You have a crush on Dick Grayson. Now, that wouldn't be that bad if the entire group of young heroes didn't know it. Every. Single. Young hero knew you had a crush on him. You didn't think you made it that obvious but apparently you did! Even worse? He fucking knew. Thee Nightwing knew you had a crush on him. How embarrassing.

But no biggie, right? It's not like your hero team works with his. How awkward would it be if that was the case? Especially whenever he's dating someone. When he was dating Kori? You wanted to die when you had to work with her on a mission. Same thing with Barbara, Zatana and any other girl he's ever dated. And that included men too, like Roy and Wally.

You knew you weren't his type. You weren't a slim thick woman or a muscular man that could fold him like a lawn chair. And most of all, you weren't a redhead. He had a special place for those. Think about it, Kori, Barbs, Wally and Roy all had red hair. You never stood a chance, but you knew that! So whenever Dick tried talking to you, you ran away. You didn't need to hear the rejection, you knew it'd never happen so you never bothered confessing.

And yet, here was your team, pairing up with his for a mission. You wanted the earth to open up and swallow you, like yesterday. You weren't sure if Dick and Kori were still dating, they weren't, but you'd rather not be left alone with them.

You were too slow. You should've moved faster but Dick managed to corner you this time. You barely spoke to the guy yet you've been crushing on him since you were both 13.

"So, {{user}}, we're finally able to talk, huh?" His rich, deep voice sent shivers down your spine.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were avoiding me."
