BOY WONDER !

they ignore his deflection, stepping closer and gently grabbing the arm that she's absolutely sure he's hurt. it would need attention of some kind, though cassandra is no doctor and can't make that kind of determination. she sees it, the pain, in his body and his eyes and the way his lips turn a certain way when he breathes.

the others weren't in front of her to worry about, they were paired up and on their own parts of the city doing what needed to be done. a coordinated strike, a wipe out of a trafficking ring. the night had ended in their favor but not without some wounds.

she's thankful that nightwing had come to help, though bludhaven wasn't that far way and she could always count on her older brother to show up when he's needed.

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎THE GENTLENESS OF THEIR tone is enough to warm his heart. giving a warm smile and a small salute, nightwing was off towards the cave. he swung through the city, mindful of the injuries.

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎[ ... ]

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎by the time cass had returned, dick's side was cleaned and stitched up, settled at the batcomputer with his wrist on ice. he gave a small wave, offering a bright smile. “ did you have fun with the gcpd ? ”

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎they stood after a moment, still holding the icepack. “ you don't have any scrapes that need attention, do you ? ”

a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!

you  weren't  supposed  to  hear  that.

don't  look  at  me  like  i'm  the  only  one  lying.

want  to  tell  them,  or  should  i?

you  think  i  don't  know  what  you  did?

i've  hit  people  for  less.

oh,  i  thought  you  already  knew.

that's  funny,  you  didn't  say  that  last  night.

say  that  again.  i  dare  you.

you  wanna  talk  about  loyalty?

no  offense,  but  if  you're  the  last  to  know,  that's  on  you.

go  ahead  -  pretend  like  it  wasn't  your  idea!

they  deserve  to  know  the  truth.

you  didn't  hear  this  from  me,  but  -

oh,  so  now  you  care?

don't  flatter  yourself.  you  were  just  convenient.

you  crossed  a  line.

we  had  bets  on  how  long  it  would  last.

it's  not  even  a  secret  anymore.

you  don't  get  to  cry  about  it  now.

touch  me  again  and  see  what  happens.

say  it  again.  louder  this  time.

you  really  thought  nobody  would  find  out?

don't  act  so  innocent.

okay,  but  am  i  the  villain  for  laughing?

tell  me  who  else  knows.  right  now.

this  whole  time,  and  you  didn't  say  a  word?

don't  act  brave  now.

you're  really  gonna  do  this  here?

it  wasn't  supposed  to  get  this  far!

you  can't  rewrite  history.

oh,  i'd  never  say  it  to  their  faces.

it  was  supposed  to  stay  between  us.

we're  all  thinking  it,  i  just  said  it.

you're  not  as  untouchable  as  you  act.

do  you  even  feel  guilty?

they  warned  me  about  you.

go  ahead,  make  it  worse.

if  you  repeat  this,  i'll  deny  everything.

the  next  thing  out  of  your  mouth  better  be  an  apology.

you're  about  three  seconds  away  from  regretting  this.

you  keep  pushing,  and  i'll  push  you  back.

they're  going  to  find  out.

one  more  lie,  and  i  walk.

they're  lying  to  you.

you  need  to  back  off.  now.

you're  defending  them?  after  everything?

don't  try  to  hide  it.

tell  me,  was  i  just  a  placeholder?

you  really  think  sorry  fixes  this?

there's  nothing  left  to  say.

don't  act  like  you're  the  one  hurting.

i  don't  owe  you  any  explanation.

whatever  helps  you  sleep  at  night.

you  should've  seen  this  coming.

i  hope  it  was  worth  it.

i  told  the  truth.  just  not  all  of  it.

you'll  miss  me  before  i  miss  you.

smile.  you're  ruining  the  mood.

i'd  watch  that  tone  if  i  were  you.

it's  not  my  fault  you  believed  me.

you  have  such  a  talent  for  pretending  you're  innocent.

we  both  know  this  is  over.

i  never  said  i  was  a  good  person.

nightwing commission !!

𝙵𝙸𝙽𝙶𝙴𝚁 𝚃𝙰𝙿𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙴𝙳𝙶𝙴 𝙾𝙵 𝙷𝙴𝚁 𝙻𝙸𝙿. Suspicion lay thick in the air and her need to know the happenings of everyone around her got the better of her. Especially when it came to Dick. He'd always hold a special place in her heart, no matter how much time passed and she would always be worried about him.

〝 That's always fun. I don't miss staring at the side of a building for hours on end waiting for something to happen to keep me awake, 〞she mused. Nowadays, her time is spent staring at screens, trying to puzzle pieces back together and create a picture for them all to use. It may not be as action-packed, but it still beats long stakeouts.

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎FOR AS MUCH AS she always worried about him, dick knew that they were both the same in terms of putting 110% of themselves into the job. sleep was always if there's time, not a necessity.

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎“ staring at buildings tonight, tracking down documentation about shipment trails tomorrow. ” an arm stretched over his head, groaning softly as something popped. definitely stiff. “ think i'm gonna break my coffee machine working this one. ”

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she was definitely in the same boat as him, didn't need to be a detective to know that much. “ you tease and yet i've heard nothing about you taking a break either. if your dad brought food, that means you haven't left. all work no play ? ”
