I'm back! I've had this idea of a grown up Dick and a great GF for a long time so I really wanted to write this out. I am not telling you Dick's GF's name b/c the Team doesn't know it and until they know it I will be keeping her name in the dark. READ ON!

It was late morning when Dick woke up to the smell of eggs and toast being made. He gave a slight smile and quickly headed towards the kitchen. He paused in the doorway and enjoyed the view.

His lovely girlfriend was wiggling back and forth, humming, as she added some salt and pepper to her eggs. She didn't know Dick was there and was enjoying herself immensely. Finally Dick couldn't stand it any longer, he walked over and grabbed her from behind making her scream.

"Dick!" She squealed, "You made me mess up my eggs!" She hit him with her whisk causing egg yolk to go all over his face.

"Here I am trying to be a good boyfriend and surprise his beautiful girlfriend, but what to I get? A kiss and a thank you? Nooooo, I get some egg in my face." Dick sarcastically said.

"Oh get over yourself, you know that I love you," She kissed his cheek but then scrunched her nose when she realized it was still covered in yolk. "On second thought…."

"Ooooh ouch!" Dick laughed. He wrapped his arms around her stomach and rested his chin on her shoulder. She leaned her head back and hummed in contentment.

"You really need to clean your face."

"Says the girl who caused the yolk-age," Dick pointed out. His girlfriend went and got a napkin and wiped his face for him. "Thanks babe."

"Anytime," She laughed.

"So what are our plans for today?"

"Well….I was thinking you could help me find a dress for Bruce's banquet that's coming up."

"Oh."

"Dick you know I want to meet him! He practically raised you!" She whined and kissed his cheek.

"I know," Dick sighed, "it's just I was so surprised when I got the invitation. I mean he hasn't even bothered to check up on me in the past four years!"

"He probably knew you wanted time to grow up and become your own person." She reasoned.

"So much for becoming my own person…" he laughed, "as soon as I came to Bludhaven I met you!"

"And thank goodness you did." She laughed. "I'm going to go get dressed. You can have these eggs, I already ate."

A few minutes later Dick saw the love of his life return wearing a flowy skirt and a tank top with one of her signature headbands. Dick had already changed and was in a simple flannel and cargo shorts. His style had become much lighter ever since he met his girlfriend.

They headed out of their apartment and started walking down the street. Dick put his arm around her shoulders and said something funny that made her laugh and throw her head back. They were obviously in love.

…...

All of this the newly reunited Team saw. They were extremely surprised about how much their little bird had changed. No longer was he the youngest on the team, he was a young man with a successful career and obviously successful love life. Dick seemed happy, they realized.

Although everyone wanted Dick home like crazy they now understood why he had not come back yet. He had a life and a good one at that. They realized that their mission to bring him home was futile because they knew Dick had found new home.

"We need talk to them," Wally thought, always the eager one.

"No," Kaldur responded calmly, "we will see them at Mr. Wayne's party."

"But-but we miss him," M'gann whispered.

"Let us go home," Kaldur commanded. The team turned away and began heading back to the bio-ship so they could return to the mountain.

So I hope that wasn't confusing. Review me and tell me what you think. The rest of the story is going to be about Dick and his girlfriend's relationship and their rebuilding of their relationship with Bruce. The team will also be a big thing.

PLEASE REVIEW!
