The morning was so beautiful; it was like it was a dream. Bright blue skies, birds were chirping in their little nests, it was so idyllic. So she lay there, eyes closed, breathe steady, and soaked herself in the beauty of a new day. Everything to her for those few moments were beautiful, she felt young again; her bones did not ache her stomach had butterflies and her heart beated a happy beat. Kory reached out to Dick's side of the bed, she just felt the bed, and she sighed. He was gone before she could even say good morning. It was odd she thought, him getting up so early, not even trying to wake her up, like he would always do. Even though she knew he wasn't there she called out his name, all without facing her nightstand. There was no answer, of course she wasn't expecting an answer, she just wanted to say it aloud because just it felt good to say it.

When she finally pulled herself from her bed she went directly to her vanity table on the opposite side of the room, it was tucked in its own little corner. She was brushing her hair, humming to herself, she felt so happy. On her vanity table she had this one small picture of her and Dick, when he was still called Robin, in her hands held her now dead pet Silkie. It was definitely her favourite picture of the two of them. She remembered when they took it, it was two years into their relationship, and they were in Gotham visiting his old mentor Batman. It was the first time she was going to meet the famous Batman, but he didn't particularly approve of their relationship, he thought that her emotions and overall personality could hinder the team's dynamic. Of course he was right, in the entirety of their relationship there had been numerous break ups, love triangles, and inner team fighting, yet they managed to get back to each other in the end.

Out of the corner of her mirror she saw the blue folder and the note, she didn't need to go over to see it, she knew what it was. She sat there frozen on her little chair, brush in her hand, staring at her reflection. Except it was her before she saw the folder, it was like the mirror froze right there before she the truth. She touched the glass, very lightly to see if her reflection would follow, it didn't. She felt her arm throw the brush at her mirror, she wanted to see it shatter and fall into a million pieces but it didn't. It hit it as if it was a wall. Nothing at that moment felt quite right.

He sat there in his car, just staring at the steering wheel, wondering how the hell he managed to drive to work and not remember it. He was in his car for a good five minutes before he realized that he was just having a staring contest with a steering wheel.

He thought of different scenarios on how she would react. Scenario one, she saw it and reverted back to her natural warrior instincts, and started practicing how to kill him. Or scenario two she tells Donna or Rae, they tell Roy, Vic and Gar, he gets his ass kicked by all of his friends. Either way he knew he was getting his ass kicked in the near future.

In his rear view mirror he saw a little boy; he couldn't have been older than three or four. The little boy had long, black hair and tan skin; he looked an awful lot like someone he knew. He got out of his car to make sure the kid wasn't lost and what he said completely scared him."Daddy" the kid yelled at his direction, and started running towards him, Dick looked around him, and he was the only one there. Shit.

"Daddy! Daddy I knew you'd come back! I knew it," the little boy squealed with glee. He was already hugging Dick's calf, and nuzzling his head onto his leg, like a cat. Dick wasn't sure who this kid was but it felt very comforting to be with him. It reminded him when Mar'i was still a little girl, and how she would never let go of him when he came back home. That was years ago though, it was in the past where it should stay.

"Damien! Damien where are you! Mommy wants you back right now," it was Catalina, he didn't even know that she had a child. But he knew that he definitely wasn't his because they didn't start having the affair till a year ago.

The little boy let go of his leg, backed away from him, "Daddy don't go again, Mommy want to see you too. Don't go pweaseee." He was so young, so innocent, how could he say no. The little boy ran to his mother, and he could hear him yelling about finding his "Daddy."

Catalina knew she was ducked as soon as she brought Damien here. It was way too soon to bring him; he was way too young to understand that Dick wasn't his father. But having him already meet her boss was just icing on the cake of bad ideas. When Damian brought her to Dick, she tried her best not to look flustered, but she knew it was useless. He had this worried look plastered onto his face, all she could do was mouth sorry.

"So Cat," he said her nickname he would call her sometimes "I didn't know you had a son." It dawned on him that he didn't know much about Catalina, except that she was married once to a Navy Seal, and that he died a few years back, but that was all he knew of her history. Dick put on a smile; it was a mix between uncomfortable, worried and generally happy.

"He's not my son Dick," she said smiling and picked him up "he's my little superhero. Isn't that right Damian," she kissed his cheek, and Dick could see how much she adored her child.

"Mom stawp it," he said under a fit of giggles.

"You know Cat, I have a brother who has the same name as him," he chuckled remembering the times he spent with him as Batman and his younger brother was his Robin. The two of them the exact opposites of each other but they worked well together and were more like friends than brothers "Actually I think he'd very much like to meet another Damian. Too bad he's in Hong Kong right now for business."

"Dick I know you have a brother in fact you have two others and a sister don't you? Sometimes I think you forget that your family has been under the spotlight for years and that the public knows that you're all adopted out of the kindness of Mr. Wayne's heart." It was odd for him to think of it that way, it is true that he has lived under the spotlight his entire life from when he was just Dick Grayson the acrobat at Haley's circus to Bruce Wayne's first adopted son and Batman's first Robin, to Nightwing and now just being a Wayne. He had lived his entire life under a giant spotlight that he had no control over, and now it dawns to him how truly intrusive it all is and how this could have affect his own daughter. Something that he wished that he could have was to know what a night of complete normality would be like, not having to worry about appearances at all.

Catalina was skipping ahead of him with Damian as he was contemplating what a life of complete normality would feel like. "Cat," he yelled at her, causing her to stop in her tracks "what's it like not living in the spotlight all the time? You know a life that is completely normal."

"Oh Mr. Grayson wants to know what it's like to be normal eh? Well I have little proposition for you if you can catch up to me and Damian skipping around this parking lot than I'll show you what a day for a normal person feels like." She was laughing like a child, though this day of normality wasn't really part of her plan she couldn't help but help him with it. It could actually be fun, being a real couple with him and maybe just maybe she could fall in love with him.

"You've got yourself a deal Cat! Start skipping babe, cause I am the king at this," so he started skipping around the parking lot laughing his head off trying to remember when he had this much fun. He was wrong to accept this challenge though, they were pretty damn good skippers. Damian started tiring and he saw his chance, so he ran up from behind him and scooped him up in his arms and swung him around like he was a plane. " Huh looks like i won Cat! I got him, now give me my day of normality!"

Nothing More sequel:

Do you ever have a dream where you're just running away from people; well they're not really people but more like zombies. And then while you're running the road ahead of you just disappears, leaving you with two options fight them off or jump, and for some stupid reason you choose to fight off the zombies. So you stand there at the edge of the road in you're fighting position and as the zombies get closer you could clearly see that they're your friends and family, and the person leading them is your mom. So you fight each and every zombie but somehow avoid your parents, and when it comes down to the three of you, you try to reason with them even though they can't understand you. Then your dad attacks you, and you could just see the bloodlust in his eyes, and you just stand there frozen until he gets too close and you shoot his head off with your starbolts and he falls to the ground.

But then something amazing happens the brainless zombie that was your mother comes to her senses and cradles the body of her husband, and it's just the two you standing amongst the bodies of all the people you know. Then you start to feel like a monster so you start running in the other direction but the road head of you disappears so you're stuck there. And then your mom, someone who could never hurt you becomes the zombie again and you get ready to kill again but when you look her in the eye you just can't do it, so you give up and cry. Your mom then starts getting closer and closer and you realize she wasn't a zombie after all and that everyone you just killed was all normal and you just killed them like that, but she hugs you and you're just crying into her shoulder while she's petting your hair and she just sits there with you holding you. When you're finally done crying you ask her how she could hold you like that and all she could say is that she could never hurt you and then she disappears too.

So you sit there crying and bloody and the only logical thing to do at this point is to jump and let the darkness envelop you until you wake up. The thing is you don't wake up you just keep falling and falling and for some reason your body is breaking down inside of you, like you could feel your heart stop beating your bones breaking and so on. Then when you reach the very bottom you stop feeling everything because you've died and the last face you see is your mother's smiling at you telling you to wake up.
