"You want me to what?" Dabria asked with a sigh. She was lying on her bed on her back, holding an open book above her head. It looked like an uncomfortable reading position but Tim wasn't going to say that.
"Train with us. Bruce... Insists."
"No thanks." Dabria said. Tim didn't leave though.

He had been trying not to think this for the past couple of days and he would certainly never admit it out loud but... Dabria was cute.

"He's dealt with other people who had difficulty controlling their powers. He knows a thing or two and if you let him see what you're capable of, he'll be able to understand your powers better and be able to help you understand them better." Dabria frowned and looked away.
"Is he going to make me wear tights?" Tim laughed.
"No. You can come as you are." Dabria took a deep breath and stood.
