. She grabbed it with both hands then yanked it out of the wall. She blinked a couple of times then turned to face me. "That reminds me! You need weapons!" She started to walk towards the weapon rack but I put a hand on her shoulder, "Got that covered." I took out the switch blade and she looked at it for a second. Then started to laugh.
"What so funny?" I demanded, it was a knife wasn't it! She pushed my hand off her shoulder and walked over to the wall and took off a sword, a bit too old fashioned for my taste of course. I wrinkled my nose and pushed it back towards her. She sighed and grabbed a couple of knives which I quickly put into a bag that Bella had grabbed off the wall. She grabbed the holsters for them and quickly showed me where they would be, two on my left leg and one on my right arm. Then she took off three guns, two for my hips and one for my left bicep.
I was in her words, "Getting hooked up!" Which I sincerely doubted, I looked like an assassin, which was slightly scary. And she wasn't done yet. "I want you to try this! Do you know how to string it and stuff.?" Bella handed me a silver recurve bow, and a black quiver made of leather which she helped strap to my back. I strung the bow and nocked an arrow, quickly trying to find a target. Finally I just settled for a spot on the wall.
I pulled back on the arrow and after a second of hesitation, I let go. The arrow was a little higher than where I had been aiming but that was ok. Bella went bounding over to where the arrow was lodged in the wall and grunting, pulled it out. "Ok now you are finished! Lets get back to the Wall." then she gathered up all of my clothes and put them into another bag, then she turned and walked out of the room. I followed her until we came to the entrance of the store. She tossed a couple of bills onto the counter and in the dim light I couldn't see the face in the middle.
Bella grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the shop and led me back to the entrance. She pushed the brick once again and the wall slid open. She skipped inside and once about twenty meters inside ran off screaming, "We're back! You can be happy once more little ones!" I rolled my eyes but jogged so I wouldn't get lost. I found her back in the dining room, it seemed to double as the meeting place as well.
"So whats the pretty ladies name?" Xander asked, he looked over to me and started smiling dreamily. Iggy rolled his eyes at him and whacked the genius over the head. "Ow!" Xander yelped turning he glared feebly at the older teen. Iggy smirked and shrugged, "You were drooling.." Xander's eyes widened and he quickly covered his face with his hands, but it did nothing to stop his face from turning beet red, "Please kill me now!" Iggy laughed and looked over at me. I just turned my attention to Nick who was pulling on my jacket. I knelt down so I could look into his eyes level. "Yes Nick?" he broke into a smile and kinda leaned his head to the side.
"Whats your code name? You never told us! O! And your costume! Whats it look like?" I stood up slowly, popping both of my knees in the process. Everyone in the room grimaced at the sound and I smiled apologetically.
"My codename is Black Domino, and my costume reflects that. Ya know black and white and stuff." I just looked at all of them for a moment then I started to walk back towards the door, hoping that if I wandered long enough that I would find where the rooms were.
"I have pictures!" Bella screamed. I turned around and looked over to the girl, daring her with my eyes to even try and show them. But she didn't sense the threat. She opened up her phone and went to the picture section, while I just turned back around and walked back towards the door, not really caring anymore.
Almost instinctively I reached into my jacket and touched the leather pouch that was still sitting inside of the hidden pockets. I slowly drew it out and started to open it, but I heard someone coming down the hall and I stuffed it back inside.
The footsteps were heavy, and pounded down the hall as loud as elephants.
Iggy.
"Wait a sec will you!" I paused and turned to face him. He smiled slowly, "I will be showing you to your rooms, and ours if you will ever need our assistance." he bowed mockingly and I curtsied in return. He held out his arm, waiting for me to take it. But I didn't, he was a criminal, and I didn't trust him all the way just yet. He looked hurt, but the expression was so fleeting I knew that I was probably just seeing things.
We walked down a few corridors until finally we stopped at a door smothered in One Direction and Justin Bieber posters, Bella's room. I smiled and reached out to touch their faces, trying to imagine what the inside must look like, the thought made me smile a bit.
"And this is Nick's room." He pointed to a room to the right of the door. It was painted green and had dinosaurs on the front, as well as a map which showed different historical monuments, along with what attacks they could do to them. Quite scary for a ten year old. I shuddered ad walked down the hall, pausing at a room that had a large camera on the top along with a keypad and retina scanner at the door-frame.
Xander's room, I looked at the camera and smiled, then waved. Even through the thick door I could hear him squealing, which just made me laugh.
We continued down the hall until we paused at yet another door. This one was red and had flames trailing up and down the sides of the frame. I knelt forward, they were beautiful, they were so lifelike, I felt like I could feel the flames.
"Do you like it?" He questioned, he looked down at me and smiled. I nodded still in awe that the boy could draw so well, I was going to have to ask him to teach me. I slowly stood up and waked down to the last door in the hallway. This one was steel gray and had no decoration what so ever, I was going to have to change that. I turned the knob and stepped inside.
It was small, but bigger than the hovels I had been sleeping in for the past year. The only furniture was a small dresser, a single bed, and a desk stuffed into the corner. I walked over to the door in the corner and opened it, only ti find that there was nothing there. Frowning I turned around and gave Iggy a puzzled look. He simply walked forward and put his hand in the middle of the wall. He pushed and it opened to reveal a case, just the right size for my costume. I turned and dipped my head to him in a silent thanks.
He shrugged and backed up to the door, "I had better go, your going to need your rest for tomorrow."
I raised a single eyebrow, "And why is that?"
"Because tomorrow is your first official day as a Red X. And that includes training. So sleep tight and don't let the heroes bite!" Chuckling to himself he shut the door and walked off, leaving me to wonder what was so bad about training.
Sad to say, I learned what it was real soon.
