My light in the darkness ((Dick Grayson x OC))

Chapter nine ~Richard~

We got back to HQ only to find Batman waiting for us. 

"Nightwing we're leaving the rest of you go rest." He walked past us towards the exit and I quickly hurried after him not bothering to ask questions until we were in the batmobile. 

"Where are we going?" 

"The Iceberg Lounge."

"Why?" 

"Gotham Pharmaceuticals had one of there buildings destroyed a few hours ago and a large batch of a new drug of theirs was stolen." 

"Do you think this was Penguins work or do you think he knows who did it?" 

"It was Penguin." 

"How do you know?" 

"He has a new card up his sleeve he hasn't told anyone about." His hands tightened around the wheel when mentioning this.

"What type of card?" 

"I don't know yet." He started to drive faster and I took this as a que to stop asking questions. If Penguin had a new weapon that we didn't know about it made him unpredictable. Fifteen minutes later we can to a stop in front of the lounge. We exited the car and walked up to the door letting ourselves in. Buissness had not yet started so it was empty and evey step we took echoed loudly around the large open main room. 

"Well, well, well if it isn't Batman and grown up little boy wonder.  Welcome to my humble abode." His english accent thicker then usual. 

"Penguin. Give back the drugs you stole."

"Now why would I do that." 

"Because I can shut your entire buissness down and put you in jail."

"Hmm but you wouldn't because of me I've given you information about other criminal kingpins." 

"Either give back the drugs or tell me about the new card you have up you sleeve." Be asked this caused a large almost psycotic grin to spread across his face. 

"Death darling come down here and meet our guest." 

Death? Why did that name sound so familiar? There was a the sound of footsteps echoing near the second story balchany coming closer until a girl grabbed the rail and flung herself over it. My eyes widened. What the fuck was she thinking!? Before I could move to do something she landed gracefully on her feet standing straight up. She was wearing a mask that covered her eyes, a lose purple crop top, a pair of black shorts, and combat boots up to her knees. She tucked a strand of her black hair behind her ear before looking at Penguin. 

"You called master."

"Death meet the batman and of course you already know Nightwing." She smirked at me sending me a playful wink. 

"Oh of course I know him exceptionally well." I felt my face start to burn as kept a stoic expresstion. Batman threw me a glance before looking back at Death. 

"This is your new card. She looks like a child." 

"Shes a very good fighter Batman you'd be suprised, I mean she distracted and fought a few of your Jr. Justice brats." Pengiun smirked. Batman tensed next to me. 

"So this is who you work?" She turned towards me and nodded. 

"Yes, are you surprised birdy?" She started walking towards me until she was only and inch or two away. 

"Because if you are I hate to inform you but I'm full of them b-ir-dy." She said purred letting her hands glide up my chest. I gulped trying hard to keep my hands to myself. What the hell was she doing to me? Why was I getting so flustered around her? Why was it that she made me want to slam her up against a wall and show her that I could be controlling to? I felt her arms wind around my neck and her cold warm breath brush against my ear. 

"And fyi I love to play rough." She nipped my ear before turning around and walking back towards Penguin whispering something and leaving but not before blowing me a kiss and laughing. Pengiun smirked.

"I gave you what you wanted Batman. Now if you don't mind I have a buissness to open in a few minutes and still have to get ready so if you could make you leave that would be much appreciated." 

Batman turned and walked away and I quickly followed after. We got back in the car and drove. The longer we drove the thicker the tension in the car grew. 

"Why didn't you tell me you knew her?" He growled.

"I didn't know she worked for hi, she was a petty theif, I didn't think it important." 

"God damn it Greyson! Does it seem important now!" 

"Yes it does.." 

"When we get back to the manor you will  tell me every one of her abilities and her fighting style." 

"Yes sir." I nodded letting the cabin fall back into silence.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we got back to the manor I began listing off every things she had shown. 

"Flight, control over shadows, expert aim, close combat, and extremely flexible." 

"Flaws?"

"Fights only around mid-day or night time, is cocky and can't think and fight."

"What do you mean she can't think and fight?"

"She fights on instinct so if you start talking to her or questioning her she slows down or completly stops but..." I scrunched up my face pausing for a moment.

"But what?" Bruce asked impatiently.

"When she stops she seems anxious and paranoid almost and her powers take over and react on their own." 

Bruce nodded thoughtful before standing up and placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you Richard, get some sleep you have school tomorrow." He walked out leaving me to sit in alone with my thoughts for a moment before standing up and retiering to my room.
