Dark Angel

CHAPTER ONE: DARK ANGEL

BATMAN watched the dark silhouetted figure pace through the strongroom examining its contents with care.
From the graceful movement it was obviously a woman and one who knew exactly what she was looking for.
Finally she stopped in front of one particular cabinet and with effortless ease prised open the lid.
She reached inside and pulled out a box holding it up to her eyes.
The Dark Knight could see her nodding appreciatively as she read the label and almost sense the smile of satisfaction on her face.
He moved silently between the desks littered with various scientific equipment keeping his eyes on the female intruder's back.
As he drew closer he could just make out a mane of long blonde hair cascading down her back.
The Caped Crusader drew himself up to his full height and flicked on his torch.
The woman let out a gasp and wheeled round to face him.
Batman almost dropped his torch in shock as his eyes took in the young beautiful face and piercing blue eyes.
"Kara?" he said disbelievingly.
The girl smiled coyly at him.
"Hi Bats," replied Supergirl. "Didn't expect to see you here."
"Nor you," he said taking in her shapely form. Instead of her usual costume she was dressed in all black with knee-high leather boots trimmed with gold, a short, tight skirt and a clinging top which accentuated her bosom and lithe shoulders.
She grinned at him as she placed the box on the table beside her and fluttered her eyelids at him.
"Just stocking up," she said.
Batman scanned the words emblazoned across the lead-lined canister.
"But that's..."
"Oh I know what it is," she said cutting him short. "Which is exactly why I want it."
She paused for a second as though thinking and then added: "And why I'm afraid I can't allow you to tell anyone that I've got it. You really should have left well alone Bats."
Supergirl stepped forward and in one lightning fast move hammered her fist into Batman's abdomen.
The crimefighter crumpled under the force of the blow and Kara grabbed hold of his shoulders before bringing her knee up into his face.
Batman was strong but he was no match for her superhuman abilities. As she let go of him he collapsed to the floor on all fours as though he had been hit by a truck.
"Tsk Batman," chided Kara. "You're getting careless in your old age."
She flexed one leg and rested her knee on his shoulder blade and then pressed down.
Batman's arms gave way as though they were made of putty and his face hit the floor.
"Easy peasey," she crowed stepping to one side and aiming a kick into his midriff.
Her boot sank deep into his muscle and he rolled onto his back groaning.
Supergirl placed her feet either side of him, stretched her body arrogantly and ran her hands over her bosom and down across her skirt.
"So, so easy," she said as she lowered herself onto his chest.
"This really wasn't part of the plan just yet Bats. I was saving you for later. But never mind. I have a feeling it could work better this way."
Her hand slid on to his throat and she flexed her fingers around it.
"Gggggggggggghhhhhhhh," choked Batman as she constricted his windpipe.
His body bucked but she clenched her legs to hold him firm as she choked the breath out of him.
Within seconds his eyes closed and he sank into unconsciousness.
Kara smiled serenely as she sat on his chest admiring her handiwork.
