BLUDHAVEN (Nightwing Fan Fic)

Chapter 8 (EDITED)

~~SCARLETT~~

I don't know what came over me; I quickly moved to the sink dropping my books to the floor and washed the blood from my hand. After I cleaned the blood from my skin I could see no cuts or any injuries from when I punched the extinguisher case. I looked at the mirror before me then sigh softly before taking my books from the floor moving to the lockers. I grabbed my workout clothes that were in my backpack changing quickly and placed everything into the locker. I locked my belongings with my lock scrambling it free from my combination then exited the locker room. Blüdhaven University had the best fitness centers; it had a rock climbing wall, an obstacle course for parkour training, a martial arts place and a gymnastic section. I cracked my neck and quickly stretched heading the martial arts section seeing that there were a lot of men in the area training for their endurance. I was lucky to have a high durability and endurance levels from the years of gymnastics and martial arts training, it also helped to be a skilled parkourer of the school. I could feel myself being watched while I was preparing the flips I was about to do. I took the small staff they provided to train with while I did a no handed backflip striking the staff to the floor where I watched the bags above coming down. I struck each one before they attacked before I could finish I threw my staff at one which went astray. I gasped seeing a boy catch it like nothing before it attacked anyone where I recognized him, it was Dick again. I walked over towards him where he twirled the staff in his fingertips while the fitness instructor reset the bags.

"Nice catch. Sorry about that." I replied which he smiled shaking his head at me handing me the staff back where I clutched it firmly in my fingertips.

"You're very talented, if you can do all of that then why do you let that guy bother you?" he asked with an image of his father and Blockbuster having a conversation saying that his son would keep his eyes on me at school past through my mind.  

"You mean the Chief of the police's son? Well if that's not enough of a reason then he is also bummed out because he came in second at the National Parkourer Championship last winter." I answered throwing my staff at the instructor who caught it and placed it back into the rack. Turning back to face Dick who was looking around at the Fitness center and I crossed my arms against my chest. "So are you stalking me Dick?"

"No...nothing like that...I actually just wanted to see if you were okay after Redhorn and his lackies had said about you. Though I am surprised by this University's fitness center, it's huge." He replied I stretched my arms again when I grabbed the water bottle from the cooler downing it without a single breath to take in.

"Well our University is the National Champions at Parkouring, so the Dean of the University decided to place this obstacle course here to train its champions. Have you ever parkoured?" I asked seeing him shake his head no at me which my eyes did a quick scan of his body again. I could see his body wasn't built for Parkouring but built for more like football so he must've been on his high school's football team.

"Anyway I just wanted to make it up to you, sort of like a thanks for letting me be your partner in chemistry. We could go grab some coffee or lunch sometime?" he recommended I couldn't put my finger on why he was being nice, was this some sort of trick or was this pity?

"Look Dick, you don't have to thank me for that and I really don't want your pity okay?" I replied walking towards the punching bags taking the tape from the shelf into my hands. I peeled off a piece of tape wrapping it around my knuckles to protect my hands from blisters.

"It's not for pity Scarlett, I really want to take you out." he exclaimed I finished taping my hands placing the tape back onto the shelf and moved to the vacant bag with Dick standing behind the bag. I began to punch the bag softly with Dick holding the sides of the bag, I could picture Desmond's face before me and the angrier I got the harder I began to hit the bag.

"I'm busy this week...sorry." I answered punching the bag harder and harder feeling my anger beginning to boil inside me, my blood was surging through my veins and I watched Dick grabbed the bag tighter in his grip.

"Tell you what, you can choose a time that works for you. Besides we need to work together on the experiment so I figured we kill two birds with one stone." He exclaimed I could see his blue eyes look like a begging puppy which I hated since my father did it to my mother a bunch of times.

"Fine, I'll get back to you on it." I replied stopping my punching for the moment watching him pull out his phone for me to place my number in and I quickly punched my number into it. He took his phone back putting it into his back pocket of his jeans. "I'll see you Thursday for class then?"

"Sounds good. Have a good night Scarlett." He smiled walking away where I felt something inside me roar when I slammed my fist hard against the bag and the chain that held it up snapped. I winced back surprised when I saw Dick turn to see what happened, we locked eyes for a minute and I just took off running. I could feel the pounding feeling in my head remerge like it did when I punched the fire extinguisher case, I got into the girl's locker room and pinned my back to the wall. When I was alone I looked at my hands again; what the hell is happening to me? What the hell did my mother do to me?
