Author's note: I went back through all my chapters and did some minor editing, nothing to big, just the much needed fix of missing words, or misspelled words and names. Though I did change Blaze's costume again. Took out the whole line about it being different when she was younger. I took out the month mask as well and made the hood connect to the back of the shirt. She still has an eye mask that she wears all the time, where as the hood she only puts up when sneaking. This is just my views on the whole age thing so don't yell at me if i am wrong. I switched Blaze's age to 14 when she first met Jason, meaning he was 16. On a side note um they were "together" for 2 yrs until he dies at 18, then in the movie it says he comes back after 5yrs if i remember right so he is 23 and she is 21. Sorry if I'm confusing anyone, I know I'm indecisive. Anyway enjoy my new chapter, please review.

Think Twice

Dick Grayson paced through his living room in his loft, not able to get Blaze out of his mind. He cared for the girl of course, just not the way Jason had, so this was only natural. He had told Bruce about the incident at the graveyard one night when they had "teamed" up and took down quite the android. But the old man just pushed it off, never much for talking about feelings, but he did say he was glad to her let out some tears. Especially after those prison visits last year. But Dick wasn't satisfied, he had never seen Blaze break like that. Granted he only knew her through Jason and only "talked" to her a couple times when he would fight with Bruce and Jason. But he still considered them friends, even more so after Jason's death. His pacing suddenly stopped dead as a news report rang in his ears.

"There has been new information on the Arkham Asylum heist. To remind you the guards were left with quite a mess after a hooded assassin Broke In to the facility two nights ago" the reported stated, putting empathizes on the words broke in. "Apparently the assailant was after the Joker but the guards got there just in time, yet they could not restrain the attacker."

"She wouldn't" Dick spoke quietly to himself.

He grabbed his jacket and rushed out the door, not even bothering to turn off the TV, he had to make sure. The former Robin walked about two miles before it struck him that it was day time, Blaze wouldn't be out in her costume now, and sadly he never learned her identity.

~Maybe shall be a Jason's grave again~he thought and changed directions, then started to sprint. Unfortunately Blaze wasn't there, and he wasn't patient enough to wait around till night time. Even though he couldn't think of anywhere else the girl could be he still ran off, scouring the city, hoping to recognize her.

Mari bounced a ball back and forth off her bedroom wall, she was no longer full of sadness or anger. She had slept all day yesterday dreaming of Jason and it had seeped away. To be honest if the guards hadn't arrived she wasn't sure she would have been able to end the Joker's life. It wasn't that she thought he shouldn't die, no, just maybe not by her hands. An old friend had told her way back that once you kill you can never wash your hands of it. She wasn't the type to turn to murder, even if she was a Mob's boss daughter. All she ever did was steal, she hardly ever even hurt anyone. Sure she came close when she ran into her mother's killers again beating them to a bloody plup this time, but when she realized what she had almost done she started to shake, and ran off, breaking into tears. Remembering that made her also relive the fact that Jason had found her that night well on patrol. Bats wasn't with him for some reason, and when he saw her crying in pain he went over to her, slightly confused. This was only the second time they had seen each other. Blaze tired to shove it off, as soon as she noticed his prescience, wiping away her tears, saying she was fine, then started to walk off. But he grabbed her hand, stopping her, for she had dropped a picture of her mom.

"You know, I lost my parents at a young age too...As did Batman" he spoke.

"Like any of you heroes would know how to talk about death! Always hiding your feeling behind your masks, no matter if you're alone or not" Blaze spat.

Robin tightened his grip on her hand, his voice darker when he spoke,"Ya the old man doesn't like to share much, gets on my nerves a lot more then you'd think."

This surprised Blaze, finally making her turn back to see that his face spoke as true as his words. She took the small photo from his other hand as he let her go.

"Thank you" she spoke softly.

Robin nodded his head, then let her walk off this time, watching her the whole way.

Mari suddenly shook her head of the past as her ball hit her hand, rolling back from the wall after being neglected. She gave it a sad look then stood, changing into her costume, night was approaching. Blaze came across the Wayne manor as she ran across some rooftops, a small smile played on her lips as she thought about messing with Bats, but then that only made Jason flash into her mind again so she moved on. Everything about this city seem to remind her of him, she stopped on another rooftop a few blocks from the manor, thinking it might be easier if she moved on from Gotham completely.

Nightwing soared through the west part of the city, by now he had mostly given up on searching for Blaze and was on patrol. Oddly enough the night had been slow, Bats was probably was getting most of the action up North.

"Hey Boy Wonder" the hero heard, and turned to face a tall building.

Blaze sat on the edge dangling her feet over and waving slowly. Nightwing let out a low sigh then flew over to her.

"Got any stories for me boy wonder?" Blaze asked.

"Would it kill you to call me Nightwing?" the former Robin asked.

"Indeed it would."

The hero shook his head at her smirk and took a seat next to her. "You seem to be in higher spirits?"

Blaze nodded her head, "And you never answered my question, any stories?"

"It's been quiet slow actually."

Blaze fake whined and pouted making the hero laugh lightly. There was silence after that for some time, Nightwing wanted to bring up the Joker, but he didn't wanna ruin Blaze's mood. Yet he had to know for sure.

"The news was on earlier, I heard someone tried to break in to the Arkham Asylum" he started.

Blaze gave him a look out of the corner of her eyes then got off the edge.

"You'd have to be crazy to do something like that"she answered flatly, as she leaned against the roof enterence wall.

Nightwing looked back to see if he could tell any change in her expression but this girl was always good at hiding her emotions.

"Ya I guess that's true" he finally said, knowing he wasn't going to get much more from her.

He stood off the edge as well and rejoined her against the wall.

"Can I ask you something personal?" Blaze started slowly, after a couple minutes.

"Of course" Nightwing answered, a little surprised.

He turned and began to scoot closer to her, but just before he filled the space in between them they both heard a small zing in the air. Blaze spotted what it was a second before it hit the hero.

"Watch Out!" she yelled as she tackled him to the cement, hard.

Blaze got up fast, going over to where the roof was hit. She glazed her fingers over a bullet that was now lodged into the wall, as Nightwing stood back up.

"What was that?" he asked, walking over to Blaze.

"Someone just tired to kill you" she answered gravely, "Are you ok?"

"Ya, not like it's never happened before" Nightwing brushed off.

Blaze nodded her head slowly, yet her expression didn't change as her eyes moved to where the shot came from.

"That was a close one, thanks" the hero said, as he recalled a couple nights before when Bats and him "encountered" the Red Hood and he had sniped two guys right in front of him.

Blaze didn't hear him though for she had already ran towards the edge of the roof then telported to where the shooter might have been. Nightwing heaved out a sigh as he shook his head, this sure was like that night, for Batman had ignored him and left him hanging without a word as well. He pulled out his zip-line and glided across to where Blaze was crouched.

"Anything?" he asked.

Blaze shook her head, "I did just miss him though, seems this spot is still warm."

Nightwing pulled out some hi-tech binoculars and looked around the other rooftops near by. It took a moment but there on the ground a block or so away was the Red hood, he must of slid down the fire escape to get away.

"What do you know, it was the Red Hood" he told Blaze.

The young thief looked up at him confused, she hadn't heard of new one rising up.

"You should really watch the news Blaze" Nightwing groaned, looking at her. "This Red Hood appeared just a couple weeks back, he's taken over most of Black Mask's territory and actually lowered crime a little bit. He's just rather brutal about it though."

"I see" Blaze said, "Quiet different from all the old ones who just robbed people."

She grabbed the scope from Nightwing eager to see what he looked like, and she was quite surprised. This guy had put quite the biker style on his costume. Red helmet instead of a mask, leather jacket, black shirt and pants, and then some boots. It was actually a rather attractive look to her.

"Ya, very different" Blaze rolled out... "Have you talked to clown?" she asked trying not to growl.

"We did, it seems he has nothing to do with it though... We should head after this guy."

Blaze nodded her head handing Nightwing back his tech, but then a siren wailed in the opposite direction.

"Go, you can trust me take care of him right?" she asked.

Nightwing thought for a moment, then nodded his head, "thanks again for saving me" he said then ran off.

Blaze telported down to the last spot she saw the hood, walking around and down an ally, but couldn't find him.

"Looking for something?" she heard in quite a smooth voice.

She flipped around fast to come face to face with the new Red Hood, and he looked even better close up. Granted Blaze still couldn't see his head, but his tight jeans and shirt looked great on his built body.

"Not you" Blaze finally answered in a playful voice.
