Wayne Manor
March 28th, 17:38
"Hey; what did you get for number 20?" Dick asked as he and Babs were about to finish their homework.
"Sorry; that would be cheating" she smirked.
"It's not cheating; I'm just checking my answer, besides it's the last question" he said in a defensive tone.
"I thought you were the genius between us" she said mocking.
"Would you do it for two extra Alfred cookies?" Dick asked.
"Make it four; its double or nothing" she said.
"Deal" he said.
After they had cocoa and cookies…
"Okay so how do you get to the Bat Cave from here?" Barbara asked as she and Dick went throw the house; and then stopped in front of an old grandfather clock.
"Here" he gestured to the clock as she raised an eyebrow; suddenly Dick opened the glass and turned the knob and the clock slid revealing an entrance to the Bat cave; they went down stairs and saw Bruce on the computer in his Bat suit but his cowl was off.
"Hay Barbara" Bruce said not turning away from the computer.
"Hay Mr. Wayne; so are we good?" she asked.
Bruce turned "you just need to know three rules" he said.
"Number one: No killing; criminal or not" she nodded.
"Number two: if you had to make a choice between saving a civilian or capturing a villain; go for the save" Barbara nodded again.
"Number three: no telling secret identities to anyone unless I say it's okay" he finished and this time she said "I won't let you down Mr. Wayne".
"One more thing…" he said and Barbara looked at him "…Call me Bruce if we are alone" he continued with a slight smile; and she nodded her head for the third time this evening; and she and Dick went for the sparing.
"Do you want me to go easy on you; newbie?" Dick smirked in a challenging tone.
"Just try to keep up; Pixie Boots" she said accepting his challenge.
"I told you not to call me that" Dick said.
"Since when do I ever listen?" she said.
They counted to three and jumped at each other; she was trying to hit him but he was blocking her every move; they fought for a while; even not noticing Bruce had left; until he pinned her to the ground "Told you I'll win" he said.
"Fine I'll let you stay the winner this time" she sighed.
"I don't really think you have a choice" he said then tightened his grip on her arms.
"You just wait pixie boots; I'll beat the crap out of you after a couple months" she said.
"Keep convincing yourself that" he told her smirking; then they laughed.
Then Alfred came knocking on the door; they backed away from each other once he came and then Alfred said "Miss. Barbara I just needed to inform you that your father will be here anytime soon".
"Thanks Alfie; I'll be right up" Barbara said "See you later; Dick" and with that she left.
