"Come on Dick" Barbara flopped back on Dicks bed her head landing on his pillows "The sooner you get done with your homework sooner we can go downstairs to the Batcave and train. I have so much pent-up energy" she stretched arching her back.
Dick felt his eyes unintentionally wonder to her legs where her skirt had risen slightly. Quickly He shook his head and stood up walking toward his bed "That's easy for you to say, we have to do this stupid genetics chart, and in case your forgetting I'm kind of an orphan "
Barbara sat up "Well I'm a half orphan, I don't have my mom"
Dick sat next to her on the bed, while she sat up. Both had their backs up against the headboard
"At least you have a photo of your mom, I got nothing, but this one wallet-sized grainy wedding photo"
Barbara sent him a soft smile "Dick do you remember what your parents look like?"
He shrugged "Yeah but that doesn't help my problem"
Barbara nodded "Just go with me here okay"
Dick shot her a smile
"Now you know what I look like right? "She rose an eyebrow
Dick rolled his eyes "Of course I do"
Barbara smiled at him "With your eyes closed?"
Dick nodded "Yeah, Babs where are we going with this?" He asked getting impatient
"Dick close your eyes"
He obeyed and gently closed his eyes
"Tell me what I look like in as much detail as possible" she ordered
Dick let out a peaceful sigh "You have long wavy red hair, it's not a dark red but it's not light enough to be a strawberry blonde either. It's kind of an in-between" Dick licked his lips and continued to keep his eyes closed as he described her Barbara took advantage of the rare opportunity to soak in Dicks relaxed face "You have a slim nose, with a light span of freckles across it. Your eyes are almond shaped and a nice green and blue mixed color. Your lips are... can I be done now?" Dick opened his eyes cutting himself off
Quickly Barbara nodded refocusing herself. "Yeah, see you can describe me just by closing your eyes and picturing me. What makes it different than with your parents? And when we get to your personality and abilities traits you can tell me stories and it'll help you jog your memory" she said cheerfully
Dick sent her a wide smile "Thanks, Babs"
20 minutes later he had completed his homework
"Did you do the back of the page?" Dick asked flashing her the other side of the paper as she began standing up
She looked back at him "There's a backside?" She questioned
Dick nodded "Using a Punnett square create a pretend person then using yourself against their genes predict what your child will look like" he read off the paper
Barbara moved and sat back down next to him grabbing her paper and flipping it over only to see that he was right
"What would you do without me" he smirked
Barbara rolled her eyes "Probably have less stress" she teased
Dick stuck his tongue out at her and she did the same back
"So, are you going to use Zee's genetics?" She asked as her mind began to brainstorm of possible genetics she could create
Dick shook his head "Nah, our genetics are too similar it'd be too easy. Mrs. Derby will just think I'm trying to take an easy way out"
Barbara nodded "True it would be like me using Roy or Wally"
"Please don't ever put the image of that in my head again" Dick smirked
Barbara laughed lightly "So who are you going to use?" She asked curiously
Dick brought a finger to his chin "How about you?"
"Me!?" Barbara placed a hand on her chest
Dick nodded "We have quite different genetic traits, so it'll look good to the teacher. You can do me, and I'll do you. Theoretically speaking it might be fun to find out what a baby between the two of us would be like" He waggled his eyebrow
"In your dreams Grayson" she playfully rolled her eyes
Dick chuckled "That's why I said theoretically" he pointed
Barbara paused then nodded "Alright let's do it then" she grabbed her pencil and began writing
"I hope it has red hair," Dick said randomly
Barbara turned to look at him "Why?" She questioned
Dick shrugged "Because my hair is just black, nothing fun about that. Your hair is this beautiful shade of red full of personality"
Barbara bit her lip "Thanks"
Dick nodded as they both continued working
"And we are done" Dick let out an accomplished huff as he closed his biology book
"Finally! Race you to the Batcave?" She rose an eyebrow as she stood up
"Better start running BG" Dick grinned following after her
Once they reached the cave, both went directly to the dressing rooms and changed into workout clothes. When they met back out on the cave floor they found that Batman had also made his way down.
"So, what's on the training agenda today Bruce? Sparring? Maybe teaching us how to use a new gadget?" Dick asked eagerly
Bruce shook his head "Chiropractor practice for Barbara, you took a nasty fall last night Dick"
"Yes!" Dick fist bumped the air
"No" Barbara groaned throwing her head back "I still don't get why we have to know this?"
Bruce walked over to a cabinet pulling out the box of latex gloves "Because, with what we do discs can slip, muscles can ache, and things can get dislocated. It's a good skill for us all to have so we can take care of each other" he explained
Dick nodded "Yeah Babs" he slipped off his shirt "Look on the Brightside, at least you get to practice on me. When I was learning I had to practice on Bruce and Alfred." He went and sat on the massage bed waiting for her to come.
"And why do we have to wear gloves when I do this?" Barbara asked pulling a set of gloves out of the box Bruce was still holding
Bruce shrugged "Alfred's orders, something about you two being teenagers and hormones and touching"
Barbara glanced over at Dick who had heard what Bruce had said, both making grossed out and embarrassed faces
"Just put on the gloves and start practicing" Bruce ordered
Dick laid on his stomach as Barbara began pressing on his back, feeling the cracking beneath her fingers
She hit a particularly stiff spot and applied a little more pressure, finally satisfied when she felt the pop
"Owe, Babs that hurt" Dick groaned
Barbara leaned forward resting her chin on his shoulder "Don't be such a baby"
"I'm not a baby" he retaliated
She got back to her "training" for the day, finally satisfied when Bruce dismissed them to go to the cave
Batgirl and Robin made their way into the cave smiling when they saw Wally, Artemis and Kladur on the couch "Hey, guys I am loose and ready for some training" Robin clapped his hands together
"What are we doing today?" Zatanna asked walking into the living room
Dick smiled upon seeing her and wrapped an arm around her waist
"I thought we could spare, I already arranged the pairs. If someone would go get the others from upstairs, we can all gather in the training room" the Atlantean offered
After everyone was stretched and ready in the room then paired off with their designated people Dick found himself circling Barbara
"You're going down Batgirl" Dick snickered
"Oh yeah bird boy, bring it "she waved a finger at him
At that Robin lunged at her
Nearby Artemis was knocked off her feet and thrown to the ground rather roughly by Superboy
"Artemis, you're supposed to fight back" Conner grumbled
She pushed herself up while keeping an eye on what had thrown off her concentration in the first place.
Wally who had watched Superboy knock Artemis over while he sparred with Rocket noticed that she had been eyeing Batgirl and Robin. Although he wanted to punch Conner in the face for punching his girlfriend, he couldn't help but grin at the fact that she was so interested in his two friends
Wally excused himself from Rocket and stepped forward "Hey Sups wanna switch?" he offered
Conner willingly nodded his head and went to spar with Rocket
"So, penny for your thoughts?" he rose an eyebrow
She smiled at him "Look at them" she pointed to Dick and Barbara who were throwing punch after kick at each other
"I know right? I'm not sure how Batman doe's it but those Bats are so in sync it's like watching the tango" Wally agreed
"Zatanna you are doing fantastic today. But you might want to consider dialing it down a notch, so you don't hurt Ms. Martian" Aqualad caught their attention
They looked over to the corner of the gym where Zatanna and Mgann had been paired and saw the determination in her face
"Dang he's right, girl is on a role" Wally agreed
Artemis nodded "I wonder why" she pointed a thumb back toward Robin and Batgirl. Where Robin now had her pinned beneath him. He held both her hands above her head with on hand and pressed on a pressure point in her waist with the other, so she wouldn't be able to get out of his grasp.
They were both breathing heavily with goofy grins plastered on their faces
Wally grinned "Hey you two, get a room" he caught their attention
They both looked at them, quickly Dick got off Barbara then helped her up.
Artemis let out a laugh "Your bad" she nudged Wally in the stomach with her elbow
"Only for you" he winked
Artemis bit her lip "You better be" they began walking to the showers since everyone was finishing up now "So what do you think is going to happen between them?"
"Batgirl and Robin? Who knows, they both swear that they are just friends and nothing more" Wally shrugged "Personally though I think Zatanna is getting fed up with their flirting and touching."
Artemis nodded "Me too, I give it a week two at the most before something causes her to blow up and break up with him"
Wally looked at his girlfriend "I have a little more faith in my bat friends, so I'll give it a month before Rob does something stupid and screws it up"
Artemis sent Wally a determined grin "It's a bet" she stuck out her hand, both shaking on it
