B-day Present 1/1

[anonymous]

“Remind me again why I have to be in drag?” Artemis asks, teeth clenched. She sweeps a hand over the crown of her head, feeling the stiff strands of her gelled down pony tail. She’d slicked it back and tied it so tight it's giving her a headache, but it's the only way the fedora will sit properly. She leans carefully around the corner to glance at the entrance to the club, trying not to get dust on the zoot suit. Three guards doubling as bouncers, and the streets are empty. On a Saturday night. If that wasn’t enough to scream ‘gang leader’s hideout’, she doesn’t know what is.
Robin adjusts his mid-calf length skirt one last time, and glancs at himself in his compact before his eyes - blue, Robin has blue eyes, why is that so familiar? Artemis thinks - glare up at her. “Because Batman’s birthday is coming up and he’s a hard man to buy for. How’s my make up?”
She casts a glance at him. “It’s fine.”
Robin nods. “Alright. Show time. Just follow the script, and we’ll be fine.”
They round the corner, swaggering - for Artemis - and sauntering - for Robin - up to the club’s entrance. Artemis glares the bouncers into submission and the doors open before them, thirties swing spilling out onto the street.
“Babyface!” Artemis shouts as soon as they’re in. The hulking man - with a head far too small for his shoulders - turns to look at her.
“Now who are you to be comin’ in to my bar?” he asks, voice completing the Chicago gangster impression the entire club has going on. “I was just about to have some fun with my honeydoll, see, and you’re interrupting me, see?”
A... woman... in a pink skirt suit hangs off his arm. If Robin hadn’t warned Artemis about Manface... well, she’d probably gag.
“You mean you didn’t hear I was coming?” she sneers. “I thought for sure Ma would’ve gotten through to you this time, see?” she slips into the accent almost painfully naturally.
“Your ma?” he asks, suspiciously.
“My ma,” Artemis parrots back. “Your sister? Martha? She’s my mother, see? Or don’t tell me you don’t care nothing about family.”
And just like that they’re in. Artemis introduces herself as Girlface, and Robin as his fiancée, Babydoll. Robin’s done his research, Artemis has to admit. The hardest thing about this job isn’t the lying, it’s making sure she doesn’t gag every time she sees Babyface and Manface getting cozy. And trying not to feel too dirty when she does the same with Robin.
She gets Babyface to send away the guards with a quick mention of wanting to give Babyface some private news about Martha. From there, it’s all revealing who they really are, tearing off their disguises, dodging bullets, and trying to hold down Babyface long enough to get the cuffs on him.
They leave the two next to the Batsignal with a note pinned to his chest: Please leave for Batman. B-day present. Thx, Robin, and an envelope with a card in it stapled to that.
It was kind of a pain in the ass, but the look on Commissioner Gordon’s face in the morning in priceless.

XDDDDDD
For one, YOU WIN for putting Babyface and Manface into the mix. LOVE THOSE GUYS.
Another thing, you do know there's already a villain named Babydoll in DC? Batman villain. VERY COOL.
>:3

oh lol. No, I did not know that. I was originally planning on having Robin's alias be 'Dollface' or something similar, before I decided that even with Artemis being the 'guy' in the relationship, they were still too young to be married, which left me with the vague desire to have 'doll' somewhere in Robin's alias, without having anything to attach it to. :/
*looks up Babydoll*
Oh. Huh. I knew that name sounded familiar. Lulz forever. Oops. \<.>/ What can you do?

Because Batman’s birthday is coming up and he’s a hard man to buy for.

Best reason for doing anything - ever. Wow, this was hilarious.
