The first time Nightwing met Black Frost, he was out of it. Really out of it.

All he could remember of that night was soft and gentle hands, and a calm and soothing voice as she picked him up, reassuring him that he was safe now. He lost consciousness after that.

The next morning, there was no evidence of what had transpired.

What even happened? How did he end up back in his apartment in Bludhaven?

Dick spent that whole day pacing, confused and worried. When it came night, well...he officially met Black Frost. It wasn't pretty...

Nightwing had a long day, but surprisingly, his patrol of Bludhaven was easy. Too easy. In the back of his mind, Nightwing thought he was being followed. A shadow helping him throughout the night. Dick's first thought was Batman, then Batgirl, and then Robin.

The problem with that was Batman wouldn't leave Gotham unprotected for a night, he would never leave Robin after what happed to Jason, and why would Bruce come here? There wasn't a reason too...right?

Batgirl isn't out tonight. Barbara has a dinner tonight, and wouldn't be out as Batgirl.

And Robin wouldn't be out here on Batman's orders, and if Tim ran to Dick, Bruce would've told him.

So, who was the shadow?

Nightwing stumbled to a stop on a rooftop. Looking around, he noticed it looked familiar but didn't know how.

"You shouldn't be here." Dick briefly wondered how he didn't notice the figure coming out of the shadows.

He also wondered why his head started hurting and his stomach churned. He had a bad feeling they met before, and he didn't want to meet her again...

She took a step forward, he took one back. Stumbling a little for some reason he still doesn't understand.

'Why was he stumbling so much today...?...did it have something to do with last night...' Nightwing thought, not realized he was falling until hands (some familiar ones at that) caught him and helped him to ground.

"You don't remember, do you?" She stated, not exactly asking.

Dick's head spun. The voice was familiar (you can't forget an accent like that. What is it anyway...?), the whole situation had screamed 'DANGER: You have been in this situation and someone messed with your head!'

Dick was beyond confused.

He heard a giggle break through his-something-daze. He was 82% sure she had drugged him.

"OI! I did not drug you!" The girl groaned. "Okay...okay...okay..." She breathed, calming herself down it seemed.

Dick tried getting up, but got pushed back down.

The girl sighed. "You're not ready. You're still too...out of it..." She trailed off.

Everything stood still, Dick was sure she did something, something to him-

"Yes, I did." She shushed him before he could speak. "I'm only trying to help. When I snap my fingers you are going to close your eyes and when you open them, you will be in Mount Justice. You have a mission to do. I await the next time we meet."

With a snap, and true to her words, Nightwing closed his eyes and opened them to see his room in the cave.

Well, I need to rethink everything now. I like how this turned out, but I have to figure out the little details before the next update.

Speaking of next update...what do you guys want to see in the next update? The next time they meet or the present time where everyone is having a meeting over Black Frost (and you get to meet the one that Black Frost, and in turn, Nightwing protects)?

It's up to you, I'm good either way.
