The Beginning of What Might Be the End
"Why me?" A boy cries out through the steal hallway in the underground city. "Why me?" Now punching the wall pretty hard. He was about to punch it again, but he felt a hand pulling him back.
"What's wrong?" A girl asks as she removes her hand. She had pale skin and beautiful eyes. Her purple hair stops at her shoulders and she look two years younger than the boy. She wore a dark blue tank top, short pants, a cape and a red chain belt.
"Nightingale..." He turns around and puts his hands on the girl's shoulders. He had bright skin color and his mask covered his eyes. His jet, black hair covers his forehead. He looks to be seventeen. He wore a blue skirt with no sleeves, two wristbands (one with B the other with J), and black pants. "It's nothing."
"Are you sure? Because…" She was cut off.
"Nightingale, Blue Jay!" Nightwing called out.
"Yes, sir," they both said at the same time.
"Ya should be in bed. Ya know the rules."
"I was sleeping, but I hear some noise," Nightingale said. As she said that Blue Jay move his hands behind his back, but Nightwing saw them.
"Oh, I see. Ya need to go back to bed." Nightwing put his hands on their back and move them forward.
"Ok, good night ya." Nightingale walks faster and turns the corner to go to her room.
"Good night," Jay was about to leave, but Nightwing stop him in his track.
"We need to talk," Nightwing said in a guilty voice.
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
"But I do," Jay turns around to face his father.
"What is it?"
"The plan change you are leaving tonight."
"What?" Blue Jay yell out loud.
"I am sorry, but I think it will be better if you leave now."
"For what?" He punches the wall beside him.
"We don't want Slade to get any closer to the city. If he does Trigon will destroy the people who live through the Fire of Hell. We luck that Nightingale's shield works. We need to you to obliterate Raven while you still can."
"Yeah, but Gale and I want to do my birthday celebration. Anyways why do you want to destroy Raven so bad? I thought she was your friend and here…" he was cut off when Nightwing grab him by the throat and pin him against the wall.
"Don't you every say I don't care about her!" You could tell he was angry by looking at him.
"A father should not fight his own son." A voice said. Nightwing lets go of Jay. Then he turns to Starfire with his hands ball up and his head looking down at the floor. Jay stands up after he caught his breath.
"You know what! I will go tonight to prove I'm not a coward like my father," and he walk down the hallway.
"Don't worry Nightwing everything will be alright," Star said while putting her arms around him.
"I know, Star, I know."
"I will make sure of that." A voice said from the shadow.
"Blue Jay!" A girl called out behind her. She had on a red tank top, short pants, and long boots. She had long orange hair that stops at her shoulders.
"Firefly, what is it?" A hit of angry was still in his voice.
"I wanted to give you this," she put a bracelet on him. "It a bracelet from Tamarica (Don't know how to spell it.). It brings good luck where every you may go. Well, that is what mom said. She said you could have her bracelet. Jay, are you not mad that father?" He walks off without saying a word.
"Father," he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and bumped into Honey.
"Ouch, sorry," they both said at the same time.
"Honey, I need you to do me a favor." Jay looks at her.
"What is it?" Honey had dark, brown hair with a puffball on the back of her head. She wore a black and gold side-to-side stripe shirt with no sleeves, black short pants, and regular boots.
"Watch over Nightingale. You the closest person to a friend she has."
"I will. Don't worry about her. Come on you don't want to be late." As they walk down the hall she ball up something in her hand.
When they got there all the members of the Titans, Titans East, and their kids was waiting for Jay to leave. Speedy and the twins was turn to stone.
"Gook luck," Honey kisses Jay on lightly on his lips.
"Thanks," he took a step back while blushing. Honey walks over to her family. While she was walking to her family, Starfire and Firefly walks up to him.
"Oh, Jay we are going to miss you so much," they both said while hugging him tight.
"Yeah, I will miss ya too," he said like he didn't care at the time. He watches as the two back up to his father. When looks at them he thought 'The perfect family.' As he was about to board the time capsule Nightwing stops him.
"Blue Jay about early. I'm…" He was cut off.
"Don't worry about it." Jay continues to walk to the capsule and got everything set up to go.
Cyborg walks to Nightwing." You know Raven was like a little sister to me. This is hard for me."
"I know," Nightwing said in a guilty voice.
After Jay left in the capsule, Honey walks up to Nightwing to give him a note that was in her hand.
"What's this?" He looks at the note then back to her. He could tell she was worry about something.
"I am so sorry," she started to cry, "but I couldn't say no to Nightingale…" Nightwing stop listening to her when she said Nightingale and open the note.
And it reads...
Next Chapter: Blue Jay arrives in the present. Nightwing reads the note and finds out what happen to Nightingale. The Time is Now Here
