"Is he going to be okay?" Beast Boy asked with a hint of guilt as I walked out of Med-Bay with Batgirl. I feel everyone looking at me.

"He will survive. The bullet missed his heart and didn't hit any vital organs. It was touch and go there for a while but he should make a full recovery." I said walking over to an empty seat by Jamie. "Someone is going to have to call Wally and Artemis." I sighed. Those two were not going to take this well. Then again no one from the original Young Justice team took it well when Nightwing got hurt. It was illogical but in all of our minds we still saw the thirteen year old boy who loved to terrorize the English language.

"I will do it." Megan said getting up and leaving the waiting room. I could tell just through her voice that she was not looking forward to that phone call.

"What wrong with her?" Jamie asked nodding to where Megan once was.

"She doesn't want to have to tell Wally what just happened." I said not making eye contact with any of them.

"Why? He and Arty aren't even apart of the team anymore. They should be happy that she would even bother to tell them." I quickly got to my feet and turned to glare at Bumble Bee. I had to control myself, getting angry would not solve anything.

"You don't understand." I growled.

"Then help them." Batgirl said. She sounded so maternal when she said that. I let out another sigh, all of the sudden I was envious of Megan.

"Before when Young Justice was just in its start Nightwing held the mantle of Robin. He was also the youngest on the team. It didn't take long for the team to become protective of him. Wally and Rob were best friends even before the team was formed so they had a very close bond. It doesn't matter that he is no longer on the team; he still wants constant updates on how Nightwing is. As you can see Nightwing has a little habit of getting himself into trouble. "I tensed when I heard Megan enter the room again. "How did they take it?" I asked.

"Wally is very upset. He and Artemis are on their way right now." Probably so that they could yell at him when he woke up. "Connor I am worried about him. I don't think he can stay out of 'the game', as he and Nightwing call it, if he isn't able to control his protective emotions."

"There isn't much we can do about it. We cannot control Wally's emotions for him." I was trying my hardest not to feel anything. I couldn't let myself slip into the same mode Wally would be in when he got here.

Recognized Kid Flash B02 Artemis B06

"Where Is He?" Wally basically yelled from the zeta tubes. He made his way with Arty over to us without any of us responding to his question. "Well?" He asked with frustration.

"He is in his usual room Wally." I said in a low and controlled voice.

"Calm down babe, Megan said that he was going to be fine. Us getting frustrated isn't going to help anything." Artemis said putting her hand on his arm. Wally sighed and let his muscles relax. We made eye contact holding our stare as a way of communication.

"Why does he do it?" All of us turned to face Beast Boy; the kid had tears in his eyes. "Why does he keep getting hurt?" Megan walked over and hugged her younger brother.

"He did it to protect you Gar." Robin said from his spot in the corner. Batgirl was standing by him with her hands on his shoulder. "He threw himself in front of you that way you did not get hurt. He would rather him be hurt than anybody else because he knows he can handle it." The kid may be the new Robin but he had not yet mastered the Bat trait of being able to hide his emotions completely. I heard the small quiver in his voice when he had said his original statement. I also was able to make out the light squeeze Batgirl gave him as a means of support.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get caught!" Beast Boy buried himself into Megan and the tears flowed even harder.

"That isn't what Robin meant." Artemis said. "He was just explaining that Nightwing knows that you are still new at this and he knows that you are going to make mistakes, so he purposely gets in the way that way you don't get hurt. He knows what it is like to still be getting used to the whole hero thing, so he doesn't want to add onto it with you being injured." That was the nice way of putting it. We all knew that Beast Boy screwed up. It was an honest accident but it still caused Nightwing to step in and get hurt instead.

"Was he shot?" Wally asked.

"In the chest but it missed all his vitals. It was a clean shot straight through. We recovered the shell casing and we are going to send it over to police for further evidence." Wally nodded his head and finally took the seat on the other side of me and let his head fall into his hands.

"He has to stop pulling this crap, I'm only 21 and I feel like I am too old for to be getting these phone calls." Jamie looked over to him with sympathy.

"How close are you two?" Jamie asked with a small smile, trying to lighten the mood a little. Wally let out a small laugh and looked over to the boy.

"We have been friends since I was thirteen. To say we are just close is an understatement. After only being friends for about four months I started to introduce him to my friends as my little brother. I knew his secret ID before everyone else because he was mad at Batman and wanted to get back at him." Wally was smiling with his thoughts of Richard.

"He still comes over for dinner every Friday. They eat like pigs, tell stories, and play video games. One time just to prove a point Nightwing hacked into the Pentagon without being detected. The look on Wally's face was just plain priceless." Everyone had small smirks on their faces because none of us would put it past Richard to do that, well almost everyone.

"Really cause the Nightwing I know is so serious. All we do is train and prepare for the worst. I don't see him goofing around like that." Jamie said with a small pout on his face.

"That is because he is the leader now. Nightwing is responsible for all our lives and he is determined to keep us safe. He thinks that if we are all prepared for any situation then we are less likely to get hurt. Like Artemis said earlier, he is only concerned for our wellbeing." Megan said with a hopeful expression on her face.

"Well I would like to know what he was like before." Jamie crossed his arms and fell back into his chair.

"Believe me he could be extremely immature at points but at other times he acted like an adult. Most of the time though he was a kid, I think it was to remind all of us that we needed to have fun sometimes." Artemis said as she walked into the living room. "Well if you want to know what he was like you might want to follow. It isn't like much is going to happen if we all just sit there." Artemis called over her shoulder. All of us slowly got up and made our way to the couches. Artemis was looking through the videos and pulled out a VHS tape that didn't look too old. She put it into the player and then turned to all of us, "Here you go Jamie, now you get to see Nightwing when he was still Robin." The video began to play…

Video

The camera showed Wally and Robin in their civies watching the television. "Will you boys turn around and say hi to the camera?" It was Megan's voice but you couldn't see her, she must have been filming. Both boys turned around and smiled toward the camera.

"What's up Miss.M?" Robin said jumping over the side of the couch with a smirk on his face.

"I was doing research and learned that earth families have home movies so I decided to make one." Wally came up from behind Robin and tried to tackle him but Rob side stepped him in time and jumped on Wally when he fell to the ground. "What are two doing?" She asked.

"I'm teaching this little fart a lesson!" Wally said as he tried to roll on top of Robin only to be kicked in the stomach.

"Good luck Kid Klutz!" Robin yelled with a smile on his face.

"Oh dude you are so going down now!" Wally and him continued to wrestle and you could even hear Megan laughing in the background.

"What are those two doing?" Megan lifted the camera to show Artemis, Kaldur and I entering the room. "Hey BridBoy don't kill Kid Idiot."

"What's wrong Arty don't want me kicking your boyfriends butt?" Robin said with his tongue sticking out at her.

"HE IS NOT MY BOYFIREND!" Artemis yelled.

"Yeah right dude like I could ever be desperate enough for her!" Wally shot up with a red face. It was clear that he was very embarrassed about the situation.

"Dude be honest with yourself, you already are that desperate." Wally charged Robin but he was able to jump in the air and land gracefully on a small ledge in the mountain.

"Get down here now!" Artemis yelled.

"Yeah man get your butt down here!" Wally said standing by her side.

"Hey Connor do you think they sound like a married couple because I sure do." Robin was now sitting down laughing at them.

"I think Robin you are very high up and should get down from there. It could be very dangerous so up high." Megan said with obvious concern in her voice.

"Megs I am totally safe up here. Don't worry so much." Robin said getting up and scaling up the side of the mountain.

"Robin! That is dangerous stop!" Megan yelled after him.

"I must agree with Megan. Robin you could get seriously injured if you carry on with this foolishness." Kaldur warned him. By now Robin was a good fifty feet above us and he had a huge smile on his face. It was actually kind of fun to see him so carefree again. Jamie was right, Nightwing was so serious.

"Let him do what he wants. If he falls that is his fault." The digital me said while rolling my eyes.

"I'm glad to know you care Supey." Robin said as he decided to just let go of the rock he was holding onto. All of the sudden you just see him falling, everyone's heart began to noticeably race.

"ROBIN!" Megan screamed. Immediately the me on the video used my super powers to jump as high as I could so I could catch him and absorb the blow. But once we were at the same level he dodged me and bounced off the cave walls doing flips and jumps until he finally landed on the ground.

"Not going to lie, that was awesome!" Robin said with a big grin on his face.

"DUDE! You just scared the crap out of us! So not cool!" Wally said turning his back to his best friend. Robin crossed his arms and sighed, in that time Wally spun around and said, "Okay maybe a little cool."

"Wally don't encourage him! He could have been killed!" Artemis yelled.

"But I wasn't." Robin argued.

"Maybe now is not the wisest time to be making a home movie." Kaldur said looking toward the camera.

End Video

And just like that the screen went dark. It was so weird to remember that, I had almost forgotten it. It had been so long since Nightwing just decided to mess around and flip all over the place.

"Was he really like that?" Jamie asked.

"One day he decided that as long as no missions were given he would walk the entire day on his hands." Everybody laughed at the notion. "He did one hand pushups just to eat his cereal in the morning."

"That is so cool!" Beast Boy said.

"Is he like that around you Rob?" Jamie asked the bird in the back.

"As long as we aren't on missions yeah. But that is because he knows I can take care of myself." Robin was obviously still upset with Beast Boy's accident.

"Lay off of him Robin." All of us shot up and turned around to see Nightwing standing there in his pants and mask. His boots, gloves, and shirt were all taken off of him for surgery. There was a long bandage that was wrapped around his chest in the area where the bullet hit.

"Night. What are you doing up?" Robin said running over to his older brother. "How long have you been up?"

"Since I called Wally Kid Klutz in the home video." Nightwing said with a smirk.

"Why can't you be like that now?" Jamie asked. I will give the kid this, he has nerve.

"Be like what?" Nightwing asked with slight confusion.

"You know less…strict." Okay so maybe the kid was losing his nerve.

"I grew up." Richard responded as he walked forward to Wally and Artemis. "Although some people refuse to accept that fact." Artemis gave him a hug and even let a tear slip from her eye.

"We worry about you." She whispered to him.

"I know." He whispered back. "Don't."

"What does you growing up having anything to do with you being less fun?" Alright the nerve was back.

"Jamie let me ask you a question." But the kid was about to learn his place.

"Okay what."

"How many people have you held in your arms that were dying?" Megan gasped at the question. Normally Nightwing would ask less harsh questions when he was reminding people of their places.

"None. Why?" Jamie responded.

"If you had you would understand that growing up is your only option. Childish mistakes cause you to be the person in somebodies arms. I am determined not to let any of you be those people. My method may seem harsh and I might seem boring, but know it is for your own good," Nightwing sighed.

"Nightwing." Megan said.

"No." I interrupted her. He needed to say this.

"Jamie I gave up being the kid on that tape, so you wouldn't have to."

A/N: The End. I know it wasn't that good but I was on a two hour car ride and needed something to do.
