It's dark when I walk out of the office building. Being alone at night as a woman in Blüdhaven is generally not a good idea. I sigh and pull out my pepper spray from my purse, ready for anything. As I am walking home I pass a dark alleyway and hear someone cat-call me. I sigh and keep walking but hear him walk up behind me. "Hey I was talking to you," he says as he gets closer to me.

I grip my pepper spray tighter in my hand and turn around to face him. As I am bringing up my mace the guy is knocked down by a flash of blue and black. With a gasp I watch the man get knocked out by who I think is Nightwing. He's a new hero to town, showed up about five months ago and started cleaning up the house. Things have been a lot better since he showed up.

Once done Nightwing looks up at me while I am still holding on to my mace. He looks between me and the can and says, "I promise I am not going to hurt you."

I look at my hand before putting the can down and setting it back in my purse, "right sorry". As I look at him I can see he's not too much older than me maybe two or three years but still very young to be the sole hero of Blüdhaven.

Nightwing gives me a soft smile, "need a buddy to walk you home?"

I smile back at him and laugh quietly to myself, "Sure why not". We turn and walk toward my apartment building.

He turns to me and asks, "What's a pretty girl like you doing out here all by herself this late at night? Walking home from a date or something?"

I shake my head, "No, just got caught at work later than I intended."

"Where do you work?"

"I'm a software developer for the Blüdhaven branch of Wayne Enterprises."

"Nice sounds like fun"

"Yeah, it is actually. Oh, here we are," I say as we approach my building.

"Looks like a nice place. Mind if I get your name?" Nightwing asks with a smug smile.

"You ask all the girls that?"

"Only the cute ones." His smile growing.

A small blush goes over my cheeks, "Daisy. My name is Daisy."

"Well, Miss Daisy it was nice to meet you. Have a nice night." Before I can thank him he disappears when I glance away for a second and a small piece of paper falls to the ground in his place. I pick it up and it says 'Text me' with a phone number below. Smiling at it I walk into my building and up to my apartment.

After I get cleaned up and eat dinner I look at that piece of paper again, 'why not?' I pick up my phone type in the number and text 'Hey this Nightwing?'

A few moments later he texts me back 'Whose asking?'

'Daisy from earlier. You still out saving cute girls?'

'Ah got it just needed to double check who's got my number. And nah everything else was doing ok so I headed home. What you up to?'

'Just got done with dinner and I was about to watch some TV till I fell asleep.'

'Nice. Want some company?'

A blush spreads over my face as I respond, 'Sure why not? I'm in apartment 334.'

'Cool I'll bring snacks be over in 15.'
