Promise (Raphael X Reader)

Richard Grayson in his Nightwing costume.

"So I guess you have to leave now?" I'm standing out my balcony with Raph. I'm standing in front of him. He's leaning on the railing, we're so close to each other.
"Yea, Leo is on me for being gone for basically two days."
"Sorry for getting you in trouble." I grin sheepishly.
"Not your fault, it was gonna happen either way." He shrugs.
"Well, I'll let you go. If you get into more trouble I might not get to see for a while." I joke.
"Nah, I wouldn't let that happen." He chuckles lightly, giving me that infamous smirk.
Stepping back, I let Raph go. It was dark out and we spent most of our day making sure I'm ready for school tomorrow. Taking in a deep breath I go back to my room and get ready for bed.

After leaving (y/n)'s house I think about the past few weeks. I've gotten close to her. She knows about me and my brothers, and I've gotten to know her. She's living in Bruce Wayne's mansion. With his son, two adopted sons, and a family friend of theirs Barbara, who is also dating Richard.
Granted I haven't met them yet, but I like how it's just me and her. I'm surprised we haven't gotten caught yet. None of my brothers know I'm with her and her roommates don't know who I am. For now at least.

I finally got to the manhole, quickly I go under and make my way to the lair.
"Where have you been?" Leo looks beyond angry.
"Out." I answer curtly wanting to get to my room.
"You missed last night and tonight's patrol. You know we have to keep a sharp eye on the clan." He began again. "Ugh, not this again."
"Fine, I'll make it up." I began to leave.
"Oh no you don't, you're staying home. You can go out after our patrol tomorrow." He said finalizing the conservation. As well as knowing if it went any longer I'll lose my temper.
Storming to my room, I began taking my anger out on some of the dummies I have. Usually, I would call or text (y/n), but she's probably sleeping by now.

Next Morning

"Ugh, five more minutes." I hit the off button on my phone. "Now back to sleep."
Silence fills the room once more, I drift back to my dreamland.
"Wake up, (y/n)." I hear two boys yell before jumping onto my bed.
"Dammit, Jason and Damian." I yell at them.
"I was about to go to my favorite dream."
They laugh, "Aww she still dreams about me, Damian." Jason jokes.
"Ha, in your dreams." I threw my pillow at him.
"Alright guys get ready, Barbs is making breakfast downstairs." Richard entered.
"The last one down has to listen to Barbs and Richard day yesterday." Damian shouts before running out of my room. I hop off my bed, running towards my bathroom.

Time Skip
School's halfway over, me, Jason and Damian are walking through the halls trying to find a place for us. Jason and I have all our classes together, sadly Damian decided to chose different classes from us but we have our elective classes together.
Jason told him how's our day been so far and that he should have chosen the same classes as us. "I'm not third wheeling and beside I've gotten weird looks too, the second they heard Wayne, everyone wanted to be friendly." Damian admitted.
"Ugh, why isn't there a place where we can hang out during lunch?" Jason grumbled.
"Relax, we'll find a place." Damian shrugs as we pass empty classrooms since the cafeteria was full of students and we like our privacy.
"Hey don't they have a tech lab or whatever that's supposed to be open at all times for crime scene and forensic students why not go there?" I suggest.
"Let's see if it's empty." Jason said.
I lead them downstairs to the second floor." We check if anyone was inside, no one is in here. Then we check if the door is open.
"Damn it's locked." I say, trying to open the door.
"I got this." Jason then steps to the door, kneeling down to the knob. He works on it for a bit, until. Click. He pushes the door open.
"You gotta teach me how you do that." Damian comments entering the room.
I follow second.
"Finally, so now what?" I say flopping my book bag onto the floor.
"Code red, everyone please enter a classroom and lock the doors." The intercom commands before going off.
We all look at each other, getting up I turn off the lights and lock the door. Damian grabs his cape to cover the window on the door.
"Did you bring your costume?" I question him.
"Yea, so did Jason." Damian points at him.
"Good to know I wasn't the only one." I smile at them both.
"It's the foot clan. They're entering the school at the front." Jason confirms retreating away from the window.
"You know it'll be a shame to be stuck at school longer than needed." I suggest to them, giving them a sly smile knowing that Richard couldn't say no to us about fighting in a situation like this.
They both grin at me, nodding in response. We grab our mask or cowl and sneak into the halls.

We didn't have any gear, but we're clever. Heading by the lockers I start banging on the lockers and signing my way down the hall, "girl put your love on me!"

"Girl put your love on me
'Cause I won't let you down"
My singing stops as the foot clan "found me".
Quickly I stick my middle finger up at them and rush to the closest fire escape stairway. I start singing again.
"Ay, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowance!" I made sure they were still following me down to the ground floor.

Speeding up I enter the gym, "hol' up Lil' bitch, be humble." I enter the boys' locker room and Jason passes me a bat.
"Ready?" Jason questions me with fire in his eyes, I knew he missed this.
I nod. We head out to the indoor basketball court. They enter as we were halfway down the court.
The fight began, they were only about six of them. We each take on two.
I did my high toe touch, kicking them both in the face knocking them down. Standing on top one of them, I swing the baseball bat knocking the second one out as he was getting up. Then taking the bat I aim at the blunt end of the bat and push the end to the guy I was on top of, hitting his head and knocking him out.
"Nice job everyone, but we should probably go somewhere and hide before someone sees part of our costume." Damian says leading us to the back door.

"I am standing here, in front of  Ivy League Columbia University. Where the foot clan trespassed on to university's property. It is unclear why they were here, but the NYPD did find unconscious clan members in the gymnasium. No one saw what had happened or who saved the day, but whoever they are we thank you. This is April O'Neil and I hope you stay safe New York."
