- I'll try almost anything within reason.
It had been about two weeks since the first sparring match in the Batcave, and there had been some other training sessions along the way of various kinds. Dick had studied his performances against his past performances and found that he had actually improved over the last time he did this five years ago. For the most part Dick felt he was ready to resume his role as Nightwing, but he did promise Raven that he wouldn't put on the costume until she said so.
During that time, they had done playful flirting and given each other long stares with smiles from across a room, but they hadn't done much else on that front. This evening though was different as this was their first time out just of purely social reasons. Not to mention they were getting tired of staring at the same four walls that made up Wayne Manor. They were adjusting to keeping the house in order without Alfred being around, but his presence and that connection to the Wayne Family was now gone. For the first time in his life Dick Grayson felt like he was truly on his own.
There was also a part that was wondering about his and Raven after he put the mask back on. Once he did that would she stay with him? And if so for how long? Would she agree to be his partner? Would she feel like that she was needed elsewhere? These were questions that nagged at Dick every so often, and he would quickly push them aside in favor of other matters as it were. Alfred of course would've told him that avoiding an issue was no way of dealing with it.
It wasn't much of a date as it were. It was just Dick and Raven sitting outside at a café enjoying a couple of drinks. He looked at her and said, "I'm telling you that I had you dead to right with that spinning kick leading into the back flip. I still can't figure out how you deflected it at the last second. I mean, even Bruce at his peak had issues trying to block that move. Not to mention, it did help me knock Bane a good three feet back with it once." Dick looked down for a moment and said, "Yes he did get back up and if it wasn't for a well-timed Batarang from Tim he would've pulverized me." Dick smiled for a moment and said, "Ahh the good ol' days as it were."
