I don't own anything.


March 7th:

Tim:

Tim was a busy man, he had to take care of Riley, patrol Gotham, lead missions for the Titans, train new Titans, and was now running the Neon Knight foundation full time, all while trying to rebuild Drake Industries. It was not a surprise to find that he was currently walking through the crowded streets of Gotham, holding Riley's hand, with a newspaper tucked under one arm, a coffee in his free hand, and talking on a cell phone that was tucked between his shoulder and his ear.

"No, Tam, that's fine, I understand," Tim said over the phone paying close attention to everyone around him and Riley. Riley's blonde hair bounced behind her as she walked with her adoptive father. She was off in her own little world thinking about who knows what. Tim listened to Tam talk and looked over his shoulder out of habit, unfortunately it was just long enough for him to run right into someone and Riley to let go of his hand to avoid the collision herself.

Tim dropped his phone in the collision and not to mention got hot coffee all over himself and the person he ran into. "Sorry," Tim said picking up the purse he had knocked from the lady's grasp. Once he stood up he was caught off guard seeing the Anti-Heroine, Lynx, he had broken out of prison. She was of course not in costume, but was still very stunning.

"It is alright," she stated taking her purse back seeming not to be any more fazed by the hot coffee on her skin then he was. Her English was still semi-broken and her Chinese accent was still thick. Though, her amber eyes always seemed to captivate him in a way.

Tim snapped out of his daze and asked,"Are you alright?" out of curtsy even, though, he knew the coffee wasn't effecting her. He then remember his phone and Riley so he picked his phone up and turned and checked on Riley. Tim looked at his phone and frowned seeing it was broken from the fall.

"Yes...Are you?" Lynx asked and Tim nodded and was about to apologize again when he was cut off.

"Would you like another coffee?" Lynx asked with a smile and Tim was about to say no, but some irrational thought stopped him.

"Sure, but can I take a rain check, I have to take my daug-Riley somewhere," Tim said before he could stop himself completely. Riley remained silent as she watched Tim look like a fool trying to find something to write on and write with so he could give it to Lynx. He was unsuccessful, but Lynx decided to take things into her own hands and pulled a pen out of her purse and grabbed Tim's hand and wrote her number on it.

"It was nice to meet you," Lynx stated and walked off leaving Riley confused.

"What just happened?" Riley asked actually dumbfounded for once and Tim looked at her unsure himself.

"I just got her phone number to set up a date," Tim stated after a moment of thinking the scene over.

Riley looked at Tim's broken phone then at him and said,"But you're phone is broke," and Tim remembered. He sighed at his bad luck and not to mention how much of a fool he acted like over a pretty girl. Tim was starting to realize why Bruce always acted weirdly around Selina, Talia, and Vickie Vale.

"I guess we're making another pit stop, before we go to the park," Tim stated and Riley frowned. He then took Riley's hand and walked a few blocks with the five year old until they got the phone store. Tim made Riley sit in a chair and wait while he talked to one of the tech guys about a replacement. Getting the new phone took about maybe thirty minutes and by time Tim finished he had turned around and found Riley asleep. He smiled a little and walked over to the blonde and picked her up.


Once at his apartment Tim put Riley on the couch and sat down beside her sleeping form. He then proceeded to set up his new phone and after he was done with that he started re-adding his contacts. When he finished he called Tam who was not happy with him. "You hung up on me!" Tam exclaimed as soon as she picked up the phone.

"I didn't mean too, I accidentally ran into someone and my phone broke," Tim explained as he looked over at the blonde. Tam calmed down after the explanation and they went on to talk about Tim's business options. When they finished the conversation Tam ended the call stating she had a family thing to attend. Tim let her go and looked over at the clock, it was around six in the afternoon. He looked at the number he had written on his hand and sighed. Tim stared at his hand for a moment, mentally scolding himself for even considering getting into an relationship with a villainess. Though, Lynx, has helped him before and Cass did say their were uncover agents in Gotham from Hong Kong.

He sat in silence for ten minutes before he unlocked his phone and typed in the number. Tim stared at the screen wondering if he should press call or not. He was already in deep water with Bruce and if he did this then it would be disastrous. Then again Bruce has had his fair share of villainess lovers over the years, hell he had two children with villains. With that he made up his mind and for once decided to do something illogical and different. He was already rebelling against Bruce, so why not show it and move on from Stephanie. Tim looked over at Riley then back at his phone and pressed call.

"Hey, it's the guy who spilled coffee on you, earlier, by accident...Yeah, that would be great. I'll meet you there tomorrow," Tim said with a small smile.

To be continued:
