Babs.
I hope she is alright… Of course she is not alright! Get your act together Grayson!
"Recognized, Nightwing B01"
"Has anyone seen Batgirl?" Nightwing asked
"No, and we're really worried. We haven't seen her since the Commissioner…" Miss Martian answered
"I know… Well she is needed here. I am going to look for her if she comes back let me know" Nightwing said
"Sure thing" Mal answered
Gotham's Fight Club
There she is! I should have known better!
"Babs" Dick said with a tender voice
Barbara kept punching the punching bag without making a noise
"Look, Babs I know is hard…" Dick said and got interrupted by the sound of the punching bag breaking in half
Barbara turned around with a single tear running down her cheek
"H-how Dick? How do you make the pain go away?" Barbara asked
Dick just ran towards her and hugged her really tight
"You don't make the pain go away, you just fill the hole people leave behind" Dick says still holding her
"I don't believe I can" Barbara said
"I thought the same thing at first, every day at the manor I wanted to escape and run to the circus and somehow I thought they would magically be there waiting for me as if they never died." Dick explained
"What changed your mind?" Barbara asked
"Well it was one day before I became Robin, Zucco was still on the streets and I went to Gotham PD to try and recognize some suspects, none of them were familiar to me.
I was devastated I thought they will never going to catch Zucco; I was sitting alone waiting for Alfred to pick me up and then a kid about my age sat next to me and actually listened to me.
She gave me something I missed about the circus, a smile.
Then she said her name was Barbara and I started calling her Babs, she got mad of course but she came up with even a worse nickname for me 'Dickie' and then she laughed.
After that day I knew my heart wasn't empty anymore I had you inside in it" Dick said sincerely
Barbara just hugged him even tighter and started crying
Dick buried his face in her hair.
"It's okay to cry, I'm here for you" Dick said.
