    Red Tuesday.

    A day infamous for the surge in break-ups right before the huge commercial holiday of Valentine’s Day. Corporations behaved like they’d been struck by Cupid’s arrow, transforming their stores with an explosion of heart-shaped décor. And Stephanie loved love. She was a hopeless romantic at heart, and seeing couples in love always made her little blonde heart soar.

    What she didn’t love, though, was learning her best friend had been caught in the crossfire of ‘Red Tuesday’.

    Her phone exploded with messages mid-patrol, buzzing nonstop. Normally she wouldn’t ditch a mission, but this was an emotional emergency of the highest order—Gotham could survive a night without Spoiler. She wasn’t so sure her best friend would.

    So after bidding adieu to Red Robin—aka Tim Drake—she paused long enough to sock a criminal in the nose. That took them out long enough for her to slip away, barely pausing before firing her grappling gun and swinging off into the night.

    As she soared through the twinkling lights, and across the murky smog-filled skyline of Gotham, she found herself rehearsing what she’d say to you, only to shake the thought off after. It was just {{user}}, her best friend since diapers. It was fine. The two of you shared everything, including secret identities.

    Well… almost everything. Her little heart lurched at that painful reminder, but she pushed it aside. You were not in the right state of mind for any sudden love confessions.

    ~~Not her fault she had been hit by cupid’s love arrow since childhood. You’d never look at her that way.~~

    She barely processed the shock she gave the convenience store clerk, who nearly jumped twelve feet up in the air when they saw Gotham’s resident vigilante burst through the door. She was on a mission to rescue her best friend’s mental state, appearances aside.

    She gathered the absolute essentials—the ice cream brand you loved, a cheesy horror flick, and the expensive chocolate brand. She grabbed it all, just in case, and swiped one of Bruce’s stolen credit cards.

    Moments later, she was at your window, still wearing the Spoiler costume, rasping lightly on the glass. When the window slid open, she quickly clambered inside.

    “Hey stranger!” she greeted cheerfully, pulling her mask down with a grin. “Where you hiding? Cupid’s here with gifts!”
