Title: Red Hood Reborn
Summary: See chapter one
Rating: T
Disclaimer: I don’t own. Don’t sue.
AN: After my husband read the first chapter, he was unhappy with how Jason Todd was portrayed. So this chapter is my attempt to rectify that impression. Hopefully through the next few chapters all will become clear and characters will be less OOC. Reviews are always welcome, Thanks!
AN2: I feel kinda stupid. I meant to post this here, but instead clicked on another community and posted it there (hangs head in shame). Hopefully one of these days my head will be screwed on straight. We can only hope.
Chapter Two
Chloe struggled to get her eyes to open. As she tried to clear her vision she attempted to remember what happened. She felt someone slap her cheeks. Hard. The first hit brought her completely into consciousness. The second made her angry.
She could taste the salty, metallic tang of blood in her mouth and ran her tongue over her lips and teeth. She felt the split lip, but she still had all of her teeth. The ache in her head was turning into a dull throb as she started to take inventory of her body.
As her sight cleared, she tried to shake the cobwebs from her mind and found she couldn’t move her head. When she realized this she tried to move her hands, then her feet, only to discover she was completely bound to the chair she was sitting in.
She started to panic. What happened to her? What was she doing? And then she remembered. Jason. Bruce was right. He’s lost his mind. Or he never came back with it fully intact. She thought to herself. Great, I’m trapped in the hide out of a League of Assassins trained maniac. Not only that, but nobody knows where I am. Smooth Chlo, real smooth.
Just as she was considering yelling for help, she felt breath on her ear and someone grab her face.
“Nice to see you a member of the fully awake Ms. Sullivan. Now do you mind telling me exactly what your real mission is? You know as well as I do, Batman doesn’t care what I do as long as I don’t kill anyone. And surely you don’t believe you alone could have taken me on,” He spoke into her ear.
“Don’t bother yelling for help either. Nobody will hear you. And even if they did, they wouldn’t care”
“What did you do to me Jason?” Chloe asked with a scowl.
“You mean you don’t remember? I’m shocked. You walked right into my ruse without even calling it in. I simply chose to use the means I had at my disposal to render you incapable of signaling for help. You may not have noticed yet, but I have striped you of any and all tricks or gadgets you may have had on your person,” he smirked at her.
“What do you plan on doing with me Jason?” she asked.
“I plan on using you for leverage. Watchtower,” he stated. “As long as I have you in my care, not a single member of your precious League is going to interfere with my plan. Now I won’t have to worry about Superman or Green Lantern sticking his uptight nose in my business. I’ll have to send Bruce a ‘Thank You’ for sending you to investigate. Would flowers be too much?”
“You’re keeping me here? Damn it Jason! Let me go. They will find me. As soon as I don’t check in at the appointed time, they will start looking for me, and they WILL find me,” She told him through clenched teeth.
“Oh, are you referring to this handy little tracking chip?” he asked holding up the device in a pair of tweezers. “You know they really should have imbedded it in a much more secure place. The top of the wrist is terribly accessible you know.”
She glanced down at her had to see the bandage there. Crap. Now what? She thought.
“Superman will find me. It’ll take him MINUTES, you asshole,” she ground out through clenched teeth.
“How?” he asked, full blown grin affixed to his face. “You mean he has suddenly developed the ability to see though lead? Do you know how many lead lined buildings there are in Gotham? Quite a few actually. It was one of the selling points of this particular spot.”
“Now, I’m going out for a while. Try not to scream yourself hoarse.” He smirked at her as he walked past.
She closed her eyes and grimaced. Think Chloe! You’re the JLAs Watchtower for God’s sake. You’re smarter than this douche bag. Think!
“Have a nice day Ms. Sullivan. Try not to miss me too much.”
“I will figure out what your game is Jason Todd. And when I get out of here, the JLA is going to take you down and anyone working with you. I promise you that,” she glared at him fiercely.
“Spunky, I like that in a woman.”
