"Don't let your personal feelings get in the way of your judgment. One girl isn't worth risking Gotham or anything else." Bruce said coldly.
"Screw you! I'll do ANYTHING to help Caitlin! You don't like it, take your uniform back!" Tim said defiantly.
"Congratulations. I was waiting for this moment. You have the night off. Nightwing, patrol The Narrows. I'll deploy Huntress and Cassandra to cover Tim's route." Bruce said.
"Okay. I hate these tests of yours, by the way." Tim said.
"Take her somewhere nice. Take your gear, just in case." Dick said.
"Really? What happened to a night off?" Tim asked.
"It's a precaution." Dick urged.
"Fine, whatever." Tim relented.
Dick packed a bag for Tim of his gear. Oracle made sure that the gear was remotely deactivated.
"Have fun, bro." Dick joked.
Tim was waiting for Cait at a restaurant and analyzing ways to escape.
"Knock it off, Drake. Focus." Tim said.
Cait approached in a black dress and curly golden hair.
Tim felt his heart skip a beat and his mouth go dry.
"Whoa. Aphrodite made flesh..." Tim drooled.
"Too much?" She asked shyly.
"No. You look beautiful. Shall we?" He asked as he offered his arm.
She happily took it and felt at peace.
They had a wonderful dinner and had casual conversations.
Tim had hidden the bag and lied about the contents.
It hurt him, but it was necessary.
They both thought each other was The One.
They both went in for a kiss when gunshots rang out and Nightwing crashed through a window.
Tim flipped their table up and grabbed his gear.
"Stay down and low! I'm gonna go call the cops" He shouted as he left.
"Oracle here. What's up, Tim?" She asked as Tim activated his comm.
"Gear. Activate. NOW." Tim ordered in a terse tone.
"Done. GCPD is en route. Huntress and Cassandra are tied up with Sionis or they'd help." Oracle said.
"Got it. Thanks, O." Tim said as he geared up.
He grappled to Nightwing and threw Birdarangs at the shooter.
"Angle your escrima stick. Let's end this." Tim said, anger evident in his voice.
"Got it." Dick said as his stick hit the shooter in the head.
"Can't believe this. You were gonna handle things tonight! What the hell happened?!" Tim shouted.
"Warren White and Sionis dropped in for a visit. I don't control what they do, squirt!" Dick snapped.
"Don't know why I expected anything different tonight. It's always the same. Every night. I'm out of here." Tim said as he left on the Redbird.
Back at the Manor, Tim angrily tossed his gear off and stormed to the Cave.
"I am DONE with letting Robin get in the way of my happiness. I'm done. It's over. Cait coulda gotten hurt tonight because of all of this." Tim said to Bruce.
"Take some time to think this through." Bruce said.
Tim threw his gear at Bruce's feet and left.
"So.......THAT coulda gone better." Dick said sarcastically.
"There's something going on near Wayne Tower. Get going." Bruce said.
"Nice talk, Bruce." Dick said dryly.
