Abbie had crossed her arms staring down Robin, she couldn’t believe she was doing this. Her heart was racing, her head was pounding but she had to remain calm.

“Tim, turn on your scanner under your mask.” Barbara said into the earpiece which Robin followed directions.

“I don’t have anything on me, but scan me if you want.” Abbie said sounding annoyed with the formalities.

“We can’t be too careful Miss Dent, especially with…”

“Who my father is, I get it.” Her voice sounded irritated but her crossed arms and swaying feet said she was sad.

“Tim, she doesn’t have anything on her, not even a bracelet or earring that could hide a listening device. And the only thing within a five mile radios is a cat about two miles east. Well that and Dick on his bike…”

That’s when Nightwing arrived and Abbie turned her hazel-green gaze to him. Her lips pushed together has he spoke. Letting go of her lips she spoke to him, “It’s still tender; looks like you’re back on your feet though. That’s good to see Nightwing.” Yes she used his name, no insults, no bickering, no rude comments; she used his name.

“We need to talk about the situation at hand.” She took a deep breath before continuing. “I know you don’t have any reason to trust me but I’m now in a place where I can finally help. With my father being…” Her voice cracked slightly, her attention moved to her feet. Nothing was more obvious than she was in pain; pain from finding out who her dad actually was. “who he is means that I have an insight into the underbelly of Gotham. This means I can help.” Her gaze moved back up to the two heroes. “There’s a lot happening, and some big things are going to go down. Now I’m in the middle of it. My father wants me to help, learn to take over the family business and… I can’t, I have… Someone---” Her drug out a bit before taking in a deep breath and letting it out to calm herself down. “I care about and I don’t want him to get hurt.”

“I have some ideas and would like to prove to you that I’m on your side.” She locked eyes with Nightwing, knowing full well that he was the one most likely to make the decision and she found herself holding her breath in anticipation.
