This is my first fan fiction so please review. I do not own any of these characters; they are the property of DC Comics.
The cool, crisp air felt good after the long hot day. Batgirl sat on the rooftop enjoying the peaceful night. It had been relatively quiet these past few nights. She and Robin enjoyed it while batman believed it was the calm before the storm. After batman's rounds were finished Alfred had talked him into staying in for the rest of the night. He agreed once we promised that we would call if anything came up. Batgirl slowly stood up from the spot she had been perched. She stared out over the vast city as she heard footsteps fall behind her.
"You should be quieter when sneaking up on someone" she said not turning around.
"I wasn't trying to be quiet, I uh…didn't want to scare you" replied robin.
He was trying so hard to fill the shoes of …Dick. She hated thinking about him. It had been two years since he had suddenly left Gothom. Since the fight on the rooftop after they had captured the Joker, after they had found out each others secrets.
"Every things quiet tonight" robin said disappointedly, interrupting her thoughts.
"Ya, it is" she wasn't paying attention, her thoughts were somewhere else. She was million miles away.
"Do you think Bruce is disappointed in me because I keep failing the danger room simulation?"
Batgirl looked over at him. He had his head bowed down and he was kicking at some pebbles on the ground, just like Dick she thought.
She gave him a sympathetic smile and placed an arm around his shoulders.
"He's just worried that something might happen to you and he can't bear the thought of losing you. You are an amazing kid, you do so much and we are so proud of how far you have come. We could never be disappointed in you."
He lifted his head to look at her. Giving her a lopsided grin he said, "I'll race you home."
He shot his cable and flew out into the night sky, laughing she joined him.
Neither of them saw the shadow watching them from the corner, listening to them and then disappears into the night.
