A ringing pierced the tranquil quiet of the night. Several grumbles could be heard through out the small apartment.

A black shadow rose from the floor before melting away to reveal Rachel. She picked up the phone she materialized in front of. "Hello, Richards's apartment, this is Rachel speaking. How may I help you?" Rachel droned before listening as the other person on the other end answered. She nodded telling them to hold.

Rachel glided past the living room, down the hall, cordless phone in hand. She stopped in front of the boy's room, opening the door to let herself in. Rachel ignored the curios tired looks Victor and Garfield were giving her; she shoved the phone under Dick's sleepy nose.

"Hello," He yawned but was immediately awake when he heard the voice on the other end. "We'll be right there."

Dick quickly dove under the bed for his Nightwing suite after checking that his team was doing the same. Gar was changing shirts, Victor was zipping up his sweater, Rachel had teleported out of the room before Dick had hung up. Seeing that his team knew what to do, Richard got dressed himself. The now hero team dashed down to the shared garage to uncloak their vehicles before getting onto the road. Headlights a blaze, they zoomed out into the cities mazy streets. The group turned left and right with Nightwing motorcycle in the lead. They reached the out skirts just as the morning birds came to life.

Nightwing felt his road companion drifting off back into dream land. He nudged Changeling gently as he yelled over the highway. "Go to the car! Go to the car and sleep before you fall off the back!"

Nightwing could feel the head pressed against his back nod before all pressure of the others body lifted away. He sighed wishing for the others warmth but immediately shook his head at the unwanted thought. Emotions could get you killed if not worse.

Changeling morphed into a bee buzzing over to the T-car and through a half open window. He landed in the back seat, changing back and buckling in.

Cyborg gave a little jump as he spotted the green boy after a minute. "Dude! You scared me, don't do that."

Changeling gave a weak smile to his friend before resting his head against the window glass. Raven and Cyborg exchanged worried glances at the green ones lack of enthusiasm.

The rest of the ride was done in silence.

The group entered Gothem at sundown, having not stopped for anything along the way. Changeling was back on the bike clutching Nightwing while Raven took his spot in the back of the T-car to meditate. They swerved down the first ally they came to. The group didn't want to be seen in the city of the Bat. Then all too quickly they entered the forest before entering the Bat cave minutes later.

Nightwing parked his bike in the middle of one of the round plat forms as Cyborg parked next to him. The group unloaded and fallowed their leader into the elevator that led to the main platform.

"What do you want old man?" Nightwing asked rudely stepping out of the lift.

The Bat didn't react; his back turned away from the four to face the computer. "You look like your doing well for yourself Garfield."

"Ye…yes sir," Changeling stuttered with a squeak trying to hide himself behind his leader.

"That's good," Batman nodded. He turned to face the group as the lift to up stairs opened up. "Ah, you're here."

Batgirl stepped out fallowed by a tall red head. She had orange tinted tan skin, sparkling green eyes. Resting on her forehead were two small red dots. The redhead was clad in a purple leotard that had a V-neck to her bellybutton, gloves past her elbows, a belt attached to a loincloth, and boots that came to a stop below her knees. She was every man's dream.

"What's her name?" Raven asked with growing interest.

"We don't know," Batgirl answered shrugging; she turned to face the new girl again.

"She doesn't speak English," Batman said predicting the next question. The alien giggled as every one turned to look at her.

"Raven knows a verity of languages, I'm sure we can handle it." Nightwing said walking straight up to the girl without hesitation. Before anyone could react, the red head had crushed her and Nightwing's lips into a kiss. It lasted a second and that was all it took.

Raven twitched as the commotion hit the ceiling. The alien girl could now speak English, Nightwing was possibly stuck in his kissing pose, and Batman was furious for letting something happen to his charge. She twitched again at the extensive amount of despair coming from where Changeling had disappeared to during the brief lip encounter.

Raven sighed in frustration as she sunk into the floor. Minutes later she appeared silently by the green male on a rock out cropping.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked him taking a seat on the rock.

"I don't know," Changeling answered truthfully looking at his dangling legs. "I just don't know."

Raven made a soft humming noise as she too watched her legs dangle in space. "If you don't mind me asking, why do you like him?"

"I don't mind," Changeling turned to look at her. "Even though," he paused to chew on his lip, "even though he was forced to take care of me it wasn't like I was a burden. It was like he really cared about me as a human and not just some animal."

"He still cares," Raven whispered.

Changeling nodded, "I know but I don't think he'll ever be able to like me on the same level that I like him."

Raven placed a hand on the green ones shoulder, "nothings impossible." Changeling gave her a weak smile of thanks and then they were gone.

"Where did you guys go?" Asked Nightwing as Changeling and Raven re-materialized.

"To talk," was Raven's short reply while Changeling just shrugged.

Nightwing looked at the two suspiciously making a mental note to find out what was going on. Changeling would never lie to him and if he pushed hard enough he could get an answer out of the green one.

Nightwing mentally shook himself; he had been staring at his partner for a few minutes. Raven had left Changeling's side; she was over by Cyborg and the alien now. Nightwing brought his eyes back to Changeling who had claimed his blush somewhat. The leader frowned, stepping forward to place his hand on top of Changeling's head.

"You're hot," Nightwing said with concern. "Are you coming down with something?" Nightwing's frowned depend as Changeling shook his head stepping away from the others raised hand.

Then all was quiet, too quiet. It seemed the others had left the cave with out the two. As soon as the realization hit the pair the air become thick with awkwardness.

"We should go," Nightwing dropped his hand and turned around. Before he could take a step he felt a weight tug on one of his hands. He didn't need to turn around to know who it was; there was only one person who would touch him this tenderly.

"Can we just," Changeling hesitated. He leaned into Nightwing resting his head on the others back. "Can we just stay like this for a while? Please?"

Nightwing didn't say anything; he just stood there and let the other rest on his back. It was right then that Nightwing truly understood Changeling's feelings for him.

"I'm scared," Changeling whispered.

"Why?" Nightwing asked in a low voice.

"Because I don't want you to leave me," Changeling choked out, his voice getting stuck in his throat. Changeling pushed on though, "I don't want you to leave me when you find out how I fell about you."

Nightwing swallowed his throat oddly dry. "Who ever said that I was going to leave you?"

The pressure on Nightwing's back let up, he turned around. Looking down at those large emerald eyes so full of hope and love only for him. Nightwing couldn't help but love the little green male in return. He cupped Changeling's chin titling it up, he brought his head down so that his noise rested on the others forehead.

"I'll never leave you," Nightwing whispered, then his lips landed.

Several weeks later…

Garfield was instantly aware of his surroundings as soon as his eyes were open. He was alone like all the other mornings but he wasn't worried. Gar could hear the shower running and knew that that's where Richard was.

Garfield stretched like a cat under the covers. The silk soft against his naked body. After stretching one more time Gar got up and stared at the bathroom door day dreaming about Dick washing his back. Garfield smirked to himself, walking over to the bathroom and opening the door. This time he was allowed to fulfill his desires.
