Robin was left speechless at Wally's horrifying tale of the future.

"-and that's when you showed up!" Wally concluded.

Robin took a moment to absorb the information he had heard before responding.

"So, what now?" he asked.

"Now we keep you safe, if you get hurt or killed…" Wally left the rest to Robin's imagination.

"So, everyone's dead?" Robin whispered.

"Were not sure, you and I had been looking for survivors for awhile but we never found any so we assumed they were gone" Wally replied solemnly.

"And Batman is now possessed by Braniac" Robin's voice quivered as he spoke.

Wally looked at his friend sympathetically and attempted to comfort him.

"You shouldn't worry, if you succeed in the past, this future can be fixed." Robin looked up to him hopefully; Wally smiled encouragingly and made his way over to a large vault on the opposite wall.

"You must be hungry from all the excitement today. This future may be low on a lot of things, but food isn't one of them."

Connor had been fast asleep when he wake up, he looked around trying to find out what had woke him up but found nothing.

Then he heard it again, a grunt, there was someone in the mountain.

He sprung up from his bed and checked him alarm clock, it was six in the morning, who would break in at this time?

He followed the sound to the training area where they keep all the exercise equipment, why would they be there?

Connor stopped for a moment outside the door and listened once more, there was definitely someone there.

He tore around the corner, and tackled the intruder to the ground.

"Whoa! Connor, chill out its me!" the man said, Connor took another look and realized that it was Nightwing; he had changed from his costume into a black t-shirt, jeans, and his infamous sunglasses.

Connor awkwardly apologized and let him up.

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first" he mumbled.

Nightwing nodded understandingly and sighed.

"Your still getting used to having me around" it wasn't a question, but Connors nodded anyways.

"It's just so weird, I still can't grasp the fact that you're him" Connor said openly.

"Our Robin was short, goofy, and immature. You're almost the exact opposite, what happened?" Nightwing bowed his head and sighed again.

"When I learned that Batman had been possessed by Braniac, I panicked. I was in denial of the facts, I went looking for him only to find an empty shell of the man I once called my mentor" once he said this, Nightwing absentmindedly touched the right side of his neck. Connor noticed a long scar there that ran from behind his earlobe almost to his jugular.

"Did he give you that?" Connor immediately regretted asking when he saw the sadness on his friends face.

He nodded.

"Braniac was going to kill me, but Batman used his last amount of control to get me away, he lost himself to save me" he whispered.

"After that I faced reality, I had no one left, and it was time to grow up. Once he killed off the justice league, I was determined to stop him…no matter what the cost" Connor's eyes widened, how could one person go through so much?

He sniffed the air before looking at Nightwing and giving him a half hearted smile.

"Smells like Megan is making breakfast, hungry?" Nightwing nodded and they left to go make sure the Martian didn't burn down the mountain.

Once they left, a large bright orb began to form in the middle of the room. Out of the orb stepped a tall man wearing a silver batman costume with yellow eyes and on his forehead were three circles arranged into a triangular form.

His voice was monotoned and mechanical.

"Just like before, this world will fall"
