Chapter Text
They came to the school, the meeting place, in a short time. Dick stretched out his arm to help her walk gentlemanly. Actually, Barbara was fine, but with a momentary urge, she fell into his arm. As they sailed through the corridor of the school, they finally came to Barbara's locker.
"It was a good idea to have spare clothes in your locker." Barbara just smiled and nodded because she didn't know what to say.
"Let me change my clothes in the changing rooms. The meeting in the conference room. We can meet there. Do you know the way? When you go down the stairs, it stays on the left."
"I can find the conference room. Are you sure you can walk? Your leg still looks bad."
"Don't worry 'bout me, I always fall... umm.. off the bike."
"Okay then, see you in five minutes."
When Barbara returned to the conference room, she saw Dick. He had reserved the seat next to him. Barbara smiled slowly. This boy could be a womanizer, but on the one hand, he was definitely a gentleman. A few minutes later, Mr. Wastern came and started talking.
"Hey guys, thank you for coming today. First of all, let's say hello to our new member: Richard Grayson-Wayne, son of billionaire Bruce Wayne. And thanks to Wayne Enterprise for financial support. Our purpose here today is to improve Musilor. An idea was found by Ms. Gordon. By adapting the Musilor technology to lenses or eyeglass lenses, it would help both be easy to carry and to read lyrics when requested. Congratulations to Ms. Gordon again for this ingenious idea. "
Barbara felt the blood rushing to her cheeks and nodded her head unobtrusively.
"But first of all, we have to spread the sales of Musilor to the whole world, and then, develop lenses. If we first announced earphones, there will be an enormous increase in the purchases of the lenses. Delivery has been reached for the final tunings of the earphone model. Our sponsors continue to increase, so everything is ticking. I want the prototype of the lenses from you next month. Dismissed. Mr. Wayne, can I speak to you for a minute, please?"
While she was waiting for Dick, she overheard the two girls talking.
"Can you believe that Richard Wayne is here? He's deep blue, dreamy eyes. And his body, God ... I think I started to love this club even more."
"I just don't understand what he found at that Gordon girl."
"What you don't have. For example, the brain," thought Barbara. They were gossip types in every school. They even get the news that they got married until they got home.
Dick came when she was staring at the girls filthy.
"Mr. Wastren said that we can work together. But I guess you're working alone. Though it is not something to be continuous. It's like orientation. But if you agree."
A warm smile spread on Barbara's face.
"I would love to work together. If you want, we can even work continuously."
"I would be so happy."
"By the way," *She pulled out a purple file from his bag * "This is a few ideas I prepared for the prototype. If we want to beat the others, we have to work hard by the end of the month. I hope you don't have a related problem."
"There's absolutely no problem. Let's go to the library if you want. Don't worry, Alfred is still waiting for us."
"Great, then let's start working."
It hadn't even been afternoon when they arrived at the library.
"If we can find the nano dimensions of these parts, we can use them in computing."
"So, what should we do with the charging thing?"
"I think we can use human energy." Dick looked through eyes that didn't understand
"(DG) But can enough energy be produced?"
"Certainly, a person produces an average of 10 volts of energy a day, and we only need 2 volts. And don't worry, this has no side effects on human health."
"Wow. Brilliant. Good luck when you are a partner with me."
"Don't say that. I am sure you will find amazing ideas. You know what? We were working for 3 hours. I guess it is enough for today. I know an awesome cafe near here. We'll sit there and have a drink."
"I would never say no to a break."
"I think you're a Friends fan too." They had come to Barbara's favorite cafe. It created a pleasant and friendly atmosphere with the Friends concept.
"From the first series I watched. I think it is a nice series. Also, the coffee here is really, really good"
"It was a beautiful drama, but Rachel and Ross haven't got a relationship like Monica and Chandler have."
"Absolutely. It is an advantage that they are close friends but you have to think broadly when you are in this kind of relationship. You can end all your friendship with an error." She thought of Nightwing and herself. All the flirts, stolen kisses ... Did they mean anything? If they did, would they succeed? Love makes you weak and stupid. No exception.
"(DG)Maybe they were the lucky part."
"(BG)Maybe" It was right, life was not so generous to everyone.
They talked about Jason's embarrassing moments for 1-2 hours.
"Do you want to do something tomorrow?" He added immediately, "We can do some more brainstorm about the lenses."
"I would love to, but I need to study biology and physics for mid-term exams tomorrow."
"Are the exams close to science exams?" Barbara knew the excitement in his voice. This was clearly desperation.
"No, but it is necessary for my scholarship to get a high grade from the exams. That's why I start to study before exams."
"I'd better start working too. I don't know the physics, but a miracle is required to get A from biology."
"Strange, but if you work, you can do this miracle. How about I study with you?"
"Are you sure? How will you work if you make me work?"
"I have a photographic memory. I normally study with my imagination students. So nothing will change for me."
"It would be great ... You can come to my house tomorrow. If you want, even if Stephanie starts studying, she can come. They can work with Cass and Tim."
"Are you sure it won't be a problem for them?"
"I'm sure. Tim and Cass work together all the time. Tim will be happy to see him." He smiled cunningly. She thought of the shape of her face when she said this to Steph.
"Deal. Tomorrow at your place."
