Witch (Adrian Chase x reader)

Request: alright, so I've had this idea for a while and idk if it could be a potential series or even just a oneshot (fine with either) but i was wondering if u could do an adrian chase x witch/half-demon reader? when it comes to her powers, think someone like raven (teen titans) and the only person who can truly comfort her when she goes berserk or if she goes slightly out of control, Adrian's there to protect her. of course she gets stares and not so nice words from people because of who she is but she has adrian and she'll always need him. lemme know what u think!

NEW ONE SHOT SERIES SEND IN REQUEST FOR WITCH READER!!

Masterlist

Warnings: mentions of injuries, violence, cursing, mentions of sex, and Adrian being a love struck idiot

“Blood on the moon..Shit.” You mumbled out. You needed to get home soon. A storm was coming and you needed to prepare your shop for the oncoming trouble. You sighed as you passed by a small group of men.

“Woah she is-”

“Don’t think about it Steve unless you wanna be cursed. No one who has ever approached her has lived to tell the tale.” You chuckled a bit. It was always the same.

You were different to say the least. Your family history was well known in Evergreen.

Decades ago they had tried to hang your great grandmother accusing of her of witchcraft only for the noose to break when they dropped her.

It scared everyone to say the least.

She proceeded to curse anyone who would try to hurt her bloodline. The entire town proceeded to suffer from sickness shortly after.

Only a handful of people survived. It was hard for the town people to forget that and it was even put in some small history books.

So with that said, yes you were a witch. Your grandmother had infused her blood line with dark magic and the blood of a demon. It gave you peculiar abilities.

She was crazy to say the least. It ran in your family though and you thought you did a pretty good job hiding it.

You never denied or confirmed anyone’s suspicions. It was more fun to watch them squirm.

Although...it would get lonely at times. Not having any friends or a significant other...

Your mom and father always said one day someone would be brave enough to approach you.

Someday seemed to never come. That was until tonight at least. You walked through the alleyway to the side entrance for your shop. You owned a small book shop.

Your apartment connected to it upstairs. Digging through you bag looked for your keys before jumping hearing a small groan near the trash cans.

You raised your hand ready to attack as you slowly approached before tilting your head seeing a foot peeking out. “What the fuck?” You murmured into the night air as you saw a masked man laying unconscious on the floor.

“Oh shit.” He was bleeding bad. Wait..This was the lunatic you’d been seeing all over the news. The one who only killed criminals. What was his name again. Vlad? No that sounded stupid.

You sighed picking him up effortlessly. You may not know him, but you couldn’t just let him die, plus you’re pretty sure he was a good guy. That’s at least what your gut was telling you.

It helped having magic in times like these. He was light to you. You laid him on your dining table sighing as you looked for his wound. He was bleeding from his right side. Must’ve been stabbed...

You sighed removing his chest plate and his top. Grimacing, you winced seeing the stab wound. It wasn’t too deep, but it was a good thing you found him. You snapped your fingers bringing your sewing supplies to you.

Nothing a couple of stitches couldn’t fix. You went to your cabinets humming a small tune as you looked around for some cream you had made a while back.

It should help fix him right up. You grabbed some gloves applying some to the wound. It should be gone by the morning.

You washed up after wrapping his wound. Grabbing his shirt, you used your magic lifting him up to help slip it back on.

“Should I take off the mask?..No he has it on for a reason.” You laid him back down deciding to make a tea.

Your magic stirred the spoon in your tea as you walked to the fridge to grab your leftovers from the night before. You jumped dropping your container of food hearing a click.

Adrian sat up cocking his gun at you. “Who the fuck are you and where am I?” You turned around slowly.

“Okay put the gun down there’s no need for it-”

“Yes there is. I don’t know you. Now who are you and where am I?”

Sighing you bent down picking your container of food up. “I found you in the alleyway outside my apartment and shop. You were injured so I stitched you up and applied some medicine of mine.” Adrian glanced down realizing his stab wound didn’t hurt him at all.

“Now please lower your gun.”

“Oh.” He nodded putting the gun down.

“You didn’t take off my mask right?” You shook your head.

“No I respected your choice to keep your identity a secret.” Adrian nodded.

“Thanks I guess?”

“You guess? You almost bled out. You’re lucky to be alive right now dude.” You grabbed two plates.

“You hungry? I made a mean casserole yesterday. It’s my leftovers from yesterday?” He nodded as you served him some.

“Nice I can get rid of it!” He chuckled a bit before sitting up.

“Don’t move so much I’d hate for my hard work to go to waste.”

“Why doesn’t it hurt?”

“It’s my medicine. It’s homemade. You’ll be fully healed tomorrow.”

“Really?!” You nodded giving him a small smile.

“Yeah I hope you like cheese.” Adrian smiled under his mask. “Wow..”

“What?..”

You were absolutely breathtaking to him.

“Nothing just it smells good. So are you new around here? I don’t think I’ve seen you around.” You gave him a small shocked look.

“Wait what?” This was new.

“Are you new here-”

“No I’ve lived here almost my whole life..”

“Did you really?” You nodded.

“And you?”

“I have too..How have I never seen you before?”

“Well I wouldn’t be able to tell you if I’ve seen you before. You’re wearing a mask.” You laughed a bit as he chuckled.

Hope sparked a bit in your chest as you watched him awkwardly eat with his mask on lopsided. Maybe this was the start of a new friendship.

He didn’t know how the town hated you or how you were considered a curse to everyone.

Maybe he could be a friend...

You laughed at one of his jokes before tensing up. “Hey are you okay?” You turned giving him a small nod. The storm was here. It thundered heavily outside.

“Yeah thanks for tonight this was fun. I have a couch. You could stay here till the morning. Your wound should be healed by then.”

The next morning you woke up early to open your shop. You smiled sadly seeing the couch empty. He left...Which made sense, hopefully you’d see him again. It was nice talking to someone.

You gasped a bit seeing the front window of your store drawn on. Nothing new, every once in a while an arrogant group would come and draw something.

“WITCH!! GO BACK TO HELL!!”

Even the words weren’t something you hadn’t heard before. Sighing you went to the backroom to get your bucket and a rag to clean it. It saddened you a bit that some people were this idiotic. You hoped Vigilante didn’t see this before he left.

You sprayed down the window wetting the rag beginning to wipe it down. “Witch?” You jumped losing your footing on your step stool yelping out as you fell.

Before you could hit the floor you were caught, “I am so sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you!”

You glanced up seeing a man with glasses. He had brown hair and green eyes. He was cute, but he looked familiar. You smiled a bit having him set you down.

“Hi..You’re okay I shouldn’t have jumped.” You chuckled nervously before picking your rag up to continue cleaning.

“So if you don’t mind me asking why does your window says witch?” You chuckled a bit.

“Idiot people.” Adrian nodded before grabbing one of your rags.

“Would you like some help?” You shook your head.

“You don’t have too if you don’t want too. You probably shouldn’t stand too close to me honestly. If anyone sees you near me they might go for you next.” Adrian tilted his head.

“That’s stupid.”

“I know it is.” You sighed jumping off the stool.

“People staring doesn’t scare me. Do you know who did this?” You shook your head.

“No..if you wanna stay and help can I know your name?”

“Oh! I’m Adrian.”

“Nice to meet you Adrian. You can just call me Y/N.”

“Y/N...that’s a really pretty name..” You cracked a small smile.

“Thanks not a lot of people think so well you can tell that from my window.” You laughed nervously. He was cute, but still seemed familiar.

“So are you new here?” You shook your head.

“No I’ve been here for practically my entire life. Well except my senior year of high school I lived with my aunt for a while back in Gotham. I had to..”

“Why?” You shook your head. “Not important.”

Adrian gave you a small look as he scrubbed the witch part. “So did you just wake up and see this?” You nodded.

“Yeah I’m kinda use to it..”

“You shouldn’t be.”

“I know, but what can I do. I’ve tried the police. Until they catch them in the act, there’s nothing I can do.” Adrian hummed before smiling.

“Don’t worry then they’ll eventually get what’s coming to them.” You nodded.

“I know. Karma is a good friend of mine.” Adrian smiled helping you off the step stool.

“Well come on by anytime you like in my store.I sell all sorts of books. Even comic books. Since you helped I’ll give you twenty five percent discount.”

You walked in not noticing how Adrian shot an almost lovestruck look to you. Fuck you were beautiful.

“Okay...” He mumbled out quietly as you flipped your sign to open. Adrian knew he wanted to get to know you so from there on, he bought a book from your shop almost everyday.

He said the occasional hello to you, but would grow to nervous to have a full blown conversation. Chris had been the one to push him into actually talking to you.

“Dude why are we here?”

“It’s a cool store, plus I wanna buy a new..recipe book!”

“You don’t cook..”

“I wanna learn! Tired of eating fast food and microwaveable shit!” Chris hummed before seeing you at the front.

You had been stirring your spoon in your mug as you read.

“Why does she look familiar?..” Adrian shrugged.

“I don’t know I saw it too.” Chris smirked a bit.

“She’s cute though. In a nerdy book worm kinda way.” Adrian scoffed.

“Dude she’s fucking beautiful..” Chris shot him a small look smiling as it clicked.

“Is this why you have a shit ton of books in your place?” Adrian quickly turned to him shaking his head.

“No that’d be stupid buying a book just so a girl can talk to me.”

“Have you talked to her?” Adrian shook his head.

“Well once. I helped her clean her window. Some jerks vandalized it.She also met me before not as me though as Vigilante..She’s really nice..” Chris nodded as you looked up spotting Adrian.

You smiled giving him a small wave.

Adrian smiled waving back excitedly. Chris smirked. “Dude don’t be a pussy and ask her out.”

“No! She won’t want that.”

“How do you know? She’s still smiling at you.”

“Is she really?!” Adrian looked up only to see you helping another customer. “Liar.”

“Pussy.”

“Here I got my book let’s go.”

“Sup Adrian another book? I thought the comic book you bought yesterday would hold you over.” He shrugged.

“I wanna learn how to cook.” You hummed ringing him up.

“He’s never cooked before.” You looked up seeing Chris.

“Sorry nice to meet you. He dragged me here for him. I’m Chris.” Adrian glared at him as Chris winked at you.

“Nice to meet you Chris.” Adrian nodded.

“Yeah any new books coming in?” He wanted your attention back.

“Oh yeah I have some coming in tomorrow morning.”

“Do you need any help bringing them in?” Chris asked you flirtatiously.

“No I’ll be alright-”

“You sure? A pretty lady like yourself shouldn’t have to carry in heavy boxes all alone?” You tilted your head confused by his advances.

Adrian elbowed him angrily. “Dude.” You smiled a bit seeing Adrian grow a bit angry. You had a small inkling he liked you, but never really dug into it knowing it was probably not true.

“I’m just saying I got things to do tomorrow, but Adrian can help you.”

“What?” You both said surprised.

“Yeah wait you thought I wanted to help? No. I can’t, but Adrian can help you carry the heavy boxes in.” You took a small glance at Adrian smiling.

“Can you Adrian? I’d really appreciate it ?” Usually you’d used your magic to carry it all in, but this would give you an excuse to spend time with Adrian.

You wanted to be his friend so bad. You were lonely. He just didn’t seem interested in talking to you.

“Can you Adrian?” You batted your eyelashes not knowing how just that simple action had him wanting to kiss you.

“Yeah! I can! I’ll come by tomorrow morning?” You nodded.

“Thanks. Cook book is free.”

“No let me pay-”

“You’re helping me tomorrow and bringing me some of your leftovers from your home cooked meal tonight.”

Adrian nodded. “Will do..” You smiled handing him the book as they walked out. He couldn’t keep the smile off of his face.

“Welcome.” Chris laughed as Adrian cheered.

Adrian got there a full hour before you had told him too. “Hey you’re early?” He nodded.

“I made you breakfast!” Adrian handed you a breakfast sandwich.

“Oh thanks! Come on in.” You both sat waiting for the truck to come as you ate.

“Thanks for the breakfast Adrian.” He nodded staring at you in awe.

“Yeah I’ll make you food anytime you want.” You were about to reply before hearing your door open. The shipment had arrived.

Thanks to the rumors about you. The mailman was too scared to approach you so he left the your boxes inside before running out.

“Okay well here they are. Help me bring them to the back?” Adrian nodded taking a box effortlessly carrying it.

“Woah these are a bit heavy. You do this by yourself.” You nodded struggling to actually carry it. Magic came in handy at a time like this, but you didn’t want Adrian to see. It would scare him away.

Adrian shook his head taking the box from you. “I got it.”

“No I usually do it-”

“Nah I can see you struggling. Here just take a seat and relax I got it.” Adrian smiled sitting you down.

You smiled a bit flustered at him carrying the boxes effortlessly. “Thank you..” Your friendship evolved from there.

Anytime you got a new order, Adrian was quick to show up to carry them all for you. You liked him. You grew attached to him and started having him come over anytime he could just to spend time with him.

One night though things changed. “So you said you moved in your senior year right?” You nodded cleaning your shop windows with him.

Someone had vandalized them again. It was the same people.

“Can I finally ask why?” You sighed.

“Well..I guess I can tell you. You are my best friend.”

“I am?” You smiled laughing a bit.

“Adrian you’re the only one in town who’s not scared of me and you’re the only one who’s actually nice to me..Of course you’re my only friend.” His heart swelled at your confession.

“So what happened back then?”

“Promise not to laugh?”

“I promise.”

“I had this huge crush on this guy in high school. He was crazy in a good way..I don’t know he made me feel normal which was hard when half the town hates you. His older brother found out though and began to relentlessly tease me. It got to the point where his friends began to push me in the hallways. Well all except his brother and this other guy, but he began to blackmail me saying he’d tell his brother how the weird girl liked him, so I packed up and ran away.”

Adrian nodded looking down in thought. “Do you remember their names?” You nodded.

“The older one yeah. I think I just blocked out the guy I liked knowing it probably would never happen.” You sighed jumping off your step stool grabbing the hose.

The truth was you casted a spell on yourself wanting to forget all about the crazy boy you had fallen for in high school.

“I got it.” Adrian took the hose from you watering it down as you sighed in exhaustion. “Thanks Adrian..It was very kind of you to help.” You smiled seeing your clean window. You patted his shoulder going inside.

“Wait what his older brother’s name?” You tilted your head in confusion.

“Um why does it matter it was long ago?”

“I’m curious.” Adrian shrugged his shoulders trying not to seem to intrigued.

In reality, he wanted to know if he stood a chance with you. Was this guy better than him?

“Gut Chase.”

“What?!” You jumped hearing his surprise yell. You nodded.

“Uh yeah. Gut Chase. His younger brother was the guy I was crazy for, but I don’t think he even knew I existed.” You smiled as you walked upstairs to your kitchen to make you both some tea.

Adrian followed you upstairs. “So you really don’t remember his younger brother? Who you had a thing for?!” You shook your head.

“Again I think I wanted to forget. It was dumb of me to run, but I was scared. He’d think I was weird and probably would’ve joined them in making fun of me and that would’ve hurt me more than his brother pushing me around.”

“I wouldn’t have!!”

“What?”

“Nothing! I gotta go.” Adrian smiled at you running out as you tilted your head in confusion.

“Adrian-” He left not giving you a chance to speak. He didn’t reach out to you for a bit after.

It had been four days since you last heard from him. You were getting worried to be honest. You sighed as you swept your floors looking at the clock. Closing time was just around the corner.

“Thank God it’s Friday..” Just another ten minutes and you can close. You cheered a bit before holding back a curse as you heard the door open.

“Hi welcome to my book shop. We’re closing soon if you’d like to come back tomorrow-” You stopped yourself hearing the door lock.

It was a group of men. “Hey..” The leader said to you approaching you. You gripped your broom handle.

“Gentlemen..I’m closing in five minutes. I need you all to leave.” You took a step back as they all approached. They began to circle you as you shook a bit scared.

“We don’t wanna buy anything. We’re here for you.”

“Oh..How can I help?” They laughed as you shook a bit nervously.

“You’re the witch right?” One of them barked out laughing as you glared at him.

“The rumors you mean...and what if I was?”

“Did you like our work on your window?”

“So it was you guys..I’ve been wondering who’s been too coward to approach me.”

“Well we’re here now.” You shrugged.

“Took you long enough.” One of them laughed pulling out a small bottle.

“We have to burn the witch..” Your eyes widened realizing what they planned on doing.

“No!” You flicked your wrist sending him flying across the room as he opened the bottle.

He groaned as the other four looked at you in shock. “Fuck you guys.” The leader glared before racing towards you. You used your magic sending things flying to them before screaming out as one of them grabbed you from behind.

Your eyes turned red as you began to feel overwhelmed. “Get off of me!”

“GET THE BOTTLE!” Three of them held you as one of them grabbed the bottle laughing as you struggled.

“I said get off!!” You screamed out sending them all flying.

“Fuck you!! Mother fuckers!” Your throat burned as you screeched out causing a small explosion pushing all of them to the wall. You panted trying to control yourself.

A black light came from your hands. This was the demon side of you. You usually did a good job hiding this.

“Fuck!” You screamed out panting as you tried to calm yourself the men struggled as you cried a bit angrily.

“YOU COULDN”T JUST FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE!! I’VE DONE NOTHING TO YOU FUCKING PEOPLE!!” You began to choke them. They cried out in pain as you snapped there legs.

“Mother fuckers!!!” The one you had thrown earlier stood up running to you before screaming.

You turned to him seeing Vigilante standing there. He shot him before shooting the other four you had pinned to the wall.

You looked at him in shock as he turned to you ripping his mask off. “Y/N you okay?” You grew teary eyed.

The room and light began to shake and flicker. “Y/N?” You looked up shaking your head.

“No! No! Adrian you need to get out of here!” You lowered your hands struggling to stop.

“No I’m not going anywhere.Are you okay?”

“Adrian please go I don’t wanna hurt you!!”

“It’s okay you won’t hurt me!”

“No Adrian I can’t control it right now-”

“I know you won’t hurt me.” He smiled approaching you.

“You could never hurt me Y/N.”

You tried to move away before stopping as he stood in front of you. “Come on let’s calm down together.” You took a shaky breath.

“Together breath with me.” You cried as he got you to calm down. Adrian pulled you into a hug letting you cry into him for as long as you needed.

The room stopped shaking and the lights went back to normal after a good fifteen minutes. Adrian smiled seeing your eyes back to their usual color.

“There we go..See you didn’t hurt me..” You stood silent hiding your face.

“I’m sorry.” He shook his head.

“No it’s okay-”

“No I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the rumors being true..I struggle to control it sometimes..” He nodded.

“It’s okay I’ve been hiding secrets from you too.”

“I knew you were Vigilante.”

“Wait you knew!?”

“You don’t exactly hide it well. I hid a tiger’s eye on you for good luck.” He looked down in shock as you laughed.

“So who were these guys?”

“The ones vandalizing my window.” He shook his head.

“I’m glad I fucking shot them.” You smiled a bit looking back at Adrian.

“Why did you leave me?” He looked at you confused. “What?”

“You left me Adrian..why?” Adrian went quiet which you knew was weird. He’s never quiet.

“My full name is Adrian Chase.” Your eyes widened a bit as you moved away.

“Wait wait!”

“Oh my god!”

“I know what you’re thinking! And I didn’t leave because of you. I left because I needed to think.” You sighed looking away.

“Y/N I adore you.”

“You do?” He nodded.

“If I knew who you were back then I would’ve dated the shit outta you!”

“Adrian?!”

“It’s true! You’re like ten times out of my league. Well maybe this works out, because I didn’t hit puberty till my mid twenties and if I could I’d go back in time and tell myself to talk to you, but you didn’t exactly remember me. And you did end up being a witch which is awesome by the way. I highkey found it so hot how you held those guys against the wall about to kill them-”

“I love you.” You interrupted him.

“I loved you back then even though you didn’t know me, but I did. When I left it hurt so I casted a spell on myself to forget you. I understand if you don’t feel the same. Heck you ran away from me for a bit and you now know I am the monster everyone paints me as-”

“Shut up.” Adrian pulled you to him kissing you roughly. You squeaked as he cradled your face.

“I feel the same. I ran because I was in shock hearing that it was my piece of shit brother who made you run away. No girl ever likes me and you did..You liked me..and I was too dumb to notice you back then..” You laughed as he kissed you again.

“I don’t care you’re a witch. I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you. I just want you to be with me.” You smiled.

“You really don’t care that I can kill someone with the flick of my hand.” You showed him your magic in your hands. Adrian looked at it in awe.

“So fucking cool..Why would I ever care about that?” You grinned kissing Adrian.

Things would be okay. Who cares about the town that hated and shunned you. As long as you had Adrian...nothing else mattered.
