Dick's POV
"Grayson" shouted Dick's partner, Detective Sarah Jones, waking Richard up from his nap. Dick groggily opened his eyes to the brunet in front of him, she was barely five foot 10 with short hair that just covered her ears. She was wearing a light blue and grey uniform with a shining silver badge on her chest that stated BHPD, she also had a gun holster on her side and a belt filled with various equipment officer's need. "How did you get in my apartment Sarah" Dick asked annoyed at his partner.
She smiled, "the spare key you gave me" she replied showing said key. "Which I said to only use for emergency's" he replied closing his eyes again, "it is an emergency" she said, "is like the emergency when there were three cats stuck in a tree" he said not opening eyes, knowing his partner was frowning at him. "No an actual emergency involving the Crater case" she replied and Dick only opened one eye, "go on" he said.
"We found the last surviving member of Crater's gang" she said but Dick didn't react. Howard Crater was a mob boss until about two years ago when he decided to extend his reach to Gotham; him and his entire gang were eradicated by one of the many gangs of Gotham. As Nightwing he knew who did it but as Detective Grayson he didn't, which he found totally not asterous. Howard made the mistake of invading on one of the most dangerous gangs in Gotham, Bane's, he and Batman found the warehouse where Howard attempted to set up; he couldn't believe how ruthless Bane was to this gang. Bane still angry at Howard's attempt on his turf led to the entire gang being destroyed almost overnight, he also sent the beaten body to BHPD; as a message to all in Blüdhaven.
He knew one day a member of Howard's gang would turn up, Bane left one alive to warn the other mobs to stay out of Gotham and especially his turf. He already knows what the one gang member would say, but the BHPD needs evidence and a face to the killer of the Crater gang. He sighed, "alright I'll get ready, even though it's my day off" he said and Sarah rolled her eyes, "I'm still surprised you even took a day off, but think of it this way, you're doing something productive" she said as Dick got up and went to change. "I rather be sleeping right now" he retorted, five minutes later he came out wearing sunglasses, some black jeans and a dark blue shirt, "seriously Dick" Sarah said, "day off remember" he retorted again.
They reached the station and went straight to the interrogation room, inside was a small man literally shaking in the chair. "So Lenny, you're the last surviving member of Howard Crater's gang" Dick started looking at the terrified man in front of him, "I-I-I can't b-be here-e" he said stuttering his words. "Look just tell us who killed Crater's gang and you free to go" Sarah said eyeing the trembling man. "T-t-hat's a lie-e, you're going to send-d-d me to jail for-r my time in Crater's g-g-ang" he said rocking himself, "then they'll k-k-ill me for squealing" he said again. Dick looked at his partner and she was frowning, "who killed your gang" Sarah said more serious, "Howard wanted to try Gotham, he paid the price, but from what we heard from the GCPD, it was basically slaughter" Dick said looking at the man. "He killed them all" Lenny screamed, "who killed them" Sarah shouted back, Dick silently smirked. "BANE" Lenny yelled.
After dealing with all the paper work that followed the interrogation, Sarah decided to ask Dick a question while walking back to his apartment complex. "So any plans for today, or are you just going to waste your day sleeping" she asked and Dick smirked again, "stop that" she said and Dick just kept smirking, "you are so annoying" she said at last and Dick looked smug. "And yet your still my partner" he said, "only because all my other partners kept hitting on me, and I can't stand them" she retorted, "didn't they know your gay, or did you forget to mention it" he said and she lightly punched him.
"Shut up, your just jealous that more girls hit on me in a month then you in a year" she said smugly, "please, do you know how many 'love' letters I get from crazy stalkers" he said. "Alright I have to head back to the station and do more paper work, while you enjoy your day off, Mr. Oh-so-loved" Sarah said leaving Dick alone. If only she knew.

Nightwing was in safe house in northern Blüdhaven, finishing his report on the Carter gang and Lenny's confession, when a message came on his computer. Answer the door, was all it said before he heard a knock from his back door, he smiled and opened the door, "well this is a surprise you came and person and Robin's here too, left Gotham alone with Batgirl" Nightwing said as Batman and Robin entered his safe house. "Nightwing we need to talk about something important" Batman said with a stone cold face, "jezz, what was so important you came in person" Nightwing said half-jokingly, he looked at Robin who was giving the no joking gesture.
"Two weeks, the GCPD got a tip about a safe house belonging to the Falcone's, when they arrived they found everyone dead, last week another safe house belonging to Black Mask was raided by the GCPD only to find everyone dead again, the GCPD did autopsy on all the bodies and there was a connection in the assaults, all were killed either by bullet or a crossbow bolt" Batman stated going to Nightwing's computer. "We believe whoever they are will attack Blüdhaven next, and their motive is obviously bringing down any one working a mob or gang" Robin said continuing for Batman.
"So you think they're a rival gang or someone with a bone to pick with the mob" Nightwing said, "the killings were too much straightforward, a rival gang would have opened fire and the rival would have taken the various weapons and cash in the safe houses" Batman said pulling up the GCPD Police report. "We attempted to find any footage to find who ever attacked the safe houses, but they hacked all cameras in the area, they planned every detail" Robin said looking at Nightwing. "If anything happens here that matches those attacks then I'll contact you and see what evidence I can find" he said and Batman and Robin nodded.
"Be vigilant Nightwing" Batman said as he proceed to leave, "stay safe Dick" Robin said following his mentor. Nightwing studied the repots for a while only to be stopped by a phone call, he smiled knowing the number well. "Hey Z, no I didn't get to enjoy my day off, I'll get over it, how are you, asterous, we're still good on Friday night right, yep I'll pick you up at Seven" he said quickly and he heard Zatanna chuckle over the phone, "see yah Dick" she said hanging up. Dick smiled again and went back to the report.
This is longer than my first chapter, I wanted to get a good grasp of Dick's life in Blüdhaven; I'm setting the stage you could say. Anyways please review, tell me what you think, you have a good idea I'll do a shout out to you. Don't worry the other members of Young Justice, they'll come later; especially Conner. I'll go into how everyone is dealing with Wally's loss, I didn't want Nightwing to face those emotions just yet.
