Dicks 15th birthday came and went including Barbara giving Dick a quick peck on the lips when nobody was looking.

When he questioned why, since she was technically dating Jason Bard she simply smiled and replied with "Tradition Boy Blunder"

On Valentine's Day Dick approached the door to her apartment building, ready to pick her up so they could walk to school

Dick knocked lightly on the door before lightly tugging on his light pink button-up shirt. Every now and then Gotham Academy made exceptions to their dress code and would allow the students certain days to wear different clothes if they still followed the school's formal wear dress code. So today he was being festive, wearing a Ralph Lauren pink colored button up with khaki pants

The door opened to a smiling Barbara Gordon who was wearing a modest plain blush pink dress. "Hey Dick, come on in." She waved

Dick whipped his feet and stepped into the apartment, following Barbara "I'm ready to go. I was just getting ready to give my dad his Valentines card." She explained picking up a stack of 3 cards from the counter.

"Good morning Richard" Jim's voice came through as he walked out of his bedroom

"Good Morning Commissioner" he nodded

Barbara stood shuffling through the cards

"Three cards?" Dick questioned

She smiled "For my favorite guys. My dad" she said handing her dad his card "My best friend" she said handing Dick a card "And this one is for Jason" she waved the last card

Dick saw Jim roll his eyes and chuckled

"Here's yours," Dick said pulling the card from where he had tucked it into the waistband of his pants and handing it to Barbara

"I would have gotten one for you too Comish, but surprisingly they don't make cards for your best friends dad" Dick joked earning a light chuckle from Jim

Dick opened his card it featured 2 mockingbirds sitting in a tree and read "We're a great pair"

Inside Barbara had written "Dear Dick, thanks for always being there I don't know where I'd be without you, happy Valentine's Day Love Babs"

Meanwhile, Barbara opened the card from Dick

On the front was the bat signal with the words "Your Bat-tastic" written in large letters

Inside he wrote "Since I don't have a special lady in my life I guess you will do. Ha-ha! I hope that comes across as sarcastic in writing. You are my best friend and shoulder to lean on. Happy Valentine's Day Love Dick"

"Thanks, Dick" she leaned forward embracing him in a hug

Dick hugged her back "I like my card too," he said into her hair holding onto her. They stayed like that till Jim cleared his throat quickly they pulled apart.

"Thank you for my card sweetie, You two better be heading to school" he smiled

Barbara nodded giving her Dad a quick hug before they made their way out the door.

"So, did you get Jason a sexy card?" Dick asked teasingly waggling his eyebrows

Barbara let out a laugh "No, just a simple 'Happy Valentines day' card. Honestly, I probably put more thought into yours and my dad's cards" she admitted

Dick looked at her as they continued down the sidewalk toward Gotham academy "What do you mean by that? You guys have been together for over 2 months now"

Barbara shrugged "Nothing really"

Dick looked at her indicating that he wasn't buying it

Barbara let out a sigh "Don't get mad"

"Okay," Dick said leerily

"Lately I've been considering breaking up with Jason. He seems like he might be using me" she admitted

Dick narrowed his eyes "He's using you?"

Barbara shrugged "I don't know, maybe? The first 6 weeks we dated were great but ever since then whenever we are together all he does it want me to tell him about what my dad is up to, what my dad's expectations are or asks me to tell my dad things he is doing to impress him. I think he's hoping by dating me he will get promoted in the department quicker" she pulled on the straps of her backpack and looked down at the ground.

Dick gritted his teeth and clenched his fists together "That little piece of- "

"Dick!" Barbara cut him off "You said you wouldn't get mad"

He rolled his eyes and let out a breath "Fine"

"And please don't tell my dad or Bruce, I don't need anyone else knowing" she informed him

Dick nodded "Just promise me you won't let this relationship go on longer than it should"

Barbara nodded

There was a beat of awkward silence

They were nearing the school "Since you told me something I'm going to tell you a secret that I nobody else knows yet" he smirked

She looked at him "What is that?"

Dick sat on the bench patting the spot next to him for her to sit, she moved and sat beside him.

"Alright now spill" Barbara ordered

Dick grinned grabbing her head and pulling her ear close to his lips "I'm Robin" he whispered into her ear

Barbara let out a laugh before shoving him lightly "You Jerk"

Dick laughed "Oh come on, ever since you found out the big secret I have been nothing but an open book to you my dear" he winked

Barbara rolled her eyes "Oh really, then why is it that I have to hear from girls in the locker room what a wonderful kisser Dick Grayson is"

Dick shrugged "That's not a secret I just don't kiss and tell. Why are you jealous?" he waggled his eyebrows

Barbara shook her head "Why would I be jealous of something I've already done"

Dick smirked "I've come a long way from our closet kiss and can do a lot more then what our quick lip peck on my birthday was" he defended

Barbara smiled "I guess I'm just going to have to take your word for it then" she reached up ruffling his hair

They both laughed and sat back on the bench "I wonder how Wally and Artemis' Valentine's day is going" Barbara thought out loud
Dick shrugged "Knowing Wally he forgot" he let out a chuckle

They both gave each other a look "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Barbara rose an eyebrow.


In Central City, Wally West woke up to a facetime call from his lovely girlfriend

"Morning Babe," he said groggily upon answering it

She smiled finding his sleepy face cute "Good Morning handsome, how are you?"

Wally rubbed his face "Well I'm glad you called, I think I must have slept through my alarm" he grinned as stood up, walking toward his closet to pick out a shirt "So what is the meaning behind this Facetime call? You usually just text me" he said as he casually looked in his closet for a shirt

There was a pause "Please tell me your joking"

This caught Wally's attention he looked back at the phone and shook his head

Artemis let out a sigh "Wally, its Valentine's day"

Wally threw his head back "I'm such an idiot" he dropped the shirt that was in his hand. "Arty I'll call that Italian restaurant you like so much and make a reservation right now" he assured

Artemis shook her head "They probably won't have anything available" she pointed out

Wally frowned

"Hey, it's fine it's just another day," she said nonchalantly

"How did I get so lucky to land you babe? I swear I'll make this up to you" Wally grinned picking his shirt back up and sliding it on

Artemis smiled at the scene "Oh believe me you will, I better get going I'm almost to school. See you in the cave this afternoon"

"Bye Babe Happy Valentine's day" Wally smiled blowing her a kiss

Artemis pretended to catch the kiss and put it in her pocket "Happy Valentine's Day Baywatch".


From the corner of the school's courtyard, Barbara and Dick stood off to the side, out of view to the students who were getting off the bus

"There's Artemis" Barbara piped, spotting the girl stepping off the bus

"No flowers" Dick pointed out

"Or Balloon" Barbara added
"Or candy and card" Dick nodded

"He forgot again," they said in unison.


It's two months later and the team is in the cave, Robin is pacing impatiently at the door of the Med Bay.

"Robin, why don't you sit down?" Zatanna spoke softly

Robin whipped his head around to look at her "Don't tell me what to do" he barked

Zatanna's eyes widened along with Mgann's who was standing next to her

"Why don't you two take Conner and go for a walk on the beach?" Waly suggested resting a hand on both girl's shoulders

Reluctantly they nodded and went upstairs to find the clone

With the room now empty Wally cautiously approached his friend "Rob, I'm sure she's okay"

Robin's head turned to look at him "How can you say that? Batgirl was missing for 3 days! Mad Hatter had her for three days, do you know what kind of sick twisted things he has a history of?"

Wally let out a sigh "Yeah I might have read up on him a little when I found out she had been captured" he admitted

Dick nodded "Then don't tell me to calm down, the League has her in there and won't tell me anything about her state. You have no idea how it feels for the girl you- "Dick paused "For someone who means a lot to you to be in the hands of someone dangerous for days and you have absolutely no idea whether or not they are safe"

Wally rested a hand on Dick's shoulder "Your right, and if Artemis was in the same situation I'd probably be acting the same way you are, but just think positively"

Dick flashed him a half smile, it was weird, he had grown so much in the past two years that Wally and he were the same height now

Just then the doors to the med bay opened causing Robin to jump, the boys were met by the smiling face of Wonder woman

"How is she?" Robin immediately asked

She gave him a smile "Your friend is strong, she will be fine."

Dick let out a small sigh of relief

Hal and Batman came to the doorway "You may visit with her" Batman's voice boomed before he brushed past them, the rest of the league followed suit

Quickly Dick made his way into the Med Bay, Wally followed close behind "Babs" he sighed when seeing the girl sitting up in the bed. Wearing some loose sweatshirt and sweatpants.

She smiled at him "Hey Dick" she said quietly Dick hurried over to her bed sitting across from her and pulling her into a hug. As he did so he lifted her up gently and placed her on his lap so that he could pull her closer.

"Did he hurt you?" Dick whispered in her ear

"A few cuts and bruises and some typical Mad Hatter stuff but I'll be okay" she assured patting the back of his head while they still hugged each other

Dick pulled back slightly, "Batman said you got a good-sized stab wound?"

She nodded "On my hip" she explained while still seated in his lap

Keeping his eyes locked on hers, although they couldn't see each other's eyes past the sunglasses, Dick reached up under the sweater and gently ran his thumb over the stitches on her hip

"I'm so happy your okay" Dick sighed dropping his head into the crook of her neck

Wally stood leaned up against the doorframe, admiring the scene

"Did I miss something?" Artemis asked appearing next to him

Wally looked down at her and grinned "Nah, he was just worried about her is all"
