Nightwing hated the idea of leaving Robin and the others in the hands of Jean-Paul Valley, but the fact was Azrael could be a great asset to the fight. Still, Nightwing fumed at how Jean-Paul immediately tried to assume control of things. "Doesn't even wait for his chair to get cold..." Dick fumed.
The trip to Washington was a relatively fast trip. Nightwing had used Batman's latest 'wing. Top of the line Wayne Technology and a few items from the JLA. No earth made vehicle so far would be able to compete with Bruce's new toy.
Although Dick hadn't mentioned it to the others, his mission to Washington had two motives. One was to discover all he could about Dominion. He hadn't lied about that. During his time with the original Titans Nightwing and his teamate Arsenal AKA Roy Harper had made associates with many important figures in the government. Nightwing was hoping that they could shed some light onto the mysterious dictator and the were abouts to President Luthor or the other heroes.
But the second motive was something quiet different. After Dick had explained Rachel's situation to Oracle, Babs decided to do something about the pesky DEO.
Since she signed off the night before, Barbara had hacked her way into the DEO mainframe and began to erase all records of Rachel Simmions or Falcon. From there Barbara sent fake memos to all DEO operatives, telling them that Rachel was no longer under investigations and that all attempts to capture the girl were to stop immediately. Unfortunately that was the easy part.
While Barbara was destroying all the digital information on Falcon, the DEO still had the hard copy material, such as the original paper documents on her.
Nightwing's mission (should he choose to accept it) was to infiltrate the DEO main branch and lift all documents on Falcon.
Nightwing landed his plane just outstide of DC air space. "No need to tip them off," Nightwing mused. Once he was certain of the safety of the 'wing, Nightwing pulled on a long trench coat, and some wrap around shades in order to disguise himself. But first, Nightwing contacted Oracle.
"O? Its Nightwing. Do you copy?"
"O here. Doing okay, shortpants?"
Nightwing smiled. "All's good. The plane is hidden and I'm on my way."
"Be careful Dick," Barbara said. "We don't know anything about this guy yet."
"I will Babs. I'm going into radio silence until then. Love ya."
"I love you too Dick," came the reply just as Nightwing shut down his comm.
Oracle had been able to get Nightwing some transportation, which he used to get into the city.
Nightwing's first stop was going to be DEO HQ.

-Kon, dressed as his alta ego, Conner Kent, and ran up behind Dick and said;- "Wait, I'am going too...... What is it your doing anyway?"

Nightwing was suprised it had taken Kon-El this long to approach him. He had originally picked up on the young Kryptonian as he left Gotham Air Space on his radar. Obviously Superboy had seen Nightwing's jet and had decided to follow.
At first Nightwing had been prepared to stop right there and read Kon the riot act. He didn't need as he so bluntly put it "That kid's showboating," on a very serious mission. It had been Oracle though who had saved Superboy from a well placed Bat-missile inbetween the eyes.
"DEO Headquarters is going to be tough," she had said. "Breaking in is going to be a hassle. And Superboy is alot of things, but he's a force to be reckoned with. You could use him Dick. Think about it.... Should you happen to have someone else causing some mayhem elsewhere..."
Still just because Dick was going to let Kon play, didn't mean he was going to do it without some fun of his own.
"What are you doing here Kent?" Nightwing supressed a smile as he gave Kon-El the "Look" and the "Voice."

"Graet, everyone know's my secret i.d.? It's not much of a secret i.d. if everyone know's."
"Look Dick, I know you think I'm some brash kid, but I can be of some use. Th JLA and JSA aren't here to save the world, so were what's left. I wan't to help out, not sit it out while I can be helping. I wan't a shot at this Domino guy. I never liked domino's. It wasn't ever my game!"

Nightwing winced. "Bart Allen you have THE biggest mouth..." he thought to himself.
"All right Kon," Nightwing began. "But before we go after Dominion, we're going to make a small side trip."
"And one question: How do you feel about major property damage?"

-A big grin crept on Kon's face. He tingled with excitement. " ;DI can blow up a whole country with my Tactile Telekinesis. Why " As if he had to ask! >>>Hey, is Nightwing in his costume? Because I didn't know if Kon should be in his. And how does Bart know Kon's secret I.D.?<<<

>>> Nightwing is in costume, but is wearing a trench coat and shades for a disguise. And it wasn't that Bart knows Kon's ID, but rather Dick's. I was suprised that Kon knew who Nightwing really was.
Nightwing and Superboy snuck their way into D.C. without much problem. Washington looked more like a warzone than it use too. People were rioting in the streets and Dominion's soldiers were everywhere. On more than one occasion Dick was forced to hold back Kon from attacking the soldiers who were mistreating citizens. Soon both heroes stood out side the DEO Headquarters.
"Okay kid, here's the plan, we're going to DEO HQ. I need you to keep the agents busy. Doesn't matter how. Be creative." Dick shot Kon a wicked grin. "But make sure it's big."
"Meanwhile, I'm gonna do a little recon in there. They have something very important to Oracle. Got it?"

"Dude, why don't I just go in with you? If any gaurds go at us, they'll be thrashed. Why do I need to be out here? Is it that you think I'll get in your way? Because it's probally the other way around you know, I'am the one with the super power's."

Nightwing sighed. "BECAUSE," he stated with a light twinge of annoyance. "With your abilities, they'll have their hands full. You'll be able to keep them too busy to notice me sneak in to their hall of records." He handed Superboy a comunicator. "We'll stay in contact with these. Now letme get a head start and I'll give you the signal. Nightwing placed a hand on Superboy's shoulder. "Have fun... "

>>> What did Tim say about Kon?<<<
"OOOkay!" Kon tuk the comunicator. He just didn't want to do nothing. He wanted to help out. No matter what amazing thig's he could do, Kon alway's felt worthless by how he was alway's put on the side lines. He felt like this was what Dick was doing, but he knew it made sence, and at least he got to beat on aload of guy's "Go on. And good luck! If you have any trouble, tell me, and I'll be there striaght away. Okay?"

"Thank Kon. Robin was right about you. You're a good guy to have around." Nightwing noticed that Kon wasn't thrilled about his plan, but it would be easier for one person to sneak into the DEO than two,
Nightwing removed his trenchoat and shades. Sprinting to the out wall of the HQ, Nightwing fired a grapple gun. From there he found a ventilation shaft and opened it, as he began to crawl through the vent system, he call Superboy on the comm.
"Okay Superboy, I'm in. Now lets make with the noise!"

"Okay, and be carefull, I don't want to have to bail your a$$!"
-Kon grinned and put his hands to the ground and reached out with his Tactile Telekinesis. A chain of Deo vans were all lined up across the street. They all blew up and lots of agents near the vans got blowin away by the massive explotion. They all seen Kon and called for back up. Kon shouted- "Hey, Came and get me cronnies! I'am a crazy meta!" and aload of agent came running out of the building armed ad ready to attack Superboy.

Nightwing broke into a big smile as he heard Superboy and the DEO going at it. Soon every alarm in the joint of going off. Peeking into the hall way, dozens of DEO agenst were going out to TRY and handle Superboy.
Meanwhile using the map that Oracle had shown him, Nightwing found the room of records. "Shoty security," Nightwing mused as he began to search through the files. It took about 5 minutes, but at long last he found it.
"Subject 20068. Simmions, Rachel Alias Falcon." Nightwing quickly took the file and placed it into his bag. Nightwing then began to search to make sure if they had anything about Dominion.
"Nothing..."
"Freeze!" Nightwing turned around to find one very nervous looking DEO agent. Obviously new to the agency. "Y-you're under arrest! You have the right to remain silent,"
"Waived." Nightwing said as he leapt into the air. In one quick movement the DEO agent was disarmed and out. Crawling back into the vents, nightwing made his way out of the HQ. Once he was back outside, Dick noticed Kon mocking the DEO.
"Having fun?" Nightwing asked over their com.

"I got what we needed. I was thinking we make tracks unless you wanted to put a few more DEO agents through the wall..."
Nightwing waved up at Kon. He had to admit, that if Kon hadn't been there, it would have taken a lot longer for Nightwing to break in to the DEO. But when Kon set off all the Alarms in his attacks, Dick didn't need to worry abotu finese. He was able to get in and out with no problem.
(Robin had once said that Kon was really hard headed but a great friend.)
