    Summary

    The civilian laughs, helping the other women to their feet, “What are you, some kinda teenage assassin? Kid ninja?”

    Duke can't help the bark of surprised laughter that's pulled from him, slumping the henchmen against the back of the cargo container with more force than necessary — which they deserve. His laughter hangs onto his words when he helps the rest of the women out the container one by one, heart tight and heavy when they take deep breaths of fresh air, despite the stench of Gotham's river. It, hilariously, smells like freedom.

    “Nah, just a kid from the Narrows,” Duke says with warmth.

    (The one day Duke decides to take a day off from being Signal — everything goes wrong.)

    Summary

    Bruce realises it then with a sudden startle, all the anger and frustration that had been building up over the last couple days freezing under his skin, blood cold.

    "You're trying to make me angry…" Bruce carefully says out loud, all the pieces of the puzzle finally coming together, watching the way Jason's shoulders tense at the shift in tone from angry to a calculative calmness, "On purpose?"

    Jason's previous expression, one filled with twisted amusement at Bruce's apparent annoyance is immediately replaced with something tragic. His blue eyes grow wide and fearful, and Bruce watches in delayed understanding as the boy takes a fearful step back.

    (Jason's change in behavior is cause for concern. Fortunately, Bruce is a pretty good detective — most of the time.)

    Summary

    The probability that fucking Gavin would help him to not be an absolute ass at work isn’t high, really, but Nines is out of options.

    Summary

    Gavin made a touch-drunk sound when he felt the inability to breathe settle in again, but Nines’s hand was too tight for the noise to be significant. The familiar sensation of panic set in, black dancing around his vision and adrenaline spiking as his eyelids fluttered rapidly to blink away tears.

    Summary

    "Unfortunately, someone in the building filed a noise complaint against you and your girlfriend. They reported," the fucking blush on her cheeks deepened, "banging, movement, and loud, um, voices coming from your unit late at night. Now, don't worry! You're not in trouble or anything right now, just please try to keep it down for me, okay?"

    What... the fuck. The urge to smack Tina or shove her into traffic built quickly as he felt her shake in an effort to stay quiet and keep a straight face beside him.

    And despite his best efforts, he knew he was blushing, too. Not because he was being called out, but because he wasn't fucking dating Tina and she certainly wasn't the source of those loud noises coming from his apartment. Nonetheless, she sure as shit was going to go run her mouth at the first chance she got.
