Davina watched as JJ stood there, trying to decide what to do. She wasn't sure how he would react to her, but at the moment, she didn't particularly care either. She watched as he grabbed an arrow from his quiver and shot it. She raised an eyebrow as she saw it enter the man's skull. His screams were heard from probably everywhere and the woman, being stupid to be here in the first place, just stood there. It wasn't a second later that JJ shot an arrow towards her feet. She looked up at them, grabbed her purse, and ran off. Finally...idiot, she thought to herself before hearing JJ speak to her. She looked at him and nodded before he jumped off. It wasn't long before she jumped as well, landing behind the Avenger team leader as he ran off. She quickly darted after him, not using her full speed to her advantage as of yet.
Then JJ suddenly stopped as a scream ripped through the air. It took two seconds for Davina to slide to a stop and looked around. She looked down as well and saw the action below. Her eyes darkened inside of her mask and JJ quietly told her that it was her turn. She nodded and ran down the wall of the alley like it was nothing, because it was. This was Davina simply acting as if she was a bit of a wind. She stood behind the men for a moment in the shadows, making sure nothing glinted off of her suit before she sped in to action. All the men and then women saw was the flash of her blade from the dim lights as she sliced open skin. Within seconds the men were on the floor, bleeding from the wounds that she had inflicted on them. Davina was back in the shadows and the woman remained unharmed. She fled and Davina ran back up the wall, stopping beside JJ. She didn't bother finishing the men off. She gazed down at them, watching them with interest as they bled to death. |

Leaving the wounded man's faint screams behind and pushing them out of his mind JJ watched what was going on down below and waited for Davina. So far she was responding the same way he would've, if he wanted to fight up close. And every now and then he did, whether it was easier or he just wanted the challenge varied. But now, he would've gone down and fought them hand to hand, or something like that. Underneath his helmet he smirked lightly as he saw the glint off Davina's lightning fast blades. After she rejoined him he noticed she kept staring down at the bleeding men. He grabbed her and spun her around to look away from them.
"You want to control your bloodlust? Then stop focusing on it."
He said nodding his head before making the jump to the next building. But this time he actually stopped to make sure she was following him. He knew all to well what she was going through. Although he also knew ways to control it.

Davina just stood there and watched the mess of flesh, blood, and some bone as the men laid there waiting to die, not being able to help herself. Of course, until JJ grabbed her and spun her around. She looked at him and nodded, feeling somewhat ashamed, but she couldn't help herself. The mere sight of it, the cries of anguish, she wondered if this was exactly what JJ went through, or if this was something she inherited from her mother and grandfather. The serum her grandfather used on her mother could still possibly be pumping through her veins, having been absorbed by a few of her mother's cells and in a way, fused in to hers. She could only hope that this was simply a phase in her life that she could control and nothing more. She wasn't sure how well she'd be able to handle it if it wasn't.
A distant flash of a nightmare caught her attention before she looked up and saw that JJ had jumped to the next building. She found it sort of shocking and odd that he was waiting for her, but pushed it away. He's being a caring leader, she thought to herself. It wasn't long before Davina was by his side, her face apologetic, not that he could see. "Sorry," she apologized before she could stop herself. She wondered how long it would be before JJ had to get rid of her. She only hoped that it would never come to that, but if it ever did, she would want him to get rid of her if this job was too much. She couldn't jeopardize the lives of innocent people because of her love for blood and she knew that JJ would never let that happen. |

He heard her apologize and shook his head. He personally didn't see a reason to apologize, but if she wanted to he figured he shouldn't stop her. Especially if it made her feel better.
"You don't have to apologize. Genetics are a bitch, trust me."
He actually preferred having someone else on the team with blood lust issues and sometimes questionable insanity. It meant he wasn't alone and he had someone else he could confide in when he had one of his episodes. Plus she had someone to confide in, if she wanted to.
"Besides, my mother always told me a beautiful woman should never have to apologize. She may have been mentally unstable, but she was smart."
He said with a smirk that was practically audible, well audible to anyone who knew him. He patted her on the shoulder and then began moving again. They were still heading towards the center where the mobs ruled. The mobs were some of the top wanted people but the cops were smart enough to not go into Suicide Slum. Which sucked for them because it meant bringing them out. And that was far easier said than done. As they walked they could begin to hear a lot of commotion. As they got to the edge of the building they found a vacant lot with two groups about to fight.
"Mob war, fun. But let's try and keep some alive."
He said before his bow compacted and he placed it back on his hip.

Davina looked at JJ when he said that she didn't have to apologize. She raised an eyebrow, not that he could tell since she had her mask on. She smiled a little when he said that genetics were a bitch. She nodded in agreement. They were and so was having the codename of your evil, somewhat psychotic grandfather, but Davina accepted it and is still obviously an Avenger. She knew that her leader would always be there for her if she ever had a problem mentally or emotionally seeing as he had generally been through the same thing. When she heard JJ's words about what his mother had said, Davina cracked a small smile and blushed. She punched him on the shoulder after he patted her shoulder, hearing his smirk. "Stop flattering me and let's get to work," she said before quickly following after him.
As they got closer and closer to the center of Suicide Slum, Davina realized that this was the place where the mobs held all the control. She looked around at every angle before seeing JJ stop. She stopped behind him, silent as death itself. She looked down and saw that there were two groups, more than likely mobs, about to start a brawl with one another. Davina shook her head before hearing JJ's words. She nodded and kept her words inside their sheaths, knowing that she would be in for it if she didn't listen to him. "I'll see what I can do, but I make no promises, Nightwing...you know that," she said. Davina chose her name Deathstroke mostly because she was very much like her grandfather in the way her mind worked. Sure, it was psychotic and maybe a little extreme, but as long as someone was there watching her, she would be kept in line. |

"I want them arrested, to send a message, even if they won't be in for very long. So we need most kept alive and not too badly hurt. I know it won't be easy but we have to do it. I'll take the group on the left, you get the other."
And without another order, because in his mind no more was needed, he slowly and quietly made his way down to the ground. There were only the lights from cars making for a lot of shadows so Nightwing could easily move from shadow to shadow without being seen. Sure from the roof he could've taken out most of them but he was trying, as hard as it might be, to not kill that many people. Although it was really hard, especially when he stopped the more violent crimes and criminals. He cracked his knuckles before stepping out behind the group he'd designated as his. He spun the guy in the back around and after a couple quick punches to the stomach and a judo throw the man was down.
"Who's next?"
He asked with a smirk before delivering a spin kick to the jaw of another man.

Davina nodded in response to her leader's command, not that he saw it seeing as he darted off after his little speech. Davina surveyed her group a moment, pondering what to do. She counted them first and then thought about how to take them all down. Did she want to use her speed and then help Nightwing? Or did she want to relish in the thought of a fight? Either way it sounded good to her, but she didn't think JJ would need any help...nor would he want it, unless of course more people popped out of the woodwork and began to attack him. Then he might need help, despite how his pride might sometimes get in the way of him asking for it. Davina would just be a good teammate and help him anyway. He could thank her later.
After finally deciding on what to do, Davina sped down the wall and behind a garbage can, keeping her speed fast enough to the point of moving without anyone noticing. She looked at her group and smirked when she saw what JJ was doing. She shook her head and watched as the other group looked on in mock horror. Davina stepped out. "Excuse me, boys, but I think you've got a bigger problem then they do," she teased, making them turn around. One of them laughed and advanced on her. Selena roundhouse kicked him in the face, knocking him to the floor. She waited for the others to strike, or try to. It wouldn't be difficult at all for her to take down this group. |

Nightwing glanced over at Davina and saw her going to work. But Nightwing also knew she'd have no problem with them. She was one of the few who could possibly, POSSIBLY take him in a fight. Of course he knew if they fought they'd probably end up killing each other. And that was one thing he knew would happen, especially with their insanity and blood lust.
"Two versus 20, seems kind of unfair for you guys doesn't it?"
He smirked under his helmet and then went to work dispatching the other 8 guys. One man jumped on his back and tried to hold Nightwing down. Another man went to swing a bat at him. He spun around and caused the man with the bat to hit his friend who was clinging to Nightwing. Now free Nightwing swept the bat man's feet before rolling and driving his heel into the man's feet. He did a kip up and saw the man who had been clinging on him was up on his knees. Nightwing grabbed him by the head and drove his knee into the man's face breaking his nose.

Davina heard JJ's words and laughed, shaking her head somewhat. She looked at the men around her and smiled. They had circled around her, trying to cut her off from her partner in...heroism. She sighed almost boredly and looked around. She wasn't going to attack first. "Well, who's next?" She asked, grinning as they looked around at each other. Finally, one of them launched an attack on her. He dove for her and instead of moving out of the way with her inhuman speed, she merely side-stepped, grinning as the man fell to the floor at his friend's feet. It wasn't long after that that the group decided on the "mob" attack strategy. This included rushing their victim and attacking all at once. It was deadly indeed, but Davina didn't mind though, more fun for her.
They all rushed at her and Davina's eyes darted around, looking for the one who would reach her first. When she spotted him, she turned quickly and let one hand touch the floor as she kicked him in the face. The next man was smart enough to duck. He kicked her leg that she was standing on out from under her and she fell on the floor in a split. She grinned and blocked a few kicks and hits, but not before one landed to the back of her head. Her eyes flashed a moment, but she remained cool as she used her speed to get out of the middle of the mob. "Don't you know it's not nice to hit a woman?" She asked. It was then with her speed that she began to pick them off one by one. At one instance she looked at Nightwing to see how he was doing before she went back to kicking ass. |

Nightwing stood in his fighting stance as the last 6 began to circle around him. Some wielding knives others with brass knuckles and a couple with chains. He couldn't help but laugh slightly.
"Knives, brass knuckles and chains? You guys fight old school."
Two with chains ran at him and swung. Each one wrapped a chain around Nightwing's wrists and puled leaving him standing wide open as the two with the brass knuckles moved in and began to punch in the front and back. But through out the beating Nightwing made no noise. The man in the front grabbed him by the head and pulled his other fist back. Nightwing shrugged the man's hand off, delivered a kick to the crotch and a head butt. The man fell clutching his crotch and a bleeding nose. He turned and left his arms crossed in front of him. He delivered kicks to the man's thighs and then ribs, breaking them as he did. The man staggered back and received a front kick to his face.
"Ok, you guys are really going to have to let me go, it's annoying."
He pulled them closer and jumped doing the splits, kicking them each in the face as he did so. The two fell and he shrugged the chains off. He spun to the side and delivered a kick to one man's stomach. He did a front hand spring and drove both feet into the man's chest.
"Only two to go."

Davina heard JJ's statement and laughed aloud, unable to help herself. She turned just in time to avoid a punch to the face. She grabbed the man's wrist and glared before she pulled him over her shoulder. His back slammed against the pavement and she brought her fist down to his chest and dropped to one knee. She forced more air out of his lungs than necessary, but she didn't care. She stood up and yelped someone as a man tackled her from behind. She fell forward on the pavement, scratching a hole in her mask, showing her lips and chin which were now scraped open. She rolled over and spit her blood in the man's face. He cried out and closed his eyes and began to lash out at her. She was able to move out of the way of his punches using her super speed. She brought her fist up and hit him in the head. He grabbed his head and cried out in pain. Davina pushed him off and then got out from under him.
The female Avenger dusted herself off and glared down at the man before kicking him in the face. He fell to the ground unconscious. Davina looked around and saw that all of the mob men that were attacking her were on the ground unconscious. She made sure to go around and double check. She sighed and sat down on one's back. She brought her hand to her lips and saw the blood. She growled and picked up a rock. She threw it into the alley, furious that she had been foolish enough to let one of them get the upper hand on her more than once. She looked over at JJ to see how he was doing seeing as she was done with her mob men. If he needed assistance, she would provide it. Out of the corner of her eye, Davina saw movement and pulled out her sword. She threw it and it nailed the man in the sleeve, much to his luck, and he was pinned to the brick wall. Davina shook her head. "Pathetic." |

"C'mon boys..."
He said to the two with knives. There was only two left and he noticed Davina was done. Pretty embarrassing as he was the leader. But he had to be a show off and have his own style. If he'd just went like his grandfather he'd be long done now. The two quickly rushed him. One struck out and he caught the man's arm. He twisted it, chopped the forearm and broke it and then flipped the man over his shoulder. He then delivered a hard punt to the man's head knocking him unconscious. But as he was turned around the other man drove his knife into JJ's shoulder. Now he was really pissed. He simply turned around to face him, the knife still in his shoulder.
"You stupid son of a bitch."
He said with a sneer. The man began to back away before turning to run. It was too late. JJ used his adrenaline rush and rushed forward. The man would barely be able to see the man but he knew Davina would be able to watch him perfectly. JJ swung over and over again, feeling bones break under his fists. He then ended with a round house kick causing the man to actually flip through the air and land flat on his back. JJ pulled the dagger out, wiped the blood off and threw it at the man. It hit dead in his shoulder, exactly where Nightwing had been stabbed. As his rush passed he looked over at Davina and nodded his head.

Davina watched as JJ fought, unable to help but be entertained. She grinned at him a little as he fought, not that he could see since she was wearing her mask. She tilted her head to the side and her eyebrows rose together when the man threw the knife at JJ. She heard the 'sunk' noise as it dug in to his shoulder. Davina heard JJ's words and shook her head. This guy had no idea what was coming and man was he in for it now. She watched happily as JJ used his adrenaline rush. She watched him easily, seeing as she was the Fastest Woman Alive. She saw the blood and heard the bone crack under JJ's fists as he beat the man. She couldn't help but be...somewhat...turned on? It had to be her bloodlust, seeing as there was really no other way to describe it. She watched, eyes lit up as JJ fought the man like he was nothing. It was almost...breathtaking.
When JJ was finally done, Davina couldn't help but grin when he threw the dagger into the man's shoulder. She nodded to him when he nodded to her and stood up, getting off of the mobsters back and looking down at him. She nudged him and heard a cough. She nodded to herself. She hadn't killed him by crushing him with her giant hips. She looked over at Nightwing. "Nice job, though I thought a little like over kill, but nice job," she teased playfully, nudging him with her elbow. She sighed and looked around. "Now what?" She asked, having almost called him by his first name, but she stopped herself. She hoped that she had never done that again. |

"Well he pissed me off."
He said with a shrug, not seeming to favor his shoulder at all. Although he still had adrenaline coursing through him so there was that. He knew he'd be sore later on but had to focus on something else for the time being.
"Now we continue on our way. The police will be here shortly, I pressed my silent tracker during the fight."
He said with a hidden smirk before re setting his bow, making sure it was still held in place before heading towards a building. He quickly began climbing the fire escape, knowing she'd just run up the side of the buildings like she usually did. But he was still human so he didn't have a choice. Once on the roof he looked around.
"Odds are there's more mobsters running around here somewhere. I find it hard to believe there was 20 and that's it. No doubt both sides had reenforcements."

Davina couldn't help but giggle when JJ's response was a nonchalant "he pissed me off." Those always seemed to put a smile on Davina's face. She noticed that he shrugged and hadn't even flinched at the dagger wound in his shoulder. She couldn't help but worry about him, but she knew that he'd be fine of course. JJ was a good leader like that. He never showed pain, much like miss Davina and her scraped up chin and lip which had now dried up somewhat, the blood just crusting on her face. She'd deal with it later when she had time, for now, she had to listen and follow JJ. Whatever he said, went, and she knew better than to fall behind. The young female listened to his words and nodded before she rushed up the side of the building like usual. She stood at the top, waiting for him.
As Davina waited, though not that long, she looked around. It was so strange how this place seemed somewhat peaceful, but she knew it was a lie. Nothing about this place was peaceful. Davina turned as she heard Nightwing pop up onto the roof of the building and turned to him. She nodded in response to his statement. "No doubt at all. So...do we have more fun or go back?" She asked, not sure what her leader wanted to do. Of course, it was then that Davina realized that Nightwing could probably see most of her facial expressions thanks to her mask being open. She was just glad that he couldn't see her eyes. That would have been really weird, especially during that last fight of his. |
