Bruce wasn't sure why he hadn't thought of looking there before. Of course that's where Dick would go.
Barbara's house.
Barbara had been Dick's closest friend since they'd met when they were eight years old. The pair had been inseparable ever since.So, naturally, that's where Dick would go if he was feeling vulnerable.
It was Bruce Wayne who rang the Gordons' doorbell, not Batman. Commissioner Gordon answered and seemed to not be surprised by the billionaire's appearance.
"He's in Barbara's room," he simply said.
Bruce went and stood outside the closed door, listening to the sounds from inside. It seemed as though the teens were playing cards, as faint cries of frustration and intermittent laughter could be heard through the door. Taking a deep breath and feeling bad about interrupting their game, Bruce opened the door

Barbara looked up as the door opened, not at all surprised to see Bruce there. Both she and Dick knew that it would only be a matter of time before he thought of looking there. He was the Batman after all.
As Barbara looked at him, and now knowing his connection to Dick, she began to see the similarities between them. She wondered why she hadn't noticed it before, although she supposed she hadn't really had a reason to think about it.
Dick also looked up at Bruce's entrance, and Bruce noticed that he wasn't as tense or hesitant as the night before, more worried or scared. Bruce could understand that. It wasn't everyone who had their whole life turned upside down like that.

Dick couldn't help himself. When he saw Bruce in the doorway, he smiled. It was good to know that Bruce was his father.
