Chapter 12


Night time at Dakota Airplane station

The city of Dakota had been quiet for once leaving Trina and Kim very unoccupied. They were still on patrolled like alway, but really with SIX superhero's around, unless they were super themselves criminal were wising up to not doing anything bad and the two cops were getting bored. Neither of them were paying attention to the young lady walking past them in a dark ballroom dress with black stockings and dark heels.

"So this is Dakota hmm..." the young lady whispered letting the wind blow through the blond highlights at the front of her dark hair.

"I wonder what kind of person the new wielder of the Witchblade is..." She muse before her dark brown eye take on a more melancholic form, reflecting the emptiness now in her soul as she walk off into the distance. (Curator... you want get away.)


Dakota High

Tables strewn across the school cafeteria and within each table was a different circle of friends and associates reigning from geeks to the cool guy and jocks. Madelyn sat at the 'Unique'kid's table, every high school had one, a set of kids that like the popular crowd they stood out, but weren't always liked because they were different .

There with Madelyn was Riche, Virgil and as of yesterday his new girlfriend and her best friend Yuri, sitting right across him. They were wait for one more to show up, a girl name Shenice, Richie's girlfriend, now at any other time Madelyn would have felt left out with her being the only one that was single but after spending months without any friends she could let that one let side... for now.

"AGK!" Madelyn groan as the other reason kick in, this massive headache she couldn't seem to get rid of. It had been killing her seen the attack on Star labs and only seem to get worse by the day, Yuri, Virgil and Richie prattled on over some trivial topics laughing at something Richie said before Yuri noticed that Madelyn was rather quiet. She frowned at her with worry.

"Hey are you alright?" Yuri ask, realizing her best friend were staring at her Madelyn quickly put on a false smile.

"Yeah, I'm just a little tired, that's all." she lied through her teeth.

"Oh." Yuri didn't seem all that too convinced (I hope she doing okay.).

"Don't worry I'm doing fine." Madelyn said causing Yuri to blink.

"Huh!?"

"You ask if I was doing okay and I said I fine so don't worry." Madelyn said rubbing her forehead as Yuri cock her own to the side.

"Oookay...? But I didn't say anything. Well I thought it but I didn't say." Madelyn's eyes widen at this in a almost horrified fashion and was thankful for Richie calling out for Shenice, taking Yuri's attention away from her for the moment.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late but I really didn't get much sleep last night." Shenice said sitting down next to Richie who ask her if she was okay but just gave him a quick reassuring smile, (Yeah if that wasn't BS, then I don't know what is.) she thought. Last night after her meeting with Nora, Shenice headed home after patol and discreetly ask about her powers; to put it mildly the results could have been better.

Flashback

Walking into her apartment She Bang take off her mask before sitting the briefcase down on her bed, after closing her bedroom door she headed into the kitchen where her mom was working on dinner and her dad was sitting at the table reading a newspaper.

"Shenice just in time to eat why don't you sit with your dad and I'll make the plates." Dolores Vale said to her daughter who nodded and sit down with her superhero gear still on as she had done many time already when her father spoke.

"So how was you're arounds tonight." he ask as if she had just gotten off work.

"Fine, just fine. Stop a few muggers, knock out a guy breaking into a shop or two and gain some new powers." Shenice said trying to sound like it was nothing big but the reaction she got nearly floored her, Ms Vale stop in her track almost dropping the plates in her hands and her Dad did drop his paper with a horrified look on his face.

"What. Was. That. Last. Part." Jonathan Vale ask with worry written all over his face, but Shenice manage to put on a smile.

"What, it just a joke." she said putting them at ease as she try to play it off while on she was panicking big time. "But don't you think it'd be cool if I had other powers?"

"Maybe, but enough of that, it time to eat, right Dolores?" Jonathan said trying to ease out of the conversation as Dolores nodded more than wanting to drop the topic and this all made Shenice feel very unease.

Flashback End

(They are hiding something from me.) Shenice thought not knowing what to do or if she should tell Richie, knowing it would just make him worry about her.

"Hey guys I need to go to the bathroom." Madelyn said catching their attention but really just needed some time alone, however Yuri still wanted to go with her, as the two got up and left Richie quickly turn to his best friend.

"So how was your night last night, you two hit it off?" Richie ask and Shenice lend in to, needing something else to focus her mind on.

"Great! Best date I've ever had." Virgil replied trying not to smile too hard, but it wasn't ease, with the fallout he had with Daisy and the no go with Freida he was really hoping this one work out.

"Well I'm just happy you ask her out and not that crazy Witchblade girl." Shenice mutter and Virgil groaned wishing she'd ease up on the new superhero, Richie wanting to avoid another argument cut in quickly.

"Moving on, how it coming with the tickets for the Expo?" Richie ask catching both of their attention, Virgil looking around to make sure no one was listening in.

"Mr. Rollins said he'd get them to us by Saturday." Virgil replied but for some reason didn't seem too happy about that.

"This is good, right?" Shenice ask wondering if something was wrong, Virgil just sigh.

"Yeah, but because he been doing us a lot of favors lately, he want me to go with him to some tech convention with him on the thirteenth of next month." Shenice and Richie winched feeling sorry for their friend but if they going to go through with protecting the Museum expo then they needed the tickets to be on the inside.

"Well friday tomorrow and we'll see what the others have come up with then and we get the tickets the next day." Richie said making sure they left nothing out.

"Right, the following monday which is the 29th, is the Expo." Shenice added and Virgil nodded hoping everything would go well but with their job that never seem to be the case, as all this was going on the same boy from last night was sitting a few table away glaring at Virgil and Richie.


Madelyn and Yuri

'I really hope the new teacher don't give us a pop quiz.'

'Tony is so cute I hope he ask me out soon.'

'Oh god! Is that a zip?'

(Okay, that it!) Madelyn thought closing her eyes tightly and focusing as hard as she could to block out the voices until they finally faded away, along with her headache and she despair even more, (Oh god it back, my freakin Telepathic Abilities are back! Damn it!) Madelyn curse in her mind as she walk out of the stall she was was in and was now trying to keep her returning powers on off mode as she move to the sink where Yuri was waiting for her to wash her hands.

(But how! I thought I lost them after my first fight with Static, so how can they just come back?) Madelyn mind was going a mile a minute trying to think of anything to to explain the return of her Telepathic powers, the headache started after her battle at Star labs so does that mean they return because of her overuse of her Telekinesis? Or was this alway meant to happy and her overuse just acted as a jumper for her Telepathic Abilities return, (Either way I need to be a lot more careful for now on.) Madelyn thought not wanting to mess up her chances with being on Static's team.

"All right, out with it." Yuri spoke causing Madelyn to turn to her not realizing the Okinawan girl had been watching her the whole time.

"What wrong?" "Not- nothing wrong I already told you that." Madelyn stammered little but the look Yuri was giving her said that she knew she was lying, Yuri sigh before turning to her and placing her hands on Madelyn's shouders.

"Fine I won't push you, but know that I'm here if you need someone to talk to." Yuri said with a sincere smile, something Madelyn couldn't help but return.

"Thanks I'll keep that in mind." she said as they headed back to the lunchroom


After school- The Hawkins home

Robert Hawkins sigh as he made his way down stairs wondering where he and Trina were gonna go for dinner tonight, he knew his girlfriend had been pretty depressed about being unable to do anything about the last few meta-human attacks and was hoping a night out would cheer her up.

"Not that I can blame her." Robert mutter knowing that if his job was to protect people and a bunch of teens did that better then him he'd be feeling pretty down too. Walking into the living room he heard the front door open up to let his son and a young girl about his age walk in.

"Hey dad just dropping off my stuff." Virgil said throwing his backpack on the couch. "Sure but aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?" Robert asked as the girl step forward.

"Hello I'm Yuri Miyazono, please to meet you." Yuri said bowing before taking Virgil's hand with her own, making it clear as to where their relationship was at from his blush, Robert raise an eyebrow at the two but shake his head and smile (Kids.).

"Nice to meet you Yuri, Virgil can you come up to your room with me for a minute?" Robert asked and his son told Yuri to wait there for a moment as the two went up stairs.

"So you never said anything about a new girlfriend." Robert said and Virgil sigh.

"That because we only went on our first date yesterday." Virgil told him.

"Well I hope it works out for you two." Robert said reaching for his son bedroom door and opening, upon stepping in Virgil was somewhat surprise to see a long rectangular box sitting on his bed.

"As you can see someone came by earlier and drop that off for you." Robert told him as Virgil walk over to the box and pick it up.

"Did they leave a name or something?" Virgil ask overlooking the package, feeling no electricity he knew it was nothing techo.

"Yeah it was an old man calling himself Curator." Robert replied and Virgil raise an eyebrow at the odd name, not sure what to make of any of this.

"Never heard of em." Virgil mutter tearing the tape off and opening the package to reveal a sword.

"A japanese katana?" Virgil ask himself in confusion, neither he nor his father had no idea what to make of the strange gift, it was longer than the standard sized, moderately curved with a black handle, a golden guard and black sheath, it had a golden cap to hold the black wrapping over the handle and it was also gold underneath.

"Did he say why he was giving me this?" Virgil ask and Robert shake his head.

"Not really, the only thing he said was that it was time you had it." Virgil look at his dad and back to the sword before giving a careless shrug and heading to his closet opening it and throwing the Sword on top of his Static shock gear. Turning to the bed he grab the box and stuff and place it in a corner decide to throw them away later.

"Not the weirdest thing to happen to me yet." Virgil said and his dad agreed with a careless shrug (I know it little unethical for a dad to let his son keep a weapon like that, but when said son is going out every night and fighting all kinds of dangerous criminals, him having a sword is kind of a moot point.) Robert thought as they headed back down stairs. Upon reaching down stairs Yuri who had been waiting quietly jump up at see Virgil ready to get going to the Fair.

"Sorry about making you wait." Virgil said as Yuri wrapped an arm his.

"It okay but lets get out of here." Yuri replied taking him to the door with Robert waving goodbye.

"You kids have fun and it was nice meeting you Yuri." he said as they wave back before leaving.


Gotham city-unknown

In what some have come to call the darkest city in the world we find a branch of the NSWFin silence as all appeared peaceful, but inside was another matter. On a office at the top level we see a young girl between the ages of fourteen and fifteen typing away at a computer, she wore a dark lola dress with a black gothic jacket on top, long leather stilettos boots up to her knees and had her hair in two pig tails on each side of her head. Her face was pale with lips black as night and eyes forest green.

The speed at which she type at was impressive as her eye wandered over file after file until it reach one that caught her attention.

"What do we have here, Neogene hmm..." she whisper overlooking the file with great in interest while downloading it to a black flash drive, (Is this what you were looking into... Eternity?) the girl thought finishing the download and pocketed the drive after leaving a little 'gift' in the computer when she heard footsteps behind her, turning quickly she saw a man in a business suit walking in with a surprise expression on his face.

"What are you doing here!?" the man yell before faster than he thought possible the girl round on him slamming the fully grown man into a walk holding him by the neck.

"Don't do anything foolish." She told him darkly but he just smirk back at the menacing girl.

"You mean like this?" he ask pressing a red button on the wall that his hand just happen to be by, sounding the alarm, (You have got to be kidding! Who put alarm buttons there anyway!?) she didn't time to dwell on that and let go of his neck but grab him by the back of his suit coat.

"You're coming with me." the girl snarl pulling him along as she kick open the office door, looking left she saw guys in what look like sci fi swat suit marching their way.

"And we're going to the right." She muttered pulling the man along and making her way down the hallway but before even reach the end more swat guys block off her path, turning around she saw that both ways were block off and so kick open the door in front of her leading to the rooftop. Marching out she find more swat guys appear around the corner, about to go back in she turn to see more to the door block off by the ones from before, so pulling the man in front of her while flicking her wrist a black knife came out in she put it to the mans neck.

"Don't come any closer or I'll kill him!" the girl bark backing up but they kept moving forward.

"I mean it, back off or this man is dead!" She yelled once more having to move to the right as more guys came at her from the left, but then guys started coming from the right push closer to the edge and boxing her in.

"I said back the fuck off or he's dead!" she shouted not getting any closer to the edge as they pal all around her.

"I'm not joking I'll kill him!" as she yell the swat guys ready their weapon.

"I'm for real if you guys don't back off I'll kill this asshole!"

"They know!" a new voice shouted in the darkness as everyone turn to look behind her to see none then the Boy Wonder himself.

"But I really don't think they care." he said glaring down at her.

"Robin." she replied smiling sinisterly as she throw the man she was holding to the ground, one of the guard raised his rifle to fire only to find the heel of a stilettos boot smashing into his helmet before the girl duck down to sheep the feet out from under the ones around her with her left leg.

Seeing another one taking aim she shot to her feet and using her palm to smash the front off his helmet open. However one of the guards still standing quickly take the opening to aim at her back -BAM- only to get bash in the chest with a bo staff.

"Damn it Black! I thought I'd be married before having this much trouble with a woman!" Robin growled kicking down another guard and knock the rifle out the hand of the other one next to him, the girl he call Black gave him a rather coy grin at his words.

"Oh, is that an offer for engagement my dear Dra-"

"Black! We're leaving!" Robin yelled smashing a gas bomb into the ground and covering the place in smoke, quickly clearing it up they found much to their dismay the two were gone, looking for any sign of them they found none as the business man from before walk over to them with an unhappy look on his face.

"Call Furumizu." A few blocks away we see the red cloth hero swinging through the city while holding the mysterious girl bride style with a deep frown on his face.

"You had better have a good reason for breaking in there... Alicia." Robin said skillfully carrying her while using his gripping hook to swinging from one building to the next with a single arm, Alicia however gave a rather flirtatious smile like she was finding his annoyance amusing.

"I do but why don't we talk somewhere more comfortable?" Alicia replied while keeping a nice hold on his neck with her arms, Robins face never change but on the inside was thinking this would be a long night.


Dakota night time

The warm evening air blew gently as Gear flew through the air not in the best mood at the moment as Shenice had canceled their date to the movies at the last second saying she needed some time alone. That was a bad sign if he ever heard one, He'd need to get her to talk with him about what got her so down soon.

"Whoa." he gasped The street below was covered in rubble, three cop cars an ambulance, a huge damper wagon, one of those special vehicles utilized by the Raft. Something was going on here. He landed on the ground the cop turn about to aim at him before realizing it was Gear and quickly relaxed.

"Ya know sometimes I can't believe how great you kids are at coming in the right moment." Chief Barnsdale said walking to the teen superhero with Gear rising an eyebrow behind his green face plate, but before Gear could get a word out the Chief got right down to business.

"So we got your old pal Onyx who just try to break out back in restraint cuffs but while chasing after him with followed him to this place." the Chief said motioning for him to follow, (Gotta love the small take.) Gear's thought were dripping with sarcasm as he walk with the man but upon entering the place his eyes widen in shock. "This- This place is!"


The fair

The second date was going amazingly well as the two had begin to share many stories about their lives and exchanged so much information, as she moved closer to him, holding his arm as they walked through the park of the fair. They tried almost every ride and game, each and every ride they laughed with each other and there was a definite spark and heat that Virgil could feel, and by the way Yuri was looking at him she felt it to.

"Hey let try this one next." Yuri said pointing to one that was in front of them and Virgil had to face drop at the ride he saw; The tunnel of love. (I'm all for making out but that just cornee.) Virgil thought really not wanting to go on the ride.

"Come on the line so small let-" Yuri's words ended as her eyes shot open in horror and was force to snatch her arm away from Virgil, hiding it behind her back. "Yuri!?" was all he could say looking surprised at the girl and wondered if he had done something wrong.

"Sorry Vir, but I gotta- gotta go!" Without another word she ran off, leaving a confused behind, running through crowd after crowd Yuri despair at the timing this had to happen, (Why! Why now!?) she thought frantically before hiding behind a tent as she was force to let go of her arm watching the living armor shot out in tentacles wrapping over her entire arm even causing black marks to appear on the left side of her face and her left eye turn black and gold.

"What is going on!?"


Gear and Chief Barnsdale

"No doubt about it, this is Holocaust hid out... or was anyway." Gear mutter looking at the place that had been stripped leaving of nearly everything but the big computer in the wall.

"Really beside the fact the Onyx came here yelling help for Holocaust I'd had never guess." Chief Barnsdale said mumble sarcastically as Gear chuckle nervously.

"Yeah I guess that was a dead giveaway." Gear replied as they walk deeper into the place and Barnsdale sigh before looking at the computer in the wall.

"Yeah but I wonder why he didn't destroy that computer." Gear said walking up to it and was surprise to see the computer still on.

"I was too, but it seem Holocaust was using a unstable power source and destroying it might have ended with him having the thing blowing up in his face." Chief Barnsdale said, Gear already having jack in trying to find anything useful on Holocaust. However one file had Gear eyes widening in shock and horror as he read over it (This computer has a A.I. design into it!) Gear thought but that wasn't what had horrified him the most (And just any A.I design this is my design!)! Downloading the files as discreetly as possible so that the Chief did know what he was dong, Gear knew that he needed to get back The power complex to find out just what the hell was -BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM- on.

"Wha!" Gear and Barnsdale quickly turn at hearing gunfire only to have their eyes shoot seeing a rocket entering the coming at them and -BOOOOOOM!-


Yuri

(Why!?) Yuri thought over and over again hopping from one tant to another and praying to god that she was jumping high up enough that no one could see her face or who she was! (Why!?) reaching the end of the fair Yuri ran into a forest as fast as she could, (Why!?) the power of the Witchblade Surge once more as Yuri did her best at trying to keep the power under control but had never had this much trouble with it before and to be truthful this was really freaking her! Knees hitting the ground yuri could only scream out.

"Why! Why! Why is this happening!?"


A Gotham Penthouse

Leaning on his left arm Tim drake breath heavily while looking at the black flash drive on the nightstand, sweat was pouring down his back as he ran everything he just head over in his head.

"So that drive has intel on a case your friend was working on?" Tim asked, his body went rigid as he felt a pair of arms slip up behind his neck and press him against a nice set breasts and look into the eyes of Black Alicia.

"You really know how to ruin the mood." Her hands began to teasingly explore his flesh. Trying not to gasp at the sensations she was creating, Tim growled grabbing her hips shoved his dick into her and she moaned loudly.

"Really? Because it seem you're always in the mood!" Alicia somehow got up and laid Tim back on the bed and started riding him hard.

"Only with you, and yes! Kid Eternity was looking into the NSWF Company, through why I'm still unclear..." Alicia moaned as Tim set up and frowned (Earlier she said Kid Eternity vanish without a trace, and had been looking for him for thtee months now.) Tim though playing with her breasts as she bounce up and down on his lap.

"Unclear? does that mean she have at least some idea as to what he was working on?" Alicia open her eyes and stop moving for a moment. "Really you just can't till later for this?"


Gear and Chief Barnsdale

As the flames and smoke covered the what was left of Holocaust hid out, a man in a long brown coat walk in to the flaming mass wearing a cowboy hat, he shake his head seeming somehow disappointed.

"My My. I had hope to kill the of you two quickly." he said watching the smoke clear, Gear and Barnsdale were shown to be alive and well as a shields protected them.

"But now it seems you'll have to suffer quite a bit before you die." through the flames they saw a man wearing a cowboy outfit but was clearly japanese holding a shotgun by sheer reflex, Barnsdale fingered his firearm the moment they saw the guy who had somehow gotten his short black hair to fly wildly behind him. Without any wind. Creepy

"And you are?" Gear ask leaning his head in away so as only an eye was show, there was two reasons he did this, one: it was a lot more intimidating then his face, and two: it hid the fact he was scary out of his mind that at knowing if he had been a second slower both he and th Chief would be dead now.

"HA! Well I suppose the least I can for you is tell the name of the man about to kill you." he said placing the shotgun on his shoulder.

"Kaito... you can call me Kaito." Barnsdale's hand had been shaking badly since the man walk in as Gear sent some codes to Backpack to ready his Beam sabers, knowing a fight was sure to come.

"Okay, Kaito. You mind telling me what happen to the cops outside of here that should have stop you from coming end?" Barnsdale ask however the smirk that came to his face was very unpleasant. "Oh those guys... well I don't think... their doing too well..."

"What the hell did you do!?" the Chief yelled firing off rounds at Kaito, and to Gears surprise he dodge everyone like something from the matrix! Acting fast, Gear quick pulled out his Beam sabers and seeing Kaito take aim at the Chief, jump in front of him -BAM BAM BAM- and block the three round with a light shield made by his blade. Not about to give the guy another chance, Backpack had two shoulder slots open up and fire six Zap caps 'three from each shoulder at him' at Kaito who once again dodge all of them


A Gotham Penthouse

"If you want to know that badly then I'll tell you." Alicia said rolling her hips on top of him and Tim did everything he could to not groan out loud.

"The only thing Eternity left me to work with was that Furumizu, the CEO is after something." Tim listening to every word grabbed her hips and started pumping into her.

"And that something is?" Tim ask as Alicia lower her head to him, whispering into his ear. "The Witchblade!"


Gear and Chief Barnsdale

Rushing at speed that seem unreal to him, Gear try to slash at Kaito only for the man to duck under his attack as he reach the Chief Barnsdale and smash him in the face with the back of his shotgun sending him t the ground, Gear spin around as fast as he could trying to slash Kaito again, but as always Kaito was much quicker, ducking under him once while pulling out a hand gun and aiming it at Gear's right eye...

"Sorry kid but you got to die." hearing those words Barnsdale look up in horror at seeing Gear at gun point... then Kaito pull the trigger "BAM!"

"GEARRRR!"


The Forest with Yuri

The leaves began to spin around her as the wind blew harshly in the dead of night, however Yuri eyes where lock on that one place in the forest where a shadow slowly came ito view, the Witchblade's power Surge more seeminglt in excitement at the thought of meeting this person, everyer so slowly a young lady dark ballroom dress walk into sight as the wind blew evern harder then before and Yuri could do nothing but watch as the person made her way over to her. Nona of this made any sence! Who was this woman!? How could she make the Witchblade go out of control like this!?

Reach Yuri the lady drop to one knee and place a hand on top of Yuri's shoulder, and much to Yuri surprise the Witchblade began to calm down as her arm ad face slowly went back to normal. Yuri eyes widen as she stare into the dark brown one of the of lady in front of her, smiling gently. "You are... a lot younger then I thought you'd be.

"How did you- Who are you?" Yuri ask in a petrified state but the Lady kept gently smile.

"Finch, just call me Finch." she said helping Yuri to he feet. "And the power I have Angelus."

"The... Angelus...?"Yuri barely whisper and Finch nodded. "The mother force... of the Witchblade."

away.


To Be Continued.


The keeper of the Angelus has appeared before Yuri, what is her intentions and how will they play out with the Curator and Static?
