Prompt: Kaden, as Robin, meets a Cat vigilante (I altered it a little bit)
Dick - 42
Jason - 39
Kaden - 16
Damian - 26
Note: For anyone wondering about their names "Ambush" and "Streak", tigers are solitary creatures, but when they group together, they're called a "Streak" of tigers or an "Ambush" of tigers.
Kaden Todd-Grayson (a.k.a Robin, Boy Wonder) sailed through the air behind Batman, decked out in the red, black, and yellow of Robin. They had been in the middle of patrol when Bruce informed them of a robbery-in-progress at a Jewelry store in Uptown Gotham. Kaden was naturally thrilled because that meant more action. Damian was stone-faced as always though Kaden suspected that he enjoyed being Batman much more than he let on.
"There it is. Stay close and keep your guard up," Damian told him as he landed on the roof of the store. Kaden rolled his eyes but gave a nod in acknowledgment. The duo approached the skylight which had a hole cut into it. Damian dropped down first, followed by Kaden. The two of them switched on their night vision and began the search for the jewel thieves.
The place was eerily silent as they made their way through the building, looking for the culprit. Kaden had an escrima stick and a brass knuckle on hand, ready for combat. Then they heard a laugh and followed the source. There they found-
"Catwoman?" Damian asked in an even tone. Indeed, a girl with long, dark brown hair turned around, dressed as a cat. In one hand, she had a bag, and in the other, a whip.
"Mmmm, Catwoman. Now there's a woman who had taste. Look at you," the girl replied, giving a cat-like purr at Damian. She glanced over at Kaden and chuckled in amusement. "And you? Well damn, Boy Wonder got cuter since the last one," she added.
"Hand over the jewels, Catwoman," Damian barked, holding out his hand and glaring at her. The girl's smile faltered and then she tsk'd.
"Mmm, I think not. And for the record, my name is Streak," she replied with a smug grin.
"Streak?" Kaden asked with a snicker of amusement.
"And Ambush," came a male's voice from above them. Kaden and Damian looked up just in time to see a young man, roughly Kaden's age, garbed in a black cat costume dive down upon them. Kaden and Damian dived out of the way as the young man landed, weapons at the ready. He joined Streak, hand on his hip and flashing a smug grin. Streak wore leather pants and a top with a cat mask and a whip, whereas Ambush wore a one-piece leather outfit, equipped with claws, and an open cowl, with blue goggles over his eyes, and medium length platinum hair coming out of the top of his cowl.
"Streak-"
"And Ambush-" They each spoke in turn, saying the other's name. They flashed a look at each other and then a grin, bumping fists before turning their attention back to the Dynamic Duo.
"I'll take the tall, serious and handsome one," said Streak. Ambush licked his lips as he eyed Kaden.
"Cool. Then I get the cute one in the red," he said with a purr. With that, the two of them attacked their opponents.
Kaden blocked Ambush's strike with an escrima stick and retaliated with an uppercut. Ambush backflipped once to avoid the attack before rushing in again, swinging a leg at the teen. Kaden sidestepped to avoid the attack, shoving at the other's leg and throwing him off balance, then landing a punch to his side. Ambush gasped and flipped back again, licking his lips as he widened his stance and eyes Kaden as if he were prey, grinning devilishly.
"Mmm, not bad. Your even cuter when you fight," Ambush purred. Kaden flushed pink a bit, then growled and rushed his opponent. He and Ambush traded blows for a time, and both of them realized the other was holding back. "It's almost as if we're dancing. I rather enjoy a good dance, don't you?" Ambush purred, swinging a claw at Kaden. Kaden deflected the blow with an escrima stick and snorted.
"Are we fighting, or flirting?"
"Can't we do both?" Ambush replied, catching Kaden off guard and sending him crashing to the floor with a spin kick. Before Kaden could recover, Ambush was on top of him, pinning him to the floor.
"Well, well, well. What have we here? The cat's cornered the little bird," he taunted, licking his lips.
"Or so the cat thinks," Kaden replied with a smirk, flipping Ambush over his head and pushing himself onto his feet. Ambush skidded across the floor as he regained his balance, quickly retaliating and pinning Kaden against the wall.
"Or so he knows," Ambush replied. Kaden opened his mouth to reply, but before he could get a word out, Ambush kissed him! Kaden's face burned crimson as the other male pressed his lips against his own. Completely taken off guard, he stood there, stupefied for several long moments as Ambush made his escape.
"Damn, lost the jewels! Ambush, let's get out of here!" Streak called from the roof. Ambush glanced back at Kaden and gave him a wink as he climbed back up to the roof, Streak reaching for his hand and pulling him up.
"Let's do this again sometime, little bird," Ambush called back. Kaden shook his head and reached for his grappling gun, firing a line up after Damian. The two of them reached the roof and watched as the two cat burglars escaped into the night.
"Ugh, stupid and careless mistake," Damian muttered to himself. He glanced over at Kaden whose face was still red and a goofy grin on his face. He followed Kaden's line of sight to Ambush's retreating form and made a sound of disgust. "Ugh, really? First father and now you?" Kaden shook his head and pulled himself from his thoughts.
"What?!" he asked innocently. Damian shook his head and pulled out his grappling gun, firing it across the way.
"Nothing. Forget it. Let's go, Boy Wonder."
