Gotham City
22:37
Nightwing took a deep breath. It was 3 weeks from the day that Wally, had died. Now here Nightwing was sitting on a build's roof looking out at the city lights. The dark haired man looked up at the night sky he couldn't see the stars but he could make out the moon. He takes another breath, this one shaky. No I won't cry I can't. Nightwing lies on his back on the dusty old roof. He just wished that Wally was alive and that they could go back to being best friends. God what a friend I am. Letting K.F. get himself killed.
"I should have done something!" Nightwing shouts so the whole hell hole could hear him. He would probably, knowing his luck attract some sort of villain to beat him to death maybe the stars would be the last thing he sort of sees. The man sits up when he hears footsteps behind him.
Oh great just what I need. He thought he hunched his pack getting ready to free fall off the building and grapple on to a ledge. But the footsteps are trying to be heard if a villain was behind him he would probably try to move silently.
"Should have done what? Use your own super speed to stop it?" Nightwing turns to she a dark figure appear out of the shadows: Barbra. She walks over to Dick and sits with her feet dangling over the edge. The red head looks at him will gentle comforting eyes. Instead of looking at the girl he hunches his back more and turns slightly away.
The silence isn't awkward but somewhat comforting, knowing that someone is there. But I'm still alone.
"What are you doing here Batgirl?" Nightwing said a little stern.
"I'm making sure your okay. Are you?" Batgirl said worry even more. It wasn't like him to act that way towards her. He was usually a fun loving over grown kid. But now he is showing to be leaning towards the batman side of him.
"Of course I'm okay." Nightwing said. Batgirl could sense the sadness the depression in his voice and some how it made her irritated that he would lie to her.
"Oh really when is the last time you ate, or how about the last time you slept?" Batgirl said getting up and looking down on him. Nightwing was acting aggressive and shot up so he was standing in front of her. He was almost a foot taller than her so she should have been intimidated but she wasn't and looked him in the eye.
"My best friend died and it was my fault. So sorry that has never happened to you. Yeah I'm so sorry I haven't slept in two or was it three days!" Nightwing yelled he then realized how rude he had been and sat back down very close to the edge.
Batgirl went back into gentle mode and put a hand on his shoulder. He didn't shake it off he was too tired to. She sat down next to him and he leaned against her. He was tired and just wanted some company but was too proud to ask. So right now he would enjoy it if it would last.
Barbra decided that it would be better if she stayed with Dick for a while to make sure he was eating and sleeping. So after an hour of being on the old roof they went to his apartment.
"Go sit down I'll order pizza." Barbara said after they had changed into civies. Dick walk over sluggishly to his couch and flopped onto it he grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V. Barbara dialed up the closest pizza place and ordered two large pizzas. One with everything on it and one with pepperoni she also ordered some soda and a pie.
When everything came they loaded up their plates and sat on the couch. Dick popped in one of The Borne movies and they watched it while eating their pizza, pie and soda. When the movie was over it was close to one. So after arguing Barbara took the bed while Dick slept on the couch within five minutes the raven haired boy was asleep and so was the red head.
Wally appeared running in circles with Bart and Barry. Nightwing knew what would happen so he tried to call out to his friend to have him get out of there but he had no voice and he was alone instead of being with his friends at the Bioship. He was alone he tried to run to were Wally was but his feet refused to move. He was stuck he was going to watch his friend no his brother die. And he was helpless against it. The bird tried everything but he could not alert his brother in any way at all. So he stood watching and waiting for his friend to disappear. He wanted to curl up into a ball but his body refused to move to let himself leave to let himself look away.
He tried to call out again but it was to late he saw Wally being attacked by the unstoppable force of kinetic energy and the was nothing he could do about it.
After seeing Wally die the dream shifted to a warehouse on a familiar hill. JASON. Again he tried to move but his feet wouldn't let him. He tried to call out but his voice stayed silent. He tried anything and everything failed. The warehouse exploded and everything went black.
The dream shifted again and he was under the big top as a little boy feet frozen voice gone watching his parents death.
"Wake up! DICK! DICK!" Dicks eyes shot open and he saw Barbara's worried expression. He sits up feeling like a little boy he wanted to saw "I want mama and Tati" but that was the problem he was a grown man not a young sad boy. A single tear falls down his face and he scolds himself. But that was all Barbara needed. He stands and hugs the petite redhead and she hugs him back. He cries more not caring and she comforts him by murmuring things. He sobs and sobs replaying the moment wear Bruce was comforting him when he cried about his parents.
Barbara invites him to the bed and they push close to each other. He felt better but still horrible and truth be told a little afraid to go back to sleep. He stays awake for awhile until sinking into a dreamless sleep.
