Dick Grayson X Donna Troy

This will be based on Titans although it will be a little different and it starts from season 3's end. So in this Basically Donna stays with team instead of returning to Paris and the story continues from there. I won't be incorporating much of season 4 in terms of villains and what now it will be my own story. And if there are any people you want to see Dick Grayson shipped with let me know!

Part 1

"You're supposed to be dead, Die, Die, failure, Dieeee!" Donna shot out of her bed, those voices again, that damned dream again. She shook her head and looked around herself, she was fine, they weren't real just dreams or whatever. She didn't need to worry, that's what she told herself but in reality she'd barely slept and didn't think she could go back to sleep. She moved out of her room to go downstairs to get something to drink, hopefully Dick had bought some late snacks just like he used to do back then. 'Back then' she reminisced, they promised to always be there to support each other and their mentors and to never give up on one another. She had to admit they were pretty close, if not best friends but they've since fallen down a bit. Their differences seemed to tear them apart and make each other unrecognizable. The Dick Grayson she knew then wasn't the same one now and neither was she the same Donna Troy, Dick had become quite arrogant and to some extent like Batman. As in some of his recent methods were of his adopted Father's origin but deep down it was only pressure that got to him, when she 'died' she really thought extensively about his actions and about him. Although he made questionable choices they were always done with the thought of the others and although he seemed arrogant sometimes he just wanted the best for everyone. And that's why she stayed, he seemed to notice his flaws and he can't do this alone. Training a team and leading a team that all looked up to him, who would have thought? Dick Grayson leader of the titans again. Yes, she stayed to help guide the kids to be the team she, Dawn Hank and Dick couldn't be.

"Hey" her eyes met with him as she noticed her caller, she forgot their rooms were right next to each other. Upon rebooting the titans, Dick had gotten them an operational base or ' A rich man's second house' as she'd like to call it to be their Titans tower for now. The upper floor had, She, Kory and Dick up there and the middle floor for the kids and then the lowest for 'titan' operations, and it was in the outskirts of Bludhaven so no one could find them. Except Batman.

"Hey" she blandly replied as she walked beside him, Dick only gave her a brief scan before he deduced her groggily walk and bagged eyes. Donna knew what was about to follow and braced herself for her interrogation by 'Detective Grayson'.

"Are you okay?"

She knew he was aware that she was not okay, after all this had been the third night in a row they'd met at this time. She could just play him off again but then it would reach a stage where he'd grow tired and labour her for the answers or he could-

"You said we'd have to be honest with each other…it was one of the conditions" yes or he could use what she said against her in typical Grayson fashion and cause her to lose another argument. Damn him. "It's been ever since coming back…I saw and heard things I didn't want to and now it's haunting me…so please tell me you have a drink downstairs" he nodded and signaled for her to follow him.

She watched as made his way to the cabinets and poured two glasses for them. Dick watched as she downed her glass in a matter seconds, must be those tough immune systems he mused as he sipped slowly and carefully. "What about you? Why have you been awake" She watched him take another sip and stare at her swirling her glass a bit and looked into his glass as well, "same thing as you" she mentally face palmed. Of course they did tell her that he died, shot by a random Red hood cultist before being tossed into the Lazarus and getting resurrected. The Lazarus pit was no joke, from what she'd heard it fucked with the mind of Ra's Al Ghul and he became a madman albeit he overused it and Jason used it as well and see how he turned out but again he also had external forces shifting him that way. Now Dick, she knew more than anyone the type of things that plagued his mind. The bad blood he has on his hand, and how he blames himself for everything. It's crazy he's not mad but then again he has a strong will. She let out a soft chuckle as she seized his drink from him and had a sip from it. "Even with all these years apart we're still twinning" Dick couldn't help but let out a little chuckle as well seizing his drink back from her and pouring her another. "And you still can't stop using my stuff" she smiled and this time slowly took sips of her drink to imitate him and not lose the feeling of the drink.

"It's crazy you know, you Tim and I died. But he's getting his beauty sleep and we're here shoving our sleep down with alcohol" she wouldn't admit it but she was a bit jealous of the young man. "Well he's quite young and I don't think he's experienced what we have…and besides I don't think I need Beauty sleep and neither do you" she rolled her eyes to the latter part of his sentence, he was always the woman and self pleaser. *Beep* * Beep* they attention immediately turned to Television screen in the middle of the hall, it definitely was not there before. She turned to look at him only to meet a smirk plastered across his face, "cool right" she rolled her eyes looked backed to him waiting for answers. "There's a robbery happen downtown about 10 minutes from here" she downed her drink immediately and turned to him, "Well let's suit up and go. Crime won't handle itself" they nodded and made their way to the basement were they suited up and made their way to the garage. She saw him fidget with some technology on his wrist and immediately saw his bike drive towards the two, "fine, that's cool" Dick and his love for super motorcycles and Cars were like bread and butter definitely inseparable. She hugged onto him bike as they sat on the bike and zoomed to intercept the bad guys.

"Hurry up and let's get out of here" a female dressed in all green leather and Cat like mask yelled out to the other goons, accompanying her was a short bald man in a green suit with goggles hovering above the others in a machine. "Be patient!" The man yelled out to the woman who frowned back in response, "don't test me Gizmo…don't. I'm leaving rally up the men to the location do not be late" and like a ninja she disappeared into the dark leaving no trace whatsoever behind. "Yeah well you heard her men" it wasn't long after before Nightwing and Wondergirl arrived on the scene. Though thanks to their obviously loud motorcycle Gizmo heard and identified them before they had even arrived. "Well, well, well, Wonder girl and…who are you supposed to be?" his questioned went an answered before he had to dodge a leap from wondergirl, "not so fast" he quipped to her as he began to levitate even further in the sky. Meanwhile the men had just released an swarm of bullets on Nightwing who hid behind his cycle for cover, 'Thank God it's bulletproof' he stated to himself as he clouded the area infront of him with smoke bombs, immediately dashing out of the cover he began to take care off the goons one by one each electrified hit knocking out several goons. Before one good take a good shot at him he walks his hand with the baton and hits him backwards before sweeping his legs and knocking him hard with a hit to the head from the baton. He looked up above him where Donna was currently engaging the hovering machine and it's pilot, well he couldn't take that battle but he couldn't leave Donna alone however. He shot his Grapple to the top of building and immediately began to scale it, however this process was cut short as one of the guards shot the rope down causing him fall back down. He looked back from the direction where the supposed to be unconscious guards were, supposed to be because he could goons 15 guards he knocked out and 15 goons currently moving towards him. Still determined he got into stance and charged them again, this time he struck with with even more force as he rapidly hit the back of the one of the goons before another tried to pin him down, however he acrobatically rolled over him to deliver a split kick to two unexpecting goons. From above Donna was torn between attempting to bring the machine down or assisting Dick. Another goon charged him from behind and one from the front as they tried to pin him, his electrocuted batons made easy work of them but he noticed something as he rapidly hit one goon with his baton. There was a little force between each it, a force drawing his baton closer to the other.

Donna again tried leaping but this time she used her Lasso to try and grab hold of the machine, the sphere like machine however could fire back beams and easily made her lasso ineffective, all while the man laughed from above. Yes again there was a force, 'it's magnetism but wait these guys are not in armor or anything unless…they are metals meaning they are androids' he backflipped and immediately smashed a tiny ball into the ground, an emp which should shut down the robots but they didn't. "Dammit, I was wrong" now surrounded he begin to attack and attack and attack but they seemed to never end. Donna turned to look at him again unsure of what do the next, mission wise she should focus on the bad guy but morality wise she has to help him. Torn between the two decisions leaves her spaced out allowing arms that sprouted from the machine to bind her, following with an electrocuting shock. "Donna!" He hit a goon and shot his grapple as he made his way to the roof, again they begin to rain fire on him but this time it's easily stopped by a dark swarm, a cloud maybe. As a female figure in a lavender gown with bloodshot eyes descended from the swarm, 'Rachel' he breathed out as they shared a quick look together and returned to both their works. She landed down as she smiled senilely, in a few seconds the swarm had engulfed and then men and only wails could be heard, Dick gradually made his way to the roof, scanning his environment looking for the Sphere which had abducted Donna. The revving of a motor from behind causes him to dive out of the way as the sphere flies on top of him, Donna still in the hands of the machine and unconscious. "Move and I hit her with another shock, this one would fry her brain" with now support Dick immediately dropped his batons and held his arms in the air, with a flick of his wrist a projectile is shot out and and immediately deactivates the machine causing the two to fall back to the rooftop. Immediately Dick ran towards them but the man shot out with a jet pack cursing at him, 'The rate he's going I'll never catch him…dammit' he turned to the machine and carefully detached her from the machine. She had a heartbeat and her pulse was stable, she was just knocked out he thanked as he carried her bridal style and opted to assist Rachel, Upon reaching down Rachel made a beeline towards him. "Dick ! Is she okay?"

"Yeah, she's just unconscious. Thanks for the save Rach" he said as he patted her head, a small smile appeared across her face at the praises from him. It was all she could ask for, he was the only person who helped her…who believed in her and she felt that made her connected to him. He'd gotten her into a family, people who love her and would do the world for her and she wouldn't have him taken away from her again.

" how did you know we were in danger…" he knew she was no ordinary girl, he should be thanking whatever made brought her there. There was no response from her just a scowl, "why didn't you tell anybody before you left?" Dick placed Donna on his bike and used her lasso to tie them up together before giving a warm smile. He knew how much she cared for the whole team, and she'd give her all for the, but worry and anxiety for their safety was sweet but they look up to him and any sign of weakness could therefore not be tolerated but she didn't need to let it bother her there'd be more to come.

Back in the Tower

"So you guys did what? Left without telling us!" Dick and Donna were being scolded by Kory right now, who'd have thought they would be getting scolded right now like some kids by their peer infront of their students/ juniors. Turning to look at Dick she noticed his rapid impatience growing at the scolding, he was never one for correction despite his mentor being Batman. He still aggressively tapped his leg when he was annoyed though, guess some things never depart. "We're sorry, We just kinda intercepted the call and got way in over our heads." Donna apologized and looked to Dick right after and continued, "aren't we?" They way she said it didn't leave him with much room for disagreements. Kory sighed and turned to the others, "Well then, I guess I say good morning" Donna then watched as she left to the kitchen, Dick got up and moved to the training room where he was immediately followed by Rachel. She'd noticed the two seemed to have a strong bond, like that of an father and daughter or an older brother and his baby sister. She thought it was good on Dick, he was finally showing out love to others and for Rachel someone to love her in this confused stage of hers. It was sweet, she remembered when Kory first told her that Rachel would always back Dick because she saw him as a brother or father figure and that's why she insisted they'd rescue him because she knows he would have done the same for her a hundred times over. Apparently from Kory had told her, she and Dick used to go get ice creams together, strolls and occasionally watched films together. It must have been what has changed him for the good…but now what about her? No she shouldn't drag any kid into her lifestyle, most of her loved ones turn up dead.

A few days later,

"Die, useless, liar, Die! Tell her" again for another night she jolted awake, 'Dammit' she cursed as she ran her hand through her dark hair, 'another midnight madness for Donna Troy' she quipped to herself as she opened the door to meet both Dick and Rachel. "Hey guys" she groggily greeted as the Rachel stared at her confused but Dick had eyes of concern, Dick's anxious eyes was all she picked up in her greeting. "Hey Donna, are you okay" She noticed Rachel and Dick dressed in all black jumps as well as they bag Dick had sprung over his side, what could he be dragging her around at this time for?. "I've been better Rachel…where are you guys heading" she asked the latter as she pointed to the bag and their suit, she was a bit surprised to hear Dick was taking her for a short stakeout in town but then again she shouldn't be. He was Robin, he must have done it about everyday with Batman. With the two leaving she realized they'd be no one around as Connor and Gar had gone with Kory to find investigate a bit more about CADMUS. "Would you like to join us?" She thought about Dick's offer for a moment, even though there was nothing truly to think about. She literally was not going to sleep anytime soon and even if she managed to she'd just have those nightmares again. She could just go and read a book to entertain herself until she grew tired again but then again she didn't feel like remaining sighed. "I guess I can tag along as Backup"

The three parked in a alleyway just behind the building where the alleyway was, From what Dick had told them, there were two representatives from gangs meeting two discuss a transaction and they were just there to observe and gather intel. He gave Rachel the files with the two representatives with their pictures. He pointed out that for the stakeout to be a success she had to identify both of them, that was easy she guessed but unfortunately they had now been 3 hours in and not a sign of any of them. "Are you sure we shouldn't check the back?" Rachel asked for the 1500th thousand time causing Dick to sigh at her, she was forgetting the most important part of this mission is to remain patient. "You've gotta be patient Rachel, that building has only one exit" she groaned and leaned her head against his tinted windows, "Dick Grayson is one to talk about patience" Donna stated as she lifted her eyes from the book to meet his, with a little grin across her could tell from the slight roll of his eyes and exasperated sigh that he already knew what she was coming to do, " I remember you couldn't be still for an hour and when we first began!" Dick groaned in light frustration while Rachel burst into giggles, "that is not true Donna!"

"It very much is, I remember when You and Bruce went on your first stakeout, you fell asleep and ended up sleeping on the horn and alerting everyone in the building of your presence" Rachel couldn't help herself and burst into soft laughter while gripping her stomach. Dick scoffed but with a little smile on his face, it was good to see Donna active and smiling. "Well you were no better…I remember you got us caught by sneezing" Dick retorted as she shot a glare at him, "You know how dusty that room was!" Rachel watching the interaction was in all smiles, she never really saw Donna smile a lot. Dawn told her, Dick and Garth could only cause this reaction and now she'd seen Dick firsthand but not Garth. From what she derived it was Deathstroke who killed Garth and since then Donna had been a little down and she couldn't imagine what she saw when she died.

A few minutes later the two representatives had been easily spotted by Rachel. There was one thing Rachel noticed on the drive back however, although they had a little moments of Joy their hearts were still consumed in darkness. She wanted to ask them about it…but she didn't know, and it didn't seem to be affecting them much but still she didn't want to sense those feelings when she stared at either of them. She wanted to sense Dick Grayson and Donna Troy!
