Author's Note: This story is loosely based off an episode of Teen Titans called, "A Date with Destiny," but with a few twists here and there. It takes place about half-way through the timeskip, so Robin has become Nightwing, Jason Todd is still alive, and Wally and Artemis have left for college together. Please send reviews!

The city of Gotham began as a distant blip on the horizon. Within a few seconds, it surrounded Wally West, the green and brown blurs of trees and fields melting into the grey and clear of buildings. The starry night was replaced by flashing billboards and windows that lit up everything around him and it took the speedster's eyes a moment to readjust. Something told him the architects hadn't planned for people to enter the city at speeds close to the sound barrier. Wally had made this trip dozens, perhaps hundreds of times before when he came to visit Dick. So when Dick gave him an urgent text telling him to meet atop the Falcone Imports Building, he didn't have to check the Internet for directions.

He zoomed up the staircase and stepped out onto the roof, where Dick was waiting. His new Nightwing costume faded into the cloudy night behind him.

"Glad you could make it, KF," said Nightwing. "It's so nice to be able to know I can rely on you."

The hero's smile felt forced, and he spoke through gritted teeth. Between this and the brevity of the text message Wally knew something was off. It was as if Dick thought they were being watched or something.

"What did you call me for?" he asked cautiously.

Nightwing stepped up to him and wrapped his arms around the speedster's neck. Wally looked into his eyes and was suddenly aware that Dick was now taller than him. Puberty had been much nicer to him than Wally, or anybody else Wally knew, for that matter.

"For this." said Nightwing, as he kissed Wally right on the lips.

Wally felt a similar sensation to the time Gorilla Grodd had punched him so hard he flew through one side of an office building and out the other. At the same time he was overcome with shock, confusion, and a little more excitement than he would like to admit. Why was his best friend, former adorable prankster and someone who now looked like they belonged on some fitness magazine cover, kissing him? His mind was reeling with possible answers. He had so much going through his mind that he stood there slack-jawed like an idiot, more still than he had been in years.

Nightwing's mouth moved to his right ear. "Don't panic," he whispered.

The door to the staircase opened and a girl with blond hair and a pink dress stepped out onto the rooftop. She screeched, "Just what the hell do you think you're doing!?"

Nightwing grinned. "Hey Kitty. What a surprise to see you here. Looks like you've caught me and Kid Flash in the act."

"Who are you and what the hell is going on?" Wally had had more than enough of all this.

Nightwing sounded as though he was about to giggle. "Kid Flash, meet Kitty Walker. Her father is the super-criminal Killer Moth."

Looking at the crazed look in the girl's eyes, Wally doubted that emotional balance psychological wellness ran in the family.

"As you can see, Kitty, Kid Flash and I are madly in love. That's why I won't go on a date with you. You've found my darkest secret. I guess your dad will have to release the hostages."

Kitty's eye twitched in a way that would haunt Wally's dreams. She said in a troublingly stilted fashion, "Oh darling, I'm sure you're just confused. If you would just go on one little, fabulous date with me, and I don't know why that's so much to ask for, I'm sure you'll see that our love is destined by the power of fate itself. You'll be over your silly attraction to men in no time." She giggled.

Great, she's mildly homophobic too. As if being COMPLETELY INSANE wasn't enough. Wally just wanted this day to end, so he could go back to his dormitory, watch TV, and pretend none of this ever happened. Something tells me I'm not getting off that easy.

"Tell you what sweetheart. If you two are so in love, why don't I tag along on your next date? If I can change your mind, my daddy will let the hostages go. Deal? "

Nightwing's smile faded and was quickly replaced with a false one. "Sure Kitty. There's nothing my boyfriend and I would enjoy more than your continued presence in our personal lives. "

Kitty grinned like a hyena on morphine. "Great! See you on Tuesday at the Gotham Central Diner!" She skipped away, leaving Wally and Dick alone in the cold night air together.

"Okay, what the HELL is going on!" Wally shouted at the top of his lungs. "You kiss me, and now we're going on a date with that little psycho? This deserves one hell of an explanation."

Nightwing sighed. "For the past few years, Kitty Walker has had a romantic obsession with me. Arkham psychologists suspect she pushed her father into his crime spree so she could get to meet me. Two days ago, Killer Moth took twenty subway commuters hostage. Kitty has stated that he will kill them unless I go on a date with her."

"So why not kiss Batgirl?! Or Artemis? She's in town visiting her mom anyway."

Nightwing raised an eyebrow. "You'd be okay with me kissing your girlfriend."

"So not the point. Anddon'ttellherIsaidthat." He whispered the last part so fast Nightwing almost couldn't hear it.

"For your information, I actually tried this with Batgirl first. Kitty thought I was doing it to make her jealous. She made her dad blow up the stock exchange in response. So I decided this ruse might work a bit better."

"So why didn't you give me some sort of warning?"

Nightwing sighed. "I was going to use Jason, but when I explained the plan, he couldn't stop laughing. He wasn't able to take the operation seriously enough, so I decided my accomplice needed the element of surprise. "

Wally was troubled by how much thought Dick had put into this whole operation. His best friend had recently been showing a trend of calculated, obsessive behavior, much like his mentor. As if that wasn't enough, one other detail about this whole fiasco had him worried.

"So Jason knows about this too? Dear God, he'll never keep his mouth shut. He'll tell Artemis, won't he? She'll never let me live this down. "

Artemis and Jason had become close friends ever since he joined the Team, largely due to their similar backgrounds. Before she had left for college, he visited Artemis and her mom almost weekly.

"Well, KF? Will you help me with this? Are you feeling the aster?"

"I am so not feeling the aster. But I will do this for you. I just have two conditions: We never, ever, ever, speak of this again, and if you absolutely must kiss me again, no tongue. Was it really necessary the first time?"

Nightwing's adopted his trademark smile. "Figured I may as well have some fun with this."

Kitty sat on her pink bed, in her pink bedroom, holding a pink stuffed animal. The plush was one of the few things she had held onto from her childhood. The butterfly's soft velvet wings had grown crusty over the years. She used to smother her face with the toy and cry into the wings whenever her dad was in one of his moods. Until she first glimpsed Robin on the news the butterfly had been the greatest object of her affection. She had almost no friends at Gotham Academy, and her tumblr followers had been backing off lately due to what they called, "troubling behavior."

She wasn't sure how she felt about the recent turn of events. On the surface, she truly believed that Nightwing was just confused, and would realize how much he needed her soon. On the other hand, his seeming attraction to another male was deeply disturbing. It would explain why he hasn't accepted me yet. Does this mean he never will? Kitty did her best to suppress these doubts. Her experience on tumblr had informed her that there was a wide spectrum of human sexuality, and it was foolish to think her darling rested firmly on one side.

Lastly, she felt even more fascinated by the hero now. She had to admit that his... friend was also very attractive, and she couldn't get the image of them kissing out of her mind. Visions of the two lovers danced to her heads, their slender, firm, and toned bodies twisting in ecstasy at each other's touch. Kitty thought about them for longer than she would have liked. Maybe she could get the best of both worlds somehow.

Of course I can. When your dad is a super criminal, you can get whatever you want. Maybe we can have some sort of 'open relationship'. An open relationship where he is completely devoted to me, of course.

Her door, adorned with photos of Robin and Nightwing, opened. Her father stepped in. He said, "How did it go, my little angel?"

Kitty groaned. "Daddy, do you have to wear the costume inside? Do you want to go back to Arkham?"

Killer Moth bowed his head in regret. His helmet, which was a size to large for him, slid down his head. As he adjusted it, his wing apparatus shifted uncomfortably. The whole suit had been put together in a hurry, so it didn't fit very well. The other Arkham patients made fun of this, the color, and virtually everything else about the costume. "I'm sorry, Kitty. I just wanted to check on you before going back to the hostages. They need more food. Is there anything you want from the supermarket?"

Kitty said, "We're out of Nutella again. The plan has hit a... complication. But I've got everything under control."

"I'm so proud of you for taking initiative on this, angel."

"Now would you please get out of my room! I'm entitled to a little thing called, privacy, Daddy! God!"

Killer Moth quietly exited the room as quickly as he could. he hated when he made his little darling angry. She was all he had left.

Kitty's laid back down on her bed, resting her head on a mountain of pillows. Soon Nightwing would be hers. They would live together in true bliss for all of eternity. And if anyone tried to keep them apart, she would blast it off the face of the earth.

To be continued.
