Falling into Gotham (Dick Grayson Fan Fiction)

Chapter 13

 I told Zahra the good news after my well deserved nap. She didn't believe me at first, then I lifted a cup off her desk and she almost fell over backwards. We squealed and hugged each other. I spent the afternoon lifting things and spinning things for her entertainment. She was looking so much better. Her swelling has gone down a lot and her arm casts have come off now. All she has left is her leg cast but Cyborg said that should be off in a couple of days with Z's help.

"Do you think your powers will work back home?" Zahra asked as she watched me spin my phone in the air.

"I hope so, I could get so much more done from my bed that way." I dropped my phone on her bedside table.

"God, I can't wait to go home. I miss my parents so much." She hugged her pillow to her chest. I sat next to her on her bed and patted her back. I understood completely, I miss my mother everyday that I'm here. "I even miss going to class, seeing our sisters, and those stupid frat parties we used to go to."

I laughed. D9 parties were no joke, once I got lifted by a Que Dog and barked at when we went to an Omega Psi Phi house party. I shiver at the thought, never again.

"You miss the over aggressive lip licking and eye contact while they stroll shirtless and sweaty?" I joke.

"To be honest, yeah." She said straight faced. I stared at her in shock before we both bursted out in maniacal laughter. We laughed like that for a hot minute before someone interrupted us by knocking on the door.

"Oh, that's probably Vic." Zahra brushed back her hair with her hands and did a breath check on herself. She hopped off the bed and straightened her shirt out before rushing to the door. She opened it slowly and with a shy smile, "H-hey Vic."

"Hey Zahra," He said with a smile. He looked over her head and gave me a wave as well. "Hey Angela." I waggled my fingers back.

"What's up? Do you wanna come in? We can finish the episode of Law & Justice we started yesterday if you want." Zahra opened the door widely and gestured for him to enter. Oh, so they've been hanging out alone lately huh?

"I would love to. But I just came to invite you guys to the state fair later on today. It's a bit of a Titans tradition to go to the state fair every time it's in town." he said.

"Oh! Um, I'm not sure..." Zahra trailed off. She looked back at me and with nervous eyes.

"Who's going?" I asked.

"Well, I think Karen, Donna, Garfield, Wally, Raven, Dick, Damian and maybe Roy."

"You're not going?" Zahra asked him.

"No, I have too much work to do here. Plus the whole cyborg thing really attracts attention."

"Oh, I don't know then..." Zahra gnaws on her bottom lip. Aw, she's so cute with her little crush on Cyborg.

"Don't miss out on my account. It'll be fun and the group is nice. They wanna get to know y'all." He softly smiles down at my friend while she contemplates in her mind.

"Hm, maybe. I guess I'll think about it-"

"We're going." I interrupt. I could tell she wasn't going to go anywhere once she learned Cyborg wasn't going to attend. But she needed to leave this room for more than just bathroom breaks and showers.

"We are?" She squeaked.

"Yup, we are."

"Even though Damian is going?" She asked.

"Yeah, even if he's gonna be there, we are going. Gotta get out of the room at some point and the fair is a great way to start. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to try and be friendly with the team. They are letting us stay here after all."
