I wanted to relax with my girls at Emma's school instead here I am at Gotham medical in a restricted area for heroes funded by Bruce Wayne. I brought Poison Ivy and Harley with me mostly because they were known super villains and they were nearby when Cyborg was begging for my help. What I found was Nightwing in a wheelchair facing a windows his eyes looked listless and mind seemed far away. He didn't seem completely gone just a bit broken if he noticed us entering his room he didn't show it.
Cyborg: Nightwing I've come to visit again I brought...
Nightwing: Why bother.
Cyborg: Because I am your friend and friends...
Nightwing: Friendship can't change shit
Cyborg: Nightwing I can't leave to wallow in misery...
Nightwing: And why the hell not!? It's what I want!
Cyborg: If I do I don't think you'll have the strength to get up again
Nightwing: What makes you think I even want to... even Bru... Batman thinks I was sloppy that I fucked up and even with these prosthetics I will never be whole
I'm really digging this depressed version of Nightwing and his absolute lack or care of whoever he is talking to especially considering what he just said to Cyborg. It takes a special kind of piece of shit to talk about his suffering with robotic implants to someone who is almost completely a machine with human parts. Sure this jack ass is not the pretty boy that he used to be but I think his brain should still be rattling around inside his skull yet it seemed to be on power saving mode but it definitely wasn't working at full capacity. What's more embarrassing is that Cyborg seems to be allowing his bullshit to continue.
Cyborg: That's why I brought someone who can make you whole
For the first time since we've arrived Nightwing finally looked over instead of out the window. I could see the scars on his face and I could say with certainty that he would only get a date by flashing cash or if the woman was blind drunk. He searches our faces for what assume he was looking for was pitty but I had none. For Pamela Isley and Harley Quinnzel having been former villains themselves pitty was somewhat a foreign concept especially since they fought against Nightwing in the past.
"If you're looking for sympathy I have to disappoint you as I have none especially when you are suffering the consequences of your own self-righteousness"
Nightwing: Then why the fuck are you here?
"I'm here at the behest of Cyborg's nagging to make you an offer to be made whole Mr potty mouth" (tone filled with mockery and amusement)
Cyborg: That's not what we agreed to!
"I'm pretty sure that I said that I would give him a choice and certain that I never promised that he would receive my aid for free as that right is reserved for my women"
Harley: OH! You hear that Ivy we got the premium coverage!
Ivy: *sigh* Harley maybe... tone it down a bit at least until we leave?
Harley: Aww is someone feeling shy?
Cyborg: Can you two please be elsewhere?
Harley: And be accused of trying to assault a injured hero or tampering with this facility or possibly be attacked by a hero thinking we're up to something.
Cyborg: That last one wouldn't happen
Harley didn't say anything and simply pointed directly at me which made things become super awkward. Considering the fact that I was attacked by members of the Justice League because they suspected that I was up to something kinda made Cyborg's argument seem flimsy. At best he then tried to convince them to leave the premises with an escort to prevent misunderstanding but Harley pointed out that would leave me alone with them. Cyborg couldn't make the argument for the League's credibility especially when Raven announced to the team about what happened. It didn't help their image that they neglected to inform their affiliates worse still Nightwing a core and founding member of the Titans knew and said nothing.
Eventually it was agreed that Harley and Pamela would simply be observers acting as witnesses should things go sideways. With that decided we returned to the main reason I was dragged here in the first place. Nightwing didn't seem to care either way and just wanted this to be over with so he can return to his miserable life of wallowing in his own pitty party.
"So..."
Nightwing: No.
Cyborg: you didn't even hear what he was going to say!
Nightwing: It doesn't matter he was going to offer me either a shitty deal or an insulting one possibly both
"Did you figure all that out by reading tea leaves or looking through your crystal ball? Cyborg I thought your friend wasn't supposed to have super powers? Maybe the incident awakened his third eye!"
Cyborg: Enough! I get that you feel insulted but Nightwing is just in a bad place...
"In a bad place? Are stupid or retarded he has received the best medical treatment money can buy in private hospital with a luxurious room along with state of the art implants at no cost to himself how is he suffering?"
Nightwing: In your eyes I'm just a spoiled child is that what you're saying
"I'm sorry was I not clear? I am saying that you are worse than a spoiled child you're a grown ass man acting like a pouting spoiled child"
Cyborg: That is enough! I didn't bring you here to berate him!
"No you brought me here coddle him! Grow the fuck up you ungrateful cunt!"
