fictionalknight for the present I got today! Eeeee! *squees* Thank you so much! :D I wrote this fic a little thank you, but it is... odd! I hope it makes sense... Unbetaed, so point and I shall correct!

"Hello, Bruce," Barbara said, startling him for once.

"Hello Barbara." Batman uncurled himself from the shadows. Barbara moved her chair so she was facing him. There was silence for a few moments, save for the ever present noise of her computers, and the snow on Batman's cape melting, dripping on the floor. She would get him to mop it up before he left.

The thought of Bruce, in full Dark Knight regalia, mopping, was enough to send her into giggles. Bruce quirked an eyebrow at her, removing his cowl. Oh, she would have to make sure to get pictures of that.

"How are things with Dick going?" was all he asked, leaning against her kitchen table.

Barbara smiled now, happy. "Great. They're going great. Thank you."

Bruce smiled himself now, a small, satisfied smile. "I'm glad."

Silence fell again. Barbara turned back to her computers, quickly scanning the information she had missed since Bruce had arrived. Twitters had been updated, there were new e-mails in her many different accounts; the news had moved on to something new and, they hoped, exciting. So much had changed in only a few minutes.

After a while, she sensed Bruce coming up behind her, looking at one of the screens. She glanced out the corner of her eye, saw footage of Superman saving someone in Metropolis.

There was a sudden stillness behind her. Lois Lane appeared in the frame of the camera, interviewing eye-witnesses, shouting at Superman to wait for an interview.

Barbara bowed her head slightly. She reached up a hand blindly behind her, felt Bruce slowly clasp it, and squeezed his hand in comfort.

Hee!!! I love it! *dances*

I love how Babs is silently comforting Bruce - he won't say anything, anyway, but I love that she knows and she offers that tiny little gesture to show that she cares. I don't think he'd really accept much more, anyway... not very much into physical contact, especially not in armor, huh? Ah, but I love that she knows him well enough to just...understand, I guess? <3

The mental image of Batman mopping the floor, cracks me up so, so much! LOL! He wouldn't even do it without the armor, he'd ask Alfred - so the thought... lol! it's so hilarious. XD

And hee! for the fact that things between Dick and Babs are going well -- they're always breaking up and coming back together, silly kids... I'm glad in this moment in time, they're happy together. Makes me happy too. :D And yay for Bruce approving, too. That says a lot.

:happy sigh: thank you so, so much! *great big hugs*

And I'm glad you liked the mini-plushie Batman. *giggles* I thought they were adorable. :D

Yay!!! *dances too* I'm so glad you liked it! :D

I think maybe Babs is the only one who knows! And yes, Bruce isn't one for physical comfort, especially not when Batman. *pets him anyway*

*giggles* I know!! I laughed so much when I was writing it, lol!

And yay for Babs and Dick! They both deserve to be happy. :)

They are so adorable, and so is the card! Charlie has totally gone undercover. Or he's wearing his winter clothes, LOL! Thank you again! *big hugs back* And thank you for commenting! :)

Awwww... Poor Bruce.

The image of him mopping while in full Bat regalia *was* amusing, though. XD

*giggles* I know, I really want to see that now...

Thank you for commenting! I'm really glad you liked it! :)

A delightful image, Star! Mopping, indeed! :)

Unrequited love. *sighs*

Barbara is wonderful here.

*giggles* I couldn't resist the image of Batman mopping! :p

*pets Bruce* I'm so mean to him...

Yay for Babs! She is awesome.

*hugs* Thank you for commenting, Brady! I'm really glad you liked it! :D

That is such a great description of Oracle here, and that last sentence is a perfect summary of the way she exists, every moment different, information flowing through everything...

It's really amazing when you think about it, just how fast everything changes in a few minutes, so much new information... wow.

Thank you for commenting, Jen! I'm really glad you liked it! :D

*melts in a poodle of goo* Awww mannn!! I love Bruce and Babs being loving and there for each other, and that little gesture is just.. urg, so beautiful, and my hear aches for Bruce there, wanting what he can't have. But at least Babs knows and is there for him, to support him and be pals and share the good and the bad. I loved this! *hearts*

*huggles Bruce* I know, it's so sad! But yes, Babs knows, and there for him. *hearts her*

There should be more fic with Bruce and Babs hanging out! *nods*

Thank you for commenting, Mina! I'm really glad you liked it! :D *glomps*

*sniffle* Great story.
(Would love a sequel, though. One where Babs gets to observe as Sups approaches Bats and does a declaration of love or something and there is Babs smirking and going 'I told you so'. XD)

Is it just me or are Babs and Bats kinnda the closest of the Bat-clan. Personality and eaquelness wise?

*grins* Maybe you could write it! I would really like to see it... ;)

I'm... not sure! I know Babs has said that she thinks Bruce and Cass are the closest to being the 'same', but I think that Bruce and Babs treat each other much more as equals than, say, Bruce and Dick or Tim, because he will always see them as his children. Hmmm. *ponders*

Anyway, I'm really glad you liked it! Thank you for commenting! :)
