As the girl proceeded to walk around the two unconscious men before kneeling before him, Damian watched her with slightly narrowed eyes. He could see almost immediately that she viewed him as simply a child, and thought that perhaps his victory over the two criminals had been simple dumb luck. His expression took on a stormy tone at the use of the phrase “little guy”, but he remained silent throughout the entirety of her ranting. It seemed to Damian that she was, for lack of better words, a complete and utter airhead. Her silly hero name and catch phrase, her peace sign and smile. He got the feeling she’d be someone Grayson would get along well with; but, for Damian, she was simply an annoyance.
Looking her straight in the eyes, for with her crouching and him standing, they were now the same height, he regarded her with a cold look. Damian wondered, vaguely, how she had survived this long.
❝ Are you playing dumb, or are you simply that stupid? ❞ Way to go for democracy, Robin. ❝ I’m not a child to be coddled and fussed over. As for you, don’t act ignorant. We’ve met before, when you ruined my stakeout of these two. ❞ A leg was lazily extended, the tip of Damian’s boot digging itself into one of the dealer’s ribs. At her comment about parents, though, his lip curled slightly. ❝ I already called the police. Guess you were too busy being useless to notice. ❞
Oh dear. She pinched a nerve with him. She could tell by his stance and the way he looked at her that she wasn’t pleased with the way she spoke to him. He’s right though, it was her from the other night and if he was this smart to figure it out then there’s no point in hiding it. She took off her bright red mask and gave him another goofy grin.
“You caught me! I just didn’t want it to be obvious... but there’s no point hiding from you is there?” She stayed crouching down so she can give him proper eye contact and she bowed her head a little to him.
“I apologize then. I didn’t mean to cause you trouble. You really did do an amazing job.” Out of the corner of her eye she took see one of the crooks crawling towards the boy from behind with a concealed weapon. Her eyes narrowed onto the gun that was on the floor and picked it up to point it behind the boy.
“Drop it. It’s two against one and that’s not really fair isn’t it? The police are coming, you’re already caught.”
