After a particularly long mission up against Clayface, most of the team members went to take naps and rest upstairs.
Being the Bat that she was Barbara couldn't stand to rest, no matter how tired she was. She wondered the kitchen
"Hey" she smiled seeing Robin sitting up on the counter
He grinned and hopped down "Hey Babs"
She rose an eyebrow "Babs? Arent we in the cave?" she tapped her glasses
Dick let out a cackle "We're fine everyone is out of earshot Sups and Mgann went for a walk, Zee, Rocket and the Atlanteans are upstairs in their rooms then you got the snuggle bunnies on the couch" he pointed in the direction of the living room where Wally and Artemis sat on the couch asleep. Both shared a blanket Artemis' head rested on his shoulder.
Barbara smiled at them, she remembered Dick telling her before she joined the team how they fought like cats and dogs before they started dating.
Looking at them now that was hard to believe
She heard the fridge open and turned her head to look at Dick pulling a large bowl covered with tin foil out.
"Whats that?" she asked hoping up on the counter
Dick set the bowl down next to her
He stood in front of her and peeling the tin foil back to reveal a white fluffy cream "Mgann made homemade cream cheese frosting for a cake she's baking later today." He dipped his finger into the frosting then put his finger into his mouth licking the frosting off
"Not as good as Alfred's but definitely tasty" he put his index finger back into the frosting getting more frosting onto it. "Here try some" he offered his finger
Barbara shook her head "No I don't know where your fingers have been" she grimaced
He grinned at her "Come on, I washed my hands right before you came in"
Barbara looked at his frosting covered finger "Robin I'm not licking your finger especially after its already been in your mouth, that's weird just get me a-"
She was cut off when Dick stuck his finger in her mouth
"What is going on in here?" Zatanna's voice rang through
Both Barbara and Dick turned their heads to look at the girl standing at the bottom of the staircase
Dicks' finger was still in Barbara's mouth. Quickly Barbara jumped back.
"Batgirl and I were just trying the frosting Mgann made" Dick explained taking even more frosting on his now clean finger and walking toward her
"Wanna try some?" he asked
Zatanna rolled her eyes "Your so clueless"
Dick scrunched up his eyebrows "What are you talking about?"
"Robin, think about this for a second. I come down from a nap only to find you. Alone. With a girl, you claim to be your best friend sucking on your finger while you stand between her legs."
Dick rolled his eyes "Awe come on Zee when you say it like that it sounds like something completely different"
"It's exactly what it was Robin" Zatanna crossed her arms
Barbara hoped off the counter "I'm going to go" she thumbed
"No Stay" Dick ordered
Reluctantly Barbra obeyed
"See, I mean you say your just friends but I see the way you have looked at her since the day she joined the team" Zatanna continued
Dick scrunched up his eyebrows "What do you mean, I don't look at her like anything"
Zatanna threw her hands down "Yeah you do! You look at her longingly. And don't even get me started on sparing the other day, how you had her pinned putting more weight than necessary on her waist. Both of you lying there longer than necessary"
"Zatanna we were just training" Barbara calmly tried to defend
Zatanna shook her head "Please stay out of this" she looked at Dick "We're done, I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. It's not just your flirting with Batgirl you flirt with Rocket and Mgann, you don't trust me with your identity. What kind of relationship is it when I just refer to you as Robin." She spoke before rushing out of the cave.
As the kitchen cleared with Barbara quickly excusing herself to her room and Dick going toward the gym Artemis slowly opened her eyes followed by Wally doing the same
"Well we all saw that coming," she said softly
Wally nodded "Yeah I just don't know why they had to do it while we were trying to nap" He stretched
Artemis smiled "Think they're okay?"
Wally nodded "Yeah but knowing Rob he needs space. He'll go to the gym and hit something till his knuckles are bleeding."
Artemis scrunched up her eyebrows "That's weird "
Wally shrugged "We're talking about the same guy who just forced Batgirl to lick frosting off his finger and didn't see anything wrong with it"
"Good point" she nodded "So how long till they start dating?"
Wally shook his head "Never, or at least not for a long time. Robin and she are just messing around they don't really like each other"
Artemis looked at him "Are you serious?"
He nodded
"I bet they'll end up together one day" she stuck her hand out
Wally grinned "Deal, by the way, I said a month, therefore, I won the other bet...what's my reward?"
Artemis bit her lip "You want it now or later?"
"Now is good," he said grinning as he stood reaching for her hand and kissing her lips
Barbara exited the Zeta tube and quickly slid off her sunglasses, making her way out of the ally that was always empty.
As she stepped onto the busy Gotham street she was surprised when she was bumped into by someone causing her sunglasses to fall from where they were clipped onto her shirt.
She looked to see the sunglasses that she used to hide her identity tumble to the ground, scratching on the concrete "Shit!" She quickly picked them up examining them for scratches
"Sorry" a deep voice spoke
Barbara turned to look at who had run into her for the first time, he looked familiar, tall with long brown hair and big brown eyes.
"Yeah, well watch where your going next time," she said frustrated since there was indeed a scratch on the glasses. She took her shirt and attempted to buff it out
"Your Barbara Gordon right, your a sophomore at Gotham Academy?" The guy asked
Stopping Barbara looked at him "Yes" she said slowly
"I'm Jason Bard, I graduated from there last year. I remember you used to hang out with the Wayne ward. The short boy who skipped a grade" he explained sticking out a hand
Barbara shook his hand politely "Yeah Dick may be a year younger than me but he's a genius " she knew how much he hated being referred to as 'Wayne Ward'
Jason nodded "It's interesting I run into you," he said
Barbara scrunched up her eyebrows "Why's that?"
He shrugged "Because I just got a job at the police department, basically I work for your dad" he grinned
Barbara smiled "Oh that's nice" they stood there for a moment
"Can I walk you home?" He asked before she could respond he held his hands up "I'm sure your perfectly capable of walking yourself home, it's just I'm heading in that direction" he defended
Barbara let out a light laugh "Sure come on" she waved.
The next day at school Barbara met Dick at his locker "Long time no see" she smiled having only seen him 5 hours ago when patrol ended
"I know right? " Dick smirked
Barbara bit her lip "So I didn't get ask, how'd things go with Zatanna after I left yesterday?"
Dick shrugged "I think she calmed down a little, I'm still giving her space though."
Barbara flashed a sad smile " Well maybe you'll get back together"
Dick fiddled with his fingers and shook his head "Nah, at least not for a while. But enough of that, are you excited about the team bonding sleepover tonight?"
Barbara facepalmed "I completely forgot about that!"
Dick cocked an eyebrow " What do you mean?"
Barbara sighed " I have a date"
This caught Dick off guard he almost dropped his books before catching them " A date? With who!?"
Barbara could feel her heart pounding " With Jason" she tried to sound casual
"Jason? The 11-year-old Bruce just took in?" Dick asked confused
Barbara rolled her eyes " No, Jason Bard he graduated here last year. But he graduated early so he won't be 18 until next month"
Dick nodded "Oh okay" he kept it cool "But you're still coming to my birthday party on Saturday right?" He asked eagerly "It's just a fancy gala celebration this year and I don't think I could get through it without you"
Barbara smiled at him "You know I wouldn't miss your 15th birthday Boy Wonder" she rested a hand on his shoulder.
