Summary: After finding the cecaelia-mer Roy and his adorably squishy baby daughter Lian at the beach, the Arkham Knight has to learn that the world – as dark as it might seem sometimes – is full of wonders.
A movement in the corner of his eyes startled Jason, and the man was on his feet within seconds, trying to make out the threat. His mind was blank for a moment, only working on instincts and every lesson he had been taught, but what he saw through the zoom of the heads-up display was not a bat or another vigilante, and certainly not Deathstroke in streetwear.
Waist-deep into the water was standing a gorgeous man, head turning in slight panic. His face showed concern, lips forming words and eyes wandering restlessly over the incoming waves. The water wasn’t as calm as it tried to pretend when it crashed against a nearby cliff. The man seemed aware of that as well, his naked upper body and the red hair that almost reached his broad shoulders were wet.
So far, he had not seemed to notice the intimidating figure standing tense at the beach, inches away from the waterline and getting wetter with each flowing tide. Not fond of a soaked uniform and combat boots, let alone the heavy armor, Jason would have loved to lay back on the beach and let the man deal with his own problems or drown, preferably not right before Jason. The helmet, however, had other plans, catching the shouted words and letting him freeze even more.
“Lian! Where are you, sweetie? Lian! It’s dangerous out there! Give me sign! Lian! Lian!”
