The First Robin @nightwing-wayne - Tumblr Blog

Hey mama! Do you think we can do more flight lessons? I’m bored and the manor’s empty during the day!

( @nightwing-wayne )

"Sure we can. You will have to show me around, because I have no idea where you called me to", Manea replied as she stepped through the portal.

Oh! Right this is Wayne manor! Batman’s home, and all of his kids of course! We’re in my room! There’s no one else here since everyone has stuff to do, even Alfred is on vacation! *Dick stands up from where he was on his bed and greets her with a hug*

Manea returns the embrace and has a brief look around before she hums and then laughs. Silver dust flowed from her eyes and vanished in the air without ever settling on anything but her.

"Oh, this is wonderful!"

Are you okay? *he notices the dust and gets concerned* we can go somewhere else if you want?

"I am laughing, little swallow. I just remembered something and just made the connection." Manea chuckles. She gives him a quick kiss on the forehead, her magic drifting through him and making him able to feel the dust. Bright joy and amusement tickled through any point the light airborne dust touched him. "This is my essence; it reacts to my emotions. When I am amused and happy, my essence is light, reminiscent of starlight or powdery snow. When I am sad, my essence clumps wetly together."

Ohhhh that makes sense! What did you remember? If that’s okay to ask of course..? *Dick lightly pulls her to sit with him on his bed, she can notice that the pajamas he’s wearing come from the chamber she set up for him, a very fuzzy set with little bats on it*

"A little while ago, I had found Batman on a gargoyle and joined him for company. He asked about my nature and I was in an amicable mood. So I told him. He was sceptical from his very limited information and understanding. I gave him an example. My words were these: 'But that is why I said seelie or unseelie is as unreliable to describe a fae as defining a man by their wealth. It would be like... Comparing Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor. Just because they are both wealthy.' He did tell me later during our conversation that he would prefer me calling him Bruce outside of the mask. I had not made the connection then."

Manea was still chuckling as she retold the memory. She settled down beside him on the bed, taking a more thorough sweep through the room, noting the parts which had the subtle aura of being cherished and comfortable, unconsumable preferences took on naturally.

Oh, you used him as a comparison to himself, that is funny! You keep looking around, if there’s anything in here that draws your attention or you have questions about you can let me know! *Dick smile, leaning his head on her shoulder softly* I haven’t changed much in this room since I was nine honestly.

"Bruce Wayne is Lex Luthor? Interesting", Manea hums. There is teasing amusement in her voice.

"I have a chance of figuring out your preferences. You are all rather quiet about it, and I would like to know what would make you more comfortable in your chambers. I seldom get a chance like this. Are those my trousers?" The question was accompanied by a teasing tug at the fabric of his pajama pants. Just a teasing familial tug on the lower leg.

Huh? No Bruce is Batman? Lex can choke himself off a bridge. *Dick wishes he could say he’s joking but seeing what Lex has done to his superhero plus Superboy? He holds only apathy towards that man.*

I don’t have a lot of big preference i guess, just little things that either make me feel surprisingly comfortable or tick me off weirdly. Most of the stuff in here came from someone who lives in the manor, posters are mostly from Bruce when I was younger, Jason got me a lot of the books and trinkets I have, Tim took most of the pictures in here, Steph made the stuffed animals, Cass got me the ballerina figurine after her first solo, Duke got me a lot of my hoodies and shoes, we have a very similar style! Damian drew me most of the pictures that are hanging and he got me the solar system hanging from the ceiling, and Babs got me the ring I keep on this necklace one year for my birthday!

*he shows the ring from under his shirt then looks at his pants* maybe..? They’re fuzzy and have bats on them in my defense!

"Little Swallow, I think you misunderstood something I said." Manea softly explains. "It does not matter all that much."

"If you ever have a preference for design or something you would like added for comfort in your chambers. Please let me know. And I do not mind you taking my clothes, just tell me so I know to make something to fill my wardrobe up again. I guess stars and bats are patterns and designs you prefer?"

Manea squeezes him, already having figured out he loved her physical expression of love and care.

I also think I got lost somewhere. I just like things my loved ones make or give me! I do like stars and batssss and birds! I'll make sure to let you know!! *He leans into her more, truly enjoying to contact*

"Feathers and Flowers?" Manea offers, snuggling deeper into the embrace and letting him snuggle deeper. "And when did you want to practice your flight? Or did you just want company because you were alone here?"

ooooo! Yeahhhhh! *Some how he ended with his head in her lap. He doesn't know how.* Just wanted to see you!

"You could have just said that. I would have come. Or you could have come to me. I would welcome you. Even if it is just shared time, cuddles, or existing alongside each other."

She was playing with his hair and righting feathers she had easy access to.

"I am as wiling to help you with your flight as I am to stroll through a park. I cherish all the time we spend together, regardless of the reason."

Manea huffs in amusement and gives him a kiss on the forehead.

"How about we practice your flight and after that you pick the most boring activity I could do with you? After you get your cuddles in."

*Dick freezes for a second. Making sure he heard her right* I.. I didn't want to be a bother.. *He snuggles more into her* yeah, that sounds nice

"Little Swallow", Manea said, her voice turning stern. It was still gentle but heavy instead of light. She pulled him up a bit, hands gentle but making sure he would see her serious face. "You will never be a bother to me. And if all you do is come to me just to complain and raid my wardrobe, you would not be a bother. You wanting to share your time with me will never be a bother."

Then her face softens again, giving him another kiss on the forehead. "I cherish you. How did the idea of being a bother to me ever cross your mind?"

*at some point during her words he didn't notice but tears slip from his eyes, unable to speak, or do more than cling to her like she might disappear*

Manea patiently waited for him to cry himself out. He clearly needed it. She wiped his tears from his cheeks and gave him a tissue to blow his nose when he needed to.

Sorry.. I don't know why I broke down like that... *His breathing is slightly irregular but much better than before* I.. I'm okay now. Thank you... *His wings twitch and flap a little*

"I would guess because you needed to cry and you felt enough to do so." Manea answered the question Dick was asking himself. "I am happy you are feeling better. You have nothing to thank me for, but I appreciate that you appreciate my care."

"What would you like to do now?"

mhm, I will always appreciate you mama. Oh! We should go to the store!! We're out of cereal here!

"Well, it was a long time since I bought groceries. The last time I was going over a market and exchanged favors. Would you teach me how to buy things with currency?" Manea requests. She had some of it accumulated from parents, who were not accepting a gift freely given after she had helped their children's health.

I can help with money! Bruce also asked me to pick up somethings while he's at work! I should probably change though, do you need anything clothes? Mine might be a bit big on you but you're welcome to themmmm!! *Dick seems happy to give her what she's given him, unquestioned love and respect*

"Are my clothes inappropriate?", Manea asked and looked down at herself. She was wearing her midnight-dark cloak over her black cotten trousers and icy-blue silk blouse. The wider sleeves were fastened by dark leather cuffs, Fluffy fur was lining the inside of the cloak's collar. A leather belt hung low on her hip, a pouch attached to it.

No! No not at all! You're beautiful! The cloak might be much but it's beautiful! *Dick immediately panics thinking he said something wrong, scared he might upset her*

"Calm, little Swallow. I was just wondering. The cloak is regrettably a necessity when I am not at home. It has woven in protection I need." Manea replied with a soft smile. "You are fine, we are fine."

That makes sense, um, how do I hide my wings? It’d probably be weird if I went out in public with them. *He starts looking for clothes, settling on a pare of dark purple nicer looking jeans, a black turtleneck undershirt, and a tie dye faded over shirt, with a black belt*

This is the idea for his outfit

"You think about it while wearing the charm." Manea chuckled as she explained it. She did reach out, plucking a loose feather out of the wing as he went by. She calmly waited for him to finish changing. Braiding her hair, she added the feather into it.

Ah! Oki! *he does as she instructs and the wings disappear* oh! That’s so cool! *he’s looks back and notices to feather after changing* when’d you get that?

"It was loose in your wing. Would you prefer if I took it out again?" Manea stands up and walks to the mirror, looking at herself with a frown.

No it’s okay! I was just confused cause I didn’t notice! It looks nice with your hair color! *Dick notices the frown* what’s wrong? Do you need anything?

"No, I just try to remember how to do it", Manea replies. She gives him a quick smile before humming a soft song, putting the finishing touches on her hairdo. Her eyes shimmer and turn a bright icy blue and her snowy-white skin got a rosier hue.

"Passable? I would not want to raise attention. You look gorgeous, little Swallow."

You look beautiful mama! *dick smiles and bends down slightly to kiss the top of her head* should we head out? I’ll drive but you can pick the car!

"The one least polluting the air", she answered with her scrunched nose. She had known she would get into contact with the unsavory side of human existence. But that did not mean she needed to like it. "I know nothing about cars."

That’s fair, probably an electric car then! They don’t use gas so they limit pollution to nothing, or very small amounts! *Dick smiles, happy to share any knowledge he has bouncing around in his brain*

"That sounds preferable. You decide on our transportation, little Swallow. Otherwise, I will ask about horses. That is what I used the last time I decided to blend in with humans." Manea smiles at him, this time no silver dust accompanied it. "Lead the way."

Horses aren’t very common for transportation anymore, we can walk or I can drive! Walking will take longer and might get a little risky but it should be okay during mid day like this! Driving saves time and makes bringing the groceries back easier! *Dick has a bounce in his step, one he hasn’t truly had since those early Robin days, as he leads her down stairs to the kitchen to get a bottle of water.* would you like something to drink?

"I have noticed. Now you know how much time has passed since I last blended in with humans." Manea laughs softly as she saw the excitement and energy in his movements. Sharing his joy and excitement in her own way.

"I would welcome something to drink."

There’s water and lemonade, the water has been filtered and the lemon is homemade! *he pulls out a metal water bottle and fills it with water from a purifier* before getting another down for her* which would you like?

"I am curious about the lemonade." Manea hums. Ready to take the bottles and follow her changeling to the cars.

Alfred made it! It’s the best I’ve ever had! *he pours her bottle and hands it to her to try, leading her to the garage*

"It is very pleasant", Manea compliments after a sip. She was following, steering away from time to time when she came too close to exposed plastic.

Are you okay? Does plastic hurt you? *he grabs a set of keys as they enter the garage*

"It is abhorrent. Very unnatural", Manea huffs. "Ever heard of how cold iron hurts us? Plastic and artificial objects are like that for me."

Manea looks around the garage with the same curiosity as she had the whole manor. She followed Dick to the car he had chosen, ready for him to take her whereever he had in mind.

Oh! Maybe a car isn’t the best idea, they’re mostly artificial. We can take my motorcycle, it does run on gas but it produces low amounts and I made sure that me and little wing used non harmful metals and the seats and grips are leather! *he hopes he won’t accidentally hurt her at all*

"Would the groceries fit on the way back? Because it does sound safer for me to take the bike", Manea inquired. "Otherwise, as long as nothing from the plastic and artificial is exposed, I will be fine."

Groceries will fit, usually when I go alone I take my bike! A car is mostly plastic on the inside anyways. *Dick leads her to his bike, it’s more spacious than one would suspect, there’s even a compartment on the back for storage*

"The Bike would be very much preferable then. Plastic leaves painful burns." She waits for him to show her where he would like her to be. This looked like the same etiquette as riding on the same horse together.

There’s two way we could ride, I’m fine with either! You can either sit in front or behind me! *Dick smiles at getting to ride his bike again*

*Nightwing is patrolling Blüdhaven when he sees a goon, seemingly doing nothing? But he stays up on his rooftop just in case, out of sight*

( @nightwing-wayne )

Cockroach was grumbling as she looked at her phone. Where were they? She had been waiting for over half an hour past their meeting time. And they had opted for Bludhaven to stay under the radar of the bats and birds. Every moment she was loitering in this dingy alley risked discovery from Nightwing. She could not have the bats and birds find out about what she was planning.

*Nightwing can't hear the grumbling so he stays hidden behind the ledge on the building but now recording this for Oracle and Batman*

Cockroach throws a last glance at her phone. She put it into the pocket of the hoody, her hands staying there, before she turned and kicked at a trash can.

"Joker's balls sniffing, ass sucking, motherfucker! Fucking, damn it, we had a deal! Utter bullshit! Should never have trusted that asshole."

Then she started going out of the alley.

*Nightwing follows to make sure she doesn't do anything illegal*

Cockroach ducked into the next alley with the ease of someone who slipped in and out unnoticed all their life. There she pulled out a freeze gun from under her hood, finishing the assembling of it on the fly.

"Just in case, Cockroach, just in case. With luck, Puns was just picked up for something unrelated. Otherwise, Giggles knows."

She seemed to be talking to herself, calming the slightly shaking hands with one steadying deep breath. Her hands were suddenly very calm. A loaded weapon in her hand and a steady aim. She looked up and the first time some light caught her eyes. Framed by dirty blonde hair were golden-hazel eyes.

*Nightwing stays hidden and sends his cords to everyone else out on patrol in case*

After Cockroach armed herself with the freeze gun, she took another deep breath, pulling her phone out again and calling someone, shortly relaying that the Puns was a no-show and that they would need to speed up the plan. And that she was taking care, she was not the one who had gotten shot in Crime Alley and needed help.

"Stop worrying, I'll be alright. I always am. Take care and pet Cecil for me. I think there is still some cooking from Boss in the fridge."

*Nightwing hears something about Crime Alley and immediately his brotherly instincts for Red Hood kick in and he drops down* what brings you out here this fine night?

"Fucking bloody hell!"

Her shriek is loud enough to distract from her reflexively brought up freeze gun and almost reflexively pulled trigger. She was never as glad for her reflexes as at this moment, preventing the sudden freezing of Bludhaven's hero.

"Did you never got shot at when sneaking up on someone who is visibly jumpy and armed? I could have iced you!"

learned that enough voltage melts ice *Nightwing shrugs and holds up his escrima sticks* now again, what brings you to my streets with covered in the main cities rouge's merch?

"And if I didn't have the Freeze gun but a real one instead?"

Cockroach shock her head and rolled her golden-hazel eyes. She blinked and looked down at herself. She was confused. Her threadbare clothes were perfectly fine and everyone had a gas mask at easy reach when 'Crow or the clown were out of Arkham.

"I'm doing nothing concerning you or Bludhaven. I wanted to meet someone, they didn't show up, I am leaving. Meetingplace being in blud was the safest place. 'S all"

my suit is bullet proof. Plus I work with Hood to often to not be used to gun shots. *He yet again shrugs.* Let me walk you out, don't want you getting hurt, don't need any additional rouges in my city because a goon got hurt under my watch. *He doesn't leave a choice. At all. Walking up to her with his escrima sticks still out if she tries anything. But there is a playful smile on his face*

She eyes the escrimas with distrust. She had gotten electrocuted a few times while assembling a trap for Riddler or machinery for Mr. Freeze. It always sucked.

"Boss doesn't know what I am doing. You could say I have gone rogue by coming here."

She did not lower her freeze gun. Her other hand was going behind her back. She still had some of the cuddle pollens Ivy had given her the last time she had taken care of her greenhouse.

*Nightwing notices her hand* Good one, still don't want nothing happening to you. *He puts one stick away and taps the hand on the pollen, no electricity going through it* nice try, you're not slick.

"You do not know what it is."

Cockroach points out but extends the fragile trust that was given to her. She removes her hand from the release of the pollen. It would had surrounded them both if she had pressed the button. She also lowered her hand with the freeze gun.

"Why do you care? I lived in Gotham all my life, I have not one scar to show for it."

Based on the location, something that small is probably a pollen of some sort. And if you were okay with also risking getting affected I’d put money on it being cuddle pollen. *Dick keeps the stick out be low in his non dominate hand, a sign of trust among the vigilante* because Blüdhaven is a different part of Gotham. And quite frankly if one of my rouges see you here I don’t want a harder than necessary night. *he’s blunt and to the point, seemingly distracted while looking at her. His face is unreadable though*

"I carry Fear with me as well. But I was going for the Cuddle."

Cockroach disclosed with a sigh.

"You alright? You seem distracted. If something else is going on, I will be fine."

No one would willingly subject themself to fear pollen. Not even the joker. *he snaps himself out of the trace like state he found himself in and smiles* im alright! You just have eyes very similar to an old group that tried to… recruit me so to say. Let’s get you to a safer area, I can take you home or just out of Blüdhaven, up to you!

"I am vaccinated against the Fear strain I am carrying."

Cockroach shrugged.

"And I got therapy. I have a bike parked a few alleys down. I was just heading there when you gave me a heart attack."

Fair enough, didn’t mean to scare you that bad. Most rouges or goons in this area expect me to be watching in my defense. *he puts his hands up in a mock surrender, chuckling a little* let me walk you to your bike then?

"It's fine. I'm just jumpy at the moment. Clowns out, Crow's cooks have vanished or are found dead with Venom and the clown got interested."

Cockroach sighs as she notices her ramblings. Nightwing's genuine care and concern prove to be a very effective interrogation.

"GCPD should hire you for interrogation. Would prefer it when they shut off the cameras"

Jokers out again? *Nightwings tenses, barely noticeable but there.* I’ve helped with a few tricky criminals, they don’t bring me on unless necessary because I don’t expect payment for it. *he shares a bit of himself, not for any goal so much as just to talk*

"Yeah, a while now. Paid me a visit and left his calling card. I'm pretty sure you bats should know about it. I tipped off a detective and they asked Red Hood for help."

Cockroach shruggs, starting into the direction of her bike.

"Not that the higher-ups of the detective let them investigate. I am not surprised they didn't call you, they only do when someone actually did something wrong."

Cockroach disassembled the freeze gun while they walked, absentmindedly putting the parts in various little hidden pockets of her hoodie.

Oh, if Hoods got it then it’ll be fine *Nightwing relaxes again, putting the escrima stick away as well* yeah, as long as a goon or rouge isn’t like escaping Arkham than it’s all good, like with you!

Cockroachs' eyes narrowed as she side-eyed him, sharply asking.

"How do you mean that!?"

It means that I have no reason to be hostile or mean to you since you’re not supposed to be in Arkham right now, and you’re following the law! *nightwing puts his hands up again as he explains* nothing bad I promise!

"I was covered in blood and wearing a ripped hoodie when they brought me in. And everyone knows the shut-off cameras mean one of two things. Either your ilk comes, or the police exercise creative interrogation."

Cockroach huffs. She was stalling before turning the final corner, only for the bike to not be there.

"And I never did anything illegal. I checked multiple times. Fucking hell! What ass fucking, joker's boots-licking shithead would steal my garbage bike? It was on the verge of falling apart as it is! Black Mask's cocksucking whore!"

Yeah, I’ve been asked to investigate a few cases like that. *Nightwing looks at the spot the missing bike should be and sighs, sending a text before looking back at her* I can give you a ride home, one condition though. I hold on to any pollen or gas you have on you while we’re on the road. You’ll get them back when I drop you off! I don’t care for any drugs or anything else on you. Literally just anything that can affect me while driving, deal?

Cockroach's lips pressed together. She sighed and started pulling canisters from various parts on her body, handing them over. 3 versions of Fear, Cuddle Pollen, Sleep Pollen and the hot pink Pollen called 'Lust' she had with her to scare away those who would be willing to ignore her no. She also pulled out a freeze granade and a handful of vials with various types of acids. Finally she pulled out a spray just labled harbor.

"Guns too?"

*nightwing takes them and puts them all in a insulated bag with separate pockets for mor fragile vials* guns are fine as long as the safety is on and they’re not loaded. *when he takes the freeze grenade he raises an eyebrow but stores it away.* what in the fuckery is ‘harbor spray?’ I know Gotham harbor is nasty but no way a spray of it can be harmful? *he leads her to his own bike*

Cockroach takes out a gun with bullets. And unloads it.

"Ever got Harbor water into the eyes? Worse than pepper spray."

She follows him, sighing.

"I won't get that back, will I?"

*Nightwing notices the build of the gun* hey can I take a look at that? You’ll get everything back when I’m not at risk of crashing, fair? *Dick hooks the bag to a belt loop that blends into the rest of his suit and leans against the bike*

"Uhm, it's just a normal gun. And yeah, it's fair. I wouldn't have given you everything that would make you crash otherwise."

Cockroach shrugs and hands over the gun. She did not know why it caught Nightwing's attention.

*Nightwing looks at it, making note of the effort put into it* you work with Red Hood? *its a casual question but it’s seemingly out of nowhere, handing it back to her, with a little more trust than before*

"He's a good boss. Including health care and dental plan. I was allowed to crash a few days at HQ after the clown left his calling card at my apartment."

Cockroach shrugs and takes the gun back.

"I do mechanical work and am currently learning computer security."

She looks at the bike and sighs after a glance over nightwing.

"How are we doing this then? Am I sitting front or am I sitting back? And have you a helmet for me? Mine was taken alongside the bike."

*nightwing nods, making a mental note to let Hood know that one of his workers was stolen from* sitting comes down to whatever you’re most comfortable with, I’m sure Hood treats his employees right! You’re taking my helmet. That’s a nonnegotiable!

"I am fine with either way. What would let you concentrate better on not crashing us?"

Cockroach challenged and accepted the helmet. Watching with narrowed eyes if he would take a second helmet out. Otherwise, she would just give back the helmet and walk.

Probably if you backpacked, either way works though, shouldn’t be hard to see over you *Nightwing smiles and gets on the bike, waiting for her to follow, not minding his own lack of helmet* where am I taking ya?

"Dick!"

Manea grumbles, but settles behind him.

"Helmet. Non-negotiable. Or I walk."

#<- i think that is the first time anyone does that #and i am fine with good natured teasing #<- okii!#//manea accidentally calling his name #as a good natured insult for the shorty joke #<- lols #mans got scared for a second #poor man can't catch a break #<- nope!#nightwing rp #nightwing reblogs

*he freezes for a second hoping she doesn’t notice* I’m fine, I don’t usually wear it anyways, wouldn’t want you to get hurt either. Plus if you walk you don’t get your stuff back. The deal was you got it back when I drop you off, remember?

Hey mama! Do you think we can do more flight lessons? I’m bored and the manor’s empty during the day!

( @nightwing-wayne )

"Sure we can. You will have to show me around, because I have no idea where you called me to", Manea replied as she stepped through the portal.

Manea returns the embrace and has a brief look around before she hums and then laughs. Silver dust flowed from her eyes and vanished in the air without ever settling on anything but her.

"Oh, this is wonderful!"

Are you okay? *he notices the dust and gets concerned* we can go somewhere else if you want?

"Bruce Wayne is Lex Luthor? Interesting", Manea hums. There is teasing amusement in her voice.

*he shows the ring from under his shirt then looks at his pants* maybe..? They’re fuzzy and have bats on them in my defense!

"Little Swallow, I think you misunderstood something I said." Manea softly explains. "It does not matter all that much."

Manea squeezes him, already having figured out he loved her physical expression of love and care.

ooooo! Yeahhhhh! *Some how he ended with his head in her lap. He doesn't know how.* Just wanted to see you!

No! No not at all! You're beautiful! The cloak might be much but it's beautiful! *Dick immediately panics thinking he said something wrong, scared he might upset her*

This is the idea for his outfit

Ah! Oki! *he does as she instructs and the wings disappear* oh! That’s so cool! *he’s looks back and notices to feather after changing* when’d you get that?

"It was loose in your wing. Would you prefer if I took it out again?" Manea stands up and walks to the mirror, looking at herself with a frown.

No it’s okay! I was just confused cause I didn’t notice! It looks nice with your hair color! *Dick notices the frown* what’s wrong? Do you need anything?

"Passable? I would not want to raise attention. You look gorgeous, little Swallow."

"You do not know what it is."

"Why do you care? I lived in Gotham all my life, I have not one scar to show for it."

"I carry Fear with me as well. But I was going for the Cuddle."

Cockroach disclosed with a sigh.

"You alright? You seem distracted. If something else is going on, I will be fine."

"I am vaccinated against the Fear strain I am carrying."

Cockroach shrugged.

"And I got therapy. I have a bike parked a few alleys down. I was just heading there when you gave me a heart attack."

"It's fine. I'm just jumpy at the moment. Clowns out, Crow's cooks have vanished or are found dead with Venom and the clown got interested."

Cockroach sighs as she notices her ramblings. Nightwing's genuine care and concern prove to be a very effective interrogation.

"GCPD should hire you for interrogation. Would prefer it when they shut off the cameras"

"Yeah, a while now. Paid me a visit and left his calling card. I'm pretty sure you bats should know about it. I tipped off a detective and they asked Red Hood for help."

Cockroach shruggs, starting into the direction of her bike.

"Not that the higher-ups of the detective let them investigate. I am not surprised they didn't call you, they only do when someone actually did something wrong."

Cockroach disassembled the freeze gun while they walked, absentmindedly putting the parts in various little hidden pockets of her hoodie.

Cockroachs' eyes narrowed as she side-eyed him, sharply asking.

"How do you mean that!?"

Cockroach huffs. She was stalling before turning the final corner, only for the bike to not be there.

"Guns too?"

Cockroach takes out a gun with bullets. And unloads it.

"Ever got Harbor water into the eyes? Worse than pepper spray."

She follows him, sighing.

"I won't get that back, will I?"

"Uhm, it's just a normal gun. And yeah, it's fair. I wouldn't have given you everything that would make you crash otherwise."

Cockroach shrugs and hands over the gun. She did not know why it caught Nightwing's attention.

"He's a good boss. Including health care and dental plan. I was allowed to crash a few days at HQ after the clown left his calling card at my apartment."

Cockroach shrugs and takes the gun back.

"I do mechanical work and am currently learning computer security."

She looks at the bike and sighs after a glance over nightwing.

"How are we doing this then? Am I sitting front or am I sitting back? And have you a helmet for me? Mine was taken alongside the bike."

"I am fine with either way. What would let you concentrate better on not crashing us?"

Cockroach challenged and accepted the helmet. Watching with narrowed eyes if he would take a second helmet out. Otherwise, she would just give back the helmet and walk.

#cockroach is also 5'3 #<- he will make height jokes but it’s all /silly #if it makes you uncomfortable or if you just don’t like it I won’t though #nightwing rp #nightwing reblogs #nightwing #dc comics roleplay

Hey mama! Do you think we can do more flight lessons? I’m bored and the manor’s empty during the day!

( @nightwing-wayne )

"Sure we can. You will have to show me around, because I have no idea where you called me to", Manea replied as she stepped through the portal.

Manea returns the embrace and has a brief look around before she hums and then laughs. Silver dust flowed from her eyes and vanished in the air without ever settling on anything but her.

"Oh, this is wonderful!"

Are you okay? *he notices the dust and gets concerned* we can go somewhere else if you want?

"Bruce Wayne is Lex Luthor? Interesting", Manea hums. There is teasing amusement in her voice.

*he shows the ring from under his shirt then looks at his pants* maybe..? They’re fuzzy and have bats on them in my defense!

"Little Swallow, I think you misunderstood something I said." Manea softly explains. "It does not matter all that much."

Manea squeezes him, already having figured out he loved her physical expression of love and care.

ooooo! Yeahhhhh! *Some how he ended with his head in her lap. He doesn't know how.* Just wanted to see you!

"You could have just said that. I would have come. Or you could have come to me. I would welcome you. Even if it is just shared time, cuddles, or existing alongside each other."

She was playing with his hair and righting feathers she had easy access to.

"I am as wiling to help you with your flight as I am to stroll through a park. I cherish all the time we spend together, regardless of the reason."

Manea huffs in amusement and gives him a kiss on the forehead.

"How about we practice your flight and after that you pick the most boring activity I could do with you? After you get your cuddles in."

*Dick freezes for a second. Making sure he heard her right* I.. I didn't want to be a bother.. *He snuggles more into her* yeah, that sounds nice

Then her face softens again, giving him another kiss on the forehead. "I cherish you. How did the idea of being a bother to me ever cross your mind?"

*at some point during her words he didn't notice but tears slip from his eyes, unable to speak, or do more than cling to her like she might disappear*

Manea patiently waited for him to cry himself out. He clearly needed it. She wiped his tears from his cheeks and gave him a tissue to blow his nose when he needed to.

Sorry.. I don't know why I broke down like that... *His breathing is slightly irregular but much better than before* I.. I'm okay now. Thank you... *His wings twitch and flap a little*

"What would you like to do now?"

mhm, I will always appreciate you mama. Oh! We should go to the store!! We're out of cereal here!

No! No not at all! You're beautiful! The cloak might be much but it's beautiful! *Dick immediately panics thinking he said something wrong, scared he might upset her*

This is the idea for his outfit

Ah! Oki! *he does as she instructs and the wings disappear* oh! That’s so cool! *he’s looks back and notices to feather after changing* when’d you get that?

"It was loose in your wing. Would you prefer if I took it out again?" Manea stands up and walks to the mirror, looking at herself with a frown.

No it’s okay! I was just confused cause I didn’t notice! It looks nice with your hair color! *Dick notices the frown* what’s wrong? Do you need anything?

"Passable? I would not want to raise attention. You look gorgeous, little Swallow."

You look beautiful mama! *dick smiles and bends down slightly to kiss the top of her head* should we head out? I’ll drive but you can pick the car!

"I would welcome something to drink."

"I am curious about the lemonade." Manea hums. Ready to take the bottles and follow her changeling to the cars.

Alfred made it! It’s the best I’ve ever had! *he pours her bottle and hands it to her to try, leading her to the garage*

"It is very pleasant", Manea compliments after a sip. She was following, steering away from time to time when she came too close to exposed plastic.

Are you okay? Does plastic hurt you? *he grabs a set of keys as they enter the garage*

"It is abhorrent. Very unnatural", Manea huffs. "Ever heard of how cold iron hurts us? Plastic and artificial objects are like that for me."

Manea looks around the garage with the same curiosity as she had the whole manor. She followed Dick to the car he had chosen, ready for him to take her whereever he had in mind.

*Nightwing is patrolling Blüdhaven when he sees a goon, seemingly doing nothing? But he stays up on his rooftop just in case, out of sight*

( @nightwing-wayne )

*Nightwing can't hear the grumbling so he stays hidden behind the ledge on the building but now recording this for Oracle and Batman*

Cockroach throws a last glance at her phone. She put it into the pocket of the hoody, her hands staying there, before she turned and kicked at a trash can.

"Joker's balls sniffing, ass sucking, motherfucker! Fucking, damn it, we had a deal! Utter bullshit! Should never have trusted that asshole."

Then she started going out of the alley.

*Nightwing follows to make sure she doesn't do anything illegal*

"Just in case, Cockroach, just in case. With luck, Puns was just picked up for something unrelated. Otherwise, Giggles knows."

*Nightwing stays hidden and sends his cords to everyone else out on patrol in case*

"Stop worrying, I'll be alright. I always am. Take care and pet Cecil for me. I think there is still some cooking from Boss in the fridge."

*Nightwing hears something about Crime Alley and immediately his brotherly instincts for Red Hood kick in and he drops down* what brings you out here this fine night?

"Fucking bloody hell!"

"Did you never got shot at when sneaking up on someone who is visibly jumpy and armed? I could have iced you!"

learned that enough voltage melts ice *Nightwing shrugs and holds up his escrima sticks* now again, what brings you to my streets with covered in the main cities rouge's merch?

"And if I didn't have the Freeze gun but a real one instead?"

"I'm doing nothing concerning you or Bludhaven. I wanted to meet someone, they didn't show up, I am leaving. Meetingplace being in blud was the safest place. 'S all"

She eyes the escrimas with distrust. She had gotten electrocuted a few times while assembling a trap for Riddler or machinery for Mr. Freeze. It always sucked.

"Boss doesn't know what I am doing. You could say I have gone rogue by coming here."

She did not lower her freeze gun. Her other hand was going behind her back. She still had some of the cuddle pollens Ivy had given her the last time she had taken care of her greenhouse.

*Nightwing notices her hand* Good one, still don't want nothing happening to you. *He puts one stick away and taps the hand on the pollen, no electricity going through it* nice try, you're not slick.

*Nightwing notices her hand* Good one, still don't want nothing happening to you. *He puts one stick away and taps the hand on the pollen, no electricity going through it* nice try, you're not slick.

"You do not know what it is."

"Why do you care? I lived in Gotham all my life, I have not one scar to show for it."

"I carry Fear with me as well. But I was going for the Cuddle."

Cockroach disclosed with a sigh.

"You alright? You seem distracted. If something else is going on, I will be fine."

"I am vaccinated against the Fear strain I am carrying."

Cockroach shrugged.

"And I got therapy. I have a bike parked a few alleys down. I was just heading there when you gave me a heart attack."

"It's fine. I'm just jumpy at the moment. Clowns out, Crow's cooks have vanished or are found dead with Venom and the clown got interested."

Cockroach sighs as she notices her ramblings. Nightwing's genuine care and concern prove to be a very effective interrogation.

"GCPD should hire you for interrogation. Would prefer it when they shut off the cameras"

"Yeah, a while now. Paid me a visit and left his calling card. I'm pretty sure you bats should know about it. I tipped off a detective and they asked Red Hood for help."

Cockroach shruggs, starting into the direction of her bike.

"Not that the higher-ups of the detective let them investigate. I am not surprised they didn't call you, they only do when someone actually did something wrong."

Cockroach disassembled the freeze gun while they walked, absentmindedly putting the parts in various little hidden pockets of her hoodie.

Cockroachs' eyes narrowed as she side-eyed him, sharply asking.

"How do you mean that!?"

Cockroach huffs. She was stalling before turning the final corner, only for the bike to not be there.

"Guns too?"

Hey mama! Do you think we can do more flight lessons? I’m bored and the manor’s empty during the day!

( @nightwing-wayne )

"Sure we can. You will have to show me around, because I have no idea where you called me to", Manea replied as she stepped through the portal.

Manea returns the embrace and has a brief look around before she hums and then laughs. Silver dust flowed from her eyes and vanished in the air without ever settling on anything but her.

"Oh, this is wonderful!"

Are you okay? *he notices the dust and gets concerned* we can go somewhere else if you want?

"Bruce Wayne is Lex Luthor? Interesting", Manea hums. There is teasing amusement in her voice.

*he shows the ring from under his shirt then looks at his pants* maybe..? They’re fuzzy and have bats on them in my defense!

"Little Swallow, I think you misunderstood something I said." Manea softly explains. "It does not matter all that much."

Manea squeezes him, already having figured out he loved her physical expression of love and care.

ooooo! Yeahhhhh! *Some how he ended with his head in her lap. He doesn't know how.* Just wanted to see you!

"You could have just said that. I would have come. Or you could have come to me. I would welcome you. Even if it is just shared time, cuddles, or existing alongside each other."

She was playing with his hair and righting feathers she had easy access to.

"I am as wiling to help you with your flight as I am to stroll through a park. I cherish all the time we spend together, regardless of the reason."

Manea huffs in amusement and gives him a kiss on the forehead.

"How about we practice your flight and after that you pick the most boring activity I could do with you? After you get your cuddles in."

*Dick freezes for a second. Making sure he heard her right* I.. I didn't want to be a bother.. *He snuggles more into her* yeah, that sounds nice

Then her face softens again, giving him another kiss on the forehead. "I cherish you. How did the idea of being a bother to me ever cross your mind?"

*at some point during her words he didn't notice but tears slip from his eyes, unable to speak, or do more than cling to her like she might disappear*

Manea patiently waited for him to cry himself out. He clearly needed it. She wiped his tears from his cheeks and gave him a tissue to blow his nose when he needed to.

Sorry.. I don't know why I broke down like that... *His breathing is slightly irregular but much better than before* I.. I'm okay now. Thank you... *His wings twitch and flap a little*

"What would you like to do now?"

mhm, I will always appreciate you mama. Oh! We should go to the store!! We're out of cereal here!

No! No not at all! You're beautiful! The cloak might be much but it's beautiful! *Dick immediately panics thinking he said something wrong, scared he might upset her*

This is the idea for his outfit

Ah! Oki! *he does as she instructs and the wings disappear* oh! That’s so cool! *he’s looks back and notices to feather after changing* when’d you get that?

"It was loose in your wing. Would you prefer if I took it out again?" Manea stands up and walks to the mirror, looking at herself with a frown.

No it’s okay! I was just confused cause I didn’t notice! It looks nice with your hair color! *Dick notices the frown* what’s wrong? Do you need anything?

"Passable? I would not want to raise attention. You look gorgeous, little Swallow."

You look beautiful mama! *dick smiles and bends down slightly to kiss the top of her head* should we head out? I’ll drive but you can pick the car!

"I would welcome something to drink."

*Nightwing is patrolling Blüdhaven when he sees a goon, seemingly doing nothing? But he stays up on his rooftop just in case, out of sight*

( @nightwing-wayne )

*Nightwing can't hear the grumbling so he stays hidden behind the ledge on the building but now recording this for Oracle and Batman*

Cockroach throws a last glance at her phone. She put it into the pocket of the hoody, her hands staying there, before she turned and kicked at a trash can.

"Joker's balls sniffing, ass sucking, motherfucker! Fucking, damn it, we had a deal! Utter bullshit! Should never have trusted that asshole."

Then she started going out of the alley.

*Nightwing follows to make sure she doesn't do anything illegal*

"Just in case, Cockroach, just in case. With luck, Puns was just picked up for something unrelated. Otherwise, Giggles knows."

*Nightwing stays hidden and sends his cords to everyone else out on patrol in case*

"Stop worrying, I'll be alright. I always am. Take care and pet Cecil for me. I think there is still some cooking from Boss in the fridge."

*Nightwing hears something about Crime Alley and immediately his brotherly instincts for Red Hood kick in and he drops down* what brings you out here this fine night?

"Fucking bloody hell!"

"Did you never got shot at when sneaking up on someone who is visibly jumpy and armed? I could have iced you!"

learned that enough voltage melts ice *Nightwing shrugs and holds up his escrima sticks* now again, what brings you to my streets with covered in the main cities rouge's merch?

"And if I didn't have the Freeze gun but a real one instead?"

"I'm doing nothing concerning you or Bludhaven. I wanted to meet someone, they didn't show up, I am leaving. Meetingplace being in blud was the safest place. 'S all"

She eyes the escrimas with distrust. She had gotten electrocuted a few times while assembling a trap for Riddler or machinery for Mr. Freeze. It always sucked.

"Boss doesn't know what I am doing. You could say I have gone rogue by coming here."

She did not lower her freeze gun. Her other hand was going behind her back. She still had some of the cuddle pollens Ivy had given her the last time she had taken care of her greenhouse.
