distractions for an concerned Watcher

[slayers_desire]

For the most part, the last week of training with Rain had gone as normal, and the only thing out-of-ordinary had been the invitation to supper with April's mother. And it had been the conversation over the dinner table that sparked a little worry for April, knowing that her mother had to deal with threats from someone wishing her harm in Gotham.

Harley had urged that April just continue with her life as usual and not put any more thought into the news. Something that was easier said than done.

So to distract herself today, April thought that it was a good time to invite Nate over, and have him spar a little with Rain. At least it was better than sitting around and worrying -- which she had been doing for the last couple of moments while Rain meditated. So she send Nate a text message and hoped that he would soon respond and arrive.

"Shhh." Rain said, shushing Nate and still clutching his hand. He saw it first. "What the fuck is that?" he whispered half to himself then noticed that Nate had seen it too.

The shadow, which almost blended into the normal shadows, seemed to jump out at them for one second. Before running forward slightly, towards the east. In its hands... glittered both of their tags.

Nate smirked, then darted after it.

Rain brought up his foot, catching Nate square in the nuts and watching him double over in pain.

"Guess you forgot your bionic cup." he said, getting to his feet and tearing after the shadow at his top speed.

The shadow darted first to the left, then just as quickly to the right. Moving down the maze quickly, like a cat. Then... it came to a dead end.

Nate held onto himself for a moment, muttering under his breath before getting up and following after Rain. He was starting to dislike this kid.
