A/N: Thank you guys for reviewing and putting this story on alert, I'm so happy every time I see a notification in my mail box! Please continue reading and reviewing))))

"You need to go see her." a voice came from behind Nightwing, he spun around and saw Scar leaning up against the doorframe to his room.
"I know but what can I say?" the bird asks.
"How about 'Hey how you coming along? I have this huge crush on you but I don't know how to ask you out because I have brooding problems.'" Scar says with a smirk, Nightwing stares at Scar before letting out a small laugh.
"That obvious, huh?" Scar smiles and nods.
"Oh yeah, the way your heart skips a beat but your face remains rigid is always fun to watch...but in all seriousness Dick, If you don't make a move on her now then someone else will." Scar tells him, Nightwing drops his head and sighs.
"Yeah I know...It's not that easy though, she's really attractive and she's also funny when she's not snarky and let's not forget intelligent, but whenever I'm around her my tongue seems to tie itself into knots...some Batman protégé I am." Nightwing say with a smirk, Scar laughs as he stands up straight.

"I had the same problem with Zatanna, an ultra-powerful invulnerable alien who can shrug off bullets gets sweaty palms when he tries to ask out a raven haired magician...if the enemy knew our weakness." they both laugh at Scars revelation as Nightwing stands and head towards the door and down the hall towards Roxy's room.

"You won't regret it...I promise." Scar says as the bird passes him.

~XXX~

Roxy heard a knock on her door and came closer to answer.
"Who's there?"
"It's.. khm.. it's Nightwing." thank god they had a door between them, because Dick felt his cheeks heat up. Yeah, Batman would be very proud of him right now.
"Oh.. hey..." a long awkward silence fell.
"I.. um.. I just wanted to ask how were you.. Scar said you were getting better." he coughed to clear his throat.
"Well, yeah, I'm better.. kind of..learned a few tricks."
"May I come in?"
Roxy's eyes widened, what he asked for was just crazy. Everybody knew it wasn't safe. He didn't come to visit her, not even once, and now he wants to come in. What the hell is going on?
"It's dangerous for you; I'm not in a full control." he heard hesitation in her voice.
"I'm willing to take the risk."
"Well, okay.. but if you get hurt, it will be your fault." she made an attempt to joke. She pushed the button and the door slid open. She stepped back, so that her electrical field won't hurt him. It was much less now and surrounded only her not filling the rest of the space around her. Nightwing walked in and closed the door behind him.
"You can sit on the bed and I'll take the chair. That'll make the distance between us safe enough for you." Roxy stammered. She didn't know how to behave around him, especially in a situation like this.
"So...the field seems smaller.." Nightwing started sitting on the side of her bad.
"Yeah.. "
"You said something about tricks?" he asked rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh yeah, check this out." Roxy stood up and spread her arms in the air, electrical charge danced around her fingers and when she waved her arms the lightning took a form of a circle, then a star and then a flower. She concentrated a bit harder frowning and the lightning took a form of Nightwing's face. He stared back at her in awe. She smiled at him and lowered her hands. The lightning reduced to her usual electrical halo.
"Cool, huh?" her chest heaving. She had nothing else to do in this room so she practiced and practiced, Scar's meditation trainings had its results.

"Cool is an understatement..." Nightwing says as he brings his eyes to hers, there was a momentary pause before Roxy fidgeted in her seat under his gaze.
"So...what did you want to talk about?" she asks trying to get him to say something.
"Oh...I just wanted to see how you were doing...I'm sorry I really haven't had a chance to come and visit you.." he trails off averting his eyes anywhere but hers.

"It's okay...at first I thought I was going to lose my mind but after Scar taught me how to meditate with my powers I almost welcomed the solitude..." when she sees Nightwing's face fall she quickly extends a hand a pats his knee. "But company is always welcome." she says, he smiles and looks down at her hand and she quickly draws it back. "I'm sorry did I hurt you?" she asks with concern. 'How could I be so stupid?' she thinks to herself.

Nightwing gives a small laugh. "Scar and me worked on a prototype suite...there's rubber laced into the armor so your powers don't have much of an effect." he says with a smile, 'Good ole Scar' Roxy thinks with a smile.

"Oh, that's cool.." she said and went silent again. God, it was unhealthy to feel this awkward. "So, what's new in the world? How's the team? I feel like I'm missing everything while sitting here."
"Well, we had a few missions... You didn't actually miss anything interesting...maybe you want something? I know it's hard for you to do what you used to now when your powers are out of control, but maybe I can figure something out. What you miss the most?" he asked studying her face closely. She tilted her head to the side and bit her bottom lip thinking about his question.
"Well, you know, when you're not able to do something it seems like you wanna do that thing the most like it's the most important in the world, so when I'm not able to do.. well, anything, I miss everything. But maybe music I miss the most. I can't even use my iPod without breaking it." she sighed. She had very lively face and he caught himself smiling watching her facial expressions change as fast as Flash runs. She noticed his intense stare and frowned in confusion. "What?"
"Uh.. nothing.. I'll think about how I can fix this for you."

"Oh...thanks." she says as the awkwardness begins to return "How's Batgirl?" she asks trying to get a conversation going, but then realized that she probably wouldn't want to know what was going on between her crush and Batgirl.

Nightwing's brow arches behind his mask. "Uh...she's good she should be back from a mission today...I've got a question." he asks scooting closer, Roxy can feel her heart begin to beat out of her chest as her mind goes into overdrive about what he was going to ask 'Maybe this is it!' she thinks excitedly.

"Have you noticed how friendly Batgirl and Scar seem to be around each other? I mean they just met and they act like they've known each other for years." he asks with a serious expression, Roxy can feel her little happy balloon explode into a million pieces. 'Well there went that dream' she thinks.

"I've no idea what you're talking about." she says with just a hint on bitterness in her voice, Nightwing catches it and was about to comment on it when Scar walks in with a syringe filled with a liquid that was emanating a bluish glow and a patch that had a lighter blue that could be seen on the adhesive.

"Alright Roxy...I have two choices for you..." Scar says coming closer, he gives Nightwing a small smile and a nod before sitting next to Roxy on her bed and holds up the objects.

"In this hand I have the patch that I told you about that will help suppress your powers and bring them under your control but it will take weeks and maybe even months because there is only so much you can mix into the adhesive..." Scar says holding up the patch before putting it on the bed.

"And in this hand..." Scar holds up the syringe and can see the slight fear cross Roxy's eyes as she eyes it warily as if it was going to attack her. "Sorry...I know how much you hate needles but here me out...it contains nano-machines that when injected, I've programmed to reconstruct your DNA to bring your power under control, the entire process will take about a day, the problem is it will be excruciatingly painful if your awake which is why part of the serum will block out your pain receptors and knock you unconscious for about a day." he finishes handing her the syringe.

She looks at it and weighs her choice, the patch would be easiest but it would take too long and she could possibly have another episode that might result in someone getting seriously hurt, and on the other hand she has this needle - she shudders just thinking about it piercing her skin but it's the best option at this point and she trusts Scar with her life so she goes with his judgment on this.

"The needle." she says handing it to him, Scar nods and takes the syringe back from her.
"Nightwing I'll need an IV from the medical lab." he says looking at Nightwing who nods and reaches across and gives Roxy's hand a light squeeze.
"I'll be here when you wake up." he says with a small smile, Roxy blushes and nods as she averts her eyes. Nightwing stands and walks out to complete Scar's task.

"Alright clothes off...you can keep your underwear on though." Scar says evenly, Roxy's head snaps to him from watching Nightwing walk out.
"What? You don't want to ruin your clothes with sweat do you?" he asks as he stands and pulls the covers of her bed out, she stares at him for a moment before pulling off her top and her shorts so she is in nothing but a regular black bra and superman panties, Scar's eyes drift as a smirk comes to his face.

"Nice..." he says with a grin, Roxy shoves him playfully before she slides into her bed and pulls the covers up to her chest but leaves her left arm out for Scar, to say she was nervous would have been an understatement.

"Will you stay with me?..." she asks in a small voice, Scar looks into her eyes and sees the fear in the and leans over and kisses her on the forehead and brushes her bangs to the side.

"Of course Roxy, you know I'll never leave you..." he says backing away and grabbing the syringe and cleaning the area where he was going to inject the serum, his words warm her heart and help ease some of the fear and tension.

"Here we go...see you in a day." he says with a smile, the last thing she sees before unconsciousness claimed her was Scar deep blue eyes looking at her with worry for his friend, praying to anyone who would listen that the nano-machines would do what he programmed them to do.

She was floating in the sky, it was a beautiful sunny day and she felt so free... but suddenly sky darkened and turned red, everything looked destroyed like there was an apocalypse a few days ago, she was scared and alone, the feeling of peace gone.

Scar was watching Roxy stirring in her sleep. She moaned softly like she was in pain. He could see her eyes moving behind the lids. It was probably very painful for her to go through this, but it was the only way he knew to help her. His superhearing picked up a whisper "Sam.." he leaned closer to check if she was awake, but thankfully she was still unconscious. Maybe not only pain accompanied the process.

She was having the worst nightmare ever. She was flying around the planet over and over again only to find she was alone, completely alone. She screamed in agony. No, this can't be happening. She landed and hugged her legs to her chest crying. After some time she opened her eyes to realize she was in the lab again.

"No... no, please, don't do that! please, let me go!" she tossed and turned, tears running down her cheeks. Scar's heart was bleeding for her, seeing her suffering so much almost physically hurt.

"Mom!..."

After some time Scar began to doze. He was sitting in the chair beside her bed and tried his best not to fall asleep. She'd need him if she woke up.
He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Nightwing in his civilian clothes with sun glasses on.
"Go get some sleep, I'll stay with her." Scar nodded and left.

Richard saw her chest heaving heavily.
She was running down the city park. Her long blonde hair flew away in the wind. A torn white lab coat was the only thing she was wearing. Run, hide. The only thoughts pulsating in her head.
"I'm a freak, I'm a freak now.." she whispered in her sleep. Nightwing leaned closer and squeezed her hand lightly.

Suddenly she was in a bathroom splashing cold water onto her face. Scar stood behind her.
"Sam, he doesn't even know I exist." Nightwing heard her saying. What is she talking about? Who is that mysterious man that possibly is stupid enough not to notice her?

She stirred again and turned her head to face Nightwing. Her lashes fluttered and he saw a small smile coming to her face.

"I smell sex. Somebody's gotten laid." she teased Scar who was standing in the kitchen in his superman boxers drinking milk right from the package. She came closer, but when he turned around his face transformed into evil smirk and she realized it was Antonov standing in front of her. "No!" she screamed.
Nightwing saw the smile was gone to be replaced by tears and painful expression. He leaned over and wiped her forehead with a cool cloth. He repeated the action every 30 minutes to help with the nightmares.
It had been a few hours of Nightwing watching over Roxy as he started to feel tired, it was already pretty late, he leaned back in the chair and took his shades off, rubbing the bridge of his nose. He found himself falling asleep slowly.

But his hearing picked up the sound of the door opening and there stood Scar with a tray of food with fresh coffee on it.

"Thought you could use a pick me up..." Scar says with a smile as he comes over and sets the tray down on her nightstand and handing Nightwing a cup.
"Thanks..." Dick says with a tired voice, they both stare at the sleeping girl for any sign of change as it was nearly time for Roxy to come out of her little healing process, Scar's hearing picked up on something and his eyes began to widen "I won't let you take me again Antonov...die!" Roxy whispered angrily as Scar saw the lightning begin to emanate from her hands.

"Nightwing move!" Scar says grabbing Nightwing with one hand and tossing him at the door, Nightwing landed on his feet and just managed to get out the door when a monstrous lightning bolt emanated from Roxy's body in all directions, Scar stood his ground and took the brunt of it but wasn't prepared for that amount of power as it blew him through the wall and landed with a loud thud that shook the entire mountain, Dick managed to duck just in time when Scar flew through the wall.

"Scar!" Nightwing yelled as he came to the heroes side, Scar was clutching his chest and when he pulled it away he had a sizeable gash across his abdomen that ended at his pecks.

"That's a first" he says examining the wound, it was quickly healing but it wouldn't be fast enough as he heard Roxy calling for him.
"Sam?" he heard her voice plain as day as he stood up and rushed to her side, her grey eyes meeting his blue

Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the wound that could be seen through a huge hole in his shirt.
"Wha.. what happened?" she said weakly. She felt exhausted, her head was spinning and she was worried she was still in a nightmare. "Is everyone okay? Where's Antonov?"
"Shh, it's okay. It was just a nightmare. You're gonna be alright, serum worked, see, you don't have that electrical field around you anymore." Scar said soothingly. She turned around and then looked down at her hands to see she was okay indeed. It took her a few moments to realize where she was, and then she raised her head to see a tall dark haired handsome guy with crystal blue eyes came to stand beside Scar. He was looking at her with concern and... something else she couldn't quite recognize. She tried to remember who he resembled her in looks. And then it hit her. She stared at him for what seemed like eternity, time seemed to stop as she studied his face closely. His eyes... so that's how Nightwing looks without a mask... she couldn't tear her gaze off his face.

It had been a few seconds before Scar coughed bringing them both out of their trance, Roxy blushed and turned her eyes away from Dick's who had mumbled something about going to go find his glasses before the rest of the team came rushing in to see what that explosion was.

"You're so obvious." Scar says with a smile, normally Roxy would have countered but she was far too tired to do anything as she signaled for Scar to help her up. Once she was sitting against the wall she had a chance to see a huge hole in her wall.

"Did I do that?" she asks with a whisper, her voice was weak from not being used for a day.
"Yep...blew me right threw it." Scar says with a smirk, she gives him a glare and brings her hand to his chest and feels that the wound had already closed.

"How did I manage to hurt you? I've hit you with my most powerful strike before and it barely left a scorch mark." she traces her fingers over his chest to make sure the wound was indeed gone.
"I think the lightning bolt you hit me with was a discharge of sorts...it was your body getting rid of all the excess energy...I'm just glad I was in the room when it happened or we would be having a different conversation about Nightwing." he says as he tears off the still smoldering shirt and stands but Roxy has just enough energy to catch his arm and look him in the eye.

"What do you mean?" she asks.

"Your loverboy spent the entire night by your side." she saw a playful grin started to appear on his face.
"What? he did?.." she frowned in confusion.
"Yep. I came in just in time to push him away from your blast."
"Oh my god.. I could've killed him..." she pressed her palm to her mouth in shock.
"You're missing the point. He spent this whole time with you wiping your forehead with a wet rag when you went through the most painful moments. What do you think this could mean?" he smirked.
"I.. I don't know.. I think we were talking about something until I passed out.. but I'm not sure what is real and what was just a nightmare.. something about you... and.. Batgirl.. yeah, right, Batgirl." the bitterness audible in her tone.

Scar tried to stifle a laugh but seeing Roxy's pushed him over the edge as he openly laughed.
"What's so funny?" she asks crossing her hands over her chest and shooting him a glare.
After Scar wiped the tear from his eye he smiled. "You're jealous." he states, his smile only widens as Roxy turns away and mumbles something under her breathe.

Scar was about to say something when his hearing caught Cassie's voice talking to Nightwing as they came down the hall.
"I hate to alarm you but Nightwing is coming this way." she arches an eyebrow.
"So?" she asks, he lets his eyes drop and she follows them and she realizes she is still in her underwear, she shrieks as she pushes Scar off the bed.
"Get me some clothes..." she whispers hastily, Scar smiles and in the blink of an eye he comes back with an oversized t-shirt and some shorts.

"Hold still." he says as he vibrates his hands and puts the clothing on her with ease, once he had put the shorts on her he had just enough time to put his hands by his side and act normal as Cassie came around the corner.

When Cassie saw Roxy was okay, she rushed to her and hugged her tight.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright!" the blonde kept hugging Roxy until she coughed faking lack of oxygen. "Oh, I'm sorry." she backed away blushing a little.
"You can't even imagine how glad I am, finally this hell is over and I'm gonna go outside!" Roxy smiled at the girl and noticed Nightwing standing in the doorway.
"Uhm, Cassie, do you want some coffee?" Scar asked dragging confused Wonder Girl out of the room.

Nightwing coughed to get rid of a lump that suddenly appeared in his throat.
"Uhm.. I wanted to ask you not to-" but she cut him off knowing what he has wanted to tell to make it less awkward for him.
"I won't tell anyone. I promise."
"Thanks... I'm glad you're okay." he said still not daring to look at her.
"Uh-huh." he turned to leave but stopped when she called him.
"Erm ... Nightwing?"

"Yes?"

"Scar told me about you.. That you were sitting beside my bed this whole time... I appreciate this...thank you." he nodded in response and left.

~XXX~

"But I don't even like coffee." Cassie says as she walks down the hall with Scar, he turns and gives her a small smile.
"Hot chocolate then?" he asks, Cassie beams and nods her head at him, she had heard about Scar's legendary hot chocolate skills from Roxy and she was happy she finally got to test it for herself.

Scar rounds the corner to the kitchen and immediately gets to work collecting all the ingredients - before long Cassie sees his eyes glow red as he drops a few marshmallows into the mugs as a topper before heading over and handing her a mug, she inhales the heavenly scent and takes a sip an sighs as the drink takes her taste buds on a journey through chocolate heaven.

"This is amazing." Cassie says turning to Scar who now had a chocolate mustache, she tries to stifle a giggle but it turns into a full out laugh when she sees the confused look on his face.
"What?" he asks as he looks around for the answer, Roxy had managed to get out of bed and head to the kitchen and gave Scar a warm smile as she looks at her two friends but when she sees what they're drinking she crosses her arms and stares at Scar.

"Did you make me an-" she was cut off by Scar outstretching his hand with a third mug and a smug smile.

"Good boy." Roxy nodded in approval as she took the mug. Apparently Nightwing told everyone about her recovery because soon the kitchen was filled with superheroes hugging Roxy and saying how glad they were she was finally okay. Bart was the last one to come with a half-eaten sandwich in his hand.
"Hey, beautiful! I've heard you're back. Nice to see you." he scooted closer as if going to embrace her but in the last second he stopped in his tracks and froze awkwardly. "I.. uhm..I made you a sandwich." he handed her what was left of it and blushed a little. "But I got hungry, so it shrunk a bit, I'm sorry."
Roxy gave a small laugh. "That is so sweet, thank you, Bart." she leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed furiously and couldn't hold back a broad smile coming to his face. After Megan came to greet Roxy, Bart stepped aside and said to Blue Beetle with a dreamy sigh.

"That girl is so crash!"
