Chapter 4

Fair is Fair

"Aisha why of all places are you going to spend a few days down in the sewers" Leon asked as he saw Aisha packing up a few things in a bag "People will wonder where you have gone to"

"Leon" Aisha said and turned to him as she stopped her packing "Why are you so interested in why, I am more than capable of handling myself and if I don't come back I am not too worried about it"

"But Ais.." Leon started by Aisha interrupted him.

"Leon stop it" Aisha said with a frown "If you are unable to do what I have asked them leave, and that only happen two ways, body bag or river, the choice is yours" she then pulled out a knife and flipped it opened.

Leon stood for a moment and then lunged at Aisha, who swiftly brought the knife into Leon's chest, causing his sudden stop and she pushed him to the floor and listened to him cough.

"How stupid do you think I am" Aisha said and let the knife in and stood above him "You think I didn't know"

"Damn it" Leon struggled out between breaths.

"You dumb fuck" Aisha said with a growl "I only let you get in here because I wanted to see his plan, and it's a stupid one. Daggett will get a short life"

"How?" Leon wheezed out.

"You really think I never hacked into your phone calls, or had people follow you" Aisha said as she leaned down close to Leon "I was on to you since I let you in, when you thought you were watching me I was always watching you" she then gave Leon a kiss on the cheek.

"Ms. Aisha" A women's voice said as a younger girl around 18 entered the room.

"Ah, Mina right on time" Aisha said with a smile and then turned to Leon and stomped down on the knife before pulling it out of his chest "Make sure a delivery gets to our friend won't you dearie"

"Of course Ms. Aisha" Mina said and walked over to Leon and saw he was still breathing "He is still alive Ms. Aisha" and then suddenly Mina bent down and snapped his neck "never mind I was mistaken"

"You think men will learn it is no longer their world Mina" Aisha said as she walked over to Mina and put an arm on her shoulder and leaned her head on it. "Behind every man there is a women"

"They will continue to believe that they own the world Ms. Aisha" Mina said and wrapped an arm around Aisha.

"Let's give them something to pause about" Aisha said and then kissed Mina on the cheek "You know what to do after"

"Yes, it is already in motion" Mina said and Aisha just smiled.

"Perfect" Aisha said with a huge smile "After you can join me, and remember it's just Aisha, Mina"

"Yes Ms….I mean yes Aisha" Mina said.

"Good" Aisha replied and then looked at the dead body of Leon on her floor "A shame really, he was quite handsome"

"Indeed he was, but he was trying to hurt you Aisha, and we don't allow that" Mina said and Aisha just smiled. "No one hurts you"

One of the reasons Aisha was so hard to kill, was more than half the city was watching her. They owed her their lives and would do anything to stop someone from killing her. Aisha knew that she had to protect her own life; she picked up a few tricks from people who worked under her.

By the time Aisha reached the sewers with her bag of tricks as she called it she heard some people following her. Most likely some men that didn't know who she was, it made her smile. Just as one was going to grab her she spun around quickly startling them.

"Stalking, it's rude to do it to a lady" Aisha said with a smile.

"You aren't supposed to be down here" one said.

"Really" Aisha replied "I can go where I please, besides Bane is expecting me, so why don't you be a darling and tell me your name so I can tell him who made me late"

"Umm no go right ahead madam" the guy said and hurried off with the other two.

"Silly men" Aisha replied and turned and saw Bane there "do you like to lurk in shadows?"

"I was born in it" Bane said as he turned and Aisha followed him "I see your man is missing"

"Oh Leon, well yes he had a rather terrible accident, ran into my knife and got his neck broken" Aisha replied with a smile "terrible shame that was"

"I see" Bane replied as they came to where he slept and it had computers all around "Will these suffice for you"

"Oh yes more than I need, its perfect" Aisha said and then noticed the water running "in case you want to get rid of something fast, I like the idea"

"You are rather strange women" Bane said as he saw Aisha take off her jacket leaving her in a tank top. He notice scars running down her arms it reminded him of the rough angry scars he saw before running down her legs. Bane reached out and touched the scars on her arms and felt her stiffen before relaxing again.

"Rather nasty aren't they" Aisha said as she looked one on her arm "Makes it annoying to wear long shirts all the time"

"How you get them" Bane said

"I will tell you when you tell me how you got yours" Aisha said and smirked "fair is fair"

"Another time" Bane said as Aisha pulled out a computer and set it on the desk.

"You have someone getting his prints?" Aisha said as she booted the computer and connected it to the others Bane had.

"Yes" Bane replied "the plan has been set in motion"

"Perfect" Aisha said and then looked at Bane "I also suppose the women you are working with is getting a foothold in as well"

"You know much" Bane said as he looked at Aisha type a few things and the screens were covered with code.

"It is usually wise to know who you are working with" Aisha replied with a smile and then pulled something out of her pocket "A gift" it was a small device that rested in his hand "To help make Gotham isolated from the world at the opportune moment"

"A splendid gift indeed" Bane replied as he studied the device "Will it work for all of them?"

"Most certainly" Aisha replied "Had my men slowly add the stuff for weeks now, and you coming along just sweetened my pot, besides Gotham had been long overdue"

"You are very correct" Bane replied "It seems that I have found the correct person to work with"

"It does appear to be so" Aisha said with a smile "Did you get that mask from the pit?"

Bane looked at Aisha for a moment then at the computer screen she was typing away on.

"Then again it looks like something you have gotten after" Aisha said again and glanced towards Bane "League of Shadows perhaps?"

"Your information is rather good" Bane replied "Wonders why I didn't meet you when I first came to the city, but as you say fair is fair"

"Touché" Aisha replied "The scars on my arms are from when I was little, or perhaps better to say younger, 5 years I believe it was. Some men don't understand the word no. So I gave them a carving and they returned the favor in spades, but I got the last say."

"No one protected you?" Bane said as he looked Aisha in her emerald eyes and saw her give him a sad smile.

"You were born in to this world with shadows, I was born into pain and violence" Aisha replied "Over the years I have grown accustomed to both. No one steps are darker than with their eyes closed"

"You work with me now" Bane replied "No one will mess with you"

"They will still try" Aisha replied "Just perhaps you give them more reason to pause"

"They have more to fear from me" Bane replied as he looked at Aisha. He didn't know why but looking at her, he wanted to do something to make sure no one hurt her again.
