It feels so good to be home for once. Not that I didn't mind my stay up in the Watchtower. It... was nice to get out of the confides of the tower, but yet, I still missed this place
( Read more... )
Robin had heard that Barbara had been released from her bedrest in the watchtower and had returned home. He decided to pay her a visit. He appears in her city via pinpoint and makes his way over the rooftops. Finally reaching the Clocktower, he fires a bat-grapple and swings across, landing on the window sill and raps gently.
She thinks he's Tim? Well he did modify the costume of Tim from his world to fit him since the "pixie boots" costume was preserved in a glass case. He grins and decides that this is too fun an opportunity to pass up. He knows the voice would give it away so he just nods yes.
She smiled. "I'm glad you came by actually. maybe it'll keep Bruce off my back knowing that you're here 'watching after' me or something." She waved her hand passively as she rolled her eyes.
"Would you mind shutting that wondow, Tim? it's a bit drafty in here already."
She made her way into the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Um... i can't offer too much. I need to go shopping. Did you want some clam chowder...? I know it's cold out there. At least this can warm you up."
Barbara snickered slightly at his comment. Oooh, how that just sounded far more interesting.
"I'm sure I'll learn to adjust to your-- uh-- I mean YOU." she winked over he shoulder. What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she get her words straight?
She grinned. "Only me? Hmm..." She grabbed a wooden spoon and stirred the soup int he pot. "Well, I'm glad you came by anyway. I've.. been thinking about you.
"I miss you when you're not around. Seems.... odd."
He looks down at her toes and sits in front of her wheelchair, cross legged. He takes his gloves off and takes her right foot gently and places it in his lap and starts to give her a foot massage. He looks up into her eyes with a soft soulful gaze.
The entire time, her eyes never left the gaze of his own. She was overwhelmed, completely happy.
The moment that was passing was truely one of those moments that should have been captured by Kodac film or by a Hallmark card. As such was the moment.
She smiled. "Dick...? WOuld... Would you help me stand?"
She knew she wasn't supposed to push it. but she wanted to try it-- at least for a moment.
Dick nods and brings the sole of her foot up and places one small kiss in the center of it before putting it back down. He stands up and leans down beside her chair to allow her to put her arm over his shoulders as he wraps an arm around her waist.
"Hey, Babs." I announced from where I was at, a light grin on my face while noticing a window pop up in front of me on the screen; she was there, naturally.
...Someone was with her, apparently. Question is, who would it be, and why this late?
"How's things going back home? Had to let you know something I should've told you before I did this-I'm out at Keystone City for the time being."
It was Tim. This time the REAL Tim Drake. She turned off her voice synth, knowing it was alright to speak to him with ehr true voice. it was only certain people under certain occassions that she used it with now.
She made sure to smile so it would come up at least a bit over the com. "Things.... are..." she looked back to Dick. "Going well. I've got some news to share with you, Tim. I think you'll be pretty excited to hear it."
She raised an eyebrow. "Whoa-- Wait a minute? You're in Keystone? You're there with Bruce?"

"Computer. Visualization." she called out, adjusting her com set.
She rolled her way over to her console and checked the moniter first. She raised an eyebrow.
"Tim...?"
Making her way over to the window she unlatched it, pushing it open. "I didn't know you were dropping by tonight, Tim. Are you hungry?"
She had no idea that the boy in the Robin suit wasn't her Tim Drake.

How long has it been since she's been able to feel ANYTHING down there?
She wiggles her toes just slightly in response. "I can-- muh-- move my toes--?"

She continues to hold onto Dick, but adjusts her com with her free hand.
"Computer. Open accesses and place on speaker." she commands. "Identify set-- Oracle."
She had no idea who was calling in. She needed to take the call. "Go ahead."
