"So, Boss is back?" Cassie asked as she paced on the usual rooftop that they normally met on
Tim nodded "Yup came back last week"
Cassie moved and sat down next to him "How did he react to BG'S baby?"
Tim smiled "He's adjusting"
"Did she tell him it's his?" the Amazonian Warrior questioned
Tim looked at her, he hadn't told her that. The only people who knew that were Wally, Artemis, and the Bat-family "How did you-?"
Cassie let out a light laugh "Please it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that they had more than just 'friendship' going on. Whenever we had missions, she could sass him or make her own calls and he'd let her get away with it. When you are the leader of a team you don't just let one of your members do something like that unless there's more to it"
Tim laughed "Yeah I guess your right, and yeah he knows. He can't really deny him"
Cassie watched as Tim pulled out his phone then smiled at it
He had received a text from Stephanie "So your brother finally met Dami can't wait for you to hear the story its actually really funny" it read
"It's her…. isn't it?" Cassie questioned looking down at her feet
Tim's head shot up and he shoved his phone back into his utility belt "By her you mean?"
"Batgirl or I guess she's back to being Spoiler, right?"
Tim took a deep breath and nodded "Yeah it is"
"You like her, don't you?" Cassie asked not meeting his eyes
Tim stood up and walked so that he was standing in front of her "I mean yeah she's awesome and part of the Bat-family, but Cass you're my- "
Wondergirl cut him off "Rob don't say it. I know you like her more than a friend and I trust that you haven't acted on those feelings. You are an amazing guy" she looked up at him, sending him a smile. He sent her one back
"But if we are being honest with ourselves we've seen each other what 5 times in the past 6 months?" she sighed
Tim moved closer to her "Are you breaking up with me?"
Cassie shook her head "No, it's just both of us have been spending a lot of time with another person of the opposite sex…."
"Jamie," he said more to himself, how had he not seen it sooner
Cassie nodded "He's really good to me Robin and we look out for each other. I swear we've never gone beyond friend boundaries" she let out a sigh "But I have developed feelings for him and I know he likes me too. So, I understand what you're going through with Spoiler"
Tim scrunched up his eyebrows "You're not suggesting we have some weird open relationship, are you? Cause honestly I don't think I could do that, I'm more of the monogamous type"
Cassie let out a light giggle "No I'm not suggesting that. What I am suggesting is that we go on one date with the other person. We owe to ourselves just to see if there is something there. If there is even with one of us, we will break things off with each other"
Tim moved again and say back down next to Cassie "So you're suggesting that I go on a date with Spoiler?"
Cassie nodded
"And that you go on a date with Jamie?"
She nodded again
"And if we like the date with the other person we break up but if we go out with the other people and we realize we like being with each other more then we stay together?" he clarified
Cassie nodded "That is exactly what I'm suggesting"
Tim let out a sigh and sat back "Give me a little bit of time to think about it, I'll text you and let you know my decision"
She smiled at him before leaning over and pecking his cheek "I can do that" she leaned forward and pecked his lips "Thank you"
He shot her a smile "Not a problem"
Tim sat in the study at Wayne Manor waiting.
"I'm here! With the amazing masterpiece that Babs and I made!" Dick's voice boomed through the manor
Tim and Alfred exchanged glances "Do you think he will ever stop proclaiming that?" Tim questioned
A small grin formed on Alfred's face "He's only been back for a week so let's give him the benefit of the doubt. But being that this is Master Dick I wouldn't get my hopes up"
Tim let out a chuckle "Agreed, poor kid is going to be 17 and he's going introduce him as the product he and Barbara created"
"You better know it" Dick grinned walking into the room with a baby strapped to his chest
Alfred smiled "Hello Master Dick, what brings you to the Manor today?"
Tim stood "Actually I called and asked him to come over, I have to ask him something" he explained
"Yeah, let me just go put him down for a nap and when I get back down we can talk cool? Dick questioned unstrapping the almost asleep infant from the carrier
Tim nodded
10 minutes later Dick was back in the room, it was just the two of them now since Alfred had gone off to prepare lunch.
"I brought the monitor down cause Damian is up there too….and I don't really know that kid that well yet" Dick explained looking down at the small tablet that connected to the video monitor that Bruce had purchased for Nathans nursery at the manor
Tim nodded "Smart move, I heard you met him last night as Nightwing?"
Dick nodded "Yeah, little twerp tore me up. I didn't even realize he was Bruce's son till he started yelling "Unhand me you imbecile do you not know who I am" Dick pulled up his sleeve to show him a large gash on his arm, the stitch work obviously done by Alfred
"Yeah I heard about that" Tim let out a light chuckle
"Who told you?" Dick asked
A small smile formed on Tim's face "Steph texted me"
Dick grinned "I like her she seems like a cool girl"
"She is" Tim agreed
"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Dick questioned as he did handstand
Tim let out a long sigh "Well, as you know I had my bi-weekly meet up with Cass" he began
Dick nodded "Yeah how's that going? It must be hard keeping relationship where you only see each other for one hour on a rooftop once or twice a month"
Tim shook his head "That's why I asked you to come, we've been trying we really have. But it is hard. She's been working a lot with Jamie and she knows I have been working a lot with Steph. Well she suggested I go on a date with Steph and she go on a date with Jamie, so we can both see if there is anything there"
"Wow" Dick sighed
"I know, I mean is this a test? Should I say no, if I do go through with it is it a stupid idea? What would Steph think, I mean the whole reason she likes me is that I'm not one of those kinds of guys" Tim rambled
Dick shook his head "No not that, I just can't believe I didn't realize that you, liked Stephanie. I'm proud of you for continuing the Old Robin-Batgirl love pairing" he teasingly nudged Tim
Tim let a small smile form on his face "Not helping, what should I do?" he questioned
Dick sat next to him "I don't think it's a test Cas isn't that type of girl. Honestly, I think you should do it. Explain everything to Steph and if she says yes to a date go all out, just don't go too far. "
Tim smiled "I won't"
"I'm serious Timbo for a situation like this you don't want to go farther than a goodnight kiss," Dick said sternly
Tim nodded "I probably won't even kiss her"
Dick shook his head "Now you can't do that because that defeats the purpose of the date, you have to at least kiss her to see if there is anything there"
"Alright I'll think about it" he let out a groan "I'm so awkward, do you know how weird this is going to be? How am I even supposed to start this? Hey Steph, my girlfriend wants me to go on a date with you to see who I like more." He put his face in his hands
Dick laughed "Well the fact that your an awkward dork is the thing that Stephanie likes the most about you," he said casually
"How do you know?" Tim sat up and looked at Dick
Dick grinned "Babs has filled me in on a lot of stuff that has been going on since I was gone. Like the fact that Steph secretly takes pictures of you while on patrol"
"She does?" Tim said his face turning red
Dick laughed again and nodded his head "Yeah she thinks your cute when you brood"
Tim turned even redder
"She's also filled me in on the fact that Wally and Artemis had twins not long after Barbara had our baby. And Mgann and Conner are getting married!" Dick shook his head in disbelief
Tim shrugged "Well I could have told you all of that"
Dick stood "Well I guess I should leave you now to practice asking your Batgirl out."
Tim gave him a questionable look "Why?"
"Cause I texted Stephanie and told her that she needs to come to the manor," Dick said nonchalantly
Tim's eyes widened "Why would you do that!"
"Cause I'm your big brother and it's my job to help you" he smiled
"So, remember how a few months ago you said I needed to figure out how I felt. Well, I have a solution. Let's go on a date!"
Tim threw his head back "I can't say that, he turned away from the mirror that he had been looking into and ran a hand through his hair, then he turned back to the mirror
"Steph hey you me Friday night. Let's see if there really is something between us" he winked then quickly shook his head "Okay definitely not that one"
He heard the doorbell and knew it was Stephanie "Alright Drake you can do this, it's Stephanie you've known each other for almost a year and have been flirting most of that time." Tim pep talked himself before heading downstairs
He smiled as he climbed down the stairs and saw Stephanie standing at the bottom
"Hey Stud" she grinned
He smiled at her "Hey Steph, how are you?"
She nodded "I'm good, Dick texted me and said I should come over for lunch. Did he bring the baby!" she said excitedly
Tim chuckled "Yeah but he's sleeping so I guess you'll have to settle with me"
Stephanie rolled her eyes "Oh what a shame"
"Could be worse I could be Damian?" Tim said as they walked into the living room
Stephanie pinched Tim's chin "True, you may not be as cute as a baby, but you are pretty cute"
Tim grinned, as they sat down on the couch
"Well you're not the worst company either Brown" he teased
They both laughed until they fell into comfortable silence
"So, I uh have something to ask you," he said softly
She looked at him "What is it?" she asked
He took a deep breath "I was talking to Cass yesterday during our usual meet up"
Stephanie nodded
"And she told me she likes Blue Beetle"
Stephanie whipped her head around and looked at him "Did she break up with you?"
Tim shook his head "No because she figured out that I like you"
Stephanie rose an eyebrow signaling for him to continue
He inhaled a breath "She suggested that we both go on a date with the other person we are interested in just to see if maybe we like the other person…more"
Stephanie bit her lip "Is this your way of asking me out?"
Quickly Tim nodded his head
Stephanie grinned at him "Then go-ahead Timbers" she sat back on the couch and crossed her arms
Tim scratched the back of his neck nervously "Steph will you do me Fri- "he stopped talking realizing what he said "Stephanie are you -…. Stephanie Brown will you go on a date with me on Friday night!" he blurted out
Stephanie was laughing "Of course I'll go out with you on Friday" she leaned forward and pecked his cheek "Come on Casanova I'm sure Alfred has lunch ready by now" she patted his leg and stood up.
Tim stood up and followed her, he was going on a date with Stephanie Friday while he still had a girlfriend and his girlfriend was fine with it. This wasn't weird at all.
