As young as you want me to be...

"Oooh, your grumpy face has defeated me!"

"Seriously, though, kid. What are you doing wandering the streets on your own?"

I wouldn’t speak too quickly. [He doesn’t only put in ‘half the effort’ in any situation. He’s got a plan, and that may involve the grappling shooter in his hand.]

Her eyes shoot to the grappling shooter he's got a hold of, and she starts to regret her smart talk. No time for that now- focus on evasion, Holly, come on girl!

"Why? Whatcha gonna do?" Oh, okay, maybe a little more trash talk.

“True enough, but don’t go near the edge, alright?”

"I can't make promises, boss. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Absolutely not. I’ve never been a sidekick before, but sooner or later you’ve got to start doing things on your own. Maybe even get your own sidekick if that’s your thing.”

She blinked. "Wow. I'm not used to a positive response to that question. It's good to hear, honestly."

“Yeah, and I’ve seen Aerosmith rock the Garden when they were pretty much all heading into their 60’s. That’s impressive. Take a back seat, Miley Cyrus!” Okay, his banter was insulting the gal. She looked past eighteen. Though saying that may sound like he’s calling her old. Serves her right for calling him old, though… “Destroyed a highly secured bank vault to get some cash. ATM must be too slow for his liking. Usual Shocker behavior, though. He rates about a 3.5 on ‘My Most Dangerous Enemies’ meter. Gave him a bit of credit because he did almost kill me, once.”

"Really??" Her voice was thick with sarcasm and her eyebrows were arching into her hairline, but she threw a grin at the guy anyway, just so he didn't get too upset. It was all just fun.

"Destroyed? Hm. Interesting tactics there. Not really my style, though, y'know?" Stealth worked better pretty much 90% of the time, in her experience. Probably better to just forget about the dumb crook. She studied his costume. "You're Spiderman, right? Sorry, you're not a big deal in my home town."

"Nope —- he’s not from Gotham." Selina added, looking down to inspect her nails for a moment, as cliche as it was — trying to gather her thoughts and just how much to tell her. "He lives in New York, we met after Claude….well. You know what happened there…he helped, hes still helping with that.” Selina added with a small frown, the shadows of which chased across her features briefly. Holly had never really been privy to the nature of their relationship. To her, Claude was nothing more than an old friend, not a mentor or a teacher. No, that position was meant to have been Selina’s and it had all seemed like it was perfect (as far as relationships between thieves ran…). - Apart from that she’d failed at it - rather she’d failed Holly, spectacularly.

Selina hoped, as she took another sip of water - that she wouldn’t have to spell out the nature of their relationship or just how serious it had gotten. It all seemed a little sudden, even if it had been working for almost a year - perhaps it was the fact that Holly had stumbled back in at a point where Selina was really only getting a handle on loving someone that way again and accepting that fact for herself. As simple as it had gotten with Remy and as much as she loved him for it, that was theirs and their alone to tend to.

"Tomorrow…." she nodded, the lie hissing from between her teeth. Maybe it shouldn’t have been this way, maybe honesty was the best option —- but she also didn’t know how long Holly was going to be around or even if company would be….

"…I’ll be gone a couple of days."

It could wait, she decided. At least until she was properly prepared.

Somehow, Holly felt that the barrier between them- thin as it was- was close. And she got it. It was all cool. She remembered not telling Selina outright when she'd started dating Karon, leaving her closest friend to figure out what was going on for herself. Sure, they were still transparent with each other, but most of the communication felt more comfortable when it wasn't verbal, Holly thought.

She wasn't entirely sure what had happened with Selina's previous boyfriend, and she knew that she would never know exactly what was going on with the new guy, either. That was just how it was with them.

Besides, Holly had other things to think about as well...

Sensing that Selina was worried about orchestrating introductions at the moment, she leaned away and took a quick drink, trying to give her some space. Putting the water bottle back down and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she offered her friend an apologetic smile. "Don't worry about it, Sel. I'm just playing."

//Hi. I suck, I realise. I haven't been online all week because life happened (finally), and I am readjusting to a new schedule. Replies soon.

the reason male comic book fans work themselves into a frenzied rage over “fake geek girls" is because they think they can’t get a girlfriend because of their love for comic books (a.k.a nerdiness). if they accept that geek girls genuinely love comic books, then they’re left with the cold harsh reality that it’s not their nerdiness that makes them unattractive to women, but the fact that they are misogynistic condescending dickbags who need to be avoided AT ALL COSTS

Gotham Girls

"Then stop actin’ like one." When Jason laughed, it comes out sharp. With a wave of his hand, he’s already moving toward a nearby alleyway. "And what was it that an old man used to say to me? Oh yeah— you keep thinkin’ this is a game and people are going to start dying. So stay out of my way if you wanna shadow."

Hair out of her face, she yanked the hood of her jacket down low, so that it shadowed her eyes. "Screw you." He was right, though. Holly had been hot-headed and stupid. She wasn't going to let him think she was just some dumb kid. "Shadow? I'm supervising." Quietly, she followed him into the alleyway, wondering if she should call Selina. No. Selina would just tell her to go home.

"I’m shooting out of this room Because I sure don’t like the company Stop your preaching right there, Cause I really don’t care.”

"I don’t share my work with people and I sure as hell don’t share it with someone who insults me just because I called her out on her bullshit." A little harsh? Maybe but Jason wasn’t one to smooth down words with friends, much less strangers. He scoffed behind the mask.

"Go home, kid. And lock your doors and windows this time.”

"It's like that, is it? Fine. Go ahead. See if I can't catch you." Holly yanked an elastic band off her wrist, using it to knot her hair into a tight ponytail. She was seething, probably not thinking straight, but oh well.

"And I'm not a kid."

“Why do you care?” He barely glances at her before eying the skyline and the surrounding buildings. “You may call this your turf but last time I checked, you couldn’t even protect your own crap from being stolen.”

She raises her eyebrows, a bitter twist adorning her mouth. "Shut up, asshole. Who said I didn't protect it?" That sentence would've sounded cooler if she had, like, a severed hand or something to show this guy. She follows his gaze to the skyline. "I've got my reasons. 'Fess up."

"You sound like someone pissed in your cereal and forced you to eat it, milk and all. Either way, got work here and since it doesn’t concern you, I’m pretty sure your opinion about my presence doesn’t really matter.”

"Pfft, pissed in my cereal... More like stealing my stuff and messing up my turf." Her eyes narrow and she turns to face him head on. "What 'work' have you got in East End, exactly?"
