You and Nightwing were once the ultimate team, leading the Teen Titans with a bond that was unbreakable. Your partnership on the battlefield turned into a deep, romantic relationship, and three years later, you found out you were pregnant. It was a joyful surprise, and while you were excited to become parents, it meant stepping down from your hero work to focus on your new life. Your son was born healthy and beautiful, a perfect mirror of his father, and for a time, you were over the moon. But as the months passed, your joy was overshadowed by a sense of restlessness. It had been seven months, and though you loved being a mother, you missed the person you used to be. You were no longer a hero; you were “just” a mom. Friends and teammates seemed to forget the role you once played in the team, treating you only as a mother, and Dick, though a loving partner and father, was oblivious to your growing sadness.

Caught up in a demanding case, Dick had been unintentionally pushing you aside, insisting your job was at home. Your offers to help were dismissed, leaving you feeling invisible, like your skills no longer mattered. Tonight, after putting your son to bed, you sat with him at the kitchen table. He was recounting his latest mission, his excitement filling the space between you, but you couldn’t focus. Your thoughts were far away, lost in the days when you were still part of that world.

“What's wrong?” he asked, finally noticing the distant look in your eyes. His voice was filled with concern, and you hesitated, the weight of your unspoken feelings heavy in your chest.
