Chapter 17 Work Together
Raven's POV
"Who are you two", we heard someone behind us exclaim.
"Too late", I said.
Damian and I then turned around, and saw a group of men.
"Don't worry", Damian reassured me. "Dealing with these guys will be easy."
"Listen here you two…", one of the men started as he went up to Damian.
He grabbed onto his arm, and as soon as he did, Damian grabbed onto him and kneed him in his stomach, which made him fall to the ground.
Another man then tried to come up to me, but as soon as he got close enough…Damian high kicked him in face, knocking him out.
As I was watching this…another man suddenly grabbed me from behind!
As soon as he did, I let out a burst of magic, which knocked him out.
"You seriously have a lot of tricks up your sleeve", Damian pointed out.
"Thanks", I said.
Then, I suddenly heard sirens coming from behind me. I turned around, and saw police cars pulling up in front of us.
"The police", I said.
"I sent them a signal which led to this location", Damian revealed, before walking up the the police cars. I followed him, and a man walked up to us.
"Good evening, Robin", he greeted.
"Good evening, Commissioner Gordon", Damian greeted. "I have used a gas to put the dogs being held here to sleep, and I have also secured video evidence of them being forced into a fighting ring by the people here."
"I see it's you on your own once again", the commissioner said.
"Actually, I had some help this time", Damian revealed, before gesturing to me.
"Ah, hello there Ms", the commissioner greeted, before holding out his hand to me. "My name is Commissioner Gordon. It's nice to meet you."
"Um…", I started, before shaking the commissioner's hand. "It's nice to meet you too."
"I see that Batman has added another person to his ever growing group of vigilantes", the commissioner said.
"Actually, Batman doesn't know about her", Damian revealed.
"He doesn't", the commissioner asked in shock. "Well, that's certainly an interesting development. Especially for you, Robin."
"What is that supposed to mean", Damian asked.
"Its just that, out of all of the Robin's, you're by far the least sociable one", the commissioner said. "So it surprises me that you managed to make a buddy to rescue dogs with all by yourself."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but giggle.
"What's so funny", Damian asked in annoyance.
"Nothing", I said, trying to hold back another giggle.
"Anyway", the commissioner started. "Good job on finding and rescuing these dogs, Robin. We'll take it from here."
"I hope that the dogs will be well taken care of", Damian said.
"They will be", the commissioner reassured. Then, he walked off.
"So…now what do we do", I asked.
"Want to get something to eat?"
...
After changing back into regular clothes, Damian and I headed to a fast food place.
"Good job", he said. "Not bad for your first mission."
"I didn't really help though", I pointed out. "You did most of the work."
"That's because I've done this before and knew what needed to be done", Damian stated. "I'm sure that there will be opportunities in the future for you to get more involved in the mission."
"In the future", I asked in shock.
"That is…if you wanted to join me on another mission", Damian asked.
I then thought about his question for a bit, before giving him a nod.
"Sure, why not", I replied.
"Are you sure", Damian asked. "There's a possibility that future missions will be more dangerous than this one."
"Which is exactly why I should join you on them", I stated. "So that you'll have someone to watch your back for you. Besides, we make a pretty good team, don't we?"
"A team, huh", Damian said. "I usually prefer to work alone, since working with others gets in my way. But…I didn't mind working with you."
"Thanks, I guess", I said.
"Very well then", Damian said. "Let's work together on future missions."
"Great", I said. "It'll be an honor to work with you, partner."
"Partner, huh", Damian said.
Then…he smiled ever so slightly, and I looked at him in shock.
"What is it", he asked.
"Nothing. I just…think you look nice when you smile."
When I said this, Damian's cheeks started turning pink.
"You sound just like Brown", he stated. "She's always telling me that I should smile more too."
Hearing this got another laugh out of me. And because I was laughing…I didn't notice Damian give me another smile.
