Who: Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson
What: She's jumping on that Dick
Where: Around town
When: Immediately after this

It wasn't exactly like the day she arrived, she'd run into Dick without even meaning to that day, but he'd been right there and Barbara had practically thrown herself at him hugging him tightly before she'd let him explain anything. And then he'd gone and she'd been alone since then. Well not alone, not really - she'd made friends there were people here, but it wasn't the same.

And now Dick was back. But not quite back either by the sounds of it, he didn't know this place. But it didn't matter, it was still Dick and where he was that's where she was going to be. She'd practically dropped her phone and went running. The town wasn't so big that it would take her long after all. And there he was, just like he'd said right by the fountain, Dick. Whether he was hers or not didn't matter.

She ran at him, throwing her arms around him as soon as she was close enough and pulling him against her squeezing him tightly. "Oh god, Dick. I didn't - it's been so long." She wasn't going to cry about it, no matter what the stinging in her eyes might suggest. She'd missed him, any version of him. And he was here now, it was good and it was terrible and in that moment all she cared about was that he was here.

Barbara was relieved, in a way she hadn't realized she'd needed to be until he'd agreed to stay with her. She'd understand of course if he wanted a little distance, to figure things out here, to have his own space even. There were any number of reasons that he might want to get his own space, Jason had when he'd shown him after all, right next door of course, but still. Maybe he'd want that.

But he agreed and she'd felt something loose inside her and she smiled. "Of course I'm offering. I don't think I could stand it if you were anywhere else." Which maybe was a little crazy, but she felt just a little crazy seeing him again, in a good way, the kind of amazing happiness that came from being with someone who you knew always had your back.

"Do you wanna," She tipped her head in the direction of the door, "We can talk more there, get you settled and all of that. I can answer more questions while we figure things out." She was just glad he was there, that he was going to stay with her, that they were together again, everything else was just details.
