"You know the inter-dimensional readings they’ve been monitoring here? They flared into a warp hole thirty minutes ago and tossed out a kid.”

Now that was an interesting development. “Alien?”

“Human. A boy who claims he's the son of Dick Grayson.”

Dick blinked, waiting for Donna to crack and smile before telling him what really happened. But his friend looked far from amused.

“Dammit, you’re positive I’m needed?”

This was not how his evening was supposed to start. There were things to take care of and set up before staking out a new and dangerous smuggling ring all night. Bad enough Nightwing was playing catch up after nearly a year of being absent from Blüdhaven’s streets at the same time Dick Grayson was trying to re-establish himself. Getting shot in the head tended to cause problems like that.

Which is precisely why Justice League problems were not his concern. “Can't you make do with Bats?” complained Dick, “Or Robin? Literally anyone other than me?”

“Oh, you’re right!” Donna snapped her fingers in his comm, no doubt rolling her eyes, “I meant to call Plastic Man, silly me.”

Tires squealed as Dick cut a sharp U-turn and earned a few annoyed honks. Two alleys back was a hidden garage for his bike. “Anyone dying?”

“Not yet.”

“That’s reassuring. And kinda boring.” He hopped off the Wing-cycle and rolled it into a narrow metal slot that opened in the brick wall. A button on his gauntlet made the false wall slide shut. “What’s my jump code?”

“Check your secure messages.”

A quick tap on the side of his domino mask brought up the HUD. “Whoa, this is a Hall of Justice code. I thought Watchtower–”

“Stop thinking and hurry!”

Donna was waiting in the lobby where he teleported in, tapping her foot impatiently as he took a settling breath. It’d been a while since he traveled via zeta tube. “Come on.” She said, turning on her heel.

Dick jogged to catch up with her quick pace. “What’s happened? Because something’s happened. Is someone actually dying?”

Reluctantly, Donna ground to a halt. “Batman didn’t want to tell you before you arrived and at first I agreed–”

“Tell the FAA to watch out for flying pigs–ow!”

She punched his shoulder again. “Get your jokes out now because I changed my mind and you need to be prepared. You know the inter-dimensional readings they’ve been monitoring here? They flared into a warp hole thirty minutes ago and tossed out a kid.”

Now that was an interesting development. “Alien?”

“Human. A boy who claims he's the son of Dick Grayson.”

Dick blinked, waiting for Donna to crack and smile before telling him what really happened. But his friend looked far from amused. “Sorry, what? Me? Dick Grayson, me?”

“Batman is obviously running a panel of tests and no one is expecting you to claim him–”

“They must be since I’m being summoned!” Was he freaking out? Dick didn’t think he was freaking out. Stuff like this didn't trip him up. Plus he liked kids, got along with them. But his own inter-dimensional kid was something else entirely.

“Honey, he’s scared,” She grabbed his hand imploringly, “He’s not your kid and you’re not his dad but you might be the only person he recognizes.”

most unbelievable thing about nightwing the new order so far is that anyone involved would miss that badly on a dart board

i will forever have beef with dc over nightwing: new order.

like, someone looked at dick grayson - a trustworthy and good person in literally every universe; a multiversal constant - and decided it would be a good idea to turn him into a fascist

[hood-ex]

Do you ever think about how Bruce had an Apokolips war weapon that could take away superpowers, and Dick talked him out of using it, but then when Clark killed Bruce, Dick lost it and decided to use the device himself?

Say what you want about what Dick did and what he became, but I, for one, am fascinated by how Bruce's death was the catalyst that turned him into a traitor in that specific universe.

Y’know, in the town I grew up in there was like… a silent war over what we called the town. It had a few different nicknames (and, of course, a full name) and everyone chose one which sounded right to them and stuck to it. If two people who chose different sides ended up talking about it, they would passive aggressively use their own preferred nickname more & more pointedly as the conversation went on.

Anyway, DC’s version of this is Bludhaven. There are people who call it Blud (pronounced “blood,”) people who call it Blud (pronounced “blue’d”), people who call it BHC (like NYC), people who call it BC (“You can’t just take an initial from the middle of a word!”), people who call it Haven, and people who call it by its full name (with either of the previous 2 pronunciations.)

And if you question any of them, they’ll tell you theirs is the only right way to say it. Everyone else is wrong.

I'm about halfway through volume 12 of new Teen Titans and honestly that does make me a little bit sad because once I finish off 14, that is the end of any canon DickKory...

[rxbin-iii]

anyway i finally read nightwing: the new order and it made me cry

[pablohunie1993]

tom taylor is trying to trick me (personally) into reading his nightwing run with all of these gorgeous ntt panels and covers

[robxstar]

What do you think robstar would be up to now as trouble in Tokyo came out in 2006 and was the last we saw them in that iteration version of them ignoring teen titans go vs teen titans movie I don’t know if you get my question hopefully u do 💜

I think I get it. If they were aging normally behind the scenes, you're asking how old they'd be now and what they'd be doing?

Well, what they'd be up to now, given that they'd be in their early thirties...

I would say married, moved out of the Tower and operating as a duo hero pair. I tend to headcanon that they had Mar'i early; she'd be about 14, Jake is about two/two-and-a-half years younger than Mar'i in my head so he'd be about 12.

“Your memories. You’ve made jokes but are you ever scared they’ll disappear again?”

Dick had forgotten what it was like to be twelve. Young and playful but becoming rapidly aware that the world was not as easy as it seemed, especially for him. Other Dick was missing that about his son. The man was only delaying the inevitable. Whatever he was hiding, Jake would figure it out. Hell, he might have already.

“Yes,” he admitted, “All the time.”

For a long minute he and Jake merely looked at each other. Safe in the company of a stranger who should be known as deeply as a piece of their own heart.

“I’m sorry,” said Jake.

‘Me too.’ Dick almost replied.

Skimming through Nightwing New Order again and I can’t help but bring up some parts and panels I feel are overlooked by fans.

First, this

I can only imagine how many times Dick carried his little boy like this when bringing him to bed at an earlier age. So even as Jake’s a preteen here and even had it not been for the circumstances involved, I don’t believe Jake minds being carried like this.

Now poor Jakey had felt what his Dad no doubt did when a speedster carries him for the first time. Also, that face. Pardon the pun, but quite a rush lol

This moment goes to show, when it comes to saving the day and no matter the pain, Jake is one tough cookie. I think he might’ve gotten that from both of his parents frankly.

(I Headcanon that in a world where he officially becomes a superhero (also has an official older sister in Mar’i but I digress) he can take all sorts of discomfort, pain, and other such things in the middle of a battle and still keep going)

Jake and Alfred’s Hug…..🥺🥺🥺
