Save Your Sin || Dick Grayson [2]

25| War in Gotham

***

It was dawn when I finally arrived at the abandoned building that I called home. I felt stupid an naive all over again. In a ridiculously embarrassing way I felt the same as I did the night that Dick first kissed me over a year ago.

I hated how right it felt when I was with him. How I wished I was still with him now.

But I locked away all those feeling as I stepped into the warehouse, surprised that Ivy and Harley were talking in a serious tone.

"I thought you'd still be asleep." I commented as I leaned against the wall. They were used to her coming back at late hours, so they had to be up for a different reason.

"Kind of hard to sleep when the city is about to get burned to the ground." Ivy commented casually in a bored tone, which greatly opposed Harley who was practically jumping with excitement.

I was momentarily stunned by Ivy's words unsure if us was meant to be a joke or if she spoke seriously. But I knew better Ivy wasn't the type to make jokes. "What are you talking about?"

"So who's the new guy?" Harley questioned as she waltzed into the room. I had been hoping that the girls would be asleep, although I obviously didn't plan on telling them the direction that my night had taken a part of me still felt their judgment.

"What Harley?"

"Ya have this after sex glow." She continued as she motioned to her face with a giant grin. "You know the kind you get after good sex."

"Got tired of Lawton that quickly huh?" Ivy continued in a bored tone, but from the look in her eyes she was clearly intrigued.

"It was a one night thing." I quickly dismissed very aware that I had to be careful or else they would see through the lie. "It was good. But it won't happen again."

"At least you came back to see this city go to shit." Harley continued, clearly already over talking about what was going on with me. Clearly it was much less interesting than whatever else is going on.

"You still haven't explained what you mean by that."

"They arrested Bruce Wayne. They believe that he's involved with Carmine Falcone." A familiar voice stated, and I turned around to find Selina stepping into the room. I couldn't help but be surprised that she was back, after weeks of obsessively looking for any kind of evidence that Falcone was her father. "Arrest the richest man in the city and everyone becomes frenzied."

There was a pointed look on her face, one that spoke volumes. Bruce Wayne was the reason that she had returned to Gotham.

I still needed a moment to process what she had told me. Bruce Wayne arrested? That was ridiculous, he would never be involved with a criminal like Falcone, he was too morally just for it.

Dick was probably already at Wayne Manor hearing the news from Alfred. There was no way of knowing how he would react or what he would do. Meeting Selena's eyes once again I realized that she was waiting for me to come to that conclusion. That Dick was going to do something stupid.

Selina went back into her room without a single word and I immediately followed. I couldn't believe that she would show up like nothing and just go back into her room after what she had just told her.
