What I've Become : Tim Drake X Reader

Back In Black

Your P.O.V

"Wake up, girly," A guy slurred as I began to regain consciousness. I coughed, clearing my throat, then spit out the blood that had been in my mouth. I noticed I was chained to a wall, arms above my head.

One of them got close to my face, smirking, "You want to explain what you are doing here?"

I coughed again, "Well I was looking for the ladies room--."

He laughed, "Your funny, I like you." Then his laughing ceased, "But we both know what you're here for." I looked up and saw Tim larking on a few support beams near the ceiling.

Tim came to a sudden halt and watched as the men swarmed around me like a bunch of hungry sharks who haven't eaten in days. "Look boys, I don't want to cause any trouble."

"It's already to late for that, sweetheart," The guy from before whispered in my ear. "You see we have a shipment coming in any minute now, full of weapons and other goodies. Now that will get us a lot of money, but imagine how much money I'll get now that I have one of you costume freaks in captivity."

I tilted my head a little side ways so that Tim would get the idea to go find the shipment. Luckily he got my message and soon exited the room without being spotted.

I looked back to the man in front of me, a slight smirk on my face, "Sorry, buddy, I'm not for sale."

He grabbed me by my neck and looked at me blankly in the eyes, "I didn't ask." He released my neck roughly walking away and grabbing a metal rod from one of the other men, "Now, what do you say we have some fun?"

He inched closer to me as my heart started to race, that's when he pressed a button and electricity sparked from the top. He pressed it against my side and I immediately felt the volts flow threw my body.

I cried out, grinding my teeth together to keep in my screams to a minimum. I didn't want this asshole to feel too good about himself.

He pulled the rod away from my body and chuckled as my chest heaved rapidly. "That was fun," he moved around me.

I chuckled, still breathing heavily, "Screw you." He roughly jabbed the rod into my other side. I cried out in agony and cursed but it isn't the first time I've undergone torture, so I dealt with it.

That's when a man dressed in black broke through one of the many window's and began attacking the men surrounding me. Whoever this man was fought swiftly, like he had been doing it for years. Not only that, but he had a unique fighting style, one I've never seen before.

One of the men charged at the man in black, but he countered and used the guy's momentum to flip him over his shoulder. Another tried breaking a wooded board over his head, but the man blocked it, took the board from his hands and swung it at his head, knocking him out. The man in black continued his assault until all the men were out cold.

He stepped closer to me, and I, not knowing what his intentions were, pressed myself as close possible to the wall behind me. As he got closer he pulled out a lock pick and reached for the lock that bounded my hands together. I turned my head sideways to avoid any awkward contact, until the shackles that held me released me from their hold.

Before I could collapse to the ground, the man caught me. "Are you okay?" his voice was raspy, but familiar.

"I'm fine." He helped my settle down to the floor. I rested my head back against the wall and closed my eyes breathing heavily. "Thank you," I panted, but when I opened my eyes, the man in black was gone.

Tim's P.O.V.

I had finished taking out the people who were delivering the shipment and just as I guessed, the shipment was full of weapons and other gadgets. After I made sure the goons were tied up for the police, I quickly made my way inside. (Y/n) was still inside chained to the wall as men surrounded her when she had gave me a signal to go stop the shipment. And now I couldn't stop worrying.

Once I entered the building, I noticed all the men had been taken out. (Y/n) was still no where in sight. "(Y/h/n)!" I shouted frantically.

"Red," I heard her voice, horse and broken. I rounded the corner and found her, back against the wall and feet extended outward. I ran to her in a panic, scared for the worst.

"I'm so sorry," I cupped her face and looked at her apolitically, "I shouldn't have left you. This is all my--"

"Don't you dare say it." She raised an arm and peeled my mask off my face looking at me in my eyes, "I'm fine."

I let out a breath of relief and slumped forward, burring my face into the crook of her neck. She slowly caressed my back in a circular motion before I shot my head up, just realizing something, "Did you take out these men?" I looked behind me seeing the unconscious men then looked back at her.

Her eyes widened, "There was a man in black."

"Like the movie?"

"No, you nerd," she turned away, looking pretty shaken up about the topic, "he saved me. He disappeared before I could ask him any questions."

"Stay here," I put my mask back on and switched the lenses in which it could see thermal readings.

"It's not like I can move anywhere," I heard her say as I caught a trail. It first lead me outside to ladder which I guessed would take me to the roof. I grabbed onto the bars and began to haul myself upward until I stepped onto the roof and sure enough there was indeed a man in black, facing away from me and looking at the city.

"Well she wasn't lying about the close encounter," I spoke out to the man, catching his attention. I regained my seriousness and spoke more sternly, crossing my arms over my chest, "Now, who are you?"

"It's been a long time, Tim." His voice was a little gruff, but the way he spoke was as if he knew me.

I was still caught a little off guard and had to blink a few times to regain focus, "Do I know you?"

He pulled off what seemed to be a cowl of some type and turned around.

My eyes widened in shock and everything seemed to be swimming in my mind as it kept racing with many thoughts. How could this be? This can't be happening...

"Bruce?"
