Dick Grayson sat near the window of his bedroom, looking out at the city of Bludhaven in the night. He just finished his patrol and as usual he dealt with the bad guys, the criminals, putting them away in cells, etc. but at the same time there was still no sign of Barbara. It broke the man’s heart that he could not find her and how much it worried her father Jim. Every chance of a lead to Barbara went to a dead end but he could not give up…or was it too late already? No, Dick could not think about the other scenarios, because that would be stupid, Dick knew better than that.
He was in his night clothes about to go to bed so he can get up early tomorrow, back to work as usual. Then suddenly he heard a knock on the door and Dick asked himself, who would want to see him at this time of night? Putting on his robe, Dick left his bedroom and walked to where the front door was. Looking through the door window hole, Dick stopped for one second and looked closer…no…it couldn’t. Opening the door quickly, Dick’s eyes opened wide once he saw this person, he could not believe it. “Barbara?”,he asked and boy he wished this was no dream, that it’s real.

Barbara had been gone a very long time. She couldn't tell you what happened, but she had been between a rock and a hard place. She was lean, and she had done things that would make the Joker's skin crawl, if that gives any insight to how her life had been in the last few months. Constantly running for her life, sleeping in back allies, in all reality she didn't even remember why. But she had never stopped thinking of Dick. Not once.
She had gone to his apartment. She needed to see him. She had finally found her way back to Gotham. She wasn't going to leave again, but she was afraid to confront her father... But she needed to see her lover. The only man she had ever had solid feelings for. The man she hoped hadn't given up on her, and she prayed that it would be him at the door and not a girl clothed only in one of his shirts. That would kill her.
She reached the door and knocked on it lightly. She hoped she wasn't too late for the night. She was fearful that he had gone to bed and was about to just leave when she heard the lock click. She waited and smiled ever so faintly when she saw it was him and not the evil girl from her imagination. It took her a moment to find her voice. "Hey..."

With one hand, Dick raised to Barbara’s face to feel it, just to make sure that it was no dream. As he touched her face, Dick felt her skin…this was real, not a dream. Hearing her say hey, Dick shook his head and smiled a bit. “Barbara!”, he said as he hugged her, feeling all of his girlfriend, and sighed before he looked at her again. “You have no idea how much I have missed you Barbara…I missed…everything about you…until this moment”, he told her softly as Dick slowly leaned in and kissed the red head, feeling his lips onto her own lips, something the man will never forget.
The kiss between them was slow and felt so good for Dick but he didn’t want to push it onto Barbara. So he stopped the kiss and just looked at his girlfriend. “Come on in Barbara”, he told her and motioning her to come inside so the two of them can just talk. Dick looked at both sides, and there was no one else but just him and Barbara, but she had a lot of explaining to do. It drove Dick nuts that he could not find the red head and wished she never went away from everyone. Maybe it was something else that was bothering Barbara so Dick had to figure it out.

Barbara smiled faintly at his hand on her cheek. She smiled again at him when he pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms tightly around him, feeling his body pressed against hers. She missed that feeling. She knew she had lost a good twenty pounds due to undernourishment, but she had hardly noticed. She felt his lips on hers in the next moment and she kissed him with all of her passions and desires for him. She held him close until the kiss ended, which disappointed her.
Barbara looked at him and smiled, slipping into the apartment. Seeing the couch almost made her drool. Something soft to sit on. She smiled and looked at him, taking his hand and pulling him to it, flopping back on it and sinking into the cushions. "Dick, I missed you every day. Not a moment passed that you were not on my mind. Not a single day." She whispered, looking at him. Her emerald eyes were slightly distant as they hadn't been before. She didn't want to explain it at all...

It was no surprise to Dick of how Barbara felt about sitting on a couch, enjoying to feel of it, instead of where she was all this time. When Barbara sat down, Grayson heard all about her missing him every day and how he was on his mind. Dick smiled a bit but he had to do this and just let it out as he sat down next to the beautiful red head . “Barbara…I missed you too…you know that…but you were gone…you ran away from me, your day…and everyone”, he told her as he looked into her eyes, taking her hand and giving it a soft squeeze. “There were even times where…I thought you were dead, you were gone forever and I would never get to have the life…we were mean to have together”, he admitted as he sighed, it never felt good for Dick to say that but he had too.
“Why…why did you leave Barbara? Was it something…or someone that was after you? Someone trying to hurt you?”, he asked his girlfriend. “You know that you can tell me anything Barbara, I am here for you and I am not going to leave you…remember that”, he told her softly as Dick kissed her knuckles softly while looking up at Barbara and listening to her. If someone is after her then Babs was not alone, Dick and the others would help but Barbara should not have ran away. There was no excuse to run…like a coward and maybe that was too harsh but it was the brutal truth. Bruce never ran away from his problems and sat in corner like a loser, he went out there and showed no fear against anyone. But Dick was not like Bruce in every category to be honest.

Barbara sighed and looked away from him ashamed. He was right, she shouldn't of run... But they had threatened her with Dick's life. She wouldn't allow that. She couldn't. Not then, not ever. She sighed and kept looking at the ground, she was afraid of how he would react to all she had to say. So she began her story:
Someone had figured out who she was, and who Dick was, but only the two of them. They had figured they would get less resistance from her, so they confronted her when she was on a trip to the grocery store. The day she vanished. They made her do horrible things to keep Dick safe. She didn't regret any of it, keeping him safe was all she cared about. She was living on garbage and scraps, living in back allies. She had killed to survive, and eventually when she had had the chance, she killed her captors, then came back to Gotham, and came right to Dick.

Barbara told Dick her entire story as the adoptive son of Bruce and Hailey Wayne could not believe it. The people responsible kidnapped Barbara, made her do horrible things…and in the end she got rid of them. That was good but was it enough to kill them? Babs knew better than to do that but she had to survive, to make it in this world, to live so that Barbrara can see another day. Her story though made Dick disgusted, not at Barbara but at the ones who harmed her, he sighed heavy…before he it the table with his bare fist, so full of rage and anger. How dare they!? They had no right to ruin Barbara’s life, to make her miserable, and Dick should have been there to save her, to be the savior that she loved so much. Dick looked at Barbara and sighed again.
“I am so sorry Barbara…that I was not there…to…rescue you…from those bastards. They should of never hurt you baby…”, he hugged Barbara and closed his eyes, resting his head on his chin. He looked up at Barbara again and tears were started to flow down his eyes, he was crying, he shouldn’t have done that. The man is a warrior as Nightwing, so strong and courageous, like a bolt of lighting, but Dick Grayson was just a human being, no super powered hero, just a regular human being. “Oh god Barbara, I am so sorry, I…I let you down”, he told her. If those bastards were still alive, Dick would burn them to the ground just like he would burn down Tony Zucco for killing his parents but Dick would never kill. Bruce taught him that most importantly, to not go down that path, because there is no turning back.

Barbara jumped when he smacked the table. She was frightened, and jumped slightly at every sound. She didn't like it. Not at all. She sighed and looked at him, hugging him back tightly. She kissed his shoulder, tears rolling down her own cheeks. She looked at him, and shook her head. She brushed his tears away lightly with her thumb, it was rare she ever saw him cry. "No....I let you down....and Bruce...." She whispered, looking at him. There was a slight longing in her eyes. A longing for him and only him. "Some of the things I was forced to do....I wish I could forget....I don't deserve your love with all that I've done." She whispered, still looking at him. "I....failed...." She whispered.

“Barbara Gordon…don’t ever say that”, he said to her softly. “Don’t ever say you don’t deserve my love because of what you did…I don’t hate you…I don’t despise you….we are not all perfect…but I know where my heart belongs…”, Dick cupped her face and looked into her yes. “To you”, he confirmed to the daughter of Jim Gordon and the hero as Batgirl. “You are one of the reasons why I kept on fighting every day, why I couldn’t stop thinking about you or giving up on you…because of one thing…hope. You showed me that hope is alive everyday and that I could not think otherwise”, he told her as Dick brushed away the tears from her face with his thumbs so softly and not rushing. He did not like to see his girlfriend so sad and upset, thinking that she failed everyone.
“You…you Barbara are my guiding light. While I grew up, living under Bruce and Hailey, they taught me how to fight and how to be a good, and responsible person, something my parents could not do…because they have passed on. When I first met you…I feel in love…and started having feelings…I could never forget the day we admitted our feelings…deep down inside I…I felt alive…not just because of the people in my life…but because of you Babs”, he said to her so sweet, like someone who could write a song about the person he or she loves, pouring the heart and souls out. “You Barbara are my guiding light, my guardian angel…my protector…my love”, he told her before he whispered in her ear. “Let me be your hero”, he whispered in his ear softly.

"But it's true..." She whispered in a deflated and defeated tone. She looked at him, glad he still cared for her when her world was falling apart. She looked at him, more tears rolling down her cheeks at every second. She felt so weak, and she was. She had broken the one rule. Several times... It would haunt her forever, and she knew Bruce would never forgive her. Ever.
She listened as she spoke. Her heart swelled with love for him. She agreed with everything he said, feeling the same for him. He was the only thing that ever kept her going when there was nothing else. She whispered something too softly for him to heat and leaned forward, kissing him with more passion than ever before.

Dick heard her whispered something and at first he could not understand it but at the same time, Babara kissed Dick with passion. It caught him by a surprised at first but Dick went along and kissed Barbara back too, with passion. He missed this with Barbara, when the two of them would make out in private, when they would go out from time to time to just be themeselves, and now theye were here in the flesh. What would Dick do without Barbara? What would he be? Like Bruce? So cold and ruthless, almost losing control? Grayson was glad it didn't come down to that situation as the man broke from her lips to air, but continue to kiss on her neck softly then looking back up at her.
He sighed before speaking. "Stay with me...for the night" he told Barbara softly, and it was almost like he was pleading to her. Barbara was a grown woman, doing whatever she wants, but what if something like the last time happens again? Dick could not deal with that, with all the guilt, all the pain, the suffering, it was almost too much to handle for the first time. "Stay with me until the morning and I can take you to your father's place...but for right now...just stay with me...let me taking care of you Barbara", he pleaded to his lover, his girlfriend, but there was more that he wanted. Dick Grayson wanted Barbara in a very loving way...one which no one would never forget."If you don't...I understand",he told her, not trying to put the pressure on Babs, she's been through so much.

She loved the feel of his lips on her neck. She loved him. She missed all the things she loved like his lips pressed against hers. In all honesty she could have, and would have, kissed him until she was blue in the face, but he pulled away. She looked at him, taking a few deep breaths, trying to regain what she had lost.
She looked at him when he begged her to stay. She grabbed his hand, letting him talk, letting him beg for her to stay, and promising to bring her back to her father. "Dick, you only had to ask once. I'll stay with you forever. You don't have to take me home. I want to be with you."

The little flying grayson inside of Dick was so gitty like a little kid all over again, jumping and flying over many times. Barbara's words showed how much she loved him and she even wanted to stay with her lover. "You have know idea how that makes me happy since you said that Barbara", he said to her and in his voice, he was so excited and glad that Barbara is back. This time she was not going anywhere, he could see it in her eyes. Dick took her other hand, and giving it another soft squeeze.
"You know something, we have a lot of changing around here to do since you want to be with me forever...but we'll manage...we can take on anything...it's just us against the world", he said to her. Dick and Barbara knew they had obstacles in front of them, now that they are back together but they have enemies, not just in Gotham, or Bludhaven but all around. They were used to it and it was nothing new because they are a force to be reckon with.

Barbara smiled, seeing the pure happiness in his eyes. She softly kissed his lips. "I made myself pretty happy too." She grinned at him, placing her hand on his shoulder in a loving manner. That's what she did, she loved. Him.
She smiled. "As long as we're together, nothing will stop us." She whispered into his ear, smiling like a fool.
(Ugh short)

Dick looked at the time and it was getting late, as he looked at Barbara. "We should get to bed, it's almost late Babs and we got to get up early so maybe we can head over to your place, get your stuff since you're moving in with me", he told her as Dick took her hand as the two stood up from the couch. Leaving the living room, the two of them went to Dick's bedroom which is officially their bedroom now, they could whatever they want, they had no one to stop them. They are what a couple should be, in love and happy.
