This Is My Future

Chapter 13

Robin's P.O.V

I followed Future Me and Lauren down a concrete hall and to a steel door with a small window.

Lauren opened the door and Dick walked into the room. I followed him in.

"She'll be in in a minute," Lauren said before closing the door.

I looked around the room. The room was made completely of concrete. There was a long metal table in the center of the room, one metal chair sat on both ends of the table.

Dick sat in the chair closest to us. I walked to the corner of the room and leaned back into the corner, crossing my arms.

Dick sat silently staring at the table. His hands were in his lap.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

He didn't look at me, "Meeting Tigress."

"Yeah, but why?"

"Because..."

"Because why?" I asked getting annoyed.

He didn't answer me.

I frowned and rolled my eyes.

The door swung open and a woman that resembled the file picture of Tigress walked in. She didn't have her mask so I could see that she had pointed cheeks that slipped into her narrow face and pooled into a broad chin. She had a harsh scowl staining her face.

She wore a skin-tight orange jump suit. I tried not to stare when I noticed she purposely wore it with the zipper low on her chest, exposing a large amount of cleavage.

I forced myself to look at her eyes. She raised a brow at me as if saying she knew that I had been looking at her chest.

I looked at her feet quickly, but soon found myself staring at her chest again.

She was handcuffed and two police officers held her by the elbows. They walked her to the opposite chair.

She yanked her elbows free and sat in the chair. The officers stood on either side of her. She held her head over the table, her hair hanging in front of her shoulders, she looked at Dick through her eyelashes keeping her face down.

Dick looked between the two officers, "You can leave...I know how to handle a criminal."

Tigress narrowed her eyes at him.

The officers looked at Dick skeptically, one's eyes darted to me then back to Dick.

"He's safe," Dick grunted.

The officers glanced at eachother, but left silently.

Dick and I watched them as they closed the door.

I glanced at Dick as he turned back to the table. He gave Tigress a genuine smile. She returned it.

I frowned. I looked at Tigress and regretted it when I caught myself staring at her chest again.

She looked at me with a raised eyebrow again. Dick looked over his shoulder at me and gave me the same look.

I slapped my hand over my eyes, "Sorry, ma'am..."

She obviously ignored my apology. "So what brings you here, Nightwing?" Tigress asked in a feminine alto voice, sounding sweet rather hostile.

My eyes widened in panic and I dropped my hand, looking at her in shock, once again my eyes drifted to her chest. I growled at myself and I felt my face turn red, covering my eyes again.

I heard Dick snort in amusement. "Might wanna put those puppies away," he chuckled. "I think his eyes have a mind of their own."

"Screw you!" I growled.

"Nah," she said. "This place is too hot...I don't show the girls for attention. Though they do help with some stuff," I could basically hear the sly smirk on her face.

Dick chuckled not in the least uncomfortable with the conversation. "Anyways," he sighed. "I need some help."

"I can see that," she said.

I opened my fingers and looked at her, though I knew what I was going to unintentionally do. My eyes widened when I saw her leaning back in the chair, her feet on the table, and spinning the handcuffs on one finger.

"When did you get those off!?" I yelped.

"The moment you stopped looking at my breasts," she said casually, still spinning the cuffs.

I looked at Dick in panic. He looked like he couldn't care less.

"So what do you want me to do?" She asked Dick.

His face became serious, "I need some resources."

She pouted, thinking. "What's in it for me?" She asked sitting normally.

"Your freedom," Dick said leaning forward against the table.

She pouted again and leaned forward, "I'm listening."

My eyes widened more, "You can't free her! I read her file notes! She's an assassin! She's killed over-"

"Can it, shorty!" Tigress snapped bolting to her feet, "Or else I'll have a new record!"

"Sit down, Tigress," Dick said as if neither outbursts just happened. "Let's finish our wager."

Tigress narrowed her eyes at him, "Go to Hell."

He stared at her, keeping his stone face, "So is that a no?"

"Yes," she said. "I'm not helping, but I will get my freedom..."

I watched her in confusion. She reached for her thigh. I took a sharp breath, realizing she had a weapon.

She continued, "With...or without your help."

I dived to the floor as three deafening gunshots rang throughout the room. I opened my eyes and watched in horror as Tigress fell to the floor.
