12 years I've lived in Batman's shadow. Now at 23 I've decided to leave name is Dick Grayson and I am Nightwing. I'm still living at Wayne Manor but I've been given my freedom. Bruce still tries to protect me. A couple years ago we met Tim Drake I passed on the Robin mantle to him. I could not think of anyone better. His detective skills put mine to shame and he can rival Batman.

As I sit in the Batcave and watch Tim and Bruce argue over how The Joker broke out of Arkham Asylum again, my mind wanders back to last night. I was out trying to find Deathstroke, with Batgirl. We sat and talked waiting for Deathstroke he never showed up. Ive known Barbara since I was 13, we dated for a few years and broke up when I left to Bludhavan. At some point last night we decided to get back together. Bruce never approved of our relationship; he never liked us dating teammates. I guess it goes back to him and Catwoman, or him and Talia. How would I tell him Barbara and I were back together.

Tim looks over "Dick" I snap out of the daydream I was in and look up. "Did you happen to see Commissioner Gordon last night?"

"No, why" I asked

"Because He was at Arkham last night when Joker broke out and we haven't heard from him" said Bruce

Why hadn't Barbara told me? I wondered "Do you think the Joker kidnapped him?" I asked

"It wouldn't be the first time" said Bruce "Tim tell Alfred to wait on Dinner tonight"

"In other words don't make Dinner till at least four AM, correct, Master Bruce?" Alfred appeared behind Bruce. For the being the world's greatest detective Alfred snuck up on him an awful lot.

Tim and Bruce headed to the Batmobile to go to Arkham and see about any clues to find the Commissioner. Meanwhile I called Barbara.
