Hey I'm back hope you are liking this new spin on the story here we go!

Chapter 18

Black Canary gasped for air looking up at Wally, he was so much different from when he first came here. He had strong muscles and rock hard abs, his red hair kept short but yet long enough it slipped into his eyes, his green eyes looked happy but with a sad hint to them. He was in his costume, it was a pure black costume with long sleeved everything. It covered his body completely only leaving his hands feet and head exposed, So he used black boots to cover his feet, black gloves to cover his hands, he wore a black mask to hide his face. The only splotch of color (not counting red hair) was the razor sharp looking "N" on his chest which was white. When in costume fun-loving Wally was replaced by the serious, smart, dangerous but prideful hero, Nightmare.

"Wally there is nothing else I can teach you, you learned it all!" Black Canary smiled.

"There must be something else! I'm only 15! How can I learn everything the whole group can teach, in 3 years?!" Nightmare questioned impatiently.

"Wally-" Wally cut her off with his look that clearly stated: when I'm in costume it is Nightmare. She smiled, he was oh so serious when in costume.

"Nightmare we have taught you everything, you can take everyone of us down! Your only other option is go to the Justice League." She tried again trying to get him to understand through that stubborn teenager head of his. Nightmare just sighed and looked at her.

"I refuse to see the Justice league, but if I can take you all down I can learn from experience. Please take me with you tonight, you never let me go fight crime. I'm ready now, I'm the best fighter here! PLEASE Black Canary!" Wally's attitude had slipped out from under Nightmare, resulting to begging which was NOT something Nightmare did. She chuckled at his desperation but thought heavily about this.

"Wally you are family to all of the group, which means the whole group will make the decision together. I'll get a group meeting on, but if they say no that's it alright?"

"Fine fair enough I guess." Wally mumbled under his breath.

He watched as everyone went into the meeting room, he was part of the group and usually able to go to meetings. But because it was about him he wasn't allowed. Wally sighed in his head as Nightmare stayed still and serious on the outside. He sat silently and waited his patience running out, it had been two hours! What could they possibly be debating?! Wally thought desperately, finally the door opened. Nightmare arose slowly looking at Black Canary inquiringly, she sighed and looked him in the eye.

Nightmare smirked knowing the answer "Just be careful alright?" Black Canary insisted. He nodded slowly, because being Nightmare he could show no real emotions.

"Where are we going?" Nightmare asked while listening to her continuous rant of being careful.

"We are going to Star City, it has a planned robbery tonight. At the Star City state bank, so we will have to be sneaky but deadly. Good thing you excel in those categories but don't get cocky, got it?" By the time Black Canary had finished they were a block from the bank, Nightmare nodded his consent. He pulled his black motorcycle into an alley, along with Black Canary's.

"Ready?" Black Canary whispered, Nightmare got himself in character and nodded. They silently slipped along the building and up the fire escape, until they got to the roof entrance. "Nightmare I'm going to test you, I will keep watch and you can go in and grab the robbers. If you need help do a low whistle." Nightmare nodded and slipped inside, he saw the robbers immediately. They were covered in black sweats and black T-shirt with ski masks on, to Nightmare they looked ridiculous. He always found robbers who dressed in ski masks ridiculous, it was just too typical. He easily took out both robbers with a quick blow, he tied them up quickly and was about to drag them off when he heard it. Nightmare stiffened and quickly flipped around and got into a fighting position, he saw them. Nightmare had turned to face Hawkgirl and Batman, strange, Wally thought, those two teaming up together.

"Stay where you are!" He heard Batman growl at him, Nightmare's prideful self kicked in.

"I'm afraid I can't I have to get going, I already caught the robbers for you, your welcome." Nightmare said in a low dangerous whisper, he started to walk away to get back to Black Canary. When Batman and Hawkgirl charged him he did a backflip avoiding them both and did a long low whistle. Batman and Hawkgirl stopped in their tracks, they saw Black Canary standing behind Nightmare. Batman slowly approached them, Nightmare went to attack when he felt Black Canary's hand on his shoulder. She started forward toward Batman at the same speed.

"Batman, it's been a while I thought you would be too busy in Gotham to come down to stop the robbery. So Nightmare and I helped you out, you are capable of taking them in, I presume. We will just be going then." Black Canary said calmly.

"Black Canary I have told you before the Justice League can take care of it, you don't have to do this. It's dangerous and if we need help we will ask you, but there is no need to bring a boy no more than 15 into this." Batman said calmly but rude.

Nightmare started toward Batman "I am more than capable of taking care of myself, Batman!" He was getting closer to Batman until he heard Black Canary.

"Nightmare, it isn't worth it you don't need to prove your worth. I already know it, please let them be ignorant!" Black Canary pleaded. No one was aware of Hawkgirl looking at Nightmare suspiciously. She started to approach Nightmare when Batman stopped her, she whispered something in his ear and Batman's eyes widened, but suddenly he frowned and motioned at Nightmare's legs. Black Canary finally seeing this stood in front of Nightmare.

"Nightmare lets go." Black Canary said faster and more panicked then she meant to. Wally hearing her urgency started to leave with her, Batman's eyes narrowed.

"Black Canary I can't allow you to add children into this business, take him out of the business and you can leave." Batman bargained.

"Batman you do not know him like I do, what you are asking is impossible I will not."Black Canary stated clearly and calmly.

Batman glared "In that case you are a danger to society, by bringing a child into harms way intentionally. I'm going to ask you to come with us, you are under arrest by order of the Justice League." Batman started toward Black Canary, Nightmare seeing the danger ran at Batman.

"NO!" Black Canary screamed as Wally ran from her grip, heading towards Batman. Wally punched Batman in he face, surprising the Dark Knight. He recovered quickly and fought back, both heroes were locked in battle, Nightmare holding his own. Black Canary looked for a way to stop it, While she was distracted Hawkgirl grabbed her and forced her to her knees. Nightmare immediately stopped and looked over to Black Canary, Batman was shocked to see the boy fought so well. He quickly got over his surprise as he went to grab Nightmare, while he was distracted. Nightmare decided to try his powers for the first time tonight, because Hand-to-Hand wasn't working. He made a hammer out of his aura and hit Batman upside the head. He repeated the motion with Hawkgirl freeing Black Canary. Black Canary smiled and nodded her head towards the door, they both ran out and heard Batman shouting behind them. They had only heard something that sounded like 'next time' when it turned to murmurs.

They both got into the ally where their bikes were when Black Canary stopped, "I don't care how mad you are at what they say, don't you ever run at them when you have a chance for escape! Do you hear me?!" Nightmare kept his calm, serious face and nodded, he knew she was only yelling because she was worried.

"I'm sorry Black Canary, but they threatened you then they had grabbed you, I was just trying to protect you." Nightmare said softly

"I know but you also know that if you had ran when I was captured, I could have used my Canary Cry to get away then followed you." Black Canary stated simply, Nightmare blushed forgetting that little detail in all his anger. "It's alright you did really good anyway just need to work on your emotions." Black Canary smiled, Nightmare smiled back. They hopped on their motorcycles and rode on back, unaware that someone had followed them in their leave.
