Two weeks...
Two fricken weeks since the whole Jake/Jason fiasco, and during those two weeks Holi has been avoiding Dick and giving him the silent treatment; that was usually her go to to get him to talk to her, Bruce, Alfred and Shiloh had all offered to tell her who Jason is or rather was to her. But, she shot them all down Dick was the one who invoked her wrath and he was the one calm it. if it had been any of her other relatives then they would be ones getting the silent treatment.
And though she doesn't see him, Holi knows Jason was still breaking into her apartment when she was out or at work, she come home to the faint smell of cigarettes a used shower and post-its telling her to eat something, or he fixed something her landlords been putting off or random books go missing from her bookshelf.
She found it annoying and creepy at first; a random guy (albeit a hot one.) she barely knows wandering around her home and using her stuff, most girls would run to cops and turn him in. But not Holi there was something familiar about Jason...Something that made her heart skip a few beats whenever she though about him.
Holi was quickly brought out of her thoughts by a batarang flying towards her, she quickly deflected it with her umbrella before doing a few front aerials to dodge gunshots, before landing on an old car. "Nice reflexes." Holi felt her stomach to a flop a she knew that voice, sure enough a familiar red helmet wearing anti-hero came stepping from the shadows guns smoking.
"Penguin's really upped his henchmen game." He sneered the redhead felt nauseous at the thought. "Urg...You think I work for that perv..." She said gagging a little Red-hoods eyes widened a little when heard her speak then shook his head. "If it's not Penguin...then who? Black Mask? the Clown?..." he aimed his gun at her again he didn't give her time to respond before shooting at her again.
there was a brief flash blinding Red hod for a few seconds he blinked and the umbrella girl was suddenly in front of him, where he attempts a roundhouse kick, Only for the girl to counter it with a well delivered spinning hook kick, knocking Red to the ground, leaving the former's guard completely open on the left side and disarmed of one of his guns.
Realizing what just happened the anti-hero growled in anger, before narrowly avoiding the girl's drop kick and subsequently springing up to attack once again.
The girl was ready he tried to pistol whip her only for the short woman to grab his arm countered him again, through a pull in redirection of force technique, She pulled Red's arm in with her own left arm, she brought her leg up and kicked him in the chin, before kicking Red in the stomach with a with a side kick.
Disarming him a second time, she then begins pushing Red-hood back with her umbrella. Now Red was pissed! with a snarl he tried to counter her movements by copying her attacks, He assumed she would be to busy dodging to notice the smoke grenade he was reaching for...
Red pulled the pin and tossed it at her feet. The girl however, back-flips effortlessly avoiding the blast and using smoke as a cover, She found herself dodging a flurry of several punches aimed at her. Red was too pissed off to notice he was resetting each time instead of redirecting his blows, the girl simply dodges each attack, moving her body swiftly in order to avoid them in a very lazy but effective style.
With every unsuccessful hit, Red continues moving forward as his last three blows had him in a box, The girl was about to kick him Red grabbed her foot, and pulled her closer intending to throw her, only for her to grapple on to him and using his own momentum against him and threw him into the side of a cargo container, the girl curiously looked back at him Red grunted in annoyance before get up and rushing at her again only for the girl to shatter before his fist could make contact.
"a trick?..." Red's eyes widened behind his mask as the realization dawned on him. "HOLI!" his angered voice echoed and bounced off the city streets with a growl Jason found his guns and took off into the night, meanwhile said redhead. Luckily, was miles away from his rampage, she swallowed hard not wanting think about what he'll do if he catches her.
"Sad he had to find out this way, secrets can really damage a person's trust, am I right?" Holi mused after a few seconds of staring at city skyline she frowned "Dick, This is where you tell the truth." She huffed as a sheepish Nightwing rounded the corner of the building ledge she was sitting on.

And that how Holi found herself here. The old Wayne family cemetery, her feet felt heavy with every step as she approached the far end of the rows where the most recent plots lay, she briefly paused paying small respects to her step-grandparents and Dick's parents, before coming to a stop to recently dug out grave, Holi's eyes stared blankly at the name: Jason Peter Todd... She pulled the bottom of her mask down; mouth a frown as she tried together what Dick had told her.
They were...friends? no, more than that. They were secret lovers. Bruce had blown a gasket when he found out. Pulled her out Gotham Academy and sent her to an all girl's boarding school. Dick suspects that decision may have come from an earlier situation where Jason had broken a crooks collarbone and put him coma, he was worried that Jay might hurt Holi too and forcibly separated them.
That had made things worse between Bruce and the second Robin, who had grown resentful and angry toward their old man, eventually Jason decided he was going to find his mother and live with her...after months of searching he supposedly found her. but it turned out to be a trick by Joker...Jason Todd had died that night...
In a way Holi had also died she wasn't the sweet little girl who could keep Jason Todd settled during a fit of anger, nor was she the shy little redhead who'd run and hide behind others when the going got tough, No, she'd grown more cynical, calculated and maybe little insane over the years...
She almost wanted to laugh, But the numbness she was feeling kept her rooted on spot, brows furrowed she gritted her teeth; She still couldn't remember dammit! Holi's body suddenly felt tingly the time limit on her clone was up...with frustration Holi teleported back to her office the Hospital.
Just in time there was a knock at her door. "just minute!" she yelled taking her mask off and stashing it in her backpack and hid her umbrella under the desk, whoever was at the door didn't want to wait, using her powers Holi quickly disguise her suit as her scrubs. Just as Greg walk in a rush. "get your butt down in the ER it's short staffed! we got multiple gun shot victims!" He snapped before running back down the hall, with Holi not far behind. When she entered the ER she was met by two cops one on a gurney and the other one holding the injured cops hand.
Injured cop waking up: Oh God, I've been hit!
Concerned Cop: Doc over here! help my buddy man!
Holi runs up to them as more victims,paramedics and nurses rush by...
Holi: All right I'm gonna need you to Calm down, officer. Where are you hit?
Injured: Oh, that Red-helmet bastard got me. He got me right in the lap!
Holi felt a chill go spine...Red helmet. She did a quick scan around the room. briefly catching bits and pieces of sentences, Hostage situation...assailants KIA, police were either incapacitated with non-lethal injuries...Oh fuck, Holi hoped she wasn't the cause of this...this tantrum. she then tuned her attention back to her patient.
Holi: Oh, ah... I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
Injured Cop: Urrgh, the lap! I was shot in the lap!
Holi: (Blinks) [confused] So, like your... upper thigh?
Concerned Cop: Didn't you hear him? He said HIS LAP!
Injured Cop: Oh God, my lap!
Holi: It's just... that- that's not really proper anatomical-
Concerned (annoyed) Cop: (interrupts) Well, excuse my partner here for not being a certified medical genius!
Injured Cop: Ungh, come on, lady! I need some slack, I'm bleeding out here!
Holi: Um, right. Sorry. Are you...were you hit anywhere else?
Injured Cop: Uh, my Tummy!
Concerned Cop: The bastard got'im right in the tummy.
Holi: (sighs) This is gonna be a long night.
She calls for a nurse to send the injured cop to room 106 and prep him for surgery. while she ran around the hospital all night and well into the ass-crack of dawn; treating Red-hood and batman related injuries on cops, criminals...very heavily guarded and restrained villains.
by the time Holi finally got home, she just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep for like a year. she tossed her backpack on the couch hung her umbrella up grabbed a large gray t-shirt and stripped off her suit off pulled the t-shirt on and crawled into bed.
Holi sighed contently her bed felt nice and warm...Wait, warm? Holi eyes snapped open and she finally noticed the second shape in her bed she swallowed and pulled the blankets back to reveal a sleeping Jason Todd the redhead was to tired know what to do...yell, kick him out? sleep on couch...sleep on the couch then freak-out later?
yeah... that third option sounds nice actually, she'll do that. Holi was about crawl out of bed, when a large hand had grabbed her arm and pulled her back down. "Go to sleep..." an exhausted voice huffed Holi looked over and saw the bags under his eyes...
"I had to work overtime because you..." she huffed trying to keep her eyes open failing miserably. "(sigh)...we are in no condition to be pissed off right now..." he said taking a sharp breath that Holi suspects was a suppressed yawn. "We can kill each other in the morning..." the short woman yawned then mumbled "It is morning." Jason snorted "Anytime is morning when I wake up..." his voice trailed and after a few seconds both vigilantes were out cold.
