This wasn’t really all that different from his years as a Black Cross, same types of jerks going around, same laughters, same ran down locker rooms, only things that were different was the technology on the lockers, no magnetic bar or fingertip reading, just a plain, old lock and key combination, and the apparatus for the job was rather rudimentar in his opinion, but then, very few things could be compared with Abstergo’s tech when it came to some departments.
He had just closed and locked his stuff safely when one of the men who had been trying to get his attention forcefully held his shoulder and pushed him against the metal lockers while saying something about Dionisus being a rookie who needed to learn to respect the older officers. It set him into motion before he could even think, mainly because this was something his ex used to do to him when the man was pissed, and the blond was always up to ‘forcefully calm him down’ as they put it.
Two fingers, a firm hold and a twist, was all that took to take the man down on a nose hook, he went on his knees and changed the speech that was spilt so far quite fast, going from all serious and menancing to tears and swears of pain.
Five seconds into the hook and a voice called for the blond, who calmly walked around the corner to see who was calling for him… without letting go of the other’s nose at all.
“Officer Rosali here, sir.” He answered with the most serene voice in the world while finishing his mental count of fifteen seconds and letting go his hold, that was all the time usually required for most to calm down, then saw the annoying officer walk away from him, hands on his nose to cover up the small tears and calling Dionisus crazy.
Smoothing his uniform a bit and adjusting the leather glove on his left hand and forearm, the blond stepped closer and analyzed the officer that called for him. Shorter than him for around half-a-head, but a better physique than most he’d seen on the streets lately, both on New York and Blüdhaven so far, and he seemed to be better behaved than the group that approached him so far, so, that was good.
“Sorry for the scene. It’s not my style to do this sort of thing.” He lowered his head in a polite bow. “Can I help you?” He supposed this was the man he was assigned as partner to, but better make sure than assume it beforehand.
Dick watched briefly as the two officers he had singled out left the locker room before turning his attention to the voice that answered his call.
Finally. He found Rosali.
His brows immediately furrowed at the sight of his mentee with his fingers hooked onto another officer, who was on his knees and swearing from the pain.
What the hell? That definitely wasn't a move that the recruits learned at the police academy, let alone one that people normally did period. Add to that the calm and confidence that Dionisus had practically emanating from him while performing the hold and, well- it was kind of difficult for Dick to not be suspicious.
Stepping out of the way as the enraged officer stomped out of the locker in a fit, Dick let out a soft sigh and ran a hand through his hair when the blond gave a small head bow.
So Dionisus was dangerous and polite. Something was definitely up with this guy. No one could do what he did and have good manners without having some kind of backstory or agenda. Dick was totally going to find out.
“I take it you didn't make a lot of friends during your time at the academy?” Dick mused as he stepped closer to the blond and lifted his right arm to shake hands. “Dick Grayson. I'll be your field training officer for the next few months. I'm supposed to keep you in line, but,” he pauses and cracks a friendly grin. “It looks like I've got my work cut out for me.
Now I know the guys are rough here- believe me, I do- but it's better if you don't do anything that'll paint a target on your back, especially when you're fresh out of the academy. Enough slip ups could cost you your career. So, from now on, if you find yourself getting into any other trouble, come to me and I'll sort it out, alright?”
