It's going to be another long night

Barbara's up late tonight. This isn't really an unusual thing for her ( Read more... )

It looks like Babs may keep the company of psychics, or maybe just men that know her very well. If she just happens to glance at the monitor for her front door, she'll spot a certain Dick Grayson, holding onto two cups of coffee. It may even be her favourite flavour.

Because he's feeling especially mature tonight, he's sticking his tongue out at the camera. Because... of course this is more likely to get him in than knocking.

Why wouldn't it?

Oh, she notices. She notices most things. And she just finished upgrading her security grid so that none of the Bat family can sneak up on her. At least not for another week.

She keys up her intercom, "I hear if the delivery takes more than twenty minutes I don't have to pay."

A week? Give Dick four days, and he'll have it figured out. He's not getting rusty yet!

"What, not even a tip? I suffered to get you this coffee."

Two whole dollars of suffering.

"Hmm..." her tone is considering, "We'll have to see. Maybe if the coffee is any good."

"Well, you'll have to let me in to find out." Dick raises an eyebrow. "Unless you like your coffee stone cold."

twiceahero March 9 2007, 19:55:26 UTC

The door clicks open, "Hurry up, then. I hate cold coffee. And if it's cold then I can guarantee that you won't get a tip."

blue_bat March 9 2007, 19:59:28 UTC

Oh, he hurries. And he's very quickly right by her side.

"Hey there, pretty lady," he greets, holding out the cup.

Barbara takes the coffee and offers him a critical look.

She sips and nods in approval. "Okay, here's a tip for you: get more sleep, former Boy Wonder. You look beat." She's grinning though.

blue_bat March 9 2007, 20:13:13 UTC

Dick can't afford more sleep. All of the hours in a day exist for a reason, and they can't always be wasted on downtime. Especially not when you're the new vigilante in a city chock-full of dirty rats.

"I'm still a couple days away from falling over," he says, with a bit of a humourless smile. "I'll get my sleep then."

Babs opens her mouth to object, then sighs and rolls her eyes helplessly. She knows he won't listen.

"Fine." She leans back, "So, what do you need? You don't usually make the drive to Gotham just for the fun of it."

"What, a guy can't visit the best lady around without earning some suspicion?" And Dick even brought coffee, too! "Maybe I just wanted to see you."

He makes a face at her.

Her smile widens. "Oh, so it's a big favor, is it? I mean, you got out the flattery and everything," she teases.

blue_bat April 8 2007, 21:59:46 UTC

Dick could play 'beat around the bush' for awhile longer. Or he could just give up, considering that Babs isn't going to let it slip. Besides, he does have to ask sooner or later.

"Seeing as you like this coffee," he starts, "How would you like to have more of it? Say, around noon tomorrow?"

twiceahero April 8 2007, 22:03:28 UTC

The cup freezes halfway to her mouth and she looks up at Dick. "Look, Dick, I appreciate it, but... We can't..." She sighs, "It's never just a date with you."

blue_bat April 8 2007, 22:07:08 UTC

"No, no," Dick says, waving his hands a bit frantically. "I don't mean that." That's not to say that he wouldn't like to mean that, but...

"It's my landlord. She keeps trying to get after me, and I keep giving her excuses about a sister. And now she want to meet the sister."

twiceahero April 8 2007, 22:11:05 UTC

"Clancy?" She frowns, "Your super? What has she been 'getting after you' about?"
