Hours later Tori was finally ready to go which allowed Tyler to matter shift them both to the place that the limo was going to show up to. They both had already agreed that the place they were at was the less suspicious place to be picked up at. Even though they both knew that the driver probably won't ask questions since hes practically getting paid by the hour. If they did it wouldn't be much of a surprise if he met a foul end because of his curiosity over why they were at a supposedly abandoned building. The limo pulls up to the abandoned house where Tyler and Tori were waiting. The driver getting out in order to do his job by holding one of the back doors open for the two disguised purgers. Tori got in first and sat down on the plush leather seats of the limo. Enjoying the fact that she will be able to ride comfortably to the party since there was lots of leg room.

Though the skirt on her dress did take up the majority of the leg room because of how big it was. Despite that there was still quite a lot of leg room still left inside the back of the limo. Tyler got in after Tori, not as excited about riding comfortably just as much as she was. He was more focused on what may or may not happen at the masquerade gala. Every purger knew he was a party boy, but that was only when it came to purger parties. Gala events held by people of high society were a completely different story though. Both himself and Tori would have to act, walk, and talk a certain way. All in order to not give away that they were in fact not wealthy billionaires at the gala event to contribute to the charity. Glancing over at Tori he could see her slouching in her seat in an extremely unladylike way. Doing so as she plays a game on her phone to pass the time on the drive to the gala.

Tyler couldn't really scold her about the way she was sitting since they weren't at the gala yet. Meaning they could act any way they want to until the limo arrives at Wayne manor. As the limo pulls up to the manor Tyler decides to be a gentleman and gets out of the limo first. Helping Tori out of the limo and then offers his arm to her like most men would do at galas. Tori silently accepts his offered arm while slipping her phone into a hidden pocket on her dress as they walk up the concrete steps to the doors. Once there they gave their 'legitimately' obtained invitations to Alfred. Who had come outside when the limo had pulled up outside of the manor. Having given the original invitation taker the rest of the night off in the process. The old butler was skeptical of course since he had never seen such young billionaires aside from Bruce's wards. However he had no room to judge or question the two. Despite how extremely shady looking the mystery billionaires seemed to be.

All eyes immediately seemed to turn towards Tyler and Tori as they enter the room that the gala was being held in. Murmuring filled the room as the guests continued to look at the two purgers. They were mostly looking at Tori. The high society women murmuring to each other. Mostly about how flashy and over the top the short girl's dress was as they watch her walk by. Whilst the high society men murmured about how she was the sexist woman at the gala. And about how some of them would like to get at least fifteen minutes alone with her. Said girl just seemed to ignore the murmuring as she takes a glass of champagne from a server that was walking by. Sticking close to her 'date' for this gala since she could feel many men giving her a once over. Which grossed her out to a new level and that was saying something since she cuts open bodies for a living.

Tyler having had noticed that many of the men in the room were giving Tori the once over had began to glare at them all. Dark matter begins to come from his clenched fist out of rage towards all of the older men that were around them. He did not like the fact that these old perverts were eyeing her as if she was a piece of meat. Just because they feel like they have superiority due to being rich, people like that always made his blood boil with rage. Tori, noticing the dark matter, elbows him in the ribs in order to get his attention. Causing the dark matter to disappear quickly as he turns his attention to her. Both of them coming to stand in a somewhat secluded section of the gala that seemed to be far enough away from all of the perverted older men. Tori had pulled them over to this somewhat secluded area in order to have a quick conversation with Tyler. One without anyone listening in on what they were saying.

Not knowing a certain clone could hear everything they were saying since she was more focused on the man infront of her. Nor did they know that the only female darkness at the gala had sensed the sudden and brief activation of dark matter in the room. Though it was to quick for said female darkness to get a good read on it from her section of the gala. That didn't matter much because as long as Tyler kept his powers in check and left the temper tantrums and or emotional outbursts to Tori. Though that's hoping for to much since Tyler is just as much of a bipolar mess as she is, then everything should be fantastico. However things always don't go according to plan, and Tori had already learned that the hard way. Much to her disappointment when it came to her previous plan. The one that had led her to being here at this rich people party trying to keep her temper as well as Tyler's temper under control.

"No using your powers in public. No matter how annoying and perverted these high society men may be." Tori said as she lifts up her champagne glass with the intention to take a drink from it.

"Fine, but if they touch you in any way that I think is wrong then they are dead." Tyler said as he detached Tori's arm from his in order to cross his arms.

"You'll have to get in line for that. I get first dibs on killing any pervert who might touch me. No ifs ands or buts about it." Tori said as she finally takes a drink of the champagne only to spit it back out into the cup out of complete disgust.

"What's the matter, you look like you've just tried the most horrible thing in the world. Could it be that you don't like the taste of champagne?" Tyler asked with a smirk, chuckling at the disgusted look on Tori's face.

"The fuck is this shit? This isn't alcohol, this is just fucking watered down fizzy shit that's attempting to be alcohol but massively failing at it. Are these people fucking lightweights or something?" Tori asked, thinking it's absurd that rich people couldn't splurge for good alcohol. She then pours out the champagne from her cup into a nearby plant when nobody was looking.

"Well what did you expect from this kind of party? All rich people are pansies when it comes to drinking let alone handling strong alcohol. If Wayne actually gave them real alcohol at this type of party everyone would be passed out all over the fucking place by the time the party was over. Though that sounds like one heck of a party." Tyler said as he crosses his arms while leaning back against a nearby wall.

"I expect them to have the fucking balls to stomach real alcohol, like I said this shit is just fizzy flavored shit attempting to pass itself off as alcohol. Or atleast get some mad dog 20/20 for those of us who have an alcohol tolerance." Tori said as she sets her glass on a nearby table, crossing her arms slightly as she stands next to Tyler.

"Are you going to be bitter about the lack of good alcohol during the whole goddamn gala? Or are you going to go dance and atleast enjoy being out of the house?" Tyler asked as he turns his head towards Tori, raising a single eyebrow though it was not visible underneath his masquerade mask.

"Alright alright I'm going to go enjoy myself, just don't get into trouble while I'm gone. Don't make me tranquilize your ass." Tori said as she begins to walk deeper into the crowd of people.

"No promises, besides I should be the one who's telling you to stay out of trouble instead of you telling me to stay out of trouble." Tyler called after her. Not making a comment about her threatening to tranquilizing him as he watches Tori disappear into the massive crowd of masked people.

Hearing that made Tori roll her eyes playfully as she maneuvers her way through the crowd of people, pick pocketing a few of them in the process. She didn't come here just to have a good time dancing with random perverts who decide to approach her. Nor did she come here to just drink the shitty rich people equivalent of alcohol. She only took cash for the time being and would slip it into the bodice of her dress since the secret pockets on her dress already full. They had a few hidden weapons that were inside them along with her phone and she needed to get to those without cash getting in the way. Picking their pockets was easy since she was able to move quicker than any human eye could see. Which allowed her to take the money and then slip their wallets back into their proper place before anyone noticed that their wallet was gone for long. Not like they would realy notice it though.

They were all to busy acting like they were better than everyone whilst walking around with sticks shoved up their asses to notice something as minuscule as a missing wallet. Though the blonde speedster really was in no mood to test that theory at the moment. Especially if it meant she would end up getting caught. Tori had managed to accumulate a large sum of cash hidden in the top of her dress from just the small amount of pick pocketing she had done. All whilst she worked her way through to a certain teleporter's section of the gala as she still continued to pick peoples pockets. Though of course she was oblivious to the fact that he was here. After all she had never met Justin and had only ever heard stories about him and Jewels from Alec. Plus she can't be expected to spot her friends goody goody brother out of a crowd of mask wearing people. However those stories were not very nice since her friend did not speak highly of his siblings. In fact Alec labeled them as traitors and wished to never see them for as long as he lives. Which she completely understood since she took the same vow when it came to her brother Wally.

Tori knew how that felt since she felt like her older brother was Wally a traitor as well since he always seemed to be busy whenever she needed him. Though no one knew about him except for Tyler and she wanted to keep it that way. Besides, it would look bad for her status as a solo purger if anyone outside of her small group of friends knew that she was related to Kid Flash. She didn't know Wally was KF though, but if anyone did know and find out who she is it would cause them to think she may turn good. Which would cause other purgers to attempt to terminate her before she gives them away. Though that would never happen though. Her heart was to black and cold to let the possible outside influence of her traitor older brother change her life style. That is, if she ever happened to accidentally run into him sometime in the near future.

In fact no one would ever be able to get Tori to change her evil people murdering ways now. She was just having to much fun to even think about going back to her old sweet innocent good girl ways from when she was 16 and in high school. Nor her good ways from any other age she has been up until four years ago. Much to her pride she was considered one of the best solo purgers, even if she was a close second to Tyler. Tori wasn't going to let anyone stand in the way of that even if she has to cut off some old ties to make sure she stays the way she is right now. She planned on staying ontop for as long as she can. After all there is quite alot of pressure that comes withe being the only purger that wasn't born into this life. It would look bad for both her and Tyler if she began to crack under the massive amount of pressure that was on her. Pressure is not what Tori needs right now, she honestly was getting close to snapping and having a full out mental breakdown.

To some people that wouldn't be a bad thing though considering the fact that her job is very gory with massive amounts of death and drama. Tori can't risk that though, she needs to keep her mind intact in order to stay one step ahead of the League in order to keep herself out of their reach. So then she can go back to purging people without worrying about colorful costume wearing goody two shoes assholes coming after her in order to put her behind bars. Not like that could ever happen though cause she doubted that Tyler would stand by and let her get caught. Especially since she has quite alot of purger information in her brain that the League most likely wants to get their hands on.

That is, once they realize that Tori isn't the main source of the problem. After all she's not the only purger who is actively causing death and destruction all over the world in every known society. And she sure as hell won't be the last one causing all of this people murdering chaos either. What the League doesn't know won't kill them though, or it might. Sooner or later the blonde plans on eliminating every member of the Justice League one by one will begin. Starting with the strongest League members first though she'd need to acquire their weaknesses first, which was easier said than done. That wasn't going to stop her from trying. Though the fact that most of the League members weren't on earth did definitely throw a wrench into her plans when it came to getting rid of all of the strongest members first. Since she had no way of getting to them in order to carry out her plan when she is ready to do so.

On the other side of the gala in his section Conner had watched the woman in the red dress. Straining his hearing in order to hear her over the other gala guests in the room as she talked to the man that she had walked in with. He had heard every word she had said to the male that had come in with her as her escort. Knowing that this might be the girl they were looking for, though it was hard to tell from where he was standing since super hearing only got him so far.  Conner would have to report this to Justin though and he had no idea as to what they were supposed to do about the mysterious male that had arrived with her. So he automatically assumed that he was not a threat. Though his assumption could be wrong since for all they knew he could attempt to intervene with them trying to safely catch her without causing any bloodshed or unnecessary panic for the people here at the gala.

So with that thought in mind Conner lifts up his hand up to his com. Knowing if he wasted time with reporting this to Justin that the girl may leave the gala before they could get her. That would be the worst case scenario besides having her put people in this room in danger. Possibly by attempting to use the guests as leverage in order to run and get away from the team in order to plot yet another murder. Conner couldn't let either of those situations possibly happen. Since that would be him going against his promise to protect the innocent people of the world as a hero. Then he would most likely be labeled as an accomplice or possibly a mole in the team. The clone honestly didn't want to go through any of that since he knew it would cause the team to once again not trust each other which would effect how they work with each other.

Yes I updated yet again, I honestly think this chapter turned out pretty good despite the fact that it's mostly focused on Tori and Tyler alongside their conversation. Up above is both Tori's and Alison's dress despite the fact that Alison isn't mentioned all that much in this chapter other than when it is mentioned that she sensed the activation of dark matter. I just wanted to have both of their dresses side by side so you can see how flamboyant Tori's dress is compared to Alison's dress. But with that out of the way I hope you liked this update because I put lots of work into it, though I say that about pretty much every chapter that I have published for this book.

Anyways please vote and comment, your opinion is always welcome unless your a dickhead who reads through books and then corrects people on the grammar they used in their book. But that's just me ranting out of experience, and also at some point in time in the future I will have to take a break from updating in order to take exams for school. So hopefully I'll get the need to update this book out of my system before that happens though I highly doubt it since I am not the best at sticking to an updating schedule, or any schedule for that matter.

Those of you who have been my followers for a while know that this is true cause I can't update via a set schedule to save my life. Also I have been getting into the habit of listing the complete word count, which for this chapter is about 3,272 which is awesome when it comes to detail and length for this updated chapter. especially since it means I am about 272 words over the 3,000 word limit i have set for myself. Though knowing me I will most likely set yet another word goal for myself that is higher than 3,000 at some point in time. Anyways I'm done ranting now. Bye bye for now!
