Use of (Name) to refer as reader, but just twice.
Red Hood and Nightwing are in patrol when a group of girls is getting followed. Little did Jason knew, one of the girls find him very interesting.
Everytime Jason was on patrol, on the rooftop of some abandoned building, he felt as if the world was his own, and how lonely he felt that he could not share that world with someone. Dick shivered as he entered the terrace, the cold hitting him as he made his way to his brother.
– It’s cold out here! Aren’t you cold, Jay? – he said, sitting by his side on the edge of the roof, hissing as the cold hits his butt.
– No. – simply stated, his voice modified by the red helmet.
– Well, it’s gonna be worth it. – his eyes shined mischievous – Do you see the dance studio on the other side of the street? – he nods, carefully – Well, the girls there are stunning, my brother!
– So, you chose this spot today so you can creep on a couple of dancers? I’m out.
– No! I mean, kinda, but not for that! These girls have been harassed on the street by a couple of dudes every night. They asked for help on social media. – Dick quickly explains, opening his arms like he had the greatest idea of the century – We’re the help!
Jason is skeptical, but he shrugs. It’s not like he has anything else to do on patrol anyway. This also makes Dick stop trying to chit chat with him for the couple of hours they spend together. He can’t say he hates it, but he’s also never thrilled or looking out for the conversation.
Just when he’s lost in thought, Dick punches his arm, alarming him to the group of 3 or 4 girls happily chatting leaving the studio in front of them. Jason checks the perimeter, finding a group of 3 weird men just waiting for the group on the street, ready to follow them. Jason and Dick don’t think twice but jump out of the building in their direction.
They land on the other side of the street, close enough so they can put themselves as shields for the dancers if needed but far enough so the weird guys think they have their shots. The tallest of the weird is the first to initiate contact, catcalling the girls. They turn as they soon realize they’re being followed.
One of the girls jumps in front of her friends.
– Who are you whistling to? – She yells. The guys laugh, mocking her. Two of the girls put her aside, telling her to stop.
– You better listen to your friends. I mean, with a body like that one, – a guy with oily hair points to a girl in blue – she doesn’t get complimented much.
– I don’t want your catcalling, nor think they’re endearing. – the girl in blue said, with a tone that made both of the vigilants look surprised. The men didn’t like that. – Stop following us.
– What if we don’t want to? – the seemingly stronger of the men put himself on the front, making the girls step back.
– Well, that’s too bad. – Red Hood appears, with Nightwing by his side. – You’ll have to want to.
The other two men left in a hurry, leaving only the strong one behind. He puts his fists up, and without missing a beat, Hood takes a gun out his belt and points at him. Nightwing uses the shock to put the man down, tying his hands onto his back. The girls started going around Dick, showering him with compliments, making him smile.
The girl in blue, though, approaches Jason with her hands grabbing her bag across her shoulder. He looks at her slightly, and she smiles at him, with the warmth of a thousand suns. Jason was really happy he had the helmet on, because he felt his own lips turning up just because of the shy smile she showed him.
– Thanks, Mr.Hood. We’re really happy these creeps may be out now. – she rubbed her neck, timid. – I’m (Name). My friends are also grateful – she looks over – in their own ways.
– Yeah, I know, it’s no problem, really. – his eyes scan her.
She’s wearing a gym fit, her hair is on a tight ponytail with sweat still on her forehead. She has a couple of freckles on her nose, and a really cool tattoo on her arm. He realizes the silence may be weird by now, so he, absent-minded added:
– You have a nice body. – he regretted immediately. But it was out there. – I mean, he said that nasty thing about you, so, I thought…
She started laughing! Like a full laugh that seemed to make her belly hurt. He is even more frightened now, his face redder than his armor.
– You’re so cute! I’m sorry, can I say that? You are! – she keeps on laughing, but now he’s laughing with her.
He forgot the cold. He forgot the world at that moment. A pretty girl is laughing with him and is not making him feel weird about his awkwardness in conversations.
– (Name)! Come on! – the girls rush, already leaving as they speak. She begins searching her purse, taking a pen out of it.
– Give me your hand! – she takes his hand and before he can even process, she’s writing something on him before running to get her friends – Call me, Mr.Hood!
Dick has his jaw on the floor, even though he has three numbers on a piece of paper. Jason is, also, left dumbfounded. He would definitely call her.
