Chapter Text
“Your city is in ruins. You are-” Red Hood stopped, gloves half off, and raised an eyebrow. “You’re wearing my jacket.”
Swaddled in the thick fabric and leather, only Ladybird’s face was still visible, her expression trapped between a scowl and a pout. “Well you asshat, it’s cold down here, and you left it in my reach. If you weren’t too tight to heat your lair while keeping me prisoner down here, I wouldn’t have had to resort to thievery.”
“You look adorable,” Red Hood said, forcing a sneer into his voice. Because she did. She looked adorable and warm and perfect.
Ladybird’s pout was a little more defined than her scowl now, her bottom lip poking out. “I am not adorable. And you're my worst enemy. My nightmare man. The guy who destroyed my city. You of all people shouldn’t say I’m adorable.”
Red Hood blushed and turned around, as if she could even see it with his helmet on, and just walked away without saying a thing.
It wasn’t until a few hours later when Ladybird’s team managed to break in and rescue her, did Jason think about how small and cute Ladybird had looked. And just so kissable.
Wait.
Did he like Ladybird?
Jason groaned at the realization. He liked someone who thought of him as their “Nightmare Man.”
His revenge plan just got a little more complicated.
