Black Canary
No...no way...
It hurt too much to be happening. Dinah tried to tell herself that, every time this leering fratboy hit her - over, and over, and over again. Why am I missing, she thought numbly, and only then did she realize...there, there must have been something on his friend's knife - something that got into that niggling cut on her hip, something that tightened the muscles in her throat until she couldn't use her Canary Cry. She coughed as he slugged her in the belly, doubling her over and then shoving her roughly into the garbage cans. She couldn't even catch herself. All her reflexes, too slow, shutting down...can't be happening, I'm, I'm dreaming...
She'd just barely righted herself when his next punch scattered stars across her vision. "Uuh!" The blow spun her, and her hair flew in sweaty tangles around her face. Dinah stumbled across the alley floor, the night spinning around her in a dark haze. She dimly heard him make some cheap comment, knew something was coming, but couldn't open her eyes - and his sneaker caught her on the chin with a crack, and her legs just, just wouldn't work anymore, turned to rubber right under her...
And Dinah fell.
Her knees hit the alley pavement, and her arms betrayed her next, dropping uselessly to her sides. Her legs lewdly splayed as she drifted, punch-drunk, fishnets tearing on the concrete. Barely conscious, lost in fatigue, Dinah couldn't do anything but moan, and pant, and despair, as the hood cupped her chin and turned her head up to stare into his smug grin. "Heh, nothin' too special about the Black Canary," he said, bringing his fist back for the punch that was going to make his street cred for life. "Hope ya put up a better fight at my place later..."
