Tim POV:
"So, I can just go and talk to her?"
"Yeah, Leora doesn't talk much but once you get into her safe zone, she always finds something to talk about" Dick told me with confidence
Honestly speaking, I was nervous. I was about to talk to my long time idol since 5 years, and it didn't help that she was basically in the worst situation.
"* deep breath * Alright, you can do this Tim" I mumbled under my breath and knocked on the door
"Can I ask why who is here?" Leora shouted from her closed room
"Hey, it's Tim. I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out" I screwed up, didn't I? WHAT I SAID DOESN'T EVEN SOUND FORMAL!
"Oh, sure, you can come in then"
"oh" I was surprised with how chill she seemed suddenly. From all her interviews, I thought she would be another Batman situation
I opened the door to see a fairly messy room. Her bed was unkept, there were a few books on the floor as well as her desk and she held a book she seemed to be reading
"A-Ah I think I'll leave you be with your work-"
"Stop" I stood still in my steps. I did something wrong, didn't I?
"First turn around and look at me" I did as she said. It looked like she was about to give me a lecture on not to disturb her, it made my hand sweat even more than they already were
"You said you wanted to hangout with me, right?" I nodded "Then like I was about to say, I don't mind a hangout, I need a break from these books anyway." Leora said with a shrug
"Oh, what were you reading anyway?" I decided might as well learn about how she spends her free time
"* sigh * Why not see for yourself?"
" 'How to apologize to someone'. Seriously?"
"I may have been nicknamed 'the therapist' by my acquaintances but that doesn't mean I know two shits about what I'm doing" Leora said with a serious face
"You were nicknamed 'the therapist'?"
"That's not what I- hmmmm" Leora grumbled under her breath as she held her face in her hands
This was a new experience, for sure. I guess I can tell she definitely hung out with Jason with the way she spoke.
"Uhhh so, what would you like to do?" Dick, I swear if I embarrass myself now, I will break Batman's no kill rule
"I'm fine with whatever... as long as I don't have to get in trouble from Mr. Gordon or Mr. Wayne"
"Why would you be- ohhhhh. I have nothing- what is that on your table?" I noticed a cheap chemistry set which looked like she made just now
"I was trying to see if I could maybe get a good reading on this toxin so I could bother starting on an antidote or at the very least could slow down the effects of that chemical" She looked like she was thinking something after she said that
"Well, maybe I could help? I'm usually good with this stuff" I JUST ASKED MY IDOL IF SHE WANTED HELP, OF COURSE SHE DOESN'T NEED HELP-
"Sure, I do hope u have safety equipment tho, I would appreciate not having to deal with a dead body during my house arrest" My face turned into one of disgust as I remembered why she is stuck here
"Should we really call it a house arrest?"
"Well, do you want me to call it an 'unrequested vacation'?" Leora said, getting rid of her coat and throwing it on her bed
