In the aftermath of Wally's death, Dick chooses to take a step back from his life as a hero.
His family, his friends. He leaves it all behind. Not because he wants to, but because he knows he needs to.
No one will understand what Dick knows in his heart: the only way he can honor his best friend's memory, the only way back for him from Wally's death, is to answer his best friend's unspoken question. Without the mask, who is Dick Grayson?

Nightwing: Heartless
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!'

Alone
Nightwing has been abandoned, first by his mentor, Bruce, then by Wally, his best friend, then by his second family, and now by everyone else. They blame him for what happened to Wally, they blame him for Kaldur almost dying, for Megan getting captured, for the destruction of the cave, and for keeping this all secret from them. Nobody asked him if he wanted to be left in charge, nobody asked him if he was alright during the invasion, nobody seemed to remember that he was only eighteen, nobody seemed to realize that he had to become Batman and protect Gotham along with Bludhaven , and nobody seemed to care about what their words did to him. Everyone knows that stress can hurt you, that you should try to get unstressed when you are stressed. However, some people can't, and so, what happens to them?
