Steph wanted to throttle Dick. Okay, sure, throwing Damian off the tallest building in Gotham for calling her Fatgirl may have been a little harsh, but her midol had just stopped working, so her cramps were back. Plus, she wasn’t quite in the mood to be called fat when she felt it. So for throwing Damian off a building, Dick ordered her off the streets for the rest of the night.

And Babs had agreed, which just made Steph angrier. She shut off her comm and swung home in a complete huff. Half way home, Steph ran into Tim on a rooftop, literally. With ‘oof,’ she fell flat on her ass.

“Steph? Are you okay?” Tim asked, offering her hand to help her up. “You look...pissed actually.”

She grudgingly grabbed his hand and let him pull her up. “People should really stop pissing me off when I have the cramps from hell,” she stated sourly. “And when I mean people, I mean Damian and Dick.”

Tim grimaced. “Well, I come in peace, and I didn’t mean to knock you over,” he offered with a smile. “The Ducati’s only a few alleys away. I could drive you home, if you want?”

Steph thought about the offer for a moment, feeling her anger from earlier dissipate as quickly as it came. “Okay,” she accepted, grinning for a moment. “Did you start writing my cycle down on your calendar again?”

“Hey, it’s totally out of self preservation,” Tim replied offering her hand to swing her down to his bike. “I’ve calendar just for the women I know in the hero community.”

Steph snorted, taking him up on his offer and wrapping her arms around his neck before they swung off the building. “Hehe, I knew there was a reason I dated you,” she said cheekily. “So considerate and wanting to be the only guy us girls don’t want to throttle on our periods.”

“That’s me,” he replied. “No reason to make that time of the month for you guys any worse than is has to be.”

She jumped down when they reached the Ducati. “You’re so sweet,” she said circling the Ducati. “Sweet enough to let me drive, maybe?”

Tim cringed, looking torn between his bike and being on Steph’s shit list for the rest of week. Steph giggled and patted his cheek before gesturing for him to get on as she swung her leg to get on the back part of the seat.

“I was kidding,” she told him. “You wouldn’t have been in trouble had you said no.”

“Ha. Ha,” Tim said dryly as he got on his bike. “Hold on tight.”

He revved the engine, and Steph wrapped her arms around his waist. “Always,” she murmured then they were off towards her house.

How perfectly Tim! Of course he would have a calendar specific to the women in the community and their cycles. I wouldn't be surprised if he had one for the villains as well!

And Dick should know better. I can't imagine that Babs was all that pleasant to be around when she was on her period during her Batgirl days.

[shiny-glor-chan.livejournal.com]

Totally. Because it's really a matter self preservation! XD

Dick should know better, but he doesn't. XD

Tim would so have a calender like that. :P

[shiny-glor-chan.livejournal.com]

Hehe, of course he would. <3 It'd be the smart thing to do.

You already know I love. :) *draws hearts*

[shiny-glor-chan.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D <3 <3 <3

Aww... Tim is sweet, even if his calender-keeping *is* creepy.

And Damian and Dick better steer clear of Steph for a while, if they know what's best for them. :p

[shiny-glor-chan.livejournal.com]

Totally creepy, but useful! Just like Timmy! XD

They really should, but you know they won't because they don't think all the time. XD

She's lying. He would have been in total trouble if he said no and he knows it. Smart boy.

[shiny-glor-chan.livejournal.com]

Lol, maaaaybe~ Hahaha, very smart boy. <3

Of course Tim has calandars of all the women in masks and capes periods. He has graphs and calandars of all moon cycles, tide cycles, delivery of schedules for the Zesti trucks and Dick's break-up to make-up cycle w/ Babs, Roy, Conner, Kory and Jason.
Tim has calanders and graphs of the world cause he's...Tim!
Thanks for the giggles baby.

XD Of course. Timmy is perfectly anal like that and totally smart enough to keep is ass safe from hormonal women. XD Glad you liked it.
