Ava's p.o.v

When I opened my eyes I saw that it was dark outside. Did I sleep at all? Or did Alfred not even bother with waking us up?

And when did my pillow all of a sudden grow muscles and leaned how to move?

"Evening."

I looked up and saw Dick looking down at me with an adoring look in his face.

I smiled at the man I loved and sat up. "Hi."

Dick smiled back and sat up to kiss me. I smiled and happily kissed him back. I was brought back to earth when I felt Dick wince in pain. I remembered that his ankle was still sprained. Though not as bad as it was after going after Red Ho- Jason.

I mentally chastised myself. Now's not the time to think about him.

What am I going to do about him?

I pulled away the kiss. "You okay?"

Dick, being trained by Bruce to work through pain, gave me a tight smile. "I'm fine."

He tried to pull me back to the kiss, but I gently pushed him back until he was lying flat on the bed.

"No, you're not."

Dick pouted. "Yes I am."

I smiled and chuckled at his childish antics. "No you're not."

My fingers began running through Dick's hair. He leaned back against the pillow with a blissful sigh. Comfortable silence filled the room for a while.

I gently brushed Dick's hair to the side. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

The boy blunder opened his eyes, which had a seductive glow to them.

His lips curved into my favorite boyish grin. "You could take advantage of me and my situation."

My cheeks heated up when I realized what he meant, and gave him glare. He gave that boyish grin of his and leaned up to kiss my neck softly. I arched my neck and starting purring softly

"Boy wonder, only you could distract me like this." I purred.

"Just reminding you that you're mine Tiger Lily. " he said and kept kissing me.

My phone rang and I reach over to answer it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Ava, we need your help," Peter said from the other end of the phone.

I sprung out of bed. I heard Dick mutter under his breath. "Damned bug- where does Alfred keep the bug spray?

I smirked at him over my shoulder before turning my attention back to the phone. "What's up?"

"Do you remember the Sinister Six?"

"Of course."

"They're back. And more powerful."

This is a good opportunity to get away from Gotham for awhile.

And from Jason.

Besides, this isn't the first time I've helped out in New York. "I'm in."

"How fast can you get here?"

I smirked. "Via zeta-tube? Five minutes."

"See ya Tiger."

"See ya Web-Head." I said and hung up.

"Can I come too?" Dick said.

"No. Your ankle is still sprained. Besides, you lost your New York privileges when you threatened Peter with bug-spray." I said, referring to the last time I brought Dick with me to help out Web-head.

Dick pouted. "Please?"

I crossed my arms. "No means no. Do you want to hear it in Spanish? No."

"Fine, but at least take Damian with you. He'll know what to do if bug-eye stares at you."

I arched an eyebrow. "What will he do?"

"He'll break every bone in his wall-crawling body," Dick said. I growled and hit him on his chest.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"For being stupid. Although it's nice that you and Damian are getting closer you don't have to turn him into my attack dog. Why would I leave you Grayson? Besides, Peter and MJ just got engaged. She'd kill him first." I said and went to go get changed. Dick followed on my heels. I got to the bathroom first and closed and locked the door before he could follow me in.

"No, Dick." I said.

"Why? I'm such a big help. And when has a locked door stopped me?" He whined from the other side of the door.

"You're a big help alright. A big help with removing my clothes." I said, changing before he could pick the lock. When I came out I attacked Dick with a kiss. He shook off his surprise and returned the kiss with an equal amount of aggressiveness. I backed him up until his knees hit the bed, causing him to fall back.

We kissed a little while longer before I pulled away. "I'll see you soon, okay?"

Dick pouted and nodded. "Okay."

I pecked his lips. "I love you."

Dick smiled. "I love you too."

I went down to the cave. I could hear Bruce and Damian arguing before I reached the door.

"I don't see what I did wrong."

"You broke every rib in his body."

I walked down the stairs and waked towards the father and son.

"Maybe Damian needs a break from Gotham."

The two turned to look at me. Bruce raised an eyebrow, indicating me to continue.

"I'm going to New York for a while to help out S.H.I.E.L.D. Damian's welcome to join me."

Bruce nodded approvingly. "That sounds like a good idea. Damian?"

The fourth Robin sighed before nodding and followed me out of the cave.

-Time Skip-

Damian and I stayed in New York for two days. I'm pretty sure that the guys are now more afraid of him than they are of me.

When we headed back to Gotham, we heard reports on trucks being set fire to, killing the people and destroying the equipment inside.

Looks like Jason's been busy.

Bruce found out that the League of Shadows replaced Jason's real body with a dummy. He and Damian were going to talk to Talia. And with Dick still hurt and Barbara and Tim on a mission. That left me to patrol Gotham.

There was a break in at Arkham. Anyone want to guess who broke out?

I ran across rooftops to get to Gotham Bridge. When I got there, Joker already started the party.

I didn't hesitate to jump on top of the truck when I saw the lighter in his hands. I kicked him away to the open hatch. Looking down, I saw Black Mask, his cronies, and some of Jason's cronies.

I looked at the Joker when he cackled.

"Look at you. All grown up."

"Sorry I'm making you feel old."

He cackled again. I feel into a defensive stance when he stood up.

"So how've you been since New York?"

I growled and started attacking him. "Fine no thanks to you."

Joker dodged some of my punches. Right when I managed to get s lucky hit, the person who started it all arrived.

"Who's that?"

"Put a light on him!"

I looked up and saw Jason, in all his Red Hood glory, standing on top of the bridge. Joker took advantage of my distraction and K-O.'d me.

"Hey look at you! Mr. Hood. Or do you prefer Red. You know I useful to wear an outfit just like that. Mine was more flashy maitre'd then motorcycle fetish. You kids today."

He looked at the lighter he was carrying when it wouldn't start. "I'm sorry could you give me a sec? I'm trying to set fire to your gang."

I swiped the lighter from him before grabbing his jacket and throwing him across the top of the bus.

I heard Jason chuckling. Faintly enough so only I could hear it.

"That's my girl."

I growled irritability. Jason spoke loud enough so everyone could hear him. "Go head. You think I care of that scum dies?"

Joker got up. "Don't know. I just wanted your attention."

I heard Jason scoff. "You've always had my attention. But what I really wanted was an audience with you."

Is- is he implying that he organized all this?

"I'm sorry. That seems to imply that you were the one who organized this little clan bake."

It all makes sense now. Jason wanted Back Mask so desperate that he'd have to call on the Joker. Getting the Joker out in the open was his plan all along.

"I did. Sure I had lots of plans. But getting you it off the open wad the end game. Black Mark was the only one with the connections to get into Arkham and get you out.

The Joker slumped. "So I've been bamboozled... Oh my."

'"I wouldn't under sell it. It took a lot of work to bring up pour reunion."

"Reunion? Have we met before?"

I shuddered at Jason's dark tone. "Yes. We have."

I tried do look Jason in the eye. Jason whatever your doing... Don't.

Joker swiped the lighter from my grasp. "Well, here's to warm memories!"

He dropped the lighter into the truck.

My eyes widened at the sound of people screaming.

"NO!"

Luckily Bruce had the best timing ever. Foam spewed from the bottom of the Batjet. As did a line that honed on Joker's jacket. I grabbed the line as it flew away.

Jason had the same idea.

My eyes widened when he liked out a knife.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

He ignored me and cut the line. Sending him, the Joker, and me down to the river.

I tried to swim for the top, but an arm wrapped around my neck, cutting off my oxygen.

Then, all I knew was darkness.
