Whispers in the Dark
Disclaimer: I do not own Babs or Dick. If I did, I would be a very happy person because I would make sure that Nightwing STAYED in bludhaven instead of moving to New York where almost all of the MARVEL superheroes hang out. I don't know about you but the possibilities of xovers and ego issues make my head spin. Also, I do not own Skillet or any of their awesome songs. I just own the CD.
Author's note: This takes place right after Killing Joke. I recently entertained the idea of Nightwing going to Barbara's place and comforting her in the middle of the night. While I thought of what Dick would say and how he would go about saying it, a song from Skillet began to play on my CD player, and this story was born. Again, I give full credit to the band for inspiring this, and any issues anyone may have of my posting this fic is therefore their OWN problem! Please forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes, for I am still searching for a beta.
Despite the lies that you make it
Your love id mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
She woke from another nightmare and turned toward the open window. He stood there. He said nothing. He didn't need to. She read everything in his bright blue eyes.
Despite the lies that you make it
Your love id mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
He looked into her emerald eyes. He saw her pain. No. He felt her pain. He was determined to make sure she never felt that pain ever again.
I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is a burning,
Consuming fire
She clutched him so tightly that she could feel the beating of his heart through the Kevlar on his chest. She felt him absorb her pain and hurt. Her body shook with tears and he held her close as he made a solemn vow.
No! You'll never be alone!
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
hear my whispers in the dark
He knew she thought he would leave her. Because she could no longer fly. Because she was no longer whole. He held her tighter as he continued his vow.
No! You'll never be alone!
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark.
Whispers in the dark!
