Epilogue

Windshield wipers thumped from side to side and they swiped away the rain.

The car was silent, save for the soft breathing of the toddlers strapped into their safety seats towards the back of the vehicle. Nightwing, formerly Robin, kept a firm grip on the steering wheel as he drove.

Movement came from his right, and he glanced over to see his wife turning to peer at the slumbering little ones.

"The bumgorfs surely exhausted themselves, did they not?" she murmured softly. Nightwing chuckled.

"Yeah well, you know how Mar'i is. She and little Ches seem to get in all sorts of trouble together."

Starfire hummed in agreement, her gaze lingering on the children. "I wonder what Chester shall think of his new little sibling?" she wondered aloud. Nightwing shrugged, shooting the Tamaranean a grin.

"Who knows? With him it could go either way."

At this, Starfire giggled. "Very true Richard," she said. "Very true."

The child in question was quite the troublemaker. It was hard not to be having inherited his mother's powers. Nightwing could remember the time he and Starfire had first babysat Chester, only to have him disappear for two hours. He had only been eight months old.

His parents had simply been amused when they'd found out, after all the toddler had shown signs of his powers pretty much straight from the womb. It was still nerve wracking for him and Starfire though, after all Mar'i never disappeared.

Though she could fly.

Nightwing pulled into the hospital parking lot and eased the car into a spot. By a stroke of luck, there was a spot close to the entrance, and the two heroes quickly gathered the children and diaper bags before trotting inside and away from the rain.

After getting the room number from the starstruck receptionist, Nightwing and Starfire walked down the maternity wing. It didn't take long to find the room they were looking for, and Starfire knocked gently on the doorframe as they poked their heads inside.

Three heads whipped to the doorway and an exited shout met their ears.

"Hey guys!" Cyborg cried. He leapt up from his chair and crossed the distance to the doorway, throwing his arms over the couple.

"Hello friend Cyborg!" Starfire laughed. Nightwing chuckled as well, glad to see his old friend. Cyborg let them go and dragged them into the room.

"Here, come see the little lady of the hour," he said, guiding them over to Raven's bedside.

The empath was cuddled contentedly in the crisp hospital sheets, the green arms of her husband wrapped around her shoulders as he leaned close. Nestled in Raven's arms was a small little bundle, and a grin broke out on Nightwing's face at the sight of green wisps of hair sticking up off the infant's head.

"Oh Raven," Starfire breathed. "She's beautiful!"

"Thanks," she said. "She certainly has her father's charm."

Changeling scoffed beside her, but didn't argue. Nightwing could tell that the baby girl already had her father wrapped around her fingers, after all Mar'i had the same effect on him.

"What's her name?" Nightwing asked.

Raven and Changeling shared a knowing glance.

"We were thinking...Isabella."

The End
