Author's Note: Hey I'm back. This chapter is probably my shortest, but it will truly develop the story. Also thank you for the reviews on the last chapter.
Chapter 9: No One Else But You
Bludhaven, Slums. 9:58PM
Nightwing going through his new routine patrol of the Slums. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, performing aerial stunts that would be difficult for the most skilled acrobat, he smiled thinking this. Even when he was Robin, his were advanced for his age, but now they're flawless. He could pull off a stunt with ease now, it didn't take about half his strength and focus to pull them off, it was a simple as breathing for him. As he land on the next roof, he heard gun fire and screams. He almost smiled, it would be the first action he'd have in a couple days. Bludhaven was practically free of street crime now. He switched his masked to detective mode, and found the source of the shots, a building where the local bangers hang out. Inside the building he saw at least twenty men, and…one girl, beating the crap out of them. He didn't even stop to asses the situation, he ran off the roof, shot a line at the building, and crashed through a window. Everyone in the room stop and looked at him, including the girl, who was dressed in costume that could only be described as a purple batgirl suit. He stood-up, cracked his knuckles, and the thugs charged at him. "This shouldn't take too long." He joked.
(Nightwing POV)
I blocked just about everything the first five thugs threw at me, and I quickly took them down. Another thug came at me with a knife, another with bat, I broke the one with the bat's nose, took the bat and hit the other across the face. The bat splintered. The woman was not being soft on these guys, she attacked them savagely. But we eventually beat them. She studied me, and seductively smiled at me. "Thanks for the help, handsome," she said, "Name's Huntress. And who might you be?" She was moving closer to me, "Nightwing," I answered. This got her even more excited, I could see it in her eyes. "Well," she said smiling, "The mysterious Nightwing, makes an appearance for little me. And he's cute." She placed a hand on my chest, it made my skin crawl to be honest. She drew herself closer, I pushed her back. She looked at me confused. "Not interested," I coldly stated. She shrugged and walked over to a banger that was regaining consciousness. She picked up a shard of broken glass, and held it to the bangers neck. "Alright dumbass start talking," she demanded. I pulled her off the banger and knocked him out. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?" I shouted. She didn't even flinch, "Trying to get him to talk before I kill him," she said it so casually, that scared me. "Don't approve of murder," I said, "Doesn't matter who it is. Killing is never the answer." She laughed, "Yeah right," she mocked, "Let me guess, now you're going to give me a lecture on ethics?" She eyed me, and I just stayed quiet. "Well let me tell you Nightwing," she spoke harshly, "The only way to deal with criminals is to make examples out of them, and put them down like the animals that they are." I would've argued with her, but she attacked me. I didn't even think, I just acted. She tried kicking my head, I grabbed her leg, and swiped her other foot out from under her. Than pinned her to the floor, "What was that for!" I demanded.
She grinned, then she did something that I never would've expected. She kissed me, I quickly jumped away from. The second I was off her, she tackled me through a window. Punching me the whole way down, then we landed on a car. If it weren't for my suit I'd be dead, but thanks to it I've only got some bruises. I groaned in pain, Huntress was still on top of me, she laughed kiss me on the check "See you around." She whispered.
"YOU BITCH!" I turned my head a saw Zatanna. Eyes glowing with magic and anger. "s'eeb mraws taht hctib" And in an instance bee's swarmed Huntress and she ran off screaming. "Nightwing!" She screamed, my vision was going blurry, but I could see she was crying, it hurt me to see her this way. I put a hand to her cheeks, and wipe away her tears. I smiled at her, "Before I pass out," I started, "Want you to know that you're the only girl for me." Then I blacked out.
