This Is My Future

Chapter 18

Dick's P.O.V

It was almost two in the morning. I took one last walk through of the garage making sure everything was secured so Artemis and Robin were safe.

I turned off the light and walked to the main room. I found Artemis at the computer, her head was down on the keyboard and she wore pajamas that I had gotten for her.

I frowned and walked over to her.

Her eyes were closed, her good arm was under her head, and her breathing was calm.

"Sleepy head," I whispered with a faint smile.

I approached her and gently pushed her back so she layed back on my arm, I slid my other arm under her knees and lifted her up.

She lulled her head onto my shoulder, groaning softly.

"Shh," I hissed softly and carried her to her medical bed. I layed her on the bed and pulled the blanket over her, being careful of her arm.

She let out another soft groan and I rubbed her shoulder.

I looked up when Tigress walked in.

"Hey kitty," I said adjusting Artemis's pillow.

"Hey..." she said and walked to Robin's bed.

Robin was passed out on the bed in pajamas I bought for him. He was curled up in a ball, laying on his side.

"Everything's locked up," Tigress told me.

I nodded.

Tigress pulled the blanket onto Robin. His bangs slipped over his closed eyes.

Tigress smiled and pushed his bangs back. Robin surprisingly didn't wake up.

"Y'know," Tigress said. "I always liked seeing little you sleep."

"Well that doesn't sound stalker-y at all," I chuckled.

"You know what I mean," she said defensively.

I watched her as she bent over, leaning on the bed and propping her cheek up on her fist.

"He's so cute," she said. She looked at me, "You used to be so damn cute...what the hell happened?"

"It's called puberty, it does the opposite to us men that it does to you women."

"Wrong," Tigress said with a smirk. "It makes us hot, not cute."

I rolled my eyes, "Are you ready yet?"

"Almost." She kissed Robin on the cheek, "Ready."

I looked at Robin's cheek, seeing a dark red splotch on his cheek.

"Oops," Tigress wiped his cheek gently and the color dissappeared.

"When did you get lipstick?" I asked.

"Remember when you and tiny you were in the middle of that three hour long fight?"

"Which one?"

She thought a minute, "Nevermind. While you two dopes were fighting I took Artemis shopping and I found some good stuff.

"At least you guys are getting along..." I sighed.

Tigress shrugged, "It's pretty weird though..."

"That's what I was telling myself while I was resetting a past girl's broken arm."

She nodded and headed for the blocked exit. I followed her flicking off the light as I slipped into the steel hallway that separates the main room exit to the outside of the building.

We walked out and I punched in the lockup code.
