Hey everyone! I know I promised a Bird Boy chapter, but I honestly couldn't think of anything to write for it. Well, actually, I could, but it wasn't very good. :\ So, yeah.
This chapter was inspired by The Cretin since the Prince of Shadows thing was his idea. So, thank you!
Also, I would like to apologize for the epic shortness. I seriously had no idea what I was doing and I'm just dying to jump to the end to let my last chapter plot bunny loose. :P
LTA: Sorry I'm only replying to you now, thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
thebluecrystalrose: OF COURSE I MISSED YOU! HAHA. And yeah, I totally get your one flesh thing since I'm catholic and all that :p and its actually a brilliant idea! So thank you :D and feel free to give Kori hugs, she likes hugs. HAHAHA.
batman-defeats-all: HAHAHA. The horrors of Vicki Vale. I just hoped she wasn't too OOC, since I've never encountered her character outside fanfics before, so yeah. :P
xxellabearxx: Thank you! I'm glad you think so :D
Prince of Shadows
Following orders had never been an incredibly strong point for Starfire –after all, she was a princess and the time that she had spent as a slave was spent in silent rebellion, and so no one should have been terribly surprised when she snuck out of the Manor despite Dick's as strict orders to stay behind.
She had only wanted to check if he would be alright. Not that she doubted his, or Damian's, skills, but she knew that the Joker was a man that should not be taken lightly – and he seems to take it personally to annoy the current Batman.
She watched as he turned his cowl-covered head in her direction, watching her silently. They locked eyes for a moment, her luminescent green eyes meeting an endless pit of black the covered what she knew to be a magnificent shade of blue.
He then nodded at her subtly, acknowledging her presence, trying to tell her that he would be fine on his own. A second later, he leapt up towards the next building, blending into the darkness that the moonlight failed to expose.
As if he hadn't been there in the first place.
The way he blended in with the shadows and how he used it to his advantage – it was almost scary.
But because of that, she knew he would be fine.
OH GOD. We're almost done :O
