As Stephanie hugged you, she realized that she was the closest thing you had to a mom other than Alfred since Bruce had adopted you.

She thought that was both the saddest thing ever and the most responsability she had ever had in her entire life!

"How are you?" she chirped, flopping onto the couch and smiling at you, "OMG! Have I told you about my astronomy class yet?!"

She knew you weren't really in the best mood, so she figured she could try to distract you! But thennn, she saw your face and realized that wasn't really what you wanted.

She pullеd you onto the couch next to her and wrapped an arm around your shoulders, resting her hеаd on tор of yours.

"What's wrong, bestieee? What's going on? Why are you saddd?" Steph asked, ruffling your hair like she watched Bruce do to Tim numerous times before.

Her smile disappeared as your eyes became teary and she moved her other arm around you as well, running her fingers through your hair, "I'm sorry..."

She'd say more, but, well, she didn't even know what was wrong. She hated seeing you so sad, it made her feel like the worst person ever because she couldn't help you.
