Tom is pure hero worship. He thinks Dick is the coolest thing ever and if Iniss ever lets him/he gets a chance, there will be a request for an autograph and it will probably end up hanging on the wall of his room at the Winchester house. (Right next to Wedge's, if he ever manages to get it)
Iniss is more complicated, on the scale of allies he probably considers Nightwing one of the more important. Though he's always aware that Nightwing is the law here, and therefore he needs to be cautious, so he'd like to keep past misdeeds off the table. He likes Nightwing and trusts him to follow the laws. Even if he doesn't like the laws. Which is beneficial. Because that means he knows, for the most part, where he stands with Nightwing. And for someone like Iniss, knowing where he stands is a big deal. He knows he's a tool, and he has no problem being used and using Dick right back for security.
