A.N.
Based on the song I've just seen a face from the Beatles, It's an awesome song, and perfect for Dick and Babs.
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
This was an awesome day for nine year old Barbra Gordon; this was the first day her Dad was letting her go to the police station with him while he worked. She was allowed to sit at his office desk and everything! She was just sharpening some pencils for him when she heard the faint sound of weeping flowing through the slightly open office door.
As any curious nine year old would do she decided to investigate the noise. Slowly she shimmied her way down the chair until her feet touched the murky gray carpet and crept out of the room. Peeping her head out of the door to check that the coast was clear she made her way down the hall towards the crying. She stopped at the door where the sound was emitting from, and almost cautiously she opened it.
She felt her heart break at the sight, inside was a small boy around her age with ebony hair a tan complexion, and red eyes overflowing with tears. But the most prominent thing of his appearance was a red and green leotard that was covered in blood. She slowly inched towards the boy.
"Hello" she said softly, yet the boy still jumped startled, He glanced up with a sniffle before dropping his head once more.
"Hi" was his quiet reply; she came over to the boy and placed her arms around him.
"Why are you crying?" she asked tilting her head to the left. Another sob came from the boy.
"Because my Mami and tati died." He sniffled again. Now Barbra wasn't sure what a tati was but knew what a mama was and held more tightly to the boy.
"I'm sorry…..my mommy died too, a long time ago." She said sadly not sure what else to say to the weeping boy. "But my daddy said that even though I can't see her she still loves me and is still there for me watching over me, and if your mommy and tati was as nice as mommy was I bet there doing the same thing for you." The crying quieted and the boy looked up eyes filled with hope.
"You really think so?" Barbra nodded vigorously and the boy's face lit up in a small, less pain filled smile. They both sat there enjoying each other's company until a voice called out down the hall.
"Barbra!" came Commissioner Gordon's slightly panic filled voice. Barbra stood up quickly causing the boy to look up at her confused.
"That's my daddy; I better go so he doesn't get worried." The boy's face fell but nodded slightly; Barb hugged him once more tightly and started walking towards the door. At the frame she turned back around once more.
"By the way I'm Barbra Gordon." The boy smiled and crossed over holding out his hand.
"Hi I'm Richard Grayson." She shook it.
"Well nice meeting you Dick." He smiled at the nickname.
"Nice meeting you too Babs." They both grinned at each other only breaking apart, when there was another panic filled shout of Barbra. Little did they know it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
