BLUDHAVEN (Nightwing Fan Fic)

Chapter 16 (EDITED)

~~SCARLETT~~

I should've guessed that I would see this 'Nightwing' again trying to stop me from going after Desmond but he knew how powerful I was I hope he had something stronger than those escrima sticks of his. I also hoped that he upgraded that suit with more kevlar especially in the torso area because I was going to be hitting him a lot harder than before. I had my own weapons that my father and mother created along with other tools to help me against Desmond when the time came.

"I see you didn't heed my warnings hero?" I replied with my one hand slipping into the harness grabbing two ninja stars and I took the small staff with my other hand.

"I can't let you kill Desmond, even if he has your mother you won't be able to touch him." He exclaimed I felt a sharp pain stab me in the stomach, how could he know about my mother no one knew anything unless Chief Redhorn told him.

"Look who has been doing their homework, I should've known that you'd figure it out eventually but no matter I'll take you down along with Desmond." I hissed I threw the first ninja star at him where he used his one escrima stick to dodge it before I threw my staff down at him. No matter how well he was skilled I would be able to stop him, he blocked a few attacks and threw some of his own. He managed to get one elbow into my chest and swung my leg from under me sending me crashing to the floor but I managed to back flip away.  

"I'm trying to protect you from him. He's dangerous he'll kill you and your mother before you can get close to him." He replied I paused seeing that he wasn't going to let me pass that easily, I saw a dark figure slowly creeping up behind him which I knew it was one of Desmond's men. I decided to walk towards him and he didn't move away from me almost like he trusted me. I touched his chest with my fingertips where I could feel his chest stiffen by my touch it almost felt familiar but I couldn't place it.

"Protect me? A young guy like yourself, you have no idea what he is capable of but I do." I whispered pulling out a ninja star without his knowledge grabbing his uniform pulling him closer to me. I lightly pressed my lips to his catching him off guard where he didn't push me away where I looked seeing the man pointing the gun at 'Nightwing'. I pushed him to the ground when the man fired the gun throwing the ninja star at the man, the star hit his hand knocking the gun from his hands and the bullet went into my shoulder. I stumbled backwards hitting the wall but I couldn't feel anything where 'Nightwing' knocked the man out. I watched as he tied the man's arms and feet together preventing him from escaping when he saw me slowly gasping a small bit. I pressed my fingers into the wound pulling the bullet from shoulder dropping it to the ground before pressing my fingers against the hole in my shoulder.

"You saved me?" he replied I could feel my blood against my fingertips, the sticky texture of the wound started to close up slowly with my new healing before I forced myself up feeling only numbness.

"I guess my debt is paid." I exclaimed walking backwards into the shadows before back flipping off the roof escaping from the scene. I landed into the alleyway rushing to the wall pinning my arm against it where I pulled the sweatshirt to see the bullet wound stopped bleeding but the wound was still visible. I guess maybe the wound needed a little more time to heal though I was not going to be able to go after Desmond injured, Desmond can live another night. I traced my lips with my fingers remembering the kiss I pressed on Nightwing's lips, they were soft and warm to the touch. I pulled up my sweatshirt sleeve rushing back to my house leaving Desmond Corporations and Nightwing behind me for the night.
