New Chances - (Nightwing x OC)

Chapter 4

Wednesday - 7.30 am

POV KAYLA

After last night I was barely functional. I didn't get home until 3:30 am, and got to sleep about 4:30. It felt that as soon as I fell asleep, my alarm clock went off. I remember that I had decided against having a shower last night. Now, I seriously regret that. I felt sticky and hot, and just all round gross. 

I started my normal morning routine, and was out the door at the usual time. I never usually wore make up to school. However, the past 24 hours had made it a must.

Wednesday Night - 11.00 pm

School was the same as every other day. Long and annoying. There were times when I had to remind myself to be nice, when really all I wanted to do was bite their head off. I guess that comes with the rough night and lack of sleep. 

I was an hour into patrol. You might be wondering as to why I was out, when I had already experienced a tough 24 hours. I  had a huge debate with myself, instead of doing my homework. I decided that I would stick to rooftops and quite areas. I didn't need to be bringing attention to myself. It was reasonably quite tonight. Just a couple of guys searching through trash and annoying people. Surely something that Batman and Nightwing could take care of. 

I was almost home, ready for a much needed early nights rest, when the famous pointy ears and long black cape caught my eye.

"What can I do for you tonight boys?" I said, as I met them around the corner. On other nights I had never noticed how broad the Bat and his bird boy were. Nightwing seemed to be of an average height. However, the Bat was taller than I thought he was. Clearly a major feature for scaring crooks and thugs, when combined with the darkness of his attire. 

"Am I right to say that a purse snatching, stopped you from following us, the other night?" The Big Black Bat questioned.

"Um? Good evening to you too. Yeah, I would think so. I mean, it's not like I saw you two rushing in to help." I remarked. The Batman can get all the respect he wants. But there's a way that he 'asks' for it. 

Finally, the blue bird spoke up. "What Batman is really trying to say is; Thank you for saving that lady. And although he may hate to admit it, he was impressed by your efforts."

"She could've handled the situation better, and stealthier." I huffed at the man's remark.

"Easy for you to say. You have all this fancy software and technology. Some even embedded into your suit! So of course I'm not going to be that stealthy. I'm literally wearing a black pair of jeans, black oversized hoodie, and a cheap pair of non-slip shoes!" As the words left my mouth, it's almost as if I saw Batman taken back, for the first time. 

He quickly regained his posture. "Well then. How do you expect to complete the task, if you don't have the right tools?" 

All I wanted to do was get changed and climb into my bed. Instead, I'm standing in a dark, cold and wet alley, whilst being interrogated by a grown man in a black bat costume!

"Look, Batman. You're one of the greatest detectives in the world. So surely you know that I was taken down to the police station last night for questioning. So if you wouldn't mind, I'm going to go and sleep. But only if you're finished interrogating me?" I snapped. 

Silence. 

"Great. You two have a safe and happy night, and I'll be on my merry way." 

With that I turned around and climbed up the ladder to my window, sliding inside and locking it shut. I never liked to close my blinds. However, the Batman was 100 metres below my window, and I didn't fancy anymore visits from him tonight. 

I got changed and jumped into bed. Happy that I was actually going to get a full nights sleep.
