The Archer | T.D. ✔

Chapter Thirty-Seven

The two weeks that followed were some of the hardest in Rory's life, her body had slowly gone back to normal and she no longer had the symptoms and was back to patrolling every night with the rest of the bat family. 

She had informed the others of her discovery that Penguin was working for Harley and Ivy and not with the. Everyone had seemed pretty impressed until she told them how she got the information.

"You basically piggybacked off our suit coms and cams? What the hell Rory?" Jason cried. 

Rory rolled her eyes. "Did you forget that I created an impenetrable software that kept all of you out in a safe house that the supposed greatest detective in the world could not find? I graduated high school in two years, not just anyone can do that you know?" 

Jason crossed his arms and looked at Tim, who was sat next to her and sipping his fifth cup of coffee that day. "Your girlfriend is terrifying, she hacked into our suits so she could spy all around Gotham and picked up on things we didn't.  Please don't piss her off, I don't want to be on the receiving end of her rage." 

Tim chuckled into his cup. "I make it a habit to not piss her off, the last time I did that it didn't end well." 

Dick looked up and at the two of them. "What did you do, and what did she do to you?"

Rory had a smug smile spread across her face. "Do you want to tell them, or should I?" she asked.

"I took the last of the waffles one morning after breakfast, and she wasn't very forgiving. Rory switched the coffee to decaf and made sure no regular coffee got in the mansion for three days," he explained.

"Did you learn your lesson Dragon Boy?" she grinned.

Tim rolled his eyes playfully. "Yes dear, I did." he leaned over and kissed her cheek.

The last two weeks were a little rough for them, after a baby scare they didn't know what to do. Things were a little off about them, so Tim had decided to take her on a day date one afternoon. They had spent the day walking around Gotham as they hit various tourist stops before he took her to a hotel where he had rented out the penthouse suite for the night and treated her like the queen he thought her to be.

After that night, things were more normal for them. They still kept the PDA on the down-low, but they actively showed their affection for the other in the things they did throughout the day. Rory would pop in every so often with a fresh cup of coffee for Tim and food while he took the time to just relax and talk with her.

Damian faked a gag as Tim kissed her cheek and Rory turned her gaze on the young boy. "You got a problem there Dami?" she asked.

He crossed his arms with a huff. "No, just not a fan of your signs of affection Sonnet." he snarked.

Rory grinned and raised an eyebrow at him. "Is that so?"

Damian looked at her, not liking the look on her face. Before he could make a run for it Rory quickly got up and wrapped her arms around him hugging Damian close to her chest as she pressed kisses all over his face.

"Help! I'm being held captive against my will!" 

No one made a move to save Damian from Rory's affection, making the decision that it was good character building for him. Rory laughed as Damian tried to squirm out of her arms.

"Unhand me you heathen or you will face my wrath!"

"It's really hard to take you serious Dami, you never follow through on your threats with me." she grinned and let Damian go as he wiped all over his face.
