A/N: That is a picture of Nightwing with a ton of scars on his back.  Ouch!  Sorry this one is really bad.....

Damian's P.O.V

"Agh!"

I woke up suddenly to the sound of my own scream.  I guess I had been tossing and turning that night, as I saw that my pillows and blankets were scattered everywhere.  I sighed and put my pillows and blankets back on my bed.

But I couldn't go back to sleep.

Only one solution.

I got out of bed and walked across the hall, opening a door and walking in.

Grayson lay on his bed, everything seemed normal, at first.

His window was open.  He always had it open, in case of night patrol's and such.  His bed was by the window, because after a patrol, he normally jumps into the window and then on his bed.  I don't think it's effective but, you know... His carpet was crooked as usual and pictures of me and the rest of the family littered the wall.  But the three photos he treasured most were on his nightstand.  Pictures with the people he treasured most.  Secretly I'm proud that I'm one of them.

The first one was Grayson and West and Harper.  West and Harper were really touchy subjects in the manor but from what I got from it, when Grayson moved in at age 9, West and Harper were his first friends, and they considered themselves as brothers.  I know Grayson blames himself for West's death, he can't seem to get over it.  I get they were 'brothers' and all, but I don't know why they were so close.  I've met West a couple times, he's very nice, and funny.  He likes to eat a lot.   I was kinda sad when he died, but Grayson took it the hardest.  Father once yelled at him to get his head in the game, because he was looked like he was finished living.  I know he still hasn't gotten over it.  Harper gave up on life, he lived on the street, until he found his clone person or something.  He has a family and Grayson visits them often.  Anyway, the picture was of them at a young age.  Probably 9, 11, 14.  I love to stare at Grayson when he was young.  He looks so different!  Weak is the word that comes to mind, but I know he is the opposite.  They all stood on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  Looks like Grayson had been crying, I'll ask him sometime about that.

The second was a picture of him with his old team.  The Young Justice.  I will soon be part of it, apparently.  They were dressed in civvies.  Grayson must have been 13.  Grayson was wearing his sunglasses and was on a swing looking thingy.  But I knew better.  It was a trapeze bar.  He was sitting on it, it was low to the ground.  His team stood around it.  On the far left was Conner Kent.  From what I get from Grayson is that he is half son of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent.  Next to him is a martian.  Megan Morzz, comes from Mars apparently and was 'white'?  I dunno.  Next to her was Kaldur'Ahm.  He is an Atlantean, he is very serious, he's their leader, though I think Grayson is the superior leader.  Grayson is next on his trapeze bar, and West was next to him.  Artemis Crock was next to West, she is the daughter of crooks.  Bleugh.  I don't know why Grayson likes her.  But then again, she did lose her boyfriend, so I will not be too harsh.

The last picture is my favorite.  It's Grayson and me.  He is hugging me and I am glaring at him.  It is amazing.  But I still love it.  Oh, the glare though.  It's so amazing!

After I stared at it for a while, I hopped onto Grayson's bed.  And then I found what was wrong.  Grayson had his shirt on.  Okay.  Okay. I get it.  It sounds weird, but Grayson never sleeps with his shirt on, because he knows I don't like it.  When he wears his shirt I can't feel his chest or hear the comfort of his heartbeat. 

I looked at the shirt.  Then I lifted it up, I needed to know why he had it on.

Then I knew why.  It has been two days after the Court of Owls incident, the time he sacrificed himself for me.  And everybody else.  For me.
