After a fight with Trigon, Dick is pulled through a portal into hell and finds himself badly injured in a completely hostile world.
Left to his own devices and surrounded by all kinds of monsters, Dick has only one option. Survive as long as possibl...
Damian was just walking down the main corridor of the Manor's second floor, on his way to his room so he could tinker with some new gadgets. His father was on a business trip and wouldn't be back until nightfall and for the boy, this would be the best use of his time.
He had just arrived at the railing of the foyer when he noticed someone on the first floor.
Richard was putting on his shoes in front of the large entrance door. Apparently the older man was going somewhere.
Curious, Damian descended the main staircase while addressing him from afar:
"You're going out?"
Surprised, Dick turned around and replied only somewhat perplexed:
"Y-Yes...I have plans."
Now the boy only got more curious: "Oh yeah? What kind of plans?"
Damian now came to a stop in front of his counterpart and watched him closely. He seemed nervous somehow and his put-on smile wasn't as carefree as usual either. More artificial.
The taller one struggled with his answer and thought hard until he finally seemed to come to a decision and opened his mouth after all:
"You know what, why don't you just come with me?"
Damian just crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow:
"You serious Grayson? You want to drag me along on one of your chick dates? I really didn't think you were that pathetic."
Now Dick's eyebrows went up as well, because he was visibly puzzled by this sentence:
"Who said anything about any dates? I'm not meeting someone, if that's what you mean."
Damian just got more curious and snorted:
"Then where were you going?"
Perkily, Richard winked at him: "You'd have to come with me to find out."
With a "tt," the boy just turned disapprovingly: "I don't have time for your absurd shenanigans Grayson. There are more important things to do."
Damian was about to climb back up the first step of the main staircase when it was called out to him: "Well, I'd have been surprised, if you would have come. After all, Bruce was always afraid of it too, coward!"
Damian paused and turned slowly as he growled: "What did you call me?"
Dick just pulled his shoulders up innocently: "A coward."
A devilish grin spread across the taller man's face as he continued: "Like your father."
Incited, the boy stomped over to a nearby closet and pulled out a jacket, as well as shoes, before saying: "Nobody calls me a coward!"
Damian didn't see the amused grin on Richard's face as he donned both and vigorously opened the front door.
