Summary: Bernard and Steph both have a thing for Tim...Tim likes both of them...which one will he choose? The answer will shock and astound you!
Author's Notes: YES SPOILED is DONE! I love finishing WiP's. Makes me feel all finished and stuff. Thank youjulius12 for betaing as always, and aravistarkheena for prodding me into finishing this. I'm really happy with this whole series. Though I wasn't entirely sure how to resolve it really until the last minute. Well, I knew where I was working towards, but then it didn't go where I expected it to go. Still, it's better this way. Previous part.
Tim had known this was coming.
He pulled over to the side of the road, not saying a word.
"Tim," Steph said. "Bernard's right. We do need to talk."
"I know, I know," Tim said.
"Well?" Bernard asked.
"Well what?" Tim said. "What do you want me to say?"
"Which, if either of us, you want to date, for one," Bernard said.
Tim said nothing.
"Come on, Tim!" Steph said impatiently.
"I don't know what to say," Tim said. "Steph, I love you. I've always loved you. I missed you so much when I thought you were dead, and now you're not. I mean, in some ways it would make sense to pick up where we left off. I never fell out of love with you."
"Knew it," Bernard said, and Tim couldn't look at him in the mirror.
Steph put up a hand. "But…" she said, urging Tim to continue.
"But I love you too, Bernard."
"You do?" Bernard said.
"Yes," Tim turned in his seat to face them. "Bernard, the past few weeks…even before them, I mean, I would never have cheated on Steph, but I did kind of like you, even then. And…you're so…I don't know. I can't predict you at all. And I kind of like that."
"So you love us both," Steph said. "Who do you want to date, then?"
"I don't know," Tim said. "I can't pick."
"You have to," Steph said.
"How can I?" Tim said. "If I pick you, I shouldn't have dated Bernard in the first place. If I pick Bernard, I'll still miss you."
"Oh, stop whining and pick one of us before we both dump you and date each other," Steph said.
"Do that," Tim said. "I'm a terrible person to date anyway."
"Don't be ridiculous," Steph and Bernard said.
"If we leave you alone, you're likely to go into Bat-brooding mode," Steph said.
"No," Bernard said. "It's clear what needs to be done here. Tim," he said, his voice staying almost completely steady, "we have to break up. Be with Steph. It's always been her you want, anyway."
"I want you too, Bernard," Tim said.
"Don't make this harder!" Bernard said. "I was just friends with you for years, I can go back without a problem."
"This is all wrong," Tim said. "Bernard, I feel awful – "
"Just drive me home," Bernard said.
"There actually is a better solution," Steph said.
"Oh, what are you complaining about?" Bernard said.
"Shut up, Bernard," Steph said. "Look. We both like Tim, right? And he likes both of us?"
"...what are you getting at, here?" Tim asked.
"And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Bernard and I like each other."
"Yes," Bernard said cautiously.
"So the answer's clear," Steph said. "Threesome!"
Tim and Bernard stared at her.
"No way," Tim said. "There is absolutely no way that could actually work."
"Actually, I'd be okay with it," Bernard said. "I mean, assuming Tim – "
"Look, I know it sounds like a good idea," Tim said. "But think about it logically! We'd get jealous of the other two. That's just how these things work."
"We could at least try it," Steph said.
"I mean, it could work," Bernard said. "Please, Tim?"
Tim looked from Steph to Bernard and back. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes," Steph and Bernard said.
Tim looked down thoughtfully. It was almost too good to be true. And it'd save him from having to pick between the two of them.
"Well, if you both are absolutely sure," he said. "I'm...willing to try it."
"Yes!" Bernard said.
Steph whooped and kissed Bernard.
Batman wasn't due to be back in for a few hours at least so Tim, Steph, and Bernard bypassed the cave, the door, and Alfred by sneaking through Tim's window.
"I still say we should have told Alfred you'd be debriefing us," Bernard said.
Tim just rolled his eyes. "I'm still not sure – "
"Stop worrying," Steph said, pulling off her cloak.
In a few minutes, they were undressed.
"Okay," Bernard said. "What now?"
They stared at each other for a few moments.
"You two," Steph said. "Kiss."
"What?" Bernard said.
"We gotta start somewhere!" Steph said. "Plus, it'd be really hot."
Tim glanced at Bernard, who shrugged. Then they were kissing, and it was better than ever. And very naked. Tim could feel Bernard's cock digging into his hip and he knew he was just as hard, and oh, Bernard was moving down to his neck, and Tim flung his head back to give him more room –
"Ow!" Steph said as Tim's head slammed into her nose.
"Oh!" Tim ripped his mouth away from Bernard and turned to Steph. "Sorry, I didn't see you."
"It's okay," Steph said, gingerly prodding her nose. "Ow."
"Do you need ice or something?" Bernard asked.
"No, no, I'm fine," Steph said. "Should we keep going?"
"Sure," Tim said. "Um. Maybe we should go to the bed?"
"Bed seems good," Bernard said, sitting on it. "Really nice sheets, Drake. I want a billionaire to adopt me."
"Ooh, talk dirty to me, baby," Steph said, rolling her eyes.
"What? They're really soft!" Bernard said.
Steph laughed and sat next to him. "Come on, Tim," she said.
Tim sat next to her. "What next?"
"Geeze, do I have to figure out everything?" Steph turned to Bernard. "Eat me out or something!"
"Okay," Bernard said, kneeling in front of her.
He bit his lip pensively, just looking for far too long.
Finally Steph closed her legs. "Okay," she said. "Tim, pass me my clothes."
"What?" Bernard looked up. "But – "
Steph kissed him, quickly, then pulled away. "Tim, Bernard, I'm breaking up with you."
"What?" Tim said.
"It's not working," Steph said.
"We can get better!" Bernard said.
"Yeah, but that's not it." Steph found her panties and tights and started pulling them on. "It's not that my nose still hurts. It's not that Bernard wouldn't know what to do with a vagina if it bit him, really, it isn't. It's just, well," She pulled the top of her costume over her head. "Look, Tim, I love you. I'll always love you. But really? I am so over you."
"You...are?" Tim said, sounding a little hurt.
"Yeah, and you're over me too. I mean, I saw how you were with Bernard. It was never like that for us," she said. "The only reason you still want me at all is because you remember what we had. Stick with Bernard. He's a good catch."
"I don't want – " Bernard said.
"No, I know, you were all ready to give up Tim because you thought he'd be happier with me, but trust me, that's not what he needs," Steph said. "I'm not the same person he remembers. I'm thinking I might get a new identity, too. Start fresh. Let you be Spoiler."
"I can't – " Bernard tried.
"You can," Steph pulled her cloak on and picked up her mask. "Robin needs a Spoiler. And that's not me anymore."
"Steph," Tim said. He stood up and grabbed her hand before she could put on her mask. "I love you," he said.
She smiled softly. "I know," she said. "I love you too."
He kissed her on the cheek. "Take care of yourself," he said.
Steph grinned. "Hey, it's not like you'll never see me again!" she said. "You are, after all, dating my sidekick." She pulled on her mask. "You kids have fun," she said.
"Steph!" Bernard said. She turned. Bernard was smiling, looking more happy than she'd ever seen him. "Thanks," he said.
"It's nothing," Steph said. "Bye guys." She jumped through the window and swung away into the night.
Bernard and Tim watched her go.
"Well," Bernard said.
"Yeah," Tim said. He put an arm around Bernard and nuzzled his shoulder.
"So I guess we're..."
"Yeah." Tim kissed his shoulder.
"...if I'd known Steph's approval would make you so affectionate, I'd have found you an Ouija board back when she was dead."
Tim laughed. "Wouldn't have helped."
"Still," Bernard shivered as Tim's kisses traveled up his shoulder. "Ah! Tim, you are aware that we are both still naked?"
Tim touched Bernard's thigh. "Mmhmm," he said.
"Okay," Bernard said. He turned, pushing Tim down onto the bed. "Just checking."

Date: 2008-07-12 02:11 pm (UTC)I am too! I may or may not have decided to leave that issue unresolved after not being able to think of a good new name for her...
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 2008-07-13 10:02 pm (UTC)And this is totally how Steph would handle it. &hearts

Date: 2008-07-13 10:43 pm (UTC)Though I do kind of know what might happen in a sequel.

Date: 2008-07-15 04:50 am (UTC)I like that the TRIED the threesome. I like that Steph knew it wasn't going to work. I like that the ending wasn't perfect but it WAS real.
I like that Tim has a Spoiler and Steph has a future and Bernard has a direction.
I loved this. It was an amazing series. I'm sad to see it end.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-15 05:00 am (UTC)Also, yay! My ending did shock and astound!
I'm just glad I actually finished it. I hate abandoning fics.
And it was fun writing them completely failing to have a threesome.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-17 09:42 pm (UTC)"You two," Steph said. "Kiss."
"What?" Bernard said.
"We gotta start somewhere!" Steph said. "Plus, it'd be really hot."
LOL! That was perfect! I loved Steph in every sentence of this series! Wonderful job! =)

no subject
Date: 2008-08-29 06:38 pm (UTC)Up until I wrote this chapter, it was going to end in threesome, but it was giving me issues. I wasn't sure it could work. See, I liked Tim/Steph and Tim/Bernard, and Steph/Bernard was oddly intriguing, so the three of them together should have been perfect! Except I don't think threesomes are very practical all in all. Except maybe Bart/Tim/Kon, but that's different. Anyway! This ended up making the most sense!
Glad you liked it!
no subject
Date: 2008-09-14 05:19 am (UTC)Also love and I was thinking threesome all along but it is pretty cool for Steph to go I'm not Robin or Spoiler anymore and become someone new that reflects where she is at now.
Great work!~ I love this fic and on a re-read it was just as good for love moments and scenes that just y'know even though the chapters are short tell so much it really is a great fic... so does having a tim_bernard comm encourage more spoiled like asequel or something of steph and misfit getting together or something like thagt?
