    Summary

    People who lived outside of Gotham City would most often think of it in terms of its heroes and villains. About Batman and Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn.

    People who actually live in Gotham City would only think of one thing: surviving.

    Who cares about the people in costumes when your house has been bombed for the fifth time, or your wife has been taken hostage just because she worked in a bank?

    Or, in your case, when you have to make regular deliveries to places where even Batman feared to tread?

    Because let's face it. In a world full of superheroes and costumed villains, the real heroes are the ones who make sure that people get their pizzas in forty-five minutes or less.

    Summary

    Here are the rules to survive as a civilian in Gotham City:

    The first rule is to keep your head down. Don't draw attention to yourself. Don't make eye contact. Walk briskly and with purpose. Don't wear anything flashy that can be stolen and most certainly do not walk down that dark alley.

    The second rule is don't be a hero. Avoid confrontations. Walk the other way when you see a standoff. Don't try to help that man getting beat up in the alley, because odds are you'll get killed right along with him. Gotham City has Batman for a reason.

    The third and most important rule is this: Don't get involved with superheroes.

    Or in your case, gun-toting vigilantes.

    Summary

    You shoved the stack towards him, and when he reached out, your hands bumped.

    How to describe it?

    An electric shock.

    And then, a cacophony of sensations.

    You knew, right then, how it felt to be bare-skinned and in warm, firm arms – they were wrapping around you in your sleep, they were throwing you over his shoulder as you shrieked and beat your fists against his back. You heard the vibrating timbre of his voice against your ear, felt the taste of his lips crushing into yours and leaving soft, sweet nothings down your shoulder blades, to the base of your spine. You felt the ghost of him cupping your cheek, gripping your hips as you arched above his body.

    He felt the same thing, you could tell, because he was staring at you like you were from Mars.

    Those arctic eyes held yours. You didn’t say anything – just stared.
