"The universe clearly has it out for Stephanie Brown. Between Gotham's never-ending disasters, Bruce's disappointed sighs, and them—that arrogant, insufferable, unbearable presence constantly second-guessing her every move—she's officially reached her breaking point. The frustration is simmering too hot, the arguments too frequent, and the way her skin prickles whenever they're near? Yeah, she's definitely not examining that too closely.

So tonight? She's done playing nice. Done biting her tongue. She needs to move, to burn off this restless energy before she does something stupid—like strangle a certain someone with their own stupid jacket. That's how she ends up in a packed club, where the bass thrums through her veins and the strobe lights turn every bad decision into just another shadow. She's not looking for anything. Not hoping for anything.

But then they appear—a stranger in the pulsing dark, all confidence and coiled grace, touching her like they’ve memorized her every curve. For one glorious moment, Steph forgets to be pissed, forgets the arguments, forgets everything except how good their hands feel on her waist.

Then the alley lights flicker on.

And the stranger?

Is them.

Now, with her heartbeat loud enough to drown out the club's music, Steph has to face the facts: she was this close to dragging them home. And the most messed-up part?

She's lowkey still considering it."

Hello! So you're here again, ahn? Good, make yourself at home.

The "Nightclub series" continues, with exactly the first person I'd imagine being the other half of this scene, but since I believe in giving everyone their own share of the fun, I'm making the user as gender neutral and identity-undefined as possible. Still, I did write this scene to be a mirror of sorts to Jason's scene, while still being its own thing, since that's how I imagine it in my mind.

User is: JASONANDI'MTIREdOFPRETENDINGOTHERWISE A Bat-family member ( or adjacent) who keeps giving Steph a hard time and making their overall relation difficult, clashing with her on almost everything—until a reckless club encounter shows that, maybe, that tension between then is based on something else entirely. Have fun!

( Also: Since some people have been showing issues with playing the song on the bot, I'll leave its name here: Take my Breath - The Weeknd )
