She smiled and left the roof going down the stairs back to the gala

He followed close behind, blinking a few times to let his eyes adjust to the lighting

"it's bright sorry" she said

“It’s alright, glad they turned back on the lights.” He said, looking around in slight surprise

" the dark was better" she said

He laughed softly and nodded, “it really was.” He searched around a bit for Jacks

she pointed to the pink green and purple haired girl

Brink looked to where she was pointing and sighed softly. His sister had gotten into a pretty intense drinking game and was now about to claim victory. He let go of Vanessa for a moment and snatched the drink away from his sister "oh no you don't, no need for that tonight Jacksy."
"Aw brink, you're no fun!"
"I'm plenty of fun, I just don't need you drunk for when we go home."
Jacks rolled her eyes but complied when Brink dragged her away from the group.

Brink hadn't been gone 2 minutes in three guys had approached her trying to sweet-talk her into going home with them

Jacks tugged at Brink's arm and jerked her chin over to vanessa, even in her drunken state of mind, Jacks still could throw a few punches. Brink narrowed his eyes and nodded to Jacks, who nodded and unsheathed a knife she had snuck in.
Brink came up behind Vanessa and wrapped a secure arm around her waist, tugging her to his chest and staring down the three who had approached her

With her back pressed to him she tilted her head to look at him

He kept his gaze on the three men but he loosened his grip on Vanessa, knowing that she would be able to fight as well as anyone if they made a move.
He offered a sweet smile and gracefully twirled Vanessa next to him, slightly shifting in front of her protectively. "sorry boys, she's taken. But might I suggest my dear sister? i'm sure you'd have a splendid time with her."
Jacklyn snorted a laugh and bowed theatrically, flipping the knife between her gloved hands "Oh I'm sure we would dear brother. Me and my little friend here would have a blast with them." her eyes sparkled an unnatural green, her and Brink's lineage prominent as ever in their composure

The boys went to take a step forward and Vanessa was there she put her claw to the middle ones throat " you know I can kill you, one swipe of my claw across your neck and you'll bleed to death" she said

Brink and Jacks had moved behind the other two men and were now holding weapons to their heads, Jacks her knife and Brink a pistol he had gotten from his dad "Now now boys, that so way to turn down an offer." he whined, "see what you've done to my sister? you made her mad. You don't make her mad. Ah well, I guess what's done is done. Jacksy I hope you're not too offended."
"Nah, i'm fine, this is much more fun"
Brink grinned wider and tilted his head back with a sharp laugh, "now, I will only say with once more. get lost or we'll do it for you"

The guy in the middle laughed really feline your hanging with the quin's when is your boyfriend going to come in and save you if he left you with these two he must not be doing his job right" he said cupping one of her cheeks and running his thumb over her bottom lip

Brink's eyes shifted into the same color as his sisters, especially since someone had the bright idea of cutting out the lights again. He knew the rest of the guest loved nothing more than to see an entertaining fight. He shot the first man in the head, letting him slump down on to the ground with a satisfying thud. He nodded to jacks who jut the other man's throat, watching with a sick grin as he splutter a few incoherent words before he dropped to the ground as well. He slowly walked around the little area the guests had provided them and tilted his head at the man, his tattoos illuminated by the lack of light, showing an intricate smile, though Brink was anything except happy at the moment. "She doesn't need saving, she can handle herself very well." he called to the man

Vanessa put a hand on brinks shoulder "Brink" she said softly turning him around

Brink kept his eyes on the man for another moment before turning attention to his cat. "yes kitty?" he replied, voice much softer than just a few moments before

She titled her head ever so slightly and stroked his cheek" I think he gets it. . .Thank you"

He leaned into her hand momentarily and shut his eyes, forcing himself to calm down. When he opened his eyes, they were back to their normal green color. He flicked his gaze up to the man before quickly looking away, not wanting for his temper to rise again. "touch her again and you lose that body part, got it?" he said to him, lacing he hand with his and pressing a kiss to the back of it

She smiled and bit her lip, loving the feeling of his lips on her

"we'll be on the roof if you need us." he let her go with a soft smile and linked arms with his sister, walking back to the stairs that led to the rooftop.

She smiled watching them go, she sat on the bottom step of the staircase, the worst that could happen was someone ask her to dance

"I've never seen you that way, you must really love her if you're willing to kill for her." Jacks nodded with a smile, sitting next to her brother on the edge of the rooftop
Brink offered a small smile "I do. Is it supposed to be this horrifying though? I would have never done that with anyone else except for you or mom. It's weird with someone that's not my family."
"Thats normal Brink, for our family at least. Aw my brother's infatuated! thats just adorable!!!"
Brink blushed but didn't deny his sister's words

Vanessa leaned her head against the railing of the spiral staircase

Jacks gasped and gently slapped at Brink's arm to get his attention. Jacks always acted a bit childish when drunk, save for when she was tasked with threatening or killing. "hm? yeah?"
"you two should go out on a date! you know! like a romantic stroll through gotham, you and her and no one else to disturb you!"
Brink thought for a moment "maybe, except that Gotham is worse at night than it is in the day so maybe not so private."
Jacks waved her hand dismisvely "don't worry, I've got the perect little place for you to hang out. so ya in?"
Brink smiled. For what it was worth, he loved his sister, more than anything. As a little kid, he would expect her to be ruthless and cruel to him, as he heard most siblings were. But he quickly found out that she was kind and supportive. yes she had all the characteristics the family was born with but she also had a good heart. He hugged her tight and nodded, grinning when he felt her hug back "thanks Jacksy."

Vanessa was bored but she always was brink and Jacklyn always excited things up but then she decided to get up and go eat …what people are when they were bored

(yes, yes we most defiantly do)
Jacks smiled at her little brother and jerked her head back to the door "go be withe her. Or at least bring her up here if you don't want to be down there. I'll stay down stairs if you want to privacy. And no i won't drink anymore."
Brink grinned and nodded, standing to go find vanessa

She was currently drinking the punch that was.spiked because there was nothing else to drink

He went back down stairs and searched around for a bit. He eventually made his way around the room to the food and drink table. He smiled soflty and gently wrapped his arm around her waist "I never knew cats could drink."
