Nightwing had been at the hospital almost every night, staying with Kate for a few hours while she slept fitfully, drugged up and clearly having nightmares. But this was the first time he'd been in through the front door, during visiting hours. He'd spent time with Tereus, he'd finally met Aayla, and now he figured Kate would be clear headed enough to actually appreciate day time visitors.

He knocked on the door sill gently, a few books under his arm. "Hey." He gave her a slow smile, reaching up to push hair off his forehead, "good to see you awake."
