Character: Nightwing<br/>Location: Zatanna's Room<br/>Tag: Zatanna<br/>Time: Saturday night<br/><hr/>"If you call midnight being  'all night' then I'm starting to wonder if you really knew the boy wonder." He said with a knowing smirk, calling her bluff. He knew she never had a show that started after eleven at night. The need to keep tabs on people, even if you don't communicate with them, that's what you start doing when the Batman is your mentor.<br/><br/>Then she mentioned the letters. Getting right to business. The letters in particular were something he felt really bad about, though it wasn't all necessarily his fault. While her letters arrives to Wayne manor, Richard wasn't living there any more. Alfred left the letters with Bruce, who made no action on them. The only letter he ended up receiving was her last one, which Alfred took it upon himself to hand deliver to Richard in Bludhaven. Even then it took him almost a month to read it. Not because he didn't want to, but because he was afraid of what it might have said. He felt almost certain she hated him for vanishing like he did.<br/><br/>She still cared about him though even now, he could tell she did. Over five years, and she still did, which in Richards mind told him then and there, their relationship had much more meaning than teenage puppy love. "I'm sorry.." He started, "I was a bastard thinking I wasn't hurting anyone by vanishing. I got a single letter, likely your last based on how it was worded, Bruce had all the others.." It was something he still held against Bruce. Even when he was supposed to be out of the Dark Knight's shadow, he was still trying to manipulate Dick's life.<br/><br/>It was then he realized why he had joined the Titans to begin with, why the Teen Titans were first formed. To get away from the shadows that towered over them. For Raven, Escaping her fathers shadow, for Robin and Aqualad, escaping the shadows of their mentors, for Cyborg a new lease on Life, Beast Boy, proving  that Martian Manhunter wasn't the only good Martain, and Starfire, a group of friends in this alien world to her.<br/><br/>Richard sat next to her, leaving one of his hands between them, unable to think of any more words to say in the split moment "I'm Sorry..."
