 My Little Rene!!!
My Little Rene!!!
Rene ran through the zeta, her head bleeding in the back, leaving a dark red streak on the back of her neon yellow T-shirt. Zack sat on the ソファー, ソファ and looked up at her, smiling.

    “Zack?” she 発言しました a little shaking.

    “Yes?”

“I don’t feel so good…” she 発言しました with her voice trailing off as she fell onto the ground. Zack quickly caught her before her head hit the ground. He held the back of her head and then pulled his hand away, looking at the red heads blood that dripped off his hand. Zack turned her over and saw the trail of blood on Rene’s T-shirt. The black haired boy picked her up, carrying her like a baby, and ran to the infirmary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Zack burst through the door and went up to a nurse, 表示中 her the streak of blood on his girlfriend’s T-shirt. The nurse told him to put her on the empty hospital ベッド 次 to the desk, and he did as she said. A tall doctor came over and pushed the ベッド Rene laid on into a room, making Zack wait outside. He frowned and sat in a chair outside the door, knowing that his girlfriend would want him to listen to the doctor.

    Inside the room, Rene was completely unconscious, her head still bleeding as she lay in the bed. The doctor flipped her over and moved her red hair, looking for the bleeding wound. He found a deep laceration in the back of her head, her scalp torn right down to the bone. The doctor opened the door and yelled for a nurse to bring him a needle and thread. Zack looked up at the doctor and panicked a little bit. He asked if he could come into the room; but the doctor had already gone back into Rene’s room. The doctor grabbed some gauze and started to cleanse the wound, making it easier to see her wounded scalp. A nurse rushed in with a needle and thread, handing it to the doctor. He thanked her, cleaned the little bit of blood that still dripped from where the laceration was; and began to suture her scalp closed. The doctor sewed the wound shut and knotted the thread, carefully holding Rene’s head the whole time. He kept her lying in the bed, allowing her to regain consciousness. The nurse to his needle and extra thread and threw it out in a metal trash can as she walked out of the room. Zack, who had been patiently waiting, looked up and quickly went up to her, asking if he could go in to see the red head. She nodded and went to the 次 doctor needing assistance. The black haired boy went into the room, seeing a different nurse flip Rene over, carefully placing her head on the pillow, and put an IV in her arm. The doctor still stood in the room, holding a clipboard, 書く things down. Rene still lay unconscious in the bed; her eyelids closed, 表示中 her blue veins. Zack walked over to her and sat in the chair 次 to the bed, taking her thin limp hand and holding it. The nurse finished placing the IV and went over to the doctor, who still held his clipboard. He talked to the nurse for a minute, handed her the clipboard and walked out of the room.

    “You can check her out when she regains consciousness,” the nurse 発言しました to Zack, “just make sure her stiches don’t get infected. You’ll want to wash them gently so they don’t come out または cause her any pain.”

    “Okay, thank you.”

    “You’re welcome,” she 発言しました as she put the clipboard on the hook on the ベッド and walked out of the room, leaving Rene and Zack alone in the room. The black haired boy still held onto her lifeless hand while he waited for his girlfriend to wake.

    About a half an 時 later, Rene’s brown eyes flickered open, looking up at the ceiling. She looked at the hand Zack held as he slept in the chair. The red head sat up, scooting back so she leaned onto the pillows, her hand slipping from Zack’s hand. He awoke when her hand left his, looked at her smiling a little bit. Rene went to touch the stiches on her head; but he slapped her hand away.

    “You can’t touch it,” he said, his voice calm,” あなた don’t want to get it infected.”

    “Okay,” the girl said, leaning back on the pillows.

    “So, are あなた going to tell me what happened?”

    “Nope.”

    “Why?”

    “Cause it’s none of your concern.”

    “How is it none of my concern? I’m your boyfriend.”

    “Because I 発言しました it is none of your concern. Now,” she 発言しました as she got out of the bed, “check me out so we can go.” Rene walked out of the room, Zack behind her. He checked her out and left the infirmary, trying to grab Rene’s hand; but she walked ahead of him.

    “Rene, are あなた okay?” She turned to face him.

    “Yeah, why do あなた ask?”

    “Because あなた won’t tell me what happened and you’re avoiding me at the moment while we walk.” Rene stayed silent, turned around, and continued walking forward, ignoring Zack. He sighed and followed her, having nothing else to say. The red head grabbed her phone out of her back pocket and texted Rosie and Maxine. Meet me outside The Daily ラッパ, バグル, ビューグル in an hour. We have some business to attend to. Both of the girls replied saying they’d be there. Rene walked a little bit faster, going into her apartment building. Her boyfriend followed her upstairs and into her apartment, closing the door behind him. The red head went into her room and changed into her hero outfit, then came back out, grabbing her bag, and went to the closet in the corner of the main room. Zack watched her put weapons into her bag.

    “Where are あなた going?” he asked her as she grabbed a folder and slipped on her military jacket, backpack on her shoulders.

    “Somewhere,” she 発言しました as she was about to open the door; but he stopped her.

    “Where?”

    “Somewhere.”

    “That’s not a place.” Rene nodded, trying to push him out of the way; but he wouldn’t budge.

    “Dude, let me go.”

    “Not till あなた tell me what happened.”

    “It’s none of your-“

    “Concern?” he 発言しました cutting her off, “Yes, it is.”

    “No, it’s not. Now, leave me be,” she 発言しました as she jumped out the window into an alley, and teleported away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rene walked into The Daily ラッパ, バグル, ビューグル and burst right into Jameson’s office, throwing the folder on his desk.

    “There’s your 記事 Jameson, happy?” He flipped through the folder, skimming over the story and pictures.

    “Good Ms. Oshea. Your 次 記事 is due two weeks from tomorrow. Free choice this time.” Rene smiled.

    “Thanks Jameson,” she 発言しました as she two-finger saluted to him, walking out of his office. On her way out, she bumped into Peter Parker. “Hey, there’s the guy I need.” He smiled and shook his head.

    “Pictures of ‘you know who’?”

    “Doi. I’ll need them in about a week, if あなた don’t mind.”

    “I don’t mind at all. I’ll Eメール them to you.”

    “You’re the best あなた know that?” she asked sweetly as she hugged him. He smiled and hugged her back. Rene broke away and waved goodbye as the elevator doors closed. She walked out of the elevator, holding a strap of her backpack; and walked out to where she saw Maxine and Rosie waiting for her, their hero outfits covered によって jackets. Rosie smiled at her and signed hello.

    “Hey,” Rene said, smiling. She looked over at Maxine, whose arms were crossed in front of her chest.

    “Alright Rene, what are we doing this time?” The red head turned around and parted her hair carefully, 表示中 them both her new stitches.

    “Good job,” Rosie signed, “almost got yourself killed. Again.” Rene did an eye roll.

    “Oh stop it Rosie. You’ve almost gotten yourself killed a couple times before.”

    “Except あなた do it もっと見る regularly,” Rosie signed.

    “Both of あなた stop,” Maxine said. “So, what does this have to do with your new scar?”

    “Joker,” Rene 発言しました with her voice serious. “He tried to shoot me, which he did, but he just grazed my scalp deeply. We,” she paused, smiling,” are gonna go kick his 尻, お尻 a little. Teach him a lesson.”

    “I 愛 teaching lessons,” Maxine 発言しました with a grin. “You got some weapons?” Rene tugged on her backpack strap.

    “Of course. Can’t leave ホーム without them.”

    “Then let’s go,” Rosie signed, “I have a 日付 later.” The blonde and the red head looked at her like she was crazy.

    “Since when do あなた date?” Maxine asked her as the three of them walked down the street.

    “Since I got asked out on Saturday,” Rosie signed.

    “Good for あなた Roselz,” Rene said, “You don’t get out enough. Unless I call あなた over for a movie marathon…” Rosie laughed.

    “Okay then,” Maxine 発言しました slowly. The other two girls laughed as they walked down the street.

    “Alright, we better get moving before him and Harley disappear on us,” Rene 発言しました as she grabbed her friends’ hands and teleported to one of his お気に入り hideouts: The docks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The three of them teleported to the entrance of his hideout; right in front of the door. Rene took off her backpack and unzipped slowly, without making a sound. She pulled out a sword, a few hand guns, a grenade, and the gun Twan had 与えられた her. Rosie grabbed the sword and ran her hand over it while it was on fire, making the edge hot and sharp. Maxine grabbed the grenade and two hand guns, putting the grenade in her back pocket and holding the guns. The red head grabbed the gun she got from Twan, smiling as she thought about some memories, the shook her head and put the gun in her pocket. They all stood up and went to the door, slowly opening it so it wouldn’t make a sound. Joker and Harley were sitting on a ソファー, ソファ together, watching some TV program. The three girls walked over and pointed their weapons at them, locking their guns. Joker turned around, his face in a big grin as usual.

    “Harley, look! It’s the three musketeers! Why, I haven’t seen あなた guys since that-“

    “That’s 上, ページのトップへ secret Joker,” Maxine 発言しました sternly, “And あなた know that.”

    “Sorry Ms. Ivory,” Joker 発言しました to her, “What are あなた gonna, use some of that persuasive magic of yours on me? Cause we all know it doesn’t work on me.” Maxine just stood there, her face growing redder によって the second, trying to think of a good come back; but she didn’t have one.

    “Maxine?” Rene whispered to her.

    “And my little オレンジ haired rose,” Joker said, “Well, are あなた going to burn me to death? または are あなた scared to?”

    “I’m not that scared anymore,” Rosie signed, still holding the sword in her hand, “I should chop your head off right now.”

    “Why haven’t あなた yet then?” The green haired man asked her. Rosie’s face flushed with anger, but 発言しました nothing. He smiled his big grin. “Looks like the rose has nothing to say either,” Joker said, chuckling. Rene went up to him and pointed a gun at his head.

    “Shut up あなた lunatic または I’ll pull the trigger.”

    “Of course, little Rene Kenna Oshea, how could I forget you?”

    “It’s very hard, but あなた managed,” she said, pushing the gun harder on his head.

    “Oh come on, I’m just messing with you,” he said, ruffling her hair. She slapped his hand away and pushed the gun harder, pulling the trigger a little.

    “I don’t like it when people mess with my hair, and I especially don’t like when people try to shoot me either.”

    “Oh my little red head, あなた know I’m just having a little fun! Hey, why don’t we all have a sleepover,” he 発言しました as he pulled something out of his pocket, “I have my toothbrush.” He pulled out a gun from his pocket, but Rene slapped it out of his hand and pulled the trigger on her gun a little more, not firing it.

    “Um, no thanks.”

    “Party pooper, no cake for you,” he said, a pout on his face.

    “Sorry, but I would rather not get killed in my sleep.” Maxine came closer to Joker and put a gun to the other side of his head. Rosie came over, her hands on fire, standing in front of him.

    “Well, looking like the party is really starting!” The mad man said. Both Maxine and Rene had their fingers on the trigger, pulling it back; but not firing. Joker quickly moved out of his シート, 座席 and ran out of the building, Harley following him. “Not today little girls! Maybe at our 次 party!” He 発言しました as he ran out of the hideout. Rene sighed and made her backpack appear 次 to her, throwing her gun in the bag. Maxine and Rosie did the same with their weapons.

    “Looks like this was a bit of a bust,” Maxine said.

    “That’s okay,” the red head said, “There’s always 次 time.”

    “Alright,” Rosie signed, “I got to get back to my house. Rene, will あなた teleport me there?”

    “Sure! Have fun on your 日付 girl!”

    “I plan to,” she signed as Rene 発言しました a few magic words and teleported Rosie off. The red head turned to Maxine and smiled.

    “Wanna have a movie marathon with me?” she asked the blonde, who had been fairly quiet. Maxine sighed.

    “Fine,” she said. Rene squealed, but Maxine stopped her, “As long as we don’t watch Ice Age.”

    “Why not Ice Age?”

    “Because Sid freaks me out.”

    “But he’s the best character!”

    “Yeah, okay.”

    “Fine, we’ll watch Nemo, and Aladdin, and Alice in Wonderland!”

    “As long as we have ポップコーン and root beer, I’ll be fine,” Maxine 発言しました as they walked down the street.

    “Okey dokey lokey! With an artichokey!” Rene said, giggling.

    “Oh god someone shoot me now,” Maxine mumbled. The red head laughed hysterically as they went to her apartment, where they would begin their ディズニー Movie Marathon.

Eric dropped his backpack on the couch, glancing over at the T.V. Static, again, but no one seemed to be watching. Looking towards the kitchen, he noticed M’gann wasn’t there, cooking like she usually was. In fact, the whole cave had an empty air to it. Well. Emptier than usual.
It had been two months since any of them had seen Infinity, after she’d stormed out and announced a name change, to Phoenix. She never was around to enforce it, however. Cutting off all ties with the team and League, she’d gone completely off the map, disappearing from everyone in a matter...

Before a single word escape his mouth, he already knew the whole speech like the back of his hand. With ease, バットマン clinked the mug onto the counter beside the keyboard and turn to face the distress bird.

"How da--"

Batman rose his palm, and like that, Nightwing shut his mouth. Unlike his former student, バットマン can recite an entire novel with a single stroke of a button. Instantly, light provoke the darkness. Waking the emptiness with a tug, then tossing towards the background for the undying lust for ground.

"Phantom corps. Is that who they are?" Nightwing relaxed his brow, and tossed a hip...

End of the minis! :D Enjoy!

It took them もっと見る than an 時 to find the three of the girls. によって that time they had ended up もっと見る than 10 miles away from basically any civilization, because the toddlers had somehow snuck onto a train that stopped in the middle of nowhere. But they’d found them.
“Don’t ever do that again, please,” Eric pleaded with the small four-year-old, who was screaming happily in his arms. “Please.”
“Okay!” Fin giggled, grabbing his arm. He slowly handed her over to Hayden, who was looking at her with disgust. “Where are あなた going?” Hayden asked him.

Betrayal

(Part 2)

New York City

June 14, 23:09 EST

Batman placed a firm kick on the door and it fell in. スーパーマン and Flash quickly scoured the penthouse while バットマン walked into the living room. He bent down on the floor and rubbed his fingers.

"Superman! Flash!"

The two sped into the room and looked at Batman.

"This way." The Dark Knight said, standing up and following the trail of blood down the stairs. It led to a storage closet and just ended. バットマン threw open the door and looked inside. Nothing but a mop and broom.

"Damn it!" he exclaimed.

"Nightwing to Batman. I've found Revenge."

Lexi, even though she was little, had a devious little mind. She had buttered the floor, making it slippery. She took a quarter out of her pocket, and slid it across the floor, it slid across perfectly. She smirked, this was a good prank, and maybe she would earn the タイトル of, "Prank Master". This would be great...

Jaime rubbed his eyes groggily, and stepped--scratch that--slipped into the kitchen. He slid, and clumsily fell onto his rear. Lexi was giggling madly, sitting on the counter. Jaime winced, then looked up...

Okay, I was bored and didn’t feel like sleeping, so I wrote this. This is dedicated to all the couples out there, which is why I don’t actually use names, instead using a generic “he” and “she”. Warning: may have some slightly graphic content (by that I mean blood, death, et cetera) and extreme sob factor (if ya know what I mean). :P
This world will never be what I expected
And if I don't belong who would have guessed it...

“We need to know what's going on!” Alek exclaimed.
“Yeah but Tara won't tell us,” Silver rationalized.
“But there is one who might know,” Ciel interrupted.
“Yeah. Except she's completely dropped off the face of the Earth! Not even バットマン could locate her!”
“Silver's right. We have no way of knowing where she is! “
Fang, who had been leaning against the wall, held up two fingers as if to “I have your solution.” They looked over at him at the sudden gesture.
“You three forget I'm married to her confident.”

Fang nodded.

A little crack ship in honor of Hallows Eve.

"Prisoner 117," the jailer called in Russian. The crowd parted and two guards stepped forward, dragging a prisoner between them. The オレンジ jumpsuit he wore was little もっと見る than mud splattered, blood stained rags. His hair, once a gleaming, wavy golden blond, was darkened and matted. The penitentiary guards threw the boy into the mud at the jailer's feet. He groaned and coward like a wounded animal.
"Filthy razboynik*," the jailer spit, speaking in his language. "You are nothing of use to us any longer. あなた have refused to give us any information...

I dropped the knife, tears streaming down my face. I killed. I have never killed before. Why was I crying about it? I liked killing. I smirked. Launching at another, I opened my wings, my sword ready to be swung. An Eraser's head was on the floor now. Blood spewed from the neck, and it finally collapsed. I was bloodthirsty. Ready to kill. A scientist cried for help, only to have his ハート, 心 punctured によって my sword. Blood dripped from his mouth, and he collapsed. I whipped around, blood now covering my bare--that's right, I'm fighting naked--body. You...

The gun was dropped and Brendan spun around, kicking it up and pointing it at the target. Once again the gun was dropped.

Blood sputtered from her mouth. Lips quivering as she peered up to the girl's limp body in the man's arms. The girl she swore to protect. There was no way he was going take Melissa's life before her own.

Into a page that says あなた faded way too young
