Alfred help Bats. Rowe we need to talk."
Nightwing knew her very well. He knew she could be trusted. He also knew that her and Barbara never did get along. He would have to tread carefully.
Nightwing and Harper walked into another part of the bat cave until they were at the bat computer. He sat down in the chair and gazed at her.
"I assume you can guess who we all are."
She looked at him for a second.
"Yea."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Bruce Wayne." She said with absolute certainty.
Nightwing burted in howling laughter.
"S-shut up!" She said blushing.
He started laughing even louder.
When he finally calmed down he gave her a serious look.
He took his mask off and she gasped.
"Dick?"
"Your so mean to call me that!" He said joking.
"That's your name asshole!"
"I need you to tell me everything that you know. All of it."
"OK. It all started a few weeks ago. When I first met Alfred. I was at that Gala thing that happened here. I met Alfred there but left early. When I got home I found my brother all beat up and hurt. They had shaved the word fag into his head. I wanted to show those bullies that we would not let them scare us. So I shaved my head the same way and changed my style a bit.
Anyways a few days later my brother and I were walking home when we were jumped by this same bullies. But there were more. We were gonna die but then He showed up and saved us from them. From that moment on I was a super fan. Tracing his movements and finding his bat boxes and fixing them."
"Bat boxes? That's not even what they are."
"Shut up dick face."
"Please continue."
"I was in the sewer messing with his tech when he came in on a boat fighting a gang and a tiger strangely. I drained the pipeline and helped him and he told me to leave him alone. I saw him again a few days later. He was knocked out and bloody floating in the water. He kept muttering directions. I followed them and ended up in the boat thingy."
"Bat boat."
"Boat thingy. Anyway The boat figured out I was there and took us here."
Nightwing thought for a second.
What now? She is in this now...damnit.
"I'm not sure what comes next...maybe you should stay. I think we should teach you to fight. A war on the batfamily is coming. The court had to see you help us. You're in this now.
"Elbows up more. No that's too high. Okay good now spread your legs more."
"WHAT?"
"Get your mind out of the gutter."
Dick was standing beside harper inspecting her form.
"What are we doing again?" she asked.
"I'm teaching you kick boxing and boxing. You need to be able to defend yourself."
"Are you sure that I'm cut out for this?"
"Yea. You're honestly a natural. Or I'm just a great teacher. Anyway I want you to do twenty left hand jabs and 50 right foot kicks."
"Got it boss man. What are you going to do?"she asked.
"Patrol."
"Can you-"
"Check on your brother? Yea. Actually...maybe you can come with me. We can take the batmobile and if anything happens I got it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yea you can put on my old robin costume. You're adz about the same night and stuff as I was then. Your butts a bit bigger and your chest too but I thing it can work."
"Really perv!" She said laughing.
The two walked into the cave together.
"You can put the body suit itself on then I can help you with the rest." He said as he lead her to a dressing room.
She grinned
"Are you sure you don't wanna see me naked?"
Dick sputter and lost his entire friken mind for like two minutes.
"Harper laughed. When your brain is fixed call tell me. I'm gonna go get dressed.
She's gonna be the death of me.
The two hopped into the batmobile together.
Nightwing expected the patrol tot go easy.
He and harper currently dressed as robin, Were standing on a sky scraper together.
"Its like flying…" She said suddenly.
"Him…what?"
"I said being up here...its like flying."
Night wing sighed as he looked over the city.
"Yea it is." It reminds me of when I was in the circus. I feel free." He said.
"What was it like?" Harper asked him. She leaned against his shoulder.
"Imagine being able to feel yourself be truly free. To see the world as a bird does. It makes all of your problems and pain seem small. And it makes you look cool!" The two shared a small laugh.
"Awe how...sweet."
"Dick felt harper tense up but he himself was not surprised.
"Grampa Cobb. I was wondering when I would see you again."
"Harper. Jump off."
"Are you telling me to kill myself!"
Dick sighed and pushed her off the roof.
She screened as she fell.
"I never did pay you back for that bomb trap." This is true Cobb said from his place in the shadows. "Let's fix that."
Dick jumped off the roof
"NO!" Cobb said before a bomb went off in his face.
Dick and harper were sitting beside each other on a large black net.
"When did you set this up?"
"An hour ago."
"HOW."
"I'm nightwing."
He pulled a string and the net began to descend when a flaming and enraged talon tell into it.
"ILL KILL YOU BASTARD!"
He slashed the rope and all three plummeted into Gotham harbor.
Nightwing grabbed onto harper to break her fall into the water. His suit could take the impact better. It was designed to take heavy fall damage.
He swam to shore carrying Cobb with him and harper swimming beside him.
"You okay?" He asked her. She spat some water out and brushed her hair back with her hand.
"Yea. So you planned all of this?"
He grimaced deeply and and avoided her eyes.
"Yea. I needed Cobb's body. He heals from any wound so I dropped him in the bay. Its cold so his healing power would slow a bit. Now I can use this liquid nitrogen."
He pulled out a syringe.
"Now let's get to work."
