You stood in front of the Wayne Manor for a moment to admire the design of the mansion. It was always something that had fascinated you even when you were Red.

Alfred: Are you going to stand around outside? If so, I will let Miss Cassandra know.

You smiled at the familiar voice. You looked up the steps to see Alfred standing there with his signature smile.

Alfred: Welcome home, Master Y/N.

Y/N: It feels good to be here. How have you been?

You walked up the steps and gave Alfred a hug before he led you inside. You had spent the whole week at Gotham Academy giving your lectures during the day and crimefighting at night. Cassandra had opted to head to the Manor while you were busy. You decided to come by and finally see everyone for a very special occasion.

Dick was back in the game.

After weeks of Tim's therapy, Dick was now back to his former self with his memories intact.

You and Alfred entered the lounge where you found everyone sitting around and visiting.

Terry: Well, look who decided to finally show up.

Everyone turned to see you enter with a smile on your face.

Y/N: Hey, guys. Long time no see. How's life been treating you all?

Helena: So formal.

You spotted Cassandra and smiled. Today was important for another reason. After about three months of being "more than friends but less than lovers" with Cassandra, the two of you were finally going to reveal your relationship to the others.

Y/N: So, where's Dick?

Tim: Upstairs. He wanted to get dressed and catch a shower. He should be down in a bit.

You sat down next to Cassandra who sudtely held your hand.

Debra: This is kinda exciting. We're witnessing the rebirth of Dick Grayson. The first Robin! Nightwing!

Damien: Yes. I'm jumping in joy.

Stephanie: I know you're being a smartass, but I know you care.

Damien: tt.

Jason: I call first dibs on kicking his ass.

Barbara: Shouldn't Y/N get that privilege? He did get thrown through a wall, almost died, and was the one who dragged him back here. Literally.

Everyone turned to you while you sat there with a smig smile on your face.

Y/N: Yeah. I definitely get first ass kicking privileges.

Dick: Why does everyone want to beat me up?

You all turned to the stairs to see Dick walking down. Like the rest of you, he wore casual clothing and had a wide smile on his face.

Jason: Because you suck. Also, welcome back.

Dick made it to the rest of you and his eyes landed on you.

Dick: So, are you guys together yet?

You held up your linked hands.

Y/N: Yep.

Stephenie: You are?!

Tim: Wait.....what?!

Jason: Oh. They totally did fuck.

Damien: Crude much?

Jason: I can be worse.

Alfred: May I suggest we get some food now?
---------
After catching Dick up on everything, like, everything, you all found yourselves in the dinning room where Alfred had prepared you all food. The table was large enough to fit you all which was awesome. You sat at the head of the table while Dick sat on the other side.

Jason: And then I shot him.

Debra: You know, I have so much more to learn from you.

Jason: Damn right you do.

Terry: Right. How's the new Leauge been doing?

Y/N: Good enough. A bit rough around the edges but we're working on it. After our mission to retake Atlantis, Kaldur has been working with Bart and Conner on combat.

Dick: And Conner is this new, Superboy?

Y/N: Superman. Since we all had to step up, we assumed the mantles of everyone. I'm Batman, Cassie is Wonder Woman, and Conner is Superman.

Dick seemed a bit confused.

Dick: What about Donna? Shouldn't she be the new Wonder Woman?

Y/N: Who's Donna?

Jason: Oh yeah. He never met Donna. Your Titan buddies all kinda dispersed.

Dick: They did? Why?

Stephenie: Maybe because all the heroes went missing? Maybe Donna is back on the island running things?

Dick: But Garth should have been in Atlantis. Did you see him?

Garth? Who the hell is Garth? You shook your head. Now Dick seemed concerned.

Dick: What about Wally? Roy?

Everyone got quiet.

Jason: Roy, was killed. By Wally.

Dick's face dropped. You didn't remember this event but you did know about the murders that had occurred at the therapy home for Heroes. Wally West was now in Blackgate prison.

Dick: No way. So, that's why the protocols didn't activate.

Your head perked up.

Y/N: Protocols? What protocols?

Dick: If anything was to happen to the Leauge, the Titans were supposed to step in and take their place. Not you guys.

Terry: What does that mean?

Dick: That means that Y/N isn't supposed to be Batman. I am. Wally was supposed to be Flash, Roy was supposed to be Green Arrow.....we were supposed to be the next Justice Leauge.

Everyone looked at you then back at Dick then back at you.

Y/N: I'm....sorry. We didn't have a whole lot of options. Once you find your friends, we'll be glad to welcome you guys into the Leauge.

Dick lifted his head and looked at you.

Dick: No. We're supposed to lead it. We know the protocols and the procedures that we need to take. You guys can stay, but you can be the ones leading it.

Y/N: What?

Tim: Just hold up a sec! Before we start arguing about this. Dick, Y/N and the others have already ran Justice Leauge missions. You can't just take the Leauge away from them like this.

Jason: Yeah. That's kinda jacked.

Helena: Besides, it would be better to keep them the way they are. Your guys all up and vanished to.

Dick: That's not the point here. Bruce believed that we were ready to take over if something happened. Y/N and his friends, while they are good, aren't prepared for this.

You looked at him in disbelief. You weren't prepared for this?

Y/N: I'm sorry. I think I misheard you. Did you just say I'm not prepared for this?

Everyone turned to you to see that you were no longer smiling.

Y/N: Look, Dick, I don't know if you noticed but things are going just fine. With no notice whatsoever, I gathered up a team and picked up where Bruce and the others left off. We ran successfully missions with no failure. We operate independently as well. Do I even have to bring up the point that I beat you when you were under the control of the Court of Owls? You say I'm not prepared. What is it I'm not prepared for?

The room was quiet. Everyone felt extremely tense as you and Dick stared each other down.

Dick: You're not prepared to be Batman.

Just like that, the shoe dropped.

Y/N: What?

Dick: You're not ready. You might think you are, but you aren't. Being Batman is more than just fighting crime and brooding. It's commitment. It's dedication. It's sacrifice.

Y/N: And what makes you think I'm not ready for that?

Dick: Because you aren't. I'm sorry, Y/N, but as of today, you're not Batman.

Tim: Dick....

Jason: You're joking. You really think you can take that away from him?

Dick: Yes, I do. The protocols are for me to take over. I'm sure everyone can agree on that much. Bruce always had a plan.

No one spoke. Dick looked around the table.

Dick: Right?

His eyes landed on Barbara for some kind of support.

Dick: Barbs?

Barbara: Y/N should keep the mantle. You're not Batman, Dick. You're Nightwing. Besides, Y/N has stepped up big time.

Helena: We should just leave things as they are. He's doing great anyway.

You silently nodded to her. Seems that everyone else agreed that you should keep being Batman. Dick, on the other hand, didn't seem so keen on the idea.

Y/N: The offer to be members of the Leauge still stands. We're keeping things the way they are for now. We can help find the other Titans....

Dick: Don't bother.

Everyone turned back to him as he stood up.

Dick: I'll find them on my own. When I do, we're coming for the Leauge.

Damien: What?

Dick: The protocols are there for a reason. I don't know why, but they trusted that we were the best candidates. I strongly believe that.

Jason: Woah. So you're gonna go find your friends and, what? Take over?

Y/N: We're not going to back down just because you guys say so.

Dick: Fine. We'll take it by force if we have to.

You slowly stood up as well. Everyone was ready for a fight. They all tensed up and Damien grabbed the table knife just in case.

Y/N: Dick, think about what you're doing.

Dick: I have. I'm sorry, Y/N. But the next time we see each other, you better hand over the Leauge. If not, consider it war.

With that, Dick left. Everyone was left in silence as you stood there. You didn't even realize that your fists were balled up.

Stephenie: Are you sure Dick's back to his normal self?

Tim: He should be. I did everything right. I've seen Bruce do this before but, maybe I messed up somewhere?

Jason: Yeah. He's never acted like this before. Since when does he want to take over as Batman?

Terry: I have no idea but, I think I just got another memory.

Debra: Me to.

Everyone looked at the two of them.

Terry: He wasn't kidding. Dick is willing to go to war.

Debra: And he's bringing an army.

And just like that, you had made an enemy within the Bat Family.
