So now I simple say I hope you like it and here's chapter sixteen of Teen Titan Pregnancies.
Chapter 16: Batman VS Nightwing
The Team stood shocked as they watched there leader and friend enter the sparing ring in his new suit. They had always known there leader as Robin, they didn't even know his real name to fall back on always assuming it to be Robin. Starfire was the most shocked of the team seeing the man she loved in a whole new light scared her a bit. She had seen A Nightwing before but this was completely different, this was her Nightwing.
The Queen was more curious then shocked wondering if this was some Earth custom. The King though was the most shocked his mouth open as he looked at the new Nightwing. He was suppose to start the fight but he was to rapped up in trying to figure out what this meant to remember. Batman oddly enough showed no change in expression, but for a spilt second he smiled just a little bit.
"So what do you think?" Nightwing asked his former mentor with a slight smirk.
"I guess I'm going to need to find a new Robin," Batman said with remorse that he didn't care to hide, "it's a pity, you were a good partner."
"Well I cant be a sidekick any more, I have to be a man as you put it," Robin said, he was itching for a fight now wanting to settle the spat he had earlier with his former mentor right now.
"Then I guess we can start the fight," Batman said the remorse leaving his voice. He respected his former sidekick for the ability to leave his side but he wasn't one hundred percent sure of what he had come to prove, not yet. "No armour, weapons or utility belts," Batman said as he took off his utility belt and threw it to one side.
"Deal," Nightwing said as he too throw his utility belt to the side and then undid two clasps that held his chest plate on. "Now are you going to start this thing or what?" Nightwing asked The King who still stood with the shocked look on his face as he leaned forward to examine the new costume.
"Oh, yes," The King said as he cleared his throat and straitened up before declaring, "let round one begin."
Everyone leaned in in anticipation for the fight to begin including The King who once again lost his demeanour in hope of Nightwing losing, but nothing happened. Both Batman and Nightwing never moved from there places opposite one another in the ring. They never even took an attack stance, all they did was stand there with there arms at there sides for at least a very long five minutes. But then to everyone's relief Batman began to move around the ring with Nightwing circling opposite him.
"So, Nightwing?" Batman asked as he continued circling, "how did you come up with that name?"
"I guess I just thought it sounded cool," Nightwing said as he never lost eye contact with Batman, knowing his style far to well.
"Fare enough," Batman said as he stopped circling and Nightwing stopped instantly as well, he knew what was coming. Both ran at each other at full speed ready to throw there first punches and begin the fight. Nightwing was the first to attack with a high kick that Batman easily blocked and then countered with a punch that Nightwing just narrowly dodged. Nightwing then threw one of his own punches that grazed Batman's chin just slightly. This went on for another ten minutes each one never hitting the other more then a little bit.
Nightwing did a back flip and Batman easily avoided his foot as it soared past his face, "This isn't going as fast as I thought it would," he panted. He was already tired from the fight and it was getting harder to throw and block punches.
"Then maybe you should hurry up," Batman said in his monotone voice. He didn't sound nearly as tired as Nightwing but Nightwing knew that he was if not more, he was just better at hiding it.
"Maybe I will," Nightwing said through clenched teeth as he ran forward at full speed towards the unmoving Batman. Nightwing threw a punch that Batman easily blocked and then countered with a high kick that connected with Nightwing's jaw and sent him flying back. He hit the ring floor hard but had to instantly recover before Batman could make his next move. Nightwing kicked off the ground and landed on his feet as he took an attack stance.
"Robin, you cant win," Batman said as he once again stood opposite Nightwing with his hands at his side.
"My name is Nightwing!" he shouted as he ran with a fist raised at Batman. He swung his fist and Batman easily ducked to avoid it. He then pounded his palms into Nightwing's stomach which sent him back. Batman stood as Nightwing recoiled grabbing his stomach and then Batman sent a chop that connected with Nightwing's left arm causing him to once again recoil in pain. Batman finished it by sending a high kick that connected with Nightwing's forehead sending him once again to the ring floor.
"Sorry, Robin," Batman said as he stood above Nightwing who was beginning to lose consciousness.
He got out, "it's Nightwin-" before he lost consciousness and every thing went black. He woke up in a chair with a cold cloth on his head and his friends around him. His hearing hadn't fully come back yet a sign he knew meant he may have a concussion as he watched Beast Boy and Cyborg try to say something to him. Raven was healing the large bruise on his forehead and Starfire was close to his face trying to see if he was ok and getting in Raven's way. "Starfire?" Nightwing said as the world came back in full.
"Robin…Nightwing are you well," Starfire said franticly as she looked in her fiancée's eyes.
"Star I'm fine," Nightwing said as he began to stand. The whole team attempted to sit him back down as he was wobbling a bit just standing.
"You are in no condition to continue," Starfire said as she sat him back down.
"Yeah you took a pretty hard fall back there," Cyborg said as he began to do a diagnostics check through his arm.
"Are you saying that he forfeits the next round," The King said with a sinister smile knowing that if Nightwing forfeited the next round that would be two out of three wins. That would mean that Batman would win but more importantly Nightwing would lose.
"I refuse to forfeit," Nightwing said as he pushed past his friends and fiancé. Nightwing looked back at Starfire with a look that she knew well and said, "I refuse." Starfire nodded as she went and stood over by her mother to watch the second round.
"Then begin round two," The King said as he silently began to rout for Batman to win so that he could leave this planet behind along with Nightwing.
"Are you sure your ready to fight again?" Batman asked as Nightwing wobbled into the ring.
"Absolutely," Nightwing said as he shook himself out of it and took an attack stance, "why, afraid I might win?"
"I'm afraid you wont be fighting at your full," Batman answered but Nightwing didn't listen instead just running at Batman and engaging him. Nightwing threw punch after punch at Batman who easily blocked every one. Nightwing continued to throw more punches getting angrier as Batman began to block all his attacks with an arm behind his back and no emotion on his face. "You have to focus or you'll start to lose any ability you have," Batman said as he ducked under a roundhouse kick.
"Stop talking," Nightwing said as Batman threw his first punch in the whole round and that connected squarely with Nightwing's jaw and sent him back a few steps. It was then that Nightwing took his former mentor's advise and calmed down as he began to fight again. This time it only took a second of Batman's one arm blocking before Nightwing landed a blow to Batman's jaw.
"Better," Batman said as he cracked his jaw back in place. He then did a roundhouse kick to Nightwing's head which he easily blocked using both his hands. "But not good enough," Batman finished as he sent his other leg at Nightwing and connected with the side of his face sending him to the ground. Batman did a turn flip in the air and was able to land on his feet as Nightwing hit the ground.
Nightwing looked on from the ground where he had landed on his back as Batman walked up to him. Nightwing attempted to kick the feet out from under Batman but he easily jumped over his leg. Nightwing made up for this though by spinning his entire body so that Batman jumped over his first leg but was clipped by his second leg that sent him face first into the ground.
Nightwing kicked up off the ground and landed on his feet as Batman rolled over and got off the ground the same way Nightwing had. "Your doing better but you need to focus your attacks," Batman said as he continued to treat the second round like a final lesion with his former partner.
Nightwing sent a kick at Batman's head and he blocked it with one of his hands, "Thanks for the lesion." Nightwing said as he did the exact same move as Batman had done earlier. He sent his other leg at Batman and knocked him to the ground as he did a flip and landed on his feet. Unlike before Batman landed face first and his head hit the floor hard. Nightwing squatted down next to Batman's head as he watched him lose consciousness in the quick second round that Batman had secretly given to Nightwing to continue testing what he had come to learn.
Batman awoke a few minutes later to The King yelling right at his face, "what are you doing! Your suppose to win!" The King hadn't even bother to move Batman into a chair and in fact he still lay on the ring floor.
Batman pushed The King out of his way as he stood in the ring and looked across at Nightwing who appeared to be in much better condition then himself. "Are you sure your ready to fight, old man," Nightwing said in a cocky manner. Batman didn't listen as he just put up his fist like in a boxing match.
Nightwing frowned but walked up to his mentor and swung his fist at him. Batman easily ducked under and punched him in the stomach. Nightwing recoiled before making a slight growling noise before running back and sending his fist at Batman's head. Batman just dodged both punches before punching Nightwing square in the jaw. Nightwing again sent a fury of punches and kicks but each one was dodged until Batman once again ducked and punched his rib and then followed it up with an uppercut that sent Nightwing to the ground.
Nightwing got up off the ground and shock himself off as Batman began to approach him. Nightwing quickly engaged in a series of punches and kicks. This was much worse then the first round as Nightwing was failing and getting hit by more attacks then he was even throwing. Nightwing tried to flip out like he had done earlier but this time Batman grabbed his leg and slammed him into the ring floor.
Nightwing tried to get up but Batman was too fast and quickly laid a blow to Nightwing's side sending him spinning into the air. Nightwing landed on his left side, his arm breaking his fall. He moaned as he pushed up off the ground. He stood wobbly with his left arm hanging limply.
"I've re-dislocated your arm, I've broken two of you ribs not to mention that black eye forming under your mask," Batman said as he watched with unseen remorse for his former ally. "Why do you keep fighting?" this was the question Batman had come to get an answer to in the first place.
"Because," Nightwing panted as he once again ran at Batman and began throwing punches even swinging his limp arm at him. Batman quickly ended this encounter with a kick to Nightwing's chest that sent him stumbling back.
"Why?" Batman asked louder this time. He thought he knew the answer but he needed to know for sure.
"I wont fail Starfire," Nightwing panted, "I wont let them take her or my child away. I love her and nothing can stop me from making sure she stays here with me. I'd do anything for her and I'll do anything for that child. If that means fighting to the end then I will."
Batman smiled slightly as he dropped his arms to his side, "I forfeit. You win…Nightwing."
He didn't believe it at first, that is until his friends swarmed him with congratulations. Raven began to heal the wounds she could as Beast Boy and Cyborg began to go on about the highlights of the three fights. Beast Boy was even acting some of them out the best he could. But Nightwing didn't see any of them all he saw was Starfire with her arms around him as she cried tears of joy into his chest.
The King didn't believe it ether and he wouldn't believe it. He quickly pushed the team out of the way and pried his daughter off Nightwing. He grabbed his neck and slammed him into the wall holding him a few feet off the ground. "You cant win! I wont let you win!" The King said as furry took over. "I don't care if you won I'll take my daughter away anyway and there is nothing you can do about it-." The King said but was cut off as he lost grip on Nightwing's neck and fell backwards to the ground.
Nightwing looked up as he rubbed his throat to see his saver, The Queen, still holding the chair she had used to knock out her husband. "I am sorry about that," The Queen said as she dropped the chair, "could you help me," she said looking over at Cyborg. Cyborg looked around himself before shrugging and grabbing one of The King's leg as The Queen grabbed the other and dragged him out of the room.
"Oh Nightwing," Starfire said as she once again ran to Nightwing and embraced him.
"Um Beast Boy maybe we should give them some time alone," Raven said as she looked over at Nightwing and Starfire.
"Oh yeah sure," Beast Boy said as he looked at Nightwing as he hugged Starfire and smiled down at her stomach as he rubbed it. "Lets go see how The King's doing," Beast Boy finished as he and Raven left the room.
Nightwing and Starfire didn't even notice they had left in fact they didn't even know they were there to begin with. They were too rapped up in themselves and there love for each other. They were truly happy for the first time in months and they planed to be that way for the rest of there life. Nothing was every going to get in there way again. Now all that was left, not just for Starfire but Raven was to finally have there babies.
