I really didn't have any plans to continue this story, just something to post to get out of my writer's block, but you guys convince me to come back and write more. Thanks for the reviews, fav and alerts. I have to warn you though this isn't a romance story.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Bruce check, double and triple checked Robin, but he couldn't find anything. There wasn't even a scar. That pink haired woman really did heal his son's wounds. Batman narrowed his eyes as no know person matched the description of the female on the bat computer. While most people wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, Batman wasn't one of them.
Truthfully if she didn't heal Robin, he'll would've been out for the new semester in school. That would've been bad.
"Sir, may I remind you that you have a board meeting at 9 tomorrow." Alfred said coming up beside him.
It was 4 am in the morning.
"I'll go when I finish this." Batman could feel the disproval radiating from his butler. Sighing, Bruce took off the cowl. "I'll be up soon." He said grudgingly. Most of the time he could ignore Alfred, but tonight he was rubbed raw with Dick getting shot and the bomb Selina dropped on him. Tonight was not his night.
"Very well sir." He disappeared up the stairs.
Bruce look longingly at the computer. But he knew he wouldn't find anything more on that pink haired woman tonight. He took off his uniform and followed his butler up the stairways.

"Moring Crook!" Artemis closed her locker and revealed Dick's smiling face.
"Morning, Grayson." Her greeting was less peppy than his. It wasn't like she didn't like the kid, but he could be pretty annoying.
"Aren't you excited that we have the same A.P. World History class?" Grayson asked as he fell into step with her.
"Thrilled." Was her deadpan answer as she wearily accepted that they were walking to class together. But that's okay. She had a rough night with Ollie and she didn't want to hear her "friends" annoying whiny voices.
He was blathering on about something, but she half paid attention to them as they move through the crowd of students mulling around. Everything was going fine until someone pushed Grayson down on the floor.
That someone was the baseball champ, Eric Smith. "Sorry Grayson, didn't see you there." His mocking voice said as he leered down at the younger teen. He looked like the typical bully, big and mean.
Grayson breathe through his nose and got up. "It's fine Eric. Accidents happen." His voice was calm, friendly even.
Eric frowned. He was waiting for a reaction that wasn't going to happen.
Artemis clenched her fist. She wanted to smash that asshat face into a locker, but Grayson wasn't reacting so she wasn't going to react either. He even started to walk away, but Eric wasn't haven't that.
"Don't turn your back on me gypsy!" He grabbed the younger boy's shoulder, but Artemis had enough of the bully.
"Leave him alone, Eric." She was in his face.
They were drawing a crowd.
"What are you going to do about it street trash?" he taunted.
The blond snarled; she was so punching him-
"What is going on here?" The voice cut through the violence like a knife.
Everyone paused, Artemis had her fist within an inch of Eric's face and Grayson had his hands on her shoulder like he was trying to stop her.
A woman with pink hair (how original) pushed through the crowd to stand in front of them. She was average height, but she made up for it with a death glare. "Anybody want to tell me what's going on here?" she repeated with her arms crossed.
Eric was the first one to snap out of his daze look. He moved away from the blond's fist and fixed his blazer. "Nothing, we were just having a little fun."
The woman narrowed her eyes. "What's your name?"
The baseball champ never missed a chance to boast his name, especially to a pretty face. "The name is Eric Smith." He gave a charming smile that always got him out of trouble.
The woman was not fazed. "Report to the principal office after school. This isn't up for debate." She added once she noticed that he was about to protest.
He grumbled but backed off.
"As for you two, you'll report to my office after school, room 209. This isn't a debate." She added again when she saw Artemis starting to protest.
The blond pressed her mouth into a thin line.
The teacher looked up at the crowd eyes cutting. "All of you go to class. This is not a show."
The students disbursed quickly, Dick and Artemis as well.
"That was wonderful." Even though Grayson said it to be funny and sarcastic, it kinda came out bitter. The blond had to agree with the kid as they step into their class, the bell ringing. They hurried into the last two remaining desk which was far away from each other, thank God.
Artemis liked the kid, but he was a magnet for trouble.
"Good morning class." A sweet soft voice greeted them, causing Artemis to look up. She wasn't paying attention earlier when she stepped into class, but now that she was, she frowned. Who was this lady and where was Mr. Yates, the original teacher?
"My name is Ms. Hyuga and I'll be subbing for Mr. Yates. He broke his hip yesterday and won't be back for a while, but he was nice enough to leave a schedule of everything you're going to be learning this semester. "
There was some groans from that statement.
"I hope we all can get along and have a great semester together." She said while smiling.
Artemis had to admit the lady had a beautiful smile. It lit up her whole face. But what really stood out to the blond was her eyes. They were pale and had no pupils. At first she thought Ms. Hyuga was blind, but when she picked up the chalk and started writing down vocabulary words from the book, that observation went out the window.
Well now she knew why Mr. Yates wasn't here; he was one of her favorite teachers. She took one of his classes last year and he was pretty fun. Oh well. Ms. Hyuga seemed nice.

Bruce was going to kill him, Dick thought as he ate his homemade lunch of sandwiches that Alfred made. He was already in hot water from last night from being cocky, and now he had detention because of that morn Eric. Sighing, he sipped from his water bottle. Well at least school was almost over.
"What's got you looking so serious?"
Dick looked over to Barbara smiling face. She had a lunch try in her hands as she placed it on the table and sat down across from him.
"Bruce." He deadpanned.
"Ahh." She said, the word loaded with a lot of understanding.
"You could hide at my house." She suggested.
He smirked. "Yeah and make it worst? No thanks."
Barbara chuckled as she lifted some lasagna on her fork and ate it.
She made him feel better, she truly was one of his best friends. The bell rung, signaling that lunch was over. Barbara and Dick went their separate ways with promises to call each other later.
The young mathlete made his way to class with reluctance; it was one of those classes where it was a requirement to graduate high school. It was First Aid, something he already knew how to do with extra after school activities.
Well at least the class was going to be an easy A.
He entered into the classroom and sat down in the back row. He could sneak a couple of Zs in. The last bell rung as the teacher walked in. Dick felt his eyes widened as the pink haired woman from earlier stood in front of the class.
