Zandra's pov

Dick and I have been texting all week and he told me on Wednesday that he wanted to take me out to dinner and I agreed to his offer. He sent each other memes, and played mobile games together. However, the family has noticed how much I have been on the phone lately. "Sister, what are you doing?" Damian asked. "I am just playing a game with a friend," I replied. "I didn't know you had friends," Jason remarked. I glared at him with a glare even Batman was afraid of. Tim looked at me in horror as I glared at his brother. "How can you have a bat glare that is better than the person who invented it?" Tim asked. I smirked and released my glare on Jason. "I wondered that myself," Dad stated from behind me. "Lots and lots of time. Plus I couldn't talk for about seven years. So I had plenty of time to practice." I commented. "Anyways who are you texting?" Dad asked. "I believe that is my business," I said in a matter-of-fact tone. Tim grabbed his laptop and began typing away. "Don't even bother trying to hack into my phone. Not even Dick could hack it." I announced without evening looking. "Dammit." He grumbled. I smirked at his antics. I stood up and walked away from my family. I walked up to my room and began to prepare for my date. Tonight the boys had patrol, so I could leave in peace. I hopped into the shower and washed myself off quickly. I began to dry my hair and do my make up. Soon I was dressed and ready to go. The boys were down in the cave as I snuck outside. I pulled my car out of the garage and drove out onto the road.

Dick's pov

I drove to the restaurant happily as I was finally showing Zandra how I felt. Then it hit me, what if she friend-zoned me. I parked my car in the restaurant and stepped out. I wore a suit and a light blue tie. I waited for Zandra. I saw Zandra's car pull in and she stepped out. My eyes widened at her. She wore a beautiful light blue dress and her hair was in a messy car but elegant bun. She walked up to me and smiled lightly. "Hey, Dick." She said softly. "Wow Zandra, you look..." I trailed on. "I overdressed, didn't I? I can go change, I brought some jeans and a top." She offered quickly with insecurity lacing her voice. "What no, I was going to say that you look gorgeous, stunning even." I complimented quickly. I saw her gorgeous blue eyes look up at me with happiness in them. "Thank you." She said quietly. I cleared my throat and she looked up at me. "Would you like to get a table?" I asked. She smiled lightly at me. "I would like that." She smiled. I smiled back and turned to the hostess desk. "I would like a table for two." I said. Suddenly I froze as I felt Zandra's soft slip into mine. I felt my heart leap and I looked at Zandra's blue orbs. "Are you okay with this?" Zandra whispered. I stared at her blankly. "I can let go if you feel uncomfortable." She offered. "No." I said desperately. "No, I am not uncomfortable." I added with a smile. She smiled half-heartedly back. The hostess sat us down at a table for two in a secluded area of the otherwise busy restaurant. "Um, they have a lot of nice foods here. You can get whatever you want." I offered. "Thank you, but I will be paying this time around." She smiled. "What no, I asked you out." I quickly protested. She reached over the table and placed her hand over mine. "Dick let me pay." She said. I felt caught in my chest as I looked down at our hands. I turned over my rough, calloused hand and cupped it gently around hers. "Hello, I am your server for tonight my name is Valerie. What can I get you guys started for tonight?" Valerie asked. "Oh well, I would like water." Zandra said. "Yeah a water here as well." I stated. "Alrighty, I will be right back." Valerie replied. "So did Bruce reveal to the public that you are alive?" I asked. She sighed and looked at me. "Yeah we had a big press conference this week stating that I had been kidnapped by some foreign terrorist organizations, but they finally released me after Bruce works with Batman and the JL to save me." She replied. "Oh well, I guess that worked out." I commented. "It would have worked perfectly. If Green Lantern hadn't been eyeing me. Now everyone thinks I am dating him." She whispers shouted. I chuckled at her antics. "Here are your drinks." The server said. "Alrighty have you guys decided what you want to eat?" She asked. "Um yes, I am in the mood for some rib." Zandra replied. "Okay great are you good with all of the sides?" Valerie questioned. "Yeah, I am fine with them." She announced. "And what for you?" Valerie nodded. "I will have the same." I proclaimed. "Alrighty, I will be out with the ribs shortly." She stated and walked away. Zandra grabbed the straw and placed it into the drink. "What's so bad with everyone thinking your dating Green Lantern?" I asked inwardly chuckling. "He is not my type." She shrugged off. I raised a brow at her. "Not into the hero type?" I asked smugly. "Well preferable my boyfriend would have black hair, blue eyes, a sweet personality, caring, determined, and loves cuddles." Zandra stated. I stared at her and felt my stomach flip. "What have I slain your tongue?" She asked. "Well um yeah." I replied. She laughed out happily and I joined in. "Haha I don't know what's happening, but I just can't form sentences." I voiced. "Haha, it's okay Dick. You being here is like a dream come true." Zandra announced. I felt happiness flow through me. I rubbed her hand with my thumb. "I missed you Z, I missed a lot." I professed. Zandra gave me a sad look and lowered her head. "I mean every step of my life you had been there. You were the first person to comfort me when my parents died. You trained me, you were my partner out in the field, you helped me realize that I couldn't with Bruce all the time, and then one day you were just gone." I confessed. "Dick in the beginning I remembered my life before. I would pray to god that you guys would find me and her me out of that hell hole. I tried to escape so many times. At one point they had to break both of my legs to stop me from running. I wanted to be there for you Dick. I felt as if I lost a part of myself when they had taken me." Zandra said with tears dropping from her beautiful face. I let go of her hands and stepped out of my seat. I sat down next to her and cupped her face. "Z it's okay, you are home now. No one is ever going to take you again." I promised. "I am with you." I heard her mumbled as she hugged me. I leaned into her soft hug and she nuzzled her head into my neck. "Thank you Dick for always being here for me." She whispered. I pulled away and looked into her Atlantic, blue eyes. "I will always be here for you." I promised. "Alrighty here is your food." Valerie announced. I hopped back over to my seat. "Oh um thank you." Zandra replied. "Oh, honey are you okay?" Valerie asked as she saw Zandra's tear-stained cheeks. "Oh yeah, just working through on emotional stuff." Zandra informed her. "Aww honey, well you look gorgeous and you are such a cute couple." Valerie said. "Oh thank you." She voiced. the server nodded her head and walked away. "You are very beautiful." I complimented. Zandra's cheeks became a bright pink and she looked down at the food. We began to eat the food in a peaceful silence. Soon our meal was down and I beat Zandra to the check. "How did you do that?" Zandra asked as we walked out of the restaurant. "What can I say I am fast." I replied. Zandra stepped in front of me and look up at me. "Thank you for taking me out tonight." Zandra thanked. "Yeah um, Zandra, I need to tell you something." I announced. She tilted her head and furrowed her brows. "Listen..um when we were kids we did everything together and when I lost you. I lost a part of me. I fell into a depression because I never got the chance to tell you how I truly felt. I love you, Zandra. I have always loved you." I confessed. She stared at me with astonishment. "I have always love you too Dick." She cooed. My breath quivered as I looked down at her. "May I kiss you." I whispered. She smiled lightly. "Yes..yes you can." She smiled and lifted her hands to my face. I leaned down and our lips connected. I felt her lips move with mine. I placed my hands on her thin waist hugged her close. Soon she pulled away and nuzzled under my chin. "I love you, Dick." Zandra whispered. "I love you too." I cooed.
