A/N: I do not own the Teen Titans, they belong to DC Comics. Anna Logan is my OC and her parents are Beast Boy and Raven.
My daughter and I were patrolling the streets of Jump City, nothing out of the ordinary, at least for now. It was around 4 AM and I knew Kori was going to be furious at us for not coming back a hour earlier. "Nightstar, let's go before Starfire gets worried."
"Okay, D... er... Nightwing." Even when she knows not to call me "dad" but I can't be too hard on my daughter; it took me a year to call Bruce, Batman. It took us only about 5 minutes to return home, in Titans' Tower but I hear Kori talking to... Diana? What's she doing here? "Dad, why's grandma Diana here?"
"I wonder too, your highness." I reply to my daughter, I walk to the room where Mrs. Grayson is comforting a crying... Mrs. Wayne. "Diana? What's wrong?"
She hugs me and cries harder, "I'm sorry, Richard!" She manages to tell between sobs.
"Where's Bruce?" I ask.
"He's... He's..." She couldn't complete the sentence due to her tears; don't tell me that Bruce is dead, please, and I hold back tears that want to force their way out. I leave the room where they're at and I enter the evidence room and I lean on the table. All the memories we had together! Why didn't they let me go with them?! I could've helped them, I could've saved Bruce! I look up and I toss the table, the sound of glass smashing was extremely loud and expensive. I see a picture of Bruce and I, it was the first time that I went out patrolling with him, and we prevented a robbery. I throw the picture to the ground and I smash test tubes. In my fit of uncontrollable rage and guilt, I lift up a customized computer that weighs about 500 pounds, and I throw it across the room. My legs give out on me, causing me to kneel.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I roar.
"Richard, please stop this madness!" A distressed, crying Kori pleaded with me.
"H... How... How, I am suppose to forgive myself? How was I suppose to know that this was going to be our final conversation before..." I refused to believe he was actually dead. "If I would've known... I would've talked to him more! I could've convinced him to let me go with them! I could've... I could've told him how thankful I was for his help during my time of need, how much I loved him!" Rivers of tears flooded my vision as I now realize that I'm a complete moron. I wasted all the time I had with him, with petty arguments and living with a grudge against him! "I wish I had more time." I mutter while my wife embraces me.
*TT*
This was the first time anyone seen Dick Grayson throw a fit of this magnitude. His fit of rage didn't go unnoticed by his other roommates, he invertedly woke up Anna, Cyborg, and Sarah. Changeling and Raven were still awake, their eyes were going to win a battle, when the sound of dying glass prevented the eyes from resting. They looked stunned at their leader not able to control himself.
Young Mar'i didn't understand what was happening with her father until "Grandma Diana" told her what was wrong and she couldn't believe what she heard coming out of her grandma's mouth. She thought that her grandma was lying. What her father didn't know, was that her relationship grew with her grandparents as they visited Gotham more and more. She couldn't believe Grandpa Bruce was dead, she knew that her grandpa was a tough man. The first time she was witness to the infamous "batglare", it sent shivers down her spine, but she knew there was hell to be paid if anyone tried to harm her.
After a few hours of recovering from the devastating news, Richard regained composure, "When do we leave for Gotham?" The recovered, young man asks his step-mom.
"Today."
