KF had run Robin to Central City in about 8 seconds, but that wasn't fast enough.
"Now where is she?" Dick demanded.
"Not sure actually." Wally replied.
"WHAT!" Dick screamed.
"I don't know, it's not like she's just been in her room the whole time." Wally answered. Dick was ready to slap him when the front door opened.
"Hey Wally, hey Dick, what up?" Vanessa asked stepping on to the front porch.
Dick been thinking over all he was gonna say to Vanessa, how running away was not the best idea, how dangerous it was, and so on, but when he saw her step out onto the porch, he realized how much happier she looked. If he said what he intended he might as well have added 'Because I don't want you to be happy.'
"Hey Van." Dick replied trying to cover up ever being hesitant.
"Hey, Iris and I just made sandwiches for lunch, if you guys want some." Vanessa said before leading Dick and Wally inside to the dining room.
"So, um, how have you been?" Dick asked taking a seat next to his girlfriend.
"Fantastic! It's so much better here, I actually became friends with one of big bro's (1) friends who understand where I'm coming from." Vanessa replied happily picking up a sandwich.
"Big bro?" Dick questioned.
"Yup, Wally is my big brother now, well big brother figure anyway."She answered. Wally smiled proudly, he always wanted a little sister.
"Well, I'm glad you guys are happy, but Van you have to come home soon, this isn't going to help you fix things with your dad." Dick replied, regretting everything he said.
"Dick, I can't, I'm not a baby anymore and I'm not coming back until he realizes that!" Vanessa said.
"But Van, he's really worried about you." Dick shot back. Vanessa's once happy mood was now, no more then an act.
"Dick, it's not just that, I know he's gonna be pissed when I come back and I'll never hear the end of this, but I don't want to fight anymore." She replied softly, "I'm honestly scared to face it all."
Both Dick and Wally fell silent for a moment. Wally reached out a hand and placed it on top of Vanessa's.
"You won't have to face it alone." He said.
"We're here for you." Dick continued placing his hand on top of Vanessa's free hand. They all remained quiet when Dick realized something.
"I talked to Roy, the day when you left," he began, "He said that, if worse comes to worse, that you could stay with him."
"I don't see how things could get much worse, besides, my dad doesn't know I'm here." Vanessa replied with a grin.
