A/N: Drabblish responses to prompts, based on different BB couples. Equal opportunity (het) shipping, both couples I like and don't. No particularly continuity. First two are Terry x Dana and Terry x Max.
1. Evidence (Terry x Dana)
Somehow she had known it all along. Some subconscious part of her brain had noticed everything: not just the broken dates, unexplained absences, and the sleeping in class, but the mysterious bruises, the slight gain in bulk and definition, and the determined set of his jaw, and understood what all of it meant. It was just, until that moment, when he pulled off the cowl, she hadn't known that she knew.
2. I'm Here (Terry x Max)
She had always known it would be bad when Dana finally broke up with him. She just hadn't realized it would be this kind of bad. She had expected frustration, moodiness, relentless flirting with the attractive females that constantly crossed his path both as Batman and Terry McGinnis. She hadn't expected this…wrath.
"Batman! Stop!" She shoves the unfortunate lowlife out of the way, and knocks away the Dark Knight's arm as he tries to shoot a grappler after him.
Foiled, he grabs her instead and before she can quite react, she's pinned against the warehouse wall. "Don't ever do that again," he growls, sounding scarily like the old man in January.
She doesn't say, "He didn't know anything," even though it's true.
She doesn't say, "You went too far," which is true, but obvious.
She doesn't say, "Of course I'll do it again—whenever you need me to," though that's also true, and he'll know it as soon as he's thinking clearly again.
Instead, she says, "I'm here," and pulls off her cowl. There's only a split second hesitation before he does the same, and then his mouth is on hers and she can taste weeks, months, maybe even years of bitterness and frustration, and passion, oh, the passion.
She doesn't tell herself that this is dangerous, even though it's true.
She doesn't tell herself that she's just a replacement for Dana, because she's too smart to bore herself with the obvious.
She doesn't tell herself that this will only end badly eventually, though she's talked to the Commissioner, and she knows how these things go.
She just kisses him back, just as hard and desperate, because she's here, and that's all that really matters right now.
