I knew how dangerous it was to walk at night. I had been working in Gotham for a while now as I was unable to pick up work in Metropolis. It was just a short walk over the bridge or to the ferry. I took a deep blue sky above, locking the café door behind me. I took a deep breath and looked at my phone, no notifications. I looked around, the street was deserted except for myself. I began walking, reciting in my head what I would do if I ran into a villain. But if it was Moth-Man I would laugh too much, probably getting myself shot.
I cleared my throat and gripped my bag, walking slightly faster hearing a car engine in the distance. It was only another block and a half and I would be to the bus stop that arrived at the ferry. I decided to use the ferry as it was considerably safer than walking all the way home. I looked around once more. I knew I was going against my boyfriend’s wishes but Lex didn’t offer to pick me up or get a car or anything so it was like he wanted me to stay overnight. The car I heard before was coming closer and closer, faster than a rate I could run in heels. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the window roll down. I prepared myself for the kidnapping. Kick them in the skin and genitals, elbow to face and fist up their jaw.
“Y/N, what are you doing?” I heard Lex’s voice.
I must be dreaming. I stopped and turned to the car. There was Lex, sitting in the driver’s seat of the car.
“What am I doing?” I mocked “Walking home!”
“Have you even looked around? Any minute now someone would have come along and hurt you! I would never live with myself knowing I could have protected you” Lex argued, stopping the car.
“I am an adult Lex, you cannot control me!” I yelled back, crossing my arms over my chest.
Lex rolled the eyes and I saw him press and button. The car door behind him clicked open and I stuck my head up, refusing to enter the car. If he wasn’t here before he certainly isn’t going to be here for me know. I let out a deep breath and tiredly looked him in the eye.
“I can’t believe you just didn’t swallow your pride and text me Y/N! Or even ask to leave earlier?” Lex snapped, gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were white. “Get in the car”
