Dick rushed into Gotham General with Tim and Artemis hot on his tail, his eyes frantically scanning for any sign of Bruce or Jim Gordon. Artemis and Tim were standing anxiously behind him, Artemis checking over her shoulder every few seconds waiting for Wally to appear after they had called him to inform him of the accident. The rest of the team waiting at the watch tower not wanting to risk blowing Barbara's secret identity.
"Richard" A voice finally called out.
"Bruce." Dick's voice was full of grief as he head to where Jim, Bruce, and Alfred where waiting. The Commissioner's face was buried deep in his hands as he murmured to himself shoulders shaking with silent sobs.
"How…How is she" his voice shook as he asked.
"It's not looking good Chum" Bruce answered his voice soft and comforting, "Her injury it was sever. She's lost a lot of blood and there's been a lot of damage, even if she makes it she…she'll be paralized."
"Where is she" Dick managed to choke out.
"Surgery, they're doing all they can Dick" Bruce offered his tone still soft and comforting, but the underlying message was there. She might not make it and there was nothing any of them can do.
"I have to go" Dick murmured turning on his heel and walking away from the small group that had gathered. He let his feet guild him as he walked through the hospital halls, his mind a blur of all the things that could be happening. The entire time a silent chant of 'don't take her from me' repeating over and over in his head.
"Dick" A voice eventually stopped his wondering as a familiar red head grasped his shoulder.
"How is she" he asked without acknowledging the other.
"She's out of surgery, I…you should go see her Dick she needs you" the voice answered.
"I can't lose her Wally" Dick replied voice pleading. Wally didn't answer didn't make a move to reassure him that everything would be fine, he just looked at his friend, his brother with sad worried eyes.
"I'm sorry" Wally finally managed squeezing the young man's shoulder.
"Can you" Dick questions.
"Yeah" Wally replies and leads him to Barbara's room, in the hall stands the small group he had earlier abandoned.
"Go on" Wally tells him encouragingly.
Dick takes a deep breath and enters the room. Barbara is laid out on a stark white hospital bed, her skin unnaturally pale, she's connected to all kinds of tubes and wires, bandages were just peeking out from under the blankets.
"Watch over her for me will you Dick" The commissioner asks simply as he gets up from his chair next to her bed and leaves. Dick takes the empty chair numbly grasping her hand.
"Don't take her" he finds himself begging to whoever is willing to listen. "I'll give you anything, just don't take her"
He gets no response, no bolt of lighten, no mighty voice tells him everything will be okay. His plead is only meet with silence, and soon he finds himself lost in memories.
"Bruce you can't be serious about letting Bab's become batgirl." A fourteen year old Dick complains as he follows his mentor and father through the batcave a pout on his face.
"I am and why wouldn't I" Bruce asked his eyebrow raised in mild amusement.
"She's a girl" Dick blurts out.
"So is Artemis and M'gann" Bruce answered back trying to hide his amusement at his young ward's argument.
"Yeah but this is different" Dick complains knowing he doesn't have a valid argument.
"Dick are you sure or is there a different reason behind not wanting Babs to be batgirl, like maybe you have a crush or something" Bruce's questioned in a teasing tone.
"Forget it Bruce you win" Dick huffed as Bruce smirked watching the teen storm off.
"Haha Boy Wonder that three for three" Babs bragged from her perch atop him.
"Who says I wasn't letting you win" Dick smirked slightly and Babs realized the precarious position the are in just before he leans his head up and captures her lips.
"Did you enjoy yourself Babs" Dick asked her as they walked out of the movie theater hand in hand.
"I did" Babs smirked.
"Good" Dick said as he pulled her into him and kissed her.
"Give me all your money" a voice suddenly called out. Dick pushed Barbara behind him as a man pointed a gun at the pair.
"Look we don't want any trouble" Dick said calmingly reaching into his pocket and pulling out his wallet throwing it at the man.
"Her too" the man pointed his gun at Barbara.
"I don't have any money" Barbara replies.
"Bull Shit" The man yells out pulling the trigger.
Dick moves for the gun at the same time, the sound of a round being fired reverberates though the alley followed by Barbara screaming and the mugger taking off.
"Dick" Barbara calls out as she rolls Dick over his white button up stained with crimson, his eyes closed.
"Oh God Dick, Oh God please be okay" she cries only to be interrupted by laughter and her eyes widen.
"Dick?" she questions as his body shakes with laughter and he just stares at her with amusement.
"Haha sorry. It's a scratch, it just grazed me. I'm fine" he says looking down at where the bullet grazed his ribs.
"You…you…you DICK" she hits him. "I thought you were, why didn't you get up"
"Ow that was mean." He complains rubbing his head.
"I'll show you mean" she says going to hit him and he just laughs harder.
"Batgirl what were you thinking you could have been seriously hurt or killed" Nightwing yelled as she wrapped her bleeding side, ignoring his own injuries as he reprimanded her.
"That I was doing what I had too to complete the mission" She yelled back the entire team witnesses to the couple's argument as they flew back to the cave aboard the bioship.
"Are you kidding me you were being reckless and where putting the mission and entire team at risk not to mention yourself." He screamed.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize rescuing you the teams' GOD DAMN LEADER was reckless" She yelled back
"MY GOD DAMN LIFE ISN'T WORTH YOURS" He yelled back.
"It is to me" She responded her voice barely above a whisper.
"Do you Barbara Gordon, take, Richard Grayson, to be my lawfully wedded husband/wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." The priest asks as Barbara stares into Dick's eyes and he stares into hers.
"I do" Barbara answers smiling.
"And do you Richard Grayson, take, Barbara Gordon…"
"I do" Dick answers cutting off the priest who smirks and the young couple's eagerness.
"Then I know pronounce you…"
Again he is cut off by Dick leaning forward and capturing Babs lips as all their friends and family cheer.
A hand lightly squeezing his pulls him from his memories, his eyes meeting her clear blue ones.
"Bab's" he cries out tears streaming down his face.
