YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!

I stared intently at the news article:

'NIGHT OUT! MUSEUM DATE!'
Batgirl and Kid Flash were seen in the Art Museum. Normal hangout? Or a date that took a disastrous turn? Does our Gotham Princess need a fast hand of help or is she just head over heels for this Kid Flash?

I growled and threw the -now- crumpled paper over my shoulder.

I rested my chin in my palm.

Stupid reporters. I should've set Ragdoll on fire, at least I'd enjoy reading that!

I jumped when I heard a long loud whistle. I whipped my head around and glared at the whistler, who was looking at the article I just threw.

"How was your date, Batgirl?" Red Hood asked. "Did you guys part with a smooch?" He made a kissing noise and laughed.

My glare only hardened.

Red Hood took notice to my glare, "Hey, you've got that Batglare down!"

I bit my lip getting angrier with every word.

No, no gang wars!

"BATGIRL!" Red Hood shouted, suddenly in my face.

I yelped in surprise. He backed up and laughed. Suddenly he was gone.

What the...?

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" I heard someone shout. I knew the voice.

OH COME ON! KID FREAKING FLASH!

"GET OFF ME!" Red Hood yelled.

"I SWEAR IF YOU DID ANYTHING TO HER!" KF snarled.

I looked at the two of them as they became a huge mass of flailing limbs.

"AWW," Red Hood mocked, delivering a punch to KF's throat, KF seemed unfazed by the impact. "YOUNG LOVE!"

I could feel myself blushing.

Kill me, just kill me!

I heard pained grunting. I looked up to see KF sitting on Red Hood's back, holding the man's wrist between his shoulder blades.

"What did you do to her?" KF demanded.

"Kid Flash stop!" I snapped. I ran over and grabbed KF's shoulders, attempting to get the boy off the man. "Come on, KF. He didn't do anything."

KF turned his attention to me, "Then why did you scream?"

"I was thinking of something and he was suddenly in my face. I'm fine, I promise!"

"Oh..." he responded. He nervously grinned and carefully got off of Red Hood. "Uh...sorry, sir."

Before he was completely off the man, Red Hood slowly got up on his hands and knees.

This is not gonna be good.

KF was about to get his foot off the man's back, but Red Hood snatched the boy's ankle and stood up straight holding the speedster upside down.

"Hey!" KF snapped. "Put me down!"

"Now, why would I do that? You just attacked me," Red Hood said slowly, almost in a threatening tone.

"...because I'll cut your hand off with a bat-a-rang if you don't!" I said holding my hand back ready to throw my weapon.

Red Hood snorted, "Fine, but just because he's your boyfriend."
