Gaze continued to be fixated on her.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Swallowing on his inner cheek as he studied Alexis for a good moment, before snapping out of it and take a sip of his drink as well.

“Then what exactly is your intention?

It’s a strange way to attract my attention, if I’m really honest.”

A single eyebrow perked up as his ➤

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

She absolutely could snap and not think twice about it, it wouldn’t mean anything to Punchline. In fact ? It would bring a whole new level of joy.

A small set of hands snatched the drink as soon as he put it on the table merely to take a sip before answering the question.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Treats, again?

Fine, fine, but also take her out for a little walk.

[𓂃 ࣪˖ 𝓚𝗢𝗥𝗜͟𝗔͟𝗡͟𝗗’𝗥 .ᐟ @tamaranembers]

then it’s settled. she’ll bring treats,
they’ll take photos, sit out in the sun;
possibly take one very small nap
on the sofa together. she’ll be in
good hands.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

He still owes me something for keeping an eye on his beautiful city.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

Yes, but you know it won’t.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

… It’s very questionable.

Uhu, I’m here.

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

𝘯𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘯𝘰 — the arrangement was perfect.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒕 .ᐣ Bruce .ᐣ

No way ⸺ but, if it works, will you actually do it?

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

I don’t know — can you get Bruce to bring me matcha for a week? Now that’d be worth it.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Yeah, I should have been more 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 with that arrangement.

Well, what would you like?

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

It’s called a loophole.

Unless you want to entertain 𝙢𝙚 instead.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

No. But,

Torture is not 𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒚.

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

I never said killing though, Did I ? I didn’t break the 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Yes. No killing.

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

Aw , don’t sound so disappointed.

We talked about this.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

I knew you would say that. Ugh.

You can figure something out.

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

where’s the fun in that ?

Nobody, please. * 🫩

hm, who to use it
on 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 .ᐟ

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Yes, a lot. I’ll handpick the matcha in Japan.

What would you want in return?

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

You know how much a matcha costs, right? Do you think my rates are that low?

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Black Canary on MTV unplugged, please.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

I make you fresh matcha for a whole month, twice a day.

I get you performing Smells Like Teen Spirit with a live band.

[Dinah Lance @ofdecibels]

…Go on.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

I have an offer for you, @ofdecibels.

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

That’s actually sweet. Haley would love the company — don’t worry, he still gives her plenty of attention.

[𓂃 ࣪˖ 𝓚𝗢𝗥𝗜͟𝗔͟𝗡͟𝗗’𝗥 .ᐟ @tamaranembers]

alright, then she’ll drop by
for a few ﹠ solemnly swear
not to be too much of a

she’ll go keep haley
company.

It’s just silly investigator stuff behind a computer.

It’s not like he would send her away.

[𓂃 ࣪˖ 𝓚𝗢𝗥𝗜͟𝗔͟𝗡͟𝗗’𝗥 .ᐟ @tamaranembers]

ah, she sees . . . well, if he happens
to need a partner in crime-stopping

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

usual order and to top it all off, ordered a drink for himself as well.

Minutes later he joined her at the spot near the window, settling down in the chair opposite of her and placing the drink in front of her.

"Really, you are a regular here? Do you even pay?"

[Nightwing. @BirdInTheNight]

Questionable decisions have been made before and this certainly felt like one of them. And with her being a regular in this cafe, he began to question if she could really just snap and go for a kill streak inside of this building.

Waiting in line, he eventually got her ➤

[PUNCHLINE / ALEXIS KAYE. @JOKEENDS]

❝ Lucky for you, I go here regularly.. Ask for Alexis’s usual and they’ll know what to do, 𝙗𝙤𝙮 𝙗𝙡𝙪𝙚. ❞

A wink before walking to the left side of the cafe to sit in the back next to a window — the clown sat down and played on her phone in the meantime.
