A strong scent of dirty socks and mold entered your nostrils and filled your lungs making you wake up coughing. You were feeling dizzy and all you could see was dark You tried to move but both your hands and feet were tied with a strong rope. You didn’t know where you were, it was a small space and it seemed to be moving. You realized you were kidnapped and trapped in a car trunk.

You were panicking. You had no idea who kidnapped you or where they were taking you, most importantly, why they did it and what they intended to do to you.

The car suddenly stopped and your body crashed against the hard inside of the trunk, making you groan in pain. You could hear the car’s front doors opening followed by steps. Fortunately, instead of hearing the steps getting closer, whoever was there was walking away. That made you feel relieved but scared at the same time. Where were they going? You wanted to get out of there but, deep down, you weren’t sure if it was the best option.

“(Y/N), I’m home.” Dick said as he entered your shared house. “(Y/N)..? he called furrowing his brows. You always answer him when he gets home. He walked towards the kitchen in hopes of finding you listening to music with your headphones on but, instead, he was faced with an empty and silent kitchen, your phone and shopping bags on the counter.

 He immediately searched the whole house for you and got very worried when you were nowhere to be seen. He knew you would never leave the house without your phone, even when you forgot it you would come back to get it, no matter where you were. Seeing no signs of a break in, no footsteps and nothing broken or out of place he figured you might’ve left the house before anyone could get to you. It was impossible to know where you had gone so he decided to go to the last place you went before coming home: the supermarket.

As he got there his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw it was closed. Great. If you weren’t here then he had absolutely no idea where you could be. He grabbed his hair in desperation as he started to walk around mumbling swear words and promises to find you. His mind was racing but something on the ground caught his attention. He crouched next to it to examine it. "Guess someone forgot to clean the tires of their car.” he touched the mud marks and looked at his fingers afterward “Not dry.” he smirked knowing exactly where you were.

It was getting late but you fought to keep your eyes open, you couldn’t fall asleep! The ticking of your clock echoed in the compartment each second that went by and that constant sound was making it more difficult for you to stay awake.

“It’s a fine one, boss!” a voice said and your heart started to beat so fast you were afraid they could hear it.

“We’ll see about that.” a deeper voice responded now closer to the trunk.

A second later the trunk door was opened revealing three strangers standing before you. You closed your eyes and turned your head the other way because of the strong flashlight that was being pointed at your face. You heard a chuckle followed by that voice again. “A fine one, indeed.” the man in the middle said amused. “Get her off.”

Two strong hands grabbed your body and you screamed for them to get their hands off you. “Scream all you want” the man holding you said “No one can hear you here.” he laughed and you finally had a chance to look around. You were in a farm, about 2km away from the city. Tears started to form in your eyes as your panic rose. You tried to steady your breaths in order to calm yourself.

“W-What do you want from me?” you managed to ask.

“You’ll see soon enough.” was the only answer you received and you didn’t dare to ask anything else.

A loud noise of a metal door opening was heard and you started to scream once again, terrified of what you might find inside that door. Before they could push you inside, a figure appeared in front of you knocking the other two men unconscious. The one carrying you held out a gun at the figure but they easily disarmed the man punching him in the face and making him fall backward. You stared surprised at the stranger and as they stepped into the moonlight, a big blue bird appeared on their chest. “Nightwing!” you hugged the vigilante, relieved and, to your surprise, he hugged you back even tighter than you did. “Thank you so much” the tears finally fell, rolling down your face.

“I’m so glad I got here on time.” he whispered.

“How did you know where I was, anyway?” you looked at him, curiosity filling your eyes.

“I saw fresh tire marks with mud next to the supermarket and found it odd they weren’t dry since the supermarket had been closed for some time. Even if there was nothing wrong going on, it was a way of curing my curiosity and boredom.” he lied  "Since this is the closest farm to the city, I decided to check it out. And I am so glad I did.“ he confessed, smiling. He stared at you for some seconds and then started to lean to you to kiss you.

Realising what was happening you put your hand on his chest and took a step back. He looked at you and seemed confused for a moment. "I think you got the wrong impression.” you started “I’m very grateful for what you did for me, I really am but, I have a boyfriend who I love very much, sorry.”

“Oh!” he quickly said, his eyes widening “There’s no need to apologize, I am the one who’s sorry! I totally understand.” he laughed in an embarrassed way “It’s so good to see that there are still faithful people around these days” he added and you could swear he seemed to be proud of you, but you didn’t think much of it. “Well, I guess I should take you home now.”
