TAKE A SHOT
POV OF BARBARA GORDON A.K.A BATGIRL
All I can remember about that night is Dick trying to save me. He really tried… he did. But the timing was just not right.
It was a normal patrol night with Dick (or Robin) in Gotham. I never really liked Gotham. I was always thinking of moving to metropolis or somewhere else. Anyways, Robin and I were walking down a street (I don't remember which one) when we saw a robbery in a bank.
It was something that Dick and I were used to; fight the criminals, put them in jail, go to school and start this over.
As we were kicking some ass, I heard a shot. I don't know how much time passed, but it looked like a century to me. I was lying on the cold floor, Dick was beside me and he was whispering things like ''everything is going to be fine, Barbara. Don't let me alone. Stay with me, '' and etc. I felt weaker and weaker. I wanted to sleep, and finish with this. But Dick wouldn't have let me. Just by the way he was calling me I knew, I thought, I wouldn't make it.
''Babs, cried Dick, don't let me here alone. I need you. ''
Dick was trying to rescue me. But he looked weaker than I was.
''Babs… I guess it's the time for me to tell you. Barbara Gordon… I think I lo… ''
Yes… Yes I stopped Dick in is love speech. But it wasn't a goodbye. I couldn't have the courage to tell him that… I was madly in love with him. I took all the energy I had left and I passed my hand on is cheek.
''Richard… This isn't the time for goodbye. *cough* ''.
My eyes were closing. I was dying. Dick was crying. My heart stopped beating.
