14:44 - Titan's Tower.
Dick Grayson, once the youngest member of the Flying Grayson's acrobat troop. Then Robin, the sidekick, to the mythical Batman. Now Nightwing, a hero in his own right, hadn't even had a day to recuperate from his journey to Gotham, when Bruce had called him back to the City of Darkness.
Or more specifically, he'd been called to Bludhaven, the city he had once been protector of, before he decided to hand his role to Tim and Stephanie, while he moved to Jump to live with his then-girlfriend Kori and divert 100% of his effort into training younger heroes.
He had just finished packing his bag for the second time in two days, when Kori had entered their bedroom.
"You're leaving again?" - She questioned, fiddling with the ring on her right hand.
"Yeah, I'm sorry," - He zipped up his bag. - "Bruce just called, Prometheus and his partner, are apparently on route to Bludhaven, so I've been asked to help him find him."
"You do know the city better than anyone," - She said, taking a seat on the foot of their bed, while Dick went into their bathroom, to collect his toothbrush and a few toiletries. - "So why are they heading to Bludhaven? I thought you said last night, that Prometheus, arrived in Gotham?"
Dick walked back into their room, and put a smaller bag into his main one. - "From what I heard, they're looking for the Penguin, and at the moment he's in hiding."
"When do you think you'll be back?"
Slinging his bag over his shoulder, Dick gave it a quick thought. - "It should take no longer than three days." - He answered, giving his wife a small smile.
Kori stood up. - "I'll see you in three days then." - She stated, pulling Dick into a hug, and giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I'm going to go tell the other Titan's that I'll be gone for the next few days." - Dick stated, once the two separated. - "Do you think you'll have any trouble handling them without me?"
His wife gave him a look. - "It'll probably be easier without you here." - She bantered back.
"You say that known, but we both know that out of the two, I have a better connection with the Titans than you do."
"That's only because you still act like you're fifteen."
Dick chuckled. - "See you in three days." - He remarked, before exiting their bedroom.
As he headed for the the common room, where he knew, most of the Titan's would be, during their free time. His eyes drifted along the many photographs each depicting a different variation of the team.
First, it was the original team, consisting of Speedy, Kid Flash, Beast-Boy, Bumblebee and himself. Followed up by a picture taken just a year later, which had a team consisting of the same members as the previous year, but with the addition of Kori.
The next few photo's showed the Titan's changing over the years, some members left the team, going off to be their own heroes. Some younger heroes, who needed a bit of guidance joined.
The twenty-eight year old, stopped a specific photo, one taken just five years prior, but to him, felt like a decade. It was taken on the bridge outside the tower, and had one of the smaller team's the Titans had had in recent years. It only had six members.
Kori and him stood on opposite sides of the bridge, with Beast-Boy, Blue-Beetle, Terra, Raven, and Robin between them. It had been a sour year for the Titans, they learned Tara had been a double-agent working for Deathstroke, before handing them over to Brother Blood. Though, Deathstroke, betrayed her, which led to he, Hive and Brother Blood to do battle with the Titans.
