(Dick's pov: Three days later)

"Come on, Spade! You know I have to take you in," my partner says as she keeps her gun aimed at him. He's a 6'4 blonde lunatic who happens to be one of my good friends/ allies.

Unfortunately, him and his crew are surrounded by Blüdhaven PD , for selling and receiving illegal weaponry. We're by the shipping yard where the shipment arrived.

"Sorry, sweets. I'm bein' set up," he says with his hands up.

"Okay, you're being set up. Step away and we can work this out together downtown," Our commissioner says through the megaphone. He looks so mad he could spit bricks. Our lieutenant looks like she could do the same.

Spade and his crew slowly step away from the crates. Before they could get close to us, Penguin's men jump out of nowhere and start shooting.

I tackle my partner down to cover her head from the gunfire. A sudden thick root plants itself between us and the gunfire almost acting like a shield. Acacia flips herself over the root and talks to the commisioner.

"What the hell-" Acacia hushes him up with one look.

"Commissioner, this is a hostile environment, I swear to you we will get these men to your jail cells in 45 minutes," Acacia glances my way and rushes over.

"You're a cop too?" She whispers to me. "I'll explain later, we gotta get them out of here," I whisper back to her. My partner glances at her and then at me.

"Seriously, Dick?" She rolls her eyes as I pick her from the ground. "Trust me, it's not what you think," I tell her. Just as she's on her feet a big explosion rocks us against the cop car.

"Oi' ya workin' wit those blokes now, huh?" Penguin's gruff voice grates through the sounds of gunfire, and the bombs.

"Thanks by the way ya arsehole. You got me ma weapons," Penguin winks at Spade as he signals his men to stop.

"Ya, talkin' to me LIMPY?! BOY'S FUCK 'EM UP!" Spade commands. Spade's crew let out ragged battle cries as they start fighting with Penguin's men.

"Shit, Lieutenant, we need to get the fuck out of here,"I say into the radio inside of the cop car.

"Hell no, you think we're going to listen to some damn villains? After this is over we're arresting them all," she yells on the radio. My partner's face turns red with anger as she snatches the radio out of my hand.

"LOOK LIEUTENANT! You will not risk the lives of these men and women just to save your damn pride! She gave us an opportunity to retreat, so take it! Unless you don't want to get blown to pieces, FOLLOW HER FUCKING ORDERS!" She slams the radio into its slot and starts to pace.

"I can't believe I said that? Why would I say something like that? I need my job!" She starts to spiral into all of the things that could happen and I just put my hands on her shoulders.

"You're fine, they'll walk it off in the morning," I quickly push her behind me as some of the Penguin's thugs hop over the root. But...these aren't his ordinary thugs. These motherfuckers are huge.

"Ya thought I wasn' prepared? Meet my la'est experiment," Penguin laughs. The steroid-laced thugs swipe at the cops, sending some of them flying. Acacia catches them before they hit the ground, and races towards the big men. She slides underneath  one of them and flips them over.

One of the big dumbos head toward us, so we quickly aim our guns at them and start firing. "The bullets aren't working!" My partner yells.

"Use your attitude then," I chuckle.

"Not fucking funny," she glares at me, but I flash her a smile.

"Love you too. I need to get something out of the car! Don't aim for the chest area that's the strongest point," I tell her. I rush over to the car to grab my taser and the earpiece I use for when I'm patrolling as Nightwing. I activate it and Tim's voice runs through my ear.

"Yo," Tim answers.

"I need you're help. What's the quickest way to disable steroid enhanced men?" I say as I reload my gun. I run back to my partner and toss her the extra clip.

"Are you asking as Nightwing or as a police officer?" Before I can answer a car flies through the air. I flip out of the way, barely missing it by several centimeters. Damn I'm getting old.

"Just give me an answer, dammit!" I yell as I knock my partner out of the way of another flying car.

"No one can resist an electric pulse. Since the only electrical thing you have is a taser and not your escrima sticks, you have to hit them at a weak spot-" Another explosive rocks the ground, and I fall on my ass.

"Yeah yeah, skip to it," I rush him. I hide behind a remaining squad car and take out my taser.

"I'm getting to it. Their necks are usually a good area- No no sweetie, that's not a toy."

"Thanks, Tim" I tell him as I turn on my taser on the highest level.

"KAT!" I yell to my partner.

"YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD IDEA! I'M OUT" She screams as she runs over to where I'm at.

"I do have a plan just trust me," I tell her everything about how to take the guys down as she looks at me with wide eyes. She then smirks as she leans her head against the car. She pulls out her taser and sets it up to the highest level.

"If we survive tonight coffee is on you!" She smiles.

"Deal."

(Meanwhile Tina's pov)

"Mom, I'm perfectly fine. I'm passing my classes, I'm designing clothes, I have a great boyfriend, and I have friends," I reassure her. I lay out my materials for the next blanket I'm going to make. I have a thing for blankets.

"I know and I love all those things, Tina, but that doesn't stop me from worrying," my mother says. I can imagine her crocheting something right as we speak.

"I know, Mama. I'm happy, I'm safe, and I love you," I tell her as I sit down at my sewing machine.

"I love you too, honey. Well I gotta go, I'll talk to you next week. Same time?" She asks. My eyes tear up as I nod.

"S-Same time," I tearfully end the call and my eyes. Oh no. I'm getting homesick all over again.

I run my hands over the picture of my friends and softly smile. I miss them so much.

My phone rings and I see that it's my friend Cosmo. I answer and immediately a smile hits my face.

"Hey, what's up?"

"We're having game night at my place are you down?" She asks. If she's there that means Jason and Beanie are there. I couldn't separate those three with scissors if I wanted to. I could use a pick-me-up right about now.

"I'm down," I smirk.
