Hit Girl
Summary: There's a new hero in Middleton with a severe stalking issue when it comes to Sami while at the same time, a new girl shows up in Middleton High School with eyes set on the Teen Hero leader. A new villain also arrives in the small town looking for this "Hit Girl". Will Sami be able to put aside her weirded outness long enough to help the young hero? Or will obsession get in the way? Or is everything as it seems? So many questions, but what are the answers?

Author's Note: I'm pretty sure Hit Girl aka Mindy McCready is about ten, so I'm sticking with that. Title has been changed.
City of Middleton, 12:01am...
"Sam! Nothing's happening! We're so freaking bored!" Ben complained into his comm. link while hanging over the side of a building. Him and Robin were in charge of West Side while Sami and Hit Girl were on the East Side, making Jack responsible for everything in between. So far, this was about the fourth or fifth time Sami had heard that very same complaint. From the very same person. Again.
Sami sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose in absolute annoyance. Of course nothing was happening! They just got out here ten minutes ago! They were later than usual today due to the fact that Mindy and Ben refused to get along for more than five minutes thus resulting in a ridiculously long argument/fist fight. The older Teen Hero still didn't know what possessed her to still take the two of them out for patrol instead of grounding their asses. Sami turned to look down at Hit Girl, who was in the process of flipping her Butterfly Knife around in her hands. She pulled up a holo-screen to see what exactly Ben and Robin were doing. The older hero rolled her eyes. Ben was messing around on his phone off the side of a building while Robin did various flips and stretches next to him. Typical,
"Hey," Hit Girl said, Sami looked down at her, "where the hell are all the villains at?"
Sami just gave her a shrug, confused herself. Where were the villains? They were usually out right about now and causing destruction left and right. Something was definitely not right here. A scream on the East Side made the heroes turn their heads toward that direction. Gun shots sounded after, making the heroes sprint and leap from roof to roof until they had reached their destination. A gun fight between enemy gangs, one leader held the other 's girlfriend hostage in front of him.
With another eye roll, Sami had made a motion, telling Ben and Robin to get behind the guy with the hostage, while she and Hit Girl went after the guy pointing the gun toward the hostage and taker. Robin and Ben began taking out their assigned gang, startling the leader and making him release the girlfriend. She ran to a nearby street and just kept going without looking back. Sami fought her half of the opposite gang members while Hit Girl killed her half, including the worried boyfriend/leader. Once the team of heroes completed their tasks, Jack had finally showed up on his hoverboard. He flipped his goggles back and looked at the bloodied mess the purple girl had caused,
"I'm guessing I just missed a fight/murder?" he asked with a raised brow. Sami looked from him to Hit Girl, who just looked at the elder with irritation,
"I know, I shouldn't have killed any of those assholes, but prison is like a slap on the wrist and these fuckers aren't good enough for cells!" Hit Girl explained with her hands raised in defense. Sami sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, standing straight,
"First, no cursing-"
"But you curse all the time!" Hit Girl exclaimed,
"You're ten years old!"
"Ten and three-fourths!"
"Doesn't matter! Second, these gang members aren't good enough for death. The only good enough solution for these thugs is prison, because their only salvation would be death and the guards will make sure that they don't get that salvation and suffer for as long as possible. Third, during all of these killings, did you ever once think about what would happen if you had accidentally stabbed Ben or Robin with your Bo Staff?"
"But, I wouldn't have!"
"In the heat of the fight, you could have! When you're going, you go and don't stop. If you would've stabbed one of them, you wouldn't have realized it until it was too late. You can't afford to be careless, let alone risk a team mate." Sami finished.
Hit Girl glared up at the elder, tears burning at the younger's eyes,
"You don't understand! You'll never understand! You wouldn't be able to kill someone even if an innocent life depended on it!" Hit Girl hollered. She put her staff away and marched off to the camaro. Sami just watched as Ben and Robin stalked after the younger. The brunette felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to look back at Jack,
"Little harsh there, don't you think?" he asked. She released another sigh,
"I know. I it's just, I understand exactly what is going on with her. I gave up killing people because I thought about those risks. What would happen if I had accidentally stabbed and/or shot you, Kim, Ron, or any of the other Teen Heroes. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I don't want another child to be corrupted by that hell called guilt. I don't know where she learned all of that, but I want to. I really do so I might be able to help her "heal" so to speak. I can babysit kids, but this girl told me in private, that she wanted me to be her guardian. I don't know if I can. I'm not-"
"You're not Bruce Wayne?" Jack asked. Sami nodded and gave a sigh once more, this one shakier than the others. Jack gave her shoulder a firm squeeze,
"Look, I know what she's going through, you know, minus the killing. She just needs time to cool off. Maybe you need to talk to her about this. Figure out why she chose you. Once you understand that, then ask her about what happened to her family. From there, she might be open to your help." Jack explained with the tongue of a wise man. Sami looked to her long time best friend with a thankful smile,
"What the hell would I do without you, Jay?" she asked. Jack gave a smile and patted her on the back,
"Probably go insane. Now, let's go before Ben decides that he wants to learn how to drive." he said as they both headed back to the Camaro.
Big Daddy's and Hit Girl's Abandoned Safehouse...
A grunt cut through the air as a fist collided with someone's jaw. The sound of grunting echoed off the walls of the room as Kick Ass landed in his side on the floor. He was tied up to a wooden chair and was currently being beaten to death by Mother-Fucker's goons. Mother-Fucker himself was currently watching the "show" while asking about Hit Girl's whereabouts every other hit,
"Where the fuck is the little bitch, Kicked-Ass?" Mother-Fucker hollered, kicking the hero in the ribcage.
Kick-Ass grunted and coughed, coughing up blood, "I...I don't k-know. Wouldn't t-tell you if I-I did know."
"TELL ME!" Mother-Fucker hollered, pulling out his gun.
Kick-Ass smiled, showing off his bloody teeth before spitting in the villain's face. Mother-Fucker cried out, furiously wiping the blood off of his face in disgust. He looked down at his hand before looking back at the fallen hero. He aimed the gun at the green clad teenager,
"I'm gonna kill you, and when I find that little shit, I'll kill her too." MF said.
Kick-Ass gave a laugh, "You won't stand a chance. She probably found a nice group of people who will hand your ass to you. When that happens, I'll laugh loud as shit."
MF didn't reply, cocking his gun, "See you in hell, Kick-Ass."
A gunshot rang out throughout the room as blood splattered the floor. Mother-Fucker had blown Kick-Ass's brains out. The villain handed the gun off to one of his goons and walked out of the room in silence. He left a trail of blood behind him.
Middleton, Parker Residence...
The camaro had pulled up into the drive way and Hit-Girl wasted no time throwing open the car door and storming toward the back door behind the house. Sami and Ben watched from the car as Mindy yanked on the house door furiously, cursing at the object blocking her way in,
"How long do you think it'll take her to realize that she needs a house key?" Ben asked.
The two heroes heard the sound of shattering/splintering wood hitting the ground. Both brunettes turned to look at the young purple hero. The same young hero who had just taken out their heavy secured door with her foot. The ten year old marched right inside without making an attempt to fix the door or cover up her tracks. She didn't even take a second look at it. Just walked right by it without remorse. Ben shook his head and made tsking noises,
"Mom is so not going to let her stay here when she sees this." he said.
Sami rubbed her temples in annoyance, going up on to the front porch to try and fix the door. This was the last thing she needed to deal with right now. And she sure as hell was not going to let Mindy go off on to the streets again. A little girl like her didn't need to live that type of life right now. As the brunette was fixing the front door, Ben contemplated helping his older sister. Instead, he opted to just watch,
"You know, that piece is upside down." Ben said with a smile.
"Shut the hell up, it's so not." Sami simply said.
Silence passed between them for a while. Neither one of them had said anything and they hadn't spoke of the mission like they usually do. Hit Girl just changed everything for their world. Sami really wanted the little girl to fit in and be happier. What the teenager had to figure out first was why Hit Girl saught her out. After the door was fixed, Ben dismissed himself to his room and Sami headed up to Mindy's room.
Mindy's Room...
The blond had her face buried in the pillows, crying her little blue eyes out. She missed her father. She missed her godfather Marcus and felt like an ass for paying someone to replace him while traveling to Middleton from Gotham. Ever since that night, Mindy hadn't felt the same. She felt too dependent and too bitchy all of the time now. She had also felt so hostile, well, more hostile than usual. The girl rolled over on to her back and was about to fall asleep.
Until someone knocked on the fucking door,
"Go the fuck away!" Mindy called.
The door opened anyway as Sami came inside,
"Mindy?" Sami said gently as she sat down at the end of the bed, laying a hand on the little girl's leg. The blond turned back over on to her stomach and buried her face into the pillow once again,
"What the fuck do you want?" Mindy hissed, though it came out muffled through the pillow.
Sami pulled her hand away and put it back in her lap, looking at the now sobbing younger with sorrow. The older girl just wished she could help the younger, but Sami didn't know what was wrong or why the younger was so upset. It couldn't have been the fact that Mindy had killed someone. It could've been the argument earlier, but it seems like more than just words were able to hurt the younger girl. This made Sami think that there was a much deeper reason for Mindy's sadness,
"Mindy, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."
"Why the fuck should I tell you?"
"Because I can easily just escort you to the nearest Police Department." 'Or insane asylum.' Sami thought the last part to herself.
Mindy sat up and looked at the elder, "Yeah, right. You don't even have the balls to kill the fucking Joker when you're in Gotham." the blond spat.
Sami was about to make a comment when the thought struck her. How the hell did Mindy know that? The Joker always remained in the Gotham Area. The only news reports of her being in Gotham were for charity events, not crime-fighting. Batman usually told Sami to scram before the cops or paparazzi showed up and she did just that. So how the hell could Mindy have known that Sami had fought against the Joker?
"Mindy, how did you know that I fought the Joker?" Sami asked.
Mindy hadn't answered at first. She had actually stayed silent for a bit before she had answered, "It's all over the news," the young girl said, not too confident in her answer.
Sami got her. Mindy was always confident when she spoke, and that answer wasn't confident,
"You're lying."
"How do you know?"
"Because I'm gone before the Paps show up."
Mindy didn't reply. No witty retort or smartass slur. Just nothing.
There's the end of that chapter, sorry if it is not up to Par with my other fics.
