So first off this story is somewhere between T and M there is some language so if that offends you I apologize.
Alright now that that's out of the way CaptainBeer I hope you like this it's some Babs being jealous over Dick. please let me know what you think and I hope that this is up to par with what you were hoping for if not I'd happily attempt another one.
So after I uploaded this last night White Bishop and shadowneko003 pointed out I made some really bad mistakes with my point of view and grammar. Hopefully I fixed that, I apologize for uploading something so poorly done. Let's just say going three days without sleep and being dyslexic doesn't help, and I know that's not an excuse. So once again I apologize and hopefully this version is better.
I don't own anything.
Thank you and enjoy.
Dick and Babs broke up once. If you were to ask them now why they broke up, neither would be able to tell you what the fight had been about or who had broken it off; however there is one thing that neither could forget.
Dick has always been a creature that requires physical contact to thrive, without it he closes in on himself and well it's just not a pretty sight to behold. So when he and Babs broke up he did the one thing he could think of to make all the pain go away, he sought out physical contact.
"Come on Babs seeing him with all those different girls night after night. That's not bothering you at all" Tim asked as he and Barbara perched on a rooftop as Batgirl and Robin.
"No Tim it doesn't" She gritted out her eyes glaring at the street below begging for some scum bag to show himself so she could hit him and maybe take out some of her anger.
"So you're just refusing to patrol with him because he's Dick not because he's being a dick by parading around with a new slut everyday" Tim accused causing Barbara to tense with anger.
"Look I just…" Babs cut herself off when she saw three men enter a jewelry store down the road "We have work to do Robin" She said quickly as she leapt off the building and towards the soon to be robbers.
"Saved by the bell" Tim murmured pulling out his grapple and following the angry ginger.
The next morning wasn't much better as Barbara entered Gotham Academy she spied Dick across the quad making out with some random girl from the grade below them.
"That's just cruel" a voice said from next to her causing Barbara to turn to see the one and only Bette Kane.
"Not helping" Barbara grounded out and continued forward.
"You know you could tell him that he's being well a giant dick and maybe apologize. I mean do you even remember what you two were fighting about" Bette offered as she hurried to keep up with the red head.
"No but he's the one being the whore not me and until he starts acting mature I want nothing to do with him." Barbara stated angrily.
"Come on Barb that's not…I mean you know how he is…do you remember how he was before you two started dating" Bette explained trying to get through to her friend.
"Yeah and I was a fool from dating him to begin with" Barbara interjected.
"Barb you don't mean that" Bette fretted, a hand weaving through her blond hair in worry.
"I do and you know what, I have a class to get to so I'll see you later" and with that Barbara stormed off.
A few hours later Barbara excited her third class of the day only to walk into Dick Grayson himself, a sad hurt look on his face.
"Hey Babs" he greeted her.
"What do you want Grayson" Barbara all but growled as she glared at him with cold eyes.
"Babs look I'm sorry we fought and I was an idiot, can't you forgive me please" he begged her, his clear blue eyes boring into hers begging for forgiveness.
"You know that's funny cause I saw you happily swapping spit with some blonde haired bimbo this morning and you seemed over joyed to being doing it" Barbara shot back before turning on her heel intent on storming away.
"Babs" Dick called out as he gripped her arm and forced her to face him once again. "I love you" he added as he stared at her.
An anger unlike any other rose in Barbara and before she knew what she was doing she slapped him across the face "Don't you dare claim you love me when you act no better than Bruce with some gold digging whore hanging off your arm every day." She screamed her face red and a fiery anger in her eyes.
With that she turned on her heel once again and stormed off leaving a dazed and hurt Dick Grayson in her wake.
Barbara did not see any sign of Dick after that and was starting to feel bad for her outburst as she drove to Wayne manor for her nightly patrol.
As she entered the cave she saw Tim and Dick sparing already in costume, as she made her presence known Tim turned greeting her with his normal exuberance while Dick merely avoided her eyes and headed off to another part of the cave.
"Yeah you really did a number on him" Tim murmured once his surrogate older brother was out of ear shot.
"I..he...um" Barbara fumbled for words.
A shit eating grin spread across Tim's face as he looked at Barbara "You were jealous" he offered.
"Fine you caught me" Barbara moaned
"Well now that we've established that I was correct from the beginning I suggest you get changed and fast. Bruce has an op set up for the three of us, while he deals with a different one." Tim offered as he pulled out his bo staff and practiced on imaginary enemies.
"Right…that should be fun" Babs groaned as she headed to the changing area. She changed quickly into her costume and reappeared in front of the computers just as Bruce appeared, now dressed as Batman.
"You three will be headed to the docks, a fear/joker venom hybrid is being distributed and I want you to stop it" he addressed them simply.
"And where will you be" Dick questioned his former mentor and father.
"Scarecrow escaped an hour ago and I need to stop him before he gets to the docks" his gravelly voice carried a hint of irritation, whether that was directed at Dick or Arkham's inability to keep its inmate's, Barbara didn't want to ask.
"Alrighty Boss man" Dick's voice sounds suddenly, its light and carefree, I miss hear that. "We'll handle the docks, you have fun with Mr. Cornfields and we'll see you later." and with that the bird themed hero is headed towards his motorcycle with Tim and I close behind.
"We're following the leader, the leader, the leader" Tim sings happily as we follow Dick out of the cave on our motor cycles and head to the city.
"You know sometimes I wish the manor was a little closer to the city" I groan out after twenty minutes of driving and just hitting the city streets.
"BG are you having a rough night" Tim teases as we finally park in a back alley.
"No I was just loving the dreamy smog floating around us on our romantic drive in" I say with sarcasm.
"Well now that that's been established let's get a move on" Dick offers pulling out his grabble and swing to the roofs above.
"Hey baby bird I'll race yeah" I say giving Tim a soft shove and taking off on my own grapple.
"Hey that's cheating" Tim yells from behind me.
"Haha I win" I tease when we finally reach the docks.
"Guys I see the warehouse" Dick informs us a few minutes later.
"What's the plan?" I ask him quietly.
"Tim, Barbara I want you two to enter from the roof and I'll enter from the front to make sure you two aren't seen right away. From what I can tell there are only ten or fifteen guys in there so it should be easy. Any questions." Dick orders.
"Nope" I say causally, trying to ignore the gilt from earlier.
"I'm ready to kick some bad guy ass" Tim cackles.
"Alright see you guys in a few." Dick says and swings off to the front of the warehouse.
"Alright baby bird let's do this" I say to Tim and grapple to the roof top. We slip in easily and head towards the main room where we can already hear the beginnings of a fight.
"Always has to be the star of the show" Tim murmurs behind me and I struggle to hold in a laugh because that's to true. However any laugh that may have been bubbling up is choke down when we finally enter the main room.
Over thirty men are currently attempting to maim Nightwing with guns, knives, pipes, and anything else they can get their hands on. As he flips and soars around them doing his best to avoid it all, Tim and I can see small trails of blood dripping from several slices in his costume.
"Nightwing" Rips from my throat before I even realizes what I'm doing and more than half of the men turn and smirk as their eyes land on Robin and I.
"Smooth" Robin moans as he whips out his bo staff and starts swinging.
"Shut it baby bird I did it on purpose" I calls over the noise.
"Sure" Nightwing adds from across the warehouse as he lands on a thugs shoulders causing the man to crumple to the ground.
"I though you could use a breather" I offer, my fist colliding with a man's jaw as he too falls.
"Not that I'm not enjoying the lovely banter but could the two of you focus" Tim calls out as he ducks under one man's fist and leg swipes another man.
"Awe baby bird do you need some help" Nightwing teases and he flips over a man so that he's back to back with Robin the two of them easily taking on the ten or so men attempting to surround them.
It's only when there is a lag in the usual banter that the Batchildren are well known for that Dick and Tim become concerned.
"BG you okay" Dick calls out as he avoids another fist, Tim throwing a bird-a-rang at the offending fist causing the thug to cry out in pain.
"Oh yeah….just loving life over hear" I grunt out. It's only then that the two of them realize several more men have somehow entered the warehouse and are attacking me!
"Go I got them" Tim says in reference to the five or six remaining men the two had been fighting.
With that Dick heads over to me where fifteen men have surrounded me. My back is turned to Dick as I hear him approaching my focus on the man that had just aimed a gun at the bird themed hero.
I'm focusing on trying to ripe it out of his grasp when I hear Dick scream out "BATGIRL" and he launches himself at me. I hear him scream in pain as he tackles both of us to the ground.
"You idiot" I scream as I scramble out from underneath him. My eyes wide at the blade sticking out from his back.
"You stupid stupid idiot" I continues to chant as I continue to fight of the remaining men. Relief rushing through me, as I see a colorful blur joins the fray and soon all the men are unconscious
"I'll get them tied up help him" Tim's voice weaving with fear as he moves to sort through the unconscious men around them. I don't need to be told twice as I returns to Dick's prone from.
"Nightwing" I beg as I pulls him close his eyes are closed and blood is seeping into a puddle beneath the pair.
"I swear to God you better open your eyes, you're not allowed to do this you dick" I cry as I shake him, fear gripping at me. And then slowly his eyes open and he smirks at me like idiot he is.
"That's not very nice" he moans out, his teeth gritted in pain. A happy cry escapes my lips at his comment.
"Don't scare me like that" I cry bringing my face close to his.
"I had to come up with a way to get you to forgive me and this seemed fool proof" he teases and promptly earns a light smack.
"Ow" he complains and lets his eyes close.
"Dick" I cry out crashing my lips against his in a kiss so full of need and want she feels his heart skip a beat.
"Babs" he mouths up at me.
"I'm sorry I'm so so sorry I should have forgiven you earlier I'm such a fool please please don't leave me" I cry out completely aware that both Tim and Bruce who had just arrived are watching me, well us.
A small smile crosses Dick's face and then he passes out, "Nightwing" escapes my lips again but it does nothing to wake him.
"Batman" I cry out as I lift him up, Bruce quickly strides across the room and lifts his son from my arms and rushes off to the awaiting batmobile.
"He'll be okay" I hear Tim from next to me but I'm too busy staring at the blood on my suit and gloved hands.
"BG" Tim urges and I feel myself take a deep breath and then look at Tim. I can see where tears have escaped from under his mask.
"Come on baby bird" I say and we take off returning first to our bikes and then to the cave.
When we enter we see screens have been set up to guard the caves med bay, a pair of shadows moving to and fro behind the screens.
"He'll be okay" A voice sounds from behind us.
"Bruce" Tim and I call out turning to face the bat.
"Tim" go get changed Bruce orders and Tim disappears knowing better than to argue.
Bruce and I simply stare at each other for a few moments before I finally find the nerve to speak up.
"Bruce I.." but I am is simply cut off.
"You have nothing to apologize for, get washed up and changed he'll want to see you when he wakes." Bruce's voice is calm and even as ever.
"But I.."
"Barbara" Bruce stops me "He's going to be fine, a mistake was made by both of you but you recovered and reacted to save him. All three of you made it home safe, am I mad yes but I'm glad you all made it home safe. So go get cleaned up and see him we'll all talk about this more later"
I nod and give Bruce a watery smile before I head to the changing room. I shower quickly not wanting Dick's blood on me any longer than necessary. Once I'm finished I change into a pair of sweatpants, tank top, and the Nightwing hoodie Dick had given me.
Once changed I exit the room and head to the med bay where Leslie and Alfred were just exiting, the Bat-doctor smiled as did Alfred.
"Master Dick was asking for you" he tells me.
"Thank you Alfred, Leslie" I offered as I entered and missing the knowing look shared by the pair.
As I enter I see Dick asleep on the hospital bed, and IV in his arm and bandages around his torso.
"Oh Dick" I whisper taking the seat next to him.
"You know usually that's said a little more enthusiastically" the former boy wonder murmured his eyes fluttering open.
"Dick" I cry throwing myself on him, carefully of course, and kissing him.
"Babs I'm sorry" He whispered as I pulled away.
"So am I" I confused "I'm such an idiot can you forgive me"
"Babs you're not the only one who made a mistake" Dick said softly wiping away my tears. "What do you say we agree to forgive and go back to being Dick and Babs"
"I think I could live with that" I agreed with a teary smile.
"Perfect" Dick said pulling me into a kiss.
