Young Justice
Murder Attempt
By RobinIsAwesome
Normal POV
Thump. Thump. Thump. The Team could hear the steady footsteps.
"Don't look over," order Aqualad. "Look causal,"
'As much as a rich boy with five super teens following can,' thought Wally.
The Team nodded. They passed a corner, where they would be in view of the person.
"Dick?' a female voice said.
All heads, even Aqualad, turned to the source. It was an average sized girl with red hair in a uniform.
"Who is-" Superboy started.
"Dick!" The girl cried and ran towards the group.
Artemis started to grab one of her arrows when Dick stopped her.
"Don't worry. It's just Bar- ooff!" The girl collided with him and hugged him tightly. Dick hugged back. The got some glances, especially form Wally.
"Hey, Barbara. You hugging me!" Dick said this as if it was an accomplishment.
Barbara stared at him, letting him go, and scold him. "You were almost killed, disappeared for the rest of the day and next morning AND from school. You didn't even answer one of my zillion messages or jillion texts. And now, I see you just walking around with your "protectors", which I just found out you had from my dad."
She put quotes around the word protectors.
"Of course I'm hugging, you idiot!"
"So, who's this?" teased Wally. "Your girlfriend?"
Barbara rolled her eyes. "Oh please!" She turned to Dick. "So can you ditch your new BFFs and hung with me instead?"
Dick shook her head. "Sorry. Warden is keeping me in lock-down."
At first, the Team thought he was talking about Batman, but Barbara said: "How about you ignore Wayne?"
Dick laughed. "Sorry. No can do. They will drag me to the house." He pointed at the Team.
Wally waved. "Hey!"
"Hi." Looking at Dick, she said "Well later I guess. I hope this blow over quick." She squeezed his hand and let go.
Dick agreed. "Me too. Don't stress about. It'll happen sooner than you think."
She sighed and gave a wave goodbye. She walked away as the Team moved forward. Soon, Barbara was out of sight.

In episode 12, Home front, when Dick took the pic of Artemis, you can see that Barbara was upset.
Question is why.
Does she have a crush on him?
Did they use to date?
Did she ask him out and he turned her down because of his hero work?
And more questions that I don't feel like typing.
In this story, there will be some love between them, maybe big, maybe small.
Like in the original Batman ( the animated series ), they like each other, but won't admit it.
