From Batgirl to Oracle and from oracle to Batgirl

A chance

One year later

Dick's POV

I heard a knock, I went, opened the door and found Bruce.

-Hi, Bruce, what brings you around here?- I asked

-I need to talk to both of you- he answered, showing no emotion as always

After a while we were settled up on the living room.

-ok, so Bruce, what did you wanted to talk about?- I asked

-I wanted to talk to Barbara, actually, but there's no harm in you listening,- he said-ok, I'm going to get straight to the point, Barbara, there might be a chance to get your legs back- Barbara gasped, she squeezed my arm so hard it hurt, and that's saying something

-Lucius informed me, and strangely his son was decided to test it on you-

-Luke, why?-I asked, I looked at Babs confused, she just giggled 

-Luke's still worrying about me?- she said to Bruce -how cute, but tell  him we're not getting back together, please-

-Back together?- I asked-what did I miss-

-nothing, just that when you were with the alien, I was with Batwing- Of all the batfamily members, she had to pick my opposite, great great great.

-anyway- she said, and turned to Bruce- what are the chances of getting my legs back?-

-30% of success- he said-and 20% of failure-

-What are the other possibilities-I asked, cautiously.

-Of dying- he said

-There's no way that's happening!- I yelled at him

-Dick you have to understand-

-I don't have to understand anything!- I growled at him, I was about to keep going until I felt Bab's hand on my arm

-Dick, it's my choice to make, not yours-

-But, fine-I said

-I'll think about it, Bruce, than you-She said and with that Bruce left, and she turned towards me

-Dick, I know you care about me, and you're trying to protect me, but, sometimes, I have to take some risks, as you say: What's life without a little risk-she said

-Yes, but, I... just... can't let you risk your life like that-  

-And why can I let you go alone every night? Have you ever thought how it feels like every night that you go on patrol? Let the love of your life being at danger all night?-She practically yelled at me.

-I'm sorry, Babs-I said, feeling a little guilty- but I hope you make the right decision-
