back in the day
Nightwing sat on the edge of the tallest building in Jump City, glancing over towards the shore where Titans Tower once stood. It had been a year since he left, since he went to Bludhaven, moving into that small apartment Roseia and him had shared back in the day.
...back in the day.
Back then, he would've never imagined himself sitting here now.
After he left, the Teen Titans plummeted when it came to crime fighting. The city soon enough ruled them "no longer necessary for duty" and claimed their little island just offshore from Jump.
The tower was taken down just over a month ago, a quaint little police station sitting in it's place. The titans themselves went separate ways. Cyborg was inducted into the Justice League. Beast Boy at first, moved to a small apartment in a small city up north. Raven went into hiding for a few months before she was sought out by BB, and they both moved to a different apartment on the east coast. Starfire was in and out of Nightwing's life since the titans split, her stopping by to make sure he was going to work and not staying home to watch several cartoons.
Those were the bad days. When all he'd do was reminisce of the past, when he dated Roseia for those wonderful 10 months. He'd think about the times she left to go to Vertram. When she'd come home, wounded from the battle he couldn't help her fight. And then there was the time she went off to Vertram to fight again, and she didn't come back. He then kind of drifts off in the current, pulling him down stream until he remembers the first night they met, on the rooftop of that old movie theatre downtown. And so the thought cycle continues.
Starfire would sometimes show up on those days, to help get him back on his feet.
He shot a grappling hook towards the nearest building, and launched himself into the late night air. It was over two years ago that he had met Roseia at that old theatre.
The present was going alright for the former protege. He was now a cop in Bludhaven, with a steady pay and a small apartment. He often thought of his past at a titan, as Robin, as Roseia's boyfriend. On many more days than one, he'd wish to go back to the past, back to that cool coastal night on the rooftop of that movie theatre in the heart of Jump City. Some days, all he wanted, was to go back in the day....
//Hey you dedicated followers. Thanks for two years of this blog being open. I really enjoyed my one year of RPing as Dick Grayson, TT!Robin and later Nightwing. I hope the RPing world is still as grand as when I was apart of it. I really miss RPing with Blue Jay, and many more of you wonderful people who I've noticed are still at it. I wish you guys the best as you keep powering through the months of RPing with each other. I miss having the extra time on my hands to join you guys. Hope you're all doing well. Miss you guys, my RP family. -♥ Vi
Note: even though I may or may not post from time to time, I will have to keep my physical blog closed. I have several friends who follow me now, and I don't really want them reading old posts from way back when. They're really important to me, so I won't delete them, but I cannot open my blog again. Apologies. :'(
