Loving a ghost

Return

-"You are kidding right?"

-"Do I look like I'm joking to you?" 

The truth is he looked serious but his sayings were crazy.. Thought it was a joke..

-"N-no.."

-"Ha ha am I that scary now ? That making the great Barbara Gordon stutter ?"

-"Don't be ridiculous."

-"Is that it ..okay then.. So what do you say?"

-"Not going to happen Todd.. You may have changed but even your charm comes to an end."   

-"Come on, you know you want revenge on the guy."

I did...Just like all Gotham. But I promised something No killing. Yea even him. I gave them my word, they helped with all the requiems and generally became a strange like family. Can just betray them like that. I answered..

*sigh*

-"I'll what..I'm   gonna help you.. Find him and beat his sorry ass.. But I wont kill him, I made an promise and I'm not going to brake it. Deal?"

-"Very well, even tho I'm sure that when you will see  him you will change your mind.. His face just..  You know."

-"Aha..."

Barbara stand up and turned looking away to the distance ..

-"What's the matter bae ?"

-"Good all that but.. I have to return.. As you too... They will ask about the two battles with the 'Strange man' what am I going to say ?"

-"Pretend you don't know what are they talking about, say that you remember hitting your head somewhere and you wake up in the place of a friend."

-"You know I'm gonna face four detectives at once and lets face it, I'm not that good at lying."

-"Try it. Trust me.."

-"I don't know.."

-"Please..?"

He looked her in her eyes, goddam it those eyes.. He looked like a puppy ready to cry. I know not the best example but you just couldn't say no.

-"Alright... I will try."

A low smirk can be seen in his face.

-"So when you say you are going back?"

-"Now."  

She turned to get in and out of the door to her house. That smirk had gone.

-"Oh, so soon."

-"Yep. Well I hope you are right and that works. Wish me luck. " 

-"Hah.. You don't need luck Babs.. You have the skills.. Luck is a bonus to some ones and a bitch to some others.."

-"I will remember that.. Bye.."

  -"Bye."

Walking down Gotham center

A hand reaches out and grabs her shoulder.

-"Wait!"

My blood froze.. I know that voice.. Why his here.. God why now! Every time I needed him he was with that goody-goody alien.. I know.. 'Mean' but when I was crying all alone no one gave a shit.. But that an other story...

-"D-Dick..?"

-"Barbara! Where were you?! "

-"At a friends house (?)"

Please tell me he will believe it .

-"Okay..But why didn't you answer my calls and texts?"

-"I aa.. Was unconscious .. I probably hit my head my head somewhere.."

-"While wearing the cowl?"

-"N-no.. My friend told me he found me unconscious lying down in the street.. I must fell into a tree ..maybe  I was running.."

-"And you sure that your 'friend' is all honest with you?- Who's name is ?"

-"Yea! And his name is J-J- Jake.. yea.."

-"Aha ..So his .."

-"Yea his a boy.. Got problem with that?"

-"Me?! No but Barb you look a little nervous.. Are you sure alright?"

-"Yes, yes see you in a while.. I have to go.. Bye."

-"Bye."

Gordon's House

I open the door, Dad is in the kitchen its Saturday so he isn't working. He hears the keys at the lock and by the time I open I get in he is standing in frond of me.

"Dad.. I can explain.."

He hugs me.. Then pulls back and takes that "Little-Girl-You-Are-So- Grounded "face.

-"Where the hell where you?"

-"At a friends house-.." 

-"Again with that Grayson kid?"

-"No-no I was with Jake from collage.. We had a project."

-"Alright, but that doesn't explain why you weren't answering the dam phone.."

-"Actually our project had to do about the 'Human Reaction '.. So we thought doing that.. We wanted you to not know so we have a natural reaction of panic.. and it worked.. Yay.. "

*sigh*

-"Barbara you know I always tell you to give the best you have.. but sometimes you over do it.. Just next time try something not that risky okay?"

-"Yea ..Sorry dad.."

-"You must be hungry.. I can pancakes if you want."

Phone rings.

 Incoming call.

Must be him..

-"Um, no thanks but I'm kind of full.. Sorry I have to take this"

-"Hello?"

-"Hey, how did it went with your dad and Dick? Did they bought it?"

-"Yea the-..Wait how you know with who I spoken?"

-"Look out your window.."

He was right there! Across the house ..Smilling.

-"O my god Jason! What are you doing ?! Stalking me?!"

-"Woah calm down .. I just wanted to make sure you were safe."

-"I didn't need to have you keep me safe I could it and by my self." 

-"I know.. I didn't did it cause you need it .. I did cause I wanted.. 'k princess.."
