◼ PERSONALITY | Rose Wilson is a proud rebel. She disobeys orders often, and likes making sarcastic comments. Rose likes to have the last words in. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and makes it obvious when she doesn’t like someone. But Rose hides her insecurity. She never really knows her place, so she moves around a lot.

//DESCRIPTION:
Rose Wilson is a thin, tall, muscular woman with fair skin. Her eye is a brilliant greenish-blue. She only has her right eye, because the left was damaged by during her youth by Wade DeFarge. Due to her abilities and injury, the left eye is 'blind', rendering it white and pupil-less. Rose wore a white eye patch over the missing eye in her youth, but will only cover her eye now if necessary for covert or subtle affairs. Described by many as attractive, she has jarring silver hair inherited from her father's genetic mutations that is long and reaches her mid-back. In terms of clothing, Rose generally can be found wearing her 'Batgirl' armor when on a mission but off-duty prefers to relax in shorts and tank tops. She can dress up when needed but prefers to dress comfortably.

◼ SYNOPSIS:
◼ HISTORY:
In this universe, Rose Wilson is the daughter of Slade Wilson and Nyssa al Ghul. She was raised by her mother in Gotham, until Nyssa’s death when Rose was 14. Afterwards, Rose was put into foster care until her foster parents were killed by the second Ravager. Rose was then trained by her father, Deathstroke who had her best Ravager and take his mantle as her own. Rose turned to being a hero after her father set her up to die. Travelling the world, Rose eventually returned to Gotham where she has become dubbed ‘Batgirl’ by the media.
◼ HISTORY:
A N H E I R F O R A D E M O N
The origins of Rose Wilson begin in Gotham, several years before she was born with the man by the alias of the Batman.
During the course of the Batman’s career, he had faced many formidable foes, although none took the same kind of interest in Gotham’s Dark Knight as Ra’s Al Ghul. The Demon’s Head of the League of Assassins, Ra’s Al Ghul held far more international influence than any of Batman’s regular rogue gallery. However, despite how wide-spread the Demon’s plans were, the Detective had always managed to stop him at every turn, earning the respect of Ra’s and the affections of his eldest daughter, Talia.
Putting the Dark Knight through a series of tests, Ra’s awaited the Detective’s anticipated success. When he was not disappointed, the Demon’s Head offered the Batman his daughter’s hand in marriage and his rightful role as Ra’s own successor as the Demon’s Head. However, Batman refused and escaped Nanda Parbat leaving both Ra’s and Talia scorned.
However, Ra’s youngest daughter, Nyssa Raatko al Ghul, discovered the existence of a man who had bested the Bat in combat, the mercenary known as Deathstroke. Nyssa tracked the mercenary to Cambodia where he was celebrating a recent victory within a brothel. Seducing the mercenary, Nyssa laid with Slade Wilson, shortly after becoming pregnant with his child. Earnest to earn her father’s respect and usurp her sister’s inheritance, Nyssa announced her pregnancy and stated the father to be a man who had bested the Batman.
Enraged at her half-sister, Talia made an attempt on Nyssa’s life, prompting the younger woman to flee her home in Nanda Parbat. Returning to Cambodia, Nyssa took the alias of Lillian Worth, hiding among the brothel she had met Deathstroke at while nursing the child growing inside her.
Eventually, Ra’s grew curious about the man who had supposedly defeated the Batman. Locating the mercenary, Ra’s hired Deathstroke to pursue Nyssa. However, Talia had her own private guard follow Deathstroke, ordering them to eliminate both when the mercenary discovered the location of her sister.
Discovering the pregnant woman, Deathstroke moved to extract her when the brothel came under attack of Talia’s elite guard, the Nagini. Escaping into the jungles of Cambodia with Nyssa, the Nagini left no witnesses to their attack as they exterminated everyone within the brothel.
For the next two weeks, Deathstroke led Nyssa through the jungle as he defended her from attacks of the Nagini until finally the pair managed to escape Cambodia. Deathstroke took Nyssa to the one city on Earth where he knew she would be safe from the reach of Talia and Ra’s al Ghul, Gotham City.

A Y O U T H R A V A G E D
It was another decade before Nyssa would see Slade Wilson again. In that span of time, her child was born, a baby girl that Nyssa bestowed the given name of Xia al Ghul. However much like herself, the child was not safe to use her given name and thus was given another, Rose Melisandre Wilson, in honor of her father’s surname.
Gotham City provided a safe home for Nyssa and her child. While the city was forever under the vigilant eyes of the Batman, Slade Wilson had also assigned his personal confidant, William Wintergreen to watch over Nyssa and her child. But it was Wintergreen’s presence in Gotham that eventually attracted the attention of Deathstroke’s enemies.
Despite the fact that Deathstroke had denied himself any interaction with his daughter, one of his enemies determined her identity and set out to use Rose against her father. Attacking Wintergreen and leaving him for dead, a rival by the name of Ravager invaded Nyssa’s home, killing her as a message for Slade and abducting fourteen year old Rose before Deathstroke had a chance to intervene.
With Wintergreen out of commission, Slade was begrudgingly forced to seek the help of Gotham’s Dark Knight, and pair reluctantly worked together to rescue Rose. While the Dark Knight and the Terminator sought Rose’s location, the Ravager tortured the young girl, broadcasting the torture to Slade’s personal network.
While he tortured Rose, the Ravager revealed to Rose that Deathstroke was her father and when Rose refused to look at the images he presented her of Slade and her mother in Cambodia, the Ravager took her eye. Eventually growing bored of torturing the teenager, Ravager delivered a direct invite to Deathstroke, telling him exactly where to come to save his daughter.
Pretending to be lured into the Ravager’s trap, Deathstroke arrived as instructed while the Batman infiltrated the location undetected, extracting Rose, allowing Deathstroke to defeat and unmask the Ravager. Discovering the man to be a rival by the name of Wade DeFarge, Slade executed the man so that the secret of his daughter died with him.
With Rose safe, Deathstroke had Wintergreen prepare a proper funeral for Nyssa only to discover the body was gone. Knowing Rose’s mother was in the hands of her father, Deathstroke turned Rose over to the Batman so that she could be placed in foster care where neither he, nor Wintergreen, nor Nyssa would know so she could be safe. Relocating the girl to New York City, Rose was placed in the care of Marvin and Nichole Madison.

O V E R T H E E D G E
Life with the Madisons was good for Rose as she began to regain some normality to her life after her abduction at the hands of Wade DeFarge. But the psychological trauma had been done, despite the potential the girl showed, she was prone to violence and at times, unstable. The physical trauma suffered had awoken her latent meta-gene which only further added to her instability.
By the age of sixteen, Rose had begun to show signs of improvement until she return home from school to find her foster parents had been brutally murdered. Dialing the police, Rose found a hand move over her mouth as she began to lose consciousness. Awakening hours later, she awoke to the face of her father who she had never hoped to see again. Informing Rose that her foster parents had been murdered by the latest man to hold the mantle of the Ravager, Slade offered to try the girl so that she could take vengeance for herself. As tears of rage and frustration stung against her cheeks, Rose accepted and began her training under Deathstroke the Terminator.
Slade subjected Rose to a rigorous training regime, injecting her with a serum known as Mirakulu, the same serum which granted him his own abilities. In conjunction with her meta-human abilities, Rose became a formidable opponent in a short period of time and within six months was hunting the current Ravager. An anonymous source pointed the pair towards Hub City, and so the two left New York and followed the Ravager’s trail.
Allowing Rose to take the lead, Slade watched with pride as his daughter hunted her target. Using everything he had taught her, Rose controlled the situation. The Ravager didn’t go anywhere she didn’t want him to and eventually Rose cornered her foster parents’ murderer at an abandoned warehouse on the Hub City docks.
Wounding her target with a well placed sniper shot to either leg, Rose descended from the rafters of the warehouse and unmasked the man before her. While she didn’t recognize the face, Slade knew it well. The Ravager was none other than his eldest son, Grant Wilson. Although Slade faltered to give the kill order, Rose took no mercy on her half brother and drove her blade through his heart before beheading the dead body.
In that moment, Rose became the third Ravager.

E V E R Y R O S E H A S I T S T H O R N S
Rose would continue to train under Slade, operating as the Ravager to his Deathstroke. Carrying out contracts at his behest, Slade did his best to keep Rose distracted while he tried to piece together who exactly would have Grant attempt to kill Rose. Leaving Rose to her own devices at his New York City safehouse under the watchful eye of Wintergreen, Slade chartered a course to Nanda Parbat where he encountered a resurrected Nyssa al Ghul. Nyssa had hired Grant in order to push Slade to train Rose and Slade had performed adequately, training Rose to surpass her half-brother.
Warning Nyssa not to interfere in his business again, Slade left Nanda Parbat and returned to New York where he resumed training Rose. The pair continue to carry out contracts together and Slade gives Rose her first solo mission when a contact from his pasts reaches out to Slade to request protection. Assigned to the side of Doctor David Isherwood, Rose grows fond of the doctor, harbouring a crush on the older man while learning the complicated history between Isherwood, or ‘Ish’ and her father.
Ish was the man behind much of Deathstroke’s equipment and for a short while, a hero in his own right until he was forced out of it. Seeing something in Rose that he hadn’t seen in Slade in since his divorce from his first wife, Ish begins to impart values of heroism into Rose unbeknownst to Slade. Realizing Ish was slowly turning his daughter against him, Slade ordered Ish to install a Kryptonite lens over Rose’s ‘blind’ eye and create her a suit akin to his ‘Ikon’ suit in order to fulfill a contract against Metropolis’ Superman.
Horrified, Ish carries out his orders for fear of Deathstroke’s wrath as he prepares Rose to kill the Man of Steel. But despite Deathstroke’s plans, Ish is able to use Superman’s concern for the safety of not only the bystanders to their conflict, but Rose, herself, as a final lesson on altruism.
Infuriated that Ish’s actions had botched their contract, Deathstroke turned on his old acquaintance only for Ish to play one final card, Pleading with Rose for aid, Ish reveals that the Kryptonite lens implanted over her eye is not only a danger to Superman and other Kryptonians, but is also carcinogenic and lethal to humans. Enraged and heartbroken that her father would endanger her life so dismissively and emboldened by Ish’s tutelage, Rose broke all ties with her father and ran away.

W H O R U N S T H E W O R L D ?
Striking out on her own, Rose spent the rest of her teenage years making a name for herself. Acting a something of a rougher hero, Rose began to do the only kind of work she knew how to do.
Taking assassination contracts.
But working under the principles instilled in her by Isherwood, Rose acted as a counter-assassin. Protecting those who the hits were put out on. She became a watchful guardian, a silent protector. Occasionally her looser morals were on exhibit as she blackmailed though she protected for compensation, but for the most part, Rose was making a change. Encountering the odd hero, Rose often butted heads due to her use of lethal force, though she would often relent while working with others.
As her network on contacts grew, Rose was the first choice to take on missions that were often swept under the rug due to not being in the public eye. Missions that other heroes were afraid to get into, Rose wasn’t afraid to dive into the seediest underworlds in order to complete a mission.
It was her penchant for this that eventually brought her into direct conflict with her father as Rose ended up on the opposite side of a mission against her father. After a long and bloody conflict, Rose managed to gain the upper hand against Deathstroke and when the opportunity presented itself, Rose did something that Deathstroke never anticipated she would.
She took the kill shot.
Killing Deathstroke brought a form of closure to Rose. There was serenity in knowing he would never be able to hurt her again. Departing the United States, Rose spent numerous years in South America engaging in guerilla warfare against the local cartels before moving abroad and chasing down human trafficking rings through Europe. After several years, Rose finally returned to her first home, Gotham City.
Despite how young Rose had been when she left Gotham, she still remembered the city, the smells and most of all the Batman. It had after all been the Batman who made it possible for her father to rescue her from the Ravager nearly eleven years ago. Abandoning the Ravager mantle, Rose contacted Isherwood to request something special for herself. Donning the new costume, Rose took the skyline of Gotham’s own Burnside. Dubbed the ‘Batgirl’ by the media, Rose now protects Gotham on her terms.

▼ A T T R I B U T E S:
"What's a girl gotta do to get in a proper brawl around here?"
// ABILITIES:
// SKILLS:
// WEAKNESSES:
// CHARACTER EVOLUTION:
◼ ENHANCED MENTAL CAPACITIES | Rose inherited her father's metagene, an "unlocked mind." Unlike Deathstroke, Rose's mind takes in large amounts of information and condenses it all into a probability assessment with a margin of error that she perceives as a vision. She then takes steps to keep her vision from coming to pass. Her powers also occasionally trigger in her sleep.
As part of her enhanced mental capacities, Rose has latent psionic tendencies and is able to communicate telepathically with those she bonds with. Furthermore, this grants her immunity to having her mind invaded or controlled by other telepaths and in particular her brother Joseph.
◼ PRECOGNITION | Rose's powers include limited precognition. She is sometimes able to use her precognitive abilities to 'see' her opponent's next moves, mainly when her adrenaline is running. Rose is sometimes able to use her precognitive abilities to "see" her own immediate future, although her visions come and go. These precognitive abilities may blossom into much more in the future.
◼ POWER DAMPENING | Rose's metagene causes her to dampen and reduce the effectiveness of another metahuman's abilities. In particular, this talent seems to specifically target metahumans which possess invulnerability allowing Rose to be able to deliver attacks and indeed wound those who normally would not be felled by conventional weapons.
◼ ENHANCED ATTRIBUTES | Through her father's genetics, Rose inherited the effects of the serum administered to her father, Slade Wilson. This essentially turned her into a super soldier. Her strength, speed, reflexes, durability, healing, etc. all surpass peak human levels. Rose is able to run at speeds of up to thirty miles per hours and long distances far out-performing any Olympic athlete. She possesses a similar strength increase as her father; she can press approximately eleven hundred pounds - ten times her own body weight. Likewise, her reflexes, agility, and senses are well above those of human levels making Rose essentially a living weapon much like her father was. Lastly, Rose possesses an accelerated healing factor, allowing her to survive near-fatal injuries, however, it does not allow her to fully recover from some wounds. This can be seen in her 'blind' eye, nor would Rose be able to regenerate a lost limb.

// SKILLS:
◼ UNARMED COMBAT | Rose is a skilled martial arts expert, having trained under her mother from a young age and both Deathstroke and Nightwing later on. With enhanced agility, speed, strength and endurance thanks to her inherited abilities from Deathstroke, the combination of precognition and a superhuman body leaves Rose a force to be reckoned with.
◼ WEAPONS MASTER | Rose is very skilled in the use of her arsenal of weapons. Her default weapons are a pair of energy swords originally designed for her by David Isherwood. Capable of cutting through most inorganic materials, the blades are designed to pass through organic materials, administering a shock instead of lacerations. Aside from these weapons, Rose wields conventional swords, various firearms - armed with non-lethal rounds at the behest of Batman, however she's a crack shot capable of taking down targets with live ammunition without killing them, and lastly a bo-staff on rare occasions. However, Rose is a pragmatist at heart and it seems to matter little what weapon she is given as chances are that she'll be able to use it.
◼ WEAPONS MASTER | Rose is very skilled in the use of her arsenal of weapons. Her default weapons are a pair of energy swords originally designed for her by David Isherwood. Capable of cutting through most inorganic materials, the blades are designed to pass through organic materials, administering a shock instead of lacerations.

// WEAKNESSES:
◼ AMBUSH | Rose's enhanced mental abilities can only calculate the probability of that which she can see. While she may be able to detect a trap and calculate the best way to avoid it, an unseen opponent or a straight ambush will catch her unaware, requiring her to catch up before she can use her abilities effectively. As such, she won't be able to immediately counter attack, leaving her open to injury if not death.
◼ HUMANITY | Despite being a metahuman with notable enhancements, Rose is still as fragile as a normal human. While this is compensated for via her armor, Rose stills needs to breathe air, eat food and rest. Caught off-guard and unprotected, it would potentially only take a single bullet to the head to kill Rose as a fatal wound is something even she can't recover from.
◼ MENTAL PROGRAMMING | Originally, Slade sought to control his daughter, and inflicted mental programming upon her, allowing him to manipulate and control his daughter with selective keywords. While several of the world's best experts have done their best to remove this mental programming, most of it remains due to Rose's immunity to telepathic invasion. As a closed off person, it is difficult for her to willing open her mind to the invasion required to remove the programming, thus there are keywords which exist that can cause Rose to turn on her allies or even fall unconscious.
◼ TEMPERAMENT | Rose's brash and often impulsive temperment can often times get the better of her. While she tries to be the master strategist and level headed commander her father was, even in her twenties, Rose has a lot of emotional baggage to work out making her often a volatile hothead.

// CHARACTER EVOLUTION:
◼ FULL PRECOGNITION | One of my ideas for Rose's character evolution is that her abilities continue to grow with her. Eventually, I'd like to be able to have her precognition blossom into a much more active ability, allowing her to see the future and almost act as a prophet for any potential team or ally, angling them into a more proactive position rather than the currently reactive position most heroes have against crime.
◼ TELEPATHY | Another ability I'd like to be able to have Rose develop is that of telepathy. I've laid the seeds, but I would love to see her eventually come into her own command of her psionic abilities, starting with full telepathy. With this ability, and my desire to see her lead a team of her own, she'd be able to make an excellent field coordinator.
◼ LIMITED TELEKINESIS | An extension of her developing psionics, I thought Rose could benefit from limited telekinesis down the road, if for nothing more than to make her already impressive combat prowess a bit more 'showy' and add some variety to how exactly she can use weaponry.
◼ TEAM RELATIONSHIPS | An initially closed off person, Rose has dealt with a lot of betrayal over her life and expects the people who come into it to soon live once they've gotten whatever it is they were after. For this reason, I'd like to see Rose develop relationships with the team, primarily friendship though if the chemistry is there, potentially romantic.
◼ LEADERSHIP ROLES | Adding to her relationships, I'd like to see Rose grow to the point where the team trusts her enough to follow her instincts and instructions. I'd like to see Rose lead in the field, and direct a team on various missions in combat.
◼ A SENSE OF FAMILY | The ultimate culmination of her building of relationships, I'd like for Rose to finally have a family. People she looks up to, can go to for advice and who will just be there for her through the good and the bad.
◼ LOSS, LOVE AND A LONGING TOWARDS THE FUTURE | Over the course of the RP, I am looking for Rose to grow emotionally, dealing with loss, whether it be teammates, friends or something else that she values, to love and its struggles and eventually to Rose growing into her own, shedding her father's shadow and perhaps becoming someone, or something else.

◼ THE BATGIRL OF BURNSIDE | There's a new hero in town and the media have dubbed her Batgirl. Stepping on the toes of other established heroes, Rose Wilson has decided to take a piece of the Gotham pie for herself, Batman and Batwoman be damned. She's a new breed of firmer, harder hero and she's here to dish out some vigilante justice the criminals of Gotham won't soon walk off.
◼ BATGIRL: WANTED | When a notorious crimelord is found dead, all clues point to the Batgirl. But she's innocent, she swears (No really, have you heard this girl speak? She swears alright). It's up to Rose and any friends she has left to prove her innocent and bring the real killer to justice.
◼ CAN'T TAKE A HIT | Burnside is awash in drugs, the latest of which seems to be a cocktail of Gotham's favourites. A mix of Joker's Giddy Laughing Gas, Scarecrow's Thrill and Bane's Venom has the population hopped up on a high they aren't ever coming down from. How's Batgirl supposed to get some answers if no one can feel their face?

◼ DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR | Deathstroke, aka Slade Wilson is Rose's biological father. A mercenary by trade, he makes the list of the 'Years Worst Fathers' for about twenty five years running. He was either absent most of Rose's life or manipulating her into carrying out plans for his own agenda. Last Rose saw of him was when she put a bullet in his skull. Status: Presumed Dead.
◼ NYSSA AL GHUL | Nyssa al Ghul, or Nyssa Raakto, or Lillian Worth, is the youngest daughter of Ra's al Ghul and the half sister of Talia al Ghul. When Talia was unable to secure the Batman as a husband nor produce a worthy heir to the Demon's Head, Nyssa sought out an equal in the form of Slade Wilson. Unfortunately, her jealous sister tried to have her murdered causing her to flee Nanda Parbat and live in exile until her death in Gotham City. As Deathstroke knows, and took to his grave, Nyssa however is alive and well, living once again in Nanda Parbat. Status: Alive, but Presumed Dead.
◼ DAVID ISHERWOOD | Doctor David Isherwood, or Ish, was once the Superhero known as Ikon. Using technology to replicate superpowers, his secrets were uncovered by Deathstroke leading to Ish being blackmailed into creating weapons and equipment for the Terminator. He was eventually put in the protective custody of Rose whom he was able to instill the values of heroism into leading to his release from Deathstroke's service. Now Ish helps the superhero community and more specifically Rose. Status: Alive.
◼ WILLIAM WINTERGREEN | William Randolph Wintergreen, more commonly referred to as simply Wintergreen is Deathstroke's oldest friend and sadly the closest thing Rose ever had to a father. Wintergreen organized and maintained Deathstroke's contacts and contracts for the mercenary and hasn't been seen since Deathstroke's apparent death. Status: Presumed Alive.
◼ HOSUN | Hosun is a skilled hacker and technical wunderkind whose services are enlisted by Batgirl. While he is oblivious to Batgirl's true identity, Hosun is more than happy to work as her 'Dude in the Chair' due to a major infatuation with Gotham's newest vigilante.

◼ BATSUIT | For the time being, this is the best visual representation of Rose's Batsuit. However I do picture it using the cape from this one and a cowl more based on this design. In terms of colours, I see Rose's Batsuit has having orange instead of yellow and being a combination of black and navy blue instead of the grays that the Batfamily are usually fond of.
◼ BURNSIDE | A recently re-developed borough in Gotham City, Burnside was originally named Robbinsville before the events of 2011 left the area consumed in fire. While the borough is still officially known as Robbinsville, the name Burnside has caught on and is the local colloquialism when referring to the borough.
Known for attracting Gotham’s young adults, Burnside is an upbeat and lively neighborhood not unlike San Francisco’s Castro District or Hell’s Kitchen of New York City. The influx of youth however has brought along numerous recreational drugs causing Gotham’s scum to follow and peddle their wares. The increase of trafficking in Burnside has directly correlated with the growth of violent crime in recent years and the borough has devolved into its own special hive of scum and villainy.
◼ SAILING | Rose enjoys sailing as a hobby, she finds it relaxing and enjoys how being on the water constantly keeps her in motion.

Tuesday, October 30ST - 10:33 PM | Miramundo Rainforest - Chalatenango
The forest was eerily quiet. All that could be heard was the rumble of the convoy making its way slowly down the overgrown roads. The sobs of several women hung in the back, a particularly loud cry was cut off by a yelp, the echo of flesh on flesh rang out through the mist-laden forest. Normally, they would be free to travel the roads, but recently a she-devil, a costumed bruja had been cutting into their shipments. Just last week, three convoys were stopped, their contents escaped and returned back to their families and loved ones in the United States. Normally the capes didn't bother with the operations of the Jaguar, but for some reason, somehow they had caught the eye of this one.
Extinguishing a cigarette on the dashboard of the truck, the driver sat back in his seat attempting to relax before he shot up straight as a board. His foot slammed the brakes to the floor, the convoy skidding to a stop while the truck behind was forced to swerve to avoid rear-ending the first. Shrieks came from the back of both vehicles as the women inside were tossed around by the sudden jerking movement. Before the driver could even undo his seat-belt, the butt of a rifle was tapping on his window before the door was angrily hauled open.
"Why de 'ell did you stop!" The dark skinned man yelled at him as the driver meekly pointed towards a large tree felled across the road. Swatting a mosquito that had landed on his neck, the other man's lip curled up in disgust before he put his hand to his mouth and whistled.
"Alright, get de saws." He ordered, two other men climbing out of the back of the truck while he circled behind it. The assault rifle in his hands pointing from woman to woman as he shone the tactical flashlight into the back, a clear warning to those inside. Anyone attempting to escape would be killed, or worse.
The silence of the night was quickly broken by the roar of chainsaws as the two men powered up the tools and approached the tree. Bending down to begin at the stump, one of the men stumbled backwards in surprise, noticing the fresh cuts to the trunk, the tree hadn't been felled by natural means. Turning to call to the others, barely a word made it out of his mouth before the blade of energy sword burst through his chest. Live current running through his body as he slumped to the ground unconscious.
Unable to hear the struggle of his companion over the sound of his own saw, the other man didn't even notice the woman dressed in black and orange as she raised a gun towards him and fired the tranquilizer dark without even looking. Dropping to the ground, the saw disengaged as the other man joined his partner in a very deep slumber.
Noticing the sudden lack of noise, the leader of the group poked his head out from behind the truck before he called towards the first driver.
"Is it too much to hope, de idiots already cleared de tree." He spat venomously. Firing into the air to give off a warning, he walked forward. "This isa de night you die bruja."
A soft thud could be heard from behind the man, catching him off guard as the woman spoke.
"I don't fuckin' think so." The man was blown off his feet as the woman raised her gun, firing a single rocksalt round into his chest from a special modification. Watching his boss fly to the ground, the driver turned to run while the other men quickly climbed out the truck, scrambling for their weapons.
Rose Wilson, the Ravager.
Formerly a Teen Titan, forever damned to be the daughter of Deathstroke the Terminator. Rose had left the rooftops of Gotham, Metropolis and San Francisco behind for this. The feeling of being alive, the feeling of for one time, doing something right with her life. She was the hero of the down trodden and the scourge of the underworld and there was nothing in her that could bring her to deny that she loved every moment of it.
The night was illuminated by gunfire as assault weapons rang out but the girl was never where she had been when her assailants pulled the trigger. The steady hum of the energy swords gave away her position with each swing while she closed in, the blades cutting through the guns as though she was running her finger though a pool of water. It was easy, and it graceful.
And it was over far too quickly.
An adrenaline junkie at heart, Rose's chest pounded up and down, her bosom swelling with each breath she took, standing in victory over the pile of broken men. With a quick twirl of the swords, she deactivate the blades and returned the hilts to the back of her waist, drawing one of the conventional swords off her back as she approached the now stirring leader.
"Please, please call me a bitch like it's a bad thing." Rose said, reaching down and grabbing the dark skinned man before holding him up by his throat against the door of the convoy truck. "Who are you working for?"
"F-f-fuck..." He choked before spitting blood. "You!" Flinching, the blood laden saliva landed on her mask. Driving her sword through the man's shoulder, Rose listened in satisfaction to the shattering of glass as it told her the blade gone through. Cries of agony filled the night sky, the man pinned on the blade struggling with no avail.
"Same question as before, and I'd answer it this time." Rose stated, twisting the hilt of the blade.
"S-same answer." The man managed to reply, smiling wide, his teeth stained red. Growling, Rose pulled back the sword as she dropped the man to the ground. He stumbled while he fought to regain his footing only for the blade to swing. He barely felt a thing until the subtle 'THUD' of his hand hitting the ground causing him to look towards the bleeding stump on the end of his arm. Cold metal was suddenly pressed against his groin as Rose slammed him against the truck again, this time with a hand around his throat and her gun pressed to his manhood.
"You seem to like thinking with this, perhaps it knows the answer." Rose's smile was filled with anything but mirth as she spoke. The man tried to squirm but her strength held him firmly in place.
"The J-jaguar. We work for the Jaguar."
"Then I hope the Jaguar knows he's a dead man." Rose replied tossing the man back to the ground, his shirt tearing off. The muzzle of her gun lit up twice, the shots ringing out through the jungle as she placed a bullet in either of his knees. "Thirty mile walk back to town. I hope it was worth it." She spat tossing the shredded shirt back to the man. "And I'd wrap that quickly, don't want you to bleed out." She added, sheathing her weapons.
A light illuminated the jungle floor as a VTOL plane descended upon the scene. Opening the back of the trucks, Rose motioned for the captured women to exit while the plane lowered a platform to the ground. Dozens of thank you's and other blessings were whispered towards Rose as the battered prisoners ran to the platform. Giving the all clear, Rose watched the platform rise into the sky before the plane turned back towards the United States. Walking away from the scene, Rose haphazardly tossed a grenade over her shoulder as the trucks exploded moments later. The heat of the explosion warmed her back while Rose triumphantly walked away from the scene before muttering to herself.
"Always wanted to do that."
