Re: Aftermath: Steph/Doug
"No, I suppose he wouldn't." Doug remembered seeing the Batman. It was somewhat terrifying, the briefest of glances made him feel like the man knew everything about him. Maybe he did. Doug couldn't help but shudder at the memory, and at wondering what his connection was to Batgirl. Mentor, teammate, father? It was impossible to tell. But at least he knew that Batman and Batgirl had been there to help. "Same with Batgirl."
Doug looked down at the gift in his hands, and started to question the wisdom of even buying it, and his interest in Batgirl, and everything else he'd been doing. He very carefully set the token on a brick outcropping of the building, then realized Stephanie was watching him.
Doug looked at Stephanie, then at the box, shook his head and tried to pretend like it was nothing. He turned to face her, put his hands back in his pockets, and then lowered his gaze to the ground. "Well, the school posters were right. A prom to remember, huh?"
Ugh. Stupid. Who makes jokes at a time like this? Besides Parker?
