Nightwing has a cold; again
Cold. That was Nightwing's first thought as he woke up, remembering then stressful mission he had been on less than 2 hours ago. It had been raining, and cold, and yucky in general. Yes, the 'great' Nightwing had described a mission as yucky. It had been pretty horrible though, he had fallen in a puddle, which was never the most pleasant thing. He rapidly shook his head, primarily to rid himself of the embarrassing events of the night before but secondarily to disperse the clouds that had appeared in his subconscious.
He struggled upright and looked down, groaning. He had slept in his suit again so he took it off, big mistake, he squealed as the cold air of his apartment hit his already cold skin. He darted to his bathroom, removing his mask, exposing his beautiful sapphire eyes to the empty area of his apartment. He stepped into the shower and turned on the warm water, relishing in it before beginning to scrub himself down. He ran his fingers through his longish ebony locks and began washing them. His nose began feeling stuffy so he turned his head and sneezed loudly. He frowned and snuffled stuffily before going back to his shower.
It was less than 3 minutes later when he exited the shower and dressed in a new, dry and clean suit. He clipped his utility belt on and slipped his mask on, not bothering with his hair. He was already 10 minutes late and the closest zeta-tube was an hours walk and a half hour run from his place. He sprinted as fast as he could, dodging people and cars as he ran through Blüdhaven, he was late, he really didn't care.
He finally got to the zeta-beam and went inside. "Recognising Nightwing B01," said the robotic female voice making the team look up as their 'fearless' leader tumbled, yes tumbled, out of the zeta-beam, faceplanting the ground with a groan. This makes them laugh and Connor went over to help him up, concerned as he used his infrared vision and noticed that his leader's body temperature was higher than it should be, yet he said nothing, allowing Nightwing to stand properly and apologise for being late. Connor began to think that Nightwing wasn't being as truthful as he made out he was.
