Please read and review. Short chapter, but still hopefully a good one.

"Did you get her?"
"Yeah, I got her. It was a piece of cake, just like I said it would be. You worry too much, boss man. Why were you so worried?"
"….Just keep her unconscious and restrained, Mr. X."
…...
Of course I was never one to listen to authority. Never did. Never will. Playing by the rules is boring. Plus I can't help it if I'm just a naturally curious person.
"Wake up, Princess."
Blondie stirred. I kept her locked up in her restraints just like the S man said. I just wanted Blondie's mouth.
What did the S man want with her anyway? She was a scrawny little thing with not even a nice chest. Now Starfire was girl with a nice chest. Man this warehouse smelled.
Blondie stirred and made a noise. I watched as her blue eyes fluttered open. And they opened wide. She looked terrified.
I watched her eyes move from me, to the ropes that held her to a wooden chair that was just like the one I was sitting in. Her eyes moved back to me. She was terrified.
Excellent.
"Morning Blondie, how do you like your eggs?" I cooed. It was nine o'clock at night, but who cares.
She just stared back at me, like a deer caught in the head lights.
"Don't answer to Blondie, huh? I came up with a few others. Princess. Girly. Not very original, but what are you gonna do?"
She continued to stare.
"How about Terra?"
"That's not my name. My name is Miranda Pilgrim," she stuttered. At least she was talking now.
"Well it says her-" I pulled out my papers with a flourish "That your name is Terra. You just go by Miranda Pilgrim. You have two dads and a bunch of friends- two that I managed to hit with sleeping darts. Plus you have a nice house and go to some sort of school…."
"Yeah, a good school too." she squeaked. She avoided looking at my mask, and just stared at the floor. I couldn't have that could I?
I grabbed her chin and pulled up to face mine. This Terra girl looked like she was going to cry. Pathetic.
"Don't tear up on me, babe. I haven't even begun to ask my questions. But if you answer them quickly and without breaking down, I promise to go easy." I hissed in her ear.
She nodded her head vigorously. Good. I let go.
I held my papers out for Terra. "Read it."
She did.
I pulled the papers back. "These papers say your name is Terra. You just go by Miranda Pilgrim. You have two dads and a bunch of friends. You have a nice house, and go to some sort of school, right."
Terra nodded.
"Does it say anything else?" I asked folding my hands together gently.
Terra shook her head.
"Exactly." I said with a smirk. Of course she couldn't see it, but it still managed to give me intense satisfaction.
"So Terra, why does the S man want you?" I inquired.
"Th…Th-the S man? Who…Whose the S ma-man?" tears were running down Blondie's face. Great, just what I needed- a crying kid.
"The S man! Slade! He's coming here in exactly four hours to pick you up!" I snarled. Patience was never something that I had much of.
"Stop crying."
"I-I ca-can't"
"Stop it!"
"I-I'm trying!"
"Stop. It."
"Wh..Why- are you a-asking me these questions?" she sobbed.
I took a deep breath.
"Slade hired me to kidnap you. Why he didn't do it himself I dunno? He told me to get cha. Keep you sedated and locked up tight. He was crazy with the amount of security he wanted on you. Slade's only paying me five thousand for this gig and I figure I could get more. Plus I'm just naturally curious." I stated tilting my head.
Losing my cool would be bad for my image, even though Blondie was really asking for it.
"I-I'm a princess. I was in da-danger, so I was put in a protection program in J-Jump City. This Slade g-guy was probably looking for ransom money." Blondie coughed out.
"Well, I guess Princess was a better nickname than I thought it was." I said with a smile. I wiped back Terra's tears. She flinched and shut her eyes when I came in contact with her skin, which made me smile even more.
"Quit your crying, babe. I got everything I needed to know. Get ready to go, where taking a short trip. Don't worry about Slade, he's not getting his grubby little hands on my princess." I chuckled. I stood up and let Terra's head drop. She began to cry again. I just let out a laugh as I untied her bonds. I defiantly didn't need them
Once the last rope fell I pulled Blondie to her feet. She had brought her bawling down to a small sniffle as she rubbed the snot off her face. She then turned her head towards me.
"What's your name?" she asked between sniffs.
"Why it is Red X, Miss Terra." I said casually as I led her to the exit. Princess had ceased snorting. Good thing since I hate babies.
"Thanks, I got everything I needed to know."
My eyebrow rose.
"Idiot." Terra smirked.
Her eyes then lit up bright yellow.
Well shit.
