**-{Sup.}-**

Did the last chapter depress those who read it? This story isn't as popular. It doesn't seem like a lot of people like it.

But what can I say? I'm erupting with inspiration.

**-{COMMENCE}-**

Green eyes slowly open, or at least he thinks so. His body feels like it's floating through the air, but all he can see is darkness. His skin feels like it's covered in bubbles. He feels a humming in his ears. He thinks he should be panicking, but he feels strangely calm. Then the humming dims and the delayed panic sets in. Then a voice.

'Jai...'

He screams out. 'Taticul? T-Taticul! Where... what...'

'Nu... Jai...'

But they can't hear him. 'Taticul! What's going on? Taticul?'

A different voice came. 'Jai... c'mon kid... st-stay with me...'

'D-Daddy? Dad! Tati! Help me! Help!'

Somebody else. Jai doesn't recognize the voice. It's a woman's voice, but it's fairly low and scratchy.

'Is he gonna make it?'

**-{TIMESKIP}-**

Jai sat up in his hospital bed, covered in sweat.

Dick was sitting next to the bed, in a chair. His hair was a mess, he looked like he hadn't showered in days. His skin was pale and his blue eyes seemed dull. Tear stains ran down his cheeks.

Nightwing tried to not react when Jai sat up with a blood-curling scream. Doctor Thompkins made sure Dick understood that if Jai ever did wake up, he would likely suffer from severe amnesia and wouldn't recognize anybody.

Jai looked around the room, panicking. There was nothing Dick wanted more then to hold him and tell him everything was okay. But that would just scare Jai even more.

For almost a minute neither move. Then Jai throws his arms around Dick's neck.

'Taticul!' Jai started to cry into his father's shoulder. Dick sighed with relief and smiled.

'How do you feel, Jai?'

The younger boy releases the hold on his father, who has tears in his own eyes.

'Scared. Happy. I don't know. I wanna go home. I wanna see Daddy and Irey. When can I go home? Is Irey okay? Did the bad guy hurt her?'

Dick laughed. 'Iris is fine. She's just hungry, so is Dad.'

Jai crawls onto Dick's lap and rests his head onto his shoulder.

'Jai...' Dick held the boy closer. 'I...I'm sorry. When you were born, I should have stopped being a hero. It just put your life in danger. If I wasn't Nightwing, this wouldn't have happened. So I-I'm gonna quit. You and Iris deserve better then this. I'm so sorry I put you through that, Jai. And I-'

'Tati, I don't want you to stop being Nightwing. Lots of people are safer because you save them from the bad guys. Please, Taticul. Still save people. Please?'

Jai looked at his father, his eyes glimmering like emeralds. Eyes just like Wally's. Dick smiled.

'If that's what you want. But if you ever get hurt again because of me, Nightwing's done. Deal?'

Jai grinned. 'Deal.' He put his head back down on Dick's shoulder. He fell asleep to his father's heartbeat.

**-{FIN}-**

I'm drowning in fluffiness. What do you think? Is it too much? I hope not. Expect a lot more of Jai and Iris in future stories.

I don't know if this is going to confuse you guys. If there was something you didn't understand, tell me. I don't mind constructive criticism.

Jai and Iris call Dick Taticul or Tati because it means father in Romanian, I guess, it says like fifty differant things but I just chose Taticul. Even though I'm pretty sure Dick actually speaks Romani, I can't find a translator for that. I don't know. I thought it would be cute if they used his first language.

Hope you enjoyed. Leave a review.
