It had been two months since the incident and I had finally allowed Barb to walk around and even leave the apartment, but I had a sneaking suspicion that she had already been doing that for a few weeks while I was at work.

She got an allowance from Bruce and her father, so she didn't really need a job to pay rent.

It was only a month after that when I finally allowed her to go out on patrol again. Under one circumstance. She could not fight. Just alert me when she saw someone who needed help.

She was pretty pissed right now because I wouldn't allow her to go up on space to a Justice League meeting.

"Kenzie, they might need me."

"Not in that condition they don't. I'm sure they'd tell you the exact thing I am. You need to heal."

"It's been three months. It only takes a fractured bone around six weeks to heal. I'm fine."

"I just want you to be safe."

"I'm sorry. I just- I don't like being a little kid around you. Just a sidekick."

"That's not it at all. I just want to protect you." I pulled her into a hug.

"I know, I know."

After that we went home and both crashed on the couch.

Knock knock

I sat up rigid at the sound of the knock causing Barb to fall on the floor. "I'll get it." I told her as I carefully stepped over her.

I opened the door to a tall man with dark hair. "Dick?" I heard Barbra whisper behind me.

"Do you know him Barb?" A asked pointing at him with my thumb.

"Um yeah, why are you here?"

"I wanted to introduce you to someone. This is Kori." He gestured to his left and a tall woman with orange skin and literal red hair. "My girlfriend."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Barb freeze. She had talked about Dick nonstop when we first met. Then he died. Then he came back to life and she finally decided to cut him from her life for good. I always knew there was a part of her that still liked him though.

"Alright, you can go away now, but not before I talk to you alone Dick." I closed the door right after o walked out and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt after Kori had left. "How could you do that to her?"

"Do what? I'd never do anything to hurt Barbra." His eyes were wide.

"What, like how you didn't mean to hurt her when you 'died'? Boy, don't you get it? She talks about you like you put the stars in the sky. She cut you out of her life because of how much you hurt her. She didn't want to love you anymore, but she does." It was all I had to not use my powers. It was harder to hold back when I was emotional like this.

"I didn't know-" I cut him off.

"I don't care. Just stay out of our lives and promise me you don't break that kind girl's heart. She loves you. I can tell. Don't make her suffer like you made Barbra suffer."

"Alright, I promise."

"Good."
