A double storyline to introduce two of the best DC Comics characters ever.
The Cause Behind the Cowl
Prologue-
The school 钟, 贝尔 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? 更多 homework?"
"Nah!" the teen replied. "I just wanted to say hi!"
"Well now you've 说 it. Go." Barbara said, slightly irritated.
"Someone is certainly not feeling the aster."
Barbara groaned and started walking away. Dick followed.
"Why are 你 following me?" she asked.
"Why did 你 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 更多 day, I'll lose my highest honors."
蝙蝠侠 glared at him.
Dick sighed. "What is it?"
"The Team is heading on a mission to Santa Prisca. They need someone who knows Bane." 蝙蝠侠 said.
Richard had ducked into an abandoned hallway, but he still had to be careful.
"Then why don't 你 go along?" he asked.
"I'm with the Justice League on Tarin IX." 蝙蝠侠 replied.
"And what about the state 晚餐 tonight?" Richard asked.
"The usual." 蝙蝠侠 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 你 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 你 the whole truth."
"Why not?" Barbara asked.
"One: 你 hate me. Two: I can't tell anyone." Dick said.
"Ah, I see." Barbara said.
Dick groaned.
"Can 你 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 你 one!"
"I'll hold it to you, Dickie." she called after him.
Dick grinned and stepped into a bathroom, his school 衬衫 off and his Robin one quickly replacing it.
