It was a dark a stormy night. Talia Al Ghul, the daughter of the now deceased Ra's Al Ghul was in her home. With her father dead his entire army had left and. she was all alone. Despite the fact that it was raining outside she felt like taking a walk outside. But was stopped by a tap at the window. She looked to see the one known as Nightwing. She opened the window to let him in.

"Who goes there?" Talia asked.

"Talia it's me." Nightwing told her. "Robin?"

"It's Nightwing now." He answered.

"Didn't I warn you what would happen if I saw you again?" She was about to reach for her blade but Nightwing quickly grabbed her wrist.

"Talia please. I come in peace." He said.

"So what's with the new name and outfit?" She asked. "I took your advice on being my own man." He told her.

"Really. Glad to see that." Talia said. "So why are you here?"

"You're in danger." He said.

"What?!" Talia questioned. "What are you talking about?"

"I've been doing some investigating and discovered that now that your father's dead your the prime target. With you as a prisoner they control Ra's Al Ghul's power." Nightwing explained.

"They may or be coming here now." Nightwing said.

"I appreciate the warning "Nightwing," but you know very well I can take care of myself." Talia said. "Now get out!" Talia slammed the window shut on him.

He just sighed and went off. Meanwhile Talia made her way outside. She still felt like taking a walk. She walked near some bushes and started thinking to herself.

"So Robin's calling himself Nightwing now. How weak. I like the new outfit though and it was nice of him to come and warn me like that." She smiled before coming back to her senses. "No don't think about it." Talia said to herself. "You don't even know if he's being sincere." Unbeknownst to Talia a huge figure was standing behind her.

Just as Talia was about to head back a huge hand clamped over her mouth. "Hmm." "Mmm. Mmm" Talia mumbled as the she was dragged into the thicket.

"Hello Talia." It was Bane.

Meanwhile Nightwing was heading back to his jet when he heard something. Using his grappling hook he swung himself to the top of a ledge and saw Bane dragging Talia away to a boat. "You can't say I didn't warn you Talia." He said.

Bane soon brought Talia onto the boat. He tied her to a chair. "Get comfortable. Because it's going to be a long trip." Bane said.

"You'll never get away with this Bane." Talia protested.

"I already have. With you as my captive soon I'll rule the Society of Shadows." Bane declared. "And that's enough out of you." He then took a white peace of cloth and tied it around Talia's mouth. He then went back to the motor room. Unknown that Nightwing was on board. He snuck past Bane and found Talia. He went and removed the gag from her mouth.

"It took you long enough." She scolded him.

"Shh." Nightwing said, covering Talia's mouth with his hand. "Not so loud." He then began untying her.

"C'mon we need to go." He said.

"Go where?" It was Bane. "First I kidnap Talia and now I get to destroy you. This is better than I expected." He attempted to punch them but they moved out of the way.

"Okay I have a plan." NW whispered to Talia.

"What is it?" She asked.

Bane charged forward and Nightwing started tussling with him. He jumped on top but Bane knocked him off. Just when it looked like Bane was about to crush Nightwing something stopped him. Talia had used her blade to pierce Bane's venom tube. He soon turned weak again. "Good plan, Boy Wonder."

"It's not Boy Wonder anymore." He said. But Bane wasn't done he pulled out a remote and pressed the self destruct button. He then pressed another button which opened an escape pod. "Farwell you two." Bane said before flying off in the pod.

"What now!?" Talia asked with concern. "Follow me." Nightwing said grabbing Talia's hand. They went out and Nightwing summoned his jet. He and Talia got in and made their escape. The boat blew up.

Soon they were back at the island. Nightwing was escorting Talia home. "Thank you for saving me little birdie."

"Don't mention it." He said.

"I suppose I should give you something." She thought.

"You don't have too." Nightwing said but Talia placed her finger to his lips. "Shh."

"Listen. If you ever tell anyone about this. You're dead Nightwing." Talia said sternly.

"About what?" He asked.

Soon Talia walked up to, wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on the lips. Both took joy in the kiss. Soon they parted.

"Secret's safe with me." He said.

"You know it's still raining. Care to spend the night here?" She asked.

"No problem." The two kissed again before heading inside.
