Great one. Something bugged me when I read Red Robin #15 and this addresses it - Barbara's reaction is what I wanted to see.
Your Babs is... she's pretty great.

I was thinking the same while reading Red Robin #15. I want to believe that Tim asked Barbara first before going on with his plan (he did talked with Steph after all).

Ay first I wanted to write something angsty, but then I realized that Babs is too rational to be angry. She knows Tim and she knows that he wouldn't do it if he had another chance.

I was hoping for something like that. I mean, Tim goes to talk with Steph, but not to Babs? In my canon he talked with her before talking to Steph. Tim's not Bruce. He knows that people have feelings.

Thanks for reading :)

This didn't even occur to me until I read your fic. And it should've been so obvious. It's such an awesome little behind-the-scenes look. It was really awesome to read. :)

That's why we have fanfiction :)

I'm glad you like it and once again, thank you for your help :D

right? right? it's by phoenixstorm, the moment I saw it, I was all MUST HAVE NAO.

[modestroad]

I took it too 'cause, you know, I must have it! lol

I wanted to write a fic in which Babs and the rest of the Birds are having lunch and those two students invite themselves, but I'm pretty sure a)no one is going to read it and b) I'm not good with crack fics.

Well, that was wonderful. LOVE the layers in this fic - Tim watching Stephanie. Barbara would be the first one to tap him on the forehead and say pay attention to the details!
Thanks for sharing - I really enjoyed this!

Thank you :D

I wanted to write something because the comic only show Tim's reaction and let's face it, it was a shooting a la Killing Joke.
