Robin and Batgirl had to go patrol. The Batman couldn't because his alter-ego was invited to a dinner. However, that didn't mean that they couldn't do the job without him.
The night was quiet. It looked like all the criminals went to sleep earlier. All except…
''Poison Ivy,'' said Robin.
''Poison Ivy what,'' asked Batgirl.
Robin rolled his eyes. Who let her be the Batgirl?
''She is attacking the Wayne Industries,'' responded the boy wonder.
The duo was already near the Wayne Industries, so the road on their Batmoto wasn't long. Poison Ivy was standing there. Like she was waiting for them.
''Where is your dad,'' teased Ivy.
''What do you want,'' said Batgirl.
''I just want the world to look at my precious babies,'' she said dramatically.
The Batgirl was obviously tired Poison Ivy. She just wanted to go home, in the Wayne manor, and take a bubble bath.
''Ivy, surrender now. It will be easier and faster for the 3 of us. We all know that you're going to end up in Arkham Asylum by the end of the night,'' added Batgirl.
The Robin gave her the what-are-you-going gaze. What was she thinking about?
Stephanie had made Poison Ivy more upset that she already was. She felt something slowly wrap her left leg, but she didn't notice. Not until Damian threw a Batarang toward her.
''What the he-'' said Steph as she saw a broken batarang standing in front of her.
''Oh hell no,'' thought Stephanie as the plants went higher on her body.
Robin didn't notice the growing plants, probably too busy fighting with Ivy. It took him a while, but he took Ivy down. Literally.
''You think you saved her… Bu- But you KILLED her,'' coughed Ivy at Damian who was walking away.
''What- What are you talking about,'' asked Robin.
''My plants will kill her. Look behind you… she is dying. And I- I am the only one who can save her''
''And you will,'' said Damian. He looked like his father. He was scary like his father.
''Why would I do that,'' asked the women.
''Because if you don't …,'' started Damian. But he wouldn't have to finish his sentence because Ivy fainted.
''Damn it,'' thought Damian.
He ran toward Stephanie who was covered with plants. He took a batarang and started to cut them. He found a half-alive Stephanie.
''How can you be that stupid, Fatgirl,'' whispered Damian.
''I- I'm sorry,''caughed Stephanie.
''Don't talk,'' said Damian, while taking Batgirl in his arms.
He would have made anything to keep Stephanie alive. He held her thigh against his chest. He felt her heartbeat. It was slow, to slow. He needed to get to the batcave, and now. He drove fast toward the cave. He didn't want her to die.
As he run in the batcave, he putted her on the table.
''Hey,'' said Dick. ''How was the-''
''She's dying,'' said Damian.
''Damian, calm down''
''HOW CAN I CALM DOWN GRAYSON, SHE IS DYING'' screamed the new boy wonder.
''She's not dead yet. Calm down. I'm going to take care of this,'' slowly said Dick.
Damian slowly steps back. He was furious. Furious because she was stupid. How can she be that stupid? Damian walked away, letting Dick take care of Stephanie. He always told her that he hatted her. But now, at this very moment, he would have given everything to tell her that he liked her. Yes, he liked her. But she was going to die.
Stephanie woke up. She wasn't in her Batgirl uniform. And she was in the Batcave. By her side she saw a young man who was in sleep, his face hide in his arms. She tried to sit on the bed she was lying on, but she was too weak.
''What are you trying to do,'' said the young man.
He putted his arms on his lap. Stephanie could see a face. Damian's face.
''I'm trying to get out of this bed, little D,'' said Stephanie.
''You are not getting gout, Brown''
Brown. It has been a while since Damian used her name. Something must have happened. Something that had affected him.
''Damian''
''Yes, Fatgirl''
''Thank you. I mean, if it wasn't from you, I would have died. Thank you''
''You welcome,'' said Damian.
Damian got up from his chair. It had been a while since Damian got up from this chair. He only leaved her when it was necessary. Not even for school.
''Damian,'' whispered Steph.
''Yes, Brown''
Damian eyes were bright blue. They were shinning bright. Because she woke up. After a week of coma, she woke up.
''Can I have some waffles,'' smirked Batgirl.
Damian laughs. Not a fake one, a real one. He was happy because she was alive.
''You're amazing,'' laughed Damian.
