Her biggest fear is of herself. -- Seventeen year old Jessica Stacey-Lance went from a preteen with severe anger management issues and trauma to a teenager who makes out (read: sleeps) with her almost-step-brother's best friend and struggles to pass her Spanish class. She's always come off as normal - as normal as one can be when they're unknowingly surrounded by superheroes and hiding a secret backstory. But one night changes everything. While Jess has always stayed out of the loop, a chaotic power she thought was long gone has come back and it's caught the attention of some dangerous people. Suddenly, dealing with her feelings for Richard Grayson, trading scathing insults with Roy and trying to keep her best friends (and herself) out of trouble have all become the least of her worries. She's a little busy keeping a secret that, if outed, could lead to others finding out a lot more than just the fact that she can hold crumbling bridge together or contain explosions that could destroy ten story buildings. But sometimes, death and destruction follow regardless of your secrets. Jessica is about to find out that accepting the part of yourself that scares you the most is the only way to defeat your demons... that the power inside of her that can bring Superman to his knees is more than a weapon - it's a part of her that will not be denied, no matter the consequences. This is a Dick Grayson/Young Justice fanfic. It's not totally canonically correct and dismisses a large portion of the second season. Honestly you could probably read this with only knowledge of the general info on DC comics and be fine.

Sequel to Nightwing: Heartless Willa has built a life without Dick Grayson. She's run away from Gotham and anything to do with superheroes to process and move on from her trauma. That is, until she's forced to relive her past under the thumb of Gretchen Goode and Lex Luthor. To get what she wants, she has to work and play nice with supervillains. Dick Grayson has kept himself busy as Nightwing. He's made it his personal mission to end the rising epidemic of meta-teen trafficking, but his mission brings the wrong kind of attention to Nightwing. When Lex Luthor makes a veiled threat to a certain ex-girlfriend, Dick comes back into Willa's life, with the intention of stepping right back out once the danger has passed. Simple, right? Behind the scenes, Lex Luthor, Gretchen Goode, and the League of Shadows each have ulterior motives. Working together, and apart, they zero in on Nightwing and the Bat Family. The action packed sequel to Nightwing: Heartless deals with love, loss, trauma, and what it means to be a hero. Highest Rankings: #1 youngjusticeseason3 #1 red hood

Nightwing is great at looking strong. He's holding it together after the death of the second Robin, Jason, about to send one of his best friends undercover, and is leader of the Team. If that wasn't enough, something is stirring among the League of Shadows, something personal. Against Nightwing. At the same time, Dick Grayson is a student at Gotham University, struggling to find a balance between hero life and a regular life, trying to discern if there could even be a balance, or if he wants one. Then he meets a girl. A beautiful, smart, girl, full of life and laughter that makes Dick second guess his choices and the direction his life is on. It all comes to a head in this action packed story about heroes, legacy, and love. ------------------------ I've read lots of stories on here and thought, 'hey, maybe I can do that, too!' Give it a read and let me know. Loosely follows Season 2 timeline of Young Justice.
