DC One Shot And Imagines I

Dinah Lance- Karate (c)

You took a drag on your cigarette before resting your elbows on your knees as you squatted against the wall, Dinah sat on the back step of the building, holding her head in her hands. Neither of you were fans of your occupations but at least working for Sionis paid relatively well and you had somewhat protection that came with your career. Even if the jobs were pretty shit, you were glad that you got to work with your girlfriend Dinah and spend time with her there as well as once work was over.

It was just a normal break from work when you noticed a woman you had met at the bar the night before being led towards the back of a van by two men. It wasn't necessarily peculiar itself, but it certainly wasn't normal. The two of you watched it unfold but the woman was drunk and trying to fight back but was failing terribly at it. You exchanged a look with Dinah before deciding to get involved and help the woman out.

A fair amount of effort was needed but somehow the two of you knocked out the men, you using the training that you had assumed you would never need to actually use outside of practices. The woman had slumped against the wall in her drunken stupor but the two of you were left a little breathless and shocked by being actually able to apprehend them.

"How the hell were you able to fight like that?" Dinah asked, bracing herself against her legs.

"I'm a black belt in karate," you stated, leaning back to try and stretch out your spine and hope that you wouldn't hurt too much in the morning.

"I didn't know that."

It wasn't something that you shared openly, nor something you tried to hide. It was a skill that you had trained for years and enjoyed it but you had lost the time and effort needed to put into it, so karate had fallen to the wayside. You wanted to take it up again but you were always able to come up with some excuse as to why it wouldn't fit in your current lifestyle even though none of those were very legitimate.

"I've not done it since we've been together. I really should try to do it more often as I'm a little rusty, but I think I did pretty well regardless."

She breathlessly chuckled at you before slapping your arm and asking you to help her get the woman into her car so that you could take her somewhere safe so that she wouldn't end up getting hurt or kidnapped.
