The white flare (dick Grayson x reader)

Criminal in light

I had gotten home with questions about who he was , but all I could come up with is one of Gotham's vigilantes, one I've never once seen only heard about. But I couldn't think of which one he was so I looked him up online. Article after article I read of him the Gotham's robin, I thought for a moment and said out loud to myself " what a dumb name, Ima just call ya birdy boy" so I kept thinking about what I should do next and I remembered eaves dropping on a conversation about where the criminals of this city goes to to drink so, so I set off to get there hoping to maybe get some work from fellow stealers.

When I get there I was met with several security guards who wouldn't let me pass, but me being me, and being very impatient I let a smirk come to my face " come on boys, you really don't want to get on my bad side" and conjured up one of my light shards "o-ok miss, it's just for pre-precautions, I-I didn't mean to offend you o-or anything" one of them said, as they let me through, I look around the room and suddenly all eyes were on me. It felt strange but I felt no fear, more like intense intimidation, all these "villains" all in one place and I was with them. I get to a table that had a few people at it and asked " where can I find the penguin " they all looked at me and started laughing " ha you think you could handle talking to him yet alone being in the same room as him, you got to be joking, kid" I turn to him and conjure and light shard in my hand and point it at him "does it look like I'm joking" and they all go silent, for a moment I thought no one was going to say anything but a second went by and someone came up to me and told me to follow him and that the penguin wants a word so I obliged, and went with him down a hallway to an office when the penguin was, he was waiting and as soon as I went through the door he started talking
" so, I heard you wanted to talk, so, let's talk. How does a kid your age become so feared by 7 deadly assassins in less then 2 minutes hmm?" I shrugged and said

" I don't know, maybe they are just not as deadly as you thought. But to the reason I'm here, I'm looking for jobs I can do for money, I can't do the robbing stores, it's getting old and I wouldn't mind not having robin show up and ruin my fun" he smiled

" smart for such a young girl. But one question I must ask before getting to business,how did you obtain such powers?" He asked,

and I just replied with " I was born with them"

"them?" He questioned,

" yes, I have more than just this power but no, you can not see everything" he nodded and replied with

"and I respect that I really do, you can't trust anyone in Gotham. So I would like to offer you a job, tomorrow night I need someone to break into an event at the Wayne manor, it's for an art piece on display there, would you be up for the job?"

I took a moment to think it through, but I cracked and said " yes"

" ok then, I'll send you the all the information you need for the heist and we will be, in touch"

I smile and nod "well, I'll be seeing you soon then" I didn't know then but, really I wouldn't be.

Comes the night of the heist, I'm getting ready and I see a invitation on the floor of my apartment, as well as a box and blueprints to where the painting will be, I look over them carefully then I look at the invite and on it, it has formal attire written on it as well as ' masquerade ' type thing making me look at my suit " no way, but how the hell and I going to find a mask this late" and then I open the box and see it, this beautiful mask to hide my face in. I get ready and walk out the door, but to my surprise there was a car waiting for me, I get in and was taken to the Wayne manner.

When I arrived there were people all around and once I stepped inside there were even more, I had hoped that I could sneak in and out but with this amount of people it was both a blessing and a curse at the same time, on one hand It would be easy to blend with everyone and one the other, there was lots of people watching but as I was in deep thought I was still walking forward but was stopped when I walk into something, we'll more like someone, I stumble back a bit and look up a bit the meet eyes with this boy in a suit, he had light brown hair and hazel eyes but everything came to and end when I thought he looks a bit to familiar, " hi, sorry, um, I'm sorry I wasn't looking at where I was walking and-"

" its alright no harm done" he looked down at me with a small laugh in between, while I was trying to remember how I knew him

"No no no, I should have been looking at where I was walking, and I'm really sorry" I say

As I look at him properly I see him studying me " have we ever meet before? Your voice sounds familiar"

I try find the work as I choke out " I-I don't know, that's what I'm trying to figure out, but anyways, I'm y/n "

He smiles a reply's with " dick "

I pull a confused look " sorry, what?"

He laughs nervously " no, that's my name, dick Grayson "

I look around and try to end the conversation as quickly as I can " well it's nice to meet you Grayson, but I have to go— to the bathroom! Yeah I gotta go to the bathroom so I'll see you round, byeee"

I turn around and walk off as fast as I could, going to the painting. I see it and walk beside it trying to hide a bit on the wall behind it, I duck into the shadows and use my telekinesis to slowly move the painting down when no one was looking and once I got it down I start pulling it towards me but in a second of thinking I was pulling it off I feel a sharp pain in my neck as things start to get blurry I hear a loud bang from the painting being dropped then I turn around to see the boy I was talking to before was standing there arms crossed before I start to loose any and all power to stand and to keep my eyes open, then I feel someone pick me up. That was the last thing I  remember before blacking out
