Why this must be read:
Fourteen-year-old Babs is nine-year-old Dick's babysitter. A spirited adventure with spot-on characterization, this story is so awesome, I couldn't help but adopt it as fanon. She creates the perfect atmosphere and appropriately adjusts the dialogue for their ages. Everytime I read this fic, I can't help but smile.

Of all the wealthy manors in all the world, she had to walk into mine. I knew she was trouble the first time I laid eyes on her. Orange-red braids tied back with kelly-green ribbons. Tortoiseshell glasses that gave her a studious (yet, sexy) owl-like look. A smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose, which added just a touch of character to an otherwise perfect complexion.

Behind the glasses, she had eyes that matched the color of her hair ribbons.

She had legs that went from here to--well to the ceiling it seemed. Gosh, but she was tall! I had to crane my neck back almost as far as when I was addressing Bruce. Well, maybe Alfred. But, hey, I was only nine and until she walked through the door of the study I was quite reasonably and maturely explaining to Bruce why nine year old ex-acrobats didn't require the services of a--babysitter!
