~A/N~ This is dedicated to my 8 year old cousin who gave me the idea while we were at the beach, it's not very long~
I'm on a scouting mission, looking for anything that might harm us. The only thing I see is forest, the only thing I hear is the light breeze brushing the trees.
"Well, this sure is an eventful ,cough cough uneventful cough, mission." I say into my earpiece.
"At least you got one, Maxi, if Nightwing finds out I let you leave, I think he'll break his rule about not killing people." Domino's voice is slightly filled with static. I laugh into the com and get a sigh in return.
"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't know you did it, you'll be fine." I smirk at the unlikely possibility that Dick wouldn't know something, after all, he is the detective's protégé.
"Did what?" A very familiar voice says behind me. I slowly turn around to see Dick standing under a maple tree.
"I gotta go Dom, see you back at the cave." I whisper into the chip and stuff it in my pocket.
"Who was that?"
"I'm sure you already know, Dick."
His calm demeanor is not how he feels on the inside.
"I don't want you getting hurt, that's the only reason why I don't want you out here."
"I just wanted some action, it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring in there, plus with you and Logan always making sure I'm ok, I had to be alone for a little bit." He envelops me in a hug.
"I'm sorry I made it a little hard to breathe, I just didn't want you to get hurt any more." I hug him back, and he lightly kisses my forehead.
"I'm ok now, I don't think anything could make me break, but thank you for caring." I smile up at him, our hands intertwine and we start walking through the forest. A little while into our walk/scouting mission the forest floor starts turning from thick grass to dirt and fallen leaves.
I don't think Dick noticed the subtle change in foliage, but I did. It's getting harder to pick up my feet and one second later we're up to our knees in mud, or sand.
"We're sinking fast, try not to move." Dick says and I try to grab hold of the tree closest to us, but it's too far away.
"My wings, if I'm pulled out then my feathers could come off." I look at him with pleading eyes and he stops sinking at his chest his arms are free.
"I can feel solid rock beneath me but you might go down a little farther, I'll get out and get a telekinetic down here to help you out." I nod my head, but I'm down to my neck, my arms are stuck.
"I can still feel your hands, maybe I can give you a boost out." I feel him move slowly, pushing and pulling against the wet sand. I keep my hands flat as both of his boots reach them.
"Ready?" He nods his head and uses my hands to climb out. There's sand all over his body as he barely pulls himself up.
Waiting in quicksand is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever been through. Twigs break behind me as someone rushes through the forest and Dick is there with Hellion, a strong telekinetic.
"So are you going to help me or stand there?"
"I'm not that good at concentrating, so don't move." Hellion says and I can feel the sand shifting to where I can be pulled out without hurting my wings. There's a slurping sound and I'm free, he puts me down away from the quicksand and starts to walk back.
"Thanks Hellion!" I yell before he disappears through the brush.
"Man, that sure was fun." Dick says, and chuckles. I smirk at him and we continue our walk back, hand in hand.
