a/n: for anyone interested, i posted a new "Titans" fic called "Bad Omens"

Ten months later

"What are you two doing?"

"Teaching our dove to fly. So far she's loving it." I said, doing a couple more flips on the high bar before landing in front of Viola and made her laugh. "You love watching Mama fly, don't you, my little dove?"

"Mama's a natural, isn't she?" Dick smiled and picked her up. "But you're gonna be even better than us, my dove."

"How was work?"

"Excruciating and my partner is so incompetent that he almost tampered with a crime scene on accident." He sighed and pecked my lips. "The Maroni's are at it again, but with the intel Babs sent me last night, I should be able to handle it without Nightwing."

"I've been dying to get back out there. Maybe Domino can finally make an appearance after almost a year and help out." I offered and he raised an eyebrow. "You know that being a housewife and retired ain't my thing and the reason I work from home is because of Vi."

"It's just weird because we've never worked together like that."

"Arkham City, remember? I saved yours and Tim's asses from Penguin while in civvies and two months pregnant."

"I thought that night was a fever dream or that I got a concussion and forgot about it."

"Strangely, so do I... I think we all just decided to forget that night, especially Dad." I shuddered.

"So... Domino's ready to terrorize Blüdhaven? Because Nightwing misses his partner in crime." Dick teased and cooed when Vi rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm starting small until I get the swing of things again. I've been MIA for almost a year focusing on the Foundation and Wayne Enterprise, housework, giving Steph moral support while she battles freshman year of pre-med and holding down the fort... Babs says I'm almost Wonderwoman."

"I have to take some PTO. After this case, I'll take a few days off from both jobs. I'm sure Jaybird or Tim won't mind taking my shift." He promised and I nodded. "Maybe we'll leave Vi with Jay for a few hours while we go to Wonderland. Because it's been a little over a year since we actually had a night to ourselves."

"Actually... mouse and I have some small business to take care of with Chesh and I was hoping on taking Vi with me so they can finally meet."

"What kind of business?"

"Nothing bad. Just a small drop off that will only take a night, two at most due to traveling."

"Where?"

"Still working on that."

"When?"

"Few days."

"Just you three?"

"Yep. And Wall already knows so you can have some peace of mind... Mouse made me promise to stay on the sidelines because of Vi and because I'm still rusty and I agreed for the first time in my life."

"Let's see how rusty you really are tomorrow night and I'll let you know." Dick decided, pulling me close to him before kissing Vi's forehead. "I love coming home to my two favorite girls."

"Steph's gonna have a fit if she hears that you didn't include her."

"She almost knocked me over before I came down here. I think she's fine."

"You're her favorite Batboy."

"I better be after she almost knocked me down the stairs with that bear hug!"

"Look at Mama, dove. Doesn't she look beautiful?"

"It barely fits now..."

"Hon, you birthed a child and trained thrice as hard to bounce back. It's normal for your body to change." Dick shrugged as I struggled to slip on the tights. "And I'm definitely not complaining because I'd have a thousand more right now just by the way that suit looks on you."

"Don't talk about sex when you're holding our kid, please." I grimaced and sat on the floor. "Y'know what? The tights can go fuck themselves... I feel like they're cutting off my circulation."

"I'm not complaining, babe."

"Don't start, please." Damian groaned, grabbing my holsters and sat next to me. "It doesn't fit."

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Damian."

"What I mean is that you've got a stronger build, Ummi. Which means you take down your opponents faster." He shrugged as Dick set Vi down and she immediately crawled to him. "She's still not walking?"

"She stands and tries to take a step, so it's probably happening soon. Same with her first word."

And, on cue, Vi opened her mouth.

"Da...mi... Dami." She giggled and we all froze. "Dami!"

"And of course it had to be her uncle Dami!" Dick exclaimed but smiled nonetheless. "GUYS! Vi said her first word!"

"Please tell me it was Jay because we've been practicing it for a month!" Jason exclaimed, pushing everyone away and grabbed Vi. "Is it your uncle Jay-Jay, Vi? Your Jay-Jay who loves you very much?"

"Dami!" Vi said and his smile dropped.

"The assassin who wasn't there at your birth!? I literally witnessed you coming into this world and this is what I get? Don't come crying to your uncle Jay when you need someone to bail you out of jail, you hear me?"

"Uncle Jay has to watch his niece tonight while the parents go to work." Dick rolled his eyes and helped me stand before kneeling down to put on my holsters. "I took the night shift at the station tonight, so we'll be back in the morning around breakfast."

"She's slippery so keep an eye on her and-"

"I've watched her before, Mom. It'll be fine." Jason waved me off and started dancing with Vi. "Before your Mama and Papa come back, you're gonna say Jay... I'm not letting the blood son win."

"I already won, Todd." Damian smirked and took Vi. "I'm the favorite uncle."

"I was there when she was born!"

"Which apparently means nothing to her... I won."

"Didn't anyone tell you it's dangerous to be out on the streets at night, officers? Though, I gotta say... I do love men in blue."

"And I take it that you're gonna protect us?" Dick smirked as I jumped down from the lamppost.

"The Clown Princess at your service." I bowed and shook their hands. "Got any names or do I need to pay for dinner first?"

"Detectives Grayson and Levine." He said and kissed my hand. "Pleasured to make your acquaintance, Domino."

"Pleasure's all mine, Grayson."

"Aren't you married with a kid, Grayson?" Levine butted and he shrugged.

"If my wife can flirt with Nightwing day and night, I'm sure she won't mind... Besides, I'm just being friendly. The enemy of my enemy and all that jazz."

"I'm an enemy to a lot of people, detective. You're gonna have to be more specific." I hummed, doing cartwheels around them.

"Maroni's."

"Sal!? He's still kicking? Didn't Joker kill him when I was a kid?"

"That's so fucked up." Levine shuddered and I tilted my head.

"Newbie?"

"He lived in Delaware." Dick rolled his eyes and pushed him forward. "We've got word that one of the recent murders has been linked to him. Think you can help?"

"I don't like that Sal jumped the lake and came to my city. What do you need from me?"

"Maybe a jump to Gotham? Iceberg Lounge or his place? That's where we traced him anyways."

"Him and Pengy!? Oh, I'm so in!"

｡ﾟ•┈୨🃏୧┈• ｡ﾟ

"Isn't this illegal?"

"If you're gonna question my methods, you can wait outside. Nobody's forcing you to come with us, Levine." I rolled my eyes and continued to search Sal's office while Dick hacked the computer. "Plus, Grayson has worked with my kids before so he's used to this and the paperwork."

"Nah, my wife does it for me. Perks of having a Wayne by your side." Dick sheepishly shrugged and turned the computer. "Jackpot... Three John Does in a week and one matches the body we found on the docks."

"And one matches the body Red Hood has been trying to find for almost a month! I knew it wasn't Black Mask, I fucking knew it!"

"Two birds with one stone."

"I love it when it happens." I grinned and did a little dance. "Sorry... It's been a while since I've been out and stretched my wings."

"Hey Aiden, I need you to call the station and tell them to send cars and patrol the docks. I don't like what I'm seeing on the computer." Dick waved Levine off and he left with a small nod. "Ugh, finally! On the drive here he was lecturing me about marriage and children!"

"Sounds exhausting." I chuckled and sat on his lap. "What am I seeing here?"

"A man holding his smoking hot wife and struggling to keep his composure because I haven't seen you like this in over a year." He shrugged and pecked my lips.

"The computer, Dickbrain."

"A cocaine shipment coming in. I'm sending the intel to Oracle anonymously and hopefully Jason will deal with it with Roy either tonight or tomorrow."

"Jay's with Vi so it'll have to be tomorrow unless Babs sends Steph who's patrolling near the area."

"Uh-oh..."

"What?"

"Is that Aiden!?" He exclaimed and zoomed in on the cameras. "Of course he would get kidnapped... this is why I like to work these cases alone!"

"You sound like Batman."

"Yeah, and unlike him, I actually follow through with what I say." He sighed as I stood up.

"I'll follow from the rooftops and you take the car. Lights and sirens off and follow me as best as you can."

｡ﾟ•┈୨🃏୧┈• ｡ﾟ

"Sally, baby! You missed me?"

"Domino!?"

"In the flesh." I smiled, jumping down the vent and landed in front of Aiden. "Rule number one of working with a vigilante, you stick with the group because things go south fast! He gave you the order but you didn't have to go outside!"

"I told you it was illegal!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, get with the program and shut the fuck up. You live in a town where the majority of things that go on are illegal and my family's the only ones willing to get their hands dirty."

"There's more of you!?"

"How long have you been here!?" Sal exclaimed, lowering the gun slightly.

"Three weeks!"

"Oh, you poor soul."

"Focus!" I hissed and kicked the gun away from Sal's hand. "Honestly, this is why I was gone! There's not a lot of fun anymore!"

"This is your idea of fun!?"

"Usually I'm in your spot and driving these people insane, but sure." I shrugged, looking up to see Dick climb down a vent behind Sal. "Oh good, you're here!"

I took the opportunity to pull out the crowbar and hit Sal's knees before using the gun he dropped to shoot the chains holding Aiden.

"Come with me." I ordered and dragged him outside the restaurant. "Never do this shit again, you hear me? I was literally born and raised in these streets... you're new blood."

Running back inside, I dropped a smoke bomb and shot rubber bullets at the goons before they attacked Dick.

"Looks like you haven't missed a step." He smirked and I smiled.

"What can I say? It's in my blood." I shrugged and pushed him away, kicking Sal across the face when he tried to hit Dick with a pipe. "Really? You should know better by now."

"They never learn, do they?"

"And I hope they never do or else this will be the most boring job in the world."

"Same here."
