Hiya!
I've been busy, and finally got this chapter on! Ok, it's the scene you've all been waiting for…my tweaked scene with Robin and Batgirl. It's short, but it shows romance brewing. (In Dick's point of view) And you're all probably wondering how I got this so precise to the episode. To answer that, I just went to YouTube, and watched the episode there. It is so cool, they have all episodes from season 4 (no new ones yet ) on there! It is kind of hard to write these kinds of stories. (Pause episode, write, pause episode, write…:) Well, hope you enjoy!

Batman and Robin once again went back to Arkum, to see Professor Strange, who was pasing in his cell.
Batman told Robin to stay in the shadows, where Strange couldn't see him, so it looked like he was alone.
Strange saw Batman's shadow up on the wall. Turning slowly, he said, "Tell me, Batman, what do you see?"
Batman looked up. A cloth shaped like a bat hung over Strange's chair.
"That you're still crazy about me, Strange. Now, how do I save everyone?"
The Doc sat down on the chair.
"And rob myself of the chance to peer behind the mask at the moment of the Batman's greatest defeat?" said Doc, smugly.
"You wanna see behind the mask? Give me the antidote, and I'll remove it."
"Of course!" said Strange, hands folded in a contemplated posture. "You first."
Batman's eyes narrowed.
Robin, looking on by the doorway, and listening to every word, didn't notice someone coming up behind him. He looked behind his shoulder, to see Batgirl attack! He didn't even have a chance to yell to batman, didn't even have a chance to breathe. His shadow disappeared from behind the doorway.
Batman didn't even notice that his partner was now gone.
"The truth is, you saw me spill my last sample."
"Last sample? So…there's more antidote! Where is it, Strange?"
"It's true, I once had a small quantity of it stashed away for my experiments, sadly, last week, an orderly found it. I believe it is in police custody now. Feel free to borrow it. Of course, with all those zombies running around, I don't think I'd want to go there and feel comfortable into that neighborhood" he looked behind from where Robin was standing. "alone."
Batman realized it. He looked behind to the doorway. Dick was gone.
"Robin!"
"We're finished here, Batman." Then he yelled, "Guards! There is a bat in my belfry!"
The zombie came out of nowhere, attacking Batman. He threw gas at them and left.
----
"Robin!"
Silence.
"Robin? You gotta wake up!"
Dick's vision was blurry.
"Wake up, Boy Wonder!"
It was Batgirl, looking down at him. No wait…one…no, two…no, three…he was seeing too many doubles.
He felt her hand slap his cheek a few times. He also felt her keep it there. Even though it was gloved, it felt soft against his face.
He blinked. There she was, her normal self, not a drone. Inside, he felt very relieved.
"And he's back!"
Dick felt his head. "Oh! Where am I?"
"Gotham hospital."
He looked at her again. "I'm glad you're not a drone anymore. I was really worried about you!"
Oops. How embarrassing! His face turned red, realizing what he said.
Batgirl smiled. "I was worried about you too!"
Then, before he knew it, she pulled him in for a hug.
And he had to admit, he melted. It felt so good to see her again, just herself. No Batman, no villains, just the two of them.
They stayed like that for the longest time. Robin felt a wave of emotions. There was one he had never felt before, though. What was it? He tried to think, but he couldn't place it.
But it felt good.
Finally, Batgirl let go all too soon.
"I'm so glad you're OK!" she sighed in relief.
"Wait…I'm OK? You were the zombie!"
"Zombie?" Now she was confused. "I was never a zombie, you were."
"What?" this didn't make any sense to him. Seeing his puzzled face, she explained.
"OK, Alfred told me about you guys about going to see Strange, right? Well, I guess he must have hit you with the toxin."
Robin remembered. That yellow liquid that Strange dropped!
"Through your eyes, you saw everyone as zombies. In my eyes, I saw you as a zombie. That's why I tried to handcuff you."
He blushed. "Sorry about that."
She smiled, making his stomach flip. That never happened before.
"And that's why I attacked you back at Arkum. I brought you here for the doctors to examine you. They found the toxin in your tissues, and managed to make an antidote."
She handed him a spray bottle of orange liquid.
"Which is why we have to move fast. Batman is still a drone, and Strange gave him the real toxin. He's going to release it into the city!"
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
He got up and grabbed her hand, and they both ran out of the hospital.
Just to let readers know, I got the "First Date" idea from watching part of this episode, and "The Breakout" (Black Mask episode) Don't you think they should have totally added my tweaked scene? It would make it so much more interesting for us BGXR fans. Keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing!
