Art is not mine, but it is so fucking beautiful!! (And I kinda died because of it...)
YJ between season 1-2 (Kaldur is already on Manta's side)/Batbrothers: fun/sad
Guess how it all started. You're right, a covert mission! *Clearing throat* Sorry for stating the obvious. So, what do you think went wrong this time? Well, the title kinda gives it away... but I'm gonna tell you anyway! So, I don't know about you, but I ate all the popcorn last time, so I brought cookies! Who wants one? Good, now that everything is taken care of, let's get started.
Rain. Nightwing hated rain. Is had been raining when his parents had fallen to their deaths and it had been raining when Bruce told him that Jason wouldn't be coming back home. Rain meant pain and in Gotham, it always rains.
Bruce had once taken him to Island and the other tourists he'd met had been complaining about the bad weather, but Dick just said, "Everybody has something to cry about, what makes you think the sky doesn't?" One tourist- a middle aged woman- had looked at him like, what the fuck?
Yes, Dick was a very poetic person. Well, not really, but do you know this moment, when you just want to say something, no matter how brainless it sounds? No? Well, I do and Dick does apparently too, but back to the story.
Rain was dripping from Nightwing's shoulders as he stood on a rooftop, observing the dark and misty streets of the town he once called home, the city that had been his for so many years. "Why do we have to patrol when it's like 33 degrees?" Complained Wally, who stood next to the former Boy Wonder. He could hear Artemis groan. "Because Batman is out of town and told us to patrol Gotham until he's back, because we have the most experience and are the original team members. Gotham is Robin's city too, so it's only logical that he's with us. Seriously, how many times do I have to explain it to you?"
Wally stuck his tongue out at her and pouted.
"Uh, Wing, why do you look so... annoyed?" M'gann sounded slightly worried as she pulled everyone's attention toward the twenty-four year old. The hero didn't turn around and kept his eyes on the seemingly deserted streets of Gotham. He wasn't happy that Batman had asked the team to come to Gotham. Gotham was a dangerous place and if you don't look out, the city will consume you. "There are rules in Gotham," he answered in a monoton voice. "One, don't get distracted. That's always ending with death and believe me, you don't want to die in Gotham.
Two, don't talk while on patrol. There are ears everywhere and no matter what, do not say your real names or get captured. There's no thief nor rapist that would hesitate to hurt or kill you." Robin, who stood next to him, glanced at his older brother knowingly and Wally gulped at his usually always hyperactive and enthusiastic best frien. Dick was like a completely different person here and Wally didn't like it one bit. What was this city doing to him? As he threw a quick glance at Tim he realised, that both birds were much more serious and sad when they operated in Gotham."We only have to check the southern parts of the industrial area, then we can call it a night," said Wally yawning, changing the topic in an attempt to break the awkward silence that followed Nightwing's statement.
Nightwing and Robin exchanged slightly panicked glances. "Maybe we should leave that part of the city alone for now. It's almost sunrise. We can go there tomorrow night again." Conner shrugged unimpressed. "Sunrise is in one and a half hour. We shouldn't take that long to get to the industrial area and back to the mountain." M'gann nodded. "Superboy is right. We should be able to get there and back in one hour maximum." Wally groaned. "Can we go then? I wanna go to bed!" He grabbed Artemis and sped to the southern part of Gotham. The others quickly followed, leaving Robin and Nightwing alone on the rooftop. "Should we follow them?" Asked the younger boy uncertainly. They both really didn't want to, but did they even have a choice? Dick sighed. "I guess. Let's just hope he has finished his business there and is already gone. I really don't know how to explain to the team how we know him."
"And why we tolerate him."
"Yeah. That would be awkward."
Tim crossed his arms. "I just hope we won't find any bodies, I hate awekard moments."
"Me too, but we should go now, because it would really not be good if the team meets him while we're not there..."
The two members if the batfamily took out their grabbing guns and jumped off the rooftop.
