Hunting the Manhunter

Nov 22, 2007 05:08

Los Angeles is a shithole.

Constant sun and constant smog
Constant traits of the Angelic City
Trapped in a vapid, shallow fog
The urban sprawl is constantly shitty.Sometimes, the rhymes still come to him, no matter how much time has passed since he was that broken fool wearing a cape ( Read more... )

Kate Spencer had been on edge lately, and with good reason. It had been a while since she’d returned from Portsmouth City, and Dr. Mid-Nite hadn’t yet made good on this threat to come down and visit her and see how she worked.

Which was a good thing since he likely wouldn’t approve of what she was doing now, Kate mused as she slammed the heel of her hand into the masked face of a new villain calling herself Hangwoman - obviously a riff on an older villain named Hangman, if her costume and M.O. was anything to go by. Well, at least this time, the villain isn’t pretending to be a male.

Kate had lost a case against her earlier that day, and immediately, she’d hopped into her car and trailed the bitch all day, until she found her getting ready to brutally murder another cop.

Not this time, bitch! Kate thought to herself as she ducked and avoided what could have been a very vicious kick to the chest. She brought her staff up and whacked Hangwoman across the head with it. There was a resounding, dull thud as the staff made contact, ( ... )

Kate will wake up in a sterile, if drably gray room, lying in a cheap bed.

A skeleton in a black suit is outside, looking in through a large window.

Smoking a cigar, he gives her a nod.

Kate sits up, her head groggy.

Her first thought is about the Hangwoman getting away. She curses herself, and as she does so, she sees a skull staring what she can only guess is intently at her.

He nods.

Kate immediately leaps off the bed and reaches for her staff - only to find that she doesn't have it with her. She reaches up to check to see if she's still wearing her mask.

She is.

Chanelling fear into anger, Kate strides up to the window and raps on it, ignoring the fact that she's about to talk to Skeletor-in-a-suit.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

"Take it easy. You've got a concussion."
