The sun was just beginning to set under the thin gray clouds that had covered the sky and brought rain all day long. Jennifer sat on the windowsill watching the rain solemnly. Stephanie walked into the living room and up to Jennifer resting her hand on her shoulder.

 "You could always go visit him." She said sitting down beside her.

Jennifer shrugged her eyes never leaving the window, "Maybe." She whispered sighing softly.

 After a moment Stephanie pulled out a rolled up magazine from her pocket and handed it to Jennifer, "I picked something up for you at the store." She smiled knowingly and retreated from the room before Jennifer had a chance to even thank her.

Unrolling the magazine, Jennifer found that it was a new Batman comic book, "You sneaky little…" She laughed shaking her head.

 Carefully, she pulled open the cover and stared down at a picture of a man dressed in some kind of black costume. The caption at the bottom read, 'Who is this masked man? Could he be a new hero, or a new foe? And what does he have to do with Batman? Find out inside!!'

 Jennifer touched the picture and laughed lightly, "Got ya into it too, huh?" She whispered flipping the page to a panel of drawings of a dark city.

Bruce… err… Batman was perched on top of the edge of a building looking over the city of Gotham.

 "Any luck Nightwing?" He asked as he leapt from the ledge and swung over to the next building.

The next panel was of Nightwing speeding down the street on his motorcycle, "Not yet, maybe he just went back to Bayville?"

  "Not likely, he wouldn't without telling me or Virginia first."

Jennifer could just hear Batman's voice in her head as she read; he had to be really worried to be searching for Dawson. She turned the page wondering how long he had been missing for.

 "What ch'ya readin' there kid?" Logan grunted looking over Jennifer's shoulder at the comic book.

Jennifer startled slightly having not heard Logan enter the room, Logan smirked cockily and she rolled her eyes, "Dawson's missing," She said moving over so Logan could sit,
"Bruce and Dick are out looking for him."

Logan's eyes ran over the page, "How long?"

 "It hasn't said yet," Jennifer shrugged flipping the page, "Wait… I think that's him. He was on the front page too." She flipped back to the picture of the man in black then back to the page she was on.

Logan furrowed his eyebrows, "Kinda looks like 'im. What's he up too?" 

 The man in black jumped off the roof of a car onto Nightwing knocking him from the motorcycle. The two quickly jumped to their feet once they stopped skidding across the pavement.

 "Who the hell are you?" Nightwing hissed wiping away the trail of blood leaking out from his lip.

Jennifer shook her head, "That's not Dawson. It can't be." She turned the page.

The man in black smirked, "Don't recognize me Dick?"

 "What the hell?" Logan snorted, "What's gotten into 'im?" He growled his eyes scanning over the pictures of the fight happening between Nightwing and Dawson.

 Nightwing climbed to his feet nursing a bloody nose, "Logan teach you to fight?"

Not replying, Dawson lunged at Nightwing a knife drawn from his pocket and aimed for his heart. A figure cloaked in black tackled Dawson in the air and the two fell to the ground. Jennifer turned the page both her and Logan slightly on edge and confused beyond reasoning. Batman sat on top of Dawson's chest holding his arms up over his head.

 "Let go of the knife, Dawson."

  "That's it," Jennifer swallowed staring down at the picture with wide eyes, "It really is him."

Logan grabbed the book from her hands, "That can't be the end! What the hell's going on?!" He growled throwing the book to the ground.
