Dicks POV
Babs held the door open for me, gesturing for me to enter her apartment. It's been a while since i've been here. But the place hasn't changed a bit.
"Your father working?" I asked.
She replied with a nod. I already knew he wouldn't be here. He's never here, which is understandable. Being Police Commissioner is a twenty-four hour job, especially in a place like Gotham.
Babs walked into the kitchen.
"You hungry, I'm always starving after school."
"No thanks, I'm good Babs."
I did not have an appetite. Not with what I'm about to tell Barbara. I should really just get it over with.
Barbara walked out of the kitchen with two apples. Even though I said no to food she still chucked one at me anyway. I caught it and immediately sat it down on the table beside me.
"So, I still want to know. What's going on between Katie and you? What's so bad that you can't say it in public?" She questioned.
I took a deep breathe.
"Okay Babs, you might want to sit down for this."
She pulled out a chair from the table and sat down, taking a bite out of her apple.
"Okay.......Alright........Babs....................I'm Robin."
Her facial expression didn't change. Instead she just simply took another bite from the apple.
Not quite the reaction I was expecting.
"Babs. I'm Robin." I said again, thinking she hadn't heard me.
This time she looked up at me.
"And?" Was all she said.
I stared at her, dumbfounded.
"Okay. Maybe this hasn't fully sank in. I. AM. ROBIN." I said slowly.
She just smiled at me.
"Dick. Thats old news man."
My eyes widened. "You knew?"
"Pffft. Please, I figured it out years ago."
"YOU KNEW!" I exclaimed.
She just laughed.
"Yeah. And Bruce is Batman and Katie is Ocelot."
I just stared at her. I couldn't believe it.
"Wh-bu-I-huh?" I stumbled.
"I figured you'd tell me eventually, which you did." She shrugged.
I pulled out a chair and sat down. This was too much. She's known for years. How? What gave me away?
"Do you need some water? Your face is really red." Barbara asked.
I looked at her.
