10 years later
Dick Grayson stretched his arms. There was only so long he could sit at a computer these days before his whole body screamed at him.
"Are you alright my sweet?" he looked up to meet the lips that were above him with his own "What are you looking at?" asked Cassy as she eyed the computer screen.
"Just checking up on our little friend. I still would have liked to have seen him in a body cast personally" Dick watched his wife sigh as she looked over the video footage of Jones, their old boss from 10 years ago, who had sold them both out to Death Stroke.
Batman had decided to pay him a little visit after Slade was taken down and since then both Bruce and Dick had been keeping a close eye on him. And boy did the man know it, after 10 years he was a paranoid wreck. That gave Dick some peace of mind.
"You need to let your obsession with the past go my love, maybe then the nightmares will stop"
"The nightmares never stop. But knowing you're here makes them more bearable" Dick still couldn't believe how much difference 10 years could make. His new family had moved to America. As had Steph and now she and Tim shared a flat in Michigan away from all the hero nonsense.
Wally and Artemis had gotten married as had Babs and Sam.
Jason was missing...again but you always knew he wasn't far away.
Damien had gone to find himself up in the alps.
And Bruce had retired.
Now there was just one thing to keep his heart racing.
"You there Dick?"
"Commissioner Gordon how may I be of assistance" he chuckled to himself, he still hadn't gotten used to calling Babs Commissioner. He could hear shouting in the back ground from someone he presumed was Sam telling her to run for cover. Same old Sam, even after 10 years he still had no idea who he was married too.
"We're having a bit of a containment issue in Gotham, I need Batman and Nightwing here ASAP"
"On it" he cut the connection and looked over the shoulder his wife wasn't leaning on "You get that?"
Two figures emerged from the darkness.
"Yeh we got it" said Terry, lifting the cowl of his black and red suit to become Batman "You coming Night?" he turned to the black and blue figure behind him.
"Yeh, yeh give me a sec" said Nightwing pulling her long hair into a pony tail before donning her mask.
They started to leave
"Amber..." 18 year old Amber turned back to the couple at the computer. A few years after her parents got married her Dad was in an accident that had destroyed what was left of his leg, forcing him to retire from his already dwindling vigilante career. 3 years ago when she was nearly 16 she had met Terry who was her Grandfathers new assistant, with his help they had convinced both Bruce and her Dad to let her take on the name of Nightwing.
Now both Batman and Nightwing were once again a common sight in Gotham, they were a good team but still Dick couldn't help but worry about his only daughter.
But Amber just smiled, knowing the lecture he gave like the back of her hand.
"I know, I know dad. Stay Traught".
