Wayne Manor, 6:30
Omniscient Dick's View
"I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away. Losing my faith today. Falling off the edge today. I am just a man, not a super human"
Dick groggily rubbed away the sleep in his eyes, to slam a fist into his alarm clock. "Master Dick, Ms. Gordon is here early. Shall I invite her in?" Alfred poked his head through the sleeping teenager's door. "Master Dick, if you do not get up now. I will talk to Master Bruce about giving you another hour of patrol tonight." Dick shot up from his bed, and started scrambling around his room, searching under piles of clothing for his Gotham Academy uniform, as Alfred closed the door behind him. "Damn it" Dick muttered under his breath, pushing over a chair to examine the clothes under it. Then picking up the parts of uniform that he could find, he made his way to the bathroom clenching his iPod in his free hand. He had to block out the silence that the manor constantly provided.
A few minutes later, Dick finished gelling his hair to perfection, and loosened his tie enough to keep the bad boy image, that he was trying to maintain. It seemed to work on every girl in school, except for Barbara Gordon, his long time best friend. As Dick let the music fade out in the back round, due to the loss of his iPod charger, he sprayed himself from top to bottom, with his favourite cologne and took one last look in the mirror examining himself. Finally he opened his door, only to be greeted by the red head herself sprawled out on his bed, twirling his iPod charger around her nimble fingers, with a large smirk on her face. "Looking for this?" She turned her head in his direction and winked. "I knew I left it somewhere…" He muttered walking towards the edge of the bed. Barbara came closer to his spot and stood up to her knee's so she could meet him eye to eye. "If you didn't know, you left it at my house, and that's what you get for storming off so suddenly. Maybe if you actually stayed for a full session of tutoring, you'd actually pass." The red head smirked at dick, and reached over to fix his tie. Dick tossed the charger on the bed and grabbed at Barbara's wrists enabling her from fixing his tie. "Babs, I know you hate the tie thing, but all the other girl's dig it." He winked at her as she pushed Grayson away and headed for the door. "Just for that, you can walk to school." Barbara closed the door behind her, as Dick quickly grabbed his bag and ran after her.
Gotham Central Academy
7:45
Barbara Gordon, tossed the car keys to Dick and grabbed her books out of the car. "Hey you got pockets today, you carry them." She looked down at her outfit, white collared shirt, navy and red sweater vest, red tie and a plaid skirt. "Ah I guess you're right." Dick said pushing the keys into his pants pocket. "So Babs," he started, putting his arm around her shoulder playfully, "I was wondering if you could hold off my tutoring sessions on Wednesdays for the next couple months?" Barbara spun around and shrug out of his grip. "What's the deal Dick? You never even stay for full sessions, but you never give me an excuse why. Is there some secret tutor I don't know about?" She hid her smile as she opened her locker to grab her English book. "Hey, hey, hey, her name is Jessica and.." Dick leaned against his locker waiting for her response. Barbara closed her locker to look at him stretched out against his own, smiling. "You better be joking Grayson, or you would have lost your best friend." He opened his locker and hung up his blazer. "Of course I'm kidding, Babs you're irreplaceable. And believe me I've tried." She playfully hit him across the arm, and was about to add another line when the warning bell rang. "Well," Dick said, "Saved by the bell." Dick made his way down the hall only to turn around and pull his shades on and throw a cocky grin at her, "I'll talk to you at lunch."
Room 2004,
Mrs. Thompson's English Class, 8:10
(Babs view, Omniscient)
Barbara nervously tucked a loose strand of her curly red hair behind her ear as Mrs. Thompson checked down the list of people, who already presented their scene written analysis of Romeo and Juliet. "Alright, Breanna Adrian, Austin Creeps, Nicolas Deck-Heart, Ryan Fallout, Jayme Guess, and ah Barbara Gordon." Barbara bit on her lip nervously. "Miss. Gordon, I believe you haven't presented yet, please come up and give yours." Mrs. Thompson took a sip of her coffee and leaned back into her chair, eyeing Barbara. Nervously, she made her way up to the front of the class, clenching her 8 sheets of paper that she hoped would make sense reading out loud, even though she spent all of 1 and a half hours last night working on. "Alright so, the scene I analyzed from the play Romeo and Juliet," she started. "was the famous balcony scene at the Capulet's orchard.." Barbara focused on her paper even though she could feel the eyes of her classmates boring into her. "um, the whole scene is basically about, Romeo, confessing his love for Juliet, and er…I find it kind of shallow in a way, how they don't really know anything about each other…they just claim these things, based upon their looks…" Barbara looked over to Mrs. Thompson nervously, hoping she'd tell her to stop, but instead she imposed a question upon her, "So Barbara, are you telling me that, if say, you saw your favourite hero." Barbara bit her lip nervously "Robin" she whispered in the back of her mind. "Was to ask you out, or say he's taken with you, you wouldn't oblige to such an offer?" Mrs. Thompson raised an eyebrow at her, and than stood up to address the class. "Alright Miss Gordon, that's enough for today."
Barbara placed the papers on her teachers desk and walked to her seat. "Now class, Miss Gordon raised a very interesting point on the shallow behaviour that encountered between these two 'star crossed lovers' and personally, I'd like to hear your opinion. Or how you react in situations such as that." Mrs Thompson was cut off by the first period dismissal bell. "I want a 2 page answer and opinion to Miss Gordon's theory on my desk by tomorrow morning, you're dismissed." The class groaned and rushed for their books and headed out of the class room muttering "Nice job Gordon." and throwing the odd crumpled piece of paper at her. Barbara stood up collecting her books, and walked towards the door only to see Dick casually leaning against the frame waiting for her. Dick purposely nudged one of the Jocks that threw something at her on his way out, causing the guy to trip and land on his face.
"Aha, Now Grayson, I know you did not just push me." The Jock stood up dusting his uniform pants off. "Because, I'm pretty sure, that you're one of the cool junior's here." Dick straightened himself out from leaning on the door frame, to meet the Jock's stance, except with his arms crossed across his chest. "And what if I did?" Dick tipped his shades to eye him from top to bottom. "Listen Dick, I'm gonna let you off this time, because I know you're joking." The Jock turned around to walk away. "But I'm not." Dick yelled out after him and a smile spread across his face. "Grayson, don't make me beat you up. This would be stupid, especially over grade grubbing Gordon over there." He looked over at Barbara and wrinkled his nose. Dick clenched his fists, than took his sunglasses off clipping them onto his shirt and walked calmly over to the jock. "You're right man I'm sorry, I don't know what got over me." Dick stuck his left hand out to shake, while Barbara stood over by the lockers stunned. "Haha, I thought so Grayson." The jock stuck his hand out to shake Dick's, and right as their hands made contact, Dick swung his other fist around and punched him square in the jaw, leaving the jock on the floor clenching his jaw.
The audience of teens gathered in the hallway on their way to classes, all stood around in awe, and a chorus of gasps occurred once they saw the jock stand up to spit out a tooth and blood into a trash can. Immediately Barbara let her instincts sink in as she grabbed Dick's arm that was ready to hit again and pulled him down an empty hallway, hoping to keep Dick from getting into a bigger fight.
First Floor Girls Bathroom
9:45 a.m (Omniscient)
"Hold still you idiot." Babs continued dabbing the bloody gash Dick had on his fist from punching that boy. Dick hissed under his breath "Firstly, I'm not an idiot, I was sticking up for you Babs. And secondly, you should have let me finish him off." Dick's grip on Barbara's hand became harder as he squeezed his fist in anger. "Shit," Barbara muttered pulling her hand away. "You need to calm down." She searched around in her backpack for Polyporin (a/n for those who don't know, it's just basically an anti - infection cream). "Babs, you don't need to do this, just let me go…and I promise I'll go to class like a good little boy, and I won't harm a little hair on his head." Dick got up to leave until she grabbed onto his wrist and dragged him back to the counter. "When did you get so strong?" Dick muttered jumping back up onto the counter, and sticking his hand out for her to fix. "Since I've been friends with you since we were 8, you've always been rough Grayson, and I've just learned to fight back." Barbara smiled up at him. "Ow, ow, ow…gentle please.." Dick squinted his eyes together in pain. "Oh yeah…I forgot to mention that it was going to sting a bit…" She tried to hide a smile under her red hair. "Alright, you got your pay back, are we good now?" Barbara wrapped up his hand in some medical tape and placed his hand back down on his lap. "I suppose so, as long as you promise to let me fight my own battles." Dick hopped off the counter, and huffed in the process. "Fine… But you letting dick's like him, push you around, doesn't make it any easier for me." Babs closed up her bag and pulled in Dick for a hug, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Dick…thank you, I know you mean well, but I'm a big girl, I can handle myself." Dick returned Babs' hug, and rested his head down in her hair. "I know you can, but it doesn't mean I don't still worry about you." Babs loosened up the hug a bit to look up at him. "I worry about you too…that's why I don't want you to beat people up for me anymore. No matter how idiotic they are. You aren't Batman, Dick…You could get hurt." Dick chuckled, and pulled away from the hug to pick up her backpack and drape it over his shoulder. "You're right, I'm not…" Dick smiled. "I'm better, Come on let's get you to class."
Gordon Residence
15:00 p.m
"Hello? Earth to Grayson…" I asked you a question. Dick opened his eyes only to find his very annoyed best friend poking him with a pencil. "What? Huhh?" Dick groaned picking his head up off the table and snatching the pencil from Babs' hand and snapping it. "Geez, Mister Cranky pants, who peed in your cereal?" Dick pulled out his iPhone to check the time. "Oh shit, Err, nothing's wrong Babs I swear…Um I told Alfred I'd go home and help him with something, I'll call you later!" Dick started scrambling around the room for books and loose paper, than made his way out the door. "Okay…bye Dick." She said into the empty house.
Wayne Manor
16:00 P.M (Dick's P.O.V, Omniscient)
"You know one day, She's going to get fed up with me leaving all the time, and just stop talking to me. I'm surprised she even puts up with it now." Dick thought out loud as he entered the bat cave and made his way down the stairs. Dick reached into his pocket as pulled out his team communicator, and checked his messages. "Shit" he said out loud. One missed video Call from : Kid Flash (Wally West). As Dick started pulling out his uniform he played the message. "Yo, Dick. Where are you? Because of you Bats is making us do an extra hour of training for each hour you miss! You do not wanna see Conner pissed off, get your rich white boy ass over here, before he kicks it! Love Wally." Dick laughed and started tugging on his uniform. Once he finished he strapped on his cape, sent a message to Wally saying that he was on his way, and then he mounted onto the Red Bird, and disappeared out of the Bat Cave.
