Chapter 22: Ch.21
[Stephanie Pov]
"Hey Tim, I'm going to go check and see if Will is good. I don't know if the cops are gonna show up or not. If they do, I'm worried he won't go quietly." Stephanie said.
Tim pinched his nose, "ugh I'd go too but I have to get to class on the other side of campus. I swear this dude is like one of the most unstable people I know. He's funny, but a complete idiot." He said.
"Yeah, I'm with you on that he's completely off his rocker. I don't remember him ever really being this crazy before, but ever since he punched that rapist man. He's been acting different." Stephanie replied.
"Anyways, see you after school Steph." Tim said, smiling as he walked off to class.
Stephanie quickly walked out to the office and waited around for Will to come out. Then she heard a laugh that made her instantly uncomfortable.
"Ugh it's him, this isn't going to end well." She thought to herself.
"Well, Well, Well boys, look at who we have here. Stephanie Brown in the flesh." Said the tall boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes clad in a football jacket over the school uniform. He was followed by three cronies also sporting the same matching jackets.
"Fuck off Alex, can you just leave me alone we've been broken up for like a year now." She said coldly.
"Ooooh, so first you kill my baby, and then you run off with the rich boy." Alex said in a mocking tone.
"Leave me alone. It's not like that and you know it." She said, trying to shrug him off. She knew he was just trying to get under her skin, and she didn't know if she had totally gotten over the abortion she had when she first met Tim.
"Speaking of, where is Bruce Wayne's charity case anyways? Does he even know about your little situation down there." Alex said with a sadistic smirk.
"Yo Alex, chill out a bit man." Said a large African-American linebacker looking a bit uncomfortable.
The other two football players sort of just sat back in silence, just watching the interaction.
"Yes, actually he does now leave me alone or I swear I'm gonna hit you." Stephanie said, with a sad and embarrassed look on her face.
"Matter of fact, it prolly wasn't even my baby now that I think about it. Stephanie, which one of ours was it?" Alex asked, laughing.
A large Hispanic, and red haired football player, who were previously silent, started cracking up when he said that.
"Yo, he did not just say that." The red haired football player said and dapped up the Hispanic one.
Stephanie was on the verge of tears, she was so upset why did these guys have to come hassle her. She was finally starting to get over all that nonsense from her past. She only even really slept with Alex, why is he going around telling everybody she slept with the whole football team.
"Ayo Stephanie, are these guys giving you grief?" Said a voice coming from her left.
Then she saw a handsome heavily muscled young man, covered in blood with a pair of broken handcuffs dangling from his wrists, quickly walking towards her.
"I don't need your help Will." She said
"I know, but I just got expelled pretty much so it makes no difference to me if I put this asshole on ice or not." Will said calmly.
Fear flashed across Alex's face, but it quickly morphed into a cocky grin.
"Oh and what are you going to do, it's 4 against one. You're just some runt." Alex chided with his hands out
"Yo actually man we were on our way to class." Said the black one nervously as he started inching away.
"Uh yeah man, class is starting soon I've got to get going anyways." Said the large redhead.
"Yo Will, we don't claim that guy. I barely know him I just joined the team." Said the hispanic one with his hands raised like he wasn't trying to fight.
"Man y'all some bitches. I'll fight this kid." Alex said putting on a brave face.
Will just laughed at him and shrugged his shoulders. "Your funeral dude."
"Will leave him alone, he's an idiot. He's not worth it." Stephanie said nervously.
Then Stephanie watched on as Alex's face morphed into one of pure rage, and he did the dumbest thing he could possibly do in this situation. He charged at Will and threw a wide haymaker. She facepalmed as she watched Will dodge with a single step and punch him so hard in the solar plexus that he fell on the ground gasping for air. He tried to crawl away, and threw up a bit on the ground. "He must not have eaten much breakfast." Stephanie thought.
Will walked up, grabbed the collar of his letterman jacket and lifted his torso off the ground. Then he proceeded to slap him so hard that blood and teeth flew out of his mouth, and sprayed the concrete. Alex's face was red and swollen.
Will smiled, "You like talking shit with that mouth of yours huh? Let me make sure you can't use it for a while." He said laughing at Alex's pain. All of Alex's friends had already abandoned him and were nowhere to be seen.
Will proceeded to slap him 3 more times viciously, and blood flew everywhere. After the third slap, Alex's face was so swollen that she wouldn't be surprised if he had to eat and drink out of a straw for a while. Stephanie for the first time felt genuinely afraid of Will, something in him was changing and she wasn't sure it was for the better. At the same time though, she felt satisfied watching Alex be humiliated like that.
"Will, what the hell! Why did you hurt him so bad? He could press charges!" Stephanie exclaimed
Will just shrugged his shoulders, "Eh he deserved it. If he presses charges, let them come. I'll make sure anyone who comes for me regrets it." Will said nonchalantly and walked off leaving Stephanie feeling strange. She watched his back as he walked off, "Jesus, what is going on with you." She said under her breath.
[Will Pov]
Will walked away covered in blood, his uniform was useless to him now so he didn't even give a shit. He pulled out his phone and texted Bruce.
"Yo Bruce, I just pretty much got expelled. I'm going to the Iceberg Lounge to pick up my money from fighting Deadshot and them."
A few minutes later he got a response,"Good, I was worried about you being there since we don't totally know what the effects of the Wrath mark would have on your psyche and the effects of you breaking that chain. Make sure you put your earpiece in while there, I need to know what's going on over there." Bruce sent.
"Word." Will sent back and placed the earpiece in his ear. He proceeded to flit through the nice side of Gotham at high speeds on foot. He arrived at a busy area with massive skyscrapers, and large fancy apartment buildings. People walked too and fro from work carrying briefcases dressed in nice suits and dresses.
Will silently crept through the alleyways of the bustling city. He walked up to the side of the road and hailed a cab, "Ayo, Taxi!" He waved one down that stopped in front of him and held up a fist full of money.
"Aye kid, I'm not gonna ask where you're coming from looking like that. If you wanna ride in the cab it's gonna cost extra, blood doesn't come out of the seats easy." Said the cabbie
Will snorted, "Just take me to the Iceberg Lounge down in the Diamond District."
The man said sleazily, "Sheesh what a haul. That's gonna be at least a hundred bucks to get all the way down there."
Will just pulled out his wallet and handed him the money.
"Alright, now get moving." Will said.
"I got around 75 bands waiting for me at the lounge. This doesn't matter." Will thought to himself, but a hundred dollars for a ride in a cab was like a knife stabbing into his back.
