She missed Jason so much. She missed the love he gave her. She missed how he could always make her happy, no matter what. She missed that even if they were fighting for months on end, he would still believe that they could work it out, which they always did.

She had just came through from the cave after her day with her old team, taking the zeta tube to The Batcave.

When Rainey arrived, she was alone, as Bruce and Tim were probably out on patrol. She made her was over to the computer, and sitting herself down on the chair, she began looking at the recent illegal things going on in Gotham tonight.

As she scrolled down the list, a new notification popped up. It was a message from an unidentified IP address. Clicking on it, an audio recording came up, and began to play.

"You think I've forgotten, don't you? Well, you're not getting rid of me that easily. We end this. Tonight. Meet me in warehouse 67 down by the docks. Come alone. If you don't show, I'm coming to you. And you don't want to know what I'll do."

Rainey recognised the voice instantly and her heart rate sped up at the thought. This was Jason. No no no no no no no! This can't be happening! Not now! She had just told her friends about him, making her relive memories and making her tear up on the inside.

She knew that this day would come eventually, she just didn't want it to be so soon. Jason is probably expecting Batman to show up, so should she call him? This wasn't exactly her Jason talking. This was Red Hood. But it doesn't matter.

In the end, this was Jason. He might not be her Jason, but it was Jason nonetheless. And like she said earlier, she still loved him. And she had to face him. Maybe then could she move on. Maybe...

...

With a slow approach, Nightwing entered the warehouse. She had neglected her decision to call Batman. He would only complicate things right now. She wanted- no, needed- to face him. To let him know that she still had faith in him.

"You're not Batman." A rough voice echoed around the thin walls of the warehouse, bouncing around, seemingly taunting the girl.

"You didn't request for Batman. You just said to come here." Nightwing paused for a few moments. "Do you know me?" She asked carefully, dreading the answer she knew was coming, but she needed to ask it. She needed conformation.

"You're Nightwing. The First Robin. The Girl Wonder. The Bats first sidekick- Oops. I meant partner. Isn't that it? You and a few other kids kicked up a stink a few years ago about that. You all rebelled against the League and went out on your own for a day. You went to put out a fire, and ended up blowing up a building, freeing an unstable experiment, getting electrocuted a few times and then the League thought you did good work, so gave you a team for it. Right? Or did I get my facts wrong?" Red Hood mocked her from the shadows.

"No, that sounds pretty accurate if you ask me." Nightwing mumbled, but it was loud enough for Red Hood to hear.

"Good to know. Now where is the Bat? Did he send you in first cause he didn't want to get his hands dirty?" Red Hood asked, venom clear in his voice.

"No. He was out when you sent the message. I thought I'd come and try to talk to you. Batman would only get in the way of that." Nightwing confessed.

"You want to talk? Sorry sweetheart, you may be here to talk, but I'm her to fight." Red Hood got into a fighting stance, a hand reaching for his gun. Nightwing panicked slightly.

"Just hear me out! Look, you may not remember me, but I sure as heck remember you! And it kills me to see you right now. When you're like this. Because you're not Jason. You're not my Jason. And I need my Jason back. It's been tearing me apart knowing that you're still out there, and I can't get you back because you're not you! You put me through so much when you died, and then when we found out that you were back? I was mentally killing myself, trying to think of a reason why you didn't come back. And then you started to kill. And thats when I realised. You weren't you anymore." A few stray tears ran down Nightwing's face as she finished her speech.

Red Hood's arms had dropped down to his side. Slowly, and carefully, he started to walk towards the girl. He stopped when he was directly in front of her and slowly raised his hand up to her face, hovering there for a few seconds, before cupping her face, as Nightwing let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. Her muscles relaxed as thoughts raced through her head. Does this mean he remembers? Did she do it?

Suddenly, faster than Nightwing could anticipate, Red Hood had taken out his knife, cut her utility belt off from around her waist, grabbed her wrists and covered her mouth. Immediately, Nightwing began to panic.

"You really thought that that would work on me? How stupid do you think I am? I'm not gonna fall for your tricks, Nightwing. You can't fool me. But, you could be some help to me. Right now, I've gotten hold of one of Bats Kids. I can use this against him. Thank you, Nightwing." And with that, Red Hood dragged her over to a side of the warehouse, grabbing some rope and some cloth. Taking her wrists into one hand, he tied them together and then proceeded to gag her.

The fear continued to rise in Nightwing's chest. What has she done? Batman doesn't even know she left to go meet Red Hood. Now look what shes gotten herself into. This was all her fault. If she hadn't of been so stupid, then maybe things would've been ok!

Throwing one arm round Nightwing and grabbing her tied up wrists in one hand, he pulled out a cellphone, and pressed a few buttons, and quickly he was on the phone.

"Hey, I'm gonna need a car sent to me."
