Outside Titan Tower

10:00 am

Dick is outside over looking the City; it was still daylight and a late morning. He was carrying a lot of guilt; inside his heart. Couldn't help, but let the memories hit him hard in the chest. A bullet pierced his heart and all of the guilt hit him harder in the chest.

Fletcher came outside, walking very slowly. He was looking at the same sigh, that Dick was.

Neither men was saying anything, Fletcher and Dick don't know each other that well. It was very silent between them; who was going to start the conversation first between them. Dick wasn't sure, how to start a conversation cause he don't know him.

Rachel was watching, both of the men outside of the window. She was so very worried about Dick; her heart was broken all over for him. Only this time, she wasn't going to ever leave him again. Her hand was on the window; she was watching him; wondering if he would ever, let go of his self doubt and guilt. He had enough to carry around the rest of his life. But watching him very closely, Dick was looking out at the City. He was looking out there, but what was he seeing. How he had failed her, Garth, Kory, Dawn, Hank and Donna.

Rachel was walking back to her bedroom; she knew Dick needed time to himself. Lay down on her back, picking up the book on her night stand. She was laying her head back against the headboard. She was reading the "Art Of War." She was getting very bored of reading it. She had tears in her eyes; her tears are falling down her face. She wiped underneath her eyes; was wanting to go check on Dick. But he would come to her; when he was ready. She was trying very hard to read, but her eyes were barely staying open. She passed out immediately, laid back against her bed.

Three hours later

Rachel slowly opened her eyes; feeling arms wrapped tightly around her waist. A face was pressed against her hair; she knew whose arms those were. Turning over on her side, the arms tighten around her. Her hands were on his chest, both of them had emotional day. She couldn't help, but lay her ear against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. His heart had always, put her to sleep every night. Her face and ear, were up against his chest. Closing her eyes; so she could a long night of good sleep for the night. Dick was smelling her hair; he was closing his eyes too.

Sometime during the late night

It was 2:40 am

The silent alarm was going off; both of them got up and were getting ready to go out again. Dick saw that another jewel robbery was going down.

Dick had on his NightWing suit, Raven was pulling on her suit. The former Precrime team were up too. But they won't sure, what to do.

NightWing knew it was time to act like a team leader, finally he says. "All you who are going with me and Raven may come. Those of you not ready to go out. Can stay here and wait. Jab I need you to watch the security camera's, so you can watch our backs."

Fletcher, Knott's, Scott and Ramos had decided to go out there with Dick and Rachel.

San Francisco Gold & Pearl Store

NightWing and everyone else, was hiding in the shadows. Raven power's were hiding them from the robberies sight. But now it was time; for them to take down the criminals.

Three hours later

NightWing, Raven and all of the others returned from the robbery.

Scott and Ramos had a few injuries from scratch on the left cheek, bloody nose and a bruise cheek. Fletcher and Knott's had a bloody bottom lip, a bruise left eye and a bruise arm. Dick was just bruise and sore, Rachel was having trouble standing up straight. Rachel was leaning against Dick for support. Scott held her arm and placed it behind the back of her neck. Helping Rachel back inside; after that Fletcher, Knott's, Ramos and Dick went to the medical bay. Evanna and Scott both take Rachel to Dick bedroom. They help her; get out of her suit and into her pajamas. Both helped her get into bed and in seconds she was fast asleep.

Dick had taken off his suit, he was bruised all over his chest. He was cleaning off his chest piece on his suit. He could see that the other four; were in some bad shape, but not life threatening injuries. Fletcher was holding a cloth to his bleeding lip. Ramos had ice bag on his arm; Scott was taking care of Knott's injuries.

Early the next morning

Rachel and Dick saw, that it was still daylight outside. Someone was cooking breakfast; both got up and both of them got out of bed. Dick had a hand on her shoulder. When they had arrived to the kitchen and were surprised that the team were cooking and setting up the table. But they look to be trying to get to know, both of them.

Dick could see everyone was pulling their weight around here. He did missed his old team; but could see that this team. Wasn't trying to win any appreciation or attention from them. Were all working like a team; they had everything under control.

Fletcher was doing scramble and fried eggs, waffles, french toasts, fried potatoes, bacon along with Scott, Evanna, Jab and Knott's. The others were setting up the table and cleaning up the place.

Dick has his arms wrapped tightly around her; his hands are on her shoulders. He kisses the back of her head, she leans against the warmth.

Later on in the night

Rachel and Dick both were laying on the bed together, she was laying her head on his chest. She kissed his hand, listening to his heartbeat.
