IMPORTANT AS IN READ THIS BEFORE READING THE STORY

Note to readers: This oneshot is not connected so therefore has nothing to do with the first other than its RxR. This is a mix of both comic and TV. In the comic Raven is brought back to life from her soul self after defeating her father by Brother Blood to be his wife (I think) The point is that raven has a different body and looks younger (17-18) even though she is mentally around Nightwing's age (25-26). The story is slightly AU because Richard never asks Star to marry him, but Star does leave to her home planet. I'm not sure in the comics if she looks the same as she once did or not but in this oneshot she looks like the T.V. version but with darker longer hair and a little more of a mature body. Nightwing looks nothing like the TT version of him but more like the comic.

Death

He stood there on the roof a shell of the person he once was. He had already lost his parents long ago and had overcome it. He had lost close friends and had overcome. Now he had lost his second father. Bruce was gone and he didn't think he could pull himself out of the darkness in his heart.

She stood there on the same roof with a new body but the same soul. She hadn't seen him in so long. She had defeated most of her demons but there was still darkness in her heart that would never leave. She didn't know what she could do to help him as he had helped her so long ago with her father. She didn't know if he would accept her willing to help him after all these years.

Walking over to him without making a sound she placed herself in front of him. Looking up without saying a word she met his eyes.

Neither noticed the rain that began to fall lightly around them. A dull roar of thunder sounded in the background.

"Richard...I…" she stutter softly trying to find the right words.

He looked back down at her. He didn't understand why she had come to see him. No one knew of Bruce's death yet so why was she standing there. He saw a look of resignation flash across her lovely violet eyes. Suddenly he found himself embraced by two slender arms as she stood on the tips of her toes. He tensed realizing she knew, but relaxed and accepted this one comfort willingly.

She felt him tense under her arms and worried that she had messed up her chance of helping him. Feeling him relax she let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. She felt strong muscular arms hesitantly wrap around her waist.

Giving into the temptation he let his head rest in the crook of her neck. He tightened his arms around her and finally cried the tears he had been denying for the past sixteen hours.

Rocking him gently she whispered soothing words into his ear. They stayed like that for over an hour letting the rain pelt down on them as a storm moved in.

When he was spent of tears he lifted his head up from her neck. Lightning danced across the sky all around them illuminating her familiar features. He noticed they were both soaked through. Her white cloak hung limply over shoulders and her white body suit underneath was near see-through.

"Your soaked." He said simply as if it explained everything.

To be continued if readers want this to be continued. I had a whole page and more written after "Your soaked," but I could never get the ending right. So that is the delay and why it is short- very short. I WILL continue to finish this one if readers like it enough so review your opinion.
