Chapter 9 - SURPRISE VISIT

Back at Dick's hideout, Aaron stitches up his shoulder wound.

"You know, you could have just gone to the hospital." Aaron jokingly says.

"I've gotten used to doing it this way." Dick says.

As Aaron finishes patching him up, Dick puts his shirt on and walks over to his computer.

"What are you doing?" Aaron asks.

"I put a tracker on Lawton, I'm trying to see where he is."

"Don't you think he'll find it? He is highly trained."

"Nah, I put it on the bottom of his shoe. Pretty sure he won't find it."

"Nice."

Aaron then throws Dick's jacket to him.

"Unfortunately, we have to go to work."

Dick jokingly groans out loud.

"Fine."

As the two head out, they are surprised to hear someone coming down. Aaron grabs his gun and Dick grabs one of his wingdings, waiting for whoever's coming. When the elevator doors open, they are surprised by Barbara Gordon.

"Barb, what are you doing here?" Dick asks.

"Alfred was worried about you, so was I. Hey Mr. Cash." Barbara says, rolling into the base, confusing Aaron.

Cash then slowly realizes what this means and leans over to Dick.

"Commissioner Gordon's daughter is alive?"

"Well...Yes?" Dick says with a guilty smile.

Aaron rubs his face and let's out a sigh.

"I'm gonna head to the precinct, and wait there for you to explain this."

Aaron walks out as Dick sighs, rubbing the back of his neck and turning to Barbara.

"Maybe I should have knocked first." Barbara says.

"Ya think?"

"I'm sorry. I was just worried about you."

"I'm flattered."

"Stop doing that."

"Stop doing what?"

"Stop acting like you don't care. Look I understand that you're pissed that I didn't tell you that I was alive, but what's done is done. I can't change it."

Dick closes his eyes in frustration and pain.

"I don't have time for this. Lock up when you leave."

Dick walks out, leaving Barbara alone with tears in her eyes. As she cries, the young man wipes away tears from his face in the elevator, unsure about how he feels.
