Make It Wayne

Day 1: First Impresion

-Barbra-

    "Wow..."was the first sensible thing that popped in my head, "God I forgot how glamorous this place is..."

    "It is good to see you within its walls again Miss Gordon." Alfred rested a hand on my shoulder.

    "Please call me Barbra..."

    "Goodluck with that..." a husky vioce made me look up to the grant staircase only to find Bruce Wayne decending it.

    "I...er..." I stutterd and mentally slapped mysef across the face.

    Focus Babs!!

    "H.hello," I squeeked." Its an honor Mister Wayne..."

    "None of that Barbra. Four years changes nothing,please call me Bruce." He gave me the charming billjionare smile,the smile I assumed he used on every girl he meets.

    "I am honored...Bruce...," it felt strange calling him that but it send shivers down my spine none the less.

    This man is so intimidating...

    "Miss Gordon, if you would follow me,please. Your room is this way."

    Alfred guided me up the stairs and what I saw at the top made my heart ache.

-Dick-

    She had stopped in her tracks at the sight of me, shock on her face. She looked like she saw a ghost.

    "Take a picture Babs, it lasts longer..." my words seemed to snap her awake and before I could blink I was engulfed in one of Barbra's famous waist hugs.

    "Okay okay I serender..." I said and she looked up with tears of joy in her eyes. This was defnatly not the reaction I was expecting.

    Alfred cleared his throat and Barbra finally let me go.

    "Sorry..."she mumbled and we followed Alfred to one of the many geust rooms. The one she would be using was closer to the study then the rest. Bruce I assume didn't want her to close to the boys.

    I leaned in closer and whispered into her ear,"Its nice seing you too Babs."

    I saw a smile spread across her face.

    Maybe it could be like the old times...or maybe...just maybe more...

    Just as Alfred had left us alone Barbra sprang into a monologue.

    "Look at you... did you drink a growth potion. Wow you're taller than me now..."she chuckled.

    God I have missed that...

    "You are all grown up too. Geeze who knew you were ment to become a woman after all." I received a punch on the shoulder. It surprised me how hard it was.

    We sat down on the Queen-sized bed and catched up on all the blank spaces in our lifes.

    She still smelled like roses...and she had that spark in her eyes...

    Does her lips still taste like strawberries though?

    She was still same old energetic Barbra Gordon. Without thinking I leaned in and started kissing her...

-Barbra-

    "And then there was science..." I was caught of gaurd as Dick's lips pressed against mine. For a second I was paralysed for a moment but then instantly pushed him away.

    I stood up from the bed and went to stand by the door. I wasn't ready for another heartbreack.

    "I'm sorry..."he said softly," Its just..."

    "I understand,"I interupted before he could finnish," I just don't want to go down the same road twice."

    Dick smiled and crossed the room. He brushed his knuckles down my face," I geuss I just missed you."

    I smiled,"I missed you too."

-Bruce-

    I was in my study once more this time sitting behind the desk looking at the pictures of the boys, but one spesifficly had caught my eye. It was the one of Dick's sixteenth birthday. Barbra was standing next to him looking streight at the camara blushing the same colour as her hair.

    "Dinner is ready, sir," I looked up, my face in a neutral expression, to find Afred standing in the doorway.

    "I'll be down in a second."Alfred left and I placed the photo face down before leaving the study and the pile of paperwork behind.

    When I enterred the dinning room I found Barbra being bombarded with questions by the two young boys seated across from her. Dick had seated himself on her right. If I took my usual seat at the head of the table,I would find myself on Barbra's left.

    "Tim, Damien, I think Barbra has had enough questions fom the two of you..."I said as I sat down a smile on my face. At first I thought having a geust was going to be a disaster but since its only her I couldn't see anything wrong happening.

    "Its okay Mister...er I mean Bruce..."she said nervously looking down at her food.

    "So Barbra, tell me, are you still taking part in gymnastic competitions?" I said to ease her more up as I cut into my meat.

    "I stopped last year...its only my second year in collage but I don't think I will have time for that too. I do volentering at the Local gym though but since its the Christmas holiday, I geuss they won't need me." She seem to losen up a bit but this was short lived for Dick then desided to open his mouth.

    "And isn't it great that you end up staying with us during Christmas. Bruce is having a Gala..."he took a bite of his patatoes.

    Barbra's eyes widend in horror.

-Barbra-

A GALA!!

    My insides gave a turn. I didn't know how to dance. I have never paid attention to these kind of things in life.

    I realy apreciated Bruce's attempt to make me feel more comefortable but without knowing it he was just encouraging my butterflies.

    My dreams were plagued with ballgowns and laughter aimed at me.
