CARPE DIEM.

and i swear when he smiles
i forget how to breathe.

━━━ SYNOPSIS
         she whispered 'show me' when they first met.

he initially thought the sound of such a challenge on her tongue had sounded so lurid.

he could be mistaken.

perhaps it was the exploding lights around them. red danced delectably across her for a pause, with long lashes holding half her eyes and a smile that seemed more dangerous than his guns.

then suddenly a yellow; purple; the hustle from the crowd around them and the music berating the air.

jason realized a few months after that athena enjoyed daring him solely because of his reaction.

especially from that night.

because she will never forget how his lips slanted skyward, eyes unraveling her enticingly in the dark, and how it made her consider how beautiful sin could be.

he seemed to tell her a few things that night also, of course in his own way.

one hand cradling her jaw with his thumb stitching across athena's cheek ( you're going to go through so much pain with me ).

the other hand had laced with her own ( i wish that you wouldn't have to ).

subconsciously pulling her up to his chest. a thumping heart that couldn't possibly be his own against her ( i will leave you unhinged, worried, damaged ).

his head tucked into her neck ( because i am all of those already ). and dainty fingers then carted and smoothed at the back of his head like it was drawing constellations.

neither knew what that quite said. but athena was known to seek trouble as though she were blind.

( and i will love you regardless ).

━━━ athena kincaid !
i think you are a victim. call
me crazy red, but you run
around with the gates of hell
on your fists delivering the
criminals. you know some
justice should be violent.

━━━ jason todd !
i didn't think i could see
after i died. billboards

colors, ducks would be
yellow, but, before you
i couldn't see?

' make the most of the night?'
' like we're gonna die?'

BEE TEE DUBS, RACE ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED.

this story is kind of inspired by recent events going on in the world and how they are approached vs how the should and results. as someone of color, i'm not afraid to talk about these subjects OR THE NAMES THAT NEED TO BE FINALLY HEARD.

gotham isn't even perfect in the first place so i doubt they (like everywhere else) will be devoid of racially oppressed and oppressors. this is going to be mine (and anyone else's if you want boo) little escape from all the brutality going on right now and a REMINDER that when justice comes it will be great.

athena and jason are going to be great activists.

ALSO it's kinda cannon to the comics, i mean, i worked hard doing up a timeline which will help me with this story and other dc ones.

stay safe guys and always stand your ground. helping even one person means helping the world.
