Broken Promises ~ Red Hood fanfiction.

Job gone wrong- chapter one

Anna was wearing her black uniform and placed on her black, short veil; covering her face. Her strawberry-blond hair up in a bun. Lifting her head she stared at her pale face in the mirror, barely recognising herself. What had she become? How did things go so wrong? How did she fall so far from grace? Glancing down at her bare arms she spotted the scars that covered her wrists. Those marks that always remind her of before everything tumbled to the ground, but told her that things would never work out for her. And Anna needed to accept that. Everything that she held dear either left or died in her arms. Her mind wondered back to one thing in particular.

Jason. Her best friend.

He would have been 25 today.

Strapping on arm plates on her forearms which connected up with the rest of her armour, she picked up the picture of them two together and looked at it with a heavy heart. They were eating cotton candy in the photo booth on her 13th birthday. He took her there for her present, and spent the whole evening together.

It was the best day of her life.

Moving it away and placing it in a pocket, Anna put on more body protection on her thighs and legs, strapping on her boots which stopped at her shin. Anna hopped on to the motorbike and headed to her destination. She was being payed $100,0000 for this job and she intended to get it.

When she arrived at her destination, she planned out her route. Of course it was a dingy warehouse, all of Gotham's crime lords have a easy time finding one. She was there on business, and hadn't been in the city in a few years. But, once she got the call, she packed her things up from Central City and made her way back to her former home. 

Anna shot a grappling hook to the roof and landed silently on the gravel which was spread along the top. A vent led up to the far right corner to allow easy air conditioning, so, she unclipped a gas bomb and tossed it through. Once she saw it cleared, Anna slid her body in, kicked the cage from the vent and dropped to the ground where multiple men laid unconscious. Anna stared down at them and checked the hallway for security cameras. When she spotted one, Anna pulled out a clay-coloured ball and threw it at the lens, to which it sparked and melted the metal.

Crouching low and steadily making her way to the room, she peered around the corner to see that 4 men were placed outside of a door. Two either side and the other two walking up and down the length of the corridor. Floyd Cold's men were patrolling the room where Lenny Well was staying. Being a part of two gang groups was a dangerous game to play and unfortunately for him, he messed up big time. Now he had one gang after his head, while the other one still needed him for the shipment that will be delivered in a few weeks. Anna didn't need all the details about anything that was going on, it wasn't that interesting to her if she was being honest. All she needed was the direction of the target was in and how much she was getting paid. It must be a massive operation if they called her in, and she wouldn't be surprised if she caught a glimpse of Batman sniffing around these areas.

So she decided she didn't want to stay long enough to find out.

Choosing her timing correctly, Anna pulled out two throwing stars and slit the first mans' throat and covered his mouth before laying him on the ground. Unclipping a gun with a silencer, Anna glanced up at a pole that was supporting the two walls and then flicked her gaze to the two men at the door. She sprung up from her position and clung onto the bar, then swung herself at the two men; shooting them before they had a chance to turn their heads. The last guard came back around the corner and took in the bloodshed before him. Anna flicked a throwing knife and calmly drove into his forehead. The knife must have lodged itself into the wall, as the body hung there with his head pinned against it like a scarecrow to a pole.
