It had been a long day, that's the only excuse he had for making such a stupid mistake - it happened sometimes, and he beat himself up over it every time. He moved just a little too slow and the mob hitman he'd been fighting got the drop on him. He was injured, and Dick had already disarmed him, so at least he took the opportunity to run rather than try and take advantage of the opening Dick had foolishly left him.

He scooped up his gun on the way past, firing blindly over his shoulder (the bullets thankfully going far too wide) and disappearing down the nearest alley. Dick scrambled to his feet and took off after him, swearing under his breath.

He caught the flash of the guy's leather jacket disappearing round the next corner and heard another gunshot followed by a couple of thuds - like the sound of an extremely heavy fist hitting somebody's face, and that somebody hitting the floor, perhaps. He skidded to a halt round the corner and found his quarry on the floor, unconscious, with another man standing over him.

"...uh, thanks?"

It happens pretty quickly. Noise in the distance at first, getting closer, and once the culprit was close enough he just ... reacted. It's practically instinct at this point, despite causing a scene and making public notice of himself being the last thing he should be doing right now. He should've just kept out of the way, stay out of sight, let the bad guy get away with it. But thinking about it like that, it doesn't sit right with him.

At least it's over quick. He didn't have to do much, just take a half step to the side and let nature run its course. Running headlong into a supersoldier's metal fist is enough to take anybody out quick without much thought or strategy behind it. The man's out like a light on the ground, bleeding pretty heavy from his now broken nose, and pursuer not too far behind him. Just in case the guy chasing the fallen man is also going to be a problem, he stays tense and at the ready, just in case this is a private feud he wasn't supposed to intervene in.

"You're-- you're welcome," he answers with a shrug of his shoulders, reaching to rub the back of his neck, and keeping his gaze down and turned away. Just in case. "Didn't mean to ... uh, interrupt you two."

"Hey if you're gonna take out the bad guy for me, feel free to interrupt any time you like." Dick joked, crouching down beside the unconscious mobster and pulling out some cuffs, securing his hands behind his back while also checking him over for the effects of the stranger's hit. A broken nose, but no more serious damage than that, other than a probably concussion and a hell of a lot of bruising. Safe enough to drop off within easy reach of some cops, anyway, since they'd been after this guy for a while.

He was conscious of the other guy while he worked, though, ensuring he could always keep him in the corner of his eye, just in case, but after a little while he straightened up and turned to him.

"I'm Nightwing, by the way... if the costume didn't give it away."

_{[No worries! I never mind waiting, rl be like that sometimes. Totally still up for both <3]}
