What can I say? Singing chases away the feeling I get when you're not here, keeping me warm. ♥
[ Too spicy. Too spicy. Oh god, she just sent it.
In response, she takes a picture of herself-- a white tanktop and lavender yoga pants, covered tip to toe in paint. Luckily, there was never a shortage where she was. It's also at a high angle. ]
Fair's fair. It's a Rapu-- Unzel-- Punze-- I just don't have a name built for jokes like yours!
Also, that reminds me - you haven't serenaded me yet! [ Pretty sure the last time she sang to him was to rescue him from, well, death. ]
We desperately need to fix that.
[ He's grinning like an idiot at all these texts. That selfie's pretty much his new wallpaper, too. It's a good thing he's currently not on patrol, since it means he can pay more attention to Rapunzel. ]
Awww, you charmer. But when you phrase it like that, I can't help but not want to... okay! I'm going to sing. I've been working on this one for a few days!
[ Pressing the microphone button, she sings a little acapella of the refrain of 'I See The Light'. And at last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted... ]
...
Okay, I am-- definitely not being sexty enough. I'm just singing! [ And yet, she is at a loss for hot things to say. ]
[ Funny she does that. He replies with his own recording: All those days, chasing down a daydream / All those years, living in a blur... ]
Surprise.
[ Back in his Robin days, he got some singing lessons from Alfred. Rapunzel never would have known! He won't acknowledge what he just did until she's done inevitably freaking out about it, though. ]
Hmm... I suppose a few hands-on learning experiences could make you a better sexter.
Seems a little oxymoronic trying to fix perfection, though. ;)
[ Predictably, her phone tumbles in her hands in shock. ]
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT VOICE?! Oh my gosh, you've been keeping secrets from me! And that's like-- you know I sing-- and you never--!!
We could have had duets this whole time!
[ She gets a handle on her phone. Behind her is her next masterpiece, waiting to dry for the next coat. ]
Aww, I'm not perfection. Especially if I have room to... learn?
[ she sends a pic where she's pulling aside her shirt by her collarbone. Scandalous. She's not totally innocent now that she's dating him, but taking pictures is a whole new kind of new. ]
I was too busy trying to save your life, Princess.
Only for you to save mine.
[ If only Rapunzel could see Dick smile so wholesomely at her texts. Her next pic isn't quite as titillating as she might have hoped, but Dick's gotta say... it's endearing as hell. ]
Good point. But to your credit, you mastered 'adorable' pretty early on.
So, is all the art in this pic supposed to be in the foreground or background? I can't tell.
[ She just says that to all of that-- the flattery, the cute imagery and words. How could she not fall in love with this guy? He was like a Rapunzel-seeking missile and she was doomed to boom. Everything he's said to her has felt like a dreamy novel but never a direct copy.
Though she's sure he gets some of his pick-up lines online. He has to, right? Or is it always on the go? ]
You're too sweet to me. It makes me feel like this is still my dream. But it's not! I get to do... sexy text messages and stuff like that with you!
[ She turns on the video feature and for a moment it's just rustling cloth on the camera before she does a ta-da! with her shirt off and a pink sports bra underneath. Then she looks surprised and rushes over to lock the door, the last thing on camera. ]
Right now I'm just watching paint dry before I put on another coat, so... I just wish you were here. When it's just me, it's like-- wow! I'm alone. But I love reading your reactions... seeing the little type-y thing pop up, it gets me excited.
[ If only she wasn't so damn lovesick! She could work on another painting or something, but it's not often he's texting her back so quickly due to their jobs. ]
Okay, fair's fair. I sent another picture and a video, so
[ Okay, Rapunzel, you can do it. You can respond in a way that benefits you both, and is also sexy, and is not a dorky and dumb thing to say. Just type it out with shaking, embarrassed fingers. ]
Why would you settle for anything less than the real thing?
[ >SENT
Her eyes grow wider the longer she stares at the text. TOO SPICY-- ]
How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine? You're not the only one who can keep up with your fancy flirting!
[ Her marginal victory feels like a big one, so she's going to take it. Plus, she's happier knowing it made him laugh, because she knows on some level that it wasn't ~*spicy*~ at all compared to the big leagues.
Like this guy. ] A picture's worth a thousand words, but it's not worth one 100% bonafide Rapunzel.
[ She turns on a voice message and speaks in an overly-Noir, obviously joking voice. The kind of thing a dame falling in love with the head detective would do before letting her hat tip over her eye. ]
I like it when you wear the suit. -- snrk--
[ She cuts herself off but she has to laugh before she presses send. Even just being able to make references like these with all the movies these ultra computers can handle is fun to her. She's fitting in! She understands pop culture now! ]
Oh, if you're on the job, don't worry! But-- I'd like it if you're on break. Uniform and all.
Lol. You sound like almost every henchman I've ever beat up.
[ Dick's fully dressed now, clad in all his Nightwing gear. It's actually recommended but not required to be in costume at the Watchtower, but y'know what?
She does dig the suit. ]
I'm 'on break' indeed, Rapunzel. Crime's at an all-time low here in Bludhaven, which is a first.
Can you tell me if there's a spare Batwing in the Watchtower garage?
[ There's a long pause as she runs down to the garage before excitedly typing back. ]
Yeah! There's one right here! I'm lucky he gave me access just in case I needed to rush to heal someone on the spot and in his words 'would be surprised if I could ride a bike let alone a Batwing' and-- point is, it's here!
[ It's shown that Dick's read her last text, but he never actually responds.
He doesn't have to. ]
Hey there.
[ That's just Nightwing popping up behind Rapunzel in typical batboy fashion. As is customary for any affiliate or member of the Justice League, he just Zeta-Beamed his way up here. Ever since that stuff was installed, there's never been any need to commute to the damn Watchtower.
He waits 'till she's glomped him long enough before speaking. ]
I was thinking of going on a joyride in one of those Batwings.
I figured you wanted time alone with me... so how about we go out in space, and drift cozily along the earth's orbit?
[ Of course, he predicts her just as accurately as can be, as she impressively leaps to his height to embrace him in a hug and squeezes her eyes shut. It's been so long! She doesn't want to let him go, so she'll just... dangle off of him as she lets him talk. ]
Oh-- Yeah, I do like it when I get to go out... [ It worried her sometimes if she left when someone needed her, but if it's Nightwing's permission, she supposes she can bend the rules.
Besides, she knows why he wants the Batwing. This place is covered from head to toe in surveillance technology. Not the most private. ]
[ Doesn't take long before they're cozy in the Batwing, Rapunzel on Dick's lap as he pilots the craft away from the Watchtower's reaches. It doesn't take him any more than a minute to disable any surveillance tech within the Batwing... since he helped build this model and design its software. ]
I don't often do this, coming out here, but... the view's fantastic. I love watching where the darkness ends and the sunlight begins.
It's like a metaphor for the difference between Bruce and Clark!
[ Since he no longer needs to steer, the Batwing remains stable, floating along orbit as he said. With that out of the way, he holds Rapunzel a bit closer. As she rests her head on the space between his neck and shoulder, he kisses her forehead. ]
You never know. I might have loads of personal darkness.
[ Which... she does, technically, but she isn't cognizant of it yet. Her life in the tower had been totally fine from her point of view, except for the gaslighting, the diminishing of her self esteem, the... Gothel. But it was ordinary to her, which was the kicker. It helped to be surrounded by positive people who insisted on helping her and making sure she knew it had been abnormal, but something so lifelong has to chip away first. ]
I know you've got darkness... um-- gosh, that sounds dramatic. I know you lacked a lot of light in your life and now you have to keep watch over Bludhaven and... I wish I could just give you a life away from that. But I can't even give me a life away from it, so I understand.
[ She snuggles up to him. ] Hey, Dick... could we--

I guess Dick's just that versatile. ;)

[ If Rapunzel ever asks, Dick'll say it's all improv. And he'll swear that it is! ]
God, though... you're as cute as ever.
But you seem a bit busy painting. You sure you wanna do this right now?
