She could sense him watching her yet she does not mind, rare for a man to watch her in silence, to recognize what she could be for him, to him. The way the leather hugs her curves, the crisscross pattern of her fishnets, the gentle tugging of her boots after sliding her feet into them, and she knows it well. He wonders what she is thinking, but some mysteries are meant to be kept forever unless one risks much to unravel them. She is so slow about the finishing touch with the boots though she also appears to be taking some reverie in this ritual.
As her hips sway as she walks away from the bench, his brow arches upward, sure it had been a crazy start to his involvement with the League, but apparently Batman believes he and others like him will keep the roster honest. However he might have found another reason to stay, because he had seen her. He takes his I.D. card, ear piece, and returns to the teleport pad once back in his mended costume. She stands next to him as she is also beaming back to the surface.
"Where are you headed?" he asks.
"Home, to bed, I wouldn't want to sleep up here, too cold" she replies.
She smiles just a little before they disappear from the Watchtower to separate locations planet side. Time would pass before she crosses the doorway to the sparring room where he is busy going a couple rounds with a punching bag. He pretends not to notice her coming towards him. She comments that she knows he has been watching her.
Watch the sunrise.
Her golden flowing hair.
Say your goodbyes.
She pulls off her leather jacket.
Off we go.
Her shoulders are bare.
Some conversation.
She asks go a couple rounds.
No contemplation.
His eyebrow arches and mouth opens.
Hit the road.
She means sparring silly me he thinks.
Car overheats
She is telegraphing he tells her.
Jump out of my seat
Her kick is caught in his grip.
On the side of the highway baby
He pins her roughly.
Our road is long / your hold is strong.
The way her hair flips on the way down is distracting.
Please don't ever let go, oh no.
She is asking for his help.
I don't know you / But I want you so bad
She makes a deal, if he can pin her, he is off the hook, if not...
Everyone has a secret / Oh can they keep it/ Oh no they can't
She throws him clear across the room, towels fall on him, she offers to help him up.
He suits up, they beam down, and get on her bike.
Driving fast now / Don't think I know how to go slow / Where are you at now?
As they speed through the traffic, she says you can hold onto my waist if you want.
I feel around / there you are... holding her feels warmer than sunlight.
The meeting with Wildcat after getting the tickets does little to break him of the bad mood
brought on by having to buy tickets to Metabrawl in order to get to her old mentor.
Cool these engines / Calm these jets / I ask you how hot can it get
The argument is tense, she goes on the defensive, his mood crumbles, he feels bad about hsi behavior.
And as you wipe beads of sweat / Slowly you say "I'm not there yet!"
They turn their backs to each other, he can't resist watching her switch between outfits just as she notices his archer look. They setup to swing down into the arena. The standoff with the competitors is brief before she offers to fight Wildcat. The old fighter objects, but she insists so they are led away to a dressing room. As she stretches out he is at first captivated again by her figure, by her legs as she stretches oh so flexible could be a thought.
I don't know you / But I want you so bad / Everyone has a secret/ Oh but can they keep it / Oh no they can't
He uses a knockout gas arrow on her, which she does know it is, she mumbles then folds into his arms. She looks even more lovely asleep, she is a fighter, but she is also a woman, the kind you best be direct with otherwise you waste her time. He'll go on to fight Wildcat in her place, the old fighter objects because he would only fight her after initially objecting to that too, but he tricks this guy too making it look like he killed him. She believes it too, but appearances are deceiving.
As she cries over his fallen form, he suddenly starts moving again even with all the bruises, her tears are slowing, but clearly the flirting was more than just flirting or about helping Wildcat. She is starting to fall in love with him and so after they have coffee. This is only the beginning as she would slug Mandragora for what he said about 'Ollie' and again he would say something sappy like live to punch criminals another day Pretty Bird. Almost like an energy charged arrow or the way eyes lock together, they end up kissing in on the porch of a tree house.
The song finishes, but the story never does...
A/N 1: Something a little different with this one, played multiply scenes through the Maroon 5 song titled Secret. There is an AMV titled My Secret, which is one of many I made and uploaded online.
A/N 2: This is more so an Oliver perspective, but its balanced out with some Dinah moments.
