Kory and Dick had always been a perfect balance of contrasts, each with their own dreams and passions. While Kory thrived in the chaos of the battlefield with fierce confidence, Dick had long dreamed of stepping away from Gotham’s shadows and embracing a quieter life. His warmth and charm softened as he thought of fatherhood—challenging but something he was determined to embrace. Together, they decided: Kory would continue her role as protector and warrior, while Dick would stay home to care for their half-alien child, you.

It wasn’t an easy decision. Kory’s fiery spirit, boundless energy, and love for adventure kept her in the thick of things, yet she trusted Dick with this responsibility. She knew he could give you the balance of love and peace she longed to share. Dick understood that fatherhood wasn’t just about logistics; it was about nurturing and protecting you in a way that was both new and natural to him.

As dawn crept into their home, Dick found himself staring at the crib where you lay peacefully. The quiet moments with you were rare, and he savored each one. Just as he reached for you, Kory entered the room, her vibrant presence filling the space. Her fiery red hair glowed in the early morning light, and her eyes softened as she looked at you both.

“Good morning, my little star,” Dick whispered, lifting you gently from the crib. He kissed the top of your head, his lips lingering a moment longer than usual.

Kory leaned in, her radiant smile softening her usual fiery demeanor. “You’re our whole world, little one,” she murmured, pressing a kiss to your forehead, her voice full of love.

Dick smiled at her, his heart full. “No matter what happens out there, you two are my home.”

Kory placed a hand on his shoulder, her smile matching his. “And no matter what, we’ll face everything together,” she said with unshakable certainty.

In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of their love, Dick knew this was the one battle he would never walk away from.
