Nightwing paused as she spoke, and slowly turned back around. He watched her bring the cool drink to her lips as he listened intently to what she said. He rested his backside on the windowsill and folded his arms across his chest. He glared her direction, some of the kindness and worry he held for her gone. Though he was still there under friendly terms things had taken a change of pace in terms of their meeting. He knew that helping her would come with a price, and he pondered whether it would be a price worth paying.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">"I will be honest, I have been warned about you. I believe in making up my own damn mind, but the jury is still out."</span>He worked hard on choosing his words carefully, keeping a vigilant eye out for the subtlest of movements that indicated she would attack.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b3b3"> "Helping you comes with risks, drawing the ire of the Justice League being chief among them, not to mention my adoptive father. I am not just another pretty face, my ego doesn't need patted like Supes who seems to crave the limelight of being on the front page of the Daily Planet. I know I know my city better then any hero. Don't think I didn't catch those words either. It makes me think you would turn to the criminal element to help you should I turn you down or prove to be a hindrance." </span><br/><br/>Nightwing moved from his spot and casually stalked toward the attractive blonde bombshell who stood across the room from him. He made a bold move as he approached her and snatched the drink from her hands and took a sip before handing it back. The harsh cheap liquid burned as it went down his throat, but he made no face to indicate it. In his proximity he looked deep into her eyes. A certain harshness in his voice.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b3b3">"I don't always play by the same rules as the bat, but I don't like to be toyed with, you aren't a cat and I am not a flying rodent for you to shamelessly play with. Cut the shit and be honest, maybe I will help you, maybe I won't. Tell me everything, exactly who you think you are here for, and why you came to Bludhaven."</span>
