Gotham had come to look so pristine that it felt mind boggling to almost mistake it for Metropolis at least from the air. He had left for good instead he went off the grid in Bludhaven and sure enough somehow Barbara found him despite how well he hid from her. She tells him she gave it up too, but of course her father had finally retired too leaving Detective Montoya to ascend as Acting Commissioner until someone more permanent steps in otherwise it will all be on Renee. Bullock's history kept him bound to a desk when not going out on patrol or raids occasionally.

"What happen with Tim?"

"He is still there for now, but Alfred is barely able to keep behaving like it is the usual."

"Nobody could think it is usual anymore, not with all the Rogues brain panned."

"Joker had almost gotten Tim that night, but Batman got in his way. However Harley used that ribbon gun on him. He was still working to cut himself free as Superman broke through the roof and instantly burned two holes into the clown's forehead."

"I heard the two of them had it out after the fact, but doing that would seem pointless. I just couldn't believe Bruce would let him do it to all of them. I mean he did have that sliver of kryptonite in his belt, but of course you could not stop the Man of Steel indefinitely."

"Each time one, two, heck even once they teamed up trying to kill Batman."

"Each if they could still speak would have an almost got him story."

"It didn't matter exactly in what order it went down, but it happen."

"The last time I saw him, he wouldn't even pull down the cowl."

"One can only wonder he looks like under the mask now."

"Probably like hell if there is even a pinch of feeling left in him."

"I don't think it's the lack of feeling in him, rather he is feeling too much to work out."

"We could have stayed, but what kind of difference would it have made?"

"We would just be risking ourselves against Superman, I mean if he is willing to burn holes in people we used to call villains, what would he do if he thought we should get the same?"

"I guess we might never know… but I miss being with you Dick. I mean I know we had a falling out after we both learned about the other's night life, but that does not mean I stopped loving you."

"I know Babs because I still care for you too, just to be back at the party years ago with you in that long flowing blue dress."

"You remember that number do ya?"

"Yes I do, maybe it still fits you."

"Guess we'll have to find out some time, but for now come here."

He wraps his arms around her as they share a tender moment under the moonlight.

A/N: Some may know something went on between Bruce and Barbara given that one scene from Mystery of Batwoman and in dialogue from a conversation between an older Barbara and Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond. As this is the Lords reality again I bend it to be slightly different by degrees. Also while neither of them was in JL or JLU, this does take place in Bludhaven which appears in the episode Grudge Match. It is also a what if possible moment for them to get back together maybe.
