(Dc Jason Todd) Wrong Number

Little Bird

Milou sighs as she scrolls through her international news feed. She spots a photo of Red Hood being thrown out of a building and just giggles. She knows his expression under the mask is probably tired yet calculated. She can tell he's already reaching for his grappling gun. He told her about the incident already but seeing it is much funnier. She saves the picture and hums as the communication link in her ear goes of with a tone. Lucas' voice comes in from the other side.

"Movement on the south dock. Clayface and a few gangsters, think you can handle it?" Lucas asks and Milou sighs.

"It's only supposed to be gangsters- why'd fuck face have to show up," She says to herself before getting up before confirming she's on the move.

She's watching the deal go down when she feels movement behind her, and it's only a matter of seconds before she has her gun pulled on none other than Robin. She curses and lowers the gun.

"Trying to get shot kid?" She scolds him quietly and his expression is hard as stone.

"Like you could shoot me, back off of this," He says and Milou scoffs.

"I'm trying to do my job. You can help if you want," She says turning back to the men and she can almost hear the young boy growl.

"You're in over your head."

"Boy if I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me," she sighs before pointing.

"Who do you want kid?" she asks and Robin looks at her bewildered before answering.

"Clayface- and my name is Robin," he sneers and she gets up.

"Sure little bird, lets just get this over with," she says and Robin resists every urge he has to push this girl off of the roof.

He recognizes her voice though. Attitude and the gear. Jason has been working with her. He wonders what makes this girl special before they jump into the fight. He's surprised with how well she does taking down most of the gangsters as he focus on Clayface. It's going well until he's thrown against a few crates. One of Clayface's long and heavy limbs coming at him to swipe. He has little time to get up but is quickly yanked by his cap up and out of the way by Milou who tosses a flash bang into the mud of the limb. The two ducking as it goes off severing it from the villian's body.

"Hope you have freeze charges," Milou says and Robin tosses her some.

"Go for the legs and I'll take his head," he says and Milou just nods.

The two dashing forward and taking on the monstrous man. It takes a few minutes but one he's covered in the freeze charges Robin hits the detonate button and the mud man's body begins to freeze. Milou moves out of the way yet is still kicked a good few yards by the man as his last action before becoming a dirty popsicle. Milou groans as she lays on the ground and catches her breath. Robin comes to stand over her.

"You good there?" he asks and she nods.

"Yeah just... taking a breather," she says before grunting and getting up.

"No wonder hood hangs around you," he remarks and she looks at him.

"Ah I was wondering when someone would say something," she huffs and Robin scoffs.

"Batman is sure to pay you a visit," he says and she laughs.

"Oh man am I not ready for that lecture," she laughs before freezing at another voice.

"I'm sure you're not," It says gruffly.

She doesn't have to turn around to know it's batman behind her. She waits as he scolds Robin.

"I told you to wait for me on Clayface," he says and Robin puts his hands on his hips.

"I handled it, besides I found Hood's friend," Robin replies and Milou feels like she's stuck in a father son argument.

"We'll talk about you decision making later. Ms Shaw," the voice says expectantly and Milou turns to the large and brooding man.

She's always hated the cowl. The way he looked at her. The vibrations that he gave off. It all put her into disease. She looked at him tiredly. She didn't need this now. In fact she sure would love to skip this conversation and just never have it. But unfortunately she didn't have a choice. Maybe that's why she didn't like the Batman. He never gave them a choice. It was always his way. Milou hated it when she didn't have a choice and she was sure everyone did. That's probably why Commissioner Gordon was always peeved with Batman. Though she was sure he put up with it because it usually worked out.

"Batman, long time no see," She says and he hums.

"I've been busy," he says lowly and she nods.

"I could tell, what do you want?" she says bluntly. She just wants it to be over.

"You've been working with the Red Hood," He says and she shrugs.

"He's been working with me. I keep my nose out of his business. He likes to stick his in mine," she replied and he narrows his eyes.

"And I'm sure you two are good friends by now with how long it's been going on," he says and Milou groans.

"You know what, no. Stop. Time out." She huffs and he looks at her peeved.

"I'm not about to have you lecture me on how dangerous he is and trying to get answers of why I'm working with him. Because one, I know how dangerous he is I work with him, and two, it's none of your goddamn business if the Red Hood decisions to help in a city investigation because you sure as hell like to do everything on your own!" she puffs and he looks at her.

"You done?" he asks and Milou huffs.

"Probably not but go ahead," She huffs annoyed.

"If you're comfortable with him fine. Him and I aren't' on the best terms but we're on terms nonetheless. If you two are working cases then stick to them. I don't like it when cases over lap," He says and Milou sighs.

"Well. I legally have jurisdiction, over my cases and the ones they overlap. So you telling me to back off when I just so happen to bump into you is bull shit. I'm just trying to do my job. So I will not back off if our cases overlap. I will not take orders from you but I will work with you to close cases. SO! If that's all you wanted to bitch about I think I'll be going to arrest these men," She says pointing to the score of unconscious gangsters who are scattered over the dock.

She moves past him annoyed beginning to zip tie the men's hands. Knowing Lucas has already called for additional emergency services. Batman smirks inwardly. He can see why she and Jason get along. And with her streak of success along with her partner. He doesn't mind sharing some things. He just hopes her attitude towards him will changed. Eventually.

He let her handle the men while he and Robin stabilized Clayface. To cold and he'd shatter. They wanted him in Arkham not in pieces. Milou was gone much before them as they stayed to make sure Clayface couldn't pull anything. When they were finished Bruce pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and texted.
