First things first, Disclaimer: Nothing is mine. At all. Seriously, do I look like I could own the Batman? No. Exactly.

Now, I decided to try a Nightwing story. Goes back into the past…blah, blah, blah. Now, this might seem a bit rushed so just tell me what you think. Honest now, please and not just UPDATE SOON! I want actual opinions please. So, here we go!

Chapter I: Meeting

Being thrown into to a time traveling portal had not been on Nightwing's list of 'Things to do when I grow up', but, then again, when he was seven neither had being a superhero. I guess his life was just full of surprises. How long had he been in this time stream? A few minutes? Days? Weeks? Naw, couldn't be that long. The dates flew past him as he traveled, though making it seem like he was in there years. He might have been.

2017

2015

2013

and then he was falling toward a concrete floor. He flipped and adjusted himself for the falling, bending his knees to absorb the impact, landing on the balls of his feet. He looked around, he was situated in a kneeling position.

Five teenagers were staring at him. One had dark skin, another green, and the rest were Caucasian. They were all staring at him till the kid with the red hair spoke. "Who are you?" He asked slowly. Nightwing stood up. His domino mask hid his eyes and his black spandex suit had a blue bird on the chest and a grey utility belt and grey glove contrapments. He had long shiny black hair which flowed freely down his back.

"Ummmm," He started and then figured it would be best if they didn't see him, any more already, he knew where he was, so he sped off toward the Zeta-beams. "Get back here!" Superboy yelled and ran off after him. Man, the guy was fast. "Wait up!" Kid Flash yelled, watching them.

Superboy threw a punch at the mans head. He dodged, the whites of his domino mask widening. "Whoa there, you could have hit me!" He a exclaimed and flipped backward, landing in a kneeled position. "That was the point," Superboy growled and lunged toward the man clad in black. Nightwing dodged and ran toward the training room.

"Follow him!" Aqualad yelled. The team ran after the man toward the training room. But, once the got there, he was gone. "Where'd he go?" Kid Flash said. "You know, there's more then the two directions right and left. Up might be a choice," A voice said above them. Instantly their heads snapped up to see the man lounging on the rafters. He smirked at their faces.

"How'd you get up there so fast?" Kid Flash asked, staring up at the man. Only Robin could get up there so fast.

The man shrugged. "It's easy but-" He was cut off when suddenly he slumped over. He seemed to have fallen asleep and suddenly he was falling toward them.

"Superboy! Catch him!" Aqualad yelled. Superboy lunged and caught the man in is arms. The mans head rolled over and his arms were rigid. "Got him. What now?" The clone turned around to face the team. "Med Bay?" Robin suggested, looking from teammate to teammate. "Perhaps," Mused Aqualad. "We should contact Batman." "No!" The man growled, attempting to get up but Superboy get a strong grip on him. "Don'…don't tell Batman…," But then he slumped back over, falling once again on conscience. The team stared at him and turned back to Aqualad. "Med Bay," The atlantean decided.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 Med Bay:

Batman stared at the man, wondering where he had seen him before.

He was strapped to a table, so he wouldn't escape, and was breathing at regular place. Superman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Black Canary were all standing to the side, their eyes flickering from the man on the table to Batman. When the kids had told Black Canary about a man dropping to the floor in their living room and showed him to her, she had instantly contacted Batman who, in return, had called Superman, Flash and Matian Manhunter (Who had, by the way, been graciously been nicknamed 'M 'n M' by Kid Flash) and told them to report to the Med Bay.

The man was still out cold on the table and the children were restricted from the Medical bay, much to their dislike. Robin had been completely pissed but he remained from anger.

"Who do you think he is?" Superman asked, studying the man. He was in his early twenties at the most and was very athletic and slim. You could almost see the sgility rolling off him. Batman studied him, taking off the mask had been his first idea but Black Canary had protested, saying it would be an invasion of privacy.

Batman looked over him. "I'm not sure. But I do know that I've seen him before, I'm just not sure," He replied, looking up. Superman nodded. "So have I. I don't know where I've seen him either."

And suddenly the man groaned. "Quiet, he's waking up," Batman said, looking sternly, as always, toward Superman. "I wasn't talking." Superman muttered quietly under his breath. Flash nudged him into silence.

The man tried to lift his hand to his head, but, as he found out, his hand was tied to the table he was laying on. "Bruce?" He muttered loud enough for everyone to hear. They all froze at this. "Bruce, is that you?" He continued. Batman instantly let the straps holding the man go and grabbed his neck, slamming his against the wall. The man long since awoken fully when he felt the straps release him. "Bruce!" Superman yelled and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Batman shrugged it off and leaned closer. "How. Did. You. Know?" He growled giving a bat-glare. The man struggled, staring down at him. "Instinct. You voice, bet you don't recognize mine, now do you?" The man said. Batman didn't reply, he just narrowed his eyes under his cowl.

"Wow, don't recognize your own protégé? I'm hurt." He said. Batman's eyes widened now and he stepped back, letting the man fall. Now he knew where he had seen him. The man stood up shakily, rubbing his neck.

"Robin." Batman said. Everyone watched the man, or, Robin. Robin grinned. "Nightwing, actually," He said and winced as rubbed his neck. "Oh, gosh that hurt. Now, where were we? Oh yes. Yeah, I was Robin. I'm Nightwing now." He shrugged and looked around. "You're from the future." Flash said in slight awe. Nightwing nodded.

"Yep, I was fighting some guy Warp. Warp… Warp speed, Warp man, Warp time….something with Warp. New guy. I was fighting him and next thing I know I'm falling through this vortex thing with dates spinning by me. I'm from 2019." Nightwing informed them.

"So, Warp whatever…. never heard of him. Now, tell us, how old are you?" Flash said, suddenly standing next to Nightwing. Nightwing's eyebrow must have gone up because his domino mask was now slightly distorted. "20..."

"Richard."

Nightwing looked up toward Batman, surprised. He rarely ever referred to Robin as Richard when he was in his Robin costume. Nightwing shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah?" "Are you going to tell the children?" He asked. Everyone looked at the former Robin, awaiting his answer. Nightwing seemed to be thinking hard until, finally, he answered. "No, I don't want to mess with the time stream-"

"You already told us," Black Canary pointed out, putting her hands on her hips. Nightwing grinned sheepishly, looking a bit like Robin. "Yeah, but I heard his voice and instantly interpreted Bruce," He hesitated. "First thing that popped into my head. NAd with the whole protege thing, well, I figured I wouldn't be able to explain how I knew your identity. I had no choice." Nightwing shrugged and Batman nodded.

"And besides," Nightwing continued. "They'll freak most likely. Now, any idea on why I fainted? I was fine when I dropped from the portal," Nightwing exclaimed, leaning on the wall. Batman watched as he rubbed his neck, feeling, only slightly, guilty. Martian Manhunter stepped forward. "I have concluded that your mind was scrambled from the time travel. You are lucky to even know who you are." The Martian explained.

At this, Nightwing frowned. "Oh well I'm lucky. So, how do I get back? Zatarra? My girlfriend will be pissed." Flash raised and eyebrow. "Who's your girl friend?" "No names but she's a kick-ass alien warrior princess. Now, how do I get back. Do you think I could find warp now?" Batman stepped forward. "No, but I will contact Dr. Fate-" Nightwing frowned. "-and see if perhaps he can help."

o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0 Living Room:

"Who do you think he is?" Wally asked, out of his uniform.

Robin shrugged. "I don't know, it's been a while. It usually never takes this long. What do you think is up?" Kaldur, who was leaning over, elbows on knees, on the couch, staring at the floor, was thinking. "I do not know. Perhaps he got away and they have forgotten to inform us." Artemis snorted. "This is the Batman we're talking about, I doubt he would forget about us." Robin, who was pacing, stopped and turned to face Kaldur. "Yeah, I agree with Artemis. He wouldn't just forget-"

"I didn't. Team meet Nightwing," Batman's voice said behind them. They all turned around to face Batman and the newly announced Nightwing. The man waved toward them and suddenly Kid Flash was in his face, in his uniform. "Alright, what's the dealio?"

Nightwing stared down at him and then doubled over in laughter. Batman watched his ward in thought.

"Wha… what's so funny?" Kid Flash demanded, staring at him. But he stuttered, making Nightwing laugh harder. "Oh, sorry, I am absolutely forbidden to tell you. Batman's orders. Was it always this small in here?" The last question was directed toward Batman who simply shrugged In response and walked from the room, pausing at the door. "Get acquainted with the team and we'll figure out your problem." Batman said and walked from the room.

"Your problem?" Artemis asked, as the team surrounded the man.

Nightwing waved her off and held out a hand, grinning. "I'm Nightwing and you are?" Artemis was in costume. "Guess," She hissed. Nightwing laughed. "Well, alright then. Artemis? Yes?" He asked. She stared at him and then glared at the floor, muttering under her breath. "And your Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, and Robin. Am I right? Yes, I do believe I am," He laughed. "Arrogant much?" Artemis muttered but he heard her nonetheless. "No, I just know I'm right. Besides, was I wrong?"

No one answered.

"That's what I thought."

It remained silent for a few moments until Kaldur looked at the team and nodded. They stepped forward and surrounded him. "So, what is your problem?"

Reviews are welcomed and flames will be welcomed too but be nice about it. :D Tell me if I should continue.
