Dick walked around his apartment looking for some of the pieces of his Nightwing suit.
"You know if you weren't so messy this wouldn't be a problem." Barbara said. She was already suited up we had a mission work with the team to get back a kidnapped kid. Usually that wouldn't be that hard but the kid was kidnapped by well who else, Joker. So now Nightwing was running around looking for stuff. Why was he going because Barbara insisted and wouldn't stop hounding him plus he likes saving kids who doesn't. He loves to watch them get back with their parents. Since he had none (except Bruce) he had never gotten one of those moments.
After the dreams of everyone dying Nightwing couldn't sleep well so right now he was half asleep. He finally found his last piece one of his boots and headed out of the door.
The two zeta'd to headquarters he was already regretting this. Everyone looked at him sadly making him more depressed. Blue Beetle not knowing that he was tired of this sentence and it would send him over the top asked him "You okay?"
For the past week Barbara had been talking care of him and keeping him company. He would have the same nightmares every night and the first two nights she asked "Are you okay?" that had gotten him worked up how could he possibly be okay. Each night he sees's his brother his best friend and his parents die. So no he wasn't fucking okay, and that was the response she would get every night.
At the sound of those words those stupid fucking cursed words Barbara winced knowing what was about to happen.
"I AM NOT FUCKING OKAY. HOW COULD I BE OKAY WHEN EVERYONE DIES," he shouts. He lowers his voice as blue looks horrified and mumbles "I'm a fucking curse." After that he just walks off back to the zeta tubes. The zeta tube says his name and he's gone. Barbara goes too after telling blue she's sorry and giving Kaldur a look. The look was your in charge…Please.
She tried her best to find Nightwing but he must have been quick will anger but she knew were he would be. She silently makes her way to the dusty roof. See that dusty roof meant so much to them because that's were the first meant each other. They had both stumbled upon that building she was walking home in the rain. He was robin and was also working his way across roofs trying to find a way home he saw her and the both ducked for cover under the roof and shared a few things.
Sure enough he was sitting on that old roof that no one cares enough to knock it down. She went and sat next to him only to have him move away he was crying softly muttering "I'm sorry I'm sorry." She just watched him horrified that he was crying again he only cried like once a year and that was it but he had cried 4 times just this week. She got up and walked away. Batgirl could tell that he wanted to be alone so she went to his apartment.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I killed you all. I tried my best but it doesn't matter because you're all dead." Nightwing sobbed to himself tears streaming down his face he sat back and now he could really feel the tears coming on he put his hand on his mouth and cried even more. The last time he cried like this is when he lost his Mama and Tati but right now, on this cold night he felt like he failed them all. Like he didn't do one thing right. He did everything wrong. He loved. That has cost him, cost him too much. Next maybe Barbara will die then who knows who else. He couldn't let anyone die because of him he just couldn't. He sat on the dusty roof listening to the cars the only other noise was his crying so much of it. He felt sick so he forced himself to stop. He rubbed at his eyes and tried to breath. The cold night air whipped at him but he didn't care he just sat there forcing himself not to cry more. He didn't want to get sick because of crying that had happened to him before and it was miserable.
"I'm sorry failed you I so so sorry." He murmured swallowing tears. He sniffled and stood up. He started to walk back to his apartment where Barbara would be. That's all he wanted was to make sure that she wasn't going anywhere and wasn't going with them. No he wouldn't let that happen ever.
"There you are!" Barbara exclaimed as Dick walked though the door.
"I wasn't gone that long. Was I?" Dick asked
Barbara gave him a look. "Two hours."
"Oh." Dick opened the fridge and scanned through it grabbing a piece of cold pizza and eating it. All of the crying didn't help keep it down but he managed he went to his room and crawled into bed. Barbara went to and the curled up and fell asleep.
The next morning was better he wasn't as tired and Barbara making breakfast she looked at me sadly. I had the dreams again last night and had been shouting again she woke me and now here we are. "Here try this." He grabbed the biscuit and took a bite only to spit it out. I then over exaggerated and grabbed a napkin and started wiped my tongue off with it.
"Hey its not that bad!" Barbara said grabbing the biscuit she inspected it like it was something from a crime scene. "Is it?" Dick started laughing and she looked at him weird. Then he realized that he was actually laughing remembering things to fast about his parents and Wally and how they used to laugh and smile dampened the mood Dick give a sad smile and return to try to keep breakfast down.
