Chapter 18 Old place, New face

Marcia POV

It has been a eight years since I last saw Robin,and I have changed.I am not the same high school girl as I once was. I've grown taller and thinner, my hair longer and thicker. BUT,there are some stuff that hasn't changed. Everyday, the voice in my head the goes,kill,kill,kill is still there, I keep trying to fight it off,but it always comes back and haunts me.

The wolves that followed me on my journey eventually left me for a life of their own, except one. He stayed with and became my only companion. I decided to make his name simple and easy, so I decided to call him Harley.

As I make my way across the cold streets of Gotham,holding Harley's leash as he happily walks down the empty walkway. My katanas were hidden behind my coat,my violin in my other hand. As we both walk down the sidewalk, I had a feeling like I was being watched. I turn around to find nothing, so I just shrugged off that feeling and kept walking. I decided to take a shortcut and walk through an alley. As I walk, I feel a rough hand grab my collar andyank me towards the brick wall. The man in front of me was holding a gun and pointing it to my face. Harley was growling and barking,but the man kicked him in the face and he began to whimper.

He looks back at me,"Give me all your money,or I'll put a bullet to your head." He say.

I smirk,"You are making a bad choice,my friend. You picked the wrong girl and wolf to kick."

"I'm not afraid to shoot you."he says and holds the gun and was about to pull the trigger,when Harley bit his leg and he yelled causing him to drop the gun and let go of my arm. I immediately push him to the floor and grab my katana from my coat and put it against his face.

"Told Ya," I say. He face turns white as a ghost and was terrified. Harley was growling at him.

"Now, I want you to run, run far away from here,and if I see you again in this place. I will personally slit your throat,you got that?" I say. He nods and scatters off.

I put away my katanas and five Harley a treat. I grab a hat from my bag and put it on and walk away.

"Nice to see you again after a few years,Marcia" I hear a familiar voice say.

I look up to see a man with long hair. He was wearing all black and had a blue bird emblem on his chest. He jumps down and his face looked so familiar. Even Harley knew who it was and he started jumping up and down.

"Grayson,it great to see you after so many years." I say,as I give him a hug.

We hug and stayed ther for a few minutes. I missed his sandalwood scent and soft hugs.

He lets go,"You've changed. You grown taller,and beautiful." He says. Harley barks." And you have grown bigger since I saw you,buddy."

He smiles,"What's his name?"

"Harley. You'be changed as well. And what with the mullet? Going for a 90's haircut or something,grandpa?" I smirk.

He smirks,"What are you doing here?"

"Just came here to see the family.You know,being home away for too long and stuff." I say,"Besides I have some unfinished business here."

He was convinced. He told me his car was three blocks from here and that he can wait for me to drive him back at the headquarters after he finishes scouring the city for crime.I nodded and walked off with Harley.

We arrive at Mt.Justice, the whole place blew with happiness and shock. Meghan was different,she was older,but just as kind. Grayson told me that there was another Robin and it was Tim Drake,and he was now,Nightwing. They also introduced me to the new recruits: Blue Beetle,Lagoon Boy,Beast Boy,Wondergirl,Batgirl,Bumblebee, and Zatanna. They were all so kind and sweet. I was looking for Peter,because I haven't seen him in a long time. When I found him,I squeezed the life out of him.Out of everyone that has changed,he changed the most.He was an adult now.He was no longer a reporter and a part time teenage vigialte that I once knew.

"It been so long,sis." He says,smiling.

"You finally grew a beard,Pete.You finally hit puberty?" I scoffed. Everyone was laughing.

"Ha ha,very funny. Come on,where have you been?Why have you been away for so long?"

I sigh,"I just needed some time for myself. I needed to learn how to live and cope with life on this universe before I could come back for good.And I finally did."

"That so cool how you were from another universe and that you could mimic others superpowers." Blue Beetle says,excitedly.

"Yeah,can you demonstrate your powers,please?"Wondergirl pleaded.

I smile,"Well,I can't let down an audience,now can I? Alright. "

I hold my hands out and say, " I need a volunteer to lend me their powers for a this demonstration."

Peter said he can let me use his powers.He grabs my hands.I felt his powers coarse through my veins. He lets go of my hands and I begin to shoot webs and climb walls. There a was a lot of ooo's and ahh's from the audience. I got down from the ceiling and bowed. Everyone clapped.
"I'm not done yet,kids. That was only the beginning."
I hold my hand out and three vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around my arm,then I made a small fireball and it burned off the vines,I hold my palm out and a bubble of water floats towards me and falls into my arm and then I pick up a stone and began twirling it in mid-air.

"Fascinating," Blue Beetle says.

"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me,It has been a long day,and I need a place to rest."

"We have your old bed,still untouched,and some of your old clothes." Superboy says.

I smile,"Thanks"

I walk to my room,with Harley at my feet. It felt nice to be back home to my friends. Especially Grayson. He has changed so much. He was hot,with his chiseled jaw and broad chest and toned body. I wouldn't be surprised if he dated anybody after I left him.

I walked into my room,Harley jumped onto my bed and began sniffing it. It does look the same,I thought. I set my stuff down and admire my old room.

"We didn't want to take it down because we had hope that you might come back and change your mind." I hear Grayson voice behind me. I smile and turn around. He was leaning on the wall and smiling. He's so hot,I thought to myself.

"Well,you were right,and I'm not leaving for a long time."I say.

He closes the door behind him and smirks. I raise my right eyebrow and smile,"Gray,what are you doing?"
He doesn't respond. He comes up to me and wraps his arm around my waist. I felt my heart beat so fast.

"Did you miss me?"I ask.He smiles and leans in and kissed me. It felt amazing to touch his lips again. I kiss back passionately.

"There's not a day that went by that I didn't think of you,baby." He says and kisses me again.

"I missed you too,Boy Wonder."

He whispers in my ear,"Say it backwards."

I giggle as I kiss him again,"I missed you,Wonder Boy."

(A/N : Hey Heroes,sorry I haven't been posting in a while.I haven't had much sleep and I was moving houses over the winter break. Now that that's done,I can now post more frequently.

I hope you like the touch I added with Grayson becoming Nightwing. Thought I give some love to the Nightwing lovers out there*points to self*,I see you there (^3^)

Anyway, peace out, my heroes and villains.
