It was a couple of hours after, what Tim called a successful mission. Although the others seem a little gloomy for it. He doesn't know exactly why, but he's got a suspicion it's got something to do with Miss Martin. He gets the feeling he's missing something really big. Tim knows about Aqualad double agent thing, even though Dick tried his hardest to convince him otherwise.

Either way he was glad they made it out alive, glad SHE was still alive.

It was risky and Tim knew it, but they had no choice in the matter. He glance away from their little family meeting and looked over at Steph. He wince behind his glasses and looked back. Yep. She was mad.

It wasn't as if he purposely put her in danger. He had no idea that she was among the captive people and by the time he found out it was too late. Beside, they had everything under control...for the most part anyways.

"I'll take her home." Tim spoke for the first time sens the mission started. He wasn't as talkative during missions like this.

Barbra smiled. "Alright. Be careful."

"Wait. We should split up and walk all of them home. We-." Dick started.

"-Can handle it by ourself." Barbra interrupted, placing a hand on Dick's arm.

Dick sigh. "Stay whelmed little brother."

Tim nodded and walked away from his little family. He was kinda dreading talking to Stephanie after what he put her though, but he knew he after to face her sooner or later. She was his girlfriend after all.

"Come on Miss. I'll take you home." He said offering the blonde his arm.

Steph raise an eyebrow. "Miss?"

Tim place a finger on his lips. "Later." He whisper, as she took his arm.

Stephanie rolled her eyes and they were on their way. When they got far enough away from the rest of the team, she stopped suddenly and unhook her arm from Tim's rather harshly. She then proceed to hit him.

"Ow- Steph! Stop! Ow! Ok!" He grabbed her arms firmly. "That's enough."

"Oh NOW you decided to acknowledged me?" She huffed, pulling away from his grip and crossed he arms over her chest.

Tim sigh and rub his temple. He was so not in the mood for this. "I'm sorry I put you in danger Steph. I-"

"Me?" Steph cut him off and got, a little too close to his face. "You think I was worried about myself? How shallow do you think I am Tim?" She asked with a big pout.

This caught him off guard. How was he supposed to answer that that without getting smack. "I..Well I uh...Not very?" He answered with uncertainty.

Stephanie sigh deeply. She reach over to him. She can practically see him flinch a little and rolled her eyes. Really. He's a crime fighting superhero and he's afraid of her? "Relax. I'm not going to hit you anymore." She reach to his shade and took them off.

"You look like the freaken Terminator with those on." She mumbled, looking to his blue eyes that she loved so much. "I was worried about you Timmy." She use her free hand to careless his cheek a little. "You could have died out there. If something happens to you..." She tails off.

Tim was silent for a long while. So that was it...He really doesn't know anything about women... Maybe he really should ask Dick about girls...

"I won't die." He looked deep into Steph's eyes. "I swear to you Steph I will not die." He said with a serious look.

Stephanie blinked a little before bursting out laughing. "You are unbelievable you know that?" She giggled.

Tim frown. "What's that-mmmm." He was interrupted by a pair of warm lips to his own.

Steph broke the kiss after a few seconds.

"Wh...What's that for?" Tim strutted, his face VERY flushed.

"For being you. Now come on." She grabbed his hand and pulled him to her house. "I'm in the mood for some waffles."

Tim tugged along still very much confused. Women. That is the one subject he could never get no what how many hours he spend researching them.
