Midnight - Young Justice

Getting Away/Time Travel

Just so you know, I'm pretty sure I butchered Nightwing. I'm sorry for the poor unfortunate souls who choose to read this.

Midnight POV

I stared behind Aqualad to Dick, he looked normal, like any other guy at the beach. He smiled, resting on one hip with a bag thrown over his shoulder.

"Miss?" I focused back on Aq... Kalder.

"Um, thank you." I look at the sunset, "I didn't realize how late it was," I grabbed my bag, and quickly threw my towel in it. Thankfully nothing came out.

"Do you live near here?"

My mind raced, I had to force my voice to steady, "Yeah, just up the beach a bit. Thank you, again." I started walking backwards, "Bye." I did an awkward wave to the rest of the team. Dick was looking at me now, trying to see something. I smiled at him, he smiled back. I turned around and jogged up the beach.

It's almost a mile to where I left Sailor, it shouldn't take me too long to get there. How stupid of me! I was so reckless, just because I wanted to see the ocean! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I got to Sailor, and in about thirty seconds I was up and running. How could I have been dumb enough to think seeing the ocean was more important than keeping my life. Between Dick and Superman, I WAS NOT SAFE!

Then my mind snapped at something, what was the team doing there anyway?

I puzzled as Sailor faithfully brought us into Nevada. Night had fully set and the next day had probably come. But my mind was elsewhere.

They worked with the Justice League. OK

They were having a day with the original 6. OK

Why would they come all the way out here?

Wouldn't logic say that they would go to someplace that had meaning to them?

Why not go to Happy Harbor, to the beach there?

Or maybe someplace closer to them, Why come all the way out here?

Was there too many team members around?

Did they think that the place hadn't been proper for them?

In short, them being here, made no sense. At all.

Unless...

The Batcave

Dick's POV

I don't come here often anymore, but I needed to talk to Bruce. Just because she's his daughter, doesn't mean she get's a free pass. I didn't, Tim and Jason never did, Damian... I don't know what's wrong with that kid, but he's still better than Midnight.

Taking the clockevator down I didn't see him immediately, "Bruce! You down here?"

"Father isn't here. What do you want?"

Damian. Just because I said he was better than Midnight doesn't mean that he's 'good.' "Where did he go?"

"Wouldn't tell me. Why?"

"I need something from him."

His eyes narrowed, "Information." It wasn't a question.

"Something like that."

"About what?"

Oh, I really hated this kid, but why not tell him? At the worst, he'll blab it to everyone, and it's not like I'm trying to hide something. "Midnight."
