Red Hood has joked about the two of you fake dating before. Just for some stupid publicity stunt. The idea of people going crazy over it entertained him. You made sure to tell him it was stupid, even reminded him of how dumb his idea was every now and then. But after almost having your identity leaked a stunt like that, it could be useful to shift attention.

"Oh, and now all of a sudden it doesn't seem so stupid, huh?" Red Hood says this almost mockingly. "Why should I help you now?"
