I'm not a big fan of Dick/Babs, but I figured there were people on my Flist who might appreciate this scene from the end of Nightwing #117, the last issue before the big jump forward a year:

Oh sure... the old "I might die tomorrow, so will you marry me?" Sheesh.

OK, OMG, I am sooo just kidding... I have tears in my eyes. This is waiting for me in my box at the comic store... but thanks for the preview! Maybe now I won't wreck the issue by bawling all over it =)

Hee! I know, I wish I could get into them, but I missed most of the history, I guess.

I love that she whipped her glasses off just in time for that dramatic kiss. And the wind came up just in time! *g* It *is* pretty romantic, for all that.

Oh.

Oh.

I don't think I can say anything more than that.
Oh.
*tears well up*
Part of me is annoyed he pulled the whole thing that men do of waiting till the worst possible moment to propose, but it's too wonderful so I'm just going to ignore reality

But Dick, sweetie? I think you left a bit of mustard on your cheek after you ate that hotdog.
And what's with him looking 15 years old?

natalexx March 13 2006, 00:50:01 UTC

Hee! Mustard on one cheek, ketchup on the other. And yeah, he does look like a high school student. Guess they haven't lost *too* much time, then.

Yeah, I'm sure she said no. *g*

lyrian March 13 2006, 04:56:58 UTC

Yeah, I'm sure she said no. *g*

I would have pashed him senseless, then slapped him for putting me through what she's going to have to go through.

...she's totally gonna say no.

*cough*

I like that little vison of them in masks kissing behind them. And the way he's gripping her knee is really nice.

Ohhhhh, injuries. I thought he was supposed to be blushing or something. I was like, why is he blushing? A guy named Dick would have learned to control that long ago. Heh. Scabs make more sense. *g*

Conner better get him through this big fight in one piece.

Hee, I felt the need to mention the supposed injuries, since they look like--well, lyrian and I were debating whether he was wearing his dinner. But anyway.

So it's gonna be...one year later: the Bat family lives in tents in New Bludhaven; Babs and Dick are married, Dick has gotten a bad case of the coughs which they're calling "pnemonia" due to radioactive air or whatever but he's intent on working himself to death; Babs is leading a union for the poor people living on the streets; Batman is a distant presence in Gotham, swooping in once in awhile with the bare necessities that they can't manage to grow themselves; it's just beginning to dawn on them that trying to set up dwellings in a wasteland with bad soil and worse weather might *not* have been the best idea...and then the Cylons march in and take over the whole place.

Oh, wait, that's a different fandom. Sorry, that just seemed to fit so well there. Huh.
