I strode into the museum, Eagle and simba, simba wa kike beside me. I cracked my knuckles as we entered the Mineral exhibit.
“Simple grab-and-go girls. Pick want wewe want, leave what wewe don’t, and kill anyone who gets in your way” The Shadow’s had ordered. I found a dazzling mkufu made purely from dhahabu and rubies. I saw Eagle grab a large sky blue opal and simba, simba wa kike pick a topaz that matched her mane like hair. We waltzed out. Suddenly, a red and yellow blur ran by. I looked at my hands and realized the mkufu was gone. simba, simba wa kike growled and slipped the topaz into her mouth, careful not to kumeza it. She pulled out her whip. Eagle took to the sky with her opal. I heard the cry of an eagle and knew she had gone undercover. I pulled a small pellet full of glue out and threw it at the ground. The blur ran right through it, his feet getting caught. I grinned and walked up to him. I snatched the mkufu back and put it in my utility belt. simba, simba wa kike walked over to him. She snarled at him, her sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight. She put her claws to his throat.
“Don’t” I shook my head. The boy smiled and winked at me.
“Don’t get cocky, boy. Just because I told her not to tear out your throat doesn’t mean I won’t” I growled. I ran off, right into a bulky teen.
“Going somewhere?” he asked
“Yeah. Actually, I am” I grinned and slashed at his chest with my claws. He blinked, then looked down at his shredded shirt. With a feral snarl, I turned into a vixen and ran off, followed kwa simba, simba wa kike and Eagle.
‘You girls okay?’ I thought
‘Yup’ Eagle alisema cheerfully
‘Not a single hair out of place’ simba, simba wa kike thought
‘Good. The Light isn’t going to be happy, though. We didn’t kill them. Now we have witnesses’ I thought grimly. We returned to The Shadow’s HQ. I bowed before Ra's al Ghul.
“Master, I-“ I started
“I am very disappointed in wewe Vixen. wewe girls are the best of the Best. Why didn’t wewe kill the heroes?” he demanded, cutting me off.
“Okay, one, don’t cut me off. Two, Stop pointing out what went wrong and start pointing out what went right. And three, if we’re so good, then why doesn’t The Light know we exist? au are wewe keeping us your little secret, like wewe are our genetic enhancements?!” I exclaimed. I never liked Ra’s. He was always so bossy and stuck up and ‘I’m Ra’s al Ghul, bow down before me! If wewe don’t, I’ll get my slaves to kill you!’ and it was really testing my nerves.
‘Vixen! What are wewe doing?’ simba, simba wa kike demanded
‘Taking a stand for once in my pitiful life’ I thought back
“Don’t wewe dare talk to me that way, young lady” he snarled
“No! I’m not finished! wewe and the rest of the League are always bossing us around, like we’re your little pawns in a game of chess. Well, no more. I quit” I yelled. simba, simba wa kike and Eagle looked at me, then each other.
“We quit too” they alisema at the same time. The three of us stood together. We walked out the door. I decided on leaving Ra’s a little good bye present. I walked around the base, planting bombs every fifty feet. When I had covered the whole base, I ran outside and jumped into the motor mashua simba, simba wa kike and Eagle had prepped. When we had gotten twenty meters away, I pressed the trigger, blowing the building to pieces.
“Remind me to never get on your nerves” simba, simba wa kike muttered. Eagle laughed.
“So, where to, Captain?” Eagle asked
“I really don’t know” I shrugged
“I know an abandoned mountain in Happy Harbor we could hide in” simba, simba wa kike suggested
“How did wewe come across that?” I laughed
“I’m a traveler. What do wewe expect?” she grinned as we sped toward Happy Harbor.
“Do we have a radio on this thing?” Eagle asked, fumbling with the knobs on the dashboard. Suddenly, the song ‘Highway to Hell’ kwa AC/DC blasted from the speakers. We all jumped then grinned at each other. This song fit the moment pretty well.
