Nightwing POV
After what only seemed like seconds since my eyes closed I could feel a slight nudging and two voices calling my name.
"Nightwing!"
Eyes alert and focusing on the room I remember where I am and who's currently occupying my arms, I stare down at Babs to check I hadn't startled her awake - no she's still asleep.
Turning my attention forward I notice Tim and Zatanna both staring at me and Babs with huge grins on their faces, feeling embarrassed that I had to be woken up I murmur a quiet "Hi".
"Welcome back to reality Nightwing" Tim smirks
"Nightwing, would you mind moving Batgirl to one of the beds please? I can get better access to her then?"
Giving a quick nod to Zatanna I move and place Babs down onto the nearest bed, anxiously Tim and I watch as Zatanna casts a spell to analyze what Babs has been put under. After a few minutes Zatanna sighs and looks towards us whilst explaining...
"There's nothing I can do to reverse this boys, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until it wears off, it shouldn't last any more than a week. I've got to leave but if you need anything or if anything serious happens don't hesitate to contact me."
Tim and I both reply at once "Thanks Zatanna"
A week! Babs is going to be stuck like this for a week and oh fudge! what are we going to do about the commissioner?! We can't tell him his daughters Batgirl and now she's de-aged for a week! I wonder - I'm cut off from my inner turmoil by Tim turning to me after surveying Babs on the Medical Bed saying "Nightwing, you do realize she's going to have to stay with us right? I hope Bruce and Alfred don't mind."
"I'm sure Bruce will be fine with it Tim and Alfred will probably love having a small child around for once." Even though I'm trying my best to reassure him I have no doubt that Tim can see the panic in my eyes.
Just as we're about to develop a plan of action a small yawn distracts us causing our attention to turn towards the bed.
Babs POV
Waking up from my second nap I can't help but notice how cold it is, pulling the sheet tighter around me I look around the room before my eyes settle on the two sort of familiar figures in front of me. This sheet is useless I'm still freezing! Frowning to myself I turn towards Nightwing and Robin and announce to them "I'm cold."
Seemingly having just realized I only had this sheet thing to keep me warm the two boys looked at each other before gazing back at me, Robin is the first to speak "I'll go talk to Bruce and make sure a guest room is set up, you go take her shopping for some clothes and toys."
"Alright" Nightwing answers before coming towards me and holding up his arms again, without hesitation I return the gesture and am pulled into the warm chest - this should keep me a bit warmer!
As Nightwing starts walking out of the room we move down a corridor of many different doors all with different names on them, we enter the one named 'Nightwing' and I curiously look around at the new area.
Hearing Nightwing call my name I lean back slightly and look at his face.
"Barbara we need to get you some clothes and toys, I need to go change quickly in the bathroom, can you stay here on this sofa for me please?" he says softly
Finding my voice I give him an answer "Okay"
After giving me a brief smile Nightwing grabs a pile of clothes from on top of a dresser and moves towards his bathroom - hopefully he won't take too long. Looking around at the room I notice a picture on the bedside table of Nightwing (with no mask) and a red haired girl - hey she has red hair like me!
Returning from the bathroom fully changed and without a mask Nightwing looks towards me before heading back to his dresser and pulling out a black jumper with a yellow logo on the front.
"This will be big on you Babs but it's better than the cape"
Oh so the sheet thing is a cape? As he hands me the jumper I pull it over my head but struggle to get my arms through the correct hole, noticing my problem Nightwing gives a light laugh then moves to help me, once I'm properly in the jumper I can't help but notice how warm it is! After hugging myself I look towards Nightwing who's staring at me with a funny look, before he even makes the gesture I raise my arms towards him and I'm quickly removed from the sofa and back into the warm arms again.
"Ready to go?" he asks
I nod my head and smile at him in response, causing him to smile back at me as we start to leave his room and head back down the corridor, as we reach the end it opens into a bigger space which looks like a lounge, in the far back corner is some big, flashy metal machine. I can't help but notice this is the direction were moving in and before I can protest Nightwing quiets me by saying "It won't hurt I promise, plus I'm right here with you"
As we step into the machine a flash of light appears and before we suddenly appear somewhere else I'm sure I heard the machine say Nightwing and Batgirl - What's a Batgirl?
I'm cut off from my thoughts as Nightwing turns to me and says "Barbara I need you to pay attention to what I say now, when I'm not wearing the mask on my face I need you to call me Dick okay? it's really important that you do this for me" Understanding the mission he gives me I nod back at him adding a "Okay Dick" for good measure. Giving me a smile he turns and walks towards the end of the alley we appeared in and heads towards what look like shops.
Nightwing POV
Just as my mind starts looking forward to shopping with miniature Babs I stop mid thought and realize - I have no idea how to shop for a kid! This could be interesting...
