Summary: Dick learns a lesson in fighting from Batgirl.
There were times Dick didn’t understand Batgirl. Today was one of those times. They were currently in the middle of sparring in the bat cave. He knew she was a good fighter, sometimes almost as good as him. It was her methods he questioned.
So far today, they had practiced the usual moves: lassoing attacks and ways to avoid being caught in it, offensive punches and kicks, defenses blocks and dodges, and a few somersaults and flips to maneuver. All of these were necessary for long range combat. He expected all of that. It was when they got into the close, hand-to-hand situation that she did something unexpected.
At first, she threw a few punches at his mid-section, shoulders, and face, even adding a knee attack towards his left knee and groin, which luckily she missed. Then, they started grappling, hands locked together. He glared into her blue eyes and she glared back into his. He knew he was stronger than her; in fact, they both did. Logically, her best course of action was to throw off his balance at this point, but logic had nothing to do with her next action.
Dick was sure she let him throw her balance off at that moment. He was also sure she meant to lean forward. He thought she might try head butting him, but he never imagined she’d kiss on the lips.
The air was knocked out of his lungs and his balance up ended. He fell backwards with Batgirl landing on top of him, pining his limbs. His head was still spinning when he heard the heavy footsteps entering the sparring room of the batcave. With effortless ease, Batgirl leapt off of him and turned to face the owner of the footsteps.
“Hello, Batman,” Batgirl said happily. “I think we’re done here. Right, Robin?”
In a dazed voice, Robin mumbled, “Uh. Yeah. Right. What?”
The low, hard voice of Batman replied, “I can see that, Batgirl. I must say your choice of moves… is quite... interesting.”
“Interesting!” squawked Dick, hearing his own voice jump an octave as what just happen sunk in. He was beaten by a kiss. Shooting up to a sitting position, he stared wide-eyed at Batman. “She cheated!” he exclaimed, angrily pointed at Batgirl.
Batgirl gapped at Dick, crossing her arms over her chest. "Excuse me?"
Batman’s eyes narrowed on Robin. “How so?”
“She... she kissed me! That’s not a move! That’s a… a… it’s cheating!” Dick stammered, struggling to put the action into words. His brain was betraying him, because all he could think about was the taste of Batgirl's lips: sweet with cherry lip gloss he was certain and something else he had never tasted before. Unconsciously, he licked his lips, and immediately, he scolded himself for it. He’d been kissed before but never in the middle of a fight and certainly never by Batgirl.
That's when he noticed Batgirl was looking down on him with a smug look. “No, Boy Wonder. That’s being creative, doing exactly what my opponent wouldn’t expect, so that I could beat you and win.”
“Well put, Batgirl” Batman agreed. "While I wouldn't recommend it for every fight, I'm glad to see you thinking outside of the box. Good job."
Dick couldn't believe Batman was congratulating her. He particularly didn't like how Batman's praise made Batgirl's smile grow even wider. She turned her beaming gaze back on Dick and winked at him in a very teasing way. “But don’t go getting your hopes up, Boy Wonder. You won’t be getting another one any time soon. That was purely instructional, I can assure you.”
Dick fumed about being outsmarted by Batgirl and about the kiss that he never saw coming.
