Late Night Coffee - Batgirls Headcannon
Nightshade knows she shouldnāt have favourite patrol routes. She is supposed to be there for all of Gotham. But there is this one block just a few streets away from Gotham Central that she canāt help feeling drawn to. And itās not because of the cute little coffee place on the corner of 95th Avenue that does the sweetest Kenyan roast in the city. Which is does. No, itās more because of the cute little barista with the sweetest smile.
Not that she was stalking out the place. Well, not originally. She had just dropped in one day after a late night patrol for a coffee fix to her her through the morning, and had found a pick me up in that sweet smile that she hadnāt been able to stop thinking about. Call it a crushā¦call itā¦well, she doesnāt know what else to call it. That can be the only reason why she is finding excuses to literally swing by, just to see that smile. Out of uniform that would be stalking. But up here, no one can see her. Or at least that was the plan, until she could work out exactly what to do with these feelings. ntil some hoodlum decided to try and hold up the place. Try being as far as he got, Nightshade had already been swooping down before he even made it to the door, tackling him down to the ground somewhat less subtly than she might have done. Still, at least the commotion got the CGPD there quickly, due to having a squad car just around the corner.
And that might have been it, had not the subject of unexpected feelings come out to see what was going and noticed not what she had done for her but that she had been injured in the process. Now, Nightshade should have just done the whole itās just my job line and gone back to base to get it patched up. Instead she found herself being ushered inside to get her hand bandaged up, not really being able to say no. Despite feeling that she really shouldnāt have done that, she couldnāt help having a little spring in her step. One that Barbara couldnāt help picking up on when she returned from patrol but didnāt press her on.
