I don't own any blackcat

...

Mari's P.O.V

I ran straight to a place I knew I could trust.

I ran straight to Tony's ice cream parlor, odd I know, but it is a safe place for me.

I opened the door and walked in to see the comfortable familiar surroundings.

"Long time no see kid!" rang the familiar voice from behind the counter.

I sat down in a mint-green chair and sighed "Hello Tony."

He smiled at me and asked "What'll it be kid?"

I didn't hesitate when I asked for "chocolate swirl."

He gave me a strange look but went about scooping ice cream.

"Ok what's wrong?" he said coming around the counter placing the treat before me and sitting down across the table.

I looked at my ice cream and softly answered "Nothing."

Tony laughed "I haven't seen you in a while and you waltz in and order chocolate. Now I'd like to think I know you, and I know you never eat chocolate ice cream unless something is wrong."

I sighed again "You know me too well Tony." It was true Tony was like a father to me in this city. "Black Cat is in town" I said stuffing chocolate swirl in my mouth.

He looked surprised "Is he competition or ally?"

I thought for a moment and replied "Neither right now. I just don't like the idea of more sweepers going after our catch although he's probably just passing through"

Tony smiled "So where is Shawna? I thought you two were inseparable?"

I laughed sarcastically "She was talking with Train and his partner."

"Train is Black Cat I assume " said Tony.

"Yeah my sister says..." I heard the bell above the door ring behind me signaling new customers entering the shop.

"Speak of the devil" Tony said quietly as he got up and went back behind the counter.

"Hiya sis" said Shawna's playfully bouncy voice as she was followed into the shop by Train and Sven. She sat down in the chair Tony had vacated and stated "So... they're going to live with us for a while and help us go after Bernio ok?"

I groaned "Shawna… you invite THEM into MY house then you agree to go after Bernio WITH them? He is my target and my target alone I can't have anyone mess this up for me ok?" Shawna just smiled her little 'I do what I want' smile and flicked her rich red ringlets away from her face.

Shawna had the most beautiful red hair that stayed in ringlets that curled right down to her waist. Her eyes were hazel-green.

My hair however is elbow length and platinum blonde and my eyes are ice blue. I watched as she shrugged and scooted my ice cream towards her and proceeded to eat it. I sighed and caved if only for her sake "OK they can stay."

She giggled "I knew you'd let them."

I motioned for them to sit down. We talked for a while I noticed that they looked at me strangely. I knew Shawna must have told them about our past. "You know I really don't like it when people feel sorry for me and my life."

I glared at Shawna who looked away guiltily.

"Who said we were sorry for you" said Train I looked over at him and noticed a small smirk across his lips.

I was just about to be witty back to him when I noticed a black car pull up outside and two men got out with machine guns.

"Get down!" I yelled.

As we hit the deck bullets started flying through the glass windows. I covered my head with my arms as glass flew everywhere. I peeked out to see if everyone was alright as bullets continued to rain into the shop. I tried to raise myself up to see if Tony was ok but someone pulled me back to the floor.

I looked over at the someone and saw it was Train. His hand was on my arm and when the bullets stopped abruptly he released me. I didn't know what happened, but I wondered if he'd felt what I did. It felt like electricity going through my skin where he'd touched.

I heard the car star to drive away and I jumped to my feet hurdling the small line of brick below what was the window and ran after it.

"OH NO SHE'S PSYCHOTIC!" I heard Shawna shout.

I ran after the car and heard footsteps behind me. The muzzle of a gun came out the car window and pointed at me. My hand went to my holster but before I could do anything I was pulled out of the street and behind a parked car.

I was forced to crouch to the ground as bullets fired at where I was just standing and into the car. I looked up into the face of none other than you guessed it Train Heartnet.

He pinned me to the car until the shooters were out of sight "Are you crazy or what?"

He was smiling when he said this so I smiled and replied "a little"

I hope this makes sense I'm reviewing a few of my stories and fixing them
