domino/red hood bounty hunting
Who: Domino and Red Hood
Where: Russian safe house in Gotham
When: Recently
What: bounty hunting
Warnings: violence, swearing :3
Okay, to be fair, these Russian mob types had pretty great taste in music. Since the Straight Outta Compton movie was released, Ice Cube and Dr Dre were all they wanted to listen to on repeat. They'd sit in their safehouse playing cards or video games, collectively bopping their heads along to "Boyz-n-the-Hood" and whatever other thrift store NWA album they could find. There were five of them tonight, all in arms reach of guns, cigars and booze. All itching to be the guy. Be the guy who made the most money. Be the guy who killed the Red Hood. Be The Guy.
Domino was used to that macho shit and to this day she still found it pretty amusing. Men liked to be dangerous, to bark like dogs and that made it easy to predict what they were going to do. Luck was never, ever on their side when Domino was around. And, okay, she would never be directly hired by any of the Russians (she could hear them now: "Who's this asian pussy?") but she could easily get the bounty on Mr. Red Hood once he was done beating the crap out of these boys.
Without an official invite, she kept an eye on the safe house from a small distance. Stealth and the cast of the die on her side meant they never noticed her when she watched across from the building with her sniper rifle. Skill and patience meant she'd have success as long as Hood showed up. She had been watching the safe house for about a week, listening to the inane conversations through bugs she had planted when no one was home. The song changed to "It Was a Good Day" and Domino couldn't help but think it was a sign.
She thought about kissing her little brother Lazarus on the forehead goodnight. She thought about the kids at the Xavier mansion she protected. And then she thought about how much money she could bring back to all of them by delivering Red Hood's shiny dome. She smiled and mouthed along Then we played bones, and I'm yellin domino.
