Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice, and never will unfortunately. So, no this isn't a sequel to Wonderwing nor a prequel as I've yet to come up with a good story. but this is more of a rebuilding of the team so to speak.


He did not blame them.

He did not blame them for wanting to revoke his leadership, to revoke his membership, nor Zatanna's slap in the face.

He didn't blame them for being confused and hurt over his actions, for Megan and Connor especially to not be able to trust him.

He knew that he was to blame, and while Kaldur, Artemis and Wally tried to take the blame off of his shoulders. He wouldn't let them, because it was his plan, and his choice for them to go through with this.

Even if The Light and The Reach had been defeated, it didn't make what he did any better.

So, here he stands on a rooftop in the dead of night, wondering if they will truly miss him when he is gone.

After all, he lied to them, betrayed them, became the very thing he swore he'd never become. Although they had won against their enemies, he'd lost the trust and respect of his team, put two of his best friends in life threatning danger, and for what? some mission that in the end would cost him dearly.

He'd lost his family a second time, and this time he himself had been the cause of it.

" What the hell are you doing?" asked a familiar voice.

He looked back at Jason, in his red hood attire, the second robin took off the hood and glared at his older brother.

" What does it look like?" asked Dick, Jason's features softened this wasn't his confident, happy, calm and collected older brother he could tell that Dick was hurting very badly.

"This isn't the awnser, I know because I've tried it before." said Jason, in a soft voice. He joined his brother on the ledge, his green eyes never leaving Dick's blue ones. Dick gazed at his little brother in shock, wondering when Jason had attempted suicide? Almost as if reading his mind, Jason turned to face the horizon and awnsered.

"When I was a kid, and my dad sold me out to Sewer king...when I was" he paused and narrowed his eyes, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

He sighed and continued on,

"All I remember was wanting to die because I was in so much pain and he...they hurt me really badly. Finally one day, I decided to just give up and die...then I saw you, you'd been Nightwing for about a year at the time, I forgot why you were there. But I saw you kicking ass and you gave me hope." explained Jason, he turned to his brother and offered up a rare smile. Jason was one to rarely speak his feelings or show emotions, so moments like this were special.

"I did?" asked Dick, Jason nodded and tousled his hair, almost like the roles had been reversed, with Jason being the older brother and Dick the little one.

"I used to take the other kids punishments for them, and I thought if I died who was going to be their hero...their Nightwing, so when I saw the batmobile just sitting there, I decided I'd be a hero by taking the wheels off the Batmobile and selling them to earn enough cash to help them escape. You know what happend next."

Dick smiled, he remembered that the very first mission Jason asked upon becoming Robin, was stopping Sewer King, when asked why, he'd only said that he had his reasons. Now he knew, Jason was being a hero to the kids he used to protect.

"If you die, whose going to be the hero? whose going to keep Bats from being a deppressing wreck? whose going to teach the new Robin the ropes?" asked Jason, looking back at Dick out of the corner of his eye.

"The point is Wingnut, yeah, you fucked up but giving up isn't the awnser, instead of sitting on your ass and moping you should work on earning their trust back."

"Thanks Jaybird, I needed that." said Dick with a small smile.

"Anytime, although if you tell anyone about what I told you, then I'm going to kick your ass." said Jason, jokingly. Making Dick laugh, Jason smiled in turn, it was great to see Dick back to his old self.

"Theres the Jason I know and love." said Dick hugging Jason, Jason stood rigidly still he didn't like physical contact...at all, but Dick needed it right now so he'd let him... in the meantime he had a bone to pick with his former teammatess, especially a little bird.

He cleared his throat which immediately made Dick let go, remembering his brother didn't like being hugged for too long.

"You should get some sleep, let the police handle Bludhaven for tonight you look tired enough as it is." said Jason, in his best strict voice. Dick nodded deciding to follow his brother's advice besides he had alot on his mind tonight, and with that Nightwing jumped from rooftop to rooftop on route to his apartment.

"What would you do without me idiot?" asked Jason to himself, a playful smirk on his face as he jumped off in search of the third Robin. He pulled out his cell and dialed Wally's cellphone

"Hey Wal, you were right he was about to do something stupid." said Jason, he was greatful Wally had called him and told him to go after Nightwing, before he did something hed' reget.

"What'd I tell 'ya Jay, do I know my bestfriend or what?" asked Wally, the relief was evident in his voice. Had he been angry with Dick? yes, but he was only angry because not only had he put Kaldur and Artemis in danger, but himself as well. And thanks to the team, Dick's self confidence had taken a nose dive, he was just glad Jason had responded and gone to Bludhaven, while he and Artemis had staked out Gotham and Kaldur watched near his apartment, Just incase Dick had gotten any ideas.

"Yeah, I told him to get some sleep in his apartment, so tell Kal he's going his way." said Jason, before hanging up. he stopped when he saw Robin run past him.

Jason however, was faster as he ran over and rammed into Tim's side, knocking him off balance.

"Jason? what're-" he was cut off by Jason grabbing him by his collar and hoisting him up so that he was at eye level.

"We birdy, are going to have a little talk, man to man, Robin to Robin." said Jason threatningly.

Tim's eyes widened, he'd been on his way to see if Nightwing was ok, he hadn't expected Jason to be around.


"Ok babe, that was Jay, Nightwing's gone back to his apartment, Kaldur's taking the first shift in case he gets any ideas, I'll be taking over after a few hours." said Wally in a commanding voice,he seemed rather tense.

Artemis cupped his cheek and looked into his green eyes.

"I know you're worried, I am too but theres something else bothering you isn't there?" she asked, whenever there was something wrong, he seemed to tense up almost as if he was building an imaginary wall around himself.

"Its nothing, c'mon we should be heading back." he replied smiling at her in an effort to hide his feelings, it always seemed to work before, so why not now?

Artemis took his hand in hers, and opened her mouth to say something when Wally's cellphone began to ring.

"Hello?" he awnsered.

"Wally, Batman just contacted me, it seems we're needed back at the cave." said Dick.

Wally looked back at Artemis who nodded in response, he picked her up bridal style and ran in the direction of the new cave.
