Anyone Can Be a Hero

When I woke up the next morning I found that all of my bags, that I had packed the night before, had been moved to the front door and that there were two bottles of pills next to my bed. I sighed and grabbed the two bottles and walked out of my room and placed the bottles into my one bag next to the door.

"Zoey, we're going to be leaving soon, so get ready."

"We flying or driving?" I asked as Selina walked into the room wearing a very fancy outfit.

"Flying- The plane takes off in about three hours, so let's get moving," she said and I nodded my head and went to go and take a shower and get dressed.

When we got to the airport, I still didn't know where we were going, so I just followed Selina. I heard whispering behind us, so I snuck a peak and saw that security guards were following us, "Selina."

"Huh?"

"We’ve got company," I said and she sighed and then we walked into what to be a smoking area. Luckily no one was there, so I dug through my bag to make it look like I was doing something, and Selina started to fix her makeup. A security guard came in and looked at Selina and said that she had to go with her.

"Oh, ok. Can you hold this please?" she asked while handing her hat over to the guard and looking like she was looking for something and I turned around and punched the guy in the stomach. He gasped and then fell to the ground in pain, "Nicely done."

"Thanks," I said and we gathered up our stuff and hurried out of the room and tried to make it to the plane only to be stopped by a police officer, detective, or whatever he was.

He led the two of us into a room and sat us down. I looked him up and down and got a whiff of his scent, it was the same scent from the guy that was talking to the construction man on the day that Bane took over the Wall Street, and the same guy that I ran into at the park yesterday. He introduced himself as Detective John Blake.

I was thinking things over, and by the time I came back to the real world I was watching Selina being handcuffed and taken away. But as an officer took her to the door, the detective called out, "I'm looking for a friend of mine as well, Ms. Kyle."

"And how would I know where he is?" Selina asked as she looked at the detective.

"His name's Bruce Wayne," he said and I looked up and then looked towards the ground sadly, "Did he try to go after Bane? Did they kill him?"

"I don't know," she said and then she was taken away. But before she left, she was able to give me that motherly look that she always gives me when she wants me to hide out. That look means that she's going to be gone for a little bit, but while she's gone, she will be thinking of a plan to get us both out of here. As they took her away I looked back at the man and saw him staring back at me.

"Where do I know you from?" I heard and looked up to see the detective looking at me.

"No where?"

"Who are you even?"

"None of your concern."

"Well I need to take your finger prints," he said and I glared at him and he walked over and took my hand. When his skin made contact with mine he shocked me, "Sorry,” I noticed that his skin was cooler than mine, but he smelled really good, whoever he was. I don't know why, but it seemed like his scent was drawing me in, "Are you feeling all right?"

And there goes that feeling, "I'm fine."

"You're really warm," he said and then felt my forehead, but I pulled back and looked at him.

"I said I'm fine. Are we done here?"

He looked at me for a second, and I got a chance to stare into his eyes. Those eyes were going to get me into trouble, "No, do you know where Bruce Wayne is?" I looked down and sighed and then looked back at him. I didn't have to say anything for this guy to understand that there was no way that his friend was alive, "Ok, have a good day."

"Ok," I said and then grabbed my bags and headed towards the door.

"And don't leave Gotham!"

I waved, showing that I got his messages and then left the room and headed out of the airport, ‘…So much for running…’ I thought as I headed back to the crappy home and sat on the couch.

I wanted to watch TV and wait out the time I had until Selina came back, but as the hours went on, I was becoming hungry and restless. All I kept thinking about was that cop and how good he smelled, and how he made my skin feel when he touched my hand.

"Snap out of it!" I growled and then stood up and started to pace. There was a knock at the door and I glared at it and tried to hear anything, there was a knock again and I sniffed the air and froze, ‘…Bane!...’ I thought when I got the scent, "Shit!" I growled and then heard the door break down and I ran to the window. I tried to jump out of it, but I felt Bane grab my ankle when I got out, which caused me to fall back and hit my head off of the brick building, ‘…Oh, that’s going to leave a lovely bruise…’ I felt Bane pull me up and then throw me onto the couch. My eyes widened as I looked at him and saw at least five of his goons around me, "What do you want?"

"What are you?"

"Me? What are you?" I barked and he laughed, well at least from what I could tell, and then bent down. I moved farther into the couch, because he scared the crap out of me, and then stared at me in the eyes.

"You're not human, nor are you evil."

"Why would I want to be evil?" I asked and he stood up and brought his hand up like he was going to hit me, I flinched and hid my head.

"Sir, I found these," a voice interrupted and I looked up to see the many carrying my bottle of pills.

"No!" I yelled and tried to grab them, but Bane brought his hand out and caught me by my throat.

"What are these?"

"They're mine!" I croaked out, coughing a little as Bane tightened his grip around my throat.

"For what?"

"They help me!"

"With what?" he asked and his grip got stronger, "I don't think you can take much, so I'd hurry up and answer,” I could feel the beast in my becoming mad, and once the wolf was out, it was very hard to get her to go back in, "What are you hiding in there?" he asked as he stared into my eyes, "Come out, come out, whatever you are!"

I looked up at him and smirked, Bane was going to get exactly what he wanted, "You asked for it!"

As I was still in his grip as I started to shift. He watched as my eyes, went from their innocent brown, to a deep gold, how my golden skin started to be replaced with white fur, my bones broke under his hand and were being morphed. I heard his men backing up, and by the time I was finished I was out of Bane's grip and standing in front of him. I was his height, if not taller, I was bigger than him; I believed I was stronger than him.

"Wonderful! What a wonderful creature you are," Bane said and laughed as I bent my head down and snarled at him, "Why hide what you are?"

I snarled and then charged at him, he laughed and then as I collided with him, he caught me. My eyes widened, ‘…Could he really be that strong?!...’ I thought as he threw me back and I hit the wall, ‘…I need to get out of here! He’s gunna kill me!...’

Bane came at me and grabbed my tail and threw me to the other side of the room where I landed on top of the glass table and broke it. I could feel a piece of it in my side, but I shook it off and stood back up. I snarled at him and the charged again. I managed to bite his shoulder and scratch his arm before I was thrown to the side, and thrown right through the window. A ten story building and I was falling out of the top floor, lucky me.

I landed on top of a car on my side, I was breathing heavily and moving slow, but I knew that I needed to move because Bane was on his way. I got off of the car and managed to limp away, I stayed in the shadows because I was still a wolf. It would hurt too much to shift now, but I knew I had to, someone was bound to see me if I did.

I heard people running behind me and saw that it was Bane's men, I started to run, and as I ran I shifted. Seeing light up a head, I knew that's where I needed to head towards. Not really know where I was heading, until I felt the dead impact of some hard hitting me and sending me flying.
I was on the ground, I could hear someone trying to call me, but I couldn't really respond. I could feel myself slowly healing, and I do mean slowly. I managed to open my eyes and I felt myself being held up, I looked up and saw the cop that was questioning Selina and I at the airport. Just my luck, it would be him.

"Are you all right? Can you hear me? Hey, stay with me! Can you hear me?" he kept on asking but I couldn't really respond.

I looked forward and saw Bane's men in the ally way staring at me. I glared and then started to sit up on my own.

"Whoa there, not too fast! Are you all right?"

"Fine," I said and then winced as I tried to stand.

"I don't think you are, let me call an ambula-"

"No! I said I'm fine!" I said and he helped me stand and then started at me.

"Ok, no ambulance. Do you remember me?"

I looked at him, there were those eyes again. I don't know what they did to me when I looked at them, but I didn't like it at all.

"Yes, you’re the cop," I whispered and he nodded his head.

"Look your hurt, I know you're friends with Ms. Kyle, but you need-"

"I'm fine," I said and started to walk away but then the pain in my side hurt too much, I felt him grab me when I started to fall again, "I hate hospitals," I managed to make out before I felt myself black out.
