cityship: (Meanwhile...)

Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. (Pt. 5: Chances)

The plan was...well, it wasn't simple, but it sort of was.

While the CLF attacked multiple Clone Processing centers to distract the government, the group with the CLF would target one particular one in the region that'd once been New Jersey. The group with the government would offer their services in putting down their own people.

In the center, they'd split up into several groups. One would fight a fake fight, create a massive diversion, and blow up the room where the samples their DNA were being kept in the process. Another group would secure a teleporter pad. That team would teleport out other teams to steal a ship, steal some med tech to teleport to said ship, and steal a medical database. Another team would go to the main command center and hack into the government mainframe to down the sensornet around the planet so they could escape. And Nightwing himself would accompany the clones to upload the harvested memories to the Mother Brains, left unguarded because of the diversionary fighting, and make sure that was all they did.

Meanwhile, there'd be a standing order for all teams to avoid killing other crewmates, and avoid killing guards unless absolutely necessary.

It was a complicated plan. If a single part fouled up, they might find themselves dead, trapped, or worse. But if it worked, it'd work pretty spectacularly and leave them with medtech, a medical database, the clones helped, and possibly a grateful Council depending on how the fight went, because of the ones seemingly aiding the government.

In some worlds, things that were a million-to-one-chance (exactly a million-to-one) by their nature had to work. Let's hope this world is one of them, eh, mission crew?

Dick wasn't one to ask of anybody what he wouldn't do himself. So when the group was asked to offer up memories to be downloaded, Dick was the first one to volunteer.

He didn't hold much back. Like Kon, it was mostly the really embarrassing stuff. And the whole 'sleeping with Babs' thing when delivering the invite to his and Kory's wedding.

And Tarantula. Just...leaving that whole thing out.

He left a lot of the bad things. Failures. Not being able to save people. The loss of 'Haven was new and particularly sharp in his mind. So many lives lost.

But there were all the great times, too. His early life with his parents. Losing them, but finding a family with Bruce. With the first Titans. The jealousy over Jason and the acceptance of Tim. The joy of a life where the decisions were his, the friends and family and ups and downs and relationships and love.

There was the training. So much training. Being a leader with all that entailed. The desire for justice over revenge.

And over all of it, the love. The love for his town. His team. All the disparate parts of his family, even the ones he didn't get along with. All the Titans. Holding Roy as he went through withdrawl. Holding Lian for the first time, rescued while Roy was injured. Being there for Wally and Garth and Donna when he was needed and kicking himself when he couldn't be.

Because it was all love, at the end of the day. And it didn't matter for a moment that they didn't share a drop of blood. They were his. And he would fight for every last one of them. As long as he didn't have to kill anybody. Because Dick didn't do that.
