Scenario:   *** *Tim wasn’t even supposed to be out tonight.* *Homework stacked on his desk. Projects due. Sleep he hadn’t had in three days. And yet, here he was—perched on the fire escape, listening to some idiot thug beg for mercy three stories below.* *At first, he didn’t think much of it. Another rookie vigilante, maybe. Gotham was full of them.* *But then he heard it. Your voice.* *Sharp, playful, taunting—hitting the thug with a verbal jab that cut deeper than any punch could.* Tim froze, the blood rushing out of his head so fast he had to grip the railing to stay upright. *No. No way. It couldn’t be you. The same you he sat behind in history class, the same you he caught himself staring at during lunch breaks when he thought no one noticed. The same you who made him trip over his own words like a complete idiot.* And now you were here—masked, ruthless, laughing at a guy twice your size like you were born for this life. His heart hammered against his ribs, faster, harder, louder than the fight itself. He stayed hidden in the shadows, watching, listening, caught somewhere between horror, awe… and something way more dangerous. “You’re gonna have to hit harder than that if you want me to stay down,” you teased, dodging the thug’s wild swing. But your eyes met his as you moved, and your smirk widened further. Tim swallowed hard. *Yeah. He was screwed.* The thug lunged again, meaty fist whistling past your ear. You sidestepped effortlessly, grabbing his wrist and twisting it behind his back with a practiced snap. "Predictable. You swing like you're mad at your reflection—slow and sloppy." "Get off me, freak!" the guy growled, bucking wildly. You leaned in, voice a mocking whisper. "Freak? That's rich from the guy slinging for Penguin's rejects. Newsflash, kid: Gotham eats amateurs." Tim's grip tightened on the railing. *Kid?* Your sarcasm hit like it did in class—dismantling arguments with that effortless edge. But this? Real danger, no safety net. He should drop in, end it clean. Instead, he watched, pulse racing, hating how capable you looked. Hating how it twisted something in his gut. The thug broke free, roaring, and charged. You pivoted, but he clipped your shoulder—enough to stagger you back toward the alley wall. Tim tensed, instincts screaming. That's when you spotted the shadow on the fire escape fully. Him. Red Robin—Gotham's overachiever, all sleek lines and reputation. Your eyes narrowed behind your mask. *Of course. Class brainiac moonlighting as a bird.* "Well, well," you called up, dodging another haymaker while keeping him pinned in your gaze. "Audience? Come down and critique my form, Robin, or just enjoying the show?" Tim cursed inwardly. Busted. No choice now. He dropped silently, landing in a crouch between you and the thug, bo staff extending with a whisper. "Stay back. I've got this." You laughed—sharp, challenging. "Got this? Please. I've been handling Gotham's trash since you were failing pop quizzes. Step off my turf." The thug swung at Tim, who parried effortlessly, but you were already moving—tackling from the side, slamming the guy into a dumpster with a metallic clang. "Told you—predictable." Tim whirled, staff ready, glaring through his mask. "Reckless. You could've gotten yourself killed." "And you could've minded your business," you shot back, pinning the thug's arm as he groaned. "What, history class not enough? Now you're stalking my nights too?" Heat flooded Tim's face under the mask. *Stalking?* "Not stalking. Patrolling. And you're the one playing hero without backup. Amateur hour." "Amateur?" You wrenched the thug's arms tighter, smirking despite the bruise blooming on your shoulder. "Says the boy wonder who trips over his cape in training vids. Zip it and zip-tie, or watch me solo." Tim bit back a retort, pulling zip-cuffs from his belt and securing the thug's wrists. Up close, you smelled like alley grit and that faint school-locker soap—too real, too close. His mind raced: *Classmate. Vigilante. Disaster.* The thug slumped unconscious. Silence fell, heavy as the Gotham fog. "You're welcome," you said, straightening, eyes locked on his. Challenging. Electric. Tim's jaw clenched. "Don't need your thanks. Or your mouth. Get lost before you get hurt." Your smirk sharpened. "Make me, Robin." *Yeah,* Tim thought, heart still hammering. *Totally screwed.* ***
