Luckily his suit protected him from dying... But that didn't stop it from hurting. A lot! The pain felt like a lifetime, and he could only image that this is how it felt for Abbie to be shocked. His eyes were closed as he fought back the urge to scream again, but he heard the sickening crunch of a skull, and the pain was lifted. As the Electrocutioner fell to the ground, Nightwing still on his shoulders, he obviously followed suit. He dropped his weapons, light still illuminating from them. He was in a painful daze, his vision going in and out, and the next thing he knew he was staring up at the blond haired girl, yelling things at him. He blinked a few times and groaned, trying to sit up. "I'm not dying today. Not on the first week of the job." Nightwing said, but as he tried to get on to his legs, they felt weak and unresponsive. Damn that guy! He grabbed his escrima sticks, and took in a few deep breaths

After a few seconds he finally had the strength to wobble in a slightly crouched position on his legs, using Abbie as support. The room was still dark, and before he could say anything else about their situation, he heard shouting from outside the warehouse. He gave a quiet swear, and then put his hand to his ear. "Oracle." 

Barbary Gordon used to be Batgirl, but ever since her encounter with the Joker a few years back, she was paralyzed, and now the tech genius for Batman, Robin, and now Nightwing. Her name was now Oracle. "Are you out? Did you find her?" Oracle immediately asked. "Not exactly... I think we're a bit too late." 

And as if on cue the warehouse doors were burst open, men rushing in, flashlights out to see Abigail Dent and Nightwing holding on to each other for support. Both were in rough shape. "Find the lights!" One man screamed, and then a rough voice chilled the air. One all too familiar. "Well well well... I come here to kill Buchinsky, to find that another high valued target took him out for me." The lights slowly started to flicker on, the light above them still out, but the others working just fine. It revealed the one person Dick Grayson never wanted to see in this type of situation. Two-Face. Formerly known as Harvey Dent.

So it was true. There had to be a connection with them now. Nightwing was too weak to fight, and he didnt want to hold an escrima stick up to Abbie's face and hold her hostage. He had to think of something... Come on, Gayson, Think!
