"It's good to be…" Becky muttered as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and looking at the house in front of her, could she call it home? Can she? After everything that's happened.

"…Home?" Tim asked as he gently placed a hand on her back to try to edge her forward, Becky nodded and smiled as she made her way up to the house, Bruce who was already home opened the door to welcome the teen home.

"Hey.." Becky said as she walking into the mansion she couldn't help but feel tense as she and the others sat in the living room, Alfred had brought tea and cookies in but Tim was the only one to touch them.

"…So" Bruce spoke up, "Becky…since your going to be staying here…for good…" he looked up at her and smiled, "We though you might like to be registered in school?"

Becky's cup stopped a hair from her mouth, "Really?!" she asked, "…Yes!"

Bruce smiled at her reaction, "I'm glad your happy" he nudged Tim with his arm, "Tim here, will be your guide to Gotham High"

"The public school?" Becky asked, she figured Tim would be going to a private school, "..Bruce I don't know how to thank you.."

"There is no 'Thanks' needed" Bruce smiled, "This is a gift" he nudged Tim, "He'll take you shopping in a few days, or if you want we can just order from the store"

"No, no" Becky smiled, "I'll be happy to be on my feet again!" she paused a moment, "Can we avoid the mall?" she asked, "I'm not ready to go their yet.."

A silent moment passed over them before Tim spoke up, "don't worry about it, I know a few little stores around the city"

"That's good"

The three talked for a good while afterward, until the news came on, "Hey..is that Barbra?" Tim asked pointing at the screen, sure enough Barbra Gordon's picture was plastered on the screen.

"In other news, local of Gotham city Barbra Gordon, 20 has been accepted into Gotham's police department daughter of James Gordon it look likes she's following in her father's footsteps!"

"That's wonderful" Becky exclaimed as she focused on the screen not noticing the look Bruce and Tim shared, they just lost a Batgirl.

The distend sound of a phone was more then expected after the news, "It's most likely Barbra" Bruce said as Alfred went to get it, "She must be very happy"

"I would be" Tim said as he flipped through channels, "I mean this is what she's always wanted" he stopped on a reality TV show and smiled when Alfred returned he told them Barbra was having a party and would love if they could come.

"When is it?" Bruce asked as Alfred sat back down, "Is it soon?" Alfred nodded.

"Will I be able to go?" Becky asked, "I would love to see Barbra again"

"I don't see why not" Bruce told her, "When is it Alfred did she say?"

"Next week, Master Bruce"

"I think I'll be able to make it" Becky smiled as she stood up, "I think I'll head to bed now…I'll see you guys in the morning…promise" she added as she headed to the steps.

She had to admit, she missed her room as she fell back on her bed she smiled to herself, "It's good to be home.." she muttered.


Down, in the cave Bruce sat with his head resting on his folded hands, "It's to risky, Tim" he said after a moment, "We can't tell her"

Tim, who was practicing with a dummy stopped and sighed, "She'll found out sooner or later!" Bruce sighed and turned back to face the computer.

"Not if were careful" he told him as he searched for any new traces of the Joker or for any crime happening, "She'll never know" he insisted.

Tim sighed, "She will find out" he muttered, "Leaving in the middle of the night, absent from school" he turned to face Bruce, "She'll find out…she's smarter then you think!" he paused, "She…recognized my voice.." he admitted.

"What?"

"….I…when I caught her she called me 'Tim'….I don't think she put two in town together yet…"

"Hopefully she never will"

"It's to risky! We need to tell her"

Bruce sighed, "We can't, Tim" he turned back to the screen "….And if she does find out…we'll deal with it then…"

Tim wiped his forehead and went back to training, "What about Barbra?" he asked trying to get off the subject, 'What are we going to do without a Batgirl?"

"We'll mange" Bruce told him, "I'll miss having Barbra around but we knew it was never permanent" Finally finding some wrong doing that involved the Riddler he and Tim suited up and went out.


Becky tossed and turned in her bed finally giving up on sleep, she stood up and walked over and opened her window, "It's a warm night.." she muttered she looked down and saw that she could easily walk out on to the roof.

She pondered for a moment before slipping out and sitting herself down overlooking the city, it was beautiful at night the lights made it look like some Broadway Show, she sighed and brought her knees to her chest.

"It's so pretty at night…" she muttered looking up she noticed the Batsignal in the sky, "…Wonder what's going on…" she muttered as she stood up and crawled back into her window, she left it open as she crawled back into bed.

Unknown to her a vine was quickly growing up the side of the mansion and as soon as it reached her window it bloomed a flower.


I'M SO SORRY. I MEAN YOU ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD I FEEL.
