Bloodlines (Nightwing x Reader)

Chapter 4: Demon Inside

Nightwing's P.O.V

She kicked me back into a tree, the knife glinting dangerously in her hand. She ran towards me quickly, I grabbed her arm flipping her over my shoulder. I straddled her waist and threw the knife from her hand. Soon after I pressed a tracker on my wrist signaling the team.

"Why are you doing this?" I questioned, "This isn't you."

"Oh it isn't? Because last time I checked, this was my other half. Well, before I started ignoring it. Now I have two instincts, Brain helped make this one stronger."

"With what, the serum?" I asked, I had to stall until the team got here to back me up, I couldn't her on my own, I was extremely lucky she hadn't used her powers yet.

"You could say that," she leaned up and did something unexpected, she kissed me.

I couldn't help but kiss back, a part of me knew it wasn't her, but at the same time, here I was, on top of (Y/n). I ran my hands up her clothed thighs, her new uniforms skirt riding up. She flipped us so she was on top of me and I grabbed her hand before it could reach the knife.

"Nice try."

Someone tackled (H/n) off of me. I jumped up letting out a sigh of relief. Robin and Batgirl were struggling to hold her down and avoid the fire coming out of her clenched fists. Robin pulled out a needle and stabbed it into her arm, injecting whatever was in it into her bloodstream.

"Sedative, found it in the lab." He explained.

I picked up (H/n)'s limp body carefully, her sleeping face held a peace that was hard to find when you're a hero.

"I'm calling the bio-ship and the super cycle now." M'gann informed us.

"Why was she... attacking you?"

I cleared my throat awkwardly, we weren't exactly fighting while the team was making their way to us. I hoped they hadn't seen anything before me stopping her from grabbing the knife again.

"The serum Brain gave her brought the demon back," I sighed loudly taking her into the bio-ship. My hand grazed her cheek lightly.

"I love you (Y/n), I almost lost you 5 years ago, and I don't want that to happen again."

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

I woke up tied to a chair in the caves den. The team surrounded me, worry shining in all of their eyes.

"What happened to you Hermana?" Jaime questioned. I moved my wrists, it was a generic fireproof metallic rope, not much I could do about it, I'm sure they thought there was no way I could get out of it. They underestimated me.

"I don't know what you mean." I stated innocently.

"You're acting, evil." Garfield shuddered.

"I can give you my word, I'm not evil." The team seemed to relax, my word was a strong, trustworthy one. "I'm wicked, and like it or not that's the side that wins."

"You didn't escape did you?" Wally asked quietly, "It was set up. The scorch marks, the windows, the water, everything."

"Guilty," I announced with a nod, "Got you to believe it though didn't I?"

"How do we get the real (Y/n) back?" M'gann questioned, she seemed wary, she didn't want to go into my mind. We both knew that 1. I was immune to stuff like that due to the constant physical and mental torture when I was younger. 2. If she went into my mind I could pull up an old torture memory and she would feel it too.

"You didn't ask very nicely." I pouted mockingly.

"I will not hesitate to send you to Arkham!" Nightwing spoke up with a growl.

"You speak to your mother with that mouth? Oops I forgot." The old team and Robin looked at me with shock, I said that sentence with a casualty that made it seem like it was a hello. "Anyways, all it takes is twue love."

"Sounds like a fairytale." Conner scoffed.

"Very much so, but it's true. Besides, our lives aren't exactly entirely realistic either." I twisted my hands and pulled, making the ropes fall limply around me. I stood up and showed my free hands to the team, "Now, about curing me. All I need is a kiss from loverboy."

Nightwing seemed to recover from his previous shock, "I kissed you earlier, why didn't that work."

I stepped closer and whispered, so those who didn't have super hearing on the team couldn't hear, "That was lust, not love." When I stepped back Superboy was a flustered mess, superhearing isn't always a good thing.

"Why are you telling us this?"

"It isn't my time to shine, not yet at least."

Nightwing stepped forward and put his lips against mine. Unlike the last kiss, this one was full of love, not lust.

It was as if my mind was clear for the first time. I quickly hugged everyone as a chorus of 'welcome backs' went around. I hugged Nightwing last.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

"It wasn't your fault."

I looked over his shoulder, and paled. Sand was coming together to from a figure. Not just any figure, my figure. But when I saw the black eyes I knew it wasn't exactly me.

"You okay?" Nightwing asked me, holding my shoulders lightly.

"Fine," I lied, my voice strained, "Everything's fine."

I continued to look at the newly formed figure. She had grown and matured just like I had, she had a different outfit on, but still knew who it was.

B.E.M was back.

She was supposed to be gone for good.

"Oh honey," she tutted, as if she read my mind, of course she did, she's from my mind, "I never left."
