Middleton High School...
"Yoohoo! Mindy? You here, Sugar-Plum?" Joker cackled, firing off more rounds toward the ceiling.
The sounds of students screaming in fear caused Mindy to move into action. Slowly, she reached a shaky hand into her backpack to retrieve her butterfly knife. Once her hand wrapped around the could metallic surface of the knife, she fiddled to get it opened. She had accidentally nicked her hand on the blade, causing a cut on her palm.
Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Brandy giving her an incredulous look. The other blond was giving her a wide-eyed stare. Brandy quietly asked why she had that in her bag. She then asked why the Joker was looking for her, what was he talking about? Mindy just shrugged in response, not wanting her friend to become even more panicked than she already was.
The Joker released another insane laugh, firing off more rounds. The girls tucked themselves up under the table. Sami stayed positioned in front of them, just in case the Joker tried to come over in their direction. She also did this so Mindy could not foolishly charge at the clown.
The brunette looked toward Dick, who was in the process of contacting Batman. With a nod, she then told him that she was going to contact SHIELD as well. Before she could, several bullets flew through the air and hit her in the shoulder, arms, sides, and leg. She grunted and fell back, causing her teammates to call out to her in distress. Mindy watched with wide eyes, terrified for the older.
"Well, would you look who we have here? Is that you, Spider-Bat?" Joker asked, chuckling. He kept his gun aimed at the brunette's head.
Sami grunted and glared up at the psycho, holding her weaker shoulder as the wounds began to bleed. Her regenerating ability would not work unless she was able to remove the bullets. At the moment, she didn't have the proper tools, so she was pretty much shit out of luck.
Joker chuckled once again, "If you tell me where this little Mindy girl is, I'll only kill two or three of your friends. I originally wanted to kill more, but I figured you wouldn't like that. Hell! If you tell me, I'll only kill you!" He said, pressing the cool metal barrel to the girl's forehead.
Sami glared defiantly up at the clown, wanting to so badly to beat the other senseless. That would be a dumb move, considering her teammates and classmates would be at risk if she did so. She eyed the gun, calculating and trying to figure out how fast she could duck out of the way and disarm him. If she didn't and he had managed to shoot her in the head, her demonic powers would kick in and she would be a killing machine. Right now, she leaned more toward the first option.
The brunette cleared her throat as she turned her attention back to him, "I don't think Batman would mind if you had managed to kill me. I've been a pain in the ass this past week and I know he's just dying to strangle me." She informed him.
The barrel pressed harder against her forehead, "Don't quit your day job, kid. Jokes are my shtick." Joker ground out, "Now, how about that little girl?"
Sami shrugged, "Well, you're in a school. There are lots of little girls here. Why? Harley not cute enough for you anymore?" She asked.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Dick give a signal as if telling her Batman was on his way. She gave him a hidden thumbs up and kept Joker talking. Better he kept his attention on her than on everyone else.
Meanwhile, Mindy was trying to figure a way out of here. She did not think Joker knew she was out for revenge, so why was he looking for her? She tried to listen to the conversation between Sami and Joker, but all she could gather was that Joker was going to kill Sami if she kept it up with the sarcasm.
But why was he not following through with his threat? What was he waiting for? Her questions were answered when the Joker called someone else in, causing the blonde to stay frozen on the floor. No fucking way...
That dumbass Red Mist kid walked in, except he was wearing some type of Dominatrix getup and calling himself "The Motherfucker." He also had his entourage with him, which consisted of a giant muscled woman, a guy in a skull mask and dreads, and at least two other grunts. He entered much like the clown had, shooting at the ceiling. This caused the students to whimper. She heard Ben give a quiet "What the hell..."
"Seriously, where's Hit Girl? You shitholes must know where she is?" Motherfucker asked, pointing his gun at the students.
The Amazonian woman behind him grabbed a football player by the back of the neck and pulled him upward to her eye level, interrogating the poor kid. When she didn't get an answer, she threw him through the lunch counter. His friends called out to him in distress.
'Sami, what do we do?' Kim asked Sami telepathically.
'With all these bystanders, there's not much we can do.' Sami responded.
'Well, there is one thing. If we play it safe.' Jack reminded.
'Too risky.' Sami replied.
'What if-'
'Just stay put. Batman and SHIELD should be here soon.' Dick interrupted.
"How about you, Super-Douche?" Motherfucker asked, suddenly in front of Sami, "I'm surprised you and your crew aren't jumping into action."
'This asshole talking to me?' "You know we would, but unlike you guys, we are not willing to put innocent bystanders at risk." Sami replied, narrowing her eyes. She heard Jack telling her to be careful of what she said.
Motherfucker laughed before promptly pistol-whipping her. Kim and Mindy gasped, and Ben called out to his sister. Motherfucker mocked the brunette, calling her pathetic and weak. He then spit at her, causing Jack to shout.
Mindy watched Sami with confusion. Why was she not doing anything? Why take all this abuse? She, as well as the others, heard a growling noise. Jack cursed when he realized how much blonde the brunette had lost. He also realized that Sami's demonic side may have taken over due to the blood loss.
"What the fuck? You growling at me, bitch?" Motherfucker laughed, "You really are a cocky piece of shit. Ladies and Gentlemen, watch what happens when you act like a Super-Tool like Jr. Justice Avenger over here."
He then turned to the Amazon, Mother Russia, and told her to take Sami out. The tall blonde woman gave Sami the same treatment as the football player, but tossed the brunette further than the boy. Sami landed on one of the empty lunch tables in the far corner, breaking it in the process.
The Teen Hero grunted as splintered wood stabbed at her skin and pain shot up through her back. 'Well, this bites.' Sami thought, rolling off of the wood. She heard the beastly woman let out a battle cry and charged at her, causing Sami to jump to her feet. It seemed like the movement made her light-headed, but she had been able to move out of the titanic woman's path.
Mother Russia flew into one of the walls, but seemed to be unfazed by the impact as she sleeping dusted herself off. Sami and her then began to exchange blows. While everyone was distracted by the fight, Mindy saw this as her opportunity to change, pushing herself further under the table to avoid prying eyes. Once she had her mask in place, she leapt out from under the table in full uniform.
"Hey!" She called, drawing Motherfucker's attention toward her, "You looking for me, cunt?"
Motherfucker laughed, "Well, look who it is! Kick-Ass's little Hit Bitch! Just the chick we were looking for!"
"Boss, I thought we were looking for-" the henchman's words were silenced by a bullet to his brain.
The fight between Mother Russia and Sami paused (with Sami holding Mother Russia in a Full Nelson). Joker eyed Hit Girl, clearly unimpressed with this kid's presence. He made a comment about seeing scarier before sitting down at a nearby lunch table. He took a swig of a nerd's Gatorade as he watched the scene play out. Motherfucker better have transferred the funds to his account before this little girl killed him.
Hit Girl whipped out her Bo Staff causing Motherfucker to pull out his machete. He charged at the purple-haired girl. They began to fight. Mother Russia flipped Sami off of her back, continuing their fight. A henchman went to shoot Mindy, but Jack grabbed him in a chokehold in order to prevent the shot. Joker's crew decided to fight as well, causing the rest of the Teen Heroes to fight.
Joker released a laugh, unable to believe how much this fight had escalated. He nudged at the nerd sitting next to him, asking if he was seeing this. The nerd nodded furiously, hoping this lowered his chances of being killed.
Hit Girl dodged the rich boy's sloppy movements. For an evil villain, he really sucked at this whole combat thing. She had easily maneuvered away from him while he just carelessly swung his machete at her in hopes of cutting her. Out of the corner of her vision, she could see Mother Russia and Sami's fight. By the looks of it, it wasn't good. Sami was losing more blood and was becoming weary, losing against someone who should not even be considered a challenge. Nonetheless, Mother Russia seemed to have the upper hand.
"Alright, I'm bored." Joker said, getting up from his seat, "Hey, What's-Your-Face, those funds are in my account, right?"
"Yeah! Why?" Motherfucker called back.
His answer was a bullet to the back of the head. Hit Girl watched as Motherfucker's body spasmed on the floor, blood gushing from his skull. She then looked up at Joker, who now had his gun raised at her.
"No hard feelings, Kiddo." Joker said.
He went to shoot her, but she had used her staff to deflect the shots. She continued to do this until he ran out of bullets in his gun. He then groaned, tossing the useless weapon away from himself. He then pulled out a crowbar and ran at the younger. Unlike Motherfucker, Joker was skilled, able to land some blows to the young girl's sides and legs. With one particularly hard blow, Hit Girl was on the ground.
"So which hurts more? Front hand," THWACK "or backhand?" THWACK.
Mindy screamed as the crowbar made contact with her sides. She had been shot at, sliced, and beaten up, but never in her life had she been beaten with a crowbar. She screamed as he hit her again.
Jack heard the scream but was currently busy with a henchman. He looked toward Sami, "Sami! Six o'clock!" He called.
Having finally subdued the steroidal Amazonian, Sami turned to look at what Jack was talking about. She wished she had not have turned around. The sight before her was enough to make something inside of her snap. She ran at the clown just as Batman broke into the door behind her, ignoring him calling out to her.
"Say hello to Robin for me." Joker said, about to deliver the final blow.
Hit Girl braced for the impact, seeing her life flash before her eyes.
The blow never came. Instead, a roar could be heard as Joker was tackled to the floor. She weakly looked over to see Sami pounding the clown's face in with her bare hands. Sami released another roar as she continued her assault, the body beneath her laughing hysterically.
All Sami could feel was rage and raw hatred, as well as the need to make Joker bleed. She blacked out as her body went on autopilot, beating the clown within inches of his life. Before she could kill him, she felt something, or someone, rip her away from the criminal. She screeched in anger and went to lash out, but stopped when she realized that it was Batman who had grabbed her.
"Enough!" He yelled, pulling her away from the broken clown, "That little girl needs your help more than he does."
Mindy. How could she have forgotten so quickly? The brunette was released from the Dark Knight's hold before running over to Mindy's side. She pulled the young girl into her arms as she checked for a pulse. With a sigh of relief, she watched the girl I take unsteady breaths. The girl looked up at her with exhausted eyes,
Sami felt tears in her eyes and a tug at her heart, brushing a piece of faux purple hair out of the younger girl's face. Mindy gave a weak smile before falling unconscious. Sami let out a yell, calling for Medical Attention. SHIELD's medical team rushed over, taking the girl from Sami and putting her on a gurney. They loaded her up into the ship and flew up to the Helicarrier.
The last thing Sami remembered before fainting was Jack telling her that everything would be alright. That Mindy would pull through.
