TNARR Episode Two: Hunt
Prologue-
"What Chief?" Revenge asked, dropping seguinte to the police chief. The head of police was standing in front of a burning building while emergency officials tried to put out the fogo and tend to burnt citizens.
"One of your friends dropped por for a visit and left a present." Draxx said.
"What kind of present?" Nightbird asked. "And for who?"
"For you two." Draxx replied. "Couple packs of C4. Thankfully no one was hurt. I just can't believe she did it."
"She?" Revenge asked. "Ice Crystal?"
"No."
"Nightingale?"
"No, look I know you want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but-"
Draxx was interrupted por a police officer yelling "There! Open Fire!"
Bullets whizzed through the air towards a slim figure who somehow managed to dodge them all, cape flowing in the cool breeze of the night.
"I don't believe it." Revenge muttered.
Act One-
"Hunt"

Red Revenge
New York City, NY, USA
"Freeze!" Revenge yelled, jumping to the seguinte rooftop. He tossed mais daggers at the fleeing figure, finally catching her in the back. She fell to the ground seemingly lifeless.
Revenge walked over to the figure and turned her over.
"I think you had too much fun doing that." another voice said.
Revenge looked up to see Helena, not Huntress, leaning against the railing, her jaqueta whipping in the wind.
"How can I have just done that to you and you be over there out of costume?" Revenge asked, pulling a few daggers out.
"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." Helena said, walking over. She pulled one of the daggers from Revenge's hands and raised it above her head.
"No! Don't!" Revenge yelled.
Helena plunged the dagger into the female in her costume. She dividido, dividir the chest open to reveal the inner workings of---
---a robot.
"What the heck?" Revenge asked.
"Checked up on your buddy Electro recently?" Helena asked. "He ambushed me a few days atrás and made several clones out of me. He's been using them to tear apart Manhattan."
"How do I know you aren't another robot?" Revenge asked.
"Because..." Helena said, and leaned into his ear before whispering "What are you gonna do if he knows your Samuel Grant?"
Revenge looked at her for a moment before sighing and nodding. "Okay, fine."
"Now, are you gonna disable that listening device or not?" Helena asked.
"I did." Revenge said, standing up. "That dagger you took sent a small electrical current throughout the body. It deactivated every mechanical thing in there."
Helena stood up and walked over to Revenge. She was about to say something when soft footsteps landed on the roof.
"Well, well." Nightbird said. "If it isn't the girl from Manhattan." She said it with such hate, even Revenge flinched. Helena however, remained firm.
"If it isn't the failed assassin." she retorted back.
Nightbird growled and lunged at the girl. Before the two could break out in a fight, Red Revenge stepped between them. "Enough!" he exclaimed. The two girls immediately stopped, but still glared at each other.
"Look, we don't have time to fight." Revenge said. "If Electro is out of jail and making robots of heroes, it won't be long before-"
"Red Revenge!" a booming voice shouted. The three heroes looked up to see Bluestreak and Black Voltage landing on the rooftop.
"Bluestreak." Revenge said, stepping progressivo, para a frente to his arch-rival. "Not a good-"
Bluestreak held up a hand and interrupted the Black Hero. "Enough! Because of the recent actions of Huntress, we are taking her into custody. Attempt to stop us, and you will be charged too."
"Back off." Revenge said. "Huntress is innocent. We can prove it."
"Huntress is a member of the Freedom Fighters and therefore she falls under our jurisdiction. We are taking her into custody." Bluestreak said with a voice of command only Red Revenge could conquer.
"I said, Back. Off." Revenge said. "You want her, you go through me."
"Stand down, Revenge." Black Voltage said. "We don't wanna do this, but we have to."
"Give me a chance to prove her innocence!" Revenge said. "Give me forty-eight hours."
"What, and give her enough time to blow up another building? Maybe one with people inside?" Black Voltage exclaimed. "No way, man! And if you don't get your slimy little-"
"You may not be a member of the Freedom Fighters, but we can and will arrest you." Bluestreak interrupted.
Revenge glared at him for a minuto before muttering "Alpha".
Helena leaped off the building. Before the two titans could follow, Revenge had grabbed Bluestreak and Nightbird had leaped at Black Voltage.
Act Two:
Helena landed on her feet, as she always did. Above her, she could hear the sounds of battle as Red Revenge and Nightbird fought off her assailants.
But they weren't just a simple distraction to let her get away. They were most likely going to lose. They were giving her time to get away and prove her innocence.
And for that she was thankful.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Revenge flew into the wall. He groaned and sat up, rubbing the back of his head.
"I always was better than you, Revenge." Bluestreak said.
"You were also the most arrogant." Revenge said, grinning beneath his mask.
Bluestreak noticed his attitude change and looked down. What he thought had been dud daggers were actually explosives, primed and ready, laying all around him.
Revenge winked and triggered them. Bluestreak fell to the ground, a blue cage surrounding him. Red Revenge stood up and looked around for Nightbird.
He smelled the ozone before he got shot. A bolt of pure electricity hit him in the back, tossing him face-first into the wall. He groaned and fell to the ground, apparently unconscious.
Black Voltage tossed Nightbird seguinte to him and undid the restraints on Bluestreak.
"Look out!" Bluestreak gasped, still weak from his entrapment.
Daggers hit the two square in the head and they both fell to the ground unconscious.
Revenge stood up and groaned. He picked Nightbird up injected a liquid into her arm. She shot awake and looked around.
"Let's go." Revenge said without preamble. "Those two won't stay like that for long."
Nightbird nodded and the two leapt off the building.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"So why," azevinho, holly asked, slipping her mask off as the two leaned against a brick wall. "Do you care for Helena so much?"
"Because, well because... Do we really have to go over this again?!" Revenge exclaimed.
azevinho, holly sighed and rolled her eyes. "No, not if it makes you uncomfortable." she replied smartly.
Sam narrowed his eyes before sliding on his mask and shooting his grappling gun up, pulling him with it. azevinho, holly sighed and followed suit.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
A firm foot made quick work of the door. Helena walked into the shell of the abandoned warehouse. She was still dressed in her boots, skin-tight jeans and shirt, and black leather jacket. She had added her mask back onto her face to conceal her identity.
She strode boldly into the warehouse.
"Electro!" she called. "Get out here!"
"Oh, Huntress." a voice said from the shadows. The door slammed shut behind her and a single light illuminated the area where she stood. Helena looked cautiously around.
"Making the robots of you helped some." Electro continued as robots dropped down all around her. All in their exposed metal body. "But you see, in order for this to be a success..."
The robots' disguise changed into each member of the Freedom Fighters.
"I now need to dispose of the original."
Act Three:
"Helena, where are you?" Revenge asked, looking out his binoculars.
"Huge explosion, maybe?" Nightbird replied, pointing in the direction of a smoke nuvem rising on the city-scape.
"Most likely." Red Revenge replied.
The two shot their grappling lines and swung towards the battle scene.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Ahhh!" Helena exclaimed, stumbling back. Bluestreak's (well, the robot's) laser vision had fried part of her mask off, leaving a long scar on her face.
She yelled again as Black Voltage caught her in the back with a bolt of electricity. That was followed up with a stunning spell from Crow. Helena stumbled back, gasping heavily, leaning against the wall.
The eight members of the freedom fighters surrounded her. Things looked hopeless. Black Voltage raised his hands to shoot a killing burst of electricity when the roof caved in.
Well not the roof itself, but the glass half of it.
Revenge and Nightbird landed, weapons aimed and firing.
Nightbird shot boomerang-shaped projectiles from her gun at the robots. Her body moved with grace and elegance, each mover only outlining her perfect physique. Each robot was caught in the head and stumbled back.
All but Bluestreak, Vendicta, and Black Voltage. The three closed in on the teen vigilantes. Revenge stepped progressivo, para a frente and pulled something out of his utility belt. A glowing blue block burnt through the luva on his hand, giving rise to a foul smell in the air.
"Plasma." Revenge said, stepping toward Bluestreak. "Electro took the genes from the freedom fighters to get their powers, but he got a packaged deal. You got their weaknesses as well."
Bluestreak stumbled back. Revenge bent down and placed the block on Bluestreak's chest, burning through the metal plating in seconds.
Helena had taken on Black Voltage. She jumped and twisted through the air, delivering a kick that totally demolished the robot's head. Vendicta,s robot met a similar fate. Nightbird stood over her downed adversary when she noticed Revenge was gone.
Suddenly, something dropped down from the ceiling. A huge exo-suit, twenty feet tall stood before the two girls. The vigilantes were immediately in a fighting stance, but before anything could happen, the robot's eyes stopped glowing.
A moment later, Revenge appeared seguinte to the girls with a nerdy-looking kid in his grasp.
"Wanna fight without the toys?" Revenge asked.
Electro shivered in fear.
"That's what I thought." Revenge replied.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Revenge and Nightbird stood on the edge of the building, masks off, watching as Chief Draxx hauled off the equipment and the villain.
"Good job." Helena said, appearing beside the two. "I've been cleaned up with the Freedom Fighters and Bluestreak sent a message for you."
"I'm not interested." Revenge immediately replied.
"No. He wants the plasma turned over to him."
"No. Tell him if he wants it, he can come and get it." Revenge said.
Helena purred and grinned. "Get out of my town." she said before beijar him on the cheek and leaping off the building.
Nightbird growled. "One dia I swear I'm gonna-"
Prop for anyone who can figure out where Electro was!
