Nightwing walked up to the large metal door that stood between them and their greatest challenge yet, he looked over at Conner and gave him a subtle nod. The super teen took the hint and charged at the door, easily knocking it to the ground with a loud thud.

The scene before them was nothing like what they had expected the eyes of many team members widened while others narrowed dangerously.

There was electricity running along the walls flashing in blue sparks of light as it skipped across the many computer panels that lined the walls, thick wires covered the floor and gathered in the center of the room where a familiar figure stood, the wires and chords seeming to sprout from his back.

"Batman…" whispered the young robin.

"No, look closer" his older counterpart murmured.

Robin did so and saw that his skin was much paler than his Batman's, it even had a silver tint to it in the light. He also noted that his future mentor's features held no emotion whatsoever, most people wouldn't see the difference, but he knew what to look for. There was no irritated twitch of his cheek, no amused upward pull of his lips; even his usual stern narrowed eyes were blank as they stared down at the team.

The entire team was stunned, they were so used to batman being in control of situations, and he was always their saving grace in life threating situations. It was ironic really; one of the original 7 without powers was the most dangerous, and now the most feared.

"Cut the wires on his back, it'll take down his defenses, but do it from a distance, he has an electric field around him" Nightwing commanded through the mind link, the team nodded in response and charged forward.

With each attack the team launched, their enemy simply deflected it like it was nothing. They were all starting to get frustrated until Artemis managed to land an electrical shock arrow at the base of his spine where most of the cables met.

As the electricity stunned his body making him more sluggish than before the team took that as their cue to attack, landing one blow after another while Nightwing crept up unnoticed. As soon as he got the opportunity, he reached out and grasped the cables tightly, ready to pull the plug.

As soon as Flash saw this, the lenses of his cowl widened.

"Nightwing! Don't!" but he was too late, the masked hero had already yanked them out with a mighty tug.

Almost instantly, everything in the room began to blur and shift like a hologram as it flashed between the tech-lined walls to the rubble the team knew as the old Cadmus lab.

Nightwing managed a small smile before he collapsed, with all of the electricity beginning to overload, no one had heard his screams of pain when Braniac tried to take him over.

Flash was next to his friend in the blink of an eye. "You…you idiot…you installed a failsafe didn't you…" his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

Nightwing simply smiled weakly. "We couldn't have him take over a living vessel…now could we…?" he managed a weak gasp that could've passed for a laugh before he went completely still.

The team was stunned and confused, demanding to know what happened. Flash explained as best he could that Nightwing installed a failsafe in himself, it was supposed to kill him if another consciousness tried to take over.

Upon learning this they all fell into silence, but flash managed a small smile as his form began to blur.

"You've saved the future, thank you" he said quietly as his and Nightwing completely vanished, leaving the team standing inside of an empty earthen cave.

"What just-" Superboy was cut off by a bright light suddenly bursting from nowhere wand blinding them all.

Mt. Justice: Present Day

Kid flash blinked in confusion and looked around the room, the entire team was seated in the living room of the mountain in their civvies, all looking a bit confused.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying Rob?" he said as he turned to face the person in question.

Robin was snapped out of his confused state and instantly wore his signature grin.

"I was just saying that taking up my mentor's title would be too mainstream, I should become my on superhero when I get older. Something cool, like…Nightwing!"

Wally simply laughed. "Dude, you sound like a hipster".
