As the red aura began to cover Icy, Kid Flash had walked into the room with Robin.

"K.F. the bat cave is-Icy!" They both quickly ran to her side. They saw that she was covered in the red aura. Kid Flash went to get help. Robin grabbed her and tried to wake her up. "Wake up! Come on! What's going on?"

"Alright, you guys, Klarion's aura can only last for so long in order for us to find her. The coordinates are set. Me and Flash are going to warm up the new machine enough for you two get her and bring her back. There's only one thing; Kalrion senses that Icy connection with our world is shortening by the second; He believes that his half there has caused some kind of break for Icy. You guys have to get there in time or else Icy won't be able to go home." Zoom explained and typed in the codes for the machine.

Kid Flash and Kid Zoom nodded. They only had one chance to do this.

Flash and Zoom would stay behind to power up the machine so the portal wouldn't close. KZ and Kid Flash had to only on each other to get home.

Damian waited in the room with the Team Justice team. He hated that he had to be here. So much for being well respected, and his team-mates, this was incorrigible. The buffoons believed that today was for him and the new kid to be initiated to Team Justice. He thought he should happy for this but how can he? Icy was still there and KZ and Kid Flash were out to get her. They had a time limit. Her clock was ticking.

Icy struggled to pull herself out of this red aura. She could see herself entangled in the magic while Robin was struggling to wake her up. She couldn't but why? The bonds began to get stronger. Her body felt like it was starting to collapse. Her breathes were starting to get shorter and shorter.

Kid Flash got Batman and Flash.

"Icy she's engulfed in some sort of red magic. She can't wake up!"

Batman and Flash headed to the medic room.

They saw that Robin was trying to wake her up.

"Her system seems to be failing." Batman had hooked up to a machine. "The red aura must have been Klarion's doing with Red Arrow. Whatever they injected her with must be causing this disruption within in her body. "

Flash and Kid Flash were suddenly thrown to the wall. The portal began to open but then had stopped.

"Damian, cheer up!" Pyro said. "This is totally what you wanted!"

Damian scowled.

"Now, now I'm sure Damian is excited. He just really wants Kid Zoom here." Vortex explained.

Catgirl snickered. "Where is Zoom Jr.? There's food and he's not here to eat it."

Damian only growled even more. Idiots!

Before Damian could make a snarky remark, the team was called into alert.

"Everyone Young Injustice is at the Zoom museum!" Red Hood alerted the team.

Kid Flash and KZ looked at each other and found themselves suddenly sucked right back but they fought the pressure and began running even faster.

They trudged through the struggle and pried the portal open.

In their haste, Icy was given the antidote but the time was ticking. The red aura disappeared and her memories came back. Batman and Robin helped her to the portal. Flash and Kid Flash tried to get the portal open.

Icy looked Kid Flash and KZ and told them, "Hurry!"

"We're trying." KZ pulled even more but then his foot slipped. He held onto Kid Flash.

"The portal is getting smaller and Icy's connection with your world is slipping." Batman said and took out his special ray.

Kid Flash from the other universe said. "We only a few more minutes to take Icy back before her bond with our world breaks."

"What?" KF said and looked at his twin.

"He means that because of the injection, the magic keeping her here is causing a disruption. Icy's molecular structure is becoming instable. It's trying to figure out where she belongs. Now she's fine but we have to get her home before it's too late." He blasted the ray but then time had run out.

Icy held out her hand but then as went into the portal, she gasped as the molecules were beginning to disperse.

KF pulled her back and her hand pulled back together.

"She's stuck isn't she?" Kid Flash asked.

"I'm afraid she is. She leaves this world than she disappears. She has to stay." Batman said.

Kid Zoom looked at Icy."I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. And Kid Flash it isn't yours either. Tell the others goodbye and Icicle Jr. It's not his either. Tell Robin I loved him and that I know he'll do the right thing. Damian will be fine without me. Kid Zoom, you're my best friend and I love you. I'm sorry but goodbye." Icy finished.

The pull got stronger and then Kid Flash and Kid Zoom were being pulled back into their world.

"ICY!"

Damian suddenly felt his heart tighten and then he saw that KZ and Kid Flash had crashed into the museum. Young Injustice had just left.

KZ was in tears. He knew that they had failed.

"Kid Flash!"

"Kid Zoom!"

The speedsters had grabbed the kids.

"It was nothing we could do." They were ambushed by the Injustice team excluding Robin. Aqualad had short circuited the power. There was a power shortage from the generator and that time was lost to power it up.

Kid Zoom wept into Zoom's arms. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Icy is going to be okay right?" Kid Flash asked.

Robin nodded. "Batman is just doing tests on her. It appears she's here to stay."

"Well that's kind of unexpected."

"Yeah, if only they had more time."

2015 May 18

A few years later Nicole got ready to walk the state.

"Nicole-"

Applause was heard from the arena. Alfred took out his recorder to record the moment. Dick, Tim and Bruce were in the audience watching Nicole walk down the arena; she graduated from Gotham.

Bruce was quite proud to have one of his children graduating from college. He hoped that Dick would follow in her footsteps. From his recent move to outside the manor, he wasn't sure if Dick was going to college.

After the incident, she was taken under his wing. While she wasn't a bat, he cared for her well being. After Jason, he was more careful. He had too. He was responsible for a few lives besides his own. Dick was grown but that didn't mean anything. Barbara was determined but her father was commissioner and one of his oldest allies. Tim was the youngest and after Jason he had to be more careful. Nicole was offered the batgirl position but she declined. She was still someone he watched out for.

Bruce saw that Dick clapped and so did Tim.

Tim was his new protégé and he remembered the protest from Dick.

It was the year 2014 when Nicole was in college and Richard was finishing up high school.

Icy and Nightwing had just come back to the batcave from an intense mission in Star City.

They had both noticed the training equipment with Tim. Tim was new to their family. Bruce had recently adopted him and the kid was smart enough to figure out Bruce as Batman and Dick as Nightwing. He learned Icy was Nicky from walking on her changing. Of course Nightwing didn't mind Tim training here and then but he did mind Tim going out on patrol.

"What is that?" Nightwing pointed at a very new Robin outfit laying out on a manikin.

"It's Tim's."

"What?"

Icy held back Nightwing as Batman explained his new protégé.

"Tim will be going on patrol as a trial test before he starts training as Robin. He won't officially be Robin until a few years."

"How can you risk losing another Robin? After Jason how can you even think of having another child join?" Icy tightened the grip on Nightwing's shoulder blades.

"Nightwing please just listen to him." Icy pleaded. "It's not Batman but Tim. Tim wants to be Robin. He isn't being pressured into anything."

"Alright we should just all listen to kids who want to fight criminals and end up in difficult situations. He could die just like Jason."

"Jason died trying to save someone." Bruce said. "He did what Icy would do or I would do. He did what you would do."

Nightwing just left the cave.

Tim was still in the works of training but he was more serious than ever. He hated to admit it but she was right that Tim would be the kid to be next in line. He asked her for her opinion after Dick left.

"Tim's in bed. Dick is somewhere in Gotham patrolling. He's still trying to cool off." Nicky said.

Dinner had been served and Nicole helped Tim with some homework. Bruce was in the study going over some papers. Alfred was off writing.

She sat down while looking at the picture of Jason.

"Do you think I'm making a mistake?" Bruce surprised her. "With Tim, do you think I'm wrong for allowing him to be the next in line? Maybe there shouldn't be any more Robins after Jason." Bruce said looking intensely at Nicole.

Nicole only stared at him and then at Jason's picture. "What happened to Jason was terrible and the fact that he did die because of the Joker makes it even worse. We never saw it coming with Jason especially since both Nightwing and I were on other missions. One of us was supposed to go with you. Jason wasn't supposed to go on that mission but he did. Bruce, Jason always knew that there was the chance that something could happen. He always talked to me whenever he felt like he couldn't talk to you or Dick. You know he always wanted your approval and Dick's. He wanted to be just like Dick. He wanted you to be proud of him."

"I was and Jason died because of me."

"No he died because of the Joker. He died trying to be a hero. He died as a good person. Jason wanted the Robin mantel and he worked hard for it because every Batman needs a Robin."

"What about Tim? Maybe he needs another future as someone and not Robin."

"Bruce you'll always need a Robin. Tim is a good kid and he's determined to be Robin with or without your help. You need to be there for him. Dick will get over it and Jason would want you to move on."

"I know but the Joker-"

"He needs to pay but you'll be betraying in what we believe in. We don't believe in covering our hands in blood."

"Nicole where are you going?" Bruce asked as she started to leave.

She looked over her shoulder. "I'm going to find Dick and talk to him. You need to think about this."

"Hey Nicky, congrats!" The ginger hugged her. "I'll see you later." She winked.

Barbara had greeted Nicole before she left with her father. She walked to the limo and they drove to the manor.

"So I'm assuming you will be on your own also." Bruce said and she nodded. "Well just know I'll be here with Aldred."

"Thanks, Bruce. I am looking for new ones in Gotham. I am working for you."

"Yes you are. You've earned it."

She smiled. Years ago when KZ and Kid Flash had left, she had continued to stay at the Wayne manor even though she said that she hadn't minded staying at Mount Justice. Bruce insisted that she stay there for the remainder of high school and college. She did but now she was moving out. Dick had already moved out. It was rather impulsively because he was still well Dick. He seemed quite distant but she figured because of Jason. She couldn't believe that it happened. That kid was a part of her life and now he wasn't. She never knew why it happened but now she knew why the Bat family in her old world turned to crime. She just hoped that this one wouldn't fall apart.

They were going to go home to eat and celebrate with the immediate Bat family. Only thing she just wished Dick was here. Dick wasn't even coming to the Wayne manor to celebrate. Tim was though and he was too cute. She loved the kid and would hate anything to happen to him. Though she thought someone else was there in the audience.

Wally zetaed back to Mount Justice and found Dick there with his sunglasses.

"So I guess you didn't want to sit with us." Dick smirked.

"Guess I didn't." Wally said.

"I figured you would come see her graduate before she left for the real world."

"Yeah I mean I never see her anyway. I'm in California and she's in Gotham."

"And you're with Artemis."

"I know; thanks for reminding me for the 200th time."

Wally had moved out with Artemis and was with her. They had retired and were together. She loved him and he loved her. Dick always reminded him because of the fact that Nicole was still single and he wasn't. Wally always thought Dick was the mature one but now he wasn't. Why would he always remind him that he was taken? He knew it and thought about it every day.

Dick had moved out because she was always there and hormones kicked in. Lately Dick spent more time in the bathroom than with her. So he decided to move out. He needed space. It was stupid that they still cared for Nicole. They had grown up and these feelings were still there.

Tim went undercover to go to Mt. Justice while Nicole just went as herself with her blue skin. She was still Icy but she wasn't either. She spent more time at the batcave than Mt. Justice for various reasons. It was still weird without Artemis and Wally. Wally, that made her feel something. She liked him a lot when she was younger but now it was weird. Wally was with Artemis the love of his life. She just didn't understand why all these years she wondered if Wally even felt that way. There was no way.

Now she even loved her so called little brother more. Dick who was so petite and small grew into a muscular male. It was rather hard not to look at him but she did. He was just not her Dick anymore. He was now Nightwing. He stopped butchering the words and was more serious than ever. Maybe because he was now team leader and he grew up. It was painful to see that she was losing him.

Young Justice was her second home and the team knew she was Icy but grew to know her as Nicky. She still was in her power form but Nicky felt more comfy. She felt closer to Conner and M'gann than the others. They were the power couple but lately they seemed so different. She just didn't know anymore.

Robin looked at her and she sighed. They had been recognized and then heard the "Surprise!"

Confetti covered her body. It reminded her of that day with Team Justice.

"Congratulations to Nicky!" Her Martian friend said. She looked up to see a few of the team's members: Artemis, Zatanna, Rocket, Conner, Mal, Garfield, Batgirl and Wolf. Some were still on missions.

She laughed and put on the hat that Garfield gave her.

"I know; I'm done with school. Where is Nightwing?" She asked. Nightwing said he was here.

"I don't know. I think he's with Wally in the training room." Conner said.

"Just get started you guys, I'll get them." Nicky said and walked.

She heard the clash and the door swerved. "Alright, you two, stop putting each other in a headlock."

She pried them off each other. "Seriously stop! I'm sick of this! You two are the best of friends. Whatever is causing this has to stop. Really it has to."

"I'm getting food." Wally ran to the others.

"You should tell me what's wrong." She sat down to him."Wally and you are best friends and suddenly over the time you two have been at each other's throats."

Cake was served.

"You're so old!" Garfield said. "Ow!"

"Garfield." Megan scolded him.

Nicky giggled," I am old. Soon I'm going to be with the big leagues."

"Justice League? You took up their offer?" Rocket asked.

She shook her head. "No I'm not ready for that. Besides most of the world doesn't know I exist. I enjoy my time here."

Dick opened the door and carried Nicky to his bedroom.

"You're too drunk." He muffled. He found her at a bar with Selina drunk. It seemed that she wanted to give her a great celebration too.

"No I'm not. I'm just tired." She pinched his cheeks. "You're so cute and hot."

He shook his head and made sure to find some clothes for her to wear. "Here wear this." He tossed it to her while he went to the bathroom to change. Why did she get drunk? Good thing Bruce knew she was going to be with me. She probably wouldn't have made it back.

He came out to see her passed out with only her bra and panties on. He groaned. "I don't want to take another shower." He pulled the sheet cover on her hoping she wouldn't be too cold.

He got into bed and just held her. "You just don't know how much trouble you cause. You're a little trouble maker."
