Chapter 3: The Hood and the Cat
Ivo's Lab
The genius in cybernetics and robotics was in process of scanning Naruto's cybernetic body for any malfunctions or obscurities. The screen in front of his was giving him an outline of the blonde's body and diagnosing the functions of the limbs and organs that had to be replaced. Naruto was strapped to an oval like device clad in a pair of black boxers and hovering over the floor while being scanned.
"Hmmm… everything seems to be in order… there are no negative side effects with the cybernetic parts and organic parts" Ivo inspected with keen eyes "The nanomachines are doing an excellent job keeping them in line." With that he pressed a blue button and the machine whirred and rotated so that Naruto was facing upwards and gently placed itself on the ground. The shackles unlock and he places his feet on the ground. His body may appear human but the difference was the outlines around certain parts of his body (Like Raiden's was before the end of Metal Gear Solid 4) replacing his lost limbs with cybernetic one but with the help of his vast amount of chakra, they were able to function like he never lost them.
"So tell me doc, how long will it take you to complete this 'serum' of yours?" Naruto questioned as he was handed a pair of black pants and a sleeveless shirt by one of the man's assistants.
"Heh, can't wait to be all flesh and bone again huh lad?" Ivo questioned humorously and got a chuckle from the blonde.
"I can hold out, why did you need anything else for my surgery?" Naruto asked.
"The only thing I really need is the data that contains the info on restoring lost tissue and the only corporation that holds that data is STAR Labs. I could make a request to the director to let me borrow some of the data since it's a secret project the medical sector of the company is working on and the security's extremely heavy." Ivo answered. "The only downside is that it hasn't been tested on a human and we don't want to risk any casualties."
"Hmmm… then I'll do it." Naruto answered, surprising Ivo at the risk he wanted to take.
"Are you sure lad?" Ivo Questioned "If this idea fails you could end up worse than you were when I found you and dear Satsuki. You could more than likely die if this operation fails." He finished expressing a serious look on his face.
"I'm positive" Naruto answered, sporting a calm and serious expression "If I could survive from an explosion that took nearly half of my body, I'll survive this procedure. I've stared death in the face since I knew how to walk and talk and gave it a good kick in the ass during those times it wanted to claim me. Another near death experience won't change my mind."
Ivo couldn't help but respect the youngster due to most people fearing death but then again not everyone is a super ninja who fought off beings that would give the Heroes of this world a run for their money. "I think I'll give Garrison a call on this, after all he does owe you from that assassination attempt by Deadshot."
Naruto chuckled as he remembered that encounter with the world's best sharpshooter but ended up losing his shooting arm and his dignity. He would've killed the man but thought losing a limb is punishment enough before Deadshot was sent off to Belle Reve.

Training Room
Satsuki was panting lightly as she held her Chokuto in her right hand garbed in her training outfit that consisted of a dark blue skin tight training shirt that exposed her toned midriff and wore a pair of hip hugging biker shorts that left little to the imagination and a pair of black training shoes. She got into her stance and proceeded to perform the sword technique that was based off of the movements of a snake she learned as Orochimaru's disciple. Combined with her flexibility and agility made Satsuki extremely formidable against anyone she came across even if that person was stronger or faster than her, plus her Sharingan gave her a major edge in terms but she also learned how to not rely on it all the time.
After performing a series of horizontal and vertical slashes she flips sideways and performs a spin kick with her left leg and flips backwards, rising a good 10 feet into the air before landing back down in a crouching position. Clapping echoed in the training room so she stood back up and smiled as Naruto walked into the room with a smile of approval at her performance.
"Every time I see you dance I just can't help but admire your finesse and beauty Satsuki-chan." Naruto replied with a towel in hand and tosses it to her. She rolls her eyes at the compliment since she's heard the remark every time she works out.
"Wish I could say the same for you, baka." Satsuki remarks, getting a mock hurt expression form her boyfriend.
"Oh Hime you wound me." He said, clutching his heart in a dramatic fashion but chuckles at her.
"Anyway, how did your test go?"
"It went well actually, everything's functioning well so I have nothing to worry about at the moment." He answered, flexing his cybernetic right arm. Satsuki approached him and placed her hands around the limb, rubbing it in an affectionate manner. Naruto noticed the hint of sadness in her eyes as she gazed at his replaced arm so he reached out and placed his hand against the side of her face and Satsuki tilted her head on his palm.
"Everything's gonna be fine Satsuki-chan. I don't regret what I did back when that teme tried to pull that Kamikaze move on us." He assured her before wrapping his arms around her frame and pulling her closer to his body. Satsuki sighs and rests her head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat echo in her ear.
"You always say that." She muttered and receives a kiss on the forehead by him.
"I know but it always does in the end right?" Satsuki nods before looking up at him, Onyx meeting Cerulean. Kami she just loved looking into his eyes as they held such warmth and compassion despite everything they've been through. She was about to say something until Ivo's voice echoed from the loud speaker for her and Naruto to come to his lab. "Well we can't let the good doctor wait now can we?"
Satsuki shook her head and headed over to the bench to grab her sweat jacket and puts it on before joining up with Naruto.
The Cave
It's been two weeks since 'Supergirl' as Robin called her joined up with the young heroes and lived in the former base of the Justice League when they started out and needless to say it wasn't bad so to speak since the place is nicely furnished. The only issue aside from Wally's constant flirting was Superman mainly because she hasn't seen her 'donor' after the incident from Cadmus and it upset her to no end, considering she has the same abilities as the man of steel, she still needed to learn how to use them properly and was hoping he could help her.
She's currently sitting on a couch in the living room watching a television show called NCIS (don't judge me this is a badass show). She was garbed in a black long sleeved shirt that hugged her figure with an S symbol around the middle of her ample chest with a pair of form fitting jeans and black boots that gave her the appearance of a female biker with her hair done up in a high ponytail.
In the kitchen Miss Martian was in the process of making some chocolate chip cookies she picked up from a TV show that involved cooking. Like Supergirl, Miss Martian, or M'gann M'orse, was a new member of the covert team though the difference between her and the female Kryptonian is that she was more bubbly personality wise and tended to get excited especially if it came to meeting different people.
She walked over to the couch and sat in the opposite side, stirring the cookie dough. "So Supergirl is there anything interesting on the TV that you like?" She asked in an attempt to make conversation.
"No" was the ravenette's answer as she clicked the channel button to a different show.
"Oh okay…" Silence reigned for a few seconds before she spoke up again "Well is there anything particular that interests you? Like a good book, a movie, or maybe even a boy perhaps?"
Crack!
Supergirl's reaction to the last word caused her to accidently crush the remote in her hand and the female Martian blinked in surprise at her response. After realizing what she did Suprgirl drops the broken remote and get up.
"I'm… gonna go in the training room for a bit." She said before walking away and had Miss Martian noticed she would've realized that the genetically altered clone sported a hint of pink on her face.
"Hmmm… I hope I didn't embarrass her." Megan wondered as she headed back into the kitchen. "I think a nice batch of cookies will cheer her up." She hummed happily as she used her telekinesis to levitate a cookie tray on the counter and prepared to make the cookies.
Ivo's Lab
"So tell me… what do you two think of the new and improved Amazo?" Ivo asked his two bodyguards who were wide eyed and for a good reason. This Amazo looked more human than it previously did. The cyborg was a 9 foot tall muscular male with a tan like complexion and was garbed in what looked like dark orange armor with matching boots and a black body suit. The android's hair was styled in a spiky Mohawk-like fashion and red with matching brows and its eyes were forest green.
The duo continued to stare at the newly designed android, blinking a couple of time until Naruto rubbed his chin in thought. "Well it's… different from the last design." The blonde answered, tilting his head to the side with a raised brow.
"Hmm." Satsuki does the same except she folds her arms to her chest and tilts her head the opposite direction. "It reminds me of those Japanese Anime.
"This one isn't gonna malfunction like the last one did is it?" Naruto questioned and got a negative shake of the head from Ivo.
"Not this time lad, I made sure to reprogram its functions and prevent it from being hacked with the extensive use of powerful firewalls and several anti-viral programs and also I included a failsafe password just in case." Ivo assured them "Not only that but this model is more efficient than the last one and gave it a new nice set of abilities minus the replication part of course. It's durability is great enough to withstand a hit from a speeding freight train and its strength could match the likes of Superman's. It can still fly and even fire lasers from its optical organs."
"That's nice and all but can it speak?" Naruto questioned.
"Yes I can." Amazo replied back in monotone, surprising the blonde hybrid and getting a chuckle from Ivo.
"Yes I've installed a voice box into its design and give it a speech pattern so that it can communicate with others and he is even multilingual." He answered, patting the cyborg on the arm. "I have to say he is a further step ahead of the Monqi bots I invented."
"I see," Naruto glances at the stoned faced android before a grin forms on his face. "Well Amazo it's nice to meet the new in improved you." He brought his hand forward in a gesture to shake his hand but Amazo simply stares at it and glances back at Naruto.
"What is this form of gesture?" It questioned.
"It's how people greet another." Naruto replied back to the android. Amazo continued to stare at the hand and Naruto before it brought its hand up and slowly shook hands with the blonde. "So do what gave you the idea to make Amazo more human like in terms?"
"My intention for this version is for him to learn about the different aspects of human beings and to see how well he can communicate with us as a fully constructed cyborg. Even though he's an artificial intellect, he has no form of displaying emotions or form of response." Ivo explained.
"The last one was able to replicate the skills of others by studying them, but by trying to learn too much, caused it to malfunction." Satsuki said with Ivo nodding.
"But in this one I remove the replicating ability and allowed it to study under its own pace so that is can observe, adapt, and evolve, intellectually of course."
"Cool, so how will it bode in combat?" Naruto wondered only to get smacked in the head by Satsuki.
"You're not fighting the android Uzumaki." Satsuki chastised.
"Fine I won't fight the Android… can I spar with him? I'll hold back I promise." He begged.
"No!" Both Ivo and Satsuki snapped back.
Gotham City
Sionis Industries
"What do you mean the last shipment of weapons was destroyed?!" Roman Sionis AKA Black Mask roared from his desk (To make a description short I based Roman off the version from Under the Red Hood), glaring angrily at his female assistant, Ms. Li while his guards were cringing from the murderous glare. "I have spent weeks getting these shipments in and do you know how much money every single piece of steel cost?!"
"A lot sir." Ms Li answered.
"YES! A LOT!" He spat, slamming his fists on the desk. "$750,000 dollars down the drain thanks to that damn bat!"
"…um boss…"
"WHAT?!" The guard flinched from the man's response and spoke up.
"There is a rumor going around about this character who's been attacking and demolishing countless illegal operations and it's not Batman or his sidekick." This right here made Roman pause and give his hired help a look that said explain.
"Elaborate." He ordered.
"Yes, well this guy from what I've heard is garbed in a biker attire and wears a red helmet though unlike Batman he doesn't leave them for the cops… well not alive that is." The guard explain.
"Say what?" Mask questioned and the second guard nodded.
"It's true boss, I even heard he killed a dozen mob enforcers that were guarding one of Falcone's Lieutenants and offed him as well."
"Well isn't that just dandy," Black Mask muttered, rubbing his temples in frustration before looking up "Listen I want the word to spread about this nut job and gather any information you can and if there are any sightings of him, I want him dead." He finished in a tone that stated he meant business, so the goons nodded and left the office to perform their task.
Gotham City
Ice Berg Lounge
"You're not gonna get away with this Penguin!" Detective Bullock shouted, tied up by rope and dangling over what appeared to be a large tank while the bird themed villain cackled from his seat, smoking a cigar.
"Oh really? From where I'm sitting I think I am." The pudgy midget stated as he pulled the cigarette from his lips and releases a puff of smoke as he witnessed the shark fin cutting through the water in a circular fashion. "You think you can just waltz into my place without an invitation? I don't think so. You see lad I tend to hate having uninvited guests and if they refuse to leave, I introduce them to Tiny." One of the guards tossed a large chunk of chum into the water and a giant great white's head erupted from the water and snaps it into its jaws. Bullock screams in fright as the shark drags it underwater, leaving the remains and blood floating over the surface.
"He's what you you'd call my personal garbage disposal, getting rid of pests like you or those who fail to meet my standings, jolly fellow he is and isn't picky about what he eats." Peguin stated as he grinned at the frightened detective. "That little snack I gave him won't even fill up his stomach though judging from your size, he should be good for a good week before being fed again, I just hope you don't give him indigestion." He cackles and orders him to be dropped in.
One of the thugs presses a button to the crane and the detective is slowly lowered towards the water where Tiny is waiting for his next meal. Penguin cackles like a madman as he watched Bullock's thrashing form trying to escape the bindings as he was lowered even closer. Suddenly a crash was heard and two of penguin's goons came flying out of the broken door and crashing into the opposite side of the wall. "What the?" Penguin wondered as Fox came walking into the room with his hands in his pockets.
"Who the fuck are you?" Cobblepot shouted as the crane stopped in placed, leaving Bullock to sigh in relief while his goons each drew their automatics and aimed at the hooded sword wielder.
"Put those things away! I don't need you all damaging my merchandise!"
"Greetings penguin, the names fox and I've come here to collect a rock my clients are interested in that you possess." Fox informed the criminal mastermind.
"Oh? What type as I have countless rocks in my collection?"
"It's called the Ambre Jeune Perdu, a glowing gold colored gem that one of your goons pilfered from a museum. I would like to have it with no trouble." Fox requested.
"And if I refuse?" Oswald questioned in an amused tone and was on the receiving end of a predatory smile.
"Then I'm gonna take it from you." He brushes the left side of his coat away and reveals the sheathed form of Kushinada. "And I'd really hate to tear up your establishment." Penguin responded by laughing right at the hooded blonde.
"Take it from me? Let's get one thing straight here Fox, No one steals from me and those who do end up in the shark like this tub of lard is." He pointed his umbrella at the bound officer and points it at Fox. "You want my Jewel, you have to get through my boys here."
Several stepped forward pulling out stun rods and knives. A smile curves up on Foxes lips as he saw the thugs try to be menacing as they slowly approached him. Fox chuckles as he slowly drew his weapon and the crimson blade hummed as red electricity arched around the blade. "Okay then, let's dance." Fox declares with a feral grin on his face.
With Satsuki
The Female Uchiha frowned as she inspected the bodies of the dead drug dealers. They were pierced with kunai that were aimed in vital areas and not only that but judging from the blunt trauma force in several spots they too were fatal areas to hit on the human body. Not only that but their throats were slit open but not in a reckless way because the thin cut lining the throat was delivered swiftly.
She sighs and pulls her mask back up, stepping backwards, and into the shadows as the sirens of a police car echoed through the streets.
Drug Lab
"Hey man didn't yah hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Several drug dealers got taken out by some guy wearing a red helmet."
"Think it was one of Batman's sidekicks?"
"Nah couldn't be, the Bat and his groupies don't kill, you know that."
"You never know man, with all these costumed wearing freaks on the loose one could snap."
"Tch, you worry to mu-"
BLAM!
Blood and brain matter flew out of the back of a thug's skull from a bullet and he hit the ground like a rock.
"Holy shi-"
BLAM!
The other goon met the same fate as he got a bullet to the brain. A figure came walking out of the shadows of the building and from the physique was male. He was garbed in a biker like outfit with what looked like a black utility belt. Two gun holsters were strapped around his chest with a pair of .45automatics on each side and the head gear he wore consisted of a blood red customized motorcycle helmet (Yes people this is the Red Hood from Under the Red Hood).
"I here I thought there would be more of you." Red Hood states as he twirled his handgun before holstering it. The lights suddenly snapped on and around the catwalk were over a dozen men armed with AKs or M14 automatic rifles aimed at him with the lasers aimed at every part of his body. "I stand corrected." He muttered before diving behind a truck as gunfire went off and hit the cargo hold of the truck.
Outside Satsuki heard the sound of gunfire echoing in a warehouse nearby and decided to go check it out. Inside, Red Hood fired stayed as low as he could to avoid the bullets flying through air. "I really should learn to look before I leap." He mutters as he reached into his utility belt and pulls out a frag grenade. He pulls the clips and chucks it over the gunfire.
"Grenade!" one of the shooters yells as the bomb sails into the air and lands onto the catwalk but due to the gunfire they couldn't hear him and the grenade explodes, sending the goons flying in different direction and hit the hard ground though some were killed in the explosion. The rest were pretty banged up but still functioning. They picked up their weapons and started to slowly search for their target. Red on the other hand was hiding behind some crates with his gun locked and loaded and slowly creeping around.
The one goon was scanning the area, unaware that he was getting close to Red Hood. Once he stopped in front of a large crate, a sharp pain entered his back and before he could scream, a hand wrapped around his mouth and he was pulled into the shadows. Several others me the same fate as they were either grabbed into the shadows or knocked out.
The last remaining goon trembled in fear with his gun rattling due to the fact that none of others were around the area. "Oh God I don't wanna die." He whimpered out only to hear a clicking sound and the end of a hand gun pressed against the back of his head, causing him to freeze up.
"Then you shouldn't be working for scum like Black Mask." Red Hood whispered as he slowly squeezed the trigger.
"P-please man… don't do this… I'm only in this to feed my wife and kid that's on the way."
"I miss the part where that's my problem, say goodnight scum." Just as he squeezed the trigger, a shuriken whizzed through the air and knocked the gun out of his hand.
"Whoa what the?" He didn't get to finish due to being struck in the back of his neck and falling to the ground unconscious. Satsuki looked down at him and then back at the trembling goon.
"Leave." Was all she said. He didn't need to be told twice as he scrambled to his feet and took off, leaving the female Uchiha with the knocked out vigilante. She hoists him over her shoulder and shunshins away with him to a different spot.
Ice Lounge
Bullock had seen a lot of crazy things in his life. He's seen a cannibalistic human croc hybrid, an insane clown, a zombie on steroids, and even a deranged half faced lawyer and now he was witnessing a hooded figure going samurai on a bunch of goons wielding state of the art weapons, cutting them down left and right and even deflecting bullets.
"Gordon's right, I need a vacation." He mumbled as he watched Fox cut one guy in half down the middle, letting the two pieces fall to the floor. "Or a psychiatrist."
Fox flicks the blood off his blade and turns his attention to the last goon who was shakily aiming his AK-47 at the blonde. He smiles and calmly walks over to the guy who freaks out and starts firing. Crimson blurs were deflecting the bullets faster than the naked eye could see and the shocking part was that Fox wasn't even moving his weapon. His weapon clicked meaning he was out of ammo so he looked up to see Fox's hooded face looking at him impassively so he dropped the automatic and turned around to run… into the wall.
Fox chuckles as the unconscious man slid down the wall and shrugs before heading back to the trembling midget twirling his blade in a non-chalant fashion. The bird themed villain was slowly reaching for his customized umbrella that was under his desk, only to freeze when the tip of Kushinada was aimed a few inches near his throat.
"You don't want to do that." Fox advised sporting his feral grin "Now would you be so kind as to hand over the jewel or do I need to cut you down to size?"
Cobblepot gulped and relented, turning his seat to his vault and opens it, pulling a nice sized glowing diamond and turning around. "Here, take it." He placed it on the desk while Fox picks it up to examine it before pocketing it.
"A pleasure doing business with you though I'd recommend improving your security. You can only teach street thugs so much since their IQ is on par with that of a third grader." He advised before heading to the exit where a stunned Bullock watched him leave but not before he gave the detective a grin and tossed him a pair of cuffs.
"Later and try to lay off the doughnuts."
After leaving the Ice Berg Lounge, Naruto stood on top of a building inspecting the gem so more with his hood down. "Eh, I wonder why those chuckle heads want this rock so bad? Doesn't look so special to me." He pondered until he heard a scream. He glances at a closed supermarket to see a store owner run out yelling about a monster cat that from the looks of his torn clothing and cuts, was attacked.
Naruto rubbed his chin in thought, thinking about if he should check it out and shrugs. "Might as well, the bosses didn't exactly give me a deadline when to bring them the gem." With that, he hopped off the edge and descended downwards, landing in a crouch and heading towards the broken in market.
He trekked through the broken glass as he entered the barley lit store, looking for the one who broke in, noticing that the registers were intact. "So the assailant isn't interested in the money then? That's a first." He then hears something crash. He sticks to the shadows and makes his way to the shifting noise until he comes across the dairy isle where a shadowed figure was pulling out a fresh gallon of milk. The light from inside the slide door revealed what appeared to be a she cat. Judging from her height she was 5-7 with a lean-build and curve figure. Her waist length hair was a desert blonde color with spots. The front shorter section of hair has been brought forward, creating a bangs effect around her somewhat long face.
She had dark amber eyes with a cat like slit in them and around her eyes were reddish brown pigments that were lined perfectly with her vanilla colored face along with a pair of cat like ears, behind her bangs. Her outfit consisted of a dark brown two piece consisting of a tank top that showed off her flat, toned stomach and curves as well as a nice view of her ample d-cupped breasts that showed some cleavage while her dark brown shorts stopped above her knees, showing her nicely toned legs and rear but wore no form of foot wear. Sprouting behind her was a cheetah like tail that waged back and forth.
(So that you all know I based Cheetah's appearance off of Cheetara's form from the 2011 Thundercats series)
She tossed away the empty carton and grabs another out, ripping the cap off and proceeding to drink the contents. "Ahem!" The she-cat paused as she heard the cough and turns her head to see Naruto sporting an amused expression while dangling the empty carton from his index finger.
"A little late for a midnight snack don't you think Neko?" The blonde questioned only to tilt his head as the other carton came flying at his head. The she-cat snarls and leaps at him, unsheathing her claws in order to cut him up like she did the owner but Naruto simply ducks as she bypassed him and landed on all fours. She spun around, hissing at him and revealing a pair canines.
This action only made Naruto raise a brow and chuckle at her. "Well don't you look adorable like that?" She was about to attack him once again only to hear sirens so she glares at Naruto, picks up her bag of food, and runs away to the entrance.
Naruto chuckles once again and heads out of the building and leaps upwards on the roof right when the police cars stop in front of the store.
The female hybrid manage to scale the roof of an abandoned complex and placed her bag of food down, letting out a sigh of relief. She shuffles through the bag and pulls out a raw T-Bone steak, licking her lips and proceeds to feast on the slab of meat. "You know eating raw meat is bad for you."
Her eyes widened as she heard the same voice from the store and sets her gaze onto Naruto who stood before her with his arms in his pockets, sporting an amused expression as the t-bone remained in her mouth. "You again?" She hissed and stood up, dropping the steak with her claws ready and becoming more feral.
Naruto however just stood there with his head tilted. "Why so hostile Neko-chan? I'm not here to fight, I just want to talk." He assured the hybrid.
"And why should believe you? For all I know you were probably hired to hunt me down like those other mercenaries!" She snarled.
"If I was here to kill you I would've done so at the super market" Naruto stated with a serious expression before his gaze softens. "And why would I kill someone as adorable as you?" That right there put her off for a moment but she still didn't look convinced. "Still don't trust me? Very well." He open his jacket, revealing Kushinada and making her tense until he unclips it, sets it down, and lightly kicks it away, muttering a 'sorry hime' before tossing his coat aside as well.
"What are you doing?" She questioned.
"Proving my honesty." Naruto answered with his arms out. "As you can see I have no other weapons on me aside from my sword." She still looked skeptical about him but glances at him and his weapon before settling her stance but keeps her eyes on him when he sits down on the floor cross legged. She stares at him for a while before taking a step towards him but in a slow and cautious manner.
Once she was a few feet away from him, she slowly sat down with her gaze focused on him, much to the amusement of Naruto. "There, that wasn't so hard now was it?"
"Shut up." She growled only for him to chuckle at her response. "So aren't you gonna say anything about my appearance?"
"What about it? I did mention that you looked adorable Cat-girl." Naruto replied back. Her brow twitched at the nickname and huffed folding her arms under her chest.
"That's not my name, it's Barbara Minerva or my Alias Cheetah." She answered.
"Naruto Uzumaki." The blonde ninja said "So did you always look like a she cat?"
"No, I was once a normal person just like any other until I was backstabbed and turned into this monster by Cadmus." She looked at her clawed hands with a scowl marred on her face. Naruto however raised a brow at this.
"Cadmus huh? Did you happen to know a guy by the name of Desmond?" His answer was her growling in an animalistic manner and clench her fists.
"He's the one responsible for my change! If I ever see that bastard again I'll rip his head off!" She swore.
"Uh, hate to break it to ya Neko-chan but Desmond's dead." Her eyes widened in disbelief and looked back at him.
"What? When?"
"A few months back I was a 'temporary' keeper of security but during my stay there, Desmond annoyed the hell out me with his high and mighty attitude so I took my sword out and gutted him like a fish." Naruto answered, shocking the hybrid.
"So you killed him?" Naruto nodded and she chuckled darkly. "Death's too good for him but hey, the world will be a better place without him. I just wish I was there to see the life leave his eyes when you gutted him." She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking up. "So my form doesn't freak you out?"
Once again Naruto raised a brow as he gets a good look at her form and shrugs. "Nah, not really, so you're a crossbreed between a cheetah and a human? Honestly I think your form looks cute." A hint of pink appeared on her face. "Most of my body has been replaced by cybernetic parts by a man who saved my life whose helping me get my original body back, maybe he could help you as well."
"Do you think he can help me?" She wondered with hope in her eyes from the prospects of being human again.
"I don't think, I know." Cheetah pondered on the offer. She was tired of having to creep through alley ways and having to break into supermarkets to get food or sleeping in outdated apartments or abandoned subways. "I'll take this offer but if this is a trick" She let the threat hang as she turned feral for a bit and her claws lengthened.
"I give you my word, we will find a way to get you back to normal Barbara-san." He assured her before getting up and offering her his hand. She took it and he pulled her on her feet, and goes to retrieve his coat and sword while cheetah grabs a brown overcoat and places it over her form and they leave out of the old complex.
Meanwhile
The red- helmeted vigilante groaned as he regained his vision and found himself in a large warehouse that seemed to have seen better days. He tries to get up but finds himself being bound tightly in rope and sees his gear laid against the opposite side of the wall. "Where the hell am I?" He wondered before he heard footsteps and turned his head to see a masked raven haired kunoichi approach him.
"Uh… hi?" Was all he said while a smile crept up on her face but is wasn't a happy smile, it's a 'you're screwed unless you listen to me' smile and she crouched down.
"Hello." Satsuki said back before forming into her sharingan "Let's talk."
And Cut! Here's the next chapter and sorry for the hiatus, life's a pain in the butt but I'm getting back on track but in a slow and steady fashion. Oh and surprise, I added Cheetah in as well but with a twist. I based her appearance off of Cheetara from the 2011 Thunder Cats series and I've introduced Jason Todd in who was based off the Under the Red Hood version.
I'd like to give a shout out do Swordslinger because he gave me the idea in one of our discussions. I also plan to have Naruto interact with the female version of Superboy since she'll be a full kryptonian in this story instead of half like Conner was. Until then peace out and have a happy summer^^.
