Gotham
March 27th, 21:16
Batgirl was sitting on the rooftop when she heard "Having fun?"; she turned to see Robin smiling at her.
"Hay Dick" she said smirking in a low voice.
"Okay I get it you know my secret identity and I don't know yours" he said then went to sit next to her "So can I ask how?"
"Let's see; your always late to school; the bags under your eyes that shows you haven't slept all night and the fact that you are probably the only one who uses the word 'astrous' freely" she said.
"Thank you Batgirl; now I know who you are" he said.
"And how is that?" she asked putting her right hand to her hip.
"How many redheaded; skilled in martial arts and Gymnastic; our ageed females that can handle going to Bruce's Gala. Face it... you're busted Babs" he told her.
"Looks like you caught me; Pixie Boots" she laughed.
"Don't call me that" but she laughed harder "so since we figured out each other's identities; tell me why?" he asked then she stopped her laughter.
"I told you why" she answered.
"You weren't clear about it" he said.
"I think I was"
"Babs; come on" he looked at her "What is it?"
"You promise you won't laugh?" she asked
"Promise"
"It's because of mom; once she left with my brother at first I thought she left because she hated me and didn't want anything to do with me and my father; but then I found a paper hidden in my drawer that said 'It's not you Barb it's me; I don't want to live in fear anymore; terrorized of what will happen next to Gotham' she said".
He nodded his head as he let her continue; "most of GCPD officers aren't good enough and they don't care so I wanted to be like dad; to be able to help but dad didn't let me so this is the second best way" she said.
"I'm sorry" he said "Well for me; after my parents died and Bruce took me in; I figured out he was Batman and wanted to help him so no one would go through what I did" he said.
They sighed in unison; "Look I know you mean good and all but-" he was cut off.
"But what Robin?" she snapped "You two say that it's because I'm untrained but if that was the case Batman would have trained me himself; I will do this with or without your 'approval' Dick" she yelled then she stood up to leave.
He stood up and hulled her by her shoulders and said "Barbara I just don't want to see you getting hurt".
"I'm a big girl I can handle myself" she said.
"If you think what Joker did to us was the worst then you are wrong, Babs I don't want you risking your life like us" he said.
"Then talk to Batman; let him train me and help me get better" she said and with that she left.
