Exceptional Love [Tim Drake x Reader]

[(Y/N)'s POV]

It's been at least 10 minutes since I last called Daniel, and he still hasn't called back.

As I walked through the pathways of the maze, I couldn't help but wonder if he was alright.

He couldn't have got caught up in the explosion. He must've been at the parking lot.

The least I can think is that he's okay.

But now I'm wondering how Tim was doing.

I haven't heard anymore explosions, so was it over?

Slowly, I started to feel cold. I shouldn't have left my sweater in the car. If only I can find the exit to this maze quicker.

...

Perhaps if I throw my phone high above the air while it's recording, I can get a hint of what pathway to take.

I steadied my phone in my hand horizontally, and made sure it would've stayed like that in the air. Then, I threw it up.

Steady, I kept repeating.

All that preparing was for nothing though because someone had appeared from the other side of the hedge wall in mid-air and grabbed my phone.

They flipped and landed safely on the floor beside me.

I started to back away from the unknown figure standing to turn to me. They were about the same height as me.

"This wouldn't have worked" they said, their voice filtered with a robotic tone.

Everything about them was covered up in black. Their whole suit, their mask, their boots.

Is this the infamous hacker?

The person started handing me back my phone, which made me take a step back.

My mouth started to move on it's on, "Are you... the hacke-"

"What? No!" They sighed loudly.

"I'm just a masked person going after the hacker"

My alarming position did not change, and they noticed.

"(Y/N), you will have to trust me on this one"

I furrowed my brows. How did they know my name?

Actually, it's not really that surprising. People do recognize who I am. But still.

"You think I will?" I crossed my arms.

"Who knows? Maybe you're lying about you not being the hacker. Maybe you're even working for Two-Face!" I raised my voice, probably frustrating them if they really weren't the hacker.

They had a hand on their face, "If I was the hacker or anyone bad," they raised their head, "I would've kidnapped you by now"

Their tone sounded almost menacing, but I felt like they were telling the truth.

How I wish I could see their facial expressions instead of the dark mask they wore. It would be a lot easier to read them.

"I'll help you find your way out of the maze" they stated.

Took me a second, but I silently groaned and gave in, "Alright, you lead"

I really had no other choice.

As I quietly followed them, I noticed that they had their head lowered. Were they looking at something?

Surprisingly after a few minutes, we haven't bumped into any other dead ends.
