Willow had looked at teh gun boardly but blinked when the hol suddenly appeared in his hand.She had to admit she didnt see that coming..well not really.She turned her head to the read hood and gave a small smirk to him.Holding the tempting eurge to say,'bulls eye'

the man dropped to his knees yelling in pain as he held his hadn,the other criminal gathered together and n\took a seat."who the hell are you?",one yelled

--

Bruce frowned."yes,that would be a majior start"

"I'm the new law in town." Red Hood smiled more. "Your going to answer to me from know on. I get a cut and you can go about your business. However there will be no selling to kids or going anywhere near schools or playgrounds."

The bosses looked at one another.'and if we refuse?",one asked

Another glanced at Willow then the to red hood.'and what about her?"


Bruce took her hand.'so what looks good to you?"

Red hood dropped a bag. "This is what will happen if you don't agree. In the bag is the heads of few lutenients. I wiped them out now imagine what more I could do to your business. As for her, she works for me now. I'll protect your gangs from the police and other gangs so long as you don't cross me."

Willow blinked at the bag,but didnt flinch,after been working for the black skull for years.She was use to that.

One of the thugs looked to Willo."and you,are going to betray the black skull as well?"

Willow smirked."was never loyal to him to begin with"

The thigs looked at each other and nodded."wre in"

"Good." Red Hood vanished. "Just remember the rules."

"Well." Aurora bite her lip. "I'm starving so everything."

Bruce laughed."we could do the buffet option",he mused

The thugs gave one last look to Willow who was now muncing on a small nag of choclate,they looked to one another before slithering away into the night.

Willow ,smiled and once it was clear she headed out ,humming as she took teh back streets

Red Hood landed next to her. "Good job tonight." he kept himself from hugging her knowing that if they others could still be hanging around.

"Sounds good." Aurora chuckled a little and got herself a plate and headed for the line.

Willow smirked softly."thanks ,boss",she said calmly."thanks for not letting the idiot shoot me in the head"

Bruce smileed following her and stayed close."we should do this more"

"Your welcome...at least I made a great entrance." Red Hood smirked a little. "It got my message that's all we need." he lead the way toward her apartment stopping to change back to normal. "Now the real fun begins."

Aurora blushed. "Yeah we should."

Bruce smiled."theres an art exsibit opening this weekend,would you liek to go?"

Willow smiled softly as they reached teh appartments."Waiting for Batman to get word?",she said as they entered the buidling though she scoweled seeing a tall man waiting by the stairs."for crying out loud"

"Who's that? Should I shot him?" Jason asked frowning a little.

"I would love to go." Aurora smiled back then yelped as a kid nearly knocked her over to get to his parents. She caught her balance just barely and kept her food as well smiling as the kid apologized before racing away.

"hes a flurt",Willow grumbeled."though hes harmelss",she said as teh man came over."hi charlry"

Charley grinned."wILLOW,YOUR LATER THEN NORMAL...I MISS OUR FLURTING"

Bruce carefully holding her sholders."you okay?"

Jason took a breath and then stepped between them "Stay away from my girlfriend." his voice was low and full of warning.

"Perfectly fine." Aurora smiled. "To be that age again." she chuckled. "I like my age but sometimes you miss the innocence of being a kid." she sighed softly.

Willow blinked a bit at Jason then looked to Charley.

Charley blinked a bit.'girlfriend?",he said looking shocked."why would she ...but she never...",he gave a small glare at Willow."are you kidding me?!"

Willow shrugged."hes my one and only love..."

Bruce's face grew a bit grave.'yeah",he said softly.Then started to pick out his food

"Sorry I didn't mean to upset you." Aurora paled a little and squeezed his hand gentle then got her own food feeling like a jerk.

"And if I catch you hurting her I'll make sure you regret it." Jason took Willow's hand and pulled her inside elbow checking the man on his way inside.

Willow blinked watching Jason then felt a small blush come to her cheeks as he pulled her inside fliching a little as the man was eln\bow checked against teh wall,as they started to climb up the stairs Willow smiled to Jaosn."thank you...",she said softlyw

Bruce smiled softly.'its fine,i want a better future for teh kids of gotham,s they never have to go through what i did"

"Well I can't have my girl being annoyed." Jason kissed her forehead. "if he bothers you let me know."

Aurora felt even worse. "Your right of course" she gave him a hug before leading the way to a booth.

Bruce blinked a bit but smiled following herHe sid in acrossfrom her and smiled softly at her."don't feel bad"

Wiilow smiled softly."alright",she said unlocking the appartment and pulled him inside kissing him deply.

Jason blinked and then kissed her back pinning her against him.

"But I do feel bad." Aurora made a face. "I don't know how you did it all those years. I don't think I could have handled it."

Bruce smiled."I had Alfred, hes my family",he said softly."i was luky i had him,there are kids who hve no one.."

Willow smirked.'boss you may want to shut the door"

Jason kicked the door shut and pinned her to it as he locked it kissing her deeper. "Is that better?" he smirked back.

"Yeah." Aurora took a breath. "We don't have to talk about this if you don't want to."

Bruce smiled."its fine...",he said softly."But there is one thing i would like to talk about",he said seriously


Willow smirked and kissed him deeply."yes",she said softly."we have an hour until dinner gets here....think you can help me out of this dress untilthen?"

"Oh I can defiantly do that." Jason grinned and picked her up. "It my get ripped a little." he warned.

"What is it?" Aurora cocked her head frowning a little.

Willow grinned running her hands through his hair."that's fine with me"

Bruce sighed."have you talked to Willow lately?",he asked.Before Jason had died,Willow would visit and talk to Aurora ,and even for a little while after."she doesnt talk to em much anymore'
