Dealing with Batman and his unyielding personality could be so goddamn irritating sometimes. Take his most recent assignment, for instance: Duke had been tasked with  keeping an eye ( AKA around the clock surveillance ) on a woman by the name of Selina Kyle, and he was NOT feeling it.

‘ You want me to spy on Selina? As in Catwoman? ‘ he’d asked, confusion etched deep into the ridge of his brow. ‘ Like... honorary Bat fam and kind of your friend, Selina? ‘

He didn’t know her personally, but he’d heard a few stories --- knew that she protected Gotham in her own way, even if it didn’t necessarily involve throwing goons off of rooftops or battling former thespians turned clay monster. 

Even a few of the We Are Robin kids had spoken highly of her. They said she’d looked out for them when nobody else would. It left a pit in his stomach to betray the trust of somebody like that. It was supposedly for her protection, but Duke wasn’t buying it. Wasn’t that the whole point of leaving this life behind --- to avoid needing to always look over your shoulder?

Hours later, as he walked briskly down the street trying to catch up to the woman before the men behind him, he was still trying to take his foot out of his own mouth.

     “ You sure? “ he asked while pushed past her, hands stuffed deep into the pockets of his jacket and balled into the tightest of fists. “ I bet its better than that back there. “

He turned halfway, honey colored eyes shifting over her shoulder, coupled with a slight shift of his head towards the four human sweatsuits lumbering their way through the sparse crowd.

   there haven’t been any days lately where the unforgiving weight of regret doesn’t bind her so 𝚂𝙺𝙸𝙽 unbearably tight to her 𝙱𝙾𝙽𝙴𝚂 . every alley is still with the shadows of hope to turn the corner and see her there . to be told she’s made a mistake . for trademarked vigilante to grab her by the wrist and tell her that this isn’t home ( 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙸𝚂𝙽'𝚃 𝙷𝙾𝙼𝙴. 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙸𝚂𝙽'𝚃 𝙷𝙾𝙼𝙴 ; ) to make her realize that the static behind her eyes is an illusion . to shake her 𝙰𝚆𝙰𝙺𝙴 from 𝚂𝙻𝙴𝙴𝙿 that has yet to come . 

   it’s pointless to think about . ( hope is what got her here . taking more than she deserved . ) this is her 𝙷𝙾𝙼𝙴 . these 𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙴𝙴𝚃𝚂 are not 𝙲𝙰𝚃𝚆𝙾𝙼𝙰𝙽'𝚂 , they’re 𝚂𝙴𝙻𝙸𝙽𝙰'𝚂 and just selina’s . they have to be … though this is the furthest from home she’s ever felt . but she’ll brush off scraped knees, grit her teeth, start again . like always .

  suddenly aware , she wakes from the daydream . a soft sensation drags itself around the surrounding white noise  . a dull knife on the cushy clouds of her consciousness . the dirt under her boots grinds at the halt of her steps ; heels setting calmly against the concrete . she doesn’t make eye contact.     ❝    whatever you’re selling    i’m not interested .    ❞

open to mutuals.

Now that he spent his daylight hours in black and yellow kevlar, it felt strange wearing a normal outfit. His shirt felt too loose on his body, like he was wearing the wrong set of skin or something. But this was supposed to be a friendly visit, not a shakedown.

Contrary to what some folks might thing, the BAT SYMBOL was not the answer to every problem.

Speaking of symbols, he couldn’t help but notice the way several eyes gravitated towards him as he walked by, lingering on the stylized R emblazoned on the breast of his red leather jacket. Not surprising --- it was only a few years ago that the Mayor had declared war on anyone bearing the emblem.

The woman he was going to see had done him an enormous solid the other night, whether she knew it or not. One of the kids on his vigilante payroll had gotten into some trouble while on an assignment for Duke the other night. Word on the street was some badass enigmatic blonde had swooped in and saved her, right before taking off with a briefcase of mass importance to all parties involved.

It had been impossible to find her through the usual avenue...which was odd, because the ‘ usual avenue ‘ was literally the most powerful search engine on the planet.

Luckily, one of the birds had flagged little Miss Spy Kids out and about and sent it up the grapevine, which was how Sharon found the young man sliding into the patio chair across from her. 

     “ This place has a bomb ass brunch. You’ve        got some good taste.

     “ ----- And though we gather in good will and celebration, let us never        forget the real real we are here. The Lucius Fox Center for Gotham        Youth was born out of tragedy --- out of a necessity to provide for         the children of Gotham displaced by the Joker’s monstrous attack         six years ago.

        We built this place to be more than just a shelter or a soup kitchen.         We wanted it to be a school. A sanctuary. 

         ----- Thanks to you all, and your donations, that dream has become            a reality. “

He really didn’t understand how Bruce pulled it off, sometimes.

Not the whole ‘ vapid billionaire idiotic ‘ schtick. It really didn’t take much to look like an irresponsible white person with money, especially in a town like Gotham. But the rest of it, the crawling through the cesspools of society and emerging night after night covered in shit and despair and cruelty but still finding the fucking audacity to preach about HOPE.

Like, please. Forreal. Someone tell him how. On a day like today, how was he supposed to just...pretend?

Duke was still pondering this question as he settled into the corner spot of the open bar, hoping desperately that Dr. Thompkins didn’t spot him ordering a drink. She wasn’t his mama, but she damn sure still tried to act like it.

     “ Crown apple with coke, please. And her? Pretty        lady in the dress? Whatever she wants. “

     “ Opponents that use such....unique tactics? “

When Lady Shiva used to talk about ‘ using every weapon at your disposal ‘ when in combat, he thought she’d been talking about conventional weapons, or trying to remind him to think of his metahuman abilities as a tool, not pretty people getting him flustered in the middle of a fight.

Talk about catching him with his pants down. Ba dump tish!

@xebelians​ April 19, 2021     7:47 P.M. Location: Amusement Mile, Gotham City

When he’d received the text from Bruce that morning about ‘ official Justice League business ‘, Duke had been ecstatic. He had no problem tussling with organized crime and keeping his own backyard clean, but the JL was the BIG leagues; these dudes were out there fighting off alien invasions and closing interdimensional portals on the daily, so Duke just knew he was in for some smoke if they were a’callin’. 

Maybe B had told them about his metahuman abilities? Or-or-orrrrr they knew your boy had been trained by the Lady Shiva, Mistress of the Empty Hand and single-handedly the baddest motherfucker he’d ever met ( including Batman, though he’d keep that one to himself. )

Whatever the reason for their summoning, the artist currently known as Signal just knew he was about to be handed the mission of a lifetime. This was the chance to prove himself, and show his various mentors that their training and investment hadn’t just been wasted.

Hours later, as he and Mera stood in the LONGEST GODDAMN LINE IN THE WORLD, he found himself struggling to hold onto that mentality.

It was the first time in about four years that people were allowed to step foot into Amusement Mile, and it seemed like every single citizen of Gotham was trying to make up for lost time. It had been closed since the Joker’s vicious attack a little while back, before Duke had officially joined up with the squad.

Honey gold eyes hardened into amber as the guy behind him stepped on the back of his shoes. Dude had one more time, real talk. These weren’t even his good J’s, but that didn’t mean he wanted dude’s ugly ass Sketchers marking his shit up.

He took a step closer to the woman at his side, a crimson haired woman with an unearthly, almost alien sort of beauty to her.
