I might be on my way to becoming a vigilante?
So, I go to a support group in Gotham, that Red Hood has recently started attending as well. About three weeks ago, I was heading home from one of the meetings and took a detour through Crime Alley when some idiot tried to mug me. I grabbed the hardback collection of Shakespeare that I was reading and hit him over the head purely out of habit. Red Hood dropped down out of nowhere, ready to fight, to find my 5'0 self standing over the mugger’s unconscious body with a giant book in my hands. He complimented my technique, and asked what I was reading. I showed him, and he proceeded to compliment my choice in literature, then offered to walk me home. We set up a meet-up (not a date, he’s with Arsenal and I’m really only into girls), where we just kinda sat at a coffee shop and discussed Shakespeare, modern theatre, our favorite novels- it was fun!
The next week we met up again, at an ice-cream place this time, and lo-and-behold, Mr. Freeze showed up to rob the place. He crashed directly through the window I was sitting in front of, and I was pissed for him ruining my only real semblance of normality, so I stood up, glass imbedded in my skin, and just started shouting. I accidentally reverted back to Russian, then just kinda huffed and looked at RH, who seemed to be almost impressed? Then he shot Freeze, which prompted Nightwing to come in, thank me for at least kinda keeping Hood out of trouble, pay our bill, scold Red Hood, and then leave.
Last week was the best one yet, because the tiny angry Robin showed up, for all intents and purposes to crash our meetup, and he tried to tackle me. Thanks to my uncle being really into fighting techniques and studying different vigilantes, as well as me actually listening to his rants, I managed to almost beat him? RH was laughing hysterically at this, which I can’t entirely blame him for, but afterwards Robin just kind stood there, arms crossed, deemed me “Suitable” and left. Hood asked me how I knew about this, I explained, he seemed impressed and told me that if I “ever wanted some more training” he could hook me up with someone.
Tomorrow’s my next book-discussion with him, I’m bringing my switchblade just in case, but let’s see how this goes. #onlyingotham, I guess.
UPDATE: Bozhe moi, Batman met us there, asked several questions about my family and home life (still technically a minor), nodded solemnly, and left. I might end up becoming a vigilante???
