Description:

A six part series of vignettes capturing the progression of a relationship between a con-man and a hero.

Notes:

Jones is secretly a bat, he's so mild mannered. No one would ever suspect. Neal starts to notice things. Is Jones a bad cop or being blackmailed? What has turned Jones against the FBI?
---
Neal and Jones started dating, but they didn’t tell the team. Peter was already watching Neal’s every move and had a wavering trust in the con man. They didn’t want any trouble.
Neal overhears his boyfriend’s phone conversation, he had not expected it to hurt this much, catching him in a lie. God it sucked to be the one being lied to.
---
He wants Clinton to trust him, to explain everything that was off with him right now. He realized the irony for him wanting his boyfriend to tell him his secrets, yet he still hadn’t even told him a tenth of his own. It didn’t change how Neal felt though.
---
Neal saw a flicker of light shift behind the Micheal or whatever his name was. The flicker solidified into a man wearing a bright freaking yellow superhero suit, like how is that stealthy at all. Clinton would probably be able to tell him which superhero it was but whoever he was, Neal just knew that that man was the best thing he’d seen in a long time.
---
Duke smiled back. Their first date had been a spectacular flop. He’d taken Neal to the museum, he figured it would be a great first date with the artist. And it was right up until the point when one of the restoration specialists recognized Neal for an old con he’d pulled.
---
Ten minutes later the four of them were piling into Mozzie’s taxi.
“Well, that has to be the most anti-climatic rescue ever.” Blue said.
“NEAL!!” Mozzie stared in horror at Red that slid into the front seat with him. “NEAL! Why is the Red Hood in my TAXI?”
