A/N: I do not know the Teen Titans, Justice League, or Batman: Under the Red Hood. They're owned by DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation respectively.
I watch over Gotham from a random building and this is a rare night in Gotham, because no soul dare to commit a crime while I'm taking care of Gotham. I don't know if this is a normal day for Bruce, well nights like these; where everyone is too sacred to try to start a crime. I was about to leave and go to another section of Gotham until I saw Starfire flying from a distance. So I decide to descend to a different building instead. She landed a few feet away from and I smiled at her, "So what are you doing out so late?" I playfully ask.
"I was going out for a midnight stroll." She was looking at the Batsuit and she put her hand on the Bat insignia on my chest. I held her hand there and I rest my head on hers. "It's so weird seeing you as Batman." She clearly stated.
"I know but the funny part is I'm going to miss being Batman." I chuckled at my comment.
"What will become of us?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm pregnant." Wha? Am... Am I hearing this right? Am I going to be a father? Star starts to look sad, she starts to walk away, but I grab her arm and pull her into a sweet kiss; letting her know that I want the child.
She smiles at me, "When we get back to cave, we'll talk about this more. I'll keep my promise this time." She gives me a quick peck on the lips and she flies back to the Batcave and I smile at a new future. A future where my child won't have to worry about her parents dying.
Hours started to fly by as I wait to talk to Kori about us becoming parents. Although I'm very happy that I'm going to be a father but I have to worry about Kori's safety. What if Deathstroke finds out, Joker tries to kill her, and what if Kori protects our child from harm resulting in her death? I don't want to worry about these dangers happening to my family! I don't want my child to worry about witnessing our deaths right in front of her! Bruce and I had our share of witnessing our parents die in front of us, when we couldn't do a damn thing about it, but only see their graves. Which reminds me, I've only been sulking in their deaths; I haven't brought them anything to show for it. I think during the day I'll place two roses at Haley's Circus.
I finally return to the Batcave and I take off my cowl. I start to search for Kori but I do not see her anywhere in the cave. The sounds of soft footsteps alert to someone being in the cave, "So I hear you're going to a father now?"
"I hope everything is going to alright." I reply to Bruce.
"So you do know about Kori's pregnancy. When did she tell you?"
"She told me about five hours ago. How do you know that she is pregnant?"
"She left the pregnancy tester in the Batcave, she must've been thinking that Diana and I would be returning at around 6 AM." I nod at him.
"So is Diana talking to her about what we are going to plan?" He nods.
"You know that your stepmother is quite pissed that you're going to be a father." We shared a laugh together.
"What is stepmother going to do?" What is Bruce trying to tell me with his body language? "Is she going to take away my monthly allowance?" I ask playfully then I notice that he facepalmed, "She's behind me, isn't she."
"Don't let that stop you, just keep digging." She puts her hand on my shoulder and I take a huge gulp at my doomed fate.
After three straight hours of Diana telling me how I'm too young to have a kid, I'm 18 for crying out loud! I know what I'm doing right now! Kori and I walk into our room in silence and we rest together happily; no words, no kisses, just resting our eyes.
After we slept for I think eight hours, I check the news to see Gotham City celebrate the return of Gotham's favorite married couple. The media isn't letting their return go by unnoticed. This truly marks where I don't have to deal with the Selina's lust for Bruce, Bruce should pay me double for having to having to encounter her crap. I wonder he was doing with her before he started dating Diana? However I will be going to miss my Batsuit and admittedly I will be missing that cape too. All I gotta do is wait for Bruce to retire and spend the rest of his life with Diana. Until then I will be Nightwing, leader of the Titans and defender of Jump City!
After watching the media trying to get an exclusive interview with them, I decided to leave the Manor, and visit Haley's Circus. I hear their in town for a week, so it'll be good to see everyone, including Haley. Before I could go over there, I bought two red roses, and I began my trip to Haley's Circus.
I enter the circus and I'm immediately see the spot where my parents died. I walk over there and kneel to the spot. I open the box containing the roses and place them down, "Hello mom and dad. It's been forever since I last saw you guys, Bruce has taken good care of me, so you don't have to worry about my safety. At least for the moment," I add in there, "Mom, dad. I'm going to have a child with an amazing woman I met and I wish you would've met each other. I'm thinking of naming him/her either Thomas or Mary. That has a nice ring to it. Don't you think?" I chuckle while a tear escapes my eye, then I feel a soft touch upon my shoulder.
"I think it sounds good, too, Richard." Kori answers and kneels next to me with her arm around my neck pulling me closer to her. After five minutes of kneeling down, we get up, and begin to leave.
"Dick Grayson!" We turned around to see Haley smiling at us.
"Haley!" I shook his hand, "How have you been? This is my lovely girlfriend, Kori."
"The circus, young Grayson. Nice to meet you Kori."
I notice something in his eyes that doesn't go unnoticed by me, "What's wrong Haley?"
He looked away, "I'm dying, Dick, and I do not have anyone to take care of the circus. I don't want to see anyone from the circus to become jobless."
"Let me buy the circus off of you." He looked at me with shock, "Think of it as me repaying what you've done for my family and I." His relieved look was noticeable.
"Thank you, Dick."

"Sir, we are ready to proceed with the project!" A scientist told a middle-aged man.
"Boy, are we ahead of schedule!" He replied to them.
"So, who will we use as the surrogate mother?" He asked.
The man looked down and was hesitating if he should use his daughter for this experiment. "Bring me... Talia!" He answered with such conviction.

Every member of the Justice League and Titans were inside the Watchtower for a ceremony. Although the League was still relatively young but it wouldn't hurt them to have honorary members to call upon in extreme situations. The five members of the Titans walked forward towards the center of aisle with members of the League on the right side and Titans on the left. The Trinity stood at the in front of everyone with medals in their hands. The five members started walking towards the Trinity and they stopped when they reached them. "In a time of constant threats from villains like Lex Luthor, Joker, or Cheetah." Wonder Woman began her speech.
"It's safe to know that there is someone who can answer the call of justice at any moment." Batman continued the speech.
"It gives us great pleasure to announce the first of many new members." Superman stated.
"Starfire, Raven," Wonder Woman called their names.
"Cyborg, Changeling," Superman called the next two Titans.
"And Nightwing." Batman finished listing the names and the five new members received their medals and communicators. The crowd started clapping in celebration for the newest Justice League members.
After two hours of celebration, Raven went to her boyfriend, "So... Changeling? What do you want to do when we return to Jump City?"
"Yeah, before the whole ceremony took place, I talked to Superman to see if I could use a new name for myself." A quick pause, "I want to go out for tofu, then go to the beach, maybe get jiggy with it with my girlfriend, and go out for some herbal tea." He smiled to his woman trying to "kiss her ass".
"Sounds good to me," She smiled at him and she kissed him on the check and walked to talk to Hawkgirl. Changeling began to talk to Kid Flash, Flash, and Green Lantern.
Cyborg was in a different room and he knew, after this whole party was over, they were going to leave for Jump City. He didn't want to leave Sarah without telling her where he was going, he was in love with her, and they never talked about where they lived. It was the first time since his ex-girlfriend from high school, did someone love him for who he is. Although Sarah was mad at his apparent lie, however she couldn't stay mad at him, because she saw through all the wires and machinery. She saw his heart, which was totally human. Plus he was the only guy that wasn't looking at her like a piece of steak.
He put on his hologram rings and walked over to the transporter, "So you're not going to stay for the after party?" Nightwing asked.
"I gotta to talk to Sarah." Vic told him and Nightwing understood what this means to his friend. What if he never sees her again, so Nightwing sent Vic to where Sarah is currently interning. He knocked on the door and an old lady answered it.
"Is Sarah here?" He asks, she signals for the young man to enter the house, and tells him to sit down.
"Sarah, dear, a young man wants to see you." He overheard the older woman tell the younger one and Sarah walks into the room to see Vic sitting down.
"Vic, I'm glad you're here." She hugs him.
"I have to tell you something before I leave."
"What's happening Vic?"
"I'm going back to Jump City, in California." She looked happy about it and hugged him, but it confused Vic.
"Oh my goodness! I received a job offer in Jump City!" He looked at her in shocked, "I was going to tell you but I wasn't sure how you would respond." She was crying in happiness in his arms, "Also I'm leaving today, so is there someway that you could fly me over there or something like that would be extremely helpful, but I want to tell the kids good-bye, first." Sarah was telling him in between sniffles.
He smiled at her, "Of course." They walked outside to tell all the kids that they were leaving to Jump City. After they told the kids, Vic made sure that no one saw him, and he contacted Nightwing via the Titans' communicator. "Nightwing, you there?"
"Yes, what's happening Cyborg?"
"I can you beam Sarah and I to the Watchtower or Titans' Tower?"
"Sarah? The one you took to the wedding?"
"Yes."
"The one that has you by the balls?" Changeling added.
"Yes!" He said slightly irritated at his best friend.
"The one wearing the pants in the relationship?" Nightwing added the final blow.
"YES!" Vic almost yelled out but refrained. "Where are you guys at anyways?"
"Still at the Watchtower," Changeling confirmed, "but we are getting ready to leave though. Plus Superman is looking for you."
"For what?"
"I don't know, he said 'it was classified information'."
"Beam me up." After a few seconds, Vic wondered what was going on in their brains. "What are you guys waiting for?"
"You didn't say 'please'." Nightwing added.
Sarah entered the room with her luggage and she heard what Nightwing said, "May you please beam us up!" They both asked at the same time and they were beamed up to the Watchtower. Then Vic looked for Superman.
"You wanted to see me?" He asked.
"Yes, Victor. You impressed the League with the security system on Titans' Tower and the Watchtower would like an upgrade to our security systems. So what do you think?"
"It would be my honor."
"I'll contact you, later." Vic told the Man of Steel, then the Titans, along with Sarah, returned to Titans' Tower. Vic and Sarah went apartment searching for her and Vic didn't want her to me near the tower or downtown. It was for safety and they agreed upon it but she wanted to live near her job.
"What job are you being offered?" Vic asked.
"A teaching job at West Side School for the Handicapped and it would be nice of you to show up, too."
"When do you start?"
"I think in two weeks, so it would be optimal to find somewhere to live." After searching for what seemed like an hour, they finally found an apartment that satisfied both their needs of far and away from Titans' Tower and walking distance to the school. It was going to take about two days for her luggage to reach the apartment and about six hours to find food and place it inside the apartment's refrigerator and cabinets. They were happy that they would no longer have to use the internet to communicate with each other or use a phone to text each other, but could visit her anytime he had time to spend with her.
