The Cause Behind the Cowl
Prologue-
The school chuông, bell rang as the students filed in. Barbara Gordon closed her locker and turned to see Dick Grayson smiling at her.
Barbara let out an exhausted sigh and turned to the boy. "What now, Richard? thêm homework?"
"Nah!" the teen replied. "I just wanted to say hi!"
"Well now you've đã đưa ý kiến it. Go." Barbara said, slightly irritated.
"Someone is certainly not feeling the aster."
Barbara groaned and started walking away. Dick followed.
"Why are bạn following me?" she asked.
"Why did bạn talk to me this time?" Dick asked.
Barbara sighed and groaned again. She desperately tried to think of an answer when another girl walked up.
"Barbara? You're going the wrong direction. English was changed to Room 307!" the girl said. She glared at Dick before snatching the Police Commissioner's daughter away.
Dick sighed. At that moment, his phone rang. Batman's face appeared on the screen.
"No. No. No. And no." Dick began. "I'm in school. If I skip one thêm day, I'll lose my highest honors."
Người dơi glared at him.
Dick sighed. "What is it?"
"The Team is heading on a mission to Santa Prisca. They need someone who knows Bane." Người dơi said.
Richard had ducked into an abandoned hallway, but he still had to be careful.
"Then why don't bạn go along?" he asked.
"I'm with the Justice League on Tarin IX." Người dơi replied.
"And what about the state bữa tối, bữa ăn tối tonight?" Richard asked.
"The usual." Người dơi said.
Dick sighed. "Fine. I'll get Alfred to send in a note that I'm sick."
"Good. Kaldur will be glad to-"
"Grayson?" a voice cut through the air.
Dick slammed the device closed and began coughing terribly.
"Don't even." Barbara said, walking around the corner and putting her hands on her hip, leaning her head slightly to one side. Even upset, mad, and inquiring, she still looked hot to Dick. "Who we're bạn talking to about the Justice League and a state dinner?"
Dick opened his mouth but Barbara interrupted him again.
"Don't lie to me."
"A friend in a high place." Dick responded, saying each word extremely carefully.
"I told you-"
"I didn't!" Dick exclaimed. "I'm just not giving bạn the whole truth."
"Why not?" Barbara asked.
"One: bạn hate me. Two: I can't tell anyone." Dick said.
"Ah, I see." Barbara said.
Dick groaned.
"Can bạn say I'm sick today?" he asked.
Barbara opened her mouth, a fiery expression in her eyes, but slowly closed it before nodding.
"Thanks, Babs!" Dick said, running off. "I owe bạn one!"
"I'll hold it to you, Dickie." she called after him.
Dick grinned and stepped into a bathroom, his school áo sơ mi off and his Robin one quickly replacing it.
