Nighttime had long since fallen over the city of Bellerouge, and Lilith was hunting...
Outwardly, however, the opposite appeared to be true. She was walking along one of the dirty, low-lit and dangerous streets of Garcon Perdu with a lost and vulnerable look on her pale face and she was being followed by three men watching her with hungry eyes.
For anyone else, this would have been an extremely bad situation to be in but the She-Demon was very pleased with how the evening was going so far. Despite having been in Bellerouge for less than two weeks, she had quickly been drawn to Garcon Perdu and the scent of evil and corruption that exuded from it. It seemed as if the vast majority of the city's vile, criminal element had condensed itself into the streets and blocks that make up the district.
And it was the perfect hunting ground for her.
In other sections of the city she might be hard pressed to feed well without being discovered, but in Garcon Perdu little things like assault, robbery and murder were commonplace. And it was a simple thing to lure prey into her clutches like the three men following her. She had gone into a seedy bar nearly an hour ago and presented herself as a 'solo tourist taking in the sites' to everyone present. She had spoken to the dirty bartender loudly about how she wasn't really familiar with the area and was having trouble finding her way back to her place, all while drinking large quantities of alcohol. And right after she had left the bar staggering, the three men had started to follow her. It was clear from the glint in their eyes and the beastly smiles on their faces that they planned on having 'some fun' with the pretty and drunk woman who had been stupid enough to wander into Garcon Perdu at night.
Yes, clearly they thought themselves the predators and she the prey, but soon they would learn it was just the opposite.....
At this point she turned down a dark and dingy alleyway as if she thought this might somehow take her back to her hotel. She could hear the panting of the men's breath and the drag of their feet as they followed her into the alley. And just as she had predicted from the start of that evening, they moved in on their supposed 'prey.'
"Hey lady, what you doing out on the streets this late at night? Don't you know this is when the monsters come out?"
The man's words were slurred and his two companions chuckled drunkenly at this, but Lilith merely kept her back to them for a moment while a brief smile flashed across her face. The time to feed was almost upon them and she would feed well tonight.
Slowly, she turned to look at the men, her purple eyes large and unfocused with a hint of fear. She clasped her hands in front of herself in a protective gesture as she took a hesitant step away from the approaching men. Yes, just a little closer and she would have them.
"Leave me alone!"
Yes, just a little closer......

"Hey!" A new voice sounded towards the direction of the men and lady. Kid Flash didn't bother to see if the men were surprised by the shout or by his outfit. All he knew was that the two were dangerous enough to hurt the frightened woman in front of him. He had seen people like this before, they didn't care who they were, they wanted to hurt others.
"The lady said to back off." He approached the men slowly, hopefully to make their eyes off the scared victim in front of them. "Or do we have to do this the hard way?"
He had never been a threatening person, or even dangerous but he had to at least look the part. Anything to cause their attention away. Either way, the two males were not going to get away with this. Not on his watch.

The man closest to her was sneering down at her, just about to take another step closer to her. He didn't seem to notice the sudden glint that came into her eyes in that moment, the look a predator might give before sinking its teeth into unsuspecting prey. Lilith could feel the hunger building in her and was just about to strike when suddenly a voice called out to the men, causing them to turn and look back towards the entrance of the alley.
Lilith felt a pulse of anger go through her frame as the man moved away from her at the sound of the voice. Her own violet eyes quickly landing on the source of the voice. It belonged to a young man with orange hair and green eyes. He was wearing some kind of red and yellow outfit that covered his features so that you couldn't tell who he was and he was slowly walking down the ally towards them all, his voice and posture displaying confidence.
Damn it. I was just about to enjoy my dinner and now this fool had to come along and play hero.
The dark thought passed through Lilith's mind silently but she kept up the pretense of the situation. Over the long years of her existence she had learned to adapt to new situations as they arose with a skill that was almost terrifying and now she did just that, turning to look at the young man with a pleading expression on her face.
"Please, help me!"

Wally turned his gaze away from the men to the pleading woman. If he hadn't been angry at the men before, he was now. Anyone who made a woman this scared deserved to be locked away or at least scared. "Well, sorry fellas, my hands are tied now. I can't very well turn down a request like that." he shrugged nonchanlantly before moving, knocking one of the guys off their feet. As far as armed, Wally couldn't very well tell if either of them were in fact holding weapons but that didn't matter.
Appearing in front of Lilith was much easier. At least the distance between attacker and victim was enough, Wally put his hand in front of him to hide Lilith from view. His gaze remained on the attacker, wondering if they would run or if they would move next. All that mattered was keeping their attention away from the scared female.

Lilith appeared as helpless and frightened as ever, but the ruse was starting to become bothersome. However, even her annoyance at this silly little boy trying to act hero was pushed aside for a moment when he suddenly appeared in front of her as one of the three assailants fell to the ground as if hit.
Her violet eyes widened ever so slightly and she appraised the young man with more interest. Either he had teleported over to stand in front of her or he was extremely fast. Given the state of the man on the ground, she thought the latter was more likely. Suddenly her appetite was gone, replaced instead with curiosity for this would-be rescuer. Such an ability could be quite useful to her.....
"Why don't you get out of our way before we slice up that face of yours?"
Clearly the two men weren't about to leave in a rush. They had ugly expressions on their faces and both had produced pocketknives from somewhere on their person. They didn't seem to notice or care about their unconscious friend, only about the man standing between them and the woman they wanted to get at.
However, with her appetite gone for the moment she had no need for these back alley rats to be present. Now they were just a distraction from the red-head standing in front of her. With this in mind, she moved back slightly from the disguised man and stared straight into the faces of the two men. Immediately, they froze in place as her beautiful face began to shift and transform.
Standing behind him, the red-haired rescuer saw nothing but the expressions on the men's faces were identical masks of pure horror as Lilith peered into their minds and showed them a glimpse of what she really was and the realm she called home. In that instant, both men's minds cracked under the fear and they turned one after the other before racing down the ally and back towards the street. They didn't even pause to help their comatose friend and merely left him lying on the dirty ground.
Lilith, however, was perfectly pleased and rearranged her face once more into a look of deep relief and thankfulness as she spoke to the young man who had thought to defend her.
"Oh, thank you so much, sir!"

Wally blinked in surprise. The men had seemed so forth about wanting to fight and or kill him, that he really wasn't expecting them to run away like a little girl. It also made him a bit angry, they should have had the guts to finish what they started, even if they would have ended up on the floor. Oh well, he would have to deal with them later.
Lowering his anger, Wally turned back to the woman, thankful that she was not injured at all. Maybe a bit scared but he could see that there was no injuries on her person. "You are quite welcome my dear woman," he gave a bow. "I couldn't very well leave a lady to face those hooligans."
He had never seen a woman with violet eyes and there was something bewitching about them. He could have started at them for hours. "Are you hurt at all?" he asked

Lilith shook her head at the young man's question but her eyes seemed overly-bright and it looked as if she were about to start crying. She allowed the smallest of shivers to run down in slender frame as she stood in front of him and acted the part of the victim.
"No, it's just.....if you hadn't come along and helped me, those men might have....might have...."
At this, she put her hands to her face and let out the smallest of sobs. However, at that moment her own powers were busily at work peering into the young man's mind and searching for an image. Immediately, one of another woman appeared and there was enough of a similarity between the two for Lilith to believe that the woman was his mother.
Slowly, subtly her own appearance shifted so that while she still appeared as a young woman with silvery hair and large violet eyes, on a deeper level she would remind the man of the woman in his thoughts.

Gloved hand clenched slightly at the fear in the woman's voice. He was going to find those men and make sure that they stayed locked up for good. Pushing his anger aside, he returned his gaze to the woman. There was something familiar about her. Almost like his mother. Despite the fact that the silver hair and purple eyes were nothing like his mother's. Something in her face made him want to talk to her more and it felt familiar.
"It's alright Miss, you're safe." he said speaking gently.
What else could one do in this situation? His green eyes filled with concern. No way was he going to let her walk alone in the street tonight after this. She probably wouldn't want to anyways. Smiling, he offered her his hand. "I can escort you home. You'll be safer that way."

Lilith could immediately sense that the masked man had fallen for her trick. Now she just had to keep up the act and if things went well, she might have another possible pawn by the time the night was over.
She slowly lowered her hands from her face and wiped false tears from her eyes, sniffing lightly before speaking to the young man in a quiet voice.
"Thank you. I think I would feel a lot safer with someone like you near."
At these words, she offered a tenative smile before reaching out and taking his offered hand. Immediately something like a shock passed between the two of them and most people would have written it off as nothing more then static. However, the She-Demon's powers were already at play, slowly wrapping around the young man and making Lilith harder to resist.

Wally's smile remained, there was something about this woman that made him want to protect her. Not just because she had been attacked either, but maybe it was because there was more to her. And that similiar feeling he had when his mom had been alived. Was this a way to make up for his past of not being quick enough to save her?
"It's a hero's job to protect the weak." he said proudly. "And i would never forgive myself if someone got hurt while under my watch."

"Oh thank you....."
Here Lilith paused and frowned slightly as if she had only just realized she didn't know his name. She offered a timid smile in that moment, but her mind was busy working away. This young man clearly had strong powers and the aura coming off of him made her mouth water. Oh how she would love to have a taste of his life.... but she would have to be patient a little longer.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what to call you."

Wally blinked. It was so strange to even think that she resembled his mother. She didn't look much like her but there was something in her attitude that made him feel that way. He smiled, glad to at least be thankful that he had saved her life for tonight. "The name's Kid Flash at your service milady." he bowed in a clumsy yet heroic style that he had seen many heroes do in comics before.

This boy thinks himself a hero. How very pathetic.
However, outwardly Lilith appeared as sweet and innocent as ever and gave a small giggle as if she found 'Kid Flash' amusing. She pushed a strand of her shockingly white hair back into place before stepping lightly up beside him.
"I was staying in a hotel only a few blocks from here. You shouldn't have to walk with me very far. I'm Eve."
As she said this, she let a coy look come across her features and batted her eyes at him. He was incredibly fast from what she had witnessed, but if he let her get close enough and touch him that wouldn't matter.

Eve. That was a very pretty name. It suited her. She almost looked kind of like the moon or a moon spirit. Wally couldn't help but feel that way, maybe it was just something in the air or maybe he was just glad that he saved her. "Oh, its no problem at all Ma'am. I want to be sure you are home safe after all." He held out his arm, for her to lean on. A gentleman move at best, he probably wouldn't have done so if she hadn't been so shaken up about it.
"Shall we?"

"Oh my. What a gentleman."
Lilith's tone was light and teasing in that moment as she stepped up next to Kid Flash and placed her own slender arm through his. It would have seemed like a sweet and harmless thing but something sharp glinted in the very depths of her eyes. The moment was fast approaching when she would make her move, but for now she was willing to play along.
Over the centuries that she had existed, Lilith had learned that you never acted on impulse and instead waited for when the opportunity presented itself. And some deep instinct told her that moment was nearly at hand.
She moved out of the dank alley and started down one of the sidewalks. There was indeed a hotel only a few blocks away and she led Kid Flash in that direction, watching and waiting for the moment to make her move.
"So tell me, is this something of a habit? You fighting off ruffians and protecting people?"
