Chapter 1

The Roommates

It's haven't been to Gotham in years, in fact I rarely ever even think about Gotham these days. It's not that I had a huge falling out with the others and wanted to hide myself from them. It's nothing like that, everyone I use to talk to in Gotham knows where I am. I say use to talk to because we really don't talk much anymore. A little depressing but it's not like I didn't have other friends. Bart came up behind me as I was making breakfast.

" Hey Tim. Man I can't believe Connor andCassie are finally getting married. You're the best man. Do you know what you're going to say for toast."

"Not quite sure yet, but I'll figure something out."

Bart Allen and I have been good friends since we both kids in Young Justice. Man those days seem so far away. We grew up together neither of were kids any more. Bart grew up to take on the same name Wally, Barry, and Jay all took on before him. Making him the fourth in what seemed to be a long going Flash legacy.

Me? Well, Bruce is still Batman and Dick's still Nightwing but I couldn't just stay as Robin. I had to grow up sometime plus I moved far away from Gotham. So I took on a new name as Crossfire. I actually didn't come up with name Mia thought it was cool. I'm a little depressed thinking about her since she died two years ago …aids.It was then I heard my other roommate come into the kitchen.

"Hey guys! What's up?"
"Not much. Are you hungry? I'm making breakfast."

"Sure"

I really didn't mind cooking for other people. Except Bart because he ate a lot… from I understand all speedsters do. The roommate who just entered the room though was no speedster. His name was Jimmy Olsen and he's good friends with Superman. Jimmy was a good guy, by now he pretty much knew everyone's secret identity but he really didn't care. He was happy to be friends with all of us.

He left the Daily Planet about a year ago to take up a career in documentary film making. Often times going undercover to find out expose the truth about underground crime rings, child prostitution rings, and government scandals. In way Jimmy is a hero he just doesn't wear a mask or put on tights. I still had one other roommate. But we hardly ever saw him so we didn't expect him to be around and that would Kyle Rayner also known as Ion. Kyle was hardly around because he was often out in space playing space cop.

Whenever he is around though he always wants to take us out partying…says he needs to remember what it's like to be human. I liked this arrangement mainly because none us really had to hide our secret identies around each other. Also it makes rent cheaper which all the difference when you're renting out a house in Miami Beach. After breakfast I went out to my classes, I was a college student majoring in computer engineering. Almost done with school to thank god. As I went outside the hot sun beamed down. It was so bright, warm, and inviting. Miami was nothing like Gotham.
