It's All Relative (IAR)

Author's Notes…
Hello! After a very long hiatus, IAR is finally finished! YAY! For those of you who have waited, I apologize – unfortunately, life just got in the way for a while.
IAR started out as a joke. When I first saw the previews for the Batman Beyond show, I mistakenly thought that Mary McGuiness was Barbara Gordon. I joked around with my on-line friends about my error and we kicked around the idea of Terry being Barbara and Dick's son. I love Dick Grayson and didn't like that he was MIA.
When I started writing the story, it took on a life of it's own and became much darker than I originally intended it to be. As I kept reviewing it (I wrote all the way up to Dick and Babs' misunderstanding and she runs away), I really hated a lot of what I wrote. I decided to completely over haul it and inserted Wonder Woman as a primary villain.
Normally, I am a huge Wonder Woman fan, but I thought it would be interesting to have her as a villain. Also, I was getting wicked writer's block on how to end the original story, plus I thought Babs' original excuse was lame. I thought there should have been more drama and double-crossing tied in with her absence. It wasn't the best plot fix, but it was fun to write.
Speaking of not being the best… IAR isn't the greatest story ever, nor do I think it is how BB should have been, but I thought it was different and fun.
Thank you for reading my story and thank you for all of your feedback. I would have never finished this without all of you.
Keep writing and reading,
