Hey readers, Callenlover1031 here, I appreciate all the views and reviews for this story; they mean everything to a writer. Thank you all for sticking with me through all of this; you guys are the absolute best readers. I've gotten a request from a reader to do a Batman and Robin fanfic so I'm thinking that is what I'm going to do next. Not exactly sure how that will go but I'll figure it out. I promised all of you an epilogue to put the finishing touches on this story and I'm going to do just that.

Kerry's POV
Standing in front of her English class, Kerry held notecards in her hands,
"It was just over one year ago that this young man turned my world upside down. He showed me the world in ways I never thought possible…" she paused when the door creaked open. Slowly walking in and shutting the door, Dick smiled and sat down in the closest chair. Smiling back, Kerry continued her speech, "he brought out different sides of my personality I never knew I had; he's sweet, caring, kind, compassionate and understanding. And even though I knew little about him when we started dating, something drew me too him. And looking back now, I wouldn't have done anything differently," she glanced down at her notes, "so in conclusion, I hope I was able to show all of you that taking risks can pay off in the end. No matter how afraid you are, go for it. You never know what might come out of it. Thank you."
The class started to applaud while Kerry walked back to her seat.
"Well done Kerry. Let's get some feedback," the professor pointed to a black haired girl, "Natalie, what did you think of Kerry's speech?"
The girl spoke,
"I thought she had great examples and great eye contact."
"Very good. Greg, what about you?"
A shy, blonde boy spoke up,
"I liked her personal experience; it made the argument more convincing."
"I agree," the professor spoke, "you had great eye contact, your tone and pace was excellent and Greg said it right; the personal experience made your argument relatable. It was I'd say your best speech."
Kerry blushed,
"Thank you."
Standing up, the Professor walked to the front of the class,
"Alright, we still have some time left. I'm going to hand back your grades for the last speech and show you your current grades before you leave. So… Jack let's start with you."
"Hey Kerry," a light brunette turned in her seat, "who's the guy that walked in?"
"Oh, he's a friend."
The brunette glanced at Dick in the corner,
"He's so cute. Would you introduce me?"
Kerry felt herself tense.
"Now now Jasmine, you have someone you like. You don't need another." Meghan came over and sat down.
"Jasmine, you're up!"
Jasmine stood up and went to the front. Meghan looked at Kerry,
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Kerry shrugged,
"I wanted to see how she'd react."
Jasmine left the class; winking at Dick along the way.
"Well now you see how she reacted."
"Kerry, come on up."
Grabbing her things, Kerry went to the front and stopped in front of the professor,
"You got a 20 on your last speech so that gives you 48 out of 50 possible points in the class. You have your last speech in 2 weeks." He handed her the page.
"Sounds good. Thanks Professor." She placed the page in her binder and turned to Meghan, "I'll wait for out in the hall."
"Ok."
Kerry walked to the back corner and asked Dick,
"What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd surprise you and come pick you up from school today. With your car being in the shop, I didn't want to bother Alfred to come get you so I offered," he held the door open for her, "besides, I thought you'd like to take a ride on the bike again."
They ran into Jasmine,
"Oh hi… Jasmine."
Meghan came out,
"Hey guys, how's the relationship?"
Dick wrapped his arm around Kerry's waist,
"It's been great." Kerry and Dick smiled then kissed, sending Jasmine away in a fiery.
Kerry, Dick and Megan started to laugh.
"Jeez, she's like another Stephanie."
"Oh god," Kerry scratched her arm, "don't even get me started on her. The things she said in business class this morning… ooh I almost hit her."
"What did she say?" Meghan wondered.
"I couldn't even repeat them to you without getting pissed again. She had no class at all."
The three of them arrived outside in the parking lot,
"Well…"Kerry put her books in a bag on Dick's motorcycle, "we better be heading home. Don't want Bruce to worry."
Meghan laughed,
"Girl… you know my parents; they worry all the time; especially my dad. But I'll call you tomorrow."
"Awesome, maybe we can go shopping or something."
Meghan's face lite up,
"OMG I've been dying to get those new shoes at the department store!"
Laughing one last time, the girls hugged and Dick and Meghan gave each other a cheek kiss then she walked to her car. Putting on their helmets, Dick and Kerry got on the motorcycle and drove home.
~FF 1 hour~
Driving into the garage, Dick turned the bike off and helped Kerry off,
"Home sweet home." Picking her up bridal style, Dick whirled her in a circle.
Giggling and smiling, Kerry couldn't help but imagine her future;
"Thanks for picking me up today; it was a nice surprise."
"You're welcome."
Removing their helmets and setting them on the bike, Dick carried Kerry through the house. Seeing no one around, they went upstairs to his room,
"How about we have some fun hmm?" he lustfully kissed her.
"Mmmm," Kerry seductively smiled, "I think that is a wonderful idea."
And once again, they engaged in in love making. (I might do a M-Rated version of this… just to finish the story off.)
~FF 2hours~
Falling onto her back, Kerry huffed out of breath,
"I swear… this gets better and better each time."
Dick laughed and rolled on his right side,
"We know each other more every time."
"True," Kerry rolled onto her left side, "…I love you Dick."
Smiling in delight, Dick grabbed her chin and pulled her into a heated kiss,
"I love you too, more than anything in the world."
Sharing an intimate kiss, they fell asleep.
So spending their days and nights together became a regular thing after Bruce approved of their relationship. Feeling better about not having to lie and hide their relationship, Kerry and Dick openly expressed their feelings towards each other; Bruce even began to like the idea of Dick and Kerry being together. Seeing his little sister happy meant all the world to him; seeing the smile on her face, the sound of her laughter and the overall joy on her face made him realize that he couldn't protect her anymore. Bruce and Chase split up a few months ago; she got tired of the Batman life and not getting enough attention from Bruce (not sure if true, but that's what I think from her personality) and he was with a new girl, Julie. (Preview for the sequel). Kerry and Julie got along great; both had great fashion sense and told each other of their lives. Kerry spent most of her days designing new gadgets and a new BatMobile for Bruce. Everything was perfect; Michael hadn't bothered her in months, his company went bankrupted, Riddler was in Arkham and the caped crusaders had no big villains to deal with; just little robberies here and there. So another year went past. (To 1997 when the next movie came out) Kerry and Dick's relationship went to a new level, Bruce was happy with Julie and Alfred was happy to see his children-like figures happy. For the first time in years, Kerry, Dick, Bruce, Julie and Alfred went on vacation. Kerry didn't have a care in the world. But nothing could have prepared her for what is about to happen in her life. What she is about to find out will change her life forever; and make her choose between the life she's known… and a life she never knew she had.
