A chat in the cave,(Miraculous Ladybug X DCU)

bienvenue en Amérique

It was a typical morning rush.

One could feel the energy of the people as they hurriedly shuffle between destinations. This was part and parcel of the city life. And to the many who had jobs to do and  places to be, it could be stressful.But to those who didn't have that sort of schedule, it allowed for a certain amount of..... "people watching."

Dick Grayson (codename: Nightwing) sat contently at the Krispy Kreme, Located In Grand Central station..

Officially, Richard "Dick" John Grayson,The first adopted son of high-class Multi-Billionaire Bruce Wayne was a retired cop, And a world renowned Olympic gymnastics athlete.

To be honest, being a cop wasn't all that it was expected. Especially for someone with such a hectic nightlife as Dick Grayson.

Currently his main "official job " was part time gymnastic trainer and stunt  choreography advisor. When he wasn't training the youth for high precision exercises and gymnastic skills he was advising cinematographers who were operating in the New York area..

(conveniently, This also allowed for Nightwing to  be  able to perform as full leader The TITANS in New York City as well.)

Right now, he was visiting Gotham but his true home was in New York City.

Blüdhaven was a phase..  a dark phase in his life, One without his partners and friends helping him keeping him from his darkest moments. Personally dick was grateful he was out of that phase. It was a tragedy that it took the Blockbuster, slade  and that rapist bitch Catalina to ruined the city for him.

Dick Grayson was grateful for the epiphany he had one night.

(Years ago when he was contemplating leaving)

Dick was always better with a community of Heroes. He was always more happy, More free when he was doing space missions And intergalactic networking them.

Yet here he was alone. He couldn't keep doing this, if he wanted to stay healthy.

He couldn't stay and let this city that constantly broke his spirit be the final curtain call for this  Acrobat.

So after many years of blood sweat and tears, Nightwing left blüdhaven.

That didn't mean others wouldn't take his place. Heros were like Hydras ,if one hang up on the cape another would likely take their place.

But it did mean that Nightwing would no longer prowl the streets  of blüdhaven at night as if he was a vigilante in Gotham.

And Dick was happy for it

It was like the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders just a little bit,so that he may rearrange himself..

Currently his life was simple, He had a wife, He had A kid and he had a good relationship with his old mentor. Enough to do a favor for the guy.that let him here in Gotham Grand Central.

In one hand, The  40-year-old hero held a Custom-Made sign that  read" bienvenue en Amérique, Adrian et Marinette"

In the other hand was a cup of hot chocolate..

If he had some tape on him, he probably would have taped the wooden handle of the sign to the table. But right now he had to hold it.

Besides Dick Grayson was his platonia soulmate, Donna Troy. (Code name: Troia) an absolutely wonderful woman  with lovely  raven black hair and enchanting smile.

true, many often were quick to assume that she and Dick Grayson were siblings.

Much too many disappointments they were not blood related. But that didn't mean they weren't close as siblings could be. They were besties a terror duo.
