Mar 22, 2006 00:27

Title: Suspicions
Author: Marcelo
Rating: PG-13, with PG18ish overtones.
Fandom: DCU, Gotham
Characters: Dick and Tim


Dick and Tim are on a rooftop. Tim's gripping a small cylindrical evidence container in one gloved hand.

"Give me that container, Robin."

"No."

"Listen, I'm as amused as always by your impression of the Big Guy, but you need to give me that container."

"No."

"I know how close you were to Cass, and with Shiva working for O, things... Listen, I understand. I'm freaked out, too."

"I'm not freaked out."

"... Alright. I'll even believe that discovering that somebody is selling criopreserved fertilized ovula of Shiva isn't the creepiest thing you've ever seen, because I know what you've been through. But give me one reason why you should keep them instead of storing them at the Cave."

"Dick..."

"Or destroying them."

"Dick."

"Or -here's an interesting idea- returning them to Shiva, who happens to be the mother."

"Dick."

"One reason, Robin. Just one."

"I have reasons to believe I was the sperm donor, Nightwing."

"..."

"..."

"... So, you were lying about not being freaked out of your mind."

"Yes."

"Good. I'd hate to be the only one."

.finis.

ETA: In case you wonder, I have at least two different scenarios to explain Tim's worries. One: Tim's original trip to Paris was more eventful that what we were led to believe before. Two: Shiva made her arrangement with Canary, but Tim thought wise to... reinforce it anyway. Shiva had an idea or two about that (no, I don't think Shiva is much into sex at all - but Cass' abilities must have surely given her a renewed interest on the whole idea of kids, and we do know that she holds Tim as relatively interesting...). There are also "Three" and "Four", but they get really wacky.
