AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hi guys! This is like the newest story I have made, and there aren't a lot of views and no comments at the time being... I guess I'm not going to be picky because I don't really have high expectations.

But I was really surprised when I wrote 'My Sun And Stars' because that story really took off with reviews, followers, favorites, and reads!

I find that I'm really into this particular story I'm writing because its different. My BMWW story isn't anywhere near the end, its just that I've been caught up with a lot of other things at the moment...
So any ways... here's the second chapter to 'The First Female Scarlet Runner'!

Setting her backpack on the lab table closest to the back of the room, she takes the cooler and lifts the lid carefully pulling out the test tube in the sealed container.

Setting up her equipment, she pulls out three notebooks where all her research and data for the past two years are documented.

She opens to the last page of her third notebook and takes a pencil.

Taking a small needle, she punctures it into her forearm. She grimaces, and draws blood.

She pulls the needle out of her skin and in a small sanitized flat tray, places a few drops of blood into it.

Putting down the needle, she takes a sample of the duplicated AP and places a single drop into the clear tray with her own blood.

At first, nothing happens. The AP 'hovers' above her blood for 30 seconds, as predicted, this stage of the transformation would be painful.

While carefully observing the AP, it slowly forms itself with the blood, making itself turn into exact shape of the red fluid.

Katherine watches it impatiently for the next five minutes staring at it to see if there is any change in the blood mixed fluid whatsoever.

She concludes that the merging stage is done and it was 100% successful.

She gives out a yelp of joy while covering her mouth in embarrassment and looking around the room to see if anyone saw her. But she forgot that she was the only one in the lab.

Impatient, she quickly jots down everything she has done in her notebook. Over excitedly, she pushes everything down the table to clear her work area. Taking a sterile needle from the cabinets, she walks back to her lab station and takes 50 units of the cloned AP.

She takes the needle and flicks it a few times. She was just about to inject herself with it but the moment her excitement and enthusiasm settles, she realizes that this might not actually work. Maybe her calculations were incorrect?

She damned herself for hesitating, since she has worked two long and hard years of her precious life to successfully clone this miracle that was unstable.

She thinks about Eric and how good of a friend he is to her and hopes that it doesn't change if something happens to her.

Her parents, they could go die in a hole and she wouldn't give a rat's ass. They never cared for her anyways.

Before she could change her mind, she stabs herself with the large needle and soon starts to feel slightly lightheaded.

All she remembers is dropping the needle, falling off her stool and pressing her face against the cold, hard cement before everything went dark.

Everything flashed before her eyes. Her work, her parents, Eric, countless amount of hours spent in a lab, research, blood. Lots of blood.

That, she assumed, was her life flashing before her eyes.

She could admit it, her life was for sore eyes.

The ground was wet, she could feel it seeping through her shirt. The smell of rotting trash stung her nose. Her eyelids were heavy, but she forced them to open.

The sight was enough to make her eyes fly open wide.

She was no longer in the lab at Avrill High, but in an ally with dumpsters that smell like they haven't been taken away by the garbage trucks in years.

Her body was stiff and hurt like hell, but she managed to stand up on her feet.

She noticed her backpack on the ground a few feet away from where she laid. Walking slowly and with a slight limp, favoring her right leg, she walked over to her backpack and slug it on her shoulder.

Managing to get the second strap on her other shoulder, she then made her way out of the ally to figure out where she was and how she got into this reeking ally.

After a few steps, her legs didn't really hurt and she felt better.

She stopped limping and made her way to the main street right off the ally she found herself in.

There didn't seem to be anyone on the road, nor cars.

She looked left and right to see the closest intersection. She was less than a block from a four way intersection.

Apartments lined the road, there were no lights on in any of them.
Where she was still remained a mystery.

She walked, though it was the middle of October and Avrill City should be cold, the wind blew fiercely, but she didn't even shiver. It actually felt good.

Slowly making her way to the intersection, she looks above the stop sign reading the name of the road.

'Sonny Blvd'

She knew without delay that there was no road in Avrill City with the name of 'Sonny Blvd'.
It was the middle of night and only the streetlights were lit, some were flickering and some weren't even working.

She continued to walk down 'Sonny Blvd.' not knowing where she was heading.
Further down the street, there seemed to me more civilization. She picked up her pace and started to make her way.

Ever side street she passed, she looked at the name. None of these names were streets in Avrill City. Some were the same, but they were either a loop, dead end, or a no outlet. Those streets didn't belong to Avrill.

Katherine didn't know where she was, but maybe finding a person to tell her where she was would clear her confusion.

Finding a newspaper booth that seemed not to be busy, she walked up to talk to the man behind the counter.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am…?"

The man sitting in the chair was facing his back to her, he turned around and he was middle aged, "Oh, hello there young lady…"

The man sounded drunk, he also reeked of pot.

'How can a man own a newspaper stand and be drunk like hell?' Katherine though while trying to compose herself.

"I mean… can I buy a newspaper please?" She picked up a paper and brought her backpack around her to grab money.

"Young lady! That would cost you one time in bed…!"

Katherine was taken back by his comment.

"Ok, dude, its time for you to go to sleep," with that, she placed down the newspaper she had in her hand and leaned over the counter to grab a handful of the medium sized man's hair and pulled him closer.

He thought she was trying to kiss him so the man leaned it, not knowing that she had pushed a nerve in his neck and he collapsed over the messy display of newspapers and magazines.

Katherine pushed the man off the counter and heard him fall with a thud. She picked up the newspaper she was going to buy and she read the name of the newspaper press, 'Gotham Gazette'.

Her jaw hit the ground and she had to read the name four times before the information sunk into her brain.

She moved her eyes onto the 'breaking news' on the front page of the newspaper, 'JUSTICE LEAGUE SAVES WORLD FROM THANAGARIAN INVASION'.

She knew that her eyes popped from its sockets. 'There was no way this can be happening…' she thought to herself.

She analyzed the situation, she's in THE Gotham City and there is a Justice League and their Watch Tower is hovering above her head at this very moment…

Katherine was extremely excited to be in a entirely different universe, an unknown universe where the Justice League is a reality and dangers to the public is common routine.

She knew the only people, well, some of them aren't people, who would understand her situation was the members of the Justice League. Her top priority at the moment was to get to the Batcave or Wayne Manor only because it was the closest hideout that she could remember from all the DC Comics.

There was only one problem… She didn't have a car to drive…
