"Dad?" Barbara called, as she entered the apartment with Dick trailing behind her.
"I'm in the kitchen," Jim Gordon replied.
Babs and Dick headed in the direction of his voice. The Commissioner looked up at their entrance and seemed slightly taken aback at Dick's presence. Barbara ignored his expression and decided to launch right into the conversation.
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you."
"That sounds ominous," Jim replied, warily.
Barbara took a deep breath, before saying, "I'm Batgirl."
The Commissioner of Gotham Police blinked slowly at his daughter. His Daughter, who had been one of the many vigilantes running around Gotham for years, putting their lives at risk, and she hadn't told him.
Barbara waited anxiously for her father's angered shouts., Dick standing tensely beside her.
They never came.
Instead, she was wrapped in his arms.
"I'm proud of you," he whispered.
Babs smiled into his shoulder, "Thanks, Dad. That means a lot to me."
The Commissioner then turned his attention to Dick, "You knew about this?"
"Ah, about that..."
"Dick was Robin," Barbara explained, "The first one. He's Nightwing in Bludhaven now."
"I always thought there was something going on between you two."
Dick smiled sheepishly, "There's, ah, something else Babs has to tell you."
He glanced at Barbara, who came to stand besides him.
"I found my soulmate."
"You did?" Jim exclaimed, "Who is it?'
"Me." Dick replied, simply.

Wally stared at the cryptic message:
"Pls come to Manor. Have something to tell u."
He hated when the Bats got cryptic.

He arrived later that afternoon and headed straight up to Dick's room at the Manor. He hadn't seen Dick for the last two years, as he had dropped completely off the map. He wondered why he had resurfaced, and what news he had.
He did indeed find Dick there, and greeted him with a long overdue hug. After the usual pleasantries, and Dick explaining where he had been, they got down to business.
"I don't think I ever told you," Dick said, "That I have a soulmark."
"Dude! No, you never told me. What is it?"
Dick showed him.
"But, I can see it," Wally stated, "Who is it?"
"Guess."
"Uh, Zatanna?"
"No."
"Kori?"
"No."
"Bette?"
"No."
"Who then?!"
"Batgirl."
Wally stared at him.
"Of course it is."
