I'm back!

The next week or so is going to be a bit hectic, so I'm going to do my best to give you guys a daily dose of this story, but I'm not making any guarantees. Ugh, I hate the last week before school.

We're back to shorter chapters. Oh well. I knew it wasn't going to last. Hopefully it'll get longer next time.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.

Both teams watched from the side as every member of the League who came, minus WonderWoman and Batman, glomped Nightwing simultaneously. Their view of him was almost completely obscured by the adults, but he reemerged soon, laughing. For a while, the roof was full of chatter as each Leaguer greeted Nightwing and they talked about, well, anything. Finally, a lull came in the noise, and Nightwing found himself face to face with Batman. His father.

Silence.

Then…

"...Hi Dad."

Batman just looked at him for a second. Nightwing could just barely make out that there were tears under his cowl. Then Batman moved forward and desperately embraced his son in a huge hug. Batman's cape fell from his shoulders to wrap Nightwing in a sort of double embrace.

Father and son stood like that, arms wrapped around each other, Nightwing resting his head on Batman's chest- he was still shorter than him, damn it- and Batman resting his cheek on his hair. In those few moments, they said everything that needed to be said. Every apology and explanation and forgiveness. When they stood back, there was a new understanding between them. No more fights would be necessary.

Nightwing glanced towards the shore and an odd expression crossed over his face for a microsecond. "Maybe we should head inside." He suggested. "I'll give you the tour."

The Titans started at how much happier he sounded. He seemed freer, with a new sparkle in his eyes and a lightness to his voice. He had really, really missed his family. They nodded and led everyone towards the main room.

Batman hesitated at the door when he saw that Nightwing hadn't moved. He watched as Nightwing took out a tiny tablet from his utility belt and brought up the live security footage from the shore. He zoomed in on a specific person on the shore. Batman frowned. He looked like a normal tourist, looking at the Tower through a telescope. An old man with nothing better to do but play golf.

He only had one eye.

Keeping an eye on the footage, Nightwing deliberately lifted his hand and gave the man the finger. On the tablet, Batman could see the man smirk and give a mocking two fingered salute. Then he packed up his telescope and walked out of view.

Nightwing turned and walked into the Tower without a word. Barman followed after.

Nightwing showed them around the tower, pointing out the rooms and explaining about the layout and other features of the tower. The other Titans chimed in every so often to add something that Nightwing may have missed. They started from the top, the main room, and worked their way down through the bedrooms to the training rooms.

When they got to the training room, Nightwing showed them the equipment they had and explained that they also had an outdoor obstacle course to train with, although it frequently got destroyed. Batman looked around the gym and asked,

"This is the only gym?"

Cyborg nodded. Batman looked at NIghtwing.

"Where is it?"

"Whre is what? Nightwing smirked, using an innocent I don't know what you're talking about voice. He knew exactly what Batman was talking about.

Batman glared good-naturedly at him. "Your secret gym. Where is it?"

The Titans looked at him, surprised. "He doesn't have…" Beast Boy trailed off as Nightwing held up a hand to silence him.

"The entrance is in the basement." He said, shocking the Titans. He smiled ruefully. "Guess it's not so secret anymore. MIght as well show you now."

He led the way to the basement and stopped at an unassuming wall panel. He placed his hand in the center of it, leaving behind a blue handprint when he removed it. Words appeared below it in a language that no one but Batman and Nightwing recognized, and Nightwing said something in what was presumably the same language.

"Security question." He explained.

"What language was that?" Raven asked curiously.

"Not one that you'd recognize. It's not actually a written language." Nightwing said as a door in the wall slid open, revealing an elevator. "Going down." He announced. Everyone piled in after him, not wanting to miss out. Surprisingly, everyone fit comfortably.

The doors slid shut and they were on their way

Sorry it's so short.

You guys better have figured out who the guy on the shore was. Honestly, I wasn't going to include that part, but I figured what the heck? I think it's sort of funny, so why not?

Review!
