The message was written on the mirror in blood, the body it's self was in bathtub throat slit. Nobody cocked her eyebrow. Someone was stealing her kills and leaving her messages, because this was the third one. The first one was “You feel it, 
but never see it, and never will.” and the second one was. “three lives have I. Gentle enough to soothe the skin, Light enough to caress the sky, Hard enough to crack rocks.  “ She hated this, third kill and they were already dead. That would be 3 black marks on her record. Well fuck, she needed to see who was after her because clearly they were after her. She sighed deeply as she moved out of the building, this was just pissing her the fuck off.

She punched the wall as she moved to leave, there was nothing okay with this day. First she had burnt herself trying to pull a cake out of the oven, and ended up flinging the cake across the kitchen breaking the cabinet door with the pan and almost breaking herself trying to clean the hot stuff up. Now all three of her kills were stolen from her. It just wasn't a good night for Adi. The air hit against her face as she moved to take off her mask, no one was around, no one dared go out at night anyway, so she would be safe enough.

Should be safe enough, only wasn't because as she walked by a building she found herself being flung and a loud sound shattering the silence around her. Well fuck. She felt herself slide across pavement, thank god she had armor on, though it didn't help when it hurt her arms and legs as she tried to stop herself from going any further as the flames danced around her.

But soon she turned to look at the building that had just exploded, well what the fuck just happened? She felt that pain in her body, knowing she probably injured something. Well that was just perfect, she lay there for a few minutes, and slowly tried to get herself to push up so she could sit up. “FUCK THIS....DISHONOR ON YOU...AND YOU FAMILY AND YOUR COW....I QUIT LIFE.” She growled out loudly and wiggled a bit trying to reach the knife that had being thrown from her in the being launched thanks to the explosion. This just wasn't her day, like everything and it's mother had it out for her. She managed to get herself in a sitting position as she looked up at the burning building cocking an eyebrow, there had been other explosions but they sounded a bit farther off.

“Well...who would have done this....” She mused. “Is it piss on Adi day?” She pouted a bit and grabbed her knife, putting it back where it had gone. She slowly started to get up to look around the area. Her body hurt and she quite frankly just wanted to go home bathe and sleep, no wild night, just sleep.

"WHO'S FRUITY PEBBLES DID I FUCKING PISS IN? I HAVEN'T EVEN KILLED ANYONE TODAY...KHARMA STOP BEING A RAGEY WHORE AND BE NICE SLUT." She yelled a bit and pouted rubbing her back lightly.[/color]'[/ul][/ul][/ul][/ul][/size]

[Ra's Al Ghul]

So far, the plan had been executed perfectly, preliminary reports foretold that so far, all bridges leading into the city had been destroyed, along with all underground access tunnels except one.

Ra's had ordered that the old steam tunnel system that lead from Gotham waterworks to Arkham asylum be left untouched, considering that he had most of his forces centered around the waterworks, and it would make for a perfect defensible position.

furthermore, the courthouse, city hall, and even Gotham P.D. had been bombed by various strike teams, all reacting on his signal. after receiving positive reports on all accounts he stood from his original crouching position, and had to smile inwardly, looking down upon the mass chaos, of his own design. He marveled in the complexity of it all, and how each piece of discord fit perfectly, and each domino fell right on time.

Ra's himself, had taken a position at the top of One Gotham Center, with about 3 of his disciples. Watching from above, he crossed his arms, feeling the crisp with brush past him, and enjoying the slight scent of sulfur, with a hint of ash that hung in the air. Turning to face his escorts he spoke up, " Tell standby teams to go ahead and release the flock. I think this arena is ready for it's gladiators"

with a slight nod, two of his men pulled out switches, and thumbed them, signalling the others. After a few moments, two more explosions could be heard, along with the distant crackling of gunfire, "brilliant" he said, giving a quite insidious smile.

" it has finally begun..."

She froze, it wasn't out of fear, it was out of anger, she was going to punch this mother fucker in his crooked teeth, she turned to the man. “What are you wearing pretty? That doesn't look like normal clothing, oh is halloween?” Adi let this odd sort of smirk grace her lips.

“Oh haven't you heard...I'm a warrior of the apocalypse...but of course I don't expect you to believe me.” She grinned. “Oh by the way....'Pretty'...” she mocked the way he called her pretty. “You got a purdy mouth.” She moved wrapping around him suddenly both of her 11 inch blades found their way into the man's mouth stabbing into the back of his throat tearing through to the other side. She grinned and tore in a scissor motion, leaving the area above the jaw barely attached as she flipped off him and took off in a run, so she could try and find out what was going on, must have been a break out at Black Gate. She was now interested in seeing who just annihilated the city.

It amused her when she tried to sink her blade in to one of the guts of a Black Gate prison member and it stuck. “SHIT.” She growled and tried to pull it out but it wouldn't come out, she had to move quick so she undid the blade and took off flipping at the next on breaking his neck with her legs, and she was back off.

“BYE BLADE I LOVED YOU~” She yelled and found herself face to face with armor she didn't recognize “Oh....my....what are you?” She asked lightly looking at the few people with odd armor, and all had....swords? “You got to be fucking kidding me.” She breathed out looking at them. “One blade against.....how ever many....I got this...Come at me bro.” she said looking around trying to get in a stance where she could defend, but unfortunately, she didn't see victory in this one. Great.

Tonight she would die....only she really hoped she wouldn't.[/color]'[/ul][/ul][/ul][/ul][/size]

[Ra's Al Ghul]

The three initiates had been observing the Court house to ensure proper immolation. however upon seeing the female member of the brotherhood, the had decided to contact Ra's for further orders. if the Brotherhood were in the city, it could complicate Ra's's plan.

Knowing that failure would not be looked upon kindly, when they saw that the brotherhood member had started moving east, they decided to go ahead and directly confront her, so that they could ensure that she did not, in fact, get away.

The Three of them had moved in toward her as she was struggling to dislodge her blade from an inmates entrails, and had actually managed to get within striking range before being noticed. Upon seeing them, the Brotherhood member showed frustration, and then mouthed a common meme in their direction. but none of them smiled, the highest ranking of the three initiates speaking up, "I am not your 'bro' and I do not seek to assail you just yet. that is for the master to decide." at this, he motioned for the other two to get closer, weapons drawn, in a scissor formation, so that they could ensure she didn't just run or something.

Taking a two way radio from his belt, he activated it, first ensuring he was on the right channel "Master Ra's, we have a bit of a complication. One of the brotherhood is in the city. a female assassin by the looks of it. we allowed our presence to be known to ensure she did not escape, but I am uncertain how to proceed" as he let go of the switch, the familiar static crackled to life from the radio, drawing out the pause as they waited for his response.


Ra's was not pleased. the Brotherhood could very easily become a thorn in his backside, and unravel an entire portion of his plan. he looked out to where this particular team had been dispatched, nearby at the courthouse, as if to get a glimpse of them. of course, a few buildings lay in the way, so he could not, but the compulsion to do so was still there.

after a moments pause, he pulled up his radio again, and activated it " A female? from the Brotherhood you say? .... that does not particularly bode well with me. apprehend her, and bring her here. she is to be neither dead nor dying. and try to ensure that she's conscious, if possible." he needed to find out how many more of them were in the city, and whether or not they would be a threat. and so far as he could tell, speaking to her in person would accomplish that with alot less difficulty.


The initiate looked at her, right in the eye as he holstered his radio "Alive it is, he didn't say anything about battered, but in all honesty I'd rather do this with some form of civility. come with us willingly, and you'll be treated as a guest. resist, and you will be treated as a sack of potatoes, totally you're choice. though if I were you, I wouldn't trust the way I treat my potatoes." he grinned.

[/color]” She grinned trying to keep herself calm, this wasn't good. She remembered that name, Ra's. But hadn't he died? Yeah she remembered the whispers around the Brotherhood, but of course that is what they were, whispers. But she did remember her training and how worried the Brotherhood was about the League of Assassins. She remembered the Master teaching them strictly that if they ever ran into a League to not open their mouth about anything, that their own training because if the League got a hold of one of the Brotherhood and they talked it would be bad for the 'family.'

But she was sure with all her training, her El Juego del Garrote, Jeet Kune Do, Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary Systems, Jujutsu, Italian Martial Arts and her sharpshooting trick shots, wouldn't be able to get out of this situation. There was no way all the brotherhood training would be enough. She had heard all the horror stories about the League of Assassins, and honestly these were people that Adi didn't want to fuck with. Unfortunately for her her mind told her to continue to talk instead of nod and follow them. “Oh battered? You sure know how to treat a woman don'tcha Bro.” The bro was drawled out, she made it very clear in her voice she wasn't scared of them, she could at least mask her fear, after all these were just Assassin's from another family. She had had worst before, what's the worst that could happen? Death? Adi wasn't scared of death.

A look was all that resulted from the Brotherhood members comments, a look that did worse than an actual blow to the skull ever could. one of those contemptuous looks that caused even the most courageous soul cower behind a stack of teddy bears and security blankets.

once he was done piercing the very essence of her soul with his eyes alone, the initiate spoke up, sheathing his sword slowly, " were it not that you appeared to be quite so frail and delicate, I might chance discipline to the side of your skull, but I personally don't think you would be able to stand afterward" he turned briskly, motioning for the other two to fall in line behind her, weapons still drawn.

they started moving in the direction of the One Gotham Center building, as the forward initiate proceeded to execute any prisoner that confronted him, without the use of his blade, snapping necks, breaking bones, and just being all around brutal to any unfortunate soul to get in their way.

" besides, I'll leave that pleasure to the master himself"

The initiate could feel her watching him. he knew what she was thinking, and he knew what would happen if she tried. he made sure to keep himself just within arms reach of her as he went. often taking down inmates with a swift motion of his hand, breaking their neck, or perhaps collapsing their sternum.

Snapping one unfortunate criminals leg with the heel of his boot, the initiate gave a smile in Adi's direction. dropping the screaming man with a twist of his wrist, still looking towards her, the snap of his neck could clearly be heard, "enjoying the view?" he was clearly taunting her, but more so in response to her stare, and less because he actually expected a response.

he gestured behind him to a large building, smiling, not really waiting for a response "well, you'd best drink it in now, cause we're here" behind him stood the One Gotham Center, silent and stoic, there weren't any particular clues or hints that the mastermind behind the current state of affairs resided at the top, and yet, somehow you could feel him there.

Turning, the initiate swiftly grabbed an assaulting inmate by the lower jaw, and snapped it, almost completely off of his skull with a sickening snap and some gargled screams from the poor bastard it belonged to.

"these guys just never learn..."

[/color]” She paused as if to think for a while. “But to answer your question, why yes I am enjoying the view…however, darling, that armor does nothing for the imagination.” She smirked. “You have ‘Dat ass.’…” she nodded. Well if she was going to die at least she would go out with a bang. “But no…the city is nice…all chaotic….and the carnage adds an interesting slosh of red against our cities black and grey.” She said calmly. Yep she was going to die. ‘smooth Adi, yes flirt with death.’ She mentally reamed herself out. “So how many of you are there…a small army…a circus clown car full..” she inspected the man.

She couldn’t say that she didn’t expect this, she knew the air had gotten heavier in the past few days. There was nothing she could do about this either, she was caught, and while she could take on a few of them she knew she couldn’t take on the initiate, he would be faster than her if she went to attack the others. So it would be best to just accept fate? Maybe? She was going to die and the Brotherhood was going to fall. But that was life, she couldn’t say she actually liked the brotherhood too much, but it paid nice and gave nice benefits, the training was hard as fuck, but it was worth it in the end.
