laylily Okay, but yes? Yes?? Please??

"Now that she's back in the atmosphere, with drops of Jupiter in her hair... Hmm? Oh, yeah, I may have heard Kory is back around. Why do you ask?"

This is an inside thought, Timothy.

"Any reason why you're single?" - That's the question, right? I've been bad at putting in the time needed to keep my relationships going. I have a habit of self-sabotage. Ask my exes. tellonym.me/justthegirlw...

Dixie liked that answer. That was probably wrong. "I thought so. Keep it. I liked it more on you anyway."

Dixie's shoulders relaxed. This was less emotionally fraught. Unfortunately, it was still embarrassing. "Oh, you might remember. I was facing some D-tier loser, but he had some acid weapon. My suit protected me, but parts of it dissolved. I had to swing back home with most of my ass hanging out."

Dixie placed a finger on Barbara's lips. "This might be too risky a game for us right now, babe. Maybe we let this stuff wear off before we jump the gun because I have big feelings."

That was cheating! She had to answer. Come on, genius, think. "Babs... should you really be asking me that? Isn't that a little dangerous for us?" Technically, she gave her the name. She just kept talking.

Dixie turned a deep shade of red. "Y-you know me. Heart on my sleeve, always feeling big emotions. S-so yeah, there may be a crush. And maybe you could call it... pretty hardcore."

"You and I versus the fed, babe? Er, Babs?"

I've doubled up on patrols lately. I have no intention of letting masked men harass or harm Gothamites on the street. So I guess I'm real excited to be labeled an enemy of the state at this rate...

Ahem. From the top of a building with a megaphone. "HUGE SHOUT OUT TO THE PEOPLE WITH MOMMY 𝘼𝙉𝘿 DADDY ISSUES!"

I never show up when someone is saying something normal.

You know what? Fair. No one wants to end up like Mrs. Habberknacker. And I guess I really shouldn't be speaking on anyone else's dating habits.

She exhaled. Okay, they were out of dangerous territory. "Well, Damian is the resident pet expert. But I DO have a pet, and I love bunnies. So show me this rabbit."

"You're so right," she agreed, playing it up to keep this lighter than she felt getting a compliment like that. "I'm just being unfair. How can I earn forgiveness for being too sexy to ginger techies?"

Fair. I think I just get curious what vibes people get from me when I'm out as Nightingale. Enough to peek. Some of the characterizations are wild.

"And that's the last thing either of us need," she lied. She ABSOLUTELY liked that Barbara still got swoony over her. She wasn't rushing for that to go away yet. It was only fair when her heart jumped every time Babs entered a room.

Okay, but while someone fixes what Tim did (please) Do you ever read fanfics of yourselves?

Because the boys are too much. Also, I am craving a smoothie, and smoothies are better with company.

(siiiiigh) A family of fumblers.

Or the cracks are growing beneath the surface. Redheads uncuddled, homies unsmooched, aliens not being properly welcomed to Earth.

I feel like you might be more dangerous single. It throws the hero dating scene out of whack.

Cassandra. Take me away from this place, please.

I know too much about Dick, Jason, and Tim. Way too much. This is sister harassment.

Dixie snorted. "If that's making you blush, you're lucky I was too busy on Seductive Sunday. You might've fainted."

There is something kind of funny about Jason getting clocked more as an Omega than an Alpha.

I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't make it to the sun. I think leaving the atmosphere pretty much ends most people. So maybe we don't send people into literal orbit. (Unless they can survive without oxygen and against high-speed friction.)

I should probably stick to bright colors so I contrast from myself as Nightingale. But in my defense, I think I look pretty good in black.

I don't play favorites with my siblings. ...Ignore my definitely not favoritism toward Cass.

I'm putting Helena in the corner. She is in time out.

2016 never ended, Caroline. We're in purgatory.

Every time I look away, the boys are being unhinged. Without fail.

Cass, don't make people feel old, even if they're old.

Thank you, Dick, for taking all the lactose intolerance. I'll order a milkshake in your honor.

......Bah. That tracks.

Dammit, did someone chase Jason away? We need him.

"You do?? Yes, see, this is why we need to catch up." She finally felt herself relaxing. "I missed y—this." Okay, maybe a little too relaxed.

"Especially if it's Star Wars for the 30th time. We can do a marathon at my place. You still have to meet me new cat."

Dixie smiled, her cheeks still pink. "Oh, so much." She linked her arm with Barbara's arm. "But that won't stop me. Come on, you can pick the movie." They were gonna figure out the way to exist around each other, come hell or high water.

"𝐵𝑎𝑏𝑠." Dixie covered her mouth, caught off guard by that one. "Let's try to work on this, if for no other reason than I can't take the teasing from Jason and Dick that I'll get for all this." She smiled. "Think we can handle a movie night yet? Or is that asking for trouble?"

At least they could acknowledge they were both still struggling. That made the energy in the room lighten, at least. Dixie could form full thoughts again. "We'll figure it out eventually. I'm not running off, and I refuse to not have you in my life, so we will find some new normal."

laylily Between Wally and Babs, how clear is it that I love the dynamic of exes with unresolved feelings? Friends to lovers is fine, but friends to lovers to exes to friends to yearning to lovers is the real sauce.
