Tumbly, Young Justice Headcannon 186. Dick is still incredibly gravity-sensitive. He abhors the idea of falling to such a point that anything falling bothers him. At one point at school, Artemis leaned back in her seat during a lecture in Biology and nearly fell over. Dick flew out of his seat and ran across the room just to catch her. He was sure to scold her about leaning back like that because she could get hurt. No one else in the class understood why he'd done it. No one, that is, except for Barbara.

AN: This takes place during Dick and Babs' sophomore year/ Artemis's senior year. (Artemis is 2 years older than Dick and Babs FYI) Comments and reviews feeds the muse.


Love is Understanding Gravity.

It was 2nd period AP Biology when it happened. Barbara Gordon eyes strayed from the PowerPoint lecture and landed on her neighbor, Dick Grayson. His eyes were intensely focused on Artemis Crock, who was leaning back on her seat. The second Artemis had lost her footing; Dick went flying to her rescue. The whole class was stunned at the event that unfolded in front of them. Dick had caught Artemis just before she had hit the ground.

"Miss Crock, are you all right?" their teacher asked as she hurried over.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to flying Grayson here." Artemis smiled at him and set her chair up right. "No more leaning?"

"No more leaning. Gravity's painful." Barbara noticed the sadness in his voice. She was sure that Dick would scold her later.

It was the gossip of the day at lunch. The news had spread like wild fire of how Dick Grayson, adopted son of Bruce Wayne, had flew to save Artemis Crock, scholarship student, from crashing onto the floor of the Biology class. They were calling him the "Flying Grayson." But what they didn't know was that it had brought up painful memories for Dick. Only Barbara knew and she hushed up those who called him "Flying Grayson."

Once school was over, on the pretense of completing a history project with Dick, Barbara headed to Wayne Manor, instead of home. She had called Alfred during their lunch period to explain what had happened today and if he could make a fresh batch of cookies, to which Alfred wholeheartedly agreed.

"Thanks Alfred. You're the best." Barbara walked into the kitchen to take the fresh batch of cookies to the living room. "Did you tell Bruce?"

"Master Bruce has been informed of the situation and he agrees with the set solution." Alfred told her.

She gave the butler a quick nod before heading to the living room. Although she knew that Dick could take care of himself, in and out of costumes, she still worried about him. Things like that can never truly leave a person. Gravity is always painful. She placed the tray of cookies down on the coffee table and took two cookies before sitting down next to Dick. "Want one?"

Dick took the offered cookie and drew Barbara closer to him. She snuggled closer and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Thanks Babs."

"Always Dick."
