Chapter 2: A Strange World

"In latest news the strange power failure here in metropolis has been declared to be faulty circuits due to an overpowering of one of the main reactors, officials have declared the problem has been solved and that further investigation into this problem will be explored" said a reporter on one of the stores TV screens.

Soraya had been listening to the news since she had arrived in this world, in the last few hours since leaving the run down building she had been wondering from place to place looking for a safe place to rest and think, though the search had proven problematic she still looked she had been listening to people talking while she had been walking the streets and also looking at papers to find out more about this world and who she needed to look out for.

So far she had found out a few things, the world she was in did has heroes but these heroes had joined together and called themselves the Justice League, Soraya found the name amusing for who would think to call themselves Justice when they had power to rule over weak humans but she had to admit that they did keep the peace even if it was short termed. She also found out that the city she was in was called metropolis there were other cities that didn't exist in her world like Gotham City, Central City and Bludhaven these city seem to house some famous hero or villain from what Soraya could hear from the public gossip.

After hearing about the power outage on the News she realized they were talking about last night's events that brought her here. "They make up some story about faulty circuits whoever's in charge here their excuses are almost as bad a my world when it comes to covering stories" she thought as she passed more people, Soraya could sense that people were looking back to see her, they probably seen girls like her before since her sense of style was common among youngster who rebelled against their elders but it was probably the marks over her arm. The marks she knew covered almost most of her body, she had been born with them but she had never understood why, neither Blade or Noah could explain how it was possible for a half breed to be born with such markings so she didn't ask or look for an explanation of why they were there.

Soraya stopped as she entered an alleyway where two thugs blocked her way holding a bat and a gun in their hands, "Hey girly want to have a bit of fun?" said one of the men, Soraya just signed as she stood there not answering the man's question. "Hey my friend asked a question, so maybe you should answer before we have to make you talk" said the other man as he grabbed her shoulder. "Sorry but I don't have time for losers" Soraya said as she grabbed the man's hand and pulled it off her shoulder "Why you little" the man raised his bat ready to bash her brain in, but before he brought it down she grabbed his throat and slammed him against the wall while still holding the other man arm "Hey let me go you bitch" as he reached for his gun Soraya crashed his arm breaking his bone. The man collapsed from the pain and tried to wrestle the arm away from her but Soraya was holding on tightly as she looked at the man she held against the wall. "Now then what should I do with two losers" She said while smiling she knew she could kill them quickly but she was trying to keep hidden from the people who were after her, so she decided to do something she hated doing.

She flung the man against the wall so she could see both of them as she held them both she looked at them directly, as she did she could feel her eyes shift from human to vampiric, her eyes gave off a pulse of energy to stop the men from struggling, as both men looked at her they both stop struggling and looked at her blankly, she let them go and they just stood still their eyes were completely blank like their minds were empty of life and just waiting for orders. Soraya hated using her powers like this taking a man free will away just so they could forget seeing her, but she knew if she wanted to keep hidden she would have to do this "Now you will forget everything you have seen here, you will act as if you were involved in an accident which resulted in your arm breaking, you will forget seeing me do you understand?" Soraya asked and both men nodded their heads showing that they had listened to her orders. As she moved away she hid behind the wall and released both men by clicking her fingers, "Wha... What happened man" said one of the men "I think we were in an accident man your arm looks banged up" said the other "Better get to a hospital quick before this is permanent" said the other, as both ran down the alleyway Soraya moved on and came out onto the streets again.

She began to think what she had done, the last time she used mesmerism on people was when she was young and her teacher had warned her to never use it on people, she knew he would of hit her over the head for what she had done and it would of hurt but she smiled as she remembered him and the training she had received from him in her young days. As she looked up at a rundown building she noticed several homeless people and prostitutes along the streets and realized this was the best place to stay since these people would still think this place but wouldn't find her here since most people here avoided talking to them when they could so she entered the building and looked for an empty corner to sleep in. She saw a range of people in the building ranging from men in worn out clothes, women were the same and some had kids with them trying to stay warm, she had seen this in her world but it always felt the same, humans could be just as cruel to their own kind as well as the monsters they claim to fight to keep them safe.

She found an empty corner near a window where she could watch the sun set and watch the city, as she settled against the wall she could see that a few children were staring at her so she decided to keep her swords ready in case an idiotic adult decided to pick her pockets, so she settled against the wall and fell asleep hoping that this time her nightmare wouldn't come this time.

Mount Justice

After getting Miss Martian to the sick bay to be treated the other gathered into the main hall to discuss what had happened that night and how they were going to find the girl, Batman arrived to discuss tactics in finding the girl and most of them resulted in confronting the girl or isolating her from the pubic so they could keep the public safe from damage or her using them as hostages.

Auqalad knew that some of these tactics or strategies would work but they had to find her and there was no sign of her being reported or that the league had found her. "So how do you want us to handle this?" Auqalad asked "For now you and the team will stay here, the league will look for her if we find evidence of where she may have been will call you in" Batman said to the team "What? you expect us to just sit here while she out there she could hurt people like she did M'Gann" Superboy shouted looking angry "Conner, Batman is right we don't know where she is and even if we did we don't know how powerful she is or how skilled" Robin said as Conner crossed his arms look displeased. "The league will alert you to every possible sighting of the girl but for now the league need to determine if the girl is a threat before we can send you in to catch her" Batman said as the team looked determined to find the girl.

After Batman had left the team went to the sick bay to check M'Gann, she was awake and lying in bed when they entered, "So what now?" she asked as Conner took her hand that was cover in bandages. "For now we are to stay here and wait for any sightings" Auqalad said "We should be looking right now, who knows when the league will actually find her" Kid flash said "Wally we don't know where she ran off too and M'Gann almost got herself killed by her so what can we do if she as powerful as Batman thinks she is" Artemis said "She's right Wally she is strong and I don't think facing her now would do us good" M'Gann said with a smile.

"We better leave you to rest" Auqalad said as he moved to the door, as the rest of the team went off on their own Auqalad went to the computer and checked the News feed for any strange activities that could help him find the girl.

Back at the abandoned building

"Please don't kill I didn't mean to" The man cowered on the floor as Soraya pressed the blade against his neck "Ya right you were planning to take my blades and sell them off for cash" she said pressing further into the man's throat "Please I beg you don't kill me" the man begged Soraya just looked at him in disgust she pulled her blade away from the man's throat and tossed him away "Just remember the next time you or anyone tries anything funny I will kill them" she said point the tip of her blade at the man's face. "Yes I promise I'll and the other won't bother you again" the man ran off, Soraya sat back down against the wall she had been asleep for several hours and was woken up as the sun was going down when the man was trying to slip her blades from her hands but she could always feel those around her even when she was asleep.

Soraya watched as more people came into the building and many were going out probably to case joints that had food or to sell themselves for cash, but she knew this was what it was like for these people it was all they knew to survive even if they were being pig headed about it if they had families that loved them or friends that could help them. Soraya was planning to sleep some more when she heard someone come up to her. She looked up and saw a women in a leather jacket and leather pants "Hey you new here?" the woman asked Soraya could tell that this woman was a prostitute but she looked like she could handle herself "Ya what's it to ya?" she asked "Nothing it just that some of the guys downstairs were talking about some crazy bitch almost cutting one of them up" she said while smiling "He was wining like a pig for his life don't see why that something to talk about" Soraya said as she held her swords tightly "Ya you do have a point, still be careful sometimes we get some guys here who don't take well to threats like that and they might try and hurt you" she said as she moved on.

Soraya didn't care much for the warning but she knew why she said it most places where homes to these people and if something upset the status quo they would be very happy about it so Soraya kept to herself and didn't interact with the people, a few kids tried talking to her but she ignored them one girls kept staring at her holding a small doll Soraya just ignored her and tried sleeping again but every time she tried she kept getting the same nightmare, for weeks she had been having a dark dream of a battlefield covered in dead bodies and blood running through the battlefield to a strange figure who looked more demon then human and every time she tried looking at the figure she woke up "Why am I dreaming this, is it a vision or just memory" she thought but she could never think of an answer .

Soraya stood up and looked out the window and saw that the sun was gone and only a faint line of red could be seen on the horizon, "Well this sure looks good don't you think boys" said a strange male voice, Soraya could just make out a man from the corner of her eye he and a group of thugs were hassling a family and picking out some of their valuable "This should cover this week rent" He said as he mocked them further and moved on "This place isn't for men like them to take people treasures" she thought but she kept to herself so no one would get hurt "Well now you must have something to pay your rent lady" said the man to a young woman "Please you took everything I have of value yesterday I don't have anything left" she said looking scared "Now that's not true, your darling daughter has that nice necklace so how about handing it over" the man said as he punched her to the ground.

The young girl from earlier hid under Soraya's jacket and tried not getting the men's attention but they noticed her anyway "Now then kid hand over that nice necklace or your mommy's going to have to another way" the man stepped on the woman's head pressing down, the girl didn't move an inch looking scared "Fine, boys grab the girl and let's get out of here the boss will get mad if were late" as the men moved forward to grab the girl Soraya moved back to stop the men from taking her "Stay out of this girl it has nothing to do with you" as the big muscled man moved to grab the girl Soraya brought one of her swords out and stabbed his arm with it "Ahhh you bitch" he screamed as he held his arm where the sword had cut.

"Touch this girl or anyone and it'll be your head I cut off next" she said holding her sword ready "Now now we don't want any violence we just want that girls necklace and we'll be on our way" Said the man who clearly thought he was leader of this group of thugs "Ya right you have enough valuable on you already so why don't you get lost" Soraya said "Well that not really up to you now hand the girl over or me and my boys will show you what happens to those who get in our way" the man clicked his figures and the boys aimed their guns at her "Do you think I can be so threaten by such weak weapons, you clearly aren't as smart as you look" Soraya said "Kill her" the man said and as the man pressed against the triggers Soraya quickly dispatched the men quickly before they even had time to react.

All the men looked down where their arms were and saw them fall and their blood spraying everywhere, the collapsed on the floor and screamed in agony the leader looked on in horror at what had happened "You bitch what you do?" as he fired his gun Soraya quickly used her sword to redirect the bullet and sent it back towards the man. The bullet pierced his head and he quickly fell down died at Soraya's feet "Simple I just showed you the difference in strength between me and your weapons" she said looking at the men that had witnessed this girls skills. Soraya moved forward and pick up the bag full of valuables. "You lot get out of here and tell your boss if he ever tries taking people valuables again I'll do more than just kill his men I'll cut of his head and display it to other's to warn them not to mess with people's lives you hear me" she shouted to them with a killer look to show she meant it the men ran out looking scared and taking their dead leader with them.

Soraya turned around to face the people and saw they were all scared of her since seeing what she had just done, "whoever these valuable belong to give them back and make sure those guys don't take them again" she said as she threw the bag down towards the group and moved towards the stairs. As she existed the building she felt someone grab her jacket, she turned around and saw the girl she had protected "What is it?" she asked the girl smiled and took off the necklace she was wearing she held it out to Soraya and she saw it was a sliver cross with some engravings and gems in it so she knew now why the men wanted it "I can't take this it belongs to you" Soraya kneeled down to talk to the girl but the girl simple smiled and put the necklace into her hand "she thinks you're an angel" said the girl's mother as she joined them outside "I'm no angel you saw what I did" Soraya said as she stood up holding the cross "I know but you saved my daughter life and their aren't that many who would do what you did, so please accept this as a token" the woman smiled and took hold of her daughter hand. Soraya knew she couldn't argue this out so she smiled and accepted the girl's gift and put it around her neck "Thank you" she said as she started walking down the street, she looked back once and saw the girl waving goodbye and she smiled thinking how she was that age and how hard it would be for that girl in this world.

As Soraya walked down the street she thought back to what she had done she knew that this would get the attention of the people looking for her, so she moved through the busy streets and kept walking till she was well out of the city she managed to hitch a ride on a truck heading to Gotham city she knew that she would be found sooner or later but she knew the further she got away from these people the sooner she could find a way home and keep these people from finding out more about her and what she was.

Here's chapter 2, this doesn't get further in the story but there will be a fight scene soon in the next chapter, hope you enjoy the chapter.
