"Happy Birthday Dick!!" Miss Martian cheered.

"Now can I go to the Moors?!" Beast Boy pleaded.

"I don't see why not, besided Fandrall has been complaining about something going on with the the wallerbogs and pixies."

"What?"

"Don't ask, kid." Flash, who was now Wally, cut in, ruffling the kid's hair.

Recognized Batman 02, Robin B32,

"Team, for your mission you will be helping Dick get the upgrade the cloaking device in the Moors. There will be no need to suit up, since there will be no threat."

"Sweet, this means that I get to see the Moors again." Beast Boy smiled. Over the years, Dick's job of being king grew. He dealt with peace treaties, dealing with international crises, and patrolling Bludhaven, but no matter how tired he got, his mother's words rang through his head. "You were never one to give up."

"We'll be leaving in five." Dick declared. Wally and Artemis scurried away, M'gann and Connor followed Beast Boy into the training room, and Kaldur disappeared not saying a word.

"Tim hacked the zeta tubes, correct?" Connor asked, as the team met up after Dick left to do something in the mountain.

"Yep, so when we walk through, Dick won't notice anything." Garfield assured. Following his sister and team through, they were soon surrounded with lush green, pink, and white wildflowers. Next to it was the beautifully restored castle, that the original team members saw in Nightwing's head all those years ago. And lying in front of them was the crystal blue waters of the lake. Walking behind King Richard's castle - it was joke used by mostly by Wally, Dick doesn't really like formal names - was a huge birthday set up. Most of the League, along with their spouses, was there. Both teams had been planning this surprise party for months, they even got Agent A and Batman in on it.

"Are you sure that he doesn't suspect anything?" Artemis asked her boyfriend.

"Trust me babe, I know when to keep my mouth shut." Wally said

"Let's hope that he'll be actually surprised, instead of pretending like he did five years ago." M'gann added.

"He should be arriving soon." Kaldur informed.

"Everyone, he's here." Fandrall warned.

"Everyone get ready." Clark said in a panicked state.

"It's fine. No need to surprise me." A voice said. Sighing in defeat everyone looked up to see Dick gliding above them.

"Dick get down here!" Bruce called out. As soon as he landed, Wally was right up in his face.

"How did you find out?" He asked worriedly.

"Yeah, did Baywatch open his mouth again?" Artemis questioned, ready to punch Wally

"Or did the Barry tell you?" Diana asked. Staring at the other speedster

"Hey, I resent that!!" Barry called out, but was pulled away by his wife.

"Actually the pixies gave it away." Dick explained with a smile. "They couldn't stop whispering about how pretty the decorations were."

"Thistlewit, I thought that you told us that the others would be quiet about it?" M'gann moaned

"Sorry."

"Either way, Thanks for the party." Boosting everyone's spirits, the party went on. It was great there was cake, the water fairies put on shows, and the Dark Fae were able to talk to people like Hal about flying, or Shayera about her people, while the young fae talked with Lian and the other members of the Team. As day turned into night, the party continued. While everyone was busy talking, Bruce realized that someone was missing. The birthday boy himself. Knowing where to look, Bruce found Dick sitting in a giant oak, just watching.

"Hey chum." Bruce said as he climbed up into the branches.

"Hey Bruce." Dick replied

"What are you doing up here?" BRuce asked as he situated himself in the tree.

"Just thinking."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Just been wondoring how well of a job I've been doing." Dick let out a sigh, "I mean I want to make sure that I'm doing what's best for the Team, while making decisions for the Moors, and taking care of Bludhaven."

"Chum, nobody said that you need to juggle so many things at once."

"I have to do it. Who else would do it?"

"Chum, you've been doing so well. And I know that you will be fine. Besides, if you ever need help with the Moors, or Bludhaven, or the Team, you have me and everyone else. We're all willing to help you. So there's no need to over work yourself."

"Yeah, I'll think about that. Well, we should probably head back, before they start wondering where we are."

"There's no rush. I was the only one that noticed that you were gone."

"Let's just stay here for a while." Leaning his head against his father's shoulder, Dick brethed a sigh of relief.

"I love you dad."

"I love you too son."

Nightwing's POV

Well this was my story. I am the son of John and Mary Grayson. I'm the guardian of Bludhaven. I was the first Robin. The leader of a team of super kids. The adopted son of Bruce Wayne, and the son of the freaking Batman. But I'm also the last son of Maleficent. I'm the king of a magical land. And I'm able to turn into a Phoenix. But the best thing in my life is the people and family I have. Yes I may have some problems. Yes there will be times when I just want to give up, but I never do. I push through, and when I get to the end, it's always worth it. With my friends behind me, I'm ready to face the new adventure that may come our way.

Well this is the end of the Rise of the Dark Fae. Please review. I would love to hear your feedback. If you want me to write a sequel , then all you need to do is ask. Then maybe give me some ideas. Later
