night visit [rp thread for work_with_it]

Jan 20, 2010 03:25

It was after midnight when she left the company of the Huntress. Dalia's adrenaline was high. She couldn't just go home and sleep. There were too many thoughts swimming in her head. What was she getting herself into? Could she keep up with Huntress? Would she ever know the woman's real identity? Would she be able to keep her new identity a secret?

In between bouts of 'what if' and playing the guessing game, another thought kept pushing its way to the forefront of Dalia's mind--something the Huntress had said earlier in the night about James.

"He's a good man. Gotham likes those. They have farther to fall."

It wouldn't happen to James, she kept telling herself. Sure, he would get weary, cynical even. She'd seen it already here and there. But he wouldn't stop being good. He wouldn't give in. Why did she suddenly care so much?

She didn't have concrete reasons, only the way that his lips felt against hers as they'd stood on the sidewalk near the subway station, the grip of his hands around her waist. It was more than that, she chastised herself. Dalia didn't know how to define it...and she found herself on a jog to his apartment. When she reached there, flush from running, she picked up a few pebbles from the road and began tossing them lightly against the window that she knew to be part of his apartment. She couldn't tell if it was his bedroom window or not.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
