Awakening 3

Description

Ms. Kent had been walking home from work when she saw three strangely costumed people headed her way, their eyes fixed on her. There was an unnerving quality about them, and Ms. Kent decided to turn around and find a different route home.  She quickened her pace a little, then heard them call out a name she didn't recognize. She quickened her pace again.

"Hey, Kent!" called out a very unfriendly man voice, "Real clever name! Stop for a minute, we need to chat!"

Despite herself, Ms. Kent looked back.

"Please Chryseis!" implored a striking young woman in a flattering bikini and cape combination, "We just want to talk!"

The Sentinels had decided to approach her directly to see if Spellbound was correct and she really didn't remember any of them. In the event things went south, only  Spellbound, Red Empress, and Slugger would confront her directly. The other Sentinels were hidden nearby, ready to spring at a moment's notice should the need arise.

When she first looked back, 'Ms. Kent's' expression was exactly what they would have expected from someone who had never heard of them: blank confusion. But as she stared at them for a moment, something changed. Her eyes widened for a moment and she opened her mouth to speak, then her face contorted in abject terror and she started running as fast as she could!

"Shit!" growled Slugger as they gave chase, "We spooked her!"

"Everyone!" Spellbound said into her comm-link, "Chryseis is on the move! She's headed for a section of rundown back alleys! Wire, I think you're the closest to her!"

The other Sentinels acknowledged and began converging on the panic stricken librarian.

"Get away!" she shouted back at her pursuers, "Leave me alone!"

"Guardian!" Slugger shouted into his comm-link, "You sure all the civilians were cleared out of the area?"

"Yes," came his reply.

"Good!" Slugger said, "'Cause I think she recognized us! When we catch her, we end her!"

"No!" shouted Spellbound in dismay.

Guardian replied, "Kurt! We agreed not to-"

"She recognized us! That means Spellbound was wrong! AA hasn't gone all psycho on us yet, but we need to make sure she never gets the chance! When I catch her, I'm snapping her damned neck!"

"You can't do that!" pleaded Spellbound.

"Watch me!" spat back Sluggeras he split off from the others and went down a different alley.

"Wire!" Spellbound called into her mic.

"I heard!" he replied.

"You have to get to Chryseis before Kurt does!"

"I know!"

Panic began to rise in Spellbound's chest. This was all going horribly, horribly wrong!

The chase is on! Will Spellbound and Wire be able to save Chryseis from the wrath of their teammates? Or is the Amazon Arrow's story going to come to a bloody end in a desolate back alley in Racks View?

This is the third installment of the collaboration between myself and :iconamazonarrow:. Be sure to check her page to catch up on what's been happening!
