She loved him. Well, at least she thought she did. She'd never had a friend like him, she'd never been in love, and she'd never ever expected to fall in love. But he was so perfect; almost like it was in his nature.

But there he was, laughing with that black haired girl; flirting with her! And she was accepting it! Falling in love with him! Did she know? Did that...girl know his secrets as well as she did?

Did he flirt with every pretty girl that came his way? Artemis, that girl, and her; Barbara Gordon?

But then again, maybe the relationship she thought they had was false. Just like all the stories he had told her at first about his scars? Just like the stories about his disappearances?

That's what the relationship was. It never was, never will be.

Did he care? Did he have no shame? Did he see her?

Oh no. He, the mighty boy wonder, had everybody, including her, fooled.

Then the black haired girl smirked at something he said, and moved past Barbara.

'Look,' She thought. 'Here she comes. We better bow down and stare at her.'

But if Barbara's relationship with Dick Grayson was false than so was that girls. And their relationship was never there. Would never be there at all.

And to some extent that satisfied Barbara.

But...he had...betrayed...her. He had fooled her. With his identity, with those scars, with his flirting. No, he had everybody fooled.

She was fooled.

But without the mask...he had nowhere to hide...

What if she told him...she knew?

What if she told him she saw through his lies?

She knew the truth. Would that change things?

She knew who he was. Would that change things?

No, none of that would change things.

She didn't love him anymore.

Because it never was a relationship, never would be a relationship. He had betrayed her. He had everybody fooled.

She moved away, tears in her eyes.

'Why are you crying?' She wondered. 'It never was. Never would be. He isn't real. And he can't save me.'

And as she walks by him, holding in tears, and he looks at her, completely clueless, she can't help but think, 'Now you're everybody's fool.'
