This is the chapter where I'm introducing our mystery girl's dark side. Nightwing is about to find out just how dangerous she can be.
Around 5:30,Dick Grayson's apartment. Dick returns home with groceries. After putting them away he gets a strange feeling and turns on his scanner.
Ratio voice: Reports of a disturbance at 27th and Grand, possible robbery in progress. Two unidentified female suspects, requesting assistance.
Dick suits up and heads out , on arrival he finds himself at a recently vacated warehouse with two rows of large trucks, each 15 trucks long. What looks like weapons crates are being transferred between the rows of trucks. Three men (an obvious leader and two body guards) stand with Lark while she inspects the merchandise, another woman directs the loading of the trucks out of sight. The sun is setting early in October's last days so Nightwing waits for the cover of darkness. Out of nowhere, the mystery girl lays down next to Nightwing.
Girl: (whispers sarcastically) So what are we looking at?
Nightwing: What the!? How did you...
Girl: Ne-ver-mind, just listen. 30 trucks, 30 driver, 3 "business men", Penguin's little chauffeur bitch and some other chick. Didn't get a good look at her. All I really know is it isn't good, (pulls out an assault riffle) they're runnin hot weapons and they come loaded.
Nightwing: When did you, where did you, where we're you keeping that?!
Girl: I tagged the trucks with tracker, so I figured we would just let them leave and track them down later so we can take out Lark an...
Nightwing: How long have you been here?!
Girl: I dunno, like 8, maybe 10 minutes.
*VVVVVVRRRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM* (weapons trucks begin to file out)
Girl: Ooooooo, they're leaving! Get ready!
Nightwing: Whoa, whoa, whoa. WE are not doing anything, YOU are going...
Girl: (scowls at Nightwing) Home? Why because I'm a girl and I can't handle it?
Nightwing: No, you're leaving because you're a rookie, you could have been seen and I don't trust you!
Girl: I didn't ask you to trust me, (turns to see the last of the trucks leaving) or your permission.
the girl shoots a grapple to the warehouse's main door and swoops in.
Girl: INCOMIN BITCHES!
The girl delivers a boot strait to Lark's temple, instantly downing her. She then begins beating Lark's unconscious body, allowing the three men to get away by car (almost running them over) and the woman to cartwheel out a back entrance. Nightwing grapples in to see the girl beating Lark on the ground.
Girl: BITCH! *WAHM* (punches echo off every wall) BITCH! *WAHM* BITCH! *WAHM*
Nightwing restrains the girl and handcuffs her behind her back, while she fights like hell to get free.
Girl: LET ME GO! LET ME GGGOOOOOO! IM NOT FINISHED WITH THAT BITCH! (screaming at the top of her lungs)
Nightwing: Shut up! (kneels down and starts inspecting Lark's battered body) You could have killed her!
Upon further inspection Lark suffers a broken jaw, a broken nose, multiple skull fractures, her neck appears broken and she has lost at least a pint of blood. The girl jumps over her arms to have her hands in front, she is covered in blood. Hunched over, shaking rapidly, panting and balling her eyes out she holds her grappling hook, ready to run.
Girl: That's what you get.
With this the girl flees out a back entrance. When Nightwing hears sirens he follows suit and tries to find the girl. He spends the rest of the night like this, but only finds his handcuffs on a rooftop.
