Light of the Midnight: You Are My Constellation (A Nightwing Fanfiction)

Eleven: Visitor

“And so; angered, Kilius murdered the Queen,” Destiny concluded from her spot.

Villelda had been weeping. Her mother, the Queen of Ageratia had been murdered by Villelda’s soon-to-be prince.

“Why do people kill other people?” Misty asked me quietly as we began walking to the Denominator.

“People kill other people for different reasons. Love, hate, envy, vengeance. You know that,” I said as the hatch door opened. I grabbed hold of the wheeling cell the Queen’s murderer was in.

 Dragging him up the ramp was hard. Orion and Phoenix helped me, whereas Misty went into the bridge. After placing Killius in his temporary cell, I took my seat.

“Something else…” She trailed as we took off.

“Anything; you know that.”

“Say…say you really liked someone, but you were afraid, that someone could never like you back. What do you do?”

I sighed, worried that I’d give the wrong answer. “Well…I know you might not want to tell me; but who are we talking about?"

For a while, she stared up at me with big innocent green eyes, before sighing in defeat and removing her mask. "Robin."

I almost did a triumphant fist pump. As mine and Dick's genius had predicted; Laurel Destiny and Robin have become even more like their mentors. The Teal Heart and the Boy Wonder.

"Oh," was all I said, before my fourteen year old self took over. "Misty and Tim, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

Instead of yelling she blushed and looked away. Misty barely loses her temper. "So what happened with Tanner then?" I asked as we sped towards Oa.

"That's just it...I'm still with tanner."

Upon hearing that, my foot slammed on the break. "Misty Thompson you better not be planning to cheat on that boy," I said, pointing at her.

"No! I was going to break up with him...I mean I will..."

After that she put her earphones in, signalling she didn't want to talk to me. Okay then. Pulling into the Oa prison gates, some guards came over and removed Killius from his hold.

We reported back out success to the Guardians, before returning to Earth. It has been two week since we left as we predicted. I was excited to see Nightwing.

"Denominator to cave; open the hangar please," I said to my com.

"Acknowledged. Welcome home," his voice said. It made me smile.

Landing in the hangar, Misty got out and ran inside. I locked the ship and scooped up Marie, Garfield's puppy, who had run through the door.
