The Song Bird had a decent crowd that night as Eddie sat back in his usual seat. A cigar wedged in his teeth as he leaned back at the empty table. A bottle of gin sat at the center while he nursed his drink.

Tonight was the first night Ruby was to perform since the incident. He knew that Benjamin, Harley and the staff of the lounge tried to convince her otherwise for recovery. But she was a stubborn redhead, feisty and fiery, he knew for a fact she wouldn’t listen to them. Especially with the new piece he had slid under her door. It was just her type of number, there was no way she would resist the music of that limelight.

The lights in the lounge rotated to the stage that was hidden with the pleated curtain. A slow beat pulsed through the speakers as the curtain began to raise. Ruby stood there, her hair half up in curls while the rest hung over her shoulder. Her dress was a different one tonight. A form fitting, floor length red dress with a slit up her leg. Black songbirds dotted up the front of her chest from the black sash. Her shoulders were bare minus a few small straps as she moved towards the microphone.

Her hand came up to the microphone as her crimson lips drew close, “Found you when your heart was broke…” Her voice carried through the lounge as she sang. “I filled your cup until it overflowed. Took it so far to keep you close. I was afraid to leave you on your own…” She stopped for a moment as the song built, closing her eyes and looking away from the crowd.

The microphone picked up her sharp intake of breath as she opened her eyes, locking them with Eddie’s, “I said I'd catch you if you fall. And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all. And then I got you off your knees. Put you right back on your feet. Just so you could take advantage of me.” Her voice held an air of pain as she sang.

Eddie couldn’t believe what he was hearing, this was not the song he had slid to her at all and he knew she was targeting him with it. He shook his head, breaking eye contact for a moment as his mind wandered back to their days of being Watchmen.

“Gave love 'bout a hundred tries…”

There they were standing outside of the publicity photo shoot, her hands at his face where Hooded Justice had broken his nose for catching him attempting to do something unspeakable. Ruby smiled at him as she dabbed the blood away. “You have to control yourself. The world isn’t your playground darlin’.”

“Just running from the demons in your mind…”

Ruby stood before the flashes of cameras as people asked her questions about the accusations that were being thrown towards the Comedian about the sexual assault of Silk Spectre as well as the murder of Hooded Justice in his home. “He didn’t do any of that stuff. I have thoroughly investigated both allegations and have found that the man responsible for both and apprehended him.” The Comedian stood behind her watching, shocked that she lied to the press to save him.

“Then I took yours and made 'em mine…”

“You lying bitch!” Silk Spectre yelled as she crossed the meeting room, her hand raised, bringing it hard across Ruby’s cheek. “How can you defend that monster!”

“He made mistakes, we all have.” Ruby brought her hand up to her stinging cheek. “You’ve done some questionable stuff yourself.”

“Not on his calibur.” Silk Spectre snarled as she looked back at her fellow Watchmen. Her eyes went to The Comedian who leaned against the wall, “brainwashed another didn’t you?”

Ruby shook her head as she bawled her fists at her side, “He didn’t brainwash me… I love him…”

“That’s even worse!” She spat back as she turned.

“I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind…”

“Ruby Heart, you have been found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct the justice you swore to uphold. How do you plead?” The head of the Watchmen’s council spoke.

Her head remained down as she spoke, “Guilty, Night Owl. I am guilty.”

Night Owl took a deep breath and shook his head, “then you have left me no choice. You are now stripped of your title as a Watchmen.” His eyes went to The Comedian who sat on the other side of the circular table that surrounded Ruby. “You must be very proud of this moment.” He said sarcastically as he turned his attention back to Ruby. “You are to leave your super suit and exit the facility immediately. Where a public lawman will escort you to Arkham.”

“Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there? Feeling so high but too far away to hold me.”

Eddie shook his head again coming back to the present as he grabbed his glass of gin and slammed it back. His mind clouded in the thoughts of her defending him over and over and he just wasted it all, didn’t care that this woman was there for him.

“Baby I'm the one who put you up there. I don’t know why…” Ruby’s held weight as she sang, the pain she was feeling laced her words. She turned from the microphone as the song began to fade, the curtain coming down as her own tears matched it.

I am A Good Girl...

(DC/Marvel Crossover Fic)

So, I am currently working on a multiverse crossover cuz why not... and here we go with the a small preview of the insanity. I do not own any of the characters other than my OC Ruby Heart.

Inspiration - I am a Good Girl from the movie Burlesque

All characters in this fan fiction are over the age of 21 years old.

The Comedian X Female OC

Word Count:2433

Ruby couldn’t believe that she got fired from the diner a few days ago. They should have sided with her. They probably would have if she didn’t throw the man that grabbed her ass through a window. It was down right revolting to have the boss of the diner get on her case for damages and then misconduct at work, like she wasn’t the victim.

Shaking her head she continued down the street to the apartment that she managed to secure for herself after she got thrown into this hell hole of a reality. Whoever did this was going to pay, it was not a place that she would like to permanently call home. Especially since she was ripped away from everyone she knew.

She passed a building with pulsing music, neon lights and people standing outside to get in, most of them seemed to be of the male variety. Rolling her eyes, she clutched her purse a bit tighter to her side as she picked up speed with her head down. She was just about to pass the building when she bumped right into a woman with purple hair and heels.

“Sorry.” Ruby said quickly as she looked up.

“It’s ok.” The woman spoke, her emerald green eyes were lined in dark black liner and her lips glittered in the neon lights. “You alright?” She asked as she looked behind her, “one of the patrons didn’t mess with you did they?”

Ruby shook her head, “no, I was just on my way home. Sorry for running into you. It’s been a long day.”

She brushed a lock of her purple hair back as she smiled, “I’ve had those. What’s got you down hun?”

Sighing heavily she ran her hand through her hair, “I got fired from the job I was at because the boss thought it was too much to throw a guy through a window over touching me without my permission. So here I am, rent’s due in a week and I can’t find a job.”

The woman shook her head, “that’s rough girl. I can hook you up with a job. Can you dance?”

Ruby thought for a moment, “yeah.”

The woman extended her hand, “the name’s Jade come on in and let’s get you set up. Can’t have you homeless now, can we?”

“I’m Ruby, Ruby Heart.” She smiled as she shook Jade’s hand.

“Wow, that's your real name or did you already pick one out?” Jade laughed as she led her towards the back door of the building.

“Was born with it.” She laughed with her as they headed inside.

~*~

Ruby found herself grabbing her bag from the house and heading out for work. The last two weeks had flown by, the job paid well and it wasn’t as degrading as she thought it would be. She actually found that she was enjoying the attention. She had become fast friends with Jade and found herself hanging out with her even after work. It was good to finally find a friend in this reality.

The bouncer that worked the back door smiled and opened the door for her. As she walked in she was met with the thumping of the music out on the stage and the chattering of the few girls in back that worked there with her.

“Ruby!” Jade called out from her vanity, waving her over to the one next to her. “I was worried you weren't going to show up tonight. Slow nights can suck. That was the first one we had since you started.”

Ruby made her way over to the vanity decked out in red confetti and plastic rubies, “I seriously thought about calling in to be honest, but here I am.”

“Don’t let a slow day get you down. We got some of our regulars tonight.” Jade smirked as she adjusted her burlesque costume. “Plus we got a real sleeze in here tonight. He seems to be loaded though. Only if you can stand getting close to him while he’s blowing cigar smoke everywhere and flirting like he’s god’s gift to women.”

Ruby slipped behind the curtain by their vanities changing into her own burlesque costume for the night. “Sounds like a real scumbag.” She adjusted her top that had a heart showing her cleavage. Reaching into her bag she sprayed on some perfume, checked her makeup and then slipped into her heels that were also in her bag.

She listened to the music and looked out from the side door of the back to see how packed they were. The music filled her ears as the door cracked open, smoke and strobe lights met her as she looked out into the patronage of the evening. It was a fairly decent crowd tonight and most of them seemed to have a drink in their hands. That was a good sign to her. The more they drink, the more money they throw.

Catching a glimpse of Jade heading to the back of the floor with a well aged bottle of gin peaked her curiosity. She came to a stop at the table that Ruby assumed was the sleeze that they were discussing earlier. Edging out the door further she tried to get a better look, but his back was to her. The only thing she could make out was that he was built, dark black hair groomed to the side while cigar smoke billowed from the table. Stepping back into the door she rolled her eyes, she knew she had to work the floor after her number.

“Hey, Ruby, you're about to go out.” Another one of the girls said to her as she retreated to the back.

Taking a deep breath she made her way towards the back stairs to the stage. She heard the last song drop off and the in between music play as the curtain dropped to set her up for her performance. Her heels clicked as she stepped out onto the stage, the lavish pleated curtain hiding her from the patrons while she sat down on the chaise they brought out for her performance. Her long red hair curled around her perfect make up job. She had only been there a week or so but she had become the talk of the club and the most sought after show.

Leaning back on the chaise the curtain began to rise as the spicy jazz music kicked in.

“Where have I been all my life.” She sang as she rose up on the chaise with the spotlight on her. She continued to sing to the song as she got off the chase lounge and danced. Her moves are precise and provocative as she flirted with the crowd with her dancing. “They all say darling what did you do for those pearls?” She brought her hand up to her face in mock shock, “What?! I am a good girl…” She turned from the crowd and walked up the stair case with a flirtatious bounce in each step.

As Ruby began to dance up the stairs and then sit down on one to give a slightly suggestive shimmy and leg spread, she caught the attention of the “sleeze” at the back of the bar. His eyes locked on her as she got up and walked over to the pole that was at the top of the stairs. She moved with class as she swung herself around it as she sang. A pearly, white grin broke across his lips as he wedged his cigar in his mouth. Standing up and adjusting the black suit jacket he wore, making his way up to the front near the stage with intrigue. Redheads were his weakness and this one was feisty.

Ruby’s hands gripped the pole as she came around it, playfully kicking her feet under her, “they all say my feet never do touch the ground.” She let go of the pole and brought her hand up again, “what?! I am a good girl!” She brought her hands up to ruffle her hair as she stepped towards the stairs with two other dancers.

As the music went into a music break from her singing the girls danced provocatively down the stairs until they hit the main stage again. Once on the main stage, Ruby danced towards the curved edge of the stage, dropping to her knees and rolling her head back and forth to fan out her hair as she sat back on her knees with an innocent expression, bringing her finger tip to her lips as she blinked her eyes turning a violet color, “I am a good girl!” She carried the note as the song ended, bringing her eyes down to the crowd and locking eyes with a set of chocolate colored irises she thought she would never see again.

Her heart hammered as he grinned at her with his cigar wedged between his teeth. She quickly came to her senses about how little clothes she had on as the curtain dropped between them. When the curtain hit the floor of the stage she blinked a few times as her mind raced. “That couldn’t have been Eddie.” She whispered quietly as she got to her feet while the slow jazz played around her. Shaking her head as Kurt, one of her favorite bartenders came up to her with her robe and a glass of her favorite drink, whiskey clean.

“Wunderbar, darling! Stunning as usual. A complete show stopper.” His German accent danced in his words as he helped her into her robe. As he helped her into his robe his jacket sleeve came up a bit showing the blue skin of his wrist that wasn’t covered in ivory colored foundation.

She smiled as she took her drink from Kurt though her mind was elsewhere. She bit her lip thinking about how much that man looked like her Eddie. There was no way he could be, since she was ported here she hadn’t seen anyone that she recognized.

“Miss Ruby, you seem distracted. Are you well? You are very pale.” His eyes turned to her in an unnatural color of green, the yellow beneath the contacts made them almost emerald.

She waved her hand as they made their way backstage as she sipped her drink, “sorry Kurt, I was just a bit distracted.” She blinked a few times as her eyes finally shifted back to their blue color.

“You have to be careful with that, Fräulein. People may one day catch on that you are not using contacts in your performance.” Kurt stepped down the steps and held his hand out for her to take it as she stepped down too.

All of a sudden there was one hell of a ruckus at the side door to the back stage.

“The fuck you mean I ain’t allowed. I can go where the fuck I please.”

The voice made her stop dead in her tracks, turning towards the door. Her heart hammering, that voice sure was Eddie’s.

The bouncer came stumbling backwards into the backstage as if he was hit by a tank.

“Get behind me, Fräulein.” Kurt’s arm pushed Ruby behind him as he took a defensive stance.

The first thing Ruby saw come through the door was a 44 magnum pointed forward then he stepped in. In all his full tilt glory the look of a man on a mission.

“You ain’t even gonna say hi, doll face?” His eyes locked to her as he stepped forward completely ignoring Kurt that stood between them.

“Patron’s are not permitted in the back, sir.” Kurt flexed his hands as he looked at the man with a gun.

A low, dark chuckle left his lips as he grinned, “and what’re you gonna do about it, pipsqueak?”

Ruby had no time to react before Kurt disappeared into thin air. “Kurt, no!” She called out as he reappeared behind the man with the gun.

“I’m going to throw you out.” Kurt chuckled as he grabbed the back of the man’s jacket.

Eddie nodded his head at Ruby with a devilish smirk as he turned and fired his gun.

Kurt once again disappeared into thin air causing the bullet to hit the wall with a loud crack. He reappeared hanging from one of the beams clicking his tongue, “Herr, terrible aim.” He dove from the beam towards Eddie’s chest.

Bringing his hands up he snatched Kurt up and threw him into the wall. “You’re not big enough to stop me.” He spun the gun in his fingers as he prepared to shoot again.

As the bullet rushes towards Kurt, he once again disappears, popping back into view a few feet from Ruby as he takes off his jacket which was binding his tail to his back. “I may not be big enough, but I am fast enough.” He took off running, disappearing and reappearing in a rapid succession towards Eddie. He came back into reality with a diving punch at Eddie’s chin, connecting, sending his head to the side. As his feet hit the ground he once again teleported.

Eddie’s hand shot forward grasping at the smoke, grabbing arm before he completely disappeared taking Eddie with him and reappearing in the rafters, his tail dangling Eddie over the edge by the arm.

Eddie twisted, bringing the magnum up towards Kurt and firing a few times at him, narrowly missing him.

“Damn it boys!” Ruby exclaimed as she threw her tumbler of whiskey into the floor causing the glass to shatter. “Stop the shit!” Her eyes shifted to violet as she heard footsteps hammering towards them. “Get down here right now, Kurt!”

“As you wish, Fräulein.” His words dripped with sarcasm as his tail let go of Eddie, sending him to the ground falling feet first to the ground. Disappearing off the rafter and then reappearing next to Ruby.

Eddie landed on his feet with a look like he was going to rip Kurt apart as stormed towards the pair.

“Eddie, stop!” Ruby exclaimed as she got between the two with her arms outstretched, not giving Eddie any wiggle room to get to the smaller statured man behind her. Her features changed into one of shocked relief as he seemed to listen. “It really is you?” Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“In the flesh, doll,” Not lowering his gun from Kurt he wrapped his arm around her waist. Pulling her into him.

“You know this brute, Fräulein?” Kurt asked in complete surprise.

“Oh boy, do I know him.” Ruby smiled as her arms came around his shoulders for a hug.
