Disclaimer: I do not own DC Comics, the Young Justice Tv show, the Dark Knight trilogy, or any DC properties.
I wish but no. The first thing I would do if I owned YJ would be season three but whatever that hole in my heart will never be fixed. Damn you Cartoon Network. But what I do own is a really cool Funko Pop that is the Batman but dressed like the Joker. Pretty cool I tell you.
Chapter 2
Dick POV
I just came back from Vietnamese class and went back to the dorm to take a nap. I saw Artemis in the kitchen eating so cereal and milk. I walk over there and said
"Just woke up"
"Yep, I decided to not take morning classes on Monday, so I can get my beauty sleep" She responded
"Yeah I can see" she chucked after I said that.
Then both our phones got a text. I took out my phone and laughed pretending that I got a text from a friend. She looked worried when she looked at her phone.
"I got to go I have work to do, sorry I'll see you soon though" She said leaving
"You won't believe how soon" I thought
I pretended to get a text from a friend because I didn't want Artemis knowing my identity just yet. The real text was that Gorilla Grodd is terrorizing Gotham and causing mayhem. So I went to my room. In everyone's room in the corner was a personal zeta tube that can only go to the cave and back. You were supposed to put your hand on the wall and it would read your hand and fingerprints and then zeta you to the cave. I changed my clothes and put on my dark sunglasses. I put my hand on the wall and zeta'd to the cave. When I got there Artemis was already suited up and so was M'gann, Connor and Kaldur. I quickly went and changed. Then when everyone got here I called for a mission briefing.
"OK guys we are needed in Gotham, Gorilla Grodd, is terrorizing the city and we need to stop him." I announced.
"Ok let's go" Wally said excitedly
We used a zeta to the Gotham weapons cache and got on our bikes except for Wally who ran, and went towards Gotham.
Artemis comes closer to me when we are on the road and asks through the com. "Hey where were you we missed you last night."
"Yeah, I got assigned to another floor and it took a while for me to unpack." I lied
"Yeah the whole team is together except for you." She said sadly
"Yeah it sucks" I said
All of a sudden we then hear an explosion coming from Gotham.
"TEAM QUICKLY LETS GO" I yell
We arrive there to see Grodd marching the streets with his gorilla army. Then we see that he has a blaster of some sorts he then fires it at a civilian and we see them turn it a gorilla.
"Team, we have to disable his weapon and his telepathic crown. Lets go 123 ATTACK" I scream.
Wally sprints towards Grodd trying to take off his helmet but he rams into a force field. "AHHHH" he screams.
"WALLY" Zatanna screams as she rushes over to him.
"I'm alright just help the people." He says
"Zatanna, M'gann, Aqualad, and Superboy go help the citizens, Artemis, Batgirl, and I will get Grodd." I say to the team.
"Roger" said Barbara
Kaldur was taking water from the sewer and created water cages and M'gann and Superboy were putting the gorillas in cages and then Zatanna was changing the gorillas back into humans and then safely getting them back to their homes. At the same time Artemis, Babs, Wally, and I were thinking about a plan. Then I hit me we electrocute the helmet with enough energy to break it. We can direct the city's energy to hit him and disable both the blaster and helmet.
"Artemis, when I say so I need you to shoot enough explosive arrows to give Wally a small entrance throw something." I said
"Got it, boss" She said.
"Batgirl give me your EMP bomb" I said
"Here"
"Wally, when you get the opening I need you to throw these inside of Grodd's force field." I told him as he ran off
"Ok Batgirl we need to get in to the city's mainframe to direct the electricity towards the EMP's, OK everybody in position now." I yelled
We got the electricity and started to create a beam to direct towards Grodd.
"Artemis create the opening"
"Got it"
"Wally throw them in there"
"Got it Nightwing"
The beam started to go towards Grodd but then swerved and hit Artemis and quickly got there. NO ARTEMIS. STAY WITH ME. I held up my eskrima sticks and directed the energy towards them and then with my other stick I directed it towards Grodd. It worked and he was completely open and then I see Superboy go and punch Grodd in the face.
"Dick are you alright" Wally said coming over to me
"Yeah" I lied "We need to get Artemis to the med bay, she's unconscious"
I took Artemis and rode back to the zeta and then told Wally to take my bike back. I then went to the cave and met Batman and Black Canary there.
"We need to get to the med bay now" I say before sprinting there.
I put Artemis down on the bed, but then the next thing I remember is darkness.
I woke up, and found out that I am in the med bay. I look around and see Artemis in the bed next to me.
"Hey, Artemis are you awake" I croak
"Yeah, how are you" she replied
"I'm good you"
"Yeah I think just a concussion"
"That's better than a coma" I say
"Yeah I guess"
Batman comes in and says "You guys are good to go, I'm giving both of you three days off training and missions."
"Thanks, Bats, I think I can use a break, come on Nightwing let's go get dinner in the dining hall" Artemis says
"Ok, Artemis just wait for me outside I'll be there." I say walking towards Batman
"Hey Bats I was wondering if it's ok if I tell Artemis my secret identity, I owe it to her." I ask
"Yeah, go ahead, I see the way you look at her anyway." He says smiling
"No no there isn't anything with me and Artemis" I say quickly
"OK OK if you say so" he says laughing
Then I go outside and see Artemis outside in civvies waiting for me.
"Hey, I'm hungry let's go" She says
"Hey well you know how I said that I was on a different floor than you and Wally, I lied" I say walking towards
"Wait what do you mean" she says puzzled
"This is what I mean" I say pulling off my mask
"Dick" she gasps.
She then punches me in the gut and then hugs me
"Ouch what was that for" I say in pain
"For not telling me all these years"
"Then what is this hug for" I say with a smirk on my face
"Because I missed you, I realized that I wanted to be back on the team and you were the one to accept my back and I missed have Dick in my life as well and Nightwing. Now it's a two in one package." She says
"Ok then let's go to dinner" I say with a smile
We then go to dinner in the dining hall at GU. We go there and realize that Mondays are Salad nights and since neither of us were feeling a salad right now we groan as soon as we saw it.
"Hey I know of a really good burger place near here let's go" I say leaving the building
"that sounds good" She says following me
We go and get my motorcycle from the garage and take it and go to the place. It's called Tony's Burgers and Shakes. We sit down and we order and burger and a shake each. The food comes and we start eating.
"Oh my god this is great so much better than a salad" she says after she took a bite "How did you find this place anyway"
"I used to come here with my parents when we had shows in Gotham you know before they—" I say before Tony the owner comes up to me.
"Little Dickie oh my god it's you it's been a while wow you gotten so much bigger and taller, exactly like John." He says with tears in his eyes.
"Tony is good to see you again" I say standing up and holding my hand up
He shakes my hand and "says who's the pretty misses here"
"Artemis nice to meet you I'm a friend of Dick's" she says holding out her hand
"Tony nice to meet you too." He says "Well I got to go, Dick they would be proud of you I hope you know that, well I hope to see you two again." With that he left to go back to the kitchen.
Everyone was sitting by the couches near the kitchen we joined them.
"hey where were you guys" Zatanna says when she sees us
"Oh we saw that dinner sucked so we went to a burger place that Dick knew about" Artemis said to her
"We were about to decide which movie to watch, The Dark Knight Rises or Man of Steel." She asked
"The Dark Knight Rises" Artemis and I say at the same time
"ok I guess you two will have to sit on the floor sorry because there isn't any room here" she said
"no prob lets watch in my room, Wally and I set up a really cool sitting area for this purpose." I say
"Oh yeah totally forgot" Wally says
"Before we go I want to say something, my name is Dick Grayson as you know but also you guys know me as another person too. I am also Nightwing leader of the Young Justice team." I say to them
Wally, Babs, and Kaldur already know so Zatanna, Superboy, and M'gann came up to me and each punched me.
"What's the punches today" I say laughing
We all go to my room and watch The Dark Knight Rises, in the middle of the movie Artemis was next to me sleeping with her head on my shoulder.
"I'm going to drop her off" I say picking her up and taking her next door.
I lay her down in her bed and tuck her in.
"Dick, I have fun with you today" Artemis whispers
I move the hair from her face and say "Me too"
Then we both move our heads closer and meet in the middle with our lips. We pull apart and look at each other.
"I've wanted to do that since 7th grade" I say panting
"Good night boy wonder" she says
Then I leave with the signature cackle
"oh not that again" she says as I leave.
I open the door and gently close it and then go into my room and see all of them with their ears pressed to the door.
"Whoa what do you guys want" I say blushing
"oooo, Dickie's got a girlfriend" Wally mocks
We all laugh, After the movie we all went back to our rooms and went to bed to get ready for our second academic day here at Gotham university
Hey guys hope you liked, yeah Traught this early. I couldn't wait. See you later
