Party Time

This chapter -  the team enjoys a party for the holidays/celebrate end of invasion and Kaldur finally learns Robin's identity (finally).

It is set after season two around the holidays, Wally is back (he doesn't die - fight me).

As usual once sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes and any OCCness.

Hope you enjoy.

It had been an incredibly stressful year in Nightwing's mind, between his friends going undercover into enemy lines, training a team, looking after family (especially with his siblings), running Wayne Enterprises, going to college, being Batman and being Nightwing. Yeah, a stressful year was putting it lightly. However, it was finally almost over. The League were back on Earth, Kaldur and Artemis had returned mostly unharmed from undercover work and even Wally had thankfully escaped the speed force.

The team were recovering from the invasion and the Mountain was being rebuilt. It is a slow process, due it being blown into billions of pieces. However, everyone was happy to help as almost everyone, including the League had happy memories of the Mountain. It had been their home for so long. At the minute the team was staying at the Watch Tower with the League, but Nightwing was still (secretly) converting the warehouse into a liveable, comfortable base/safe house just in case of accidents or emergencies. It also meant he had a safe place to go himself and for any others he was training.

The League and team wanted to relax and de-stress after the year they had had. So, they had decided with it being the holidays and after everything earlier in the year they needed to have a bit of fun, and what better way to celebrate than a party. The party was in truth a mixture of a welcome home party for the Leaguers, Artemis, Kaldur and Wally as well as a holiday celebration and a congratulation to the team for coping so well under all the pressure.

The party was in full swing at the Watch Tower. Music was blaring, talk echoed everywhere, drinks were being shared, some people were dancing and others were enjoying the food. The Watch Tower had been heavily decorated with a mixture of Christmas decorations and normal decorations for those who do and do not celebrate Christmas. There was a Christmas tree in one corner, tinsel hanging on the walls and fairy lights everywhere. Alongside them were party streamers and banners. Leaguers and the team members mixed. In one corner Impulse was talking with Blue Beetle and Captain Marvel, in another Zatanna stood with Rocket and Bumblebee.

Nightwing however had left the main room silently in favour of a small, quiet room for a breather. It had large windows looking down upon Earth and was painted a light grey, the room was actually meant for storage but it had somehow managed to remain empty for all the years the Tower had been working. They had just never needed it so it never really got used. Nevertheless it served his purpose of hiding. He'd discovered it years ago and kept it secret, as a place to retreat to for some time on his own.

He felt the need to hide because he still wasn't quite comfortable with everyone else. Although most of them had managed to forgive him, he still received a few angry stares. If he was being honest though, he hadn't really forgiven himself for putting his friends in danger like he had. He had never wanted to be like Batman, sacrificing everything for a mission, but this year had put him almost exactly in that position.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't hear the approaching footsteps or opening of the door. He was only broken out of his spiralling thoughts by the cries of his former best friend (he wasn't sure where they stood at the minute).

"I told you he'd be out here." Nightwing didn't need to see him to tell there was a giant smirk upon his friend's face. He tensed slightly, cautious of how this conversation may go. He kept his eyes on the Earth below.
