Bruce face changed from annoyance to shock, that now his son who had been AWALL for more than four years was now standing in front of him in a dinner. Yep this was going to be plane awkward reunion between father and son. At least he isn't giving me the silent "I'm mad at you and I'm not going to yell at you because this is scaring the shit out of you" glare yet. Then again I probably just jinxed myself. The grip tightened on my hand in a very painful way but I guess that's what I get for dating a Tamaran. I was definitely overwhelmed, heavy on the "over". Realization took over Clark face when he grasped who I was. His mouth hung open in surprise.
"How's it going Clark," I smiled at Clark.
"Richard?" asked my dad as though I wasn't really there.
"Richard?" asked Starfire curious to the unfamiliar name. Clark and my father looked over to star noticing her for the first time. They looked shocked to see her eyes were nothing but a light green (1.) and she had no pupils. I had just noticed that Star had taken off her glasses apparently she was comfortable around these two.
"My name," I whispered into Stars ears. The two older men seemed to notice that I had a pretty imitate relationship with the girl they thought it was strange.
"Father I would like to introduce you to Starfire my girlfriend. And yes before you ask she is an alien actually she is in fact the younger sister of the person you have been looking for." I told to a very shocked looking Clark and Bruce.
"How did you know…" said a very confused Clark.
"Oh sorry Dad I got bored and hacked into your computer and from there I hacked into the Justice League main frame. You see I got suspicious when I kept seeing a bunch of you guys in my city." A smile played across my lips when a small suspicious smile crossed my dad's face. Yep he knew I was playing with him and Clark. But Dad being dad would not take the teasing so he directed it towards me.
"I see you've grown up I mean you actually got a girlfriend. Everyone thought you'd never hit puberty but look at you!" he smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. I direct my version of the "Bat glare" onto the person it was named after. The "Bat glare" never seemed to work on him only the puppy dog face ever seemed to work. Even though the Batman was a cold man with no emotions, Bruce was not. When the mask came off so did the cold personality with it. Under the cowl was my father the man that I knew and trusted more than anyone else. That was difference between me and my father he could still take off the mask which I no longer could. The mask had been permanently been "glued" on since the day I left. I could no longer be "Dick he was gone. I could still be "Richard" but he was just an act. And "Robin" was no longer my role to play it was now Tim's. It had been years since I had last seen my little brothers though I kept in touch with Jason because he needed it more then I needed to disappear completely. This was for the best anyways my team did not know me as Robin they only knew me as Nightwing. They did not know that I once was the protégé of the Dark Knight. When I had come to Star City I was no longer Robin I had adopted a new persona and that was my identity. (2.)
"Enough," I was getting tired of trying to be "Dick". The gentle smile was wiped off of my dad's face and was replaced my ever serious bats. And Clark went from relaxed to tense with one word.
"I know why you guys are here and I'm going to tell you guys to back down and let me handle this," yes I was blunt but I knew asking nicely would do nothing for me at least this way I could argue my way into making them leave.
"No," no was a few less words that I was expecting but the answer was the same.
"Why?" and it started.
"You don't know what you dealing with, she too dangerous for you to handle on her," here we go the father / almighty bat explanation. "I don't care how much information you gathered she wanted all over the universe! He slammed his fist onto the table to make his point. The old couples currently located in the dinner looked up from their coffee to see what all the commotion was. Their eyes quickly located where the noise came from and they openly stared. Bruce sighed rubbing his face and trying to ignore the prying stares.
"I know one thing and that's I know more about her and her powers then you do," I resorted.
"Oh really now," great he was using sarcasm on me now I hated when he did that it made me feel like an idiot. Like I was not up to his standards. "And how exactly do you know our target?"
"Let's just say if I talk about her now it's not going to be pretty."
"I don't care talk." Yep I was definitely not winning this conversation. Oh well might as well get it over with better now than latter.
"Star," I said turning my complete attention to her, "How do I say this….well your sister is here in Star city and she wanted intergalacticly and now the whole Justice League is here to take her in." well I was always blunt what with a hyperactive speedster and a "I don't play games" father I was destined to be blunt.
"WHAT!" Starfire screeched.
"Oww my ears but yeah your sister is here."
"I'm going to kill that… % $$% $%%" she said something in Tamaranian that I knew was definitely not a complement. (3.)
The next thing I knew Star was gone and my Dad and Clark were staring at me as if I had gone insane.
"What? You know I'm always blunt," I shrugged my shoulders ignoring their stares.
"You're dating a Tamaran?" my dad asked me.
"Yeah why I mean you're dating Diana and she an Amazon," yep definitely blunt, "And besides at least my girlfriend is actually able to have a relationship with men."
"Richard."
"Listen I got to go," I sighed it was time to go stop my girlfriend from killing a wanted criminal. Her sister. "Just do me on favor and stay out of this I know that you were asked to take care of this but you don't need to. I'll handle this."
And I left them sitting in the booth fuming and I knew this was not the last time I would be seeing them.
~Yeah it's another line break! ~
After about an hour of searching for Starfire I found her on a bench in a park with her head in her hands. I took a seat next to her and stretched my arms over the back of the bench. Tipping my head back I sighed this was going to be a long week after all it was only Sunday.
"Listen Star," I said startling her, yeah I still had my ninja skills down, she looked up with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry we will get her she won't cause you anymore problems from now on."
"I know we will get her Night it's just that I wish she would just stop all this!"
"I know what you mean."
"NO you don't I just want my sister back!"
"Trust me Star I went through something similar," my younger Brother Jason was crazy but not as crazy as Black fire. "Star you remember about a year ago when I disappeared for about two weeks."
"Yes but what does this have to do with anything?" she questioned the tears started to slowed and she looked calmer now.
"Well around when I was fourteen my younger brother was beaten to death," I took a deep breath this was always the hardest to talk about it was one of the reasons I left. (4.)
"Oh Night I'm so sorry I didn't know."
"It's fine anyways that wasn't what I wanted to tell you. When I disappeared for those two weeks I went back home you see one of the men responsible for his death felt guilty he said it was never his intention to let him die so he brought him back."
"What do you mean?" asked Starfire confused more than ever.
"How do I explain this…. Well you see he was a sort of a Sorcerer he had this lake that made him return to being young he thought it could bring someone back and it did. My younger brother was furious at our father for not killing the man that killed him. He thought that our father did not love him as much as he thought. So he caused havoc all around the city I was from. He killed people and took over the drug trafficking. Even though what he was doing was actually help the city become cleaner our father could not take someone killing off people. His second encounter with him he realized who it was. Conflicted he called me into help. It took about a week but we finally got him to come back. I spent the other week reconnecting with him and helping him. I still call him today but that one week where I had my brother back but not at the same time was extremely hard."
"I'm sorry for saying you did not understand I did not know this happened you never told me," she said with a slight look of hurt gleaming in her eyes.
"No it's my fault I never told you guys anything about my past I never opened up to you and for that I' am sorry but you must understand who I was in the past is no longer me so it's not like you don't know me. My past isn't the happiest actually it's pretty dark and I didn't want to plague you with my past. I also did not want pity I have too much pride unfortunately." I laughed softly trying to lighten up the mood. I closed my eyes and once again threw my head back. The next thing I knew Starfire had tackled me and had buried her head into my chest. I let out an "Umph" from the force of her tackle. I wrapped my arms around Star feeling the "Aster". (5.) This was definitely paradise we quickly drifted off to sleep on the park bench.
~YEP! Another ONE! ~
"BAYWATCH YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" a familiar scream woke me up from my peaceful nap, Starfire also stirred mumbling a complaint. The nick-name the girl was yelling was familiar but I just could not put my finger on it.
"Really Art I'm to blame for this!" oh god now I remember it was those two.
"YES! You're the one who let that Fucking bitch go!"
"WELL WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD SOMEONE BUT THEN THEY used their freaky alien powers ON YOU," Wally had whispered half the conversation making sure the public did not hear the part about an alien. Cause then they would be in trouble especially if the Bats found out.
"Shut up Kid Idiot!" I screamed they were seriously giving me a massive headache, heavy on the mass. This seemed to shut both of them up because now all their attention was on me. Oh great. What's with my luck today! I mean am I introducing everyone from my past to Star today?
"What?" the two of them looked at me strangely after all I did change a lot. To them I was probably some weird stranger that insulted him as "Kid Flash".
"Who are you?" Artemis said directing her full blown glare to me.
"Oh I'm hurt that you guys don't remember me and after all the time we spent together Wally I'm heartbroken," I said sarcastically and this was scaring me. Batman and now Wally were bringing out "Dick" who I buried all those years ago. Memories were sprouting up like prairie dogs. Ok not the best simile but it works. "Well I'm just 'Welmed'" I could no longer be Nightwing when I was around them and that was a bad thing. The Identity I so desperately built up was now falling down in a matter of days.
"No way it can't be," Wally was not believing his eyes and I did not blame him.
"Yeah it's me," I answered pulling back my sunglasses to revile my cerulean eyes.
"Holy shit your hair!" yep this was Wally as soon as he finds out it's me he comments about my hair. "Dude how long is your hair what are you trying to look like a girl?" I faced face palmed myself as Artemis slapped him upside his head.
"Oww! Babe what was that for!" Wally whined.
"What do you think it was for you idiot!" she yelled, "We finally see him for the first time in years and you comment on his hair!" She then mumbled under her breath asking herself why she dated this idiot. What I was trained by the world greatest detective of course I could read lips.
"So where were you all these years?" asked Artemis.
YEP! It is another cliff hanger! I am so sorry for not updating but finals came up then it was a lot of parties and me having no idea what to write. Yes I do not have this story planed out I have been planning out a book and a sequel I want to write over the summer. So yeah here is my update. The chapters will be getting longer each one that is my goal they might even get up to 10,000 if this story continues on that long.
Author notes:
1 Ok one is about Starfire eyes they are more like the comic version and by the way the style of animation in this story is Young Justice hence why it's under Young Justice.
2 Ok Tim and Jason are in this but they have a closer relationship as brothers then in the comics and shows.
3 I don't know any Tamaranian so it will be like that if she talks in Tamaranian.
4 Ok 4 is about Jason it follows The movie Under The Red Hood but it's a little different in the fact that Jason is back under Bruce's care and has somewhat gone back to the way he was before his death. But he is still slightly crazy and will have an obsession with guns in my story. So yeah Jason is Alive!
5 Dick is slowly going back to his old self so sorry if it's confusing he doesn't really notice but when he does he gets mad.
I'm sorry that Dick has weird mood swings it kind of just happened but I guess it works so sorry for the people who think it's weird.
I will hopefully be updating sooner since it is summer so yeah! And if anyone has ideas for Blackfire I mean as to what she going to do or did do that would be great and should I do different point of view or keep it as Dick's POV
Okay I'm done rambling please review!
