Synopsis for "Lost Pages: Teen Titans"

The Teen Titans were gathered and suddenly Robin left without saying goodbye. Kid Flash realized what day it was and went looking for Robin. Dick was walking on the beach and wanted to be left alone. Kid Flash was aware of what was happening and Dick explained that he was feeling guilty for not honoring his parents on the anniversary of their deaths. He compared himself with Batman and how he would place roses ever year on his parents' grave and in Crime Alley. Kid Flash told him that if he was done beating himself, he should join him back to the Titans Tower I. When they arrived, Robin realized that all the Titans were reunited and together they told him that despite having lost a family when he was a kid, he has made a new one with them. Dick remembered the training with his parents and how the safety net would prevent him from falling and he told the Titans that they were the best safety net a man could ask for.

Synopsis for "Nightwing's Romances"

Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson are eating clementines when Barbara asks Dick when was the first time he lost his breath for a woman. Dick wouldn't tell her and Barbara started guessing with all the possible names of the girls that Dick have been related to at some point.

After a while, Barbara gave up and she told him that it must have been one of the Titans or perhaps the new batgirl. Dick told her that she was getting warmer and Barbara was really angry at him for telling her that he lost his breath over the new batgirl. Placing a clementine slice on Barbara's mouth, Dick told her that she was wrong because it was not the new batgirl who made him lost his breath for the first time ever and they both stared at each other.
