“You are so perfectly beautiful in a delicate kind of way that hits the senses like a boulder, what I mean is.. that your beauty is so deeply embedded within you, down to your heart.. it takes a moment for things to sink in and then BAM!! It hits me like TNT, I love this person cause they are such a soft rendering of perfect perfection that I can do nothing else but love you for being so beautiful..”
Sorry the audio is a bit rough it’s the best one I could find. Sorry this took so long school has me swamped on top of the stress of the ACT which I have to take this Saturday. Anyway I really hope you both like this!
Dick’s POV
I watch over Gotham on a ever so familiar roof. It seemed like forever ago.
— Flashback —
“Well Bird Boy I got to be going now.” A girl dressed in her signature cat costume says smiling ear to ear standing a top the edge of a building. I have chased across the city while Batman dealt with Cat Woman.
“Cat Girl give me the gems.” I demanded looking Cat Woman’s side kick in the eyes. Those shockingly pretty eyes… Focus Dick.
She taps her gloves finger on her chin tilting her head to one side, “How about no.” She leans backwards falling from the building. I run forward yelling out but by the time I reached the edge she was gone.
— End Flashback —
She disappeared after that night. Even Cat Woman had no clue where she had vanished to. She did take those stolen gems with her and with them she could have gotten far. I never did learn her name, but behind that mask I could tell there was more than just a thief. And it didn’t help that I had a crush on her back then which my have carried over to know. I always try and imagine what she would look like now.
“Looks like someone got a costume upgrade.” A voice says from behind me. I whip around weapon out. A woman dressed in cat themed costume sat a top the roof access.
“Who are you?” I question ready to fight.
She smiles at me, “I’m Kattehelt, and don’t you forget cutie.” She flips off the back and by the time I reach the backside of the access point she was gone. I searched Gotham high and low for this new… well I don’t know. Hero hopefully, Gotham has enough villains.
— Time Skip — In The Batcave
“Well according to this Kattehelt is a hero but she is popular in Europe countries, China, and Asia. Her first appearance was in Tibet though.” Tim reports to Dick sipping on coffee. “This is the first sighting of her in the U.S.”
“So she’s a hero for sure?” I question, it’s easy to fake a reputation.
Tim raise a brow, “I just said that, she has saved a countless number of children, women, families, animals, heck you name it a she probably has saved it at some point. Kattehelt is the real deal.”
Dick crosses his arms, “She knows me.”
“Well you must know her from somewhere.” Tim comments shrugging and going back to what ever he was doing on the Bat Computer.
“Helpful.”
“I try.”
— Time Skip — The Next Night
“Hey Bird Boy need some help.” An all to familiar voice says from beside me making me jump. Bird Boy… no way.
I point at her mouth open in shock, “It’s you.”
She places her hand on my finger, “It’s rude to point you know.”
“Cat Girl?” I question with a smile making its way on to my face.
“The cute birdy has brains.” She laughs covering her mouth with hand to quite herself. “Took you long enough.” Kattehelt gives me a quick kiss on my lips, “Been wanting to do that since we were young, see you later.” She gives a waves and runs off jumping to the next building.
I smile a chase after her. She’s not getting away from me every again.
— Time Skip — 6 Months Later
“Dick I swear if you don’t get your dirty dishes to the sink I’m going to kick your sexy butt.” The voice of my lovely girlfriend shouts playfully.
“Coming (F/N)!” I shout back grabbing the dishes from the table. I kiss placing the fish in the sink.
She pushes me away gently, “Let’s get a move on Bird Boy we have a city to protect.”
“Of course Kattehelt.” I spin her around pulling her into my chest a kiss her once more.
Vacations are going on and I was sipping my coffee in the evening, thinking about how time has evolved. When we were small kids vacations used to be the best part and much awaited thing. Going to granny’s house was like a dream come true and preparations for us have started from the last time we visited her. She is the most serine beauty with pious love. Her love is like pixie dust sprinkled on me that always rejuvenate me. Visiting her was like no tension of the holiday’s homework, waking up late, tasty food served to you on silver platter and you are the crown bearers who are just ordering. Late night fairy tales were the best part, that time they used to be just stories but now the realization came they were filled with beautiful life lessons which had always guided us. I miss my Granny a lot. She was a mixture of a good parent, an efficient teacher and a true friend. The last word she uttered before resting in peace was my name. I used to have a great fight with her and we used to fight like cats and dogs. My mother was one who always came as a rescue force to help us be friends again when we both stop talking to each other. She was the one to rescue me from Dad’s scolding and always has a tantrum to play to help me convince my parents. Those hand knitted sweaters in the cozy winters remind me of her love and dedication which she poured in every strand she knitted. Few months before she got ill I was sitting by her side gazing her. The realization of the thought that she will be leaving me made my eyes weepy. Her wrinkled cheeks, loose skin, grey hair and stooping body made me nostalgic but the beauty with which she embraced this waning phase of life made me elated. Time is a great teacher and no one is able to escape from it so as my granny. Grandparents play a crucial role in the development of their grandchildren. They hold our hands for a while but our hearts, forever.They teach some valuable lessons which remain with us for the lifetime. They are the best guardians who know all the tricks and hacks to make us happy.They are the only ones who always have time for us and listen to our endless talks. They help in building a good character and ensure where ever we go, love and humbleness should be within us. They always make it sure that we grow up with good etiquette and moral values. Forgot to mention, they also become superman sometimes, as they are ready to fight with anyone who threatens us. Their love, motivation and dedication towards us ultimately make us a good citizen. In the nutshell, If nothing is going well, call your Granny.
I am a lover of words and tragically beautiful things, poor timing and longing, and all things with soul, and I wonder if that means I am entirely broken, or if those are the things that have been keeping me whole.
