There wasn't much that the Oracle could do about the recent discovery. All she could do was cover Bruce Waynes influence in Dick's life. She couldn't make the boy disappear. After all now the police wanted to have him in for questioning. Vigilantes were still illegal. So they would have already pulled up all of Dick's files and if they disappeared then the Justice League would be targeted. She leaned back in her chair and sighed. Barbara wished so desperately that she could help out her ex lover... nearly husband more than that.

Slowly she reached for the button on the phone and let her hand hover. Then she pressed down. Just one ring and the deep voice answer. A small echo in the background.

"Yes?" Batman asked.

"Your connection to Nightwing... has been terminated. You are safe, Bruce... No one will figure out your identity due to this little scandal." she said, her voice attempting not to sound broken.

"Thank you, Barbara..." Bruce Wayne said.

Soon the connection was gone and it just left Barbara, the former batgirl fighting back tears. Yet she had more work to do. Quickly she arranged so that Arsenal, Nightwing, and Lian would be moved to Titan's tower. No one else would know where they were being kept. This would keep the cops away as well as everyone else. The only people who would know, were their close friends... The moving truck would arrive at Roy's place in little under and hour. The red head should have everything ready by then.

~ ~ ~

Roy looked out his window when he noticed the moving truck. He and Dick quickly began packing their things in it. Luckily they knew the driver and he even came up to help. Garth was one of the original five and cared about the two like brothers. He would do anything to help them. Within two hours they had everything ready and out of the apartment. It was as if they had never even lived there, and according to the Oracle's modified records they never had.

The tower provided many things to the three; Safety, shelter, the porn channels for those who knew the password, and friends. Dick didn't even get the chance to move anything. Kori hugged him tightly and wanted to walk him through her garden. She thought it would make his mood lighten just a bit. After all, she remembered just how bad the man's trust issues were. Now his biggest secret, other than the one he kept in his pants, had been broadcast nation wide.

It hurt her a little when he didn't say anything. Yet she still tried to understand. She had been hurt severely when her sister had given her to the slave traders... Starfire imagined Richard must be going through something very similar.

"Dick... We've known each other... shared a bed together, and yet you can't even find the voice to speak to me either?" she asked softly.

He looked away, slightly ashamed. The man had the urge to talk, he just... couldn't. Shouting at the burglar just a few weeks before had taken a lot out of his voice. He wasn't sure if anything had been left, or even where that outburst had come from.

"It's alright. Normally I was the one doing the talking anyways in our relationships. Oh I planted the flowers again. That damn dog of Superboy's dug them up again. I swear that thing never learns." she said motioning for the flowers.

Dick looked at them, then knelled. Slowly he sniffed at the flowers. They smelt beautiful and made him smile.

Lian was arranging her room with Garth as Roy went out to check on Dick. The man was quite unstable still, and even if it was Kori, he didn't completely trust them together. She had the habit of getting too close, and Dick wouldn't be able to handle that yet... at least Roy hoped he wouldn't... At least not with her.

His pace slowed slightly as he looked out the window. Beast boy still wasn't outside, his small little rescue zoo of strays wasn't doing very well. The others were feeding the animals, but not playing with them. This made the man smile. He knew Dick would love the animals, and Wings would also get along with them.

He then rushed back up to grab the huge lug of a pet to bring down with him.

A man raised in the circus had to love animals. After all, he loved tigers and snakes and all the others. Dick had even taken him and Lian with him to his circus at one point in time. His little girls face had sparkled when she got to ride on the elephants and even on one of the tigers.

Then he slowed his walk.

Thinking about the circus reminded him that he still needed to talk with his friend more about how the man needed to be more careful about what he was teaching his daughter. The back flips off of the couch had stopped but there were other problems; front flips off of the coffee table.

The site of Kori out there with Dick made his heart freeze for a moment. The woman had wrapped her arms around Dick and was going in for a kiss. Nightwing was just frozen. He knew what she was doing but couldn't react at all due to what looked like fear.

"HEY guys!" Roy interrupted. Kori immediately stopped the kiss and turned to Roy. Her smile was a bit forced but she nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hello Roy. How is Lian liking her room," the woman didn't remove her arms from around Dick's shoulders.

"She loves it. Uncle Gills is helping her decorate. If you don't mind I'd like Dick to help me decorate our room after we feed and play with Wings a bit." he noticed the relieved face his best friend gave him. The man seemed to know what Roy was trying to do and was rather grateful.

Starfire released Dick and smiled, "You two boys have fun then." she flew off without much more of a hassle.

Dick seemed to almost fall down. Luckily his personal archer had been close enough to catch him before supporting his weight. Roy kept his arms tightly wrapped around the acrobat as he kept the man on his feet. Even after Dick would be able to balance on his own the red head didn't release him. The man's body felt so nice against him, in his arms. He couldn't resist keeping Dick so close, even for a few moments longer.

To his surprise Dick didn't seem to mind the attention either. Then again they had shared the same bed for a little over two and a half months. Dick didn't pull away either. He just allowed everything. The man closed his eyes as he leaned his head back to rest on Roy's shoulder. Then Roy did something unexpected; he kissed the man's head. Normally he only reserved that for when Dick was having panic attacks or when he was asleep. Never just because he wanted to. This didn't even make Dick tense.

“Hey, BB's been putting off taking care of his animals, so I was wondering if you would like to play with them with me?” Roy asked, trying not to imagine kissing the beautiful pink lips that turned to him as he spoke up.

Dick nodded a 'yes' before pulling out of Roy's grip to walk with Wings towards the other animals.

For a while Roy just watched the man work and play with the animals. No one would have been able to tell he wasn't the same... Unless they considered the long sleeved, turtle necked shirt he wore in the blazing heat and the silence. The scars were healing, but would still be so noticeable in the sunlight, Dick didn't want any questions. Roy leaned against one of the trees and bit his lower lip. He knew he should tell Dick, confess... Tell the man he thought he was an ivory God of beauty no matter the scars or the muteness.

He knew how it would turn out though...

Dick would then be scared of him. The men would loose their friendship and it would never work out. As an archer he would miss the targeting point by a hundred feet if he ever opened his mouth. The life he currently had wasn't one he was willing to loose so soon. Then he noticed Wings missing. A few moments later, Lian rode down on the beasts back all the way to the animal pins. This didn't worry Roy at all. Wings took good care of everyone in the family.

The hours passed and sooner than Roy had expected dinner had called them in the form of a loud speaker.

“Common short pants, lets go eat with the rest of the group,” Roy walked over and wrapped an arm around Dick's shoulder and tugged him towards the building. Lian followed too.

Dinner stayed rather silent as everyone took turns stealing glances at Dick. It was as if he was a spectacle in the circus. Even though he used to be one, this was a different type of spectacle. This time he was the bearded lady, or the man with testicles the size of a dwarf.

The acrobat never raised his eyes from the table. He soon finished eating and leaned against Roy's shoulder. Tired, he began to drift asleep while Roy continued to eat with the one arm that wouldn't disturb Dick's nap. Done, he moved to gently pick Dick up and carry him to their room. The gazes were hard to ignore though.

“Come on Lian, bed time,” he said in a whisper.

Dick's bare feet were visible in the air, and so were the burns that were on top of them. Many went back to eating, remembering exactly why their friend had become even more severely antisocial. Starfire couldn't stop looking at the two of them walk off. She wished to help them, Dick in particular, but Roy would no doubt interfere like he had earlier. Donna on the other side of the table also looked on, only her sights were more appreciative and supportive.

Even now though there were many missing members that hadn't joined them for a long while; Beastboy, Robin, and Superboy. The last two were due to Robin needing a bit of comforting still. Superboy wasn't about to leave his little bird alone again, or let him go outside at all.

It took a few moments, but Lian rushed back in the room and grabbed a cookie, “Thank you!” she stated before rushing back towards her new bedroom.

Dick and Roy were curled up on the couch. The acrobat fast asleep against the archer with the latest football game on. In his sleep he didn't realize when Roy would gently kiss his head or hand. Lian had fallen asleep already and Nightwing had begun to stir finally. Yet the red head wanted to chance one more thing: he kissed Dick gently on the lips and separated right before the other awoke.

“Good morning sunshine. The moon is shinning bright and your team is getting their ass kicked,” Roy pointed towards the television. Bludhaven's football team was loosing to Star City's.

For a moment Roy looked at Dick amazed. The man seemed to be mouthing a few words although they were intangible. He then turned the man's face a bit and watched his lips more carefully. Yet Dick had stopped, his eyes looking at Roy curiously.

“I'm trying to read your lips, now do that again,” Roy explained.

With a nod, the brunette did it again.

“They are not going to come back from behind. Bludhaven never comes back from behind. Their quarter back isn't that good,” Roy stated before his gaze moved back to Dick's lips.

He was trying... Roy to this into account. Dick was trying to talk. It's just he didn't have the voice to put behind the movements. Talented, calloused fingers began massaging Dick's throat. Once Roy got a small sound out of it he smiled happily.

“Can you try to mimic the noise I make?” he asked softly, and Dick nodded. “Aaaaaaaa~”

Dick opened his mouth and tried. He then closed it sadly. Noticing that Roy hadn't stopped, he opened his mouth to try again.

“Aaaaa~”

“That's it, just a bit louder. Aaaa~”

“Aaaa~”

Roy leaned in and kissed Dick then. It had just lingered for a moment. Only love lasted in the kiss as the two men's lips touched. There wasn't any tongue, just feelings. To Roy's surprise, Richard did not draw away. The man closed his eyes, then opened them again as they separated. He waited to see hate behind the other's eyes. Yet Richard seemed to have no such awful feelings towards him. This made him smile lightly.

“Aaaa~” Dick said softly, but more audibly before he suddenly started coughing. The violent heaving wouldn’t stop for a long while and a little bit of blood spurted out onto Dick’s hand as he tried to calm himself.

The coughing disturbed Roy enough that he had been caught extremely off guard. Quickly he ran and got a glass of water and gave it to the other to drink. Once it was gone, Roy ran his hands through Dick’s hair. His little experiment didn’t work out quite the way he had wanted it, but it seemed to have alerted him to a separate medical problem the doctors had missed. He would have Dick go in for a checkup during his next mission to see exactly what the problem with the other’s throat could be.

~ ~ ~

Arsenal jumped from rooftop to rooftop. The villain they had been chasing had a strange habit of magically disappearing. He would randomly come, destroy something and then leave without any loot. To be honest this man just seemed to be drawing out the heroes. It was a good idea that they had left all the young heroes back in the tower. The only super heroes out this evening were Starfire, Cyborg, Arsenal and the Flash.

They were all split up and chasing after where the man might have gone.

A few small noises made Arsenal draw his bow and aim it towards a dark corner of an alley down below. Nothing was there and he slowly turned back the way he had turned from. Before he could catch sight of the man he had been pushed over the edge and began falling down to the alley floor. Yet a strong arm caught the edge of his bow.

“So where is Dick Grayson,” Daniel asked. “Is he still not in the mood to play 'hero' again?”

Roy glared up at the man. He began to reach into his back pocket he had tried to grab a knife to throw, but had been dropped before he could release it. After falling hard onto his back he looked around for the man. Daniel had completely disappeared though. The only remaining item seemed to be a piece of paper.

I want my nightwing back. Unless he is delivered to me, I'll take you or maybe your daughter in his place. He was so much fun, please give him back to me. You have five hours.

Arsenal crumbled up the piece of paper and threw it too the side. At least now they knew what to expect. He messaged the others to tell them to meet him back at Titan's Tower. They all began to develop a plan quickly, keeping Nightwing out of the loop. The man didn't need anymore stress in his life.

At three hours Arsenal headed up to the room to get on some more throwing knives and to restock his arrows. Dick came out of the room for only a moment and smiled at him before his eyes widened. For a moment Roy looked at him confused. Then he felt a strong arm over his own and a clothe over his mouth. As he began to loose consciousness he heard the words, “Thank you for leading me too him. Now I can really take away everything that the man holds dear, including you. He wont be able to save you poor little boy… His face with be so turned and tortured when he finds your body…” Roy could feel and erection pressed against his rear through all the clothing, “Makes me want to cum just thinking about the horror.”

With all his adrenaline gone, and the scene having darkened, Roy had passed out.

Dick whimpered and sobbed as he clawed at the ground. When he realized that it was no use he darted to the closet and drew out his old uniform and began to get dressed. He had to save Roy. Yet when he tried to hold one of his jugglers batons his hand couldn’t fully grip it and he had to release it. The tendons still hadn’t recovered enough from the nails. He still got dressed though and headed downstairs. All the other titans were already working on a plan to try to find Roy and hadn’t expected to see Nightwing there.

“Dick you should be-” Kori started but Donna raised her hand.

Donna looked at Dick and nodded, “So, where do we start?”

Moving over to the computers, Dick brought up all of the subway and sewer lines. Then he circled a couple spots of the city.

“We’ll alert the League. Underground it is,” Cyborg stated before he called up the JLU on the phone.

Even at his worst, the Bat Boy was not going to let one of his friends be in trouble if he could do something to prevent it. Opening up the garage he quickly got onto his bike, his body trembling slightly. The bandages on his neck chaffed a bit from the surgery he had the day before to hopefully assist him in recovering his voice. None of that mattered though, the only thing that mattered was Roy, and he was going to save him.
