I'm still trying to figure out how to set everything up so be patient with me. I hope you all like it as much as I like writing it, It's just a little bit of chapter one but I thought I'd test it out to see how it would do out in the field.
Oh and I do not own any of the characters in this story...but i wish they'd make this happen :)

A Midnights End

NightWing

I looked into the sky the stars seeming to rain down on me as I perched up on the highest point in Gotham usually reserved for the bat. It was beautiful in a dark noir sense of the word. This city held almost as much danger as it did beauty. The lights almost blinding the stars out, almost a combination of Paris and New York City, however in this spot, in this moment I held no desire to be anywhere else. Knowing that this is my city that I helped protect since I was 12 ,other than the three years I spent in jump city, made it all the more important to me. The buildings and neighborhoods seemed to be teeming with life in the night with the moon high above all of us. I looked up and chucked, my black hair falling over my blue eyes, twenty-one years old and I spend my Friday nights in a black Kevlar thin titanium threaded armor suit with a red V on my chest and a black mask admiring the city. Sometimes I miss being a Titan and my team mates at least the company when we patrolled instead of being alone…Still after Bruce threw me to the curb when I turned eighteen, I was pretty bitter when I left the titans for good. After all I was a leader as Robin now a loner as NightWing. It probably wouldn't bother me so much if he didn't go through another two robins making me feel like I wasn't good enough to be his partner. I sighed frustrated that I'd let myself dwell on the infuriating sense of abandonment for two long years. I wonder if that was part of the reason Kori and I ended up not working out. I have way too much time to think and that's not even a subject I want to touch, without any further thoughts I jumped off the side of the cathedral and free fell. I loved this feeling the adrenaline the wind caressing my face and ruffling my hair. The ground fast approaching I gripped my steel night sticks tight as I twisted my body to dig them into the side of the building, I pressed the balls of my feet against the wall as well slowly decreasing the speed of my fall. Twenty feet from the ground I pushed off the side and spun into the air landing gracefully onto the soft dirt ground. I smiled as I walked away from the church, time to go looking for trouble. "You always did have a taste for the theatrical didn't you, Dick", a man's voice sounded from a distance. I turned slowly surprised to hear the voice I had heard. "Been awhile hasn't it tin man?" I almost whispered the words when I finally saw him. Cyborg, Victor Stone, appearing to him almost as if an apparition from the past. His dark skin contrasting against his bright titanium armored skin. One red left eye shone in the dark while the other remained shrouded in the darkness almost giving off a sinister vibe, up until he started grinning and laughing. "Spikey hair, well it's way less spikey than it used to be, buuut I can still see the remnants of the past there", he chuckled lightly. "It's only been about six years, seven months, three days, 3 hours and 24 minutes from the time you left us." I laughed with him and his calculations. "It's been too long old friend. Why aren't you over in jump city?" I asked as I walked closer to him the dirt absorbing my footsteps. "I'm with the league now bird brain not much is left of our old group. I heard you were in the area so I thought I'd drop by and give an old friend a shout out", He grinned. Wow Cyborg in the Justice League it's not that surprising, he always has been a team player, great fighter, intelligent with cybernetics and all things electronic in general he would definitely become an asset. "Congratulations, Vic, you really do deserve it" I smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder. His smile fell, "Thanks but I do have another reason for coming to you like this… one of our friends took a turn for the worst NightWing." I ground my teeth and waited…any news like this couldn't be good. "Ravens gone dark, she was missing for 3 years and finally showed up tearing city by city apart screaming Robin…. She is looking for you, Nightwing." His words dripping with steel almost a hint of blame in them. Rachel… I missed her a lot. She was the only person I felt I could truly connect with and just breathe with. Kori always had me feeling stressed that I could never not be stressed… but with Rachel it was so much more different, her calm serene attitude almost seemed to radiate and soak into me when we were together. Truth be told I had missed her the most yet I could never bring myself to try and contact her again. "Cy how much longer till she gets her, I need to know now. Tell the League to stay back I can handle this on my own" I started to walk away towards the city I'd sworn to protect, towards the woman I had this aching feeling to see. "She went off radar but at the rate she had been traveling and after superman had pretty much been beaten six feet under. She found out where you were so I assume within the next week… I'll keep hold of the league as long as I can but there are getting extremely anxious and expect batman to contact you very soon. I'll be here to help and in the area so feel free to call me anytime…There's no need to be strangers, Dick, we are friends and no one blames you." He teleported up into the station I assumed. I started running gliding on the ground my feet pounding into the dirt finally hitting pavement. I blame me… I know what I've done and I will never deny It. I've hurt her and now she's become what she was always afraid she would be. I will bring her back, I will be her north star in the darkness. I can't do anything for now but I'd better prepare because I have no doubts this will be life or death for me whatever decisions I make.

An alarm buzzed in my ear driving my already pounding headache to the extreme I slammed my fist down onto the snooze button and accidently smashed my clock. Frowning I sighed I will forever be a night creature. I looked around my apartment and chuckled but how would I ever pay for this luxurious small shed of an apartment without working. I got up slowly and began my day with a shower that quickly went from too hot to way too cold. Going through the usual morning measures I threw on a black muscle shirt and some grey torn pants. I put on a necklace that had a red gem attached to it. Almost identical to her gem…It's why I kept it all these years. I clutched the gem and put on my shoes and was quickly out the door by eight in the morning. I quickly ran to catch the subway to my lovely job at the auto shop. It was easy to explain the scars on my arms, after all accidents happened all the time in that kind of environment. I yawned taking a seat in an empty cart when three shady guys came in and a woman with little to nothing on that made me wonder if she was going to start turning tricks right then and there. "Hey pretty boy looking for a good time half off." I frowned so it's going to be one of those mornings. The woman sexy in her own way smiled and winked at me. "Sorry not interested." I sighed and started to get up and leave. I'd be lying if I wasn't happy when one of them growled out "Then we are going to be taking everything you own off your hands". I was stressed and last night didn't give me a whole lot of opportunities to blow off steam. One pulled out a gun the other two flunkies pulled out switch blades. I gave them my predators grin and chuckled "Now, now I don't see any reason to pull out your little toys." The man with the gun sauntered over to me and put the barrel to my head "Any last words dick". I laughed at the use of my name and quickly replied "Yes only two. Don't scream." I wrapped my left arm around his and grabbed my wrist, quickly ducking my head to avoid the shots fired. I pushed up breaking his elbow, with a disgusting crunch the other two ran at me. I threw the broken armed guy onto the seat as I quickly smashed my fist into the guy on the left and sent a high kick to the guy on the rights throat both of them dropping without so much as a final say on the matter. I growled at the woman who was too shocked by what happened to move "Leave now." She ran without so much as a second thought to the men passed out cold. I sat back down next to the guy I threw onto the seat. Pitiful passed out from a broken arm, I've had much worse and stayed conscious. I threw him onto the floor on top of his buddies. I rested my feet on their backs at least I'll have a relaxing trip now. Still wasn't even much of a fight.

I finally got out of work and rode the subway home, walking through my front door only to be greeted by a tall muscular man in a black outfit with a bat mask on. Almost with a menacing presence the window was wide open as his cape fluttered through the breeze. Almost looking menacing yet regional he turned away from the window to look at me. "You should call when you want to visit and catch up", I muttered bitterly
