DickKory Week 2021 - Day One

Day 1: Batman!Dick | Pining | “Don’t touch her.”

To say that playing the Dark Knight so Bruce could go on a trip to mend his broken relationship with a revived Jason was a pain was an understatement. But if he’d preach that his Gotham family had to make healthy, better choices without being called a big old hypocrite, Dick would have pinch in. And for now, it meant changing the sunny San Francisco for the gloomy Gotham, and his sleek sexy uniform for the clunky cape and cowl. Oh well, the things you do for love.

The to do list he was currently running inside his mind read as follow:

1 – Stand in the darkness spookily (done);

2 – Stop scheduled crime from happening (actual thing in Gotham, also done);

3 – Stop unscheduled petty crime he might come across on patrol (you are never really done with that, but he did his best);

4 – Brood (not as easily as one might think when your Robins are being ridiculous, and hilarious, in the comms. He meant to have just one as God intended, but Rachel and Gar would not stop fighting to decide which one would wear his old traffic light uniform, and in the end Dick just gave up, and let them both be Robin.)

So, he was currently failing at brooding, great, he used to be good at that. Well, good was not the exact expression…

“Good evening, Mr Batman.”

Dick smirked and turned around on the gargoyle he was perched on to look at his companion.

“Hey babe.”

He cursed, she let out that powerful dirty laugh of hers, he forgot to turn off the voice modulator and hearing his old dad calling his girl “babe” in that scary Batman was at best unsettling and at worst hilariously cringey. Kory clearly was feeling more like the second hypothesis.

She looked a little bit tired, maybe was the baby, maybe was the fact that she had been flying across the country daily to check on him and the kids, while still having duties as a Titan in San Francisco. Dick had argued that she didn’t need to do any of that. Conner and Donna were fully capable of taking care of their city while he, Rachel and Gar babysat Gotham, and all she had to do was focus in the little half-tamaranean half-human child growing inside of her. But Kory being Kory, told him to fuck off. And after two weeks being banned from their bed and a long conversation in which he assured her that he did not think she was weak, or useless they came to a compromise. He compromised to not try to pull that crap ever again. And Kory compromised to not make him regret to ever leave his mother’s womb. A fair deal.

“It’s almost morning,” she said after finishing her laughing fit at his expenses. “I’ve already told the kids to go back.”

Oh, that explained the sudden silence in the comms.

“You need to make them another staff or they will be fighting over that prototype forever.”

Dick sighed and looked away from her. She was right. The night was almost over and the silver dawn approached in the horizon. Gotham almost appeared a normal city in that light. Almost a place worth to fight for. He found himself missing Bruce, and not only because he’d give an arm and a leg to just take his space princess, his little witch and his zoological son and leave; but because, deep down, veeeeery deep he kinda missed this. Gotham at dawn, it was almost credible then that light could win over that city’s perpetual darkness. When he was young, in the beginning, sometimes he’d fall sleep at this time, and wake up on the backseat of the batmobile wrapped on Bruce’s cape.

“I’ll get to it eventually,” he said turning his back at Gotham and taking her in. God, even looking tired she was gorgeous. The richness of her dark skin, the way it bounced back the blues and silvers of the city lights, it was drizzling and the droplets hanged from her long lashes and soft curls like crystals. She blinked and he reached towards her face, for no other reason than the comfort of touching her. “Let’s go home.”

She smiled, but stepped back, avoiding his touch, Dick pouted, hurt.

Kory giggled again.

“Wayne Manor is hardly home, and don’t look at me like that.”

“Like how?” He definitively didn’t sound at all like the Batman now. Batman would never sound so childish, too bad he couldn’t care a rat’s ass for how Batmanly he should sound when his wife wouldn’t let him even cuddle her a little bit when he had worked so hard all night.

“Dick, what will people think if they see Starfire and Batman being all lovey and dovey on the top of some gargoyle? Do you want to deal with that press scandal?”

He pouted harder.

She was right, of course. Man, he wanted to go home!

Rated T | 2k | Exes to Lovers | @dickkory-week

Dick craves Kori like a war-torn body craves peace.

The moment Dick puts on the cowl, Gotham rose up and smothered him in nightmares of her own making. He doesn’t need to be told that he is being pulled in every direction and he barely has time to think about his ex being off-planet. But he craves her, subconsciously.

It doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about her, though. He thinks about her in moments, in flashes: when he wakes up midday, after a rough night of patrolling with Damian, and his arms reach out and he expects her to be there; when he buys her favorite kind of drink even though he doesn’t even like it all that much and it stays in the fridge until Alfred decides to throw it away; when he’s down in the Cave with nothing debilitating weighing on his shoulders and his body aches to be near her.

Dick does think about her. Maybe not in the way she deserves, but in the way that he can.

_____

Kory tries not to touch the walls as she and Dick creep down the alley. For such a fancy apartment building, the alleyway running behind it is very grimy and very pungent. Kory supposes rich people make garbage just like anyone else.

“Ready?” She holds out her arms wide, inviting Dick to leap into them.

Dick grins and adjusts his mask. “When am I ever not ready?”

Instead of jumping into Kory’s arms, he leaps three feet into the air and grabs hold of the fire escape. Two swings for momentum, and he flips up onto the platform and is scampers up the ladder.

Kory laughs and pushes off her toes and into the air. She beats Dick to the window, but not by much.

It would be easy for Kory to shatter the window with a starbolt, but Dick likes to do things quietly, so as not to attract attention. You’re already a six-foot-five golden goddess, he said once. Let’s not add loud noises to the mix.
