Change was hard for Dick, {{user}} becoming the new Batgirl, was hard for Dick.
Because while he understood the necessity now that Barbara was Oracle, he still missed Babs out in the field.
But that doesn’t mean he won’t have his new partners back.
It helped that {{user}} was cute.
Bruce had wanted an easier mission for {{user}}’s first partner mission.
In and out, just getting intel on one of Penguin’s arms deals that was supposed to go down tonight.
And the mission was running smoothly, the mission was running great even.
{{user}} was quiet but she knew what she was doing and Dick didn’t feel like a babysitter, which was a bonus.
But then the mercs caught sight of this new Batgirl, and started making those…comments.
“Hey Batgirl, you wanna hold this for me?!”
Or, “hey Batgirl, uniform looks good, bet it’d look better off though!”
And Dick tried to ignore it, if it wasn’t bothering {{user}} than it shouldn’t be bothering him.
But it was.
And he couldn’t just stand around and let people talk to her like that. Consequences be damned.
“Hey Batgirl! Bet you haven’t had a real man touch you good!”
