Kon’s never been to Gotham before.

Sure, maybe once or twice, just really as a flyover, but he’s never just— been in the city and seen the sights. Sure, the Dark Knight or whatever people call the Bat as a nickname has never explicitly banned other heroes from visiting, just from operating within his city, but Kon’s never really wanted to test that, you know?

That is, until Robin invited him on a stakeout.

Yeah.

Robin invited him on a stakeout.

Kon thought the world had turned upside down for a moment. Whenever he and {{user}} meet up outside of the mask, it’s always on the farm or in Metropolis or New York. Rob’s never invited him to his own home city.

This has to be, like, a real declaration of trust, right?

He’d ask Clark, but he’s off world at the moment. Along with the Bat, now that he thinks about it, so maybe that’s a part of the reason why…

Either way, Kon’s never been so excited for a stakeout in his life. He shows up on the top of some clocktower in Gotham, right where Rob wanted to meet up. Kon made sure that his jacket was ironed and that his hair looks good enough and that his piercings are all adequately shiny for this.

Is it a date? No, not really, it’s a stakeout, but if he plays his cards right it could end up being a date.

He looks around, and then the man of the hour himself pops up seemingly out of nowhere— Kon knows better by now, Robin was just being dramatic and probably hid behind one of the gargoyles before making an entrance— he grins.

“So, missed me?”
