CHAPTER TWO — KISS AND TELL

The first week of classes flew by for Danny and suddenly it was already Thursday and time for his scheduled meeting with Bernard and his mysterious boyfriend at the campus cafe in the two hours before their last lecture of the day.

He was running late, the notes from his last lecture still clutched in his hands and threatening to fly away as he booked his way across the quad towards the central student center building. He managed to slide past the closing door from another student entering and glanced around in search of Bernard’s blonde hair. He had texted Danny that they were there nearly ten minutes ago and sure enough, he spotted Bernard at a table in the corner, sitting across someone with a dark red hoodie and black hair.

He beelined for them and matched Bernard’s friendly grin, plopping down on the seat next to him and across from the guy who looked vaguely familiar but he couldn’t place.

“Hey, you made it!” Bernard laughed at Danny’s disheveled state, scooting a cup of what was hopefully very strong coffee towards him. “I thought Professor Montgomery was gonna try holding you all hostage or something.”

Danny huffed a laugh and started organizing his notes to put them in his bag correctly. “Sure felt like it,” Danny groaned, “man, that guy is the slowest talker I’ve ever heard, it’s excruciating.”

The guy across from him hummed in amusement, eyeing Danny’s sketches and notes, “Advanced Mechanical Engineering?”

Danny sighed, “Yeah, unfortunately.”

The guy hummed again, “You gotta be pretty clever to take that class as a freshman, did you test out or transfer credits from elsewhere?”

Danny shrugged and flushed a little bit, “I tested out but also did my generals online and transferred the credits so I can take more advanced classes earlier. My parents were scientists and I could probably pass intro and beginner mech engineering in my sleep.” He finally managed to get everything in his backpack sorted and turned fully towards him, holding out his hand. “Hi, sorry for being rude. I’m Danny Nightingale.”

The guy smirked a bit and grabbed his hand in a firm grip, “Timothy Drake, pleasure to meet you, Danny.”

Danny’s eyes widened and he glanced from Timothy Fucking Drake to Bernard who’s shit eating grin was growing by the second.

“You wouldn’t happen to be Timothy Drake-Wayne, would you?”

Timothy shrugged. “I prefer to go by Tim.”

Danny barked a laugh and shoved his elbow into Bernard’s side who grunted and shoved him back without much luck. Danny was solid when he wanted to be, thank you very much. “Well, my friend Tucker is going to absolutely lose it when I rub it in his face that I sat at the same table as his idol and had an actual conversation.”

Tim rested his chin in his hand and looked amused. “Oh yeah? Well, make his day and tell him I said hi.”

Danny cackled at that, “I don’t want to be that annoying guy but would you mind taking a selfie for proof? He’s the type to call bullshit without supporting evidence.”

Tim’s eyes actually twinkled at that, “Sounds like a smart guy. Sure.”

Danny grinned and pulled out his Tucker-modified phone, spinning in his seat and pulling Bernard with him so they were facing away from Tim and towards his camera, effectively getting them all in. “Say cheese!”

Tim put on a very obviously media trained smile that Danny now recognized from articles and paparazzi photos, and Bernard held up a peace sign while Danny classily flipped the camera off with a shit eating grin. He laughed and quickly sent it to Tucker with a cheeky ‘my new good friend Tim says hi.’

“Thanks, he’ll probably faint.”

“Well, anything for a fan,” Tim waved it off only half sarcastically, eyes locked on Danny’s phone that was now on the table. “What model is that?”

Bernard sighed ruefully and Danny shot him an amused look before answering Tim. “It was originally an old Wayne Tech, I think. Until Tuck got his hands on it and did whatever magic he does.” Danny gave the dog a bone and slid it over to Tim to inspect. “I don’t know exactly what he did but I think I have the detailed manual he lovingly and painstakingly crafted somewhere if you’re interested. Or I can send you his information and you can absolutely make his life by complimenting his handiwork,” Danny not so subtly suggested. He was a fantastic friend and wing man and if Tucker ever said otherwise he was a dirty rotten liar.

Tim hummed as he fiddled with the hardware and poked around on the lock screen. “Do you have a carrier?” He frowned, poking some more.

Danny shrugged, “I don’t think so? Tucker’s always ranting about them robbing the public blind so I think he made a way around it. Unless someone is mysteriously paying a bill I don’t know about, but I doubt it.” Plus the small fact that he had signal even in the Realms, a feat Danny was positive no regular carrier company could pull off.

“Huh,” Tim stated, fascinated.

Bernard groaned, “Great, now you have him hooked. Make sure you get that thing back from him or he’ll steal it and spend all night reverse engineering it and I’ll have to call Con to help me lure him out of his cave.”

Tim spared a glance to glare at his boyfriend and not so subtly kicked him under the table and Danny laughed, amused at their antics and reminded of his friends. “Who’s Con?”

Bernard lit up and Tim’s face got a little softer around the edges. Danny liked whoever this Con was already. “Our boyfriend! He doesn’t take classes here and is busy with work or else I’d have dragged him along but you’d like him!”

Danny laughed in disbelief and groaned into his hands. “You’re kidding me.”

He could practically feel Tim and Bernard stiffen and looked up quickly to see their stony expressions, a far cry from the light and openness from moments before and Danny kicked himself for ruining it. “You got a problem with that?” Tim asked flatly, eyes narrowed. Danny sensed the underlying danger in it all and held his hands up, blanching.

“No, no! Literally not at all,” he stammered in a rush, trying to bring back the happy feelings from before. “I’m just somehow doomed to be surrounded by poly relationships while my love life continues to be very much a disaster.”

Tim and Bernard shared a look and relaxed minutely but were still guarded so Danny slid his phone back to himself and pulled up his album dedicated solely to his favorite group of lovable idiots. “Here they are,” he said with a fond grin, showing the other two the latest picture of Sam, Val, and Tucker hugging and laughing at some diner or other, clearly lovesick and giddy (even Sam who rarely showed true emotion in photos). Bernard let out a loud, “Aww,” hand over his heart and Tim relaxed fully again, smile back, thank the Ancients.

Danny pointed to Tucker in the middle with fries sticking out of his mouth like fangs (Tucker was absolutely going to murder him—again—for showing Timothy Drake this particular picture, but Danny thought it was worth it). “That’s Tucker Foley, tech extraordinaire and my best friend since we were in diapers,” Tim cocked his head to take in the picture better, assessing, now that he could put a face to the tech. “He’s going to CalTech for Compsci and Engineering and Sam and Val,” he pointed to the two respectively, “are at UCLA for Environmental Sciences and Bio Engineering.”

Bernard let out an appreciative noise, “Tim, I love them already. Enviro Sci and Bio and Tech! They’re basically alternate us! Damn, I wish Con was here,” he pouted and pulled out his phone to presumably text said boyfriend. Danny laughed, and took his phone back, scrolling past other pictures with a smile. Oh how he missed his friends.

Tim slid his phone over and Danny took a look at a picture of the three of them, Bernard and Tim pressed to either side of who Danny presumed to be Con, a tall punk looking guy with circle sunglasses and artfully spiked up black hair. “That’s Conner,” Tim supplied with a smile edging towards fond.

Danny smiled back, “Damn, you guys are adorable.”

Bernard swooned against him and Tim flushed a bit and snatched his phone back. “I know, right,” Bernard cooed, and Danny laughed, shoving him back upright. “I’m like the luckiest guy in the world, somehow snagging a rich genius and a hot punk rocker. My life is like, the best,” Danny fake gagged and Tim rolled his eyes but took his boyfriend’s offered hand across the table.

“Fuck, I really thought I would be free of insufferably sappy trios that make me feel oh so insufferably single,” Danny sighed, thunking his head on the table.

Bernard patted his back in sympathy, “There, there,” he hummed, “I’m sure we can find you your very own harem in no time.”

Danny groaned, “Yeah, no thank you, I could barely handle one person at a time which is why I didn’t join their group in the first place despite their insistence that a ‘polycule’ has a better ring than a ‘tripoly’.”

“Well, then that makes it even easier. I think Tim has a couple spare siblings we can hook you up with — ow! Kidding!”

Tim glared and pointed a stern finger at his boyfriend, “Don’t even joke. Danny doesn’t deserve to be subjected to any of those heathens and you know it. He’d get eaten alive.”

“Hey!” Danny exclaimed, offended. “I’m tougher than I look!”

“No, no,” Bernard patted his shoulder in sympathy, “he’s totally right. I wouldn’t subject you to that realm of chaos.”

Oh, if only they knew that Danny literally ruled over an infinite realm of chaos. He just shook his head in amusement. “Yeah, well, I’ve seen pictures of you Waynes and let’s just say that if any of them made a pass I’d give them the green light, chaos be damned.”

Tim made a sound of disgust as Bernard cackled. “I knew I liked you for a reason, Danny.”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Tim shook his head. “Though if you stick around long enough one of them is bound to bite. Or Bruce will take one look at you and try to adopt you, so I hope you’re not too attached to your parents.”

Danny dimmed a bit at the mention of his parents but managed a laugh. “Well he’s welcome to try, I’m sure they wouldn’t put up much of a fuss but he might have to fight my sister, and my money is on her.” Not to mention the fact that Vlad would have a total conniption if another billionaire got their hooks in him — but, on second thought, maybe Jazz's wrath would be worth it to see the fruit loop's expression when he showed up at the next gala that Vlad was always trying to trick him into attending as a Wayne... But no. He wouldn't want to risk Vlad doing something drastic like overshadowing poor Bruce Wayne just because Danny wanted to be an annoying little shit. Damn.

Bernard slung an arm over his shoulder and Tim gave him a calculating look which Danny ignored in favor of taking a sip of his neglected coffee, desperate for a change of subject. “Thanks for this, by the way,” he wiggled the cup. “What do I owe you?”

Bernard waved him off, “Don’t worry about it. Perks of dating a Wayne, they tend to get things for free around here.”

Tim shrugged and Danny wasn’t going to argue about free coffee so he let it drop.

Conversation flowed to lighter topics and soon enough Danny and Bernard had to leave for their Physics lecture. Tim pressed a kiss to Bernard’s cheek and waved goodbye to them both. Danny waved back and waited until he was out of sight before spinning around on Bernard.

“Dude! Timothy Drake-Wayne‽”

Bernard laughed, eyes twinkling, “Please, I knew him long before he got the Wayne name and he’s still as much of a nerd. Now he’s just a rich nerd with a better family.”

Danny blinked at that and huffed out an incredulous laugh, “Okay yeah, I get that. Sam is totally loaded too and she’s like the most unhinged person I know. But still, there’s rich and then there’s Wayne rich.”

Bernard shrugged, “Yeah but in the end it’s the person who matters, and Tim? He’s my best friend. He’s always been my best friend even when we didn’t talk for years and he’ll probably, hopefully, be my best friend forever. And he’s the reason I met Conner, too, and now I have both of them,” he got that stupidly sappy look in his eyes and Danny shoved him playfully.

“Yeah you guys are solid, I can tell. I’m glad I met you, Bernard,” Danny grinned.

Bernard rolled his eyes, “You can call me Berny or Benny or something if you want. Bernard is such a mouthful.”

“Yeah, okay Benny Boo Boo, Boo Boo Bear,” Danny teased, eyes alight with mischief.

“Did you just How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days me, Nightingale?” Benny laughed in shock and Danny cackled. “No way that’s sticking! I take it back, your nickname privilege is revoked, Danny! Danny!” Danny jogged further away, still laughing. “Call me Bernard, I beg! Daniel!”

Yeah, Danny liked his new friends a lot.

—

Saturday morning had Danny prepping for a quick trip to the Realms to check in on things when his phone rang with an incoming video call.

“Hello?” He answered absently around the pen cap he had in between his teeth.

“Danny, you’ve completely fried Tucker’s brain with your Timothy Drake stunt,” Sam glowered back at him and Danny laughed.

“Good to see you too Sam, I hope your first week back to classes have been going well, how’s Val?” Danny teased.

“Classes are as awful as ever and Val is ready to smother Tucker in his sleep if he doesn’t stop gushing over how Timothy Drake-Wayne said hello to him via you, you jerk. Now he’s looking for flights and trying to convince us that he can somehow miraculously miss a week of classes to go on a stalker fanboy trip and it’s all your fault!”

Danny cackled, “Oh that’s even better than I thought! Has he really looked for flights?”

Sam glared, “Yes. We had to hide his credit card. You better tell him not to be an idiot and fly across the country just to try and catch a glimpse of your little friend.”

Danny held his hands up in surrender, “Okay okay, I’ll give him a call and tell him how irresponsible he’d be to ditch his favorite place and people in the world for week to hang out with his literal icon and boy crush that I can most definitely get him in contact with.”

“You’re loving this, aren’t you?” Sam whined.

Danny grinned, “Yep,” popping the P. “But seriously, I’ll tell him to wait until fall break at least. No promises past that.”

“That works for us. We were already talking about hopefully making a trip back home for Thanksgiving so we can probably stop by Gotham without too much hassle.”

“Please do, I miss you guys,” Danny frowned. Sam smiled softly.

“Yeah we miss you too, loser. Whaddya got planned for today?”

Danny sighed, “A trip to the GZ, I gotta make sure everything’s still running and I’ve got a couple scheduled brawls to handle. It’ll be good, I’m getting antsy without the constant barrage of duels. I’m understanding why they visited me in Amity so frequently now.”

Sam laughed, “Ghosts are so weird. Have fun duking it out. Call tomorrow?”

Danny nodded, “Yep, Tucker made sure to put it on my schedule and I still get an annoying amount of reminders for it throughout the week.”

“Good, I’ll see you tomorrow then, stay out of trouble.” He managed to not laugh at the familiar words. Stay safe, Trouble. He so did not need to be thinking of Red Hood right now. The whole vigilante situation was a conversation to bring up when they were all together during their scheduled group call.

“Yeah, yeah, you too. Good luck with Tucker’s obsession and try to remember that you love him and would be devastated if Val actually killed him!”

Sam flipped him off before hanging up and Danny laughed.

He checked over his notes to make sure he wasn’t missing anything important that he had to prepare for and made sure his curtains were closed before transforming and ripping open a portal.

It’d gotten easier and easier over the years with practice and now that he was officially Prince Regent it was almost second nature. He slipped through and flew around leisurely, checking on things as he went until he finally made it to the council hall where the representatives were meeting.

It was a quick session, more to just keep him in the loop of things and keep in touch with his council friends, updating them on his mortal living and showing that he still took his responsibility as Prince Regent and Future King seriously. He wanted to do right by the Realms and he was insistent on proving himself worthy. It helped that he enjoyed spending time among the ghosts, not having to worry about hiding any part of himself and able to show off all of his abilities freely as needed. No carefully pulled punches necessary.

He parted ways with the council after the meeting had long dissolved into more gossip and light conversation than actual business and found Ember already waiting outside the building, leaning against a tree and idly strumming her guitar.

“Hey, Ember, how’s it been?”

Ember smiled at him and nodded, “Not too bad. A bit boring with the main Amity portal gone and our favorite punching bag in a city he banned us from, but we make do.”

Danny winced a little at her words. He knew the decisions to disable the portal and cut them off from Gotham sounded harsh, but he had talked it through with the Council and had all come to the agreement that it would be best. He didn’t want his parents or some other ghost hunting fanatics to go too crazy while he was gone and end up destroying the city or Ancients forbid actually capturing one of his ghosts, and he had no idea how Gotham would handle seeing his ghosts or what the Bat Clan might try and do to them. Until things had settled and he was sure it was safe, it was best to keep things contained to the Realms as much as possible.

“Well, I can help make things a bit more interesting now,” he smirked and she got the hint and swung her guitar at his head. He cackled, ducked, and the brawl began.

The best thing about fighting in the Infinite Realms was that he didn’t have to worry about any collateral damage or civilians getting hurt. He didn’t have to carefully direct the fight to more secluded areas or yell at stupid passerby’s to stop gawking and run. It was so much more fun on equal turf. He should have been doing this for years, really.

After a decent while of back and forth Ember finally called it quits, effectively worn out and seemingly pleased with the sparring. Danny felt better having been able to get some pent up energy out on a being that wouldn’t be completely disfigured by him punching with his full strength and shook out his arms in satisfaction.

“Don’t be a stranger, Phantom! Track me down next time you’re here,” Ember flicked him on the ear and left with him grumbling about normal ways to show affection.

He did track down a few other ghosts, checking in and getting the latest scoop (Elastica and Kitty) or having miniature brawls (Boxy and Johnny) to help relieve the buzzing burn of energy.

He left feeling satisfied and spent, muscles aching in the good, I-just-worked-out kinda way and core humming pleasantly in his chest.

—

Danny could tell someone was following him.

He had gotten pretty good at sensing prying eyes and his hackles were effectively raised, internal warning bells going haywire as he made the walk home from campus.

His last lecture had gotten out later than usual which meant Danny was walking in the dark, the sun setting earlier and earlier already and the dim, gloomy atmosphere of Gotham only enhancing the shadows even as the sun was still setting.

Danny made sure to look all around him, trying to figure out where the eyes were coming from. He debated skipping his normal alleyway shortcuts, seeing as how the last three days he’d had to step in to stop various muggings and drug deals, but he really just wanted to get home.

He toyed with the idea of a ghost being the one who was tracking him, but he knew he would have sensed it if it was. Which left a human or meta, and Danny didn’t like the thought of either.

Maybe it’s just a cute, stray alley cat. He tried to think positively but knew he wasn’t fooling anyone, especially not himself, a known liar.

He sighed and walked through the first alley without any incidents but still felt the eyes pinning him down. His hands were clenched in his hoodie pocket and his feet threatened to leave the ground to just fly him away faster than he could run, but he tamped down the urge. The last thing he needed was attention on him like that.

After making it through the third alley without a confrontation he debated not leading whoever was following him to his apartment, but figured it would be as good a place to kick someone’s ass as any and with a lesser chance of being seen using his powers if needed.

He skipped the elevator and trudged up the three flights of stairs and by the time he got to his apartment door, he knew someone was already inside. He debated turning intangible to see who exactly was waiting, but he didn’t know if they had cameras around and didn’t want to risk it. He took a steadying breath and unlocked his door quickly, flipping on the lights as soon as he got the door open and quickly shutting and locking it behind him.

He blinked at the guy standing in his living room, and then blinked again. “Red Robin?” He asked in shock. Of all the people he expected, one of Batman’s Squad of Vigilantes wasn’t one of them. Which, he really shouldn’t have been that surprised considering his encounter with Red Hood.

“Daniel Fenton,” Red Robin said and Danny flinched at the name.

“Nightingale, actually. I got it changed. And I prefer Danny,” He slowly toed off his sneakers and set his bag on the table. It was only then that he saw Red Hood leaning against his kitchen counter. He sighed resentfully.

“Really? I thought you said you wouldn’t tell your buddies about me,” Danny folded his arms and glared at the masked Vigilante who held up his hands.

“Hey, I don’t kiss and tell.” Danny could swear the guy was smirking under his mask and Red Robin spluttered.

“Kiss? Hood, please tell me you did not kiss a civilian,” he sounded exasperated.

Danny was a little miffed himself. “I don’t think we kissed. I think I would have definitely remembered that happening.”

“Oh trust me, you’ll know when I kiss you,” Red Hood said, voice low and deep, and Red Robin pinched the bridge of his nose as Danny's gut did a little flip.

Huh. He'd have to unpack that later.

“Okay, no more talking about kissing. Ignoring the fact that you somehow already know each other, and yes, Hood, we will be having words about that,” he glared and pointed accusingly at the still-pleased-with-himself vigilante, “I’m here to talk about you, Nightingale. Primarily, why you’re linked to over thirteen mysteriously stopped muggings and drug deals, all of which took place on your routes home from school.”

“Wow, okay, stalker much?” Danny scoffed, crossing his arms and internally panicking. He’d been caught. Somehow. Play it cool, play it cool. “What do you mean, ‘mysteriously stopped'?”

Red Robin sighed, pulling out a folder of something and setting it down beside Danny’s bag, gesturing for him to look through. He did so, flipping through images of what had to be some sort of surveillance videos of what were indeed, very familiar muggers and victims. Danny looked up at Red Robin with an eyebrow raised.

“Aaand,” he drew the word out, “am I supposed to be seeing something here besides some vaguely disturbing crime scene photos? None of these guys are dead, are they? That’d be a kinda fucked up thing to show me, dude.” Not that he was any stranger to death, and he knew for a fact that none of them were dead, but if he was actually a civilian? Yeah, that’d be fucked up.

Red Robin scoffed, “No, none of them are dead. And that’s exactly the point. All of these guys were caught in the act of mugging someone but the person or thing that stopped them never shows up on the cameras. That shouldn’t be possible.”

Danny shrugged for real that time, “And what do I have to do with this? That sounds like a meta with invisibility or something to me and last I checked, I’m definitely not a meta.”

Red Robin pulled out another folder, and Danny was hesitant to flip it open, but forced himself to anyways. He saw pictures of himself walking on the street or down the familiar alleyways. “Holy shit,” he said bluntly, “You really are a fucking stalker. What the hell are you taking pictures of me for?”

Red Robin tapped the top picture of him walking on the street, clearly coming back from school. “Surveillance caught you walking towards the alleyways right around the time of each incident,” Red Robin explained, “You’re seen going in, but never seen coming out on either side, and the muggings all somehow get stopped at the same time.”

Danny’s heart sped up a little bit. Fuck.

“You can see how that looks a little bit suspicious?”

Danny rolled his eyes.

“You don’t think I’ve ever seen something shady happening and gotten the fuck out of dodge? It happens way more often than you think and I try the alleys everyday because it’s so much faster, but sometimes I have to take the long way around instead and leave the crime fighting to creepy assholes like yourself,” Red Hood snorted at that and Red Robin sent him a glare, “If you’re saying that none of you or your little swarm of Bats stopped these guys, maybe you should take that as a sign that you’re not doing your jobs very well and when you find whoever did stop them maybe consider a nice thank you card or a gift basket instead of invading their home and privacy.”

Red Robin sighed in frustration and ignored everything but the first part of Danny’s speech, “See, we’ve checked literally every single angle. We know you couldn’t have left any other way without us seeing you, even with the blind spots! There’s no way for you to not be somehow involved.”

Well, time to do some better bullshitting, then. The mention of blind spots eased some of his worries. It seemed that at least they fortunately hadn’t seen him actively transform, and if Red Hood really hadn’t mentioned what he had seen… Danny sighed and scrubbed a hand down his face as he decided which route he wanted to take with this. Maybe he could clear himself of both instances if he played this right. “You clearly did enough research to figure out my given last name. Did you happen to check out my parents at all?”

Red Robin seemed taken aback by the question. “Drs. Jack and Madeline Fenton. Most of their work and research has been either heavily redacted or taken down completely, but from my understanding they’ve been rather dedicated to the research of the paranormal, correct?” His tone suggested exactly what the thought of that line of research.

Danny shrugged and laughed derisively, “Yeah that’s one way of putting it. I’d just call them rabid ghost hunters and be done with the fancy talk, though.”

Red Robin cocked his head, “Ghost hunters?” He asked, skepticism clear in his voice.

“Yep,” Danny said, popping the P. “Completely obsessed with it since college. Spend their entire lives dedicated to proving the existence of ghosts and planning out experiments they’d do if they ever successfully caught one.” Danny had to take a deep breath and blink away the memories of exactly the type of experiments they had done when they caught him. “I practically grew up in the lab they set up in our basement, surrounded by ghost finders, ghost gloves, ghost vacuums, you name it.”

“Okay,” Red Robin drew out, clearly trying to figure out why Danny was telling them this.

“How much research did you do on Amity Park itself?”

Red Robin shrugged, “Not much, I’ll admit, but nothing of substance stood out to merit further digging.”

Danny scoffed, “You should try again. I think you’ll find it very enlightening if you’re as good as they say. I know they tried their best to bury all the shit with the Guys In White, but they can’t have gotten everything. Try there first.”

“Guys In White?” Red Hood finally chimed in, curious.

Danny shrugged. “Some half-baked government agency. Tried enforcing martial law in Amity for a while, didn’t really stick,” he smirked at the memory, “I think their official agency name was Ghost Investigation Ward or some bullshit, but they dressed in all white and high schoolers are so very creative. I’ll let you figure the rest out, Detective.”

Red Robin was typing furiously on his wrist cuff and Danny assumed it was a list of things to research. “Now, are you guys done with the entering part of the breaking and entering or do you want to steal my leftovers as well, in for a penny and all that?”

“Well, if you’re offering to have me over for dinner,” Red Hood crooned but Red Robin interrupted, rudely. Danny shared a look with Red Hood as his partner paced around Danny’s small living room. Danny noticed the uncomfortable swirling was back in his gut and frowned, trying to pin point when it had started and why.

“Wait, wait, wait! Are you insinuating what I think you are?” Red Robin asked, voice higher than it was a minute ago. Danny turned his attention back to him and shrugged.

“Depends on what you think that is; you know what they say about assuming. But if it’s about getting the fuck out of my apartment, yes, I thought I made that clear enough.”

Red Robin stopped pacing and stared wide-eyed at Danny. “Ghosts. You’re insinuating that there are actual ghosts and that one might be what, lurking around the area, stopping muggings conveniently at the same time you’re walking home from school?”

“I think the correct term is haunt, not lurk,” Danny helpfully corrected.

Red Robin stared at him for a long moment before blinking, “Holy shit you’re serious.”

“Deadly,” Danny joked to himself. Red Hood snorted. Score.

“But! That can’t be it. Ghosts aren’t—“

“What? They aren’t real? The good old JL doesn’t have any files or databases on the subject?” Danny’s voice dripped with venom. He had his opinions on the Justice League and none of them were very flattering.

“They do, but they’re so sparse and the sources are so old they’re hardly credible,” Red Robin resumed pacing, seeming more and more frantic.

“Yeah okay, that sucks for you. Maybe do some more research and get those files updated. Have fun with that.” Danny was done being subtle. He glanced at Red Hood who seemed to catch his vibe.

“Red, time to go.”

Red Robin stopped and stared at them incredulously, “Seriously? Nightingale, I know you have more information. Why not just share it so we can figure out who this person or ghost or whatever is?”

Danny shrugged, “Maybe I don’t kiss and tell either. Maybe this ‘person-ghost-thing’,” he quoted Red’s earlier word when talking about whatever was stopping the muggings, “doesn’t want to be found. I’ve given you plenty to chew on so go have fun and don’t bother me for a while. Maybe learn to knock or call like civilized people while you’re at it.”

“Yep, we’re going. Red, grab your files or lose them,” Red Robin grumbled but reluctantly swiped the photos back into the files and followed Hood to the window they clearly came in through.

Hood made sure Red got all the way out before turning to Danny and giving a two finger salute, “Always a pleasure, Trouble.”

Danny shook his head with a rueful grin, “Likewise, Hood,” and then took a chance, “Does the League keep logs of distress calls?”

Hood’s head cocked to the side but after a moment’s hesitation he nodded, “Yeah. Extensively.”

Danny nodded and then requested, “Look into any calls sent from Amity starting about six years ago. See why no one came to help.”

Hood sucked in a little breath, seemingly surprised, and nodded again. “Will do. I’ll let you know what I find?”

Danny was a bit surprised by the offer, it was more of a concession than he expected from the vigilante with how secure and classified he was sure the League kept their records. His stomach lurched and he swallowed thickly. “Thanks,” and as the vigilante turned to leave he surprised both of them by saying, “Hood?”

The vigilante stopped and turned to him once again. Danny would guess his eyebrow would be raised if he could see it. “The offer for dinner stands if you want it, anytime.”

He didn’t know where the words came from but found himself not regretting them. There was something about the guy that drew Danny in. The swirling intensified.

Danny could have sworn Hood was smiling under his mask when he said, “I’ll make sure to knock, all civilized like.”

Danny laughed as the window shut behind them and he was finally left alone in his apartment.

“Finally! I thought they were going to be here foreverrr,” well, almost alone.

“Hey squirt,” Danny grinned down at the teenager currently hugging him. “How you doing, Ellie? And what took you so long? I told you I was moving weeks ago and you promised to stop by sooner! I had to ask around the GZ to see when the last time anyone saw you semi-alive and well or if I had to track you down in some lab or something.” The words were light, but they both knew they held more serious meaning. After all, ending up in a lab was a genuine concern and possibility for them.

Ellie pulled back and grinned sheepishly, “I know, sorry! I got distracted in Japan and then I lost track of time in the Zone, you know how it is.”

Danny sighed and pulled her back in for a short hug, “Yeah, I know.” Time was a little wonky in the Realms. You had to be careful not to spend too much time or before you know it a week could pass by in the mortal plane. “I’m glad you’re here now, though your timing kind of sucked. How much of all that did you see?”

Ellie snorted, “Oh, all of it. I was here before they decided to break in but I knew you were coming up so I wanted to see what you’d do first when they didn’t start stealing or tearing the place apart. I’m surprised you didn’t sense me.”

Danny shrugged, “I did eventually but I was a bit distracted with them stalking me and all that I didn’t notice at first. I’m not nearly as sensitive to you as I am others unless I’m focusing.”

“Yeah, yeah, shared DNA, yada yada,” she flopped down on his couch and he went to his fridge to pull out a couple containers of leftovers. He was starving. And tired. He paused when he saw a large container with a note on it.

You dropped yours. Forgive me for being rude? — RH

It was from the diner he’d been at before his mugging and first Red Hood encounter. He was oddly touched and chose to ignore the fact that the vigilante had either been observant enough to note the diner’s name on the spilled container or had gone back to check. He was too hungry to care. He pulled another container out for Ellie and grabbed some forks.

He gave the food to Ellie who took it gratefully, not even asking what it was before shoveling it into her mouth. He sat down next to her and she asked him questions while she chewed. He loved the disgusting little gremlin, he reminded himself. A lot. “Soooo,” she drew out, “who were those guys and what was all that about?”

Danny sighed and explained everything that had been going on. She nodded along and by the end she was laughing. “You’re trying to get them to believe that you have a ghost helping you out?”

Danny nodded, “Or that I’m helping Phantom out. Maybe I let him tag along to Gotham to get away from Amity’s ghost hunters,” he shrugged. “I’ll decide depending on what conclusions Red Robin scrounges up I guess.”

“And this Red Hood guy?” She wagged her eyebrows and Danny shoved her over.

“It’s not like that!”

“You invited him for dinner!” She cried, laughter clear in her voice. “And he was obviously flirting with you like every time he spoke! He liiiikes you,” she sang and jumped away as Danny tried to poke her in the side.

“Hey! No he doesn’t! I’m sure he’s like that with everyone!” He tried to defend himself. She stared at him like he was stupid. “What?” He asked defensively.

“You’re joking. Red Hood? The Red Hood? He’s definitely not like that with everybody. I think he’s more prone to murder and shooting first asking questions later, not flirty banter and inviting himself to dinners.”

“Oh yeah?” Danny asked, “And how do you know so much about him? Isn’t this your first time in Gotham?”

Ellie shrugged, “Word spreads around and the internet is very useful.”

Danny had to give that to her. “Fine, but still. I don’t see how he’s serious. Like you said, he’s The Red Hood. Capital ‘The’ and everything.”

“So? You’re The Phantom. Badasses are drawn to each other I guess,” Ellie shrugged all casual like as if the words didn’t make Danny want to cry. His little sister thought he was a badass.

“So how long are you staying?” He deflected, even if it was the answer he was dreading most. Ellie hadn’t stayed anywhere for very long since she escaped from Vlad. Danny and Jazz refused to try and force her to stick around anywhere, letting her have her freedom, but it was hard to let her go sometimes. Okay, every time.

Ellie darted her eyes around and bit her lip. Nervous. Danny braced himself for her to drop the bomb that she was leaving right then, not even staying the night. It wouldn’t be the first time but they always crushed him the most.

“Uh, I was actually hoping to maybe stay with you long-term?” Her voice was small and hopeful and Danny melted.

“Of course, pipsqueak,” he tried not to sound too eager. “You can stay as long as you want.”

She relaxed a little bit but kept fidgeting, “Okay but I’ve been thinking,” she hedged and Danny patted the seat next to him for her to sit down. She did, “I’ve been thinking about school.” She said it in a rush and Danny blinked.

“Okay,” he said easily. It’s not as if he and Jazz hadn’t considered it a possibility before but they hadn’t wanted to try and force her into it.

“Okay?” She asked, eyes large and waiting.

“Okay,” Danny repeated with a smile, “We have all of your documents and we can make either Jazz or I your legal guardian at any time, we were just waiting to see if we’d need to do it. I can get everything ready and we can find somewhere to enroll you in whenever you want.”

She flung her arms around him and buried her face in his shoulder, “Thank you.”

He held onto her back just as tightly. “Of course, Ellie. Whatever you need.” He looked around his tiny studio apartment and cringed a little bit. “We might need to go apartment hunting again though, I don’t want you sleeping on the couch forever.”

Ellie shrugged, still not letting go. “I don’t mind,” she said and Danny laughed.

“Sure, but I do. If we’re doing this I want to do it right and give you the best you deserve.”

She pulled back slightly and opted for leaning against him, drawing his arm around her shoulder. He tucked her against his side. “Okay. But you really don’t need to move just for me.”

“Yeah, yeah, let me and Jazz worry about that. We’ll make it all work. I’m just happy to have you around, it was getting kinda lonely here without any other ghosts.”

She smiled and nestled closer, “Yeah, it gets kinda lonely without you or Jazz.”

Danny closed his eyes and willed away the building tears. He wondered how long she’d been feeling like that, but decided not to dwell on it. She was here now, and that’s all that mattered.

Tim frowned, pressed against the bricks outside the window as he waited for Hood, ready to hash out what they had just learned. Danny’s question about the logs made him curious and then his heart had dropped at the insinuation that something bad enough had happened in Amity to warrant the Justice League’s help. Even more concerning that the plea for help had seemingly gone unanswered.

“See why no one came to help.“

He itched to search the logs that very moment, but he focused back on Danny as he stopped Hood again, only this time his words had Tim nearly scoffing in surprise, settling instead on rolling his eyes and wanting to gag. He had been worried about Danny’s involvement in the muggings and possibly being a meta before, but now he was worried for the guy’s sanity. Honestly, inviting Red Hood to dinner, ‘anytime.’

Tim made a mental note to somehow work a discussion about basic safety and stranger danger and maybe not inviting crime lords into your house during their next cafe session.

Tim was absolutely hounding Jason for his apparent already established history with Danny if they were comfortable enough to flirt in front of his face and make plans for a date. (Really, why’d it have to be Jason of all possible vigilantes? What had Tim done to deserve this? Bernard and Con were going to be absolutely insufferable about this. Bart, Jaime, and Cassie were never allowed to know.)

He leveled Hood with a piercing glare as the infuriating vigilante finally swung out of the window, closing it aptly behind him. Before Tim could say anything (primarily: ‘What the fuck?’), Jason had tossed him a mocking salute and grappled away. Tim sighed in frustration and pursued, recognizing immediately that they were not headed to the Cave.

Fine by him, he’d be getting his answers one way or another and if Jason tried to stop him he’d have to face the disappointment of losing because Tim was not in the mood to beat around the bush and play their regular game of cat and mouse (and if Jason ever found out that he viewed him as the mouse Tim would probably be shot somewhere sensitive).

He followed Jason through the city and was a little surprised that they were headed to what Tim knew as his main apartment and not one of his many safe houses that he normally preferred to have any vigilante business talks (not that they had very many anyway, with how much of a point Jason made of not wanting to work with them).

He steeled himself for an aggravating conversation and a sleepless few nights ahead of him and swung through the window that Hood had even had the decency to leave open behind him.

𓆩⟡𓆪

Jason had no intention of following Tim to the Cave but he made no attempt to stop Tim from following him back to his apartment. He knew the conversation was inevitable so may as well bite the bullet and get it over with now and not have to deal with passive aggressive or heaven fucking forbid whiny Tim. Jason shuddered at the thought. No, much better to get it over with then, while it was still fresh.

He crawled through his own window, not wanting to walk through the halls in his suit (not that anyone would be surprised in this particular residence, but still, principles and all that). He almost entertained the idea of slamming the window shut and making Tim work to get himself in but figured the bastard might be in the mood to just break the window to speed things up. Tim was truly no fun like this.

“What the fuck‽” Tim immediately rounded on Jason when the window was firmly closed and the curtains drawn. “You didn’t think to tell me you knew my suspect? Is that why you came along?” It was exactly why Jason went with Tim when he heard about the investigation he and Oracle were doing. It wasn’t his fault Tim didn’t ask better questions before letting him tag along.

Jason shrugged, “Oh, I definitely thought to tell you. But then I thought ‘eh, better not’. Much more fun that way.”

“How do you know him?” Suspicious bastard. “And why didn’t he want you to tell your ‘buddies’ about him?” Jason matched Tim’s disdain for the descriptor, wrinkling his nose before sighing and discarding his helmet and settling in at the island bar.

“I saw him getting mugged,” Jason shrugged. Tim narrowed his eyes.

“And?” He prompted when Jason made no attempt to continue.

“And he took the fucker three times his size down with one well placed hit so I accused him of being a meta, which he didn’t take very well,” he omitted the part about the intangibility or phasing or whatever he'd seen, or thought he'd seen, and he wasn't entirely sure why. Maybe he wanted to protect Danny from the full Bat Battalion if the guy did end up having some extra skill sets that B would see as a potential threat. (Maybe Danny's accusations from their first meeting still stung and he wasn't eager to piss off the possible meta anymore than he already had by spreading the information and therefore breaching his privacy even more.) If Tim was as good of a detective as they all claimed, he'd find out soon enough anyway. No need for Jason to be a snitch about it. He wasn't a fucking cop, after all.

Tim’s eyes widened a bit, clearly surprised at that piece of information but Jason continued before he could interrupt with more useless questions. “Look, I barely had a conversation with the guy,” which, was true. “I recognized him when Babs had his info pulled up and wanted to know what it was all about. Now, what do you have on him?”

Tim looked like he wanted to keep fighting but he deflated and leaned against the wall, “Just— don’t play around with him, Jay.”

Oh, Little Timmy was serious about this. Jason narrowed his eyes. “Why?” Not that he was planning on ‘playing’ with Danny, but he wanted to know why Tim of all people was invested. After all, Danny was his suspect.

Tim sighed dejectedly, as if he was suddenly bone tired. “He’s friends with Berny. They met at orientation and they share some classes. I talked with him for like two hours the other day and he’s —“ Tim ran a hand through his hair, “fuck, he’s nice. He’s funny, he talks about his friends like they’re his whole world and is smart enough to have the best full ride we offer and is taking advanced classes as a freshman. I just — I’m really hoping he’s not actually tied up in something messy that B is gonna have to get involved with and possibly ruin an actual, normal, friendship for Berny. I just don’t know.”

The admission caught Jason a bit off guard. For Tim to admit that he 'didn't know' something was rare and a clear indication that this situation was more serious than Jason had originally anticipated. Mixing personal life and business — how fun. But Jason stared at his replacement brother in a bit of concern. Tim was really, really invested in this kid. And Jason found himself right there with him. Something about Danny just drew him in and kept him there, and with all the new information he was only more intrigued. He sighed and scrubbed a hand down his face.

“Replacement,” Tim scowled at the name but they both knew it didn’t hold the same weight it used to. They had come a long way since Jason had first come back and while there was still the shadow of tension looming over them nearly all the time, they were steadily making progress. That didn’t mean Jason wanted to stop being an asshole (just maybe not a murderous asshole). “I’m not going to fuck around with him. I’ll help ya out, figure out what’s going on with him and try to keep him out of trouble and off of B’s radar for as long as possible.”

Tim looked at him with a bit of hope and bit like he expected Jason to jump out and say ‘Psych! Gotcha!’. It shouldn’t bother Jason as much as it did. “Really?” Tim asked and then immediately seemed to regret it. But Jason just nodded, dead serious (ha).

“Really.”

Tim finally let himself show a ghost of a smile. (Ha. Ghost. Imagine that, ghosts being real all this time. Right under their noses. The Justice League would pitch a fit if it ended up being true, Jason could imagine it now.)

“Okay, then,” he pulled out his files once again and set them in front of Jason to peruse. “I ran a basic background check on him before I knew he was tied up in the muggings case, y’know, since he was hanging out with Bernard so much.”

Jason nodded. They were all paranoid as shit, thanks to both their very public lives and their side work and all knew to run background checks on anyone they’d be spending any amount of time with.

“I clearly need to do more digging and find out more about these ‘Guys in White’ but nothing substantial came up on my first search to raise any red flags besides the name change and his parents' strange research,” Tim sounded troubled and Jason agreed. From the concerns that Danny had brought up with the call logs and his hints at researching the town more, there was clearly something Tim had missed, which raised alarm bells in itself. Tim rarely missed something, especially something as big as Danny insinuated, which either meant things were purposefully buried (concerning) or Tim had been blinded by his personal connection to Danny (unlikely). “Which I clearly need to find the complete versions of. I want to know what exactly has been redacted and why.”

Jason nodded, flipping through the printed research that was indeed heavily blacked out. It all sounded like cooky bullshit to him, but he found himself believing Danny when he said that there was truth behind it and he knew Tim would find out exactly what was hiding in the reports.

“Start with the call logs?” It had been disturbing Jason since Danny had asked about it and he knew Tim had heard the whole thing from outside the window. They shared a serious look about it now.

'See why no one came to help.’ What the fuck happened in Amity?

“Yeah, I’m starting there and looking deeper into Amity as a whole while I’m at it now that I know not to disregard any mention of ghosts as like, a tourist ploy or nut jobs,” Tim confirmed and Jason nodded.

“Keep me updated?”

“Yeah, and if you decide to do any digging yourself we can compare notes.”

“Sure thing, Timberina,” Jason said with a smirk, reveling in the way Tim rolled his eyes.

“Still fucking terrible, you know,” he grouched.

Jason gave him a shit-eating grin, “Oh, I know. Now get the fuck out of here, don’t you have investigating to do or boyfriends to smooch?”

Tim flipped him off before making a swift exit, even closing the window behind him. Maybe there was hope for them yet.

‘The offer for dinner stands if you want it, anytime.’

And there was what he really wanted to think about. Because. Holy fuck. Danny had invited him to have dinner with him. Anytime. He hadn’t even seen his apology leftover note and had already been willing to give Red Hood another chance.

Jesus Christ, what was he, a thirteen year old girl? His heart did not need to be skipping a beat at the thought, thank you very fucking much.

He didn’t even know he could trust the guy yet. Especially with all the information Tim had supplied — Jason had a sneaking suspicion Danny was way more involved in everything then he had let on despite his insistence and deflections. Now with the whole added ghost aspect…

Jason wasn’t the type to trust or take people at their word alone. He was the type to shoot first and contingency plan around possible lies and deception. And yet… Danny was somehow slipping past all of Jason’s defenses and he somehow found himself wanting to trust the man despite it all.

Danny was a mystery wrapped up in an enigma and Jason couldn’t wait to figure him out. He just hoped no one would get burned in the process.

A Pretty Stubborn Something

Part 1 / Part 3 / Bonus / Part 4

Steve Harrington x Wife!Reader

Word count: 2.4k

Summary: Steve and the reader are on a hiking trail and things get steamy.

Warnings: 18+ MINORS DO NOT INTERACT. Public sex. P in V sex. Oral sex (f receiving).

Inching toward the edge of a cliff, you're intent on seeing the bottom of the gorge for yourself; you'd heard from some locals you and Steve had encountered in an RV park last night that it was a sight to behold, a hike with a beautiful destination, perfect for beginners. Your heart pounds in your chest, the fear of tipping over the edge and falling to your death pumping through your veins, but if you're careful enough, you think, you should be okay.

In your peripherals you notice motion and you look to your left. Steve is lowering himself to the ground on his hands and knees, approaching the edge before settling himself onto his belly. Your backpacks lay off to the side, waiting for you to pick them back up again.

"What are you doing?" you ask with a giggle.

He looks up at you, his expression as serious as ever. "I'm making sure I don't fall over like an idiot. And as your husband, I suggest you do the same. I'd like to keep you for as long as possible, if that's alright."

"Low and flat, less likely to topple," you reply, smiling fit to burst. "Thank you for the tip, Mr. Harrington."

He watches you, his expression softening as you copy his method. The two of you are now face down in the grass, grinning like children as you army crawl to the edge.

"Let's check out this view, Mrs. Harrington," he says.

"Absolutely," you answer, and the pair of you scoot forward until your heads poke over the side.

"Oh, wow," Steve says, the awe in his voice making him quiet.

Wow is right, you think, taking in the small river at the bottom; it's almost crystal clear, the rocks at the bottom very visible from this point of view, and dotted on either bank with groups of shady trees, their leaves greener than you'd ever seen. You figure the smaller shapes moving in the water are fish, swimming with the current under the sparkles that reflect off the surface from the sun.

"Oh, look!" Steve says, pointing over the edge; you follow his prompt to a doe and her fawns on the opposite bank, the small family of deer leaning into the water for a drink.

"Oh, this is cool," you murmur, trying to keep quiet to avoid scaring the deer off.

"If we ever see that couple again," Steve says quietly, reaching for your hand, "we gotta thank them for this. This is gorgeous."

With your other hand, you reach for your camera, pulling it from your pocket and pointing it at the deer. A few clicks later, you've got some pictures of the family, a nice keepsake for your photo album.

"Let me see that," Steve says, beckoning for the camera.

You hand it over, thinking he's going to have a different view point of the gorge, but all he does is point it at you.

"Smile, beautiful," he says, smiling himself.

"Steve," you playfully reprimand. "That one is for the sights."

"And what better sight is there than my beautiful wife in this beautiful place?"

As soon as you laugh, he takes a picture. He rolls away to get a more complete view of you and you play along; you lift your head and feet in a coy pose, pointing your toes and smiling wide for Steve.

"Oh, yes," he praises, getting to his knees for a higher view point. "Yes, baby. Yes! Work the camera, work the camera!"

You can't help but laugh as you roll onto your side, your head resting on one hand and the other on your hip. Steve gets to his feet, standing above you as you roll onto your back, stretching and posing to show off your curves.

"Yes, baby," he says. "You're a natural. Have you ever considered modeling as a career?"

He clicks the camera until he can't anymore, the tell-tale whirring of the film inside indicating the end of the roll.

"Oh, damn," he says. "You got another roll on you?"

"Yes," you answer, propping yourself up on your elbows as he drops to his knees again, sitting back on his feet. "But it's for the sights. You can't be wasting it all on me, you know."

"Is it really a waste, though?" he asks, setting the camera down a safe distance away. "Because, honestly, I'd just like to take pictures of you all the time. You're gorgeous."

"But what if I want to take pictures of you?" you ask; you meet his sparkling eyes, filled with joy and, if you're not mistaken, just a touch of lust.

"We'll have plenty of time for that," he answers. "But hold still. You got something right here."

He leans down, brushing your hip off and accidentally pushing your shirt up.

"Dammit," he says, now brushing at your bare skin. "It's just not coming off. Looks like I'm just gonna have to..."

He lowers himself onto his hands above you, eyes fixed on yours before his lips touch your hip. You smirk at him, watching as he slowly presses kiss after kiss just above the waistband of your shorts. With every brush of his lips, your skin tingles, the sensation finding its way through your nerves and deep into your core.

"That's a pretty stubborn something, isn't it?" you ask with a giggle.

"Definitely," he murmurs against your skin. "It looks like I might be down here for a while. You might as well get comfortable."

You grin as he bites at the button of your shorts, popping it open before his lips meet the exposed skin underneath. His fingers take over then, pulling the zipper down and holding your shorts open. He kisses over your skin, over your panties before he simply tugs them down your legs, pausing to pull off your sneakers before you lay half bare before him.

"God, you're fucking beautiful," he says, his hands starting at your knees and smoothing up the soft skin of your inner thighs, pushing your legs apart.

He props himself up on his hands over you, lowering himself until his lips meet where you leg joins your hip. His mouth traces the crook, not stopping until he nibbles at one of your lips; his tongue glides over it, his lips gently sucking it in before doing the same for the other.

"Steeeeeve," you whine, watching his eyes glitter with mischief. "You're such a tease."

"You wouldn't have me any," he plants a kiss to your mound, "other," he plants another just above your womb, "way."

With that, he dips back down, pulling the tip of his tongue through your slick lips, flicking at your clit as you moan.

"Fuck!" you say, fingers diving into his hair at once.

Steve takes his time, tracing every last nerve of your clit, tasting every twitch and every buck as your hips chase his mouth. He pulls your clit between his lips, sucking on it before letting his teeth graze it. With every moan and whimper that dances from your lips, his enthusiasm doubles, his eagerness to swallow your climax the same as it's always been. His hands press your thighs up and open, allowing him to feast between them without interruption.

"Oh, fuck," you whimper as he slips two fingers into you, gently gliding them in and out, listening to the squelch of your arousal before he hooks them into your g-spot. "Ah, Steve!"

All the while, the high builds in your core, making you squirm under your husband. You press your hips against his face, seeking your climax quicker than he can give it to you, just as his arm comes to rest over your pelvis. Steve holds you down, continuing his quest for your pleasure. He moans into your cunt as your fingers grip his hair, lost in your taste, in your scent.

"Oh my g- " you pant, "Steve, so close... so fucking close..."

He focuses his efforts, keeping a steady pace against your clit and g-spot, sparking a riotous feeling in your belly. He knows exactly how to play you, consistent in his efforts until you burst.

"Fuck!" you cry out as your climax rips through your body, your cunt pulsing around Steve's fingers. "Fuck, Steve! Oh my god!"

He doesn't stop until your body relaxes, slowing down as he slips his fingers out of you. His tongue slows, languidly stroking before he presses kisses against your tender clit. When you've fully relaxed against the grass, he drags those kisses up over your garden of pubic hair and up your tummy. He shoves your t-shirt up to expose your ribs kissing each and every one as he pulls your shirt from you. He tosses the shirt on top of your shorts before he pulls back the bra covering your tits, tugging the straps down to uncover your hardened nipples.

"Baby," he moans, his lips closing over one before his tongue swirls around it.

"God, Steve," you sigh, holding him close. "Come here."

You guide his mouth up to yours, tasting yourself the moment your lips connect. You moan into the kiss, fingers fumbling with the hem of his t-shirt before you pull it over his head. His lips meet yours as soon as possible as he hums into the kiss; your fingers travel down his hairy chest, following the swell of his muscles until you pull the button of his shorts open.

"Hold on," he says, kissing you once, twice, three times before he rises to his knees.

He pulls his backpack forward, unzipping a pocket and diving into it to pull out a condom.

"So very confident, aren't we?" you giggle.

"Is it confidence or is it just an easy prediction?" he asks, the foil packet between his teeth as he tugs his shorts and boxers down. "Remember, we barely made it out of the wedding ceremony and into the limo before you climbed onto my lap and fucked me stupid?"

"You can't say you didn't like it," you laugh, eyes fixed on his thick cock.

"What? Are you asking if I like having the horniest wife in the world?" he teases, placing the condom over the tip of his dick and slowly rolling it down his shaft. "You see, you can't even look me in the eye when my dick's out. It's like the only thing you married me for."

You laugh, a blush burning along your cheeks as he lowers himself to his hands over you; his cock rests against your lower tummy as he presses kisses over your neck and chest.

"Please," you counter. "Don't tell me you forgot the moment during the reception you saw me bending over to talk to my nephew and decided to pull me away so you could fuck me stupid."

"Totally different," he says against your sternum, his lips following the curve of your breast. "Your ass looked great in that wedding dress, babe."

"Then you must've married me for my ass. I guess we're even, huh?"

Steve looks up at you, a glittering smile on his face as he brings it level with yours. Your lips meet once again, slow and tender as he reaches down between your legs.

"Mmm..." you moan into his mouth as he tickles your clit with his cock, brushing up and down and up and down before he plunges in. "Fuck me!"

"Fuck, baby, you feel so good," he groans when he's fully seated. "God, I fucking love the way you take me."

He only moves to straighten up, hitching your hips up his thighs before he pulls back; he watches your body as he pushes back in slowly, delighting in the way that you squirm for him. His hand slowly crosses your hips, his thumb pressing gentle circles to your clitoris as he pulls back again.

"That's right, baby," he says gently as you bring your hands to your tits. "Touch yourself. Feel how sexy you are."

Your fingers trace the curves of your breasts as Steve begins to thrust; he bites his lip as he watches them bounce, even after you've pinched your nipples between your fingertips. His thumb works against your clitoris, still sensitive and sparking like a live wire.

"Fuck, baby," you moan, closing your legs around his ass to encourage him deeper.

He leans forward, lowering himself onto one arm as he kisses you, all teeth and tongue and desperation as his hips snap quicker.

"All those pretty sounds you're making, babe," he sighs against your lips. "They're making it so hard for me."

"Yeah?" you tease, pressing kisses along his stubbly jawline. "How hard?"

Steve chuckles, pulling your hands above your head and pinning them to the ground before he picks up speed. His hips slam into yours as his free hand strokes your clit, and he groans with his efforts. The head of his cock drags along your g-spot with every thrust, your nerves tingling with imminent ecstasy.

"Fuck," you whine against his neck. "Fuck, you feel so good."

You drag your teeth along the sensitive skin of his pulse point, and you feel his hand tighten around your wrists.

"Baby," he pants. "Come for me, baby."

Not moments after he commands it, do you feel the snap in your core; your cunt seizes around his cock, pure bliss flowing through your veins from head to toe.

"Oh, fuck!" Steve grunts, his hips stuttering as he spills into the condom.

He comes to a stop above you, his breath fast and warm against your mouth. His lips brush yours, gentle and soft as ever, as the two of you level out. Scooping you and your jelly limbs into his arms, Steve helps you sit up, coming face to face with you with a smile.

“Hi,” you laugh, watching him stand.

“Hi,” he replies, helping you to your feet. “Should probably get dressed before someone else comes along.”

Another blush sets your cheeks aflame as you remember you’re on a hiking trail where anyone could pass by, coming across your rather indecent display. Who’s to say nobody did see it, thought? you think. You were too distracted to notice anything else.

“Steve!” you hiss, grabbing your clothes and hopping into them in record time.

“Don’t worry, baby,” Steve laughs, putting his shorts back on. “I would never let anyone else see you naked.”

“Oh, really?” you say, putting your shoes back on. “You mean to tell me that you’re not actually thinking about that threesome Eddie suggested?”

Steve avoids your eye, putting his shirt on. You watch as he gathers up your bags, grabbing you gently by the arm.

“Let’s just finish this trail,” he says quickly, his cheeks turning red.

“Whatever you say,” you reply. “Big Boy.”

Choosing Your Wings: Navigating the World of Small vs. Large Drones

Diving deeper into the world of drones, the distinction between small and large drones encapsulates a broad spectrum of use-cases, capabilities, and considerations. Whether you're a hobbyist, a content creator, or a professional in fields such as surveying, agriculture, or search and rescue, understanding these nuances can help you make an informed decision that aligns with your goals, budget, and level of expertise.

Small Drones: The Gateway to Aerial Exploration

Small drones, often referred to as consumer drones, have democratized aerial photography and videography, making the sky more accessible to enthusiasts and beginners. Their affordability is a key advantage, allowing individuals to explore drone flying without a significant financial investment. This cost-effectiveness also makes small drones an attractive option for educational purposes, enabling students and hobbyists to learn about aerodynamics, remote control operation, and aerial photography with minimal risk.

The portability of small drones is another significant benefit. Many models are designed to be compact, with some even featuring foldable designs that can easily fit into a backpack. This makes them perfect companions for travelers, hikers, and adventure enthusiasts who wish to capture their experiences from unique aerial perspectives.

When it comes to flying, small drones are generally more user-friendly. Manufacturers often equip them with features such as automated flight modes, obstacle detection, and stabilization technologies that assist beginners in mastering flight controls and navigation. These features not only make the flying experience enjoyable but also safer, reducing the risk of accidents.

However, the limitations of small drones become apparent when considering their operational capabilities. The reduced payload capacity means that while they can carry lightweight cameras, the quality of imaging sensors and lenses is often compromised to maintain the drone's lightweight profile. This limitation affects the professional use of drones for high-resolution imaging or advanced surveillance. Furthermore, the reliance on smaller batteries translates to shorter flight times, often necessitating frequent landings and battery changes, which can be inconvenient and disruptive during extended shooting sessions. Their performance in windy conditions is also a notable drawback, as their lightweight design can lead to instability and drift, challenging the pilot's control and potentially compromising safety and image quality.

Large Drones: Professional Workhorses of the Sky

Transitioning to large drones, we enter the realm of professional applications and advanced capabilities. These drones are designed to carry sophisticated payloads, including high-definition cameras, thermal imaging sensors, multispectral cameras for agricultural assessments, and LiDAR systems for detailed 3D mapping. The ability to carry such equipment opens up a plethora of professional applications, from cinematic film production and industrial inspection to precision agriculture and geographical surveys.

One of the most appreciated advantages of large drones is their extended flight time. Equipped with larger batteries and, in some cases, more efficient propulsion systems, these drones can stay airborne for significantly longer periods. This is crucial for tasks that require comprehensive area coverage or sustained focus on a subject, such as wildlife monitoring or search and rescue operations.

The robustness of large drones in handling adverse weather conditions is another key benefit. Their size and weight, combined with powerful motors, provide the stability needed to operate in windy or turbulent environments, ensuring reliable performance and safety during critical missions.

However, the advantages of large drones come with their own set of challenges. The initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs are significantly higher, making them less accessible for hobbyists and small businesses. Their size and weight not only affect portability but also impose logistical challenges for transportation and storage. Operating large drones requires a higher level of skill and experience, as their complexity and the consequences of potential mishaps are greater. Additionally, regulatory considerations become more stringent with larger drones, often requiring operators to obtain certifications, follow specific flight protocols, and adhere to stricter airspace regulations.

Conclusion: Matching Drones to Needs

Choosing between small and large drones ultimately hinges on assessing one's specific needs, budget constraints, and operational capabilities. For enthusiasts and casual users looking to explore aerial photography or enjoy the thrill of flying, small drones offer a cost-effective and accessible entry point. Conversely, professionals and organizations that demand high-quality imaging, extended flight times, and robust performance in challenging conditions will find the investment in large drones justified by their superior capabilities and versatility.

In both cases, advancements in drone technology continue to expand the possibilities, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved from the skies. Whether capturing a breathtaking landscape, inspecting critical infrastructure, or contributing to conservation efforts, drones have become indispensable tools in numerous fields, reflecting the diverse applications and ongoing evolution of aerial technology.

With the right techniques and ideas, we can elevate our skills and create compelling images that tell powerful stories. In this article, we will share 10 essential Street Photography tips to help them master the craft and capture the perfect shot. From choosing the right equipment to engaging with your subjects, we will cover a range of topics that will enhance your street photography experience. We will also discuss the importance of overcoming the fear of being noticed and embracing candid street photography moments. Additionally, we will explore ethical considerations and the art of storytelling through street photography. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced street photographer, these tips will provide valuable insights and techniques to help you improve your skills. So, let's dive in and discover how to capture the essence of street life through the lens of your camera. 1. Choose the Right Equipment for Street Photography When it comes to street photography, the right equipment can make all the difference in capturing those decisive moments. Consider opting for smaller, compact cameras or DSLRs with wide-angle lenses. These types of cameras allow you to blend in with the environment and capture the essence of street life without drawing too much attention to yourself. Experimenting with different camera settings is also key to achieving the desired results. For street photography, try using aperture-priority mode to have more control over your shots. This setting allows you to adjust the aperture while the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed. It's a great way to quickly capture scenes, especially in dynamic street environments where lighting conditions can change rapidly. When hitting the streets, it's important to pack light and carry only the necessary gear. This ensures you'll be mobile and ready to capture any opportunities that come your way. A good street photography kit may include your camera body and a versatile lens, spare batteries, memory cards, and a lightweight tripod for stability when needed. Keeping your equipment minimal allows you to move agilely through the streets and stay focused on your subjects. Must-Have Street Photography Gear Optional Street Photography Gear - Small and compact camera - Wide-angle lens - Fast prime lens - Extra batteries and memory cards - Lightweight tripod - Telephoto lens - External flash - Camera bag or backpack - Lens filters - Remote shutter release By choosing the right equipment for street photography, you'll have the tools you need to capture those candid moments and unique perspectives that make this genre so captivating. Remember, it's not just about the gear, but how you use it to tell stories and evoke emotions through your photographs. 2. Notable Camera Settings for Street Photography While experimenting and finding your own preferred camera settings is part of the journey, here are some recommendations to get you started: - Shoot in aperture-priority mode to have control over depth of field. - Set a wide aperture (low f/number) to achieve a shallow depth of field and isolate your subject. - Use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion and capture sharp images in fast-paced street environments. Consider using auto ISO to keep your exposure consistent in changing street photography lighting conditions. - Try shooting in black and white to emphasize the raw emotions and textures of street scenes. Remember, these settings are just starting points. The key is to experiment, practice, and adapt your camera settings to suit the unique situations you encounter on the streets. 3. Get Close and Engage with Your Subjects One of the key elements in street photography is getting close to your subjects and engaging with them. This allows you to capture authentic moments and emotions that can truly bring your images to life. To achieve this, consider using wide-angle lenses that enable you to immerse yourself in the scene and create a sense of intimacy. By getting closer, you can also add depth and interest to your compositions. When photographing people on the street, it's important to be discreet and respectful. Remember that you are capturing their lives, and it's essential to treat them with dignity. Take the time to observe and understand your subjects before taking their photograph. Be patient and wait for the right moment to capture a genuine expression or interaction. Experiment with different compositions and poses to add variety to your street photography. Play with angles, lines, and framing to create visually interesting shots. Use leading lines to draw attention to your subject or capture candid moments that reveal a story. By exploring different approaches, you can push the boundaries of your street photography and develop your own unique style. In conclusion, getting close and engaging with your subjects is a fundamental aspect of street photography. It allows you to capture the essence of everyday life on the streets and create images that resonate with viewers. By using wide-angle lenses, being discreet and respectful, and experimenting with different compositions in street photography, you can elevate your street photography to new heights. 4. Overcoming the Fear of Being Noticed Street photography can be an exciting and rewarding genre, but for beginners, it can also come with its fair share of challenges. One common fear that many budding street photographers face is the fear of being noticed while capturing candid moments on the streets. However, it's important to remember that street photography is a legitimate form of artistic expression, and you have every right to take photographs in public spaces. To overcome this fear, it's crucial to embrace your passion for street photography and stay confident in your creative pursuits. Remember that you are capturing the authenticity and beauty of everyday life, and your work has the potential to tell compelling stories and evoke emotions in others. Approach your subjects with respect and maintain a courteous attitude. It's also helpful to practice being discreet and blending in with your surroundings. Choosing smaller, compact cameras or DSLRs with wide-angle lenses can help you remain inconspicuous and capture the essence of street life without drawing too much attention to yourself. Additionally, familiarize yourself with your camera's settings and practice shooting in different lighting conditions to gain more control over your shots. In conclusion, don't let the fear of being noticed hinder your passion for street photography. Embrace your role as a visual storyteller, be respectful of others, and focus on capturing authentic moments that convey the vibrancy and character of the streets. 5. Use Smiles and Gestures to Connect with Your Subjects Building a connection with your subjects is crucial in street photography, as it allows you to capture more authentic and compelling shots. One effective way to establish a connection is by using smiles and gestures. A warm smile can put your subjects at ease and make them more comfortable in front of the camera. It shows that you appreciate their presence and value their participation in your project. Gestures can also play a significant role in establishing a connection with your subjects. Engage in friendly interactions by nodding, waving, or even striking up a conversation. These small gestures can break the ice and create a sense of camaraderie, making your subjects more willing to be photographed. "A smile is the universal welcome." - Max Eastman Remember that street photography is about capturing real-life moments, emotions, and stories. By connecting with your subjects, you not only enhance your street photography experience but also create images that resonate with and inspire others. Examples of Street Photography Projects Street photography projects can be a great source of inspiration and motivation for photographers. They provide a platform to showcase your unique perspective and tell captivating stories through visual narratives. Here are a few examples of street photography projects that can ignite your creativity: - "Faces of the City": Focus on capturing the diverse faces and expressions of people in your city, highlighting the individuality and beauty of each person. - The Art of Street Fashion": Explore the fashion trends and styles found on the streets, documenting the unique outfits and personal expressions of individuals. City Rhythms": Capture the energy and vibrancy of city life through dynamic compositions and street photography poses, showcasing the movement and flow of people in urban environments. These projects not only allow you to practice your skills but also provide a focused theme that adds coherence and depth to your work. Experiment with different ideas and themes, and let your creativity shine through your street photography projects. Project Title Description Faces of the City Aim to capture the unique faces and expressions of people in your city, celebrating the diversity and beauty of humanity. The Art of Street Fashion Focus on the fashion trends and styles found on the streets, documenting the individuality and personal expressions of individuals through their clothing choices. City Rhythms Explore the energy and vibrancy of urban life by capturing the movement and flow of people in dynamic compositions. 6. Embrace Candid Shots, But Don't Be Afraid to Ask Capturing candid shots is a hallmark of street photography, allowing for the spontaneous and unscripted moments that make the genre so captivating. Candid shots convey the raw emotions and authenticity of everyday life on the streets. However, it's important not to shy away from engaging with your subjects directly when the opportunity arises. By approaching people and asking for their permission to capture their portrait, you can create more intimate and personal photographs that reveal a deeper connection between the subject and the viewer. When asking for permission, be respectful and explain your intention as a street photographer. Many individuals appreciate being recognized and will gladly pose for you. This approach can lead to meaningful interactions and the chance to capture truly unforgettable moments. Whether you choose to capture candid shots or ask for permission, remember that both approaches have their merits and can result in powerful street photographs. Advantages of Candid Shots: - Preserves the authenticity and spontaneity of the moment. - Captures genuine emotions and reactions. - Conveys a sense of realism and immediacy. Advantages of Asking for Permission: - Creates a personal connection with the subject. - Allows for a deeper exploration of the subject's story. - Ensures the subject is comfortable and willing to be photographed. Ultimately, the choice between candid shots and asking for permission depends on your artistic vision and the story you want to tell through your street photography. Experiment with both approaches and discover the unique perspectives and narratives that each can offer. Remember, street photography is about capturing the essence of everyday life and society, and by embracing candid moments and genuine interactions, you can create images that resonate with viewers and evoke a strong emotional response. 7. Be Mindful of Ethical Considerations Street photography is a powerful medium that allows us to capture the essence of everyday life on the streets. However, it is important to be mindful of ethical considerations when practicing this art form. One of the main ethical dilemmas in street photography is photographing vulnerable individuals, such as the homeless. While these subjects may provide compelling images, it is essential to approach these situations with sensitivity and respect. Instead of exploiting their circumstances, consider how your photographs can raise awareness and support for these individuals. Use your camera as a tool for empathy and understanding, rather than objectifying their experiences. Another ethical consideration in street photography is the invasion of privacy. While public spaces may not offer strong legal protections for privacy, it is essential to be respectful of the people you photograph. Avoid capturing images that may be embarrassing or invasive without the subject's consent. Building a connection and obtaining permission can create a more collaborative and respectful approach to street photography. Remember, the relationships and trust you develop with your subjects are just as important as the images you capture. Respecting Cultural Norms and Local Laws When photographing in different locations, be aware of cultural norms and local laws. Some communities may have specific rules or customs regarding photography, particularly when it comes to religious sites or sensitive areas. Respect these boundaries and seek permission when necessary. Understanding and respecting local customs will not only result in more ethical street photography but also enhance your overall travel experience. Ultimately, street photography should be a means of celebration, connection, and understanding. By being mindful of ethical considerations, we can create powerful and impactful images that uphold the values of empathy, respect, and social responsibility. Let's use our cameras to tell stories that inspire, educate, and promote positive change in our communities. 8. Master the Art of Juxtaposition Juxtaposition is a powerful technique in street photography that allows the photographer to create visual contrasts and capture compelling moments. By combining elements that are seemingly unrelated or opposite, you can create thought-provoking compositions that engage viewers and tell stories. Whether it's contrasting people and their surroundings or juxtaposing different emotions displayed by individuals, this street photography technique adds depth and visual interest to your street photographs. One way to use juxtaposition effectively is by observing and capturing contrasting elements in the scene. Look for situations where there is a clear contrast in color, shape, pattern, or size. For example, a small child standing next to a towering skyscraper or a vibrant street mural against a dilapidated building can make for visually striking compositions. These contrasts draw attention and create a narrative within your photograph. Additionally, juxtaposition can also be used to convey a message or spark curiosity. By placing two seemingly unrelated elements together, you can evoke a sense of irony, humor, or even social commentary. For example, a signboard with a witty message in the background while someone is performing a mundane task can create an interesting juxtaposition that prompts viewers to think deeper about the image. Techniques Examples Contrasting elements A young child playing near a group of adults Irony or humor A person holding an umbrella under a "rain-free zone" sign Emotional contrasts Two people expressing contrasting emotions in the same frame "Juxtaposition is the art of finding connections between seemingly unrelated elements and capturing them in a single frame." - Street Photography Master Experiment with different perspectives and angles to enhance the impact of your juxtaposition. Sometimes a change in your shooting position can completely transform the way the elements interact with each other. Don't be afraid to move around, try different focal lengths, and explore the scene from various angles. Remember, the goal of juxtaposition is to create visually captivating images that leave a lasting impression on the viewer. Practice observing and capturing contrasting elements in your surroundings, and over time, you'll develop an eye for finding unique juxtapositions that make your street photography stand out. 9. Tell a Story with Your Street Photography Street photography is not just about capturing a single moment; it is about telling a story through your images. Each photograph has the potential to evoke emotions, spark curiosity, and transport the viewer into a unique narrative. By carefully selecting your subjects, composition, and timing, you can create a powerful visual story that resonates with your audience. When approaching a street photography project, consider the theme or idea you want to convey. It could be a story about the vibrant street life of a particular neighborhood, the struggles and resilience of a community, or the beauty in everyday moments. Use your camera as a tool to document the world around you and showcase the diversity and complexity of human experiences. To effectively tell a story with your street photography, pay attention to the details. Look for interesting characters, intriguing settings, and compelling interactions. Capture candid moments that reveal a glimpse of someone's personality or emotions. Incorporate elements of the environment that add context and depth to the narrative. Think like a storyteller, carefully curating each frame to create a cohesive and engaging visual narrative. Experiment with different street photography techniques, such as layering, juxtaposition, and capturing decisive moments, to bring your story to life. Consider the order in which you present your images to establish a narrative arc, creating a beginning, middle, and end. Allow your viewers to connect the dots and immerse themselves in the world you have captured. Ultimately, street photography projects that tell a story have the power to provoke emotions, challenge perceptions, and inspire change. Through your images, you have the opportunity to shed light on important social issues, celebrate the beauty of everyday life, and create a visual dialogue that transcends borders and cultures. 10. Embrace the Imperfections and Keep Practicing When it comes to beginner street photography, it's important to embrace the imperfections and keep practicing. Not every photograph will be perfect, and that's okay. Street photography is a continuous learning process, and the more you shoot, the more you'll develop your eye for capturing unique and compelling street images. One of the key aspects of street photography is experimenting with different locations, perspectives, and subjects. Don't be afraid to explore new areas and challenge yourself creatively. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you'll discover new opportunities and gain a fresh perspective on the world around you. Remember, street photography is not about capturing flawless images, but rather about capturing authentic moments and telling stories through your photographs. With each click of the shutter, you'll learn something new. Pay attention to the details, review your images critically, and reflect on what worked and what didn't. This self-reflection will help you improve your skills and develop your unique style as a street photographer. Continual Learning and Growth Street photography is a genre that offers endless possibilities for expression. As you continue to practice and refine your technique, don't be discouraged by mistakes or missed opportunities. Embrace them as learning experiences and use them to fuel your growth as a photographer. Additionally, seek street photography inspiration from other photographers who have mastered the art. Study their work, attend exhibitions, and participate in workshops or online communities to connect with fellow enthusiasts. The exchange of ideas and feedback can be invaluable in your journey toward becoming a skilled street photographer. So, don't be disheartened by imperfections. Instead, let them be a driving force in your growth as a street photographer. Read the full article
