Robin took Starfire's hand and looked out at the Tokyo skyline. It had been a crazy few days, and Beast Boy was still singing karaoke in broken japo-english, much to everyones irritation. But that was ok, he was with Starfire and well, they were finally together. Things were as they should be. As they were meant to be.

It was strange being looked at as the bad guy here; he hadn't been treated like a criminal since well.. since other Robin. Not that any of the others remembered him. Not even Starfire knew. Sometimes Robin wondered if he'd dreamed up those crazy few days of running around in another boy's skin, but then he remembered the friends he'd made. And the enemies he'd fought. Those people were real. Crazy enough as that sounds. There was another Robin and he was almost, but not quite, the same as this one. And they'd made a great team together.

"Robin, is something wrong? Am I doing the holding of the hands incorrectly?" Starfire asked suddenly, breaking his thoughts.

"Huh? Uh no, Star, i was just, I was just remembering an old friend." He replied with a grin.

"Oh, really? And who is this friend? Do I know him?" She asked looking at him head on with those emeralds for eyes.

"Not really, but I have a lot in common with him. I might have to try and call him up one of these days. Larry might be able to do it."

"Larry? Really?"

"Yea. Really."

He held her hand tighter and for the first time in a while felt truly sure of himself.

Nightwing sat on the makeshift cot in the warehouse where the Team was staying. Mount Justice was gone. Aqualads mind.. broken. Kid Flash, angrier than ever. Artemis is out of reach and M'gann is hopefully with her. Hopefully.

Where did i go wrong? How did I mess up? Did I try to spin too many things at once? I just wanted to do what had to be done to keep people safe. To take down the light. Instead now my friends are all in trouble and I'm left in my secrets. What had I been thinking? Trying to do absolutely anything to get the job done. I should have put myself in the front lines; not my friends.

This is just like when Starfire… oh wow. He hadn't thought about her in years. He smiled weakly at the memory of the red haired green eyed alien princess; so naive and at the same time, the wisest person in the room. And he'd gone and hurt her to help her. Urgh! Why am I so dumb. Why am I always so desperate to get things back to the… well, back to the aster?

He had to do something. Something big. Something that would fix anything? But what? How could he possibly clean up his mess now? Easy, I remember just what makes a Robin a Robin. And hope that that still holds to Nightwing.

Wonder what happened to other Robin? Did he become Nightwing too? Did he and Starfire ever hook up? Well, he'd never know. But he sure would give anything to have someone level headed tell him how to make things right.

Maybe he could try and call him, after all, why not?

Thanks for hanging on for the ride everybody! I can't believe how long this thing became *,* And to think originally it was just going to be a drabble. I want to thank you all for your support and nice comments! You people are what really made me keep going with this, even when at times I seemed at a loss for what other horrors I could drop on the bird boys. So thanks to all of you :D

And who knows, keep an eye on this BATAUTHOR she might do something even crazier next :D
