Chapter 2: Red and black

(A few hours before the

events of "Blue and Pink"...)

"NO, PLEASE! NO-" BANG!

The body of the pleading gang member fell on the ground, a bullet hole in his head. Besides him were two other gang members, all dead. Above the bodies stood the figure of a vigilante with two smoking guns in his hands.

This was the Red hood (A.K.A Jason Todd). The anti-hero took his red helmet down, revealing the face of a young man with black hair (a patch of white hair in the middle), a few notable scars on his face and black mask that was covering his eyes. Jason took a deep breath and walked away from the gruesome scene. He had been following those gang members from Gotham, all the way to Jump city. They were involved in all sorts of crimes: drugs, weapons, blackmail and wurst of all- human trafficking, of children in particular. It sickened Jason.

He walked to one of the doors in the warehouse (which was the criminals' hideout) and kicked it open. Inside were five children. All girls not older than twelve. They were crying and hugging each other.

"NO, SIR, PLEASE!" one of the girls yelled in pure horror.

"Hey ,hey, It's okay! It's okey!" Jason said calmly, his hands in front of him "I am a good guy. The bad men won't hurt you anymore!"

The girl sniffed "They...won't?" she asked quietly.

"No they won't!" the anti-hero replied as he helped the girl stand on he feet "Now come on, let's get out of here!"

Jason quickly led the girls out of the building (doing his best to not let them see the dead people). A few minutes later the police came. Some of the policemen were from Jump city but there were some from Gotham. Among them was Jim Gordon. He had been following those gang members for months and knew that they were in Jump city. He also knew that the Red hood was after the criminals too. Jim hoped that he would get them before the anti-hero, but apparently he wasn't fast enough. Red hood was ,of course, nowhere to be seen.

After taking the kids to the ambulance, Gordon and some of the other police officers entered into the warehouse and found the dead bodies of the criminals. The police started investigating the scene while Gordon went outside to light a cigarette. He was doing that only because he knew Red hood was somewhere out there.

"Not ashamed to kill in front of the kids, huh?" Jim asked sarcastically.

"They saw nothing!" the voice of the former Robin answered from somewhere.

The police commissioner blew out some smoke and then said "Gonna be honest, as much as I don't like your ways, I am not sad that you killed them. Those basterds deserved it!"

"Try to explain this to Batman..." Red hood said with a little anger in his voice.

"He won't change his mind." Gordon responded "I can't give you a free pass though! You still killed three people. I will give you twenty-four hours and then I will go after you!"

"Don't worry!" Red hood's voice said as it started to get further and further away "I will be long gone by then..."

And with that the anti-hero disappeared into the night, leaving Gordon alone with his cigarette.

Using the shadows Jason made his way to the end of the industrial zone he was at. His motorcycle was parked there. However, coming from around the corner of the last warehouse, Jason could hear a man's voice. The man was apparently begging.

The anti-hero looked up and saw a young woman with long black hair floating in the air, while holding a man by his throat.

"ple...as...e..." the man, who was apparently a drifter or something like that, could barely speak through the girls strong grasp.

"Next time you will think twice before trying to assault a woman!" the girl said with an evil smile "Oh wait, there won't be a next time..."

And with that the girl shoot purple lazers from her eyes. They quietly melted the man's head. Once done the girl dropped the lifeless body on the ground were there were other bodies.

Jason didn't know what was going on and honestly he didn't want to know. He tried to find his motorcycle but it wasn't where he had left it. There was only a smoking pit. Red hood quickly figured out what had happened. And he wasn't happy. Despite what he had just witnessed, Jason turned to the levitating girl.

"Hey, you!" he yelled "What did you do to my motorcycle?!"

The girl looked at him "Oh it was yours? I thought it was to one of those perverts."

"Well, now you will have to pay it!"

"Gladly, but I am out of money, handsome. See ya'!" and with that the young woman took off. All that she left behind was a phone number and a note saying: "Call me!

Blackfire XX"

Under the XX was kiss mark of black lipstick.

"Blackfire, huh..." Jason said to himself. He wasn't going to let her off the hook easily.

(later...)

Jason managed to track Blackfire down to one bar with a questionable reputation in the bad part of the city. He could hear laughter and booing from inside and as he entered he could see why. In the middle of the bar on the two opposite sides of one table stood two people: one was Blackfire and the other one was a muscler muscular rocker. They were having an arm wrestling contest. Everyone else in the bar had gathered around the table and were apparently drawing bets on who would win. And most of them were unhappy with the result so far.

Despite his muscles, the rocker was having a hard time against Blackfire. He was sweating bullets and she looked bored. With one move, the girl pinned the man's arm to the table, while also breaking it in the process. The rocker yelled in pain and crumbled to the ground.

"All right, guys! The money!" Blackfire said with a smile. The people were unhappy with the result, but eventually put the money they had bet against Blackfire on the table. That was enough for Jason.

"Hey, Blackfire, right?" he said with his arms crossed.

"Oh, it's you again. Almost didn't recognize you under that helmet." Blackfire responded as she was gathering her money "What's the matter, couldn't wait for a date 'till tomorrow?"

"It's not a date I want!" Red hood responded firmly "I want you to pay me my motorcycle!"

"I told you already- I am out of money!" the girl answered innocently.

"Obviously..." the anti-hero responded sarcastically, while looking at Blackfire's pile of money "How about this: arm wrestling. If I win- you will pay me, if you win- I will give you all my money!"

Blackfire busted out into laughter. Everyone else in the bar started laughing as well.

"You serious!" Blackfire said as she rubbed a tear off her right eye "Did you see what I happened with the last guy?"

"I did and I am sure I can beat you!" Jason said confidently.

"Oh you are a bold one, huh! Alright, big guy, sit down!"

Jason sat access Blackfire and stretched his right arm to her. She took it with her left one and the two locked eyes. The people gathered once again and one man placed his hands on the players'.

"Ready! GO!" he shouted and let go of their locked hands.

The duel began. Everybody expected it to be over in seconds, yet a minute passed and the man with the red helmet wasn't even showing signs of losing. Sure his arm was shaking, but so was Blackfire's. She was surprised by the strength her opponent possess.

Then with one swift move the Red hood pinned Blackfire's hand to the table. Everybody gasped. Blackfire had a look of disbelief on her face. "How..."

"An ancient tibetan technique that allows you to ignore pain. The other was just training." Jason said with a smirk (though nobody could see it)"Now... the money!"

Blackfire wasn't willing to give him the money so she looked at the rocker whose arm she had broken" Hey, you!" the man flinched in fear "Give me your bike!"

The man quickly took the keys with his good arm and handed them to Blackfire "It's the one left to the door!"

Blackfire smiled sweetly "Thank you." she then threw the keys to Red hood who caught them and without a word got up a left the bar. Blackfire however kept the smile on her face. She had just found her new entertainment...

(Shortly...)

Jason had just started his new motorcycle. It was good enough, though he would still have to do some work on it when he was back in Gotham. The Red hood was just about the start the vehicle when...

"Hey, Red bird!"

Jason turned to see Blackfire flying towards him.

"Where are you going?"

"That doesn't concern you!" he said firmly.

"Oh come on, you look like fun." the alien girl said "Breaking those idiots' arms is boring."

"It's not my job to entertain you, Blackfire!" the anti-hero responded and started his motorcycle "Goodbye!"

And with that he drove away from the alien. But he couldn't go far. After a few miles he was in front of S.T.A.R lab and this is where Blackfire caught up with him. She landed right in front of him. Jason almost crashed while avoiding hitting her. After he stopped the vehicle he left it on the ground and walked to the young woman, still shocked and very angry.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?!"

"I couldn't think of any other way to stop you. Actually I could but that was the funniest one!"

"What to you want?" Jason said, now a little bit calmer.

"To hang out!" Blackfire responded while looking at her nails.

"I told: I am not here to entertain you! Goodbye!" and with that the Red hood started walking back to the motorcycle.

"Every boy would die to spend some time with a hot, alien bitch like me!" Blackfire said as she took a sexy pose "Yet you refused, twice. Are you gay or somethin?"

Jason was not impressed by her taunting "I am just tired of spending a whole month chasing criminals down!"

"Criminals like this?" Blackfire said

That caught Jason's attention "What criminal?"

Blackfire pointed towards the front doors of S.T.A.R lab. Jason looked and saw a figure sneaking around. Jason quickly got close, Blackfire behind him. They hid behind one of the bushes in front of the building and looked at their target.

While the anti-hero and the villain couldn't see all the details they could efinitely see enough to know that the man wasn't a regular person. He was about 6.3 feet tall (roughly 190 cm) and was well-built. He wore a top hat and a mask of a plague doctor.

"I am an alien and even I know nobody wears hats like this anymore." Blackfire whispered to the Red hood.

Jason didn't respond. He was to busy watching the "criminal". The man got in front of the door and opened it.

"The doors are unlocked? " Jason thought to himself. Apparently the man was thinking the same thing because he also looked surprised.

But the man with the top hat didn't question it too long. He entered and went out of sight.

"I am going in!" Jason left his hideout and ran to the door.

"Wait for me!" Blackfire said as she took off after him.

Jason didn't have the time to deal with her right now. He drew his guns out and opened the doors with his foot... only to find out that the man was nowhere to be found. Blackfire and he checked the first floor and found nothing. The second floor was also empty. By the time the two got to the third floor Blackfire was bored.

"I thought you would be fun" the alien said loud "Yet, you are just as boring as Nightwing!"

"Keep it down!" Jason hissed, just as loud (unintentionally) "And don't compare me to Nightwing!"

"You are jealous because he is hotter than you, aren't you. His ass really pops out in those pants."

"I don't care whether Dick's ass is big or small! I am better than his anyway!"

"Sure, sure..." Blackfire said sarcastically and started looking around "Do you even know where are we going?"

"Of fucking course I don't! I have never been here before!"

Red hood and Blackfire them came to one of the turn of the hallway they were at.

"Then why are we wondering around liiii..." Blackfire started but then noticed the two figures.

"What, did you finally run out of insulllllll..." Jason then noticed them too.

The two figures were very familiar to the Red hood and Blackfire. They were Dick Grayson, the first Robin (now going as Nightwing) and Blackfire's goody two-shoes sister Starfire.

The dark hair sister smirked, thinking "And here I thought the night would be boring..."

"Jason!" Nightwing hissed through gathered teeth.

"Dick!" Jason also hissed through gathered teeth.

"Blackfire!" Starfire growled.

"What's up, sis?" Blackfire asked smugly.
