Reflections of a GraysonThe night stretches on before my weary eyes. The white lenses of my black mask stuck to my face make that invisible. Far below the edge of the rooftop that I'm on, and stretching on in the distance until the coastline stops it, the city of Gotham lets out a radiant glow. The wind blows strongly on this rooftop-the highest one, the one that lets you see where the city's glow meets the dark air of night. It's almost awe-inspiring. In fact, I would be quite blown away-
not in a literal sense-if I hadn't been here a thousand times before. I've had different identities over the years, but I'm still me...
Nine-year-old Dick Grayson. My parents

Seeing Blood The streets were hard. I was on my own. Fending for myself, fighting for my life. I did anything to survive. But that was before I was picked up by the urban myth.
Things were simple. There were good guys, and bad guys. I was a good guy. Filled with hopes, dreams, ambitions that I could chase. And yet, the lingering doubts were pushed back. They came and went-mostly when I took care of a guy in a corny costume. That was what made it do simple-we came in the nick of time. Nobody died. The bad guy never won.
Things were different then. But that was before the sick and twisted came into play...people died. I was one of them.
I wa

The MaskI've always wondered what it's like to be normal.To be sinful and unknown. My real name is Dick Grayson, I am Nightwing, I was Robin, but right now I'm seeking my own self.

I'm a guardian of the night. I have protected Gotham city, Metropolis, and the world alike for the sake of justice.

Justice. The only moral code I live by. The only thing that has kept me alive. Justice. The only hope for humanity.

Countless times I've gone out into the city as Nightwing, and my former self, Robin. Being a Teen Titan and the leader of the Young Justice League, keeping my identity secret has been crucial. But sometimes I wonder... What would it be like

The light, it glowsI sit at the white table on my own.
Staring at the morning haze,
flooding the room through circler windows.
Lights go out.
The windows,
they glow as if it was summer.

Listening.
I near multiple voices,
girls,
boys,
people laughing,
people coughing,
people making rollups,
people sorting paper.

That one guy opposite me.
Staring.
I stair back,
unblinking.
Yet we have never spoken,
yet, we keep staring.
Hate,
disgust,
wonder,
I cannot tell.

Family My name is Jason Todd. Ex-Boy Wonder, current Red Hood. "Ex-Boy Wonder?" You may ask. "But how can someone as brutal as the Red Hood have ever worn pixie boots and scaly underwear?" Well, I wasn't always this brutal. In fact, I used to be a pretty good kid, until the Joker got his hands on me. What do I mean by that? I mean the Joker beat me nearly to death with a crow bar and then blew me up. "But that's not possible." You say. "Batman wouldn't have let that happen. And besides, if you were really blown up, you would be dead." Well, Batman did let it happen. Not only that, but he let the Joker get away with it, too! And I did die, thank you very much. But for reasons still unknown, I came back. I dug myself out of my own grave and basically wondered around without a brain until Talia found me. She's kind of like Bruce's girlfriend, or at least she thinks so. I'm pretty sure she only threw me in the Lazarus Pit because she

Alright, It's Decision Time!Hey Guys Henry Here!

Alright it's time to discuss. I really want to know from a girl's/Woman's point
of view! This is a serious question and I want to know if a girl can decide!
Who's the hottest Assassin of Assassins Creed? Altair, Ezio or Connor? If your
a Desmond lover.... Surprising how you didn't choose an Assassin that just you
know beat the crap out of Templars back then!
I'm placing my vote for the hot Native american instead of that seductive Italian
and that charming Arabian. Reason why? Well Connor sort of you know, had that
voice who spoke courageously and face who doesn't find a guy who talks the talk
and walks the walk all manly hot? Also do you see how buff he is? When I first started
playing his pecs (Chest) were popping, talk about a guy who bench lifts bears for a
living. No I'm not judging him based on his appearance More on his amazing
body... So fucking hot.
Haha alright but as a character, he was so understanding and stubborn. He never really

Young Justice Merry ChristmasGotham City, Batcave.

"Come on Bruce." Nightwing said in a tone of trying to get his old mentor in the Holiday Spirit. "Yeah. Batman." Robin chimed in. "It's Christmas. Even Supervillains can take a break during the Holidays." Batman was still not too moved as he and his young protges made their way to the Batmobile. "Need I remind you what happened last Christmas with Poison Ivy and those Killer Christmas trees?" He stated. A chill went down Dick and Tim's spines remembering that little nightmare. Batman looked at his wards then (only slightly) Softened. "Tell You what." He said. "If it's all clear this one patrol, We'll call it an Early ni

Future Story: Two BirdsRobin ran across the rooftops of Gotham. The teen vigilante flipped over walls and glided over alleyways. He had grown a lot since he started this role, and was beginning to have his father's build. He was stronger, faster; the perfect heir to the legacy. However, he had to meet one of his fellow vigilantes; a young man who he'd grown up with, who he had trained, who was beginning to make a name for himself. Robin stopped on a rooftop in the middle of Midtown Gotham and waited. He didn't need to wait long, his compatriot came rocketing towards him.

The young man, a year younger than Robin, arrived using the rocket pack he built into his armo

"FOOTBALL!"

"MOVIE!"

"FOOTBALL YOU WUSS!"

"MOVIE YOU DICK!"

"I AM NOT GRAYSON!"

"OBVIOUSLY, HE'D BE WATCHING THE MOVIE!"

Damian and Sam tussled over the remote; surprisingly Sam, the smaller boy, was giving Damian a run for his money due to his training under Nightwing and his brother.

Said brother grabbed the remote from Damian. "Now now you two; behave." Joseph smirked as the two boys kept trying to grab the remote. Joseph instead tossed the remote to Dick, who was laughing in the

Far Away Chapter Five-Worry

Finally back in the Nightbird, Nightwing breathed a long sigh of relief and then a yelp when the communication light flashed on. Harriet was up-he was doomed!

"Master Richard-what do you think you are doing?"

Her voice was loud, yet deep-as always. It had been a constant source of comfort at a younger age for him but at times like these now…

"Turn on the news Harriet-you'll see where I was tonight."

"There had better be a good reason!"

Yep. All the news channels were already covering it. It was only about two minutes later that his Maid called back and with an uncharacteristically soft voice and transcribed her concerns.

The Teen Titans are staying at Wayne Manor for some reason, and Kon and Cassie are having relationship issues due to the love triangle with them and Tim. Kon is sitting on the front stairs as Joseph and Sam pull into the driveway.

Joseph: Something wrong, Superboy?

Sam: You look upset.

Superboy: Cassie and I had an argument. It's like ever since we came here, Tim's been able to show off and seem like to be the perfect boyfriend: rich, athletic....

Joseph: An easy mark.

Superboy: I dunno; it seems like she loves him though.

Sam: Maybe she does.

Joseph: Sam, not helping...Well, fight for her.

Superboy: I thought it

The Nightwing PledgeI pledge to live,no matter what. To always stick up for what's good and just. To share tears and laughter,for years and years. To experience loss,agony,and strife. In this crazy game we call life. So despite our wings of night,may we continue towards the light.
Rest in peace :iconnightwing187:

Second ChanceSeveral times before, Dick Grayson had been certain he was going to die. Like when he had been shot while still in the Robin costume. Or when he had been injured by Alexander Luthor Jr. during the Metropolis battle. Or when Dr. Hurt shot him in the back of the head. Most recently, it had been when his grandfather-turned-Talon William Cobb had stabbed him in the chest.

"Still," Nightwing muttered to himself, lying in a steadily growing pool of his own blood on a Gotham rooftop, "somehow, I don't think I'm getting out of this one."

He hadn't even seen the gunman until mere milliseconds before the trigger was pulled, and by then he hadn't had

Last chance for YJ toys!

Just a heads up to all you Young Justice fans out there, Matty-Collector is offering one last opportunity for us to all get our hands on brand new YJ figures, specifically Miss Martian and Superboy in his Season 2 outfit. If there are enough pre-orders they will ship the toys, if not we get a refund, which I will then spend on booze so I can drink away the pain of never getting a Miss Martian figure.
You can order them here: [link]

Also I just wanted to thank everyone for stopping by to say hello and leave nice comments on my page, I truly appreciate it, you guys are the very best!

~Cylor Aug 1, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I just bought the remainder of season one on DVD, does that count for something?

~MrBowen3 Aug 1, 2012

Maybe if they weren't priced at a ridiculous $50, they would sell more, thus make more money.

~i-isa-rainbow-kitten Aug 1, 2012

Man! I wish I wasnt 13 and I had a credit card because I would SO buy them....btw when's the next episode coming out?

~IndilwenLily Aug 1, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

aaaah I wish I wasn't broke, or I would totally get some!!! (My sisters would kill me though... they find it bad enough that I watch cartoons still...) (>")>

~TerraZin50 Aug 1, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Decisions, toys or booze. I know! I'll order the toys while drinking the booze and kill two birds with one stone. Thanks Phil for the heads up.
