Author's Note: Oracle and Nightwing started while Oliver was still on Lian Yu so that is why he called Felicity a rip off don't hate the truth


The Next Day

Oliver was in the Foundry he was doing a workout, Oliver was finally on the Salmon Ladder he was almost to the top when Dick walked down.

"What are you doing here?" Oliver asked.

"Hey look I'm sorry about last night it's just that Batman was being an asshole right before Babs and I quit being his sidekicks and I don't want you to turn out the same, if you don't change Roy and Thea will leave you just like I left my family." Dick said

"And what was that?" Oliver asked dropping down.

"Depends which one?" Dick asked.


Flashback: Gotham City Elven Years Ago

"Ladies and Gentlemen! The Flying Graysons!" Dick and his family started waving they smiled for the cameras.

"You're up son." John Grayson, Dick's father said smiling Dick grabbed the fly bar and swung off when he let go he did a quadruple summersault in midair and he grabbed on to the other one when he got to the other platform his mother hugged him.

"Nice job Richard one more flip than last time." She said.

"Thanks mom I've been practicing." He said, his mom kissed him and grabbed the fly bar she swung off Dick looked at the fly bar his father was holding by his legs the rope looked like it was about to snap, his mother jumped and right when her weight was added the rope snapped, "Noooooo!" Dick screamed and started climbing down he ran in between them tears rolling down his eyes he fell to his knees crying.


Starling City present day

Oliver, Roy, Diggle, and Dick were shirtless in a four way Escrima battle which Dick was destroying them in Oracle and Felicity were watching Barbara leaned over and asked.

"Is it always this awkward?" she asked trying not to blush.

"Yep." Felicity said as the men finished.

"You know that was a little unfair." Diggle said.

"I agree." Dick said, "It was three on one." He said smiling grabbing his towel and opening a bottle of water.

"No I mean because you use those on a nightly basis." Diggle showed a bruise Dick gave him Dick looked at it.

"Don't worry you'll live." He said and patted Dig on the back as Felicity started to get back to work.

"How are we on tracking down where ever the Mirakuru is being made?" Oliver asked walking behind Felicity.

"That's the thing" Barbara said, "We don't think its Mirakuru."

"What do you mean 'we'?" Oliver asked.

"As in me and Babs." Dick said, "We've seen someone like this before and his name wasn't Slade Wilson the man we're talking about is called Bane he uses something called Venom." Barbara pulled up one of the men in the hospital, "This man's body is altered in ways only Venom can." Dick said, "This is just a theory there is one other option."

"Slade is working with this Bane guy." Roy said "That could explain how they got blinded and the bodily alterations."

"Or it could be something else entirely." Felicity said.

"Like what?" Oliver said.

"I hadn't actually formulated an idea I was kind of hoping you would." Felicity said as her voice trailed off, "I'm going to look for possible Venom dealers in Starling." Then a Red blur and a Yellow blur ran into the room when it stopped it was revealed to be Barry Allen, The Flash and Wally West, Kid Flash.

"We came as soon as we could the rouges were acting up again." Barry said putting his mask back on.

"What's up Richard?" Wally said doing the opposite of Barry.

"Barry take this blood sample and have S.T.A.R. Labs analyze it and tell us what chemicals are in it." Oliver said.

"Okay. Later Felicity." Barry said and ran off.

"Hey wait up!" Wally yelled and sped off after him.


Flashback: Titans tower, Three years ago

"I just don't get it Dick why do you need to find yourself?" Roy asked.

Dick sighed, "I didn't want to say the real reason but yesterday I got a call from him and he said if I'm not his sidekick I can't be Robin it sounds ridiculous but also in a way makes sense."

"Will we see you again?" Wonder Girl asked.

"Hopefully but what I'm doing what I will be is still undecided." Dick answered his phone vibrated he looked at the text message he chuckled, "Babs is getting impatient until we meet again." He said as he started to leave Titan Tower as he was about to exit a voice spoke.

"Aren't you going to say the goodbyes?" the voice asked.


Starling City Docks 8:00pm

The Arrow stood with his team across from them stood Nightwing.

"I'm going in." Nightwing said.

"No!" The Arrow and Oracle said.

"That building has a skylight perfect for an awesome entrance." Nightwing said.

"Nightwing no!" Oracle and The Arrow said in unison.

"I'm thinking a triple flip tuck and roll." Nightwing said smiling knowing he was getting to them.

"Is he always this stubborn?" The Arrow asked firing his grapple arrow.

"Yep but that's part of the reason I love him." Oracle said, "Team Arrow word is go." As Team Arrow entered the building Nightwing landed on a window and back flipped off then pressed himself against the wall he heard voices three thugs were walking in his direction he took out his Escrima sticks when they turned the corner he threw an Escrima stick it hit a man in his head he slid under another's punch grabbed him with his legs and threw him down he got up and started rolling towards his other Escrima stick dodging gunfire while doing it, he pulled out a birdish shaped ninja star.

"Dick the Wing Dings haven't been tested." Oracle said seeing what he was picking out.

"It's called a field test Oracle, and besides they're just like Batarangs." Nightwing said and threw the "Wing Ding" it landed in the barrel of the man's gun he threw his gun down and pulled out a knife he charged Nightwing. Nightwing did a flip kick and knocked him out a guy snuck up behind him Nightwing back fisted him knocking him out. "All clear." Nightwing said.

"Do you see an air vent near you?" Dick looked up and saw one.

"Yes…do I have to use this tactic?" Dick wined.

"Do you have a problem with it?" Oracle asked.

"It just seems so…Robin. Can't I just sneak in through the window?" he asked.

"Look in the room." Oracle said getting a headache because he's being so Robin and he doesn't even realize it. Dick looked in the room to see twenty of the masked men and Slade Wilson.

"Okay…air vent it is." He said as he used his grapple gun to pull the vent off.


Flashback: Titan Tower, three years ago

Barbara's patients had run out she stormed up to the T shaped building to angry to wonder why it's shaped like a T. She typed in Dick's passcode and saw Dick hugging his ex-girlfriend, Starfire Barbara coughed to make her presence known.

"Babs!" Dick shouted letting go of the hug, "It's not what it looks like…well it is but it isn't, it wasn't like a I'm cheating on my girlfriend hug it was a goodbye old friend hug."

"Can we go?" Barbara asked, "I've been waiting for an hour and I don't want to miss the game."

"What game?" Dick asked.

"The Knights game. You know The Gotham Knights vs The Starling Rockets." She said.

"Oh right that one yeah, yeah, we need to get going if we're going to make it." Dick said as he and Barbara walked out hand in hand before the door closed Barbara gave Starfire the middle finger.


Starling City Docks 9:05pm

"Felicity pull up schematics of the building please." The Arrow asked.

"Okay hold on one second—" Felicity stated but was cut off.

"Done." Barbara said, "sending the schematics now." She sent the schematics to everyone. Felicity looked on in stunned silence.

"How did you do that so fast?" Felicity asked, "No one has ever out hacked me."

"Oh I have a vast knowledge of computers and electronics, a genius level intellect and a photographic memory so after three years this became a piece of cake."

"Did you work crime-fighting before Oracle?" Felicity asked.

"Yes" Barbara paused for a moment, "I was Batgirl, and I loved being Batgirl." Barbara said.

"What happened to you to make this happen?" Felicity asked.


Flashback: Downtown Blüdhaven, Three years ago

"Babs I'm going to my interview!" Dick shouted

"Alright." Barbara said as she walked into the room and walked over to Dick, "Don't forget you're making dinner tonight." she said as she straightened his tie. Dick looked at her with his blue eyes, "What?" she asked.

"Babs we both know if I'm in charge of dinner I'll just pick up Big Belly Burger on the way home." He said they shared a kiss and he walked out. Later that day there was a knock on the door.

"Did you forget your key again Dick?" she opened the door to see Carmine Falcone (Author's note: I just picked a random member of the Falcone crime family because I didn't want to ruin my continuity or the continuity of The Killing Joke) holding a revolver and he shot her in the gut she fell to the ground.

"Welcome to Blüdhaven Bitch." He said and walked away a few minutes later Dick showed up with Big Belly Burger and saw the door open.

"Oh no." he dropped the bag said and ran down the hallway he saw Barbara lying on the floor, "BABS!" he pulled out his phone and called 911, "Hello I need an ambulance here now my girlfriend has been shot. No she's not Blüdhaven P.D. but I am. I'm Officer Richard Grayson."


Starling City Docks 10:05pm

The Arrow and Arsenal were back to back fighting off the monsters.

"Where's Nightwing?" Arrow asked.

"I don't know." Arsenal said, "But I hope he shows up soon." Elsewhere Nightwing was in a battle with Slade Wilson he was holding his own but his Eskrimas were broken and he had stolen Slade's staff forcing Slade to pull out his sword the battle was intense eventually Slade broke the staff and hit Nightwing with the butt of the sword he put the sword away for a bit and proceeded to viciously beat Nightwing with is bare hands. As he was going for the final blow there was the familiar swoosh of arrows.

"Got to run boy but we aren't done here." Slade said then exited through the window. Dick passed out when he awoke they were in the Foundry and Oliver didn't look pleased.


Author's Note: Incase it wasn't explained enough give me a legit reason for The Joker to be in Blüdhaven I can't think of one
