A Little Closer (A Jon Kent x Damien Wayne fanfiction)

Patrol

Dark figures framed each ally and empty street. Flickering lights and dimly lit areas made the job somewhat scarier.

Jon flew beside Damien as he ran over buildings, on watch. Nightwing was also on duty that night, but was patrolling the other end of town.

"Hey Dami." Jon whispered, coming to a halt.

"What." Damien stopped abruptly and turned to face his partner.

"You ever think of quitting this?" This question had been at the back of Jon's mind for the longest time, but he was too scared to ask.

A heavy silence fell over the two boys. Jon cringed, regretting asking Damien the question.

"You know I can't." Damien whispered. "This was what I was brought up for. I... I wouldn't know what to do without this."

Jon thought he saw a small sad smile before Damien turned and continued running.
