"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Batgirl screamed. "WHY DID YOU NOT TELL US? ARE WE NOT A TEAM?

"Babs we-" I tried to explain but was cut off.

"NO! We're your friends, we're a team but obviously that doesn't matter. We could have helped but no, you made us believe Artemis was dead and that Aqualad was evil. You took unnecessary risks" Batgirl ranted on. "You know what Nightwing, you've become what you've tried not to be. The Batman. I still don't know why Batman bothered to adopt you. You should have rotted at the Juvenal centre, actually NO you should have jumped after them. Good thing their dead so they can't see what are disgust you are!"

Batgirl quickly covered her mouth as she just realised what she said. I felt anger inside me rise.

How dare she bring up my family? HOW DARE SHE JUDGE ME?

"Don't ever being up my family, you can scream at me and call me every name under the sun but don't bring my family into this" I growled.

Before she could say another word I stormed out, ignoring all the looks I was being given. I just needed to get out.

Recognized: Nightwing BO1

Jump city, finally away from the hate. I got dressed in my civvies and made my way to the tower. I decided to walk, to clear my mind.

(AT THE T TOWER)

"Nightwing! Dude what's up?" Beastboy smiled, fist bumping Nightwing. Nightwing smiled back but it didn't reach his eyes like it always did. (A/N: TT Beastboy is 18 like Nightwing but is still younger)

"Nothing much just decided to come stop by. Need sometime away." Nightwing replied.

Beastboy gave him a sympathetic look. "They're still giving you a hard time".

"Yeah, but enough about me. Look what I've got" Nightwing said in a sing-song voice, pulling Mortal Kombat X from behind his back.

Beastboy gasped and pulled Nightwing into a hug.

"You're the best brother and bestest friend I could ever ask for" Beastboy exclaimed.

Nightwing felt uplifted, he felt his problems melt away. Nightwing grinned and dragged Beastboy into the gaming room. When they got the game set up they played a tournament going against other teams and played one on one.

An hour after playing the brothers were watching the purge when Nightwing got a text on messenger. He looked at the text it was from Barbra.

Where are you? You can't just run off without telling anybody! You had worried D. Call me after you get this text.

Nightwing just put away his phone and went back to watching the movie. Ten minutes later he got another text.

Ok I know you're angry but I can't take all the blame. U didn't tell us, your team about the plan u made us believe Artemis was dead and that Kaldur was evil. I'm sorry about saying that about your family, I'm sorry that I even thought of those words but u should be sorry too. If u hadn't have come up with that plan nothing would have ever happened.

"D. Want to talk about it?" BB asked. Nightwing nodded.

"BB I don't know I'm gonna do. My friends hate me, everywhere I go all I get are glares. The justice league are acting like things never happened and Batman, He's acting like I don't exist. Every time I try to talk to him, he either ignores me or goes to talk to Tim or the others like I wasn't a part of the family. It's always when I need him the most that he just isn't there. The only people that talk to me are Kaldur and Artemis. I don't know how long I can go. Every day I take their insults, their glares with a smile. But I'm breaking BB. It's only time before they hurt me so bad that I just break completely"

Nightwing just realized he was crying as he talked to Beastboy. Beastboy hugged Nightwing, he knew he shouldn't ask the next question but he had to.

"And what did Barbra say?" Beastboy asked.

"She said that Bruce should have left me at the Juvenal centre to rot then she said that I should have jumped after them. That it was good that they were better off dead so they couldn't see how much of a failure I am" Nightwing whispered.

Beastboy held Nightwing tighter as he cried. Beast boy felt his heart break. How could they say something so harsh? Beastboy thought. Beast boy felt tears run down his own face. He felt emotionally connected to Nightwing. Nightwing emotions always radiated off him. And the pain that Nightwing felt was beyond words.

Beastboy didn't know how long they stayed there for but he didn't mind. His brother needed comfort and that was all that mattered.

After a while they fell asleep next to each other.
