Got Your Back, Always

IV.XX

Dick and Cassie are both standing on the patio. He has a cup of coffee and one arm around her and she's holding tightly to the blanket she's had while leaning against him with her eyes closed.
"Hey," Kory walks out to them.

"You find anything?" Dick asked.

Kory sighs, "No. Sebastian's gone underground. Any word on Conner?"

"They must be together. We're running a bridge and toll search. If one of them shows their faces, we'll find both of them."

"Okay." Kory looks at Cassie, "Any luck on your end Cassie?"

She sighed, "No. Everytime I try to even lift something heavier than a cup it's like something stronger just pulls me under. I... I don't know how much help I'll be."

Kory sighed and gently rubbed her shoulder.

Dick looked out to the streets, "Look at all those people down there. They don't know about Horns or Trigons or magical powers. They go to bed, wake up, make their coffee, and go to work like any other day."

"Or not." Kory looked up to the sky, and chuckles, "If you could be anywhere else on Earth right now, where would you be?"

Dick chuckles softly and pulls Cassie a little closer, "I don't know. Here is pretty nice."

Cassie chuckles softly.

Kory does too, "Yeah, here's pretty nice."

Dick's phone starts to go off. He looks at it and pulls away from Cassie, "Gotta get back."

"Yeah."

Cassie leaned against her hand, "I do think sending him to Jason is a good idea. I'm just saying don't send him to Gotham without a suit. You know how that city can get."

Dick sighed, "There's not enough time to get his suit here. I've only just now sent Stu the request for one."

Cassie gave him a look, "Seriously? Do you really think I don't already have a suit for him ready to go?"

"Wait what?"

She rolled her eyes, "How many suitcases are in the spot with yours?"

He turned around and opened the cabinet that stored their suits in the RV, and counted. "Five."

"And that means...?"

"Mine, yours, Kory's, one for Gar his is new, and..." He grabbed the last suitcase and opened it, revealing a new Robin suit. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm like 95% certain I did."

He thought for a moment, "I thought you were just talking about his staff. Not a full suit when you said that."

Cassie shook her head, "What else would 'Tim's Robin stuff is ready, we should start training him so he can earn it', mean to you?"

Dick closed the case, "Whatever. I'm going to bring this to him. Jason's expecting Tim tonight so I'll be back."

"I'm..." Cassie took a deep breath in, "Gonna take another nap." She pulled the blanket closer and laid down.

Dick gave her a sad smile, and gave her a quick kiss before walking out of the RV.

Dick walked into the RV, and saw Cassie sound asleep with Krypto curled up with her. He smiled and set down a set of keys and plugged a flash drive into Cassie's laptop and downloaded the contents.

He looked at the contents for a moment, smiling at the pictures.

Pictures of Cassie's mom Isabel and her father James, from before Cassie was born.
