The Heart of a Family Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. DC Comics does.
I wrote this for love not money and if I could find a way into their universe I'd send it to them :p This is my first fic so please be gentle in your R/R. Agenak
Batman crouched on the gargoyle on top of Wayne Enterprises looking through his night-vision goggles at the quiet streets below. Frowning. It's all so fake, the quiet down there. I know that within a minute someone will come and shatter the peace. "But I won't give up on this city for anything."
"Well, that's good. Because they need you. Hello, Batman." Nightwing stepped up to Batman and crouched next to his father.
"Hello, Nightwing."
"You're here early."
Nightwing ruffled his hand through his hair and looked at Batman. "Well, Charlie Stewart sang a song that reminded Barbara and me of our duty to Gotham and to you, so we left early. She's setting up as we speak and I came out here to meet up with you."
"Oh, what was the song?" Batman looked at Nightwing, wondering what could draw his son away from his time with Barbara.
Nightwing moved a few feet away from Batman,and turned on the comm on his gauntlet.
"Oracle? Are you there?"
Right here, Nightwing."
Do you have it set up yet?"
"All set, hunk-wonder."
Nightwing grinned.Okay I'll have him join us." He moved closer to Batman. "
Click into Channel Two and Oracle and I will show you what brought us out of the party." Batman clicked his com to Channel Two and heard Charlie Stewart singing
"Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd.
Nothing's gonna harm you/ Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you/ No sir not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays
I'll send them howling
I don't care I've got ways
No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you Not to worry Whistle I'll be there
Demons will charm you with a smile for a while
But in time┘nothing can harm you Not while I'm around.
After the first part of the song Oracle clicked off the C-D and all she heard was silence. "Nightwing?"
Batman smiled at Nightwing and softly said "Thanks for the reminder" then he shot out his Grappling hook and sailed into the night.
Nightwing watched him leave and smiled and said to Oracle, "Mission accomplished. I'll see you later." And then Oracle smiled.
-Fin for now-
A/N I want to have continuations of the story where the song gets passed along from D.C. Superhero community members to DC Super hero Community members finally reaching the starting point again. This is just a portion of the song.
