I'm so sorry for not updating for so long but exams are coming up and a hectic holiday season. Here is an update for you. I will continue to update from now on.

Last Time…

The Titans looked at Nightwing in confusion. Nightwing looked just as confused.

"Dan," said Sarah. "You've got the wrong one. It's not him. He hates the guy just as much as you."

"What are you talking about?" asked Nightwing.

"Not me?" asked a voice from behind.

All of them turned to see Slade step out of the shadows.

"Sorry for dropping in, but I can't have you living while your parents are dead," he said.

Then he lunged.

A Gaze into his Past

"My name is Dan. In every story there's a beginning, a middle and an end. Mine doesn't have an end yet, but it doesn't have a middle either, and it won't ever have a middle. Someone took that away from me. That someone is Slade."

"You see when I was six my parents used to home school me. They'd teach me all the stuff I would have learned at regular school. They told me it was because I was special and that all the other kids would be jealous of me for my smartness. The real reason was because they knew of my abnormality, my ability to make shadows do what I wanted them to do. They only allowed their closest friends to know about my abilities. One of them was Slade."

"He was like an uncle to me, until one night when I was about ten, he came over late at night, looking for my mom. She walked towards him, cause he looked really hurt when he suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at her. He shouted at her and when she refused, he shot her in the head. I was in the same room, watching, when he did it. Then my dad burst around the corner and was instantly shot as well.

"At this time shadows were already forming around him and blocking his view of me. He shot and I felt pain beyond anything I'd ever felt before. He laughed as he saw me collapse. Then he turned and left."

"The shadows weren't about to let me die so they quickly formed around me and saved my life. I watched the police, take my parents bodies away and try to help me. The shadows wouldn't let them near me. Now the Shadows have become my loyal friends, they're there to listen to me when I need it, to comfort me when I'm sad, or help calm me down when I'm angry."

"Seeing him once again, insulting my parents, infuriates me and the Shadows. They are my friends, they are my family, they will protect me and they will be with me for ever and for always."

"I feel like my heart has grown an emotion of it's own, like it to wants to detach itself from me and take revenge on the man who ruined my life, and stole my parents from me. The man who took my life into his own hands and tried to determine my fate, my destiny, my death. It only goes to show, criminals make stupid mistakes to."

Nightwing quickly leaped into action and grabbed Dan around the waist shoving him to the ground. Slade flew over them getting slammed in the face by Cyborg. Starfire flew up into the air and started to throw Starbolts at him while Raven summoned demons from hell. Slade quickly recovered and grabbed Raven by the throat and slammed her into the ground, belly first. Nightwing grabbed Slade by the back of the neck and threw him into the air. He jumped up and sent his foot slamming onto Slade's stomach. Slade fell and started to pant a little.

"So Robin, you think you can stop me?" he asked. "Maybe you should check on your wife."

Nightwing looked over at Raven and suddenly was sent flying into the nearest building. Changeling turned into a T-Rex and stomped after Slade, Slade running as fast as he could. Finally Changeling brought his head down and snapped at Slade. Slade dodged the attack and went to throw a bomb at Changeling, when suddenly a very small X appeared under him and then suddenly it blasted him. Feeling his body tense up he knew the device had paralyzed him. Then a figure came out. It was Red X.

"Slade," he hissed. "You are going to pay for what you have done to that boy."

"Who's gonna stop me?" he asked, amused. "You?"

"Oh no," said Dan walking towards him. "That's going to be my pleasure."

Slade's face might have been covered but anyone could notice the fear coming from him. Dan approached Slade, and as he walked it seemed that a black shadow rose out of the ground and started to follow him. When he reached Slade's side about twenty shadows had arisen.

"I'm not afraid of some stupid shadows," he said, now sounding scared.

"Oh don't worry, when I'm done, actually, when their done with you, you will be," he hissed. "Shadows just one minute."

The shadows had been creeping slightly towards Slade, but when ordered to wait they stepped back. Dan bent down and whispered into Slade's ear,

"This is for my mother."

He slammed his fist down on Slade's head. Slade screamed in pain. Dan's fist was now glowing a very, very dark ebony colour.

"This is for my father," he whispered, sending his foot onto Slade's stomach and slamming his fist onto Slade face again.

Slade roared in pain and fear. Raven could smell the fear coming off of him.

"This is for me," he whispered, sending his fist into Slade's face again, and then bringing his foot down onto Slade's private area.

Slade couldn't move but his screams were more than enough satisfaction for Dan. Slade had tears stinging his eyes, and pain was shooting through his body.

"This is for the pain you caused me, the family you took from me, the grandparents that my hopeful future children would have had, and the pain that you've now caused them," he whispered, sending his fists onto Slade's face, stomach and then kicking him in the face and privates again.

Slade cried out in pain and started to moan as he felt the pain shooting through him again. Dan got up and started to walk away, but then stopped and said,

"Ok shadows, he's all yours."

His screams where the last thing anyone heard from him again. Dan walked up to Nightwing and held out his hand.

"I'm sorry for accusing you of being Slade," he apologized.

"It's ok," said Nightwing, shaking Dan's hand.

Two months later…

Raven was inside a hospital room, getting herself ready to give birth. She knew that her twins were on their way.

"Raven, do you want anyone in here with you while you give birth?" asked a nurse.

"Yes, the Teen Titans are outside the door, let them in," she asked.

The nurse opened the door and let the Titans in. Nightwing was at her side instantly.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"Yes, just getting ready," she smiled.

"When will the little Raven and Nightwing be here?" asked Starfire to the nurse.

Cyborg, Terra and Changeling choked on their drinks.

"Well, well, well looks as if someone forgot to tell me about something again?" said Ororo from the door.

Raven smiled and said,

"Got my message then?"

"Yes I did," she said. "I'll wait out here."
"What? No get in here you're a Titan as well," said Nightwing.

Storm smiled, walked into the room and shut the door behind her.

Two hours later…

Two very small children lay in Ravens arms. A baby boy and a baby girl. Raven was sleeping, the birth had taken a lot out of her, and Starfire, Changeling, and Terra had gone back to the Tower. Nightwing took his children from Raven and held them in his own arms.

"There so small," he said.

"I know. I can't believe you're actually letting us be their uncles and aunts," said Cyborg.

"Cy, who else would we choose? You're our family," said Nightwing.

Storm opened the door quietly and then closed it behind her.

"Here," said Storm, handing him a cup of coffee.

"Thanks, I need this," he said, gulping it.

"So have you decided on the names yet?" she asked.

"No, Raven said I could name the boy, but she gets to name the girl," he said.

"Oh I guess that alright," said Storm.

"Yeah," said Cy. "Well I'm going back to the Tower for the night."

"Yeah I better get back to the Mansion," said Storm.

"Mansion?" asked Nightwing.

"I'm part of the X-Men now," she answered. "It's for people like me, mutants."

Nightwing smiled as they both left. He looked down at his children, and saw himself in each one. He felt so young but so old at the same time. The little boy started to stir and finally opened his eyes. The girl was still sound asleep. Nightwing looked at his son and almost cried.

"Hello Daddy," said someone.

Nightwing looked around and saw no one. He looked back at his son and saw a small but visible aura shining in his eyes. He smiled knowing that his son had mistakenly used the powers he had inherited from Raven.

"Hello," he whispered back. "I think I'll call you, Jonathon."

Allrighty, here's your new chapter. Now I have to study for exams for the next two weeks and get the ISU's done (Their worth ten percent of my final mark). I might update sometime soon or not. Please R&R and I'll try to update.
