Secret Identities
The thing about secret identities that the new Batgirl hasn't figured out yet is that they're supposed to be *secret*. Or at least that's Nightwing's theory and by extension Batman's theory, Superman's theory and the entire Justice League's theory. Because showing up at Starbucks in costume is by far the worst example of "stay in the shadows" that he has ever seen.
"You do realize what you're doing right?"
Her back is to him and he can still tell that she's rolling her eyes. Which is fine, because it's not his ass if she gets killed for poor secret hero identity management. Except it totally is and it's totally not fair. Fucking Bruce.
"Getting a Grande Regular Roast Regular Coffee?"
He hates that he knows her well enough to know that she's capitalizing because she thinks he's an idiot. Just because he thinks that anything stronger than hot chocolate tastes like crap doesn't mean that he's an idiot. The fact that he's about to give her the same Protect Your Identity lecture for the fifth time this week means that he's an idiot.
"Before you start with the lecture can we at least go somewhere else so that people stop staring at us? I mean you're embarrassing me."
He's embarrassing *her*? She's walking out of Starbucks in her fucking cowl and yet he's supposedly the one that's in the wrong. Fucking Batgirls, every damn one of them. He tries to remember if Barbara was quite this much trouble and looks up to realize that Chloe isn't there anymore. Great, now he really looks like an idiot and did that guy just fucking SNICKER? He glares in the direction of the wanna be emo kid who probably has a poster of Death Cab for Cutie and Bright Eyes on his walls and shoots his grabbling gun towards the nearest high surface.
Fucking Batgirls.
