Thank you all so much for the reviews, don't worry there won't be any Dick/Babs stuff, at least not on his part. This chapter is kind of brief but I will be publishing another one later today about the date.

I have an important question for the future of this story. Would you like me to write about missions that they go on? And if yes, who do you want them to fight? I have an idea or two but this story is for you guys not for me. Would you like me to introduce some OC villains that I've made up? Right now my plan is to write about what happens after missions not during them.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter. Read and Review.


Dick was shocked to see jealousy on Barbara's face. Why would she be jealous? Dick thought, We're only friends, or did she want to be more?"

Barbara gave him the note again, When were you going to tell me? He read.

Soon. At lunch, he wrote back. He waited for an answer but when he didn't get one after five minutes he looked over to Barbara who was paying attention to the teacher and taking notes. He knew that when she paid attention to the teacher instead of him it meant that she was angry. He turned to the teacher and tried to pay attention to the teacher's boring lecture on how Anouilh's Antigone was a metaphor for the Nazi occupation of France, but he couldn't. He was thinking about why Barbara was so mad at him, trying to understand. He was still thinking about it when the bell rang.


It was lunchtime and Dick was sitting at the table where he would usually sit with Barbara. He was quietly eating his roast beef sandwich, made by Alfred and if Alfred messed up waffles he made up for it with his sandwiches, waiting for Barbara so he could explain. He saw her getting out of the lunch line and when she turned and he knew that she was looking at him, he smiled. She didn't smile back, in fact she turned the other way to sit with some of her other friends. He was disappointed that she wouldn't even let him explain, so he got up and went to join Barbara with her friends. Barbara glared at him as he took the last empty seat but he ignored it.

"Barbara," Dick pleaded, "Can you let me explain?"

"Explain what?" Barbara spat, "Why you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend?"

"Barbara please. Let me explain."

"Fine, but this better be good."

"The reason I didn't tell you earlier is because I didn't even ask her out until New Year's."

"Why didn't you tell me you liked someone?" Barbara said bitterly.

"I did, I told you I liked someone. I told how that person made me feel."

"I thought you were talking about me." Barbara said, "I thought you liked me."

"Why would you think that?" Dick asked. Barbara looked at him, hurt. "I mean you're my best friend Barbara, I thought you understood that."

"I understand that we're best friends but I thought that you, like me, wanted more." Barbara said quietly, "But now I know that you don't."

"Barb..." Dick started to say but never got the chance to finish because Barbara stood up.

"Dick, why didn't you just tell me that it was someone else?" She asked and then left without waiting for an answer.


Dick had been lonely for the rest of school. Barbara wouldn't talk to him and he realized that besides the Team, she was his only other real friend. To get his mind off of things he had texted Zatanna all afternoon. It helped but he still didn't feel great. When the bell rang he rushed out of school. Zatanna had already finished school twenty minutes ago and he couldn't wait to see her. He saw Barbara standing by the gate with a few of her friends. He was torn, should he rush to the telephone booth to use the zeta-tube and see Zatanna as soon as possible, or should he try to fix things with Barbara. He decided on the latter, because if school had been tough in the afternoon he couldn't imagine what tomorrow would be like.

"Barbara," Dick said.

"What is it?" Barbara answered, slightly angry.

"I wanted to apologize. I'm really sorry that I made you think that I liked you in that way. I want you to know that you're my best friend and no one else." Dick said quickly.

They were both silent for few moments, Dick waiting for an answer and Barbara trying to find the right one.

"I know Dick, I know." Barbara finally said.

"Does that mean you forgive me?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes I forgive you." He smiled before quickly hugging her.

"I gotta go."


Dick was in the Cave wearing his helmet. He was pushing his motorcycle towards the hangar doors so that he could pick up Zatanna. He got on and drove away. He was happy as he drove away. He had fixed things with his best friend and he was driving to bring his amazing girlfriend on their first real date.

He arrived at the school shortly afterwards. As he drove into the parking lot he could see Zatanna looking adorable, as always, with a group of people who looked like they were her new friends. He drove right up to the curb, jumped off the motorcycle and took off his helmet. His hair was messed up like when he is in costume as Robin and quickly put on his shades before walking over.

"Hey Zee," Dick said kissing her on the cheek, "Are these your new friends?"

"No Rob," Zatanna said, "These people were insulting me."

"Oh really," he said turning to them abruptly causing the two girls to jump back despite his small size, "What were they saying?"

"They said, 'Who would drive all the way from Gotham for you?' and 'Who would waste that much time and money?'" Zatanna said with a obnoxiously high voice, probably mimicking the girls.

"Well now we can see," Robin said, he turned to face the group of five and coldly said, "I would. Now come on Zee, I've been waiting all day for this."

She nodded before taking his hand and walking over to the motorcycle. He gave her helmet and put his helmet on. He jumped up on the bike while she put the helmet on. When he was seated she got up and wrapped her arms around his abdomen, making them both smile. He revved the engine and took off.


Okay so there was a little Dick/Babs but it'll stay friendship. Hope you all enjoyed it remember to, Review!
