It was the last light before leaving city limits, and of course it was red.
Jason silently grumbled in the back seat, forced to squish his long legs into the small space while Dick was the one who drove, the shrimp. (He was only two inches taller than Dick but he was going to complain about the unfairness the entire time. Stupid coin toss. He knew he should have picked heads for luck–it had certainly paid off when he took over Gotham’s crime circuit.)
The sound of a motorycle pulling up caught his attention and he glanced out the window curiously. A black and silver Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE slowed to a stop beside Bruce’s Ghost, but surprisingly, the bike was not what made Jason stare, it was the rider.
A black helmet with red trim covered her head, but the riding leathers did nothing to hide her feminine form. She felt his stare and flipped up the visor.
Sparkling blue eyes caught his and she raised an eyebrow in a question/challenge.
He rolled the window down. “Nice bike!”
“Thanks; you bike too?”
“Yeah, have a Multistrada V4 S.”
“Nice.”
The light turned green and Jason cursed its fickleness for cutting short his chat with Biker Girl, but to his surprise she kept up with them and they yelled chatted for a while, introducing themselves and talking shop.
“I turn right up ahead, do you?” she finally called.
Jason shook his head. “We’re keeping straight.”
Yanking her glove off with her teeth, why was that so hot, she dug in her pocket with her bare hand and pulled out her phone, opening it to ‘Contacts.’
Jason held out his hand to grab her phone and quickly input his number, then texted himself a bike emoji to get her number.
Leaning out the window, he returned her phone, their fingers brushing as he did so. “Have a safe ride!” he called, and Marinette nodded and waved as she sped around the curve.
Jason met Dick’s gaze in the rearview mirror.
“Are you happy you came, Little Wing?”
Jason glared at him. “‘Are you happy you came, Little Wing?’” he mocked. “You sound like such a dad.” He pulled out his phone, ignoring Dick, and immediately made a new contact for Marinette (bike emoji).
Me: Hey, this is Jason from the car. Would you be free to meet for tea sometime?
