M'gann: 21

Wally: 23

Roy: 24

Aretimis: 22

*M'gann/Miss Martian*

Nightwing had snuck into the mountain, he was curently hanging off the rafters and thinking about what to do... 'Who should I tell first? Connor, Wally, Aretimis... M'gann!' Said Martian had just walked through the room and into the kitchen 'I guess somethings never change... even after four years.' He gracefully leapt down, not making a sound as his feet touched the ground. And he followed M'gann to the kitchen.

M'gann was opening up the cupboards looking for the ingredients of her famous cookies when suddenly she sensed another mind in the room, new but oddly familiar, she quickly turned to be face to face with a tall, handsome young man in a black kevlar outfit with a bird on the chest and a domino mask on his face. "W-who are you?" He just smirked at her question and sat up on the table, and they stared at each other for a few minutes, she then tried to read his mind failing for a few minutes until he said "Trying to read my mind are you, here I'll let you have a peek."

And that peek was all she needed... With an open mouth she looked up at the young man. "Robin?" And then they hugged.

"Dick, I can't believe your here. We all thought you were dead... well except Batman, he never stopped searching, he even quit the Justice

League for a year to look for you... How old are you now?" Dick smiled at this information and answered her question "Well, it's nice to know Batman cares. And my age, well I'm 18 now. And as you can see I'm finally taller!" He added the last bit to lift some of the awkwardness. "Robin..." M'gann didn't know what to say. 'I can't believe he is 18... it seems only yesterday that he was fourteen...' "I'm not Robin anymore Miss M. I'm Nightwing, defender of Blüdhaven! I think the costume is pretty aster."

M'gann smiled at his antics but still felt sad on the inside that Robin had grown up and none of his family was with him... not even Batman. But her thoughts were shoved to the back of her mind when she hugged Dick again, "Ok Nightwing. Do you want to help me make cookies?"

*Conner Kent/Superboy*

Conner was in the training room repeatedly punching a wall, for some reason... He was interupted from his rampage on the poor wall when he heard his girlfriends laughter from the kitchen and then another voice, it sounded like... Robin! He quickly left the room and headed to the kitchen 'Robin... it sounds so much like him, deeper but it IS him. I just know it!'

He rounded the corner and saw M'gann and... who was that? He quickly went into a battlestance but stopped when M'gann stood in front of the stranger, blocking Superboy from charging at him. "Conner! Wait, it's not a villan! It's Dick!" The man in question took off his mask to reveal two startlingly beautiful blue eyes... "Hey Supey, long time no see." The two men looked at each other for a minute and then Conner's rare smile appeared on his lips, he pulled Dick into a hug (Not a long one mind you, a bro hug! XD) "Wow Robin, what is up with you and your outfits?" Conner said bluntly as they released each other from the BRO hug, "New fashion sense Supey, besides I'm not Robin anymore... I'm Nightwing!"

*Zatanna Zatara*

Zatanna was lying down on the couch and watching the T.V, She didn't do much, after Robin dissapeared and the her father unable to be free of fate she had a mental breakdown, She didn't feel the urge to do anything... she had even considered ending it all, three quick slips of a blade across her wrist and it would all be over. But she knew her father and even Dick wouldn't want that, and she had to honour them. So there she lay, locked up in her room in the mountain, she never came out anymore. Everything was so bleak.

But suddenly, a man walked right infront of the T.V, she was going to give out when she saw his face, the eyes of the boy she had fallen in love with. "Dick? Am I going crazy..." Dick looked down at her sadly "What have you done to yourself?" But Zatanna ignored his question, being hypnotized by his eyes, Dick was about to ask her again when he was pulled into a massive hug by her. "Dick! Oh god, Richard I missed you so much, everyone thought you were dead and... Oh god! I missed you so much," She burys her head into his chest and crys silent tears. "I missed you too Zee, I see I clearly left you in a bad state of mind," He replies looking down at his former crush. "Listen Robin it's ok, I don't care about that stuff now, what matters now is that you are here and I-I-I love you Dick," She tries to pull him into a kiss but he pulls back.

"Zee... I really am sorry, but I'm not Robin anymore, I'm Nightwing now. And I've grown up..." Zatanna in complete denial stares up at Nightwing "What are you saying! You-you can't be different, your still Dick, I love you!" Dick shakes his head, "I'm sorry Zatanna" She flinches slightly as he uses her full name "But I'm in love with someone else... we've been together 2 years now, and I love her. I'm sorry." He then turns and leaves trying his best not to let the cries from the broken female break him as he put back on his mask.

M'gann and Conner were waiting in the hall "How did it go?" But Richard didn't need to answer as they soon heard Zatanna's broken sobs and shouts echo down the hallway. He quickly went to bioship hanger and left without another word.

*Wally West/Kid Flash - Aretimis Crock/Aretimis*

Wally and Aretimis were in their apartment, the couple were currently having a little make-out session, when a knock at the door interupted them, "They'll go away in a minute Arty, now... where were we?" As they were about to begin were they left off the front door just opened, and the man standing behind it was very tall, attractive and had theese gorgeous blue eyes that stood out in the dimly lit room, "Hey!" Wally shouted getting up from his seat and walking up to the man "What the hell are you doing! Breaking into our house like this! You have three seconds to get out before I call the cops and kick your ass!" The man chuckled and then said to him "I thought you said I could call to you any time KF, I think thats why you gave my the key." The look of shock on Wally's face made the man laugh again, but this time in sounded more like a cackle... on that he and Aretimis hadn't heard in years. They both said it at the same time "Rob..."

Before Nightwing knew what was happening he was being hugged tightly by the now retired heros. He hugged back before saying something "Heh, you guys are gonna have to call me a new nickname. Not Robin anymore, I'm Nightwing now." Aretimis smirked "God Dick, he growing up, you look taller than Kaldur, and... you got some abs. I think Nightwing will really go down with girls." "Aretimis! I thought you loved me!" "I do wallman but every now and then a girl need a little... eye candy."

Nightwing laughed as the couple began to argue, they finally stopped when they realised that Dick was recording them. "RICHARD JOHN GRAYSON! Give me that phone now!" Realising how much trouble he was in he quietly did a backflip out the door and hid in the shadows. "DAMMIT! HE PULLED A BATMAN!" Deciding he would talk to them later he sent them a text and the went to find his next teammate.

*Kaldur'amh/Aqua Lad*

Kaldur was at the Happy Harbour docks, he stared at the water from which he was raised and watched the ripples. He was so unfocused, just staring at the water, that he didn't notice Dick sitting beside him until he spoke, "Hey Kaldur." Shocked by this young man he nearly fell in, but he managed to regain his composure and he then turned to Dick "I'm sorry but do I know you?" he watchs as the stranger nods "You know me very well Kaldur'amh, I haven't seen you in a while but, I think you would still know me."

Puzzled by this person Kaldur turns his back on him, thinking over what he just said, racking his brain for any possible answer to who this man is, and then it hit him like concrete bricks, "Robin?" "Phew Kaldur, I thought you had forgotten me... Nightwing by the way..." Kaldur looked at him confused "My name is Nightwing, no more Robin." They both stared off into the distance, not knowing what to say, "Hows the role of leader goin' Kal?" "Fine, but It might be better if you were on the team too my friend." "No can do Kaldur, at least not at the moment... I'm working out in Blüdhaven and well you know... busy." Nightwing ended his sentance bluntly, "I have to go back soon so I better go, still have to see Roy."

Kaldur nodded and watched his friend get up, and just as Nightwing was about to leave he was suddenly tackled into a hug, Kaldur hugged the man and then let go in surprise when he realised the youngest was now taller than him. "Take care my friend, and do vist soon... we were all very worried." Nightwing smiled then shot his grappling hook into the darkness and disappeared.

*Roy Harper/Red Arrow*

He was on a high roof in Star City, his wife Chesire was back home playing with their daughter Lian and he was out here... brooding. 'Ugh... I feel like Batman.' As he turned back to go the way he came a figure landed infront of him, tall and lean. The man stared at Roy for a moment, then he spoke "Hey Roy, what's up?" Roy stared at the man before spitting at him and saying darkly "How do you know who I am?!" He got into a battle stance and charged at the man. He threw punch after punch and even tried to shoot him, narrowly missing him with two. "Woah Roy! ROY STOP! It's me, Dick, Richard, Robin!" Roy stopped trying to fight him but it didn't make him anyless angry. "WHAT! Dick, where the hell have you been theese past four years? Well now I know making yourself the centre of attention by becoming a new hero and not talking to anyone! NOT EVEN ME, WALLY OR BRUCE!" Roy screamed at him for a solid 10 minutes and when he stopped screaming he started throwing insults at him.

He tried to calm Roy down, it only made him angrier. Dick knew he couldn't get through to him like this and was about to leave when Roy suddenly grabbed his shoulder and landed a solid punch in Dick's face. "You've always wanted the attention Grayson... I should have known only a circus freak like you would pull a stunt like that, were mommy and daddy's death not enough for ya'!" Theese words poured out of Roy's mouth before he could stop it, he suddenly realised what he had said and looked down at his friend on the floor, he... he was crying. Roy tried to help him up but was only shoved away. And before he could say anything else Dick was gone...

AN: Was that good? I might do another chapter about Roy saying sorry to Dick, But the next two chapters will be about how the team and the batfamily react to Nightwing's new girlfriend... Anyone guess who it is? BTW I've not given up on my other stories but I have a bit of writers block... so ya. I'll post the next chapter soon! Bye!
