If You Can't Stand The Heat

Cap 0.07

"Mom hasn’t been feeling well lately"

"One would say that, after me and my little brother Beau, a woman her age should know the symptoms, right? But she says nothing about it..."

"And who do you think is the father? Does your mother have a boyfriend? She’s pretty... Nice," Gordon giggled.

"My father died less than three months ago. It could be him... I need you to get me more chores, Gordon, please! Beau is still in diapers, and you can’t know how much diapers cost!"

Gordon laughed even louder

"And I’m very, very careful never to learn it, little Dustin. I’ll see if I can get you involved in my next... secret mission. See you in the next few days, man."

Almost a week passed without Dustin hearing news from Gordon, and his mother Brandi was getting "worse and worse".

"Dustin, your brother Beau only wants you!"

"Don’t say that, Mom! Beau adores you," Dustin said, but he thought it wasn’t so strange that he was his brother’s favorite, since his mother had never paid him any attention.

His job, his mother, his little brother, his girlfriend.. Dustin's day were so fast and so busy that he could barely sleep, let alone study!

But every time Dustin came home with a D, Brandi completely lost control, and she started screaming.

Dustin didn’t understand. He didn’t understand how everything changed so quickly.

Of course, even when his father was still alive, they weren’t rich, but at least Dustin could focus on his studies and his friends.

And now he suddenly became the head of the family.

While her eldest son was at school, Brandi often received a visit from Dina. Dina was such a good friend! With her Brandi was feeling still young and ready to live her best life!

And Dina was the right person to confide her concerns to.

"I think I might be pregnant, Dina. By Skip... But I'm not ready to take a test, who would want a posthumous son of Skip Broke? That fucking asshole..."

"Listen Brandi, you’re going out with my sister, her boyfriend and me tonight. Let’s go to dinner and have a drink, we’ll relax! You deserve it!"

"Dustin, I’m going out with my friends tonight. Will you take care of Beau?"

"Mom, Angela’s having a party. I told you last week. Do you have to go out just tonight?" Dustin asked.

But he already knew the mother’s answer.

"You always get bad grades, and you haven’t been going to work lately. We’re gonna have to pay rent in a few days, and Beau’s milk is running low. You know, Dustin, how stressed am I?"

That’s when the phone rang.

It was Angela, and she wanted to talk to Dustin. But Brandi nervously answered that Dustin was not available.

She closed the call and lay down on the couch for a nap.

Dustin was angry, but he was used to repressing his anger. He tried to turn it into energy and committed to doing homework for the next day.

An unwise idea was forming in his mind...

Brandi had a nice night out with Dina, Nina and Don. She had fun, and she was feeling calm, because she knew that in that moment she had no responsibility.

"Nina, didn’t you say that maybe Brandi is pregnant? She shouldn’t drink!" Don said inappropriately.

Meanwhile, at home, Dustin had prepared dinner for little Beau, he bathed him and read him a bedtime story.

Then he had put some clothes rolled up under the covers of his bed, so that in the dark that mess seemed like it was him asleep. And now he was ready to go to Angela’s party... leaving Beau home alone.

Luckily Brandi came home just a few moments later.

"Hey, did you see that great yellow sports car? It must was Daniel’s car, it’s so incredible!" Don said.

"Daniel who?" Asked Brandi.

"Daniel Pleasant, sweety, your son's father in law" answered Don.

Some skeleton haunted my dreams, help me

- @babsggordon

I’m currently in the middle of something but if you can give me some more information about those dreams I’ll see what I can do once I’m back home

If it’s some kind of message you’re receiving I’d need more information before I could give you an interpretation since skeletons have a lot of potential interpretations in dream symbolism

If it’s that the nightmares are simply plaguing you I can make an oil that will make you forget your dreams?

Though it might be better to get a dream catcher if you’re going that route

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)

In today’s review, I find that a new change of place, may not be enough to escape your past. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1998, anniversary of Halloween H20 20 Years Later. #JamieLeeCurtis #JoshHartnett #AdamArkin #MichelleWilliams

We all have that desire or inclination, deep in the back of the mind, that wonders what if we could run away from our responsibilities and start over; away from the baggage of the past? In 1998, over two decades since Michael’s attack on October 31st, we might find out that a certain resident of Haddonfield might have just done that. Yet the events of Halloween may still shadow her life, and the…

[seraphont]

opinion on babysitter J? As in J's just really good at taking care of children somehow? Like how Gordon Ramsay yells at adults but when it comes to children he's really gentle? :3

I think it’s hilarious, first of all, I don’t think the moron squad has really seen kids or pill babies (other than beau, rip) until being around the colony. so J’s probably like “?? Wth are those little drone things”, assuming the drones at the manor were all made in a factory.

I think kids would love her. I imagine that she talks to them like they’re little tax paying adults, and they eat that up. They think she’s putting on an elaborate bit with her persona, but she’s just built like that LMAO. She'd probably be really irritated by their chaoticness initially, but when she starts corralling them like she would her squad, she starts to become fond of them.

Seth and his Brothers

“Seth Gordon was one of the first Foxes signed to Palmetto State University. Born and bred in Birmingham, Alabama, he was the fourth of seven sons.”

Sibling relations that haunt the narrative but it’s me thinking about the Gordon brothers.

Stetson

Jeremy (only one canonically named)  

Beau

Seth 

Charlie

Cooper

Tommy 

Stetson - Oldest brother (6 years older than Jeremy, 10 years older than Seth)

The first child

Never got along well with his parents, specifically his dad.

Moved out as soon as he turned 18, 2 months before his dad left

Seth only holds vague memories of him playing baseball and teaching him to swim. 

Jeremy (4 years older than Seth)

Dark brown hair, Dark brown eyes, crooked nose from that one time Seth broke it, 5’11

Became the oldest when Stetson left

Used to look up to his big brother, even though Steson never really wanted to hang out with his younger brother a lot.

Became the ‘Man of the House’ and parent overnight the day after his 12th birthday

Had to figure out how to get 5 boys under the age of 10 to eat vegetables and shower

Of course he resorted to violence

In all seriousness, this child was just going off the examples he had

Being raised in the south by parents who clearly didn’t have much concern with their children’s development, Jeremy had already received his fair share of spankings

And to a child that age, there really is no difference than a spanking for misbehaving and being hit for no reason

So he used the skills he had to make sure Seth and his brothers didn’t wander too deep into the woods and hosed themselves off in the backyard before they tracked mud into the house

Missed his fair share of school to take care of the others

The baby’s got hay fever? That pre algebra test is not of importance right now

Never cared for school too much anyway, always preferred to work with his hands

His dream is to build himself a log cabin out in the woods and live out there alone

Favorite color is green, favorite season is summer, favorite genre is dad rock (they parentified the fuck out of him)

Is closest to his brother Beau

Is aro ace but doesn’t really care? He’s never had an interest in dating or sex but he chalked most of it up to just being to stressed

Goes to trade school once he finished high school and becomes a welder

Doesn’t leave home until Tommy is 16. He feels like he can’t

Tries to keep in touch with all of them but sometimes it's just too much

Has a gorgeous cocker spaniel he named goldie. 

Beau (3 years older than Seth)

Dark brown hair, Dark brown eyes,freckles, 5’10

Brother closest in age and relationship to Jeremy (it helps that they shared a room growing up)

Was the quiet one out of the older 4

Hates haircuts so his hair is grown out all skater boy mophead-like (teen wolf season 1 scott mccall haircut fr)

Picked up odd jobs throughout middle and highschool to help his mom with the bills

He’s been a tutor, a shelver at the library, a busboy, you name it and Beau did it at 13

Knows how to sew really well from constantly patching up everyone’s clothes

Because he’s quieter and one of the shorter brothers, the average outsider assumes he’s fragile

He’s actually the most violent of them

Him and Jere once broke the dining room table roughhousing because Jeremry tried to force him to cut his hair

Beau picked up the scattered splinters with a bloody hand while Jeremy tried to fix the table 

The table still wobbles a bit

Got into a lot of fights at school, ended up being recruited for his school’s wrestling team

Was almost a state champion but got ill before his last match because Cooper brought home some stomach bug and got everyone in the house sick.

Moves in with his friend when he graduates and takes classes at community college

Comes home every now and then to make sure they don’t burn the house down or kill each other

Favorite color is blue, favorite season is winter, favorite genre is country (couldn’t free him)

Is now an ESL teacher at an elementary school

Has an on again off again girlfriend (like his brother) who is a librarian.

Charlie (one year younger than Seth)

Dark brown hair, Hazel eyes, uneven undercut and snakebites 5’11

Was once Seth’s other half

They shared everything growing up: a room, clothes, music tastes, girls

Got into less trouble than seth in school but outside of it was a different question

Got caught shoplifting and vandalizing buildings like every tuesday

Once tried to steal the tip jar at this small grocery store but the owner caught him

The owner, Owen, offered to workout some kind of deal with Charlie instead of calling the cops (after charlie begged him not to, because one more report and they were going to send him away, potentially for good-)

So charlie starts working at the store

Granted, he’s making pennies on the dollar but he's 14 and he doesn’t mind too much

Owen is the first kind male authority figure he’s had like ever so he enjoys spending time at the store.

And this has nothing to do with owen’s son whose the same age as charlie and really cute 

He kind of hates school but only goes because he truly cannot give the local sheriff's office another excuse to get him in trouble

He does enjoy witnessing the store function as a business though

The budgeting, the inventory, payroll, he wants to learn all of that

Seth thinks he’s a maniac but what does Seth know? He literally joined the chorus 

Graduates school by like the skin of his teeth but when he does Owen promotes him to associate manager (he’s the longest working employing second only to Owen himself)

Obviously doesn’t go to college but when Seth gets recruited to Palmetto he’s decked out in orange trust

He makes it to one game prior to Seth’s 5th year and he lost his voice cheering (they lost)

Is queer but also doesn’t care, he just likes what he likes and never really tells anyone

Favorite color is red, favorite season is summer, favorite genre is rock/midwest emo (same as Seth’s) 

Floats in and out the house after graduating depending on if he is currently in�� a relationship and if he’s staying with them

Cooper (3 years younger than Seth)

Light brown hair, Dark brown eyes, almost constant tan somehow, 6’1

You know how Noah Kahan said “Attention deficient kids in their gym clothes”? Yeah he was singing about Cooper 

The brother with the most property damage under his belt and not even because of anger issues and lashing out, he’s just impulsive as fuck

He’s also very angry but that doesn’t really change anything, he is a Gordon after all

Truly spent the first 16 years of his life just doing shit and trying to avoid the consequences

Gives him great uncle lore though

Wanna hear about the time he played Mercutio in his school's production of Romeo and Juliet? What about the time he stole a catalytic converter? 

The others are kind of scared of him only because they never know what to expect

He joins his school’s JROTC his junior year and uses the national guard as a reserve officer to pay for college.

He majors in kinesiology and becomes a physical therapist 

He moves out after he gets his degree

He’s not particularly close with his brothers but he loves them all

He’s shit with birthdays so he usually doesn’t remember to call them until 2 months after

They don’t mind.

As mentioned before, he does have adhd

His guidance counselor points it out to his mom but she never does anything with that information so he never gets an official medical diagnosis

Or medication 

Safe to assume he tried his fair share of substances as a teen

He had to stop all of that when he started basic though, and he will admit he’s better for it

He finally gets an official diagnosis and medication after he completes his service obligation

Favorite color is orange, favorite season is summer, favorite genre is rap (is also a surprisingly big folk pop fan)

Has 2 orange cats names lulu and lemon

Romance status: crushing on the receptionist at his job, hard.

Tommy (5 years younger than Seth)

Dark brown hair with gray streaking through, Hazel eyes, birthmark on his cheek that looks like a bruise, 6’0

Is the youngest Gordon brother

When he was first born they used to just call him “the baby” and the nickname has stuck, despite tommy’s protests

Started graying early at 16 like all the other Gordon brothers but chose to not dye his hair and cover it up like they do.

Dyslexic and chronically online, the worst combination

Looked up to Seth and Charlie the most growing up

He played exy for a bit because Seth did but he didn’t really care for the sport

Took up soccer and found a really joy for it

He was also really good

Is probably the loudest brother

Felt quite lonely growing up because he was treated as the baby brother everyone had to take care of but no one wanted to hang out with

Is disastrously bisexual but prefers to not say anything and let others figure it out on their own

Loves birds but couldn’t have one growing up because Jeremy and Seth were always bringing home random dogs and natural enemies you know

Gets a soccer scholarship to Palmetto (almost didn’t take it because he hates orange)

Majors in Real Estate and becomes an agent when he graduates

Favorite color is blue, favorite season is fall, favorite genre is indie (his spotify wrapped is the most random thing ever)

I could talk about how they react to Seth’s death but in my mind he’s still alive! So instead I will use the idea someone else had i forgot who, where Seth survived the overdose but was in rehab for the year so he has to repeat his 5th year.

Jeremy’s phone wakes him up in the middle of the night and he’s pissed. He looks over and sees a number he doesn’t have saved but looks vaguely familiar. He answers and it's Allison, Seth’s sorta girlfriend.

She’s crying

She tells him Seth overdosed and that this one is bad. (She seems to be holding something back but he doesn’t push. He assumes it’s just preemptive grief)

He asks her if there’s anything she needs from him but he already knows her answer, they’ve done this dance before, this isn’t Seth’s first overdose.

She just tells him to stay close to his phone and hangs up.

Jeremy sighs, sends a text off to the family group chat saying Seth overdosed and went back to sleep. Sue him, he has an early shift in the morning.

Midway through the next day he gets a text from Allison telling him how Seth is being forced into rehab for the next 9 months.

He leaves work early and goes to Beau’s school because clearly this was more serious than he thought

He feels guilty for not being more concerned earlier but he’s in Alabama and Seth is in South Carolina there wasn’t much he could do but now that he’s really thinking hecould’vediedBeauhepropbablyalmostdied-

They take off work the next day and drive up to SC

By time they get there it's too late and Seth has already been admitted into Easthaven and he is not allowed visitors.

They still see Allison though, who fills them in more about Seth

She’s clearly upset but it feels like more than his overdose, or even his institutionalization 

She doesn’t say anything about it though

They go home and tell the others everything they know

So they can’t see Seth until April of next year

They write him letters instead

He never responds, they don’t know if he’s not allowed to send mail out or if he just doesn’t want to

They tell him everything in the letters

Beau talks about his girlfriend and their latest fight, Charlie about how Owen fell on his ass the other day, Cooper about his ass of a professor, Tommy about his offer to play at Palmetto, Jeremy about his dog and her beef with the neighbor’s Siamese cats

They write and write and what they don’t know is, Seth reads them all

The letters help keep him sane in there

And when he is released in April, right before his birthday, they all come down to pick him up

The Broke household. Summer, rotation 1. Part 2: Tragedy strikes again

Before Dustin even had the chance to try figure his life out, tragedy hit the family again. During school hours, a lightning strike hit one of the trees in the backyard, and without even thinking, Brandi ran outside and got caught in the flames. Both she and her unborn baby tragically died in the fire that day.

Not only had Dustin lost both his parents but now he was the one responsible for his little brother, too. He knew it meant he had to give up his plan to go to college. Beau needed him, now more than ever.

After the death of his mother, Dustin completely gave up on school. What was the point, anyway? He knew that his best chance in life was the criminal career in which he had already gotten a head start. Once he became an adult he let his boss Gordon King know he was ready to take his job more seriously from now on. He had no other choice. His little brother depended on him.

A short summary of what happened in the Broke round: - Dustin had his first kiss and first woohoo with Angela Pleasant, and they fell in love - Dustin was promoted to level 3 in his part-time job in the criminal career - Dustin graduated from high school with awful grades and grew up badly - Beau learned to walk and grew up well - Beau became best friends with Dustin and Desdemona Capp - Brandi and her unborn child died in a fire T____T

Backstage Spender

The Reader works for the Penguin as a dancer. Undercover, Dick Grayson comes in at Jason’s request for a case. He’s distracted more than once in the process.

Pairing: Dick Grayson x Dancer!Reader

Warnings/Promises: canon-level violence, erotic dancing

Word Count: 2750

Note: This is the first part of the Summer Playlist Series! If you enjoy it, reblogs and comments are super appreciated. And keep an eye out for the next four songfics. Enjoy!

Song: “Big Spender” by Peggy Lee

Working for The Penguin wasn’t the safest thing to do in Gotham, but it was one of the best paychecks a girl could get. The Iceberg Lounge had great insurance (needed for when backstage negotiations broke down), dental, and quarterly bonuses. And because the club money was supposedly kept separate from Mr. Cobblepot’s other dealings, you could accept a paycheck without guilt. 

The music pulsed and thrummed as the busiest hours of the night reached their peak. Soon, you’d have to join your coworkers. You were part of the grand finale: a striptease involving large feather fans. (Everybody ignored the fact that ostrich feathers didn’t match Mr. Cobblepot’s usual aesthetic.) You would also have the last dance before the finale. Until then, you and the other dancers helped booze up the patrons. Money exchanged hands at every table for drinks, light dinners, and other ventures you ignored. What you couldn’t ignore was the handsome figure sitting close to the dance floor. 

“Isn’t that one of the Wayne boys,” your coworker asked. “He’s sitting right on your corner.”

Another girl joined your spot by the bar. “You’re gonna show off for him, right? Get all of his daddy’s dough so you can really enjoy your vacation this weekend.” She gasped at your hesitation. “You should! Look at him. Big smile, big pockets. Shake every cell you got-“

“Yes! Get it, girl!”

With a groan, you turned away from him. “He’s just a normal customer.”

“A first-time customer.” She grinned as both of your friends nudged you at the same time. “Give him a show he’ll never forget.”

You looked back. What could it hurt? He watched the rest of the lounge’s bustle with such delight, maybe he would be delighted by a personal show. “I’ll think about it.” With a huff, you lifted your tray of drinks to the sound of your coworker’s continuing persuasions. 

By the stage, Dick Grayson gently held his head on his palm. Underneath his hair, he pressed a com-link deeper into his ear. “Calm so far. What exactly are you looking for, Jay?”

“Some weapon big-wigs should walk in sometime before the main show, then disappear into the back while everybody else leaves.” Jason tsked over the coms. “Whatcha worried about? Your reputation?”

Dick glanced to the side at another table. Money passed over the top, while a small package passed underneath. “Perhaps. Gordon could retire tomorrow in the Mayor’s good graces if he raided tonight. You are keeping an eye out for cops, right? I don’t need to start a wrap.”

“The only cop around there is you. Now keep your eyes open.”

Dick rolled them instead. Again, he glanced at his watch. There wasn’t much time left. Maybe Jason had the meet-up time wrong. Or the day. Or the month. One could never tell-

Blurred by the echo of the room, the stage host announced the last performance before the big finale. 

Dick took a deep sigh as another song from before the 60’s started to play in the very modern setting. He sat up straight as a pair of large broad shoulders walked through the far doors. He sat up even straighter when the shimmer of silver and purple drew his gaze to the center of the stage.

The bar bolted to the floor at the end of the stage was your baseline. You strutted to it, eyeing the men in the front row. At the first roll of the trombone, you sank to your knees. That jump-started the hooting. And really caught the eye of your main target. You maintained holding his gaze. As Peggy Lee’s voice described her beau, you leaned back against the bar, readying for your first series. He watched you circle the pole, eager as anyone in the room to see you climb it. As the trombone trilled again, you began to spin. 

“Wouldn’t you like to have fun, fun, fun?” You leapt off the pole, walking around the catwalk to twirl your bare legs in front of the patrons. “Let me show you a-“ you bumped your hips in time with the music, “good time.”

As the chorus set in again, you dismounted the stage and made for his chair. At first, he seemed hesitant, looking around at the other patrons. Then your shimmering body held his attention. “Hey big spender… spend a little time with me.” Gently, you stepped between his knees and turned away. Glancing over your shoulder, you were delighted to see his hands twitch against his thighs. Instead of reaching for you, he slid a wallet out of his pocket. 

But before he could pull out a single bill, your song sped up, signaling the end. He hungrily watched you walk away. Green fluttered onto the edge of the stage, but you were already twirling around the pole. For the last note, you spun as fast as you could, dangling back by your knees. To applause, you did your best to catch the money people threw at your outstretched hands. You did a quick set of bows around the stage, collecting the larger bills people held up. 

The Wayne man held up a one hundred bill. With a wink, you let your hand trail over his to claim it. Damn, if it wasn’t the end of the night, you’d offer him the private show he deserved. Instead, you slipped backstage to change costumes. 

Dick was speechless. Maybe it was the atmosphere. Maybe it had been the glitter of your costume. But he was thinking about finding you after the show when an irritated voice interrupted his thoughts.          

“Earth to Nightwing?”

Dick shook himself. Eying side to side, he noted everyone around was too busy watching the stage to notice how flustered he was. “Yeah, what?”

“Where’d they go?”

“Who- oh. They, uh, they’re-um-“

Jason groaned. “You lost them? You lost them!”

Dick stood as the finale’s music began. “I didn’t lose them. Had to keep my eyes forward to keep my cover. Will you calm down?” He walked over to the bar, leaning against it to have a better view of the room. Quickly he scanned the tables. The targets were not visible, meaning they must be backstage. “They headed back, probably to a business room. Give me a minute, and I’ll have an in.” He located the stage door just as the music began to swell again. 

On stage, feathers fluttered left and right, creating a wave of cover for everyone to walk out. You tried to catch sight of your biggest tip, finally noticing him against the bar. You tried to wink, but the choreography spun you away. By the time you’d spun back, he was gone. Was he running away from you? Or maybe heading to his car before the exit rush? Deflated, you finished the rest of the number and left the stage with a smile that evaporated once you hit the wings. All around you, your coworkers flitted from one side of the small dressing room to the other collecting their things. Some would go home together to tiny apartments. And some would go home with a new acquaintance met during the night. 

You’d go home alone. 

Stuffing the last of your things into a bag, you walked out into the hall. Engrossed in your phone, you didn’t hear the scuffle until you bumped into it. 

The back doorman had the Wayne son by the neck, pinning him to the wall. Any second now, it looked like he was going to knock his lights out. 

“What are you doing?” You rushed over, tugging at the bouncer’s arm with no effect. “Since when do we beat up patrons?”

“Since when do I just let boys walk back here when you girls are going home?” The guard pinned you with a hard eye up and down. You hadn’t really changed out, opting for a simple black silk wrap dress on top. “Since when does the boss let you take costumes home?”

You’d forgotten about that rule. Quickly, you reached out to try and tug the Wayne to yourself. “He’s with me.” 

The bouncer let go of his neck at least, though keeping a hold on the front of his shirt. “That true, kid?” 

Dick gulped in air, only partially for looks. “Well,” he swallowed thickly, “she did invite me to spend some time with her-“ 

“Is he paying?” 

“Oh, yes.” Enthusiastically, you nodded and managed to rip him out of the guard’s grip.

“Hmm.” With a huff, he nodded at the doors that led to the private rooms. Convinced that’s where you’d go, he left for the bar.

Both of you sighed in relief. 

You recovered first. “So, why were you back here?” Noticing his gaze drifting down your chest, you pulled the silk over your cleavage. “Well? Why’d I stick my neck out for you?”

“Right. Ah- I’m not actually back here for you.” Like a nervous child, he reached up to run his hand over the back of his head. “I’m looking for a friend- an ex friend- who might be giving something of mine to a new friend of his. Do you happen to know where the office is?”

“Maybe.” Crossing your arms, you bit back a grin to see his shoulders slump. “How much cash you got on you?” 

“What?”

You rolled your eyes. “After you snoop, you’re gonna need an out. And since our large, grumpy friend is under the impression that I’m doing an extra session, you need to pay for the dance you’re gonna get. How much cash you get?”

He winched. “Not enough. You guys take card?” 

Was this guy dense? Or just naive? You looked at him. “Yeah. But I don’t take it you want anybody knowing you’re here. There’s an ATM by the bathroom. It ID’s as a coffee shop across town so guys don’t have this place on their bank statements.” 

“Brilliant,” he said, impressed. “I’ll, ah, go do that now and meet you back at… the rooms.” 

At first, you headed to the private rooms. But before the door could close, you stuck your head out. Instead of the direction towards the ATM, your new headache was walking down the hall towards the boss’s office. With a sigh, you removed your shoes and followed him. 

Dick kept an eye out for any more guards but made it to the ornate door without any more problems. From his pocket, he took out a small device. He knelt, feeding it under the door and tapping his ear com. From inside the office, he heard everything he wanted to. And Jason did too. 

“Finally,” Jason said. “Took you long enough.”

“Sorry. I had a shadow. And then a necklace,” he rubbed his neck. “But are you satisfied?”

”Yeah. I’ve got enough. Get outta there.”

Before Dick could say anything else, Jason was gone. Hissing into the com didn’t bring him back, so Dick assumed his exit would be without back up. Even then, based on what he heard… Dick gathered up his tech. Maybe after they left he could-

A heavy hand landed on his shoulder. It spun him around, bringing him face to face with a guard bigger and grumpier than the last one. 

“Wohoo-“

The guard turned. Then dropped after a punch to the jaw. 

You stood on the other side, massaging the ache in your wrist. “What? I’m a Gotham girl. What were you expecting? A Metropolis waif?”

Dick grinned. He was about to thank you when the door creaked. Fast as lightening, he grabbed your wrist and tugged you into the shadows. No one came out. And the guard was hopefully low enough to be invisible to the peep-hole. Penguin didn’t have cameras around the office. Can’t be indicted on hacked cameras if they don’t exist. 

With a nudge, you motioned behind you to the back hallway. You waited until there was a reasonable distance between you and the office before pinning him to the wall by his lapels. 

“I thought you were getting money for our cover?”

He shrugged. “I lied. I’ve already got the money.” He shifted. “Got a Gotham grip too. Ready to-“

You pressed against him into the shadow of some stage crates. The guard you’d knocked out walked by rubbing his chin. He looked like he was headed to the bar. 

“We’d better go. Come on.”

It was the longest, most silent sprint of your life. You didn’t breathe again until the private door was between you and the hallway. You made him sit down in the ‘throne’, as your crew called it, and shed the silk before turning on the lights. Without music, you swayed your hips and leaned into his face. 

He swallowed thickly, suddenly reminded why he wanted to come back while not on Jason’s time. “Thanks for your help. I can just pay you if-“ He gasped as you turned, grinding your ass into his crotch. He grabbed your hips, but you batted him away. “You really know how to distract a guy, don’t you?”

You hummed a laugh. Angling back, you nuzzled your nose against his cheek. “I’m hoping for a bigger tip since I gave you the extra help.” 

“I might do that.” His eyes closed. Once again, his hands slid over your body. But you didn’t push them away as he spoke. “If I can help out financially in any way, maybe you could help me again some- is it safe to talk in here?”

As you spun face him and sit on his lap, it took everything in you not to laugh at the surprise in his face. “Yes. There’s video in case someone gets too hands. But no audio.” You began to swivel your hips, making his mouth drop open. You would be lying if his handsomeness mixed with the danger wasn’t doing something to you too. “Video starts recording when the lights turn on. But there would be too much to listen to and store in security with all the rooms and the floor. So, video suffices.” As you angled your head back to sway, he leaned in and placed a kiss against your neck. It knocked the air out of you. “That- that costs extra, y’know.”

“Mhmm.” He guided you to lean your head the other way with the crook of his finger on your chin. “I’ve got deep enough pockets.” 

You quickly lost control of the dance. Instead, you began to move based on what felt good for you instead of giving your patron all the pleasure. He began to notice your breathlessness. 

“If you need a name to whisper, my friends call me Dick.”

“I bet they do.”

When your eyes closed, he looked you up and down. He waited until it looked like you were blissed out to mummer, “I really have to go.”

“Yes.” You dug your hands into his hair. “You should.” 

With a deep kiss to your chest, he managed to push you away. “We both should go. Your bouncer will be waiting to see me to the door.” His big blue eyes held you in place. Trailing his finger down the side of your face, he managed to whisper, “if I had more time.“

“We could have a lot of fun.” You forced a smile and stepped off his lap. “Maybe some other time. When you come back, ask for Starfire.”

“I’ll do that.”

He helped you back into your robe and saw you to the dressing room door. The guard was outside, indeed ready to escort him out. Peacefully. 

When he was few minutes down the road, the com-link crackled to life. Jason’s usually irritated calm voice had a tinge of worry. “Where are you?”

“On my way home.” Dick failed to keep the satisfied smile out of his voice. “I had to follow a lead.”

“Oh,” Jason teased. “Has Bruce Wayne’s golden child following daddy’s footsteps by claiming his first conquest?”

“No.” Dick rolled his eyes. “Maybe I just like this woman. Not to mention, she’s got a mean left hook. Might ask her to join the team.”

“That’ll be the day.”

***

The next day when you walked in, all the girls were waiting for you. 

“So, how was your night?”

You ignored them with a smile. 

They gathered around. One of them said, “Rebecca had a night with Bruce Wayne a few years ago. Said he was phenomenal.”

It was a hook. And you took the bait. 

“She can keep him. I’ve got the better Wayne.”
