The rooftop was bitter cold; she could see his breath as he stood in the shadows. His shoulders were hunched over as he looked across the rooftops to the drug deal going on across the street. “Don’t you think we should break that up?” Huntress asked stepping silently besides Nightwing, her long coat actually buttoned up part of the way for warmth.
“Hi Helena,” he said, as he made a mental note of who was who. “No, I need to wait. Want to find out who the big boss is. There’s always a new rat to take over for the last one. Something I learned from the old man a long time ago.”
“Yeah, Barbara keeps telling me that how it works too.” She hunkered down next to him, to keep out of site. As usual she wore no mask to hide her face, preferring her prey to remember the person who took them down. She could see the look of disapproval in Dick Grayson’s blue eyes, just like she did Oracle’s every night when she went on patrol. “She spent too much time with him after you left.”
“I know,” he said the bitterness still in his voice that Barbara’s life had been ruined by Batman’s failure to stop the Joker. “So why are you in Bludhaven, Huntress?”
“Needed a change of scenery,” she said with a smirk and a shrug. Being so close to him made her heart race. She was so glad he didn’t have her meta-human hearing, and had no idea of the effect he had on her.
“You and Oracle have a fight?”
“Something like that. She and I had a disagreement on the new girl. We have a lot of those. You should come by and visit.” That way I can see if you still love her, and if she still loves you. “I know she’d love to see you. Someone who agrees with her about the whole secret identity thing.”
“Barbara and I don’t always agree, Helena,” he said standing up as the last of the thugs went back into the building. “But I should probably come see her. It’s been a long time.”
“Over a year, Boy Wonder.” Her eyes shifted focus, as she shifted their range of vision until she could see as well as a cat. “Nightwing, don’t you think it’s kind of stupid for a bad guy to be making with the drug deals on a rooftop? This kind of feels like a trap to me.”
As the last words left her lips, a shot rang out grazing Nightwing’s shoulder, and sending the pair of them tumbling back into the deeper shadows and safety. She’d landed on top of him, her short bobbed hair falling across her face. All she wanted to do was kiss him, just once. Was there really any harm in that?
