Disclaimer: If I said I owned them, I lied.
Dinah walked down the street at a brisk pace. It was late, after eleven. And it was dark. Really dark. She had a feeling of someone following her, but couldn't quite spot them. She turned a corner. I could short cut through the ally, she thought. Then, rolled her eye's at her though. "God, Dinah," she said out loud. "You never cut through an ally." She kept walking until she heard.
"It's a little late to be out, don't you think?" She spun around. A guy in dark cloths stood there, looking at her like he hadn't eaten in months and she was a piece of meat. "It's a Friday. Is it late for a Friday?"
"No. Not really." Another man said from Alley she was in front of. She knew what was happening.
"Look, why don't you guys just leave me alone." She tried to walk off, but another guy pushed her into the ally.
They came at her, and she kicked the one on her left, then smashed him into the guy on her right. She punched the one in front of her, sending him back a few steps. The guy from her left was up again, and forcefully put a hand on her shoulder. She grabbed it, then flipped him into the air. He landed on his back. That gave her an opening to run. When she got to the end of the ally, one of them grabbed her foot and pulled it out from underneath her. She fell to the ground, which was when one of them grabbed her shirt. She met his head with hers, then kicked him back. She stood up fast, and opened her mouth.
A loud shrieking noise came from her mouth. It was like a super sonic scream. The men fell to the ground. The display windows of three other stores around her shattered. She just kept sending out her scream. Then, when the men were down, and she was fairly certain they weren't getting up, she turned to leave.
Clark and Chloe were in the midst of running across the street. "What are you guys doing here?" Dinah asked, meeting them in the middle of the deserted street. "Didn't you just hear that?" Chloe asked. "It was some kind of sonic wave. Shattered windows and everything."
"I didn't hear anything." Dinah tried to convince them.
"You can't tell me you didn't hear that." Chloe protested.
Then, from across the street they heard, "You got lucky, freak!" And the three men slowly walked away.
"They were talking to you." Clark noticed. Dinah hesitated for a moment then said,
"Look, just forget about this. Let it go. It's no big deal." And then she walked back over to the sidewalk and walked the rest of the way home.
