a/n: oh how i love characters that surpassed their mentors/ father figures but are still haunted by the fact that they could turn out exactly like them in the blink of an eye.

dick grayson, i'm especially looking at you.

"Nightwing, I have no time for you right now. I'm already late for the press conference that Mom's dragging me to and the launch is tonight!"

"Why don't we give the tall alien some high-heels? I don't think she's tall enough as is," Connor smirked and I rolled my eyes. "And why are you going?"

"Mom got me involved in this mentorship program that Ferris Air is starting. Since I'm studying to be a mechanical engineer and Kyle is studying graphic design, she wants us involved in the business somehow eventually... Something about it being a family thing, I don't know."

"That's nepotism," Malcolm smirked.

"Yeah, well Dad's a test pilot and Mom inherited the company. I really don't care what it is." I shrugged and snapped my fingers in front of Dick's face. "Hello!? I literally have five minutes before Mom comes here and kills all of you for making me late."

Dick blinked back into focus, shaking his head as if pulling himself out of a daydream.

"Right, right... Got distracted for a second," he muttered and I raised an eyebrow. "You look beautiful, Zar."

"Is she blushing?" Connor gasped and pinched my cheeks. "The all-powerful Lantern is blushing! I can't believe it!"

"I will hurl you to the next Sector if you don't stop right now," I warned and turned to Dick. "Thank you, Nightwing... And thank you for agreeing to supervise the launch. Mom's been at this for months and Dad's not here to keep her calm."

"You convinced her for you to tag along?"

"I'll be inside supervising as Red Lantern and Kyle's in space as we speak. I'll have my comlink with me just in case and a separate one for the launch."
