Bruce's POV:
As soon as Alfred contacted me I left the business conference and sped back to the manor. Once I get to the cave, I find Tim asleep in a chair while Jason is sitting outside the confinement cell. Jason stands up, "We had to put him in the confinement cell.. he violently woke up." I look through the one way mirror of the cell. Dick is sat on the bed staring down at the floor; he's hooked up to an IV a cast covering it with bandages running up his forearms. The cell's lights are also dimmer and sounds has been minimized. Jason puts his head down, "We found him in a Court of Owls facility. Um.. we found him.. um.." I look at him. Jason clears his throat, "He.. um.. tried to kill himself.. that's what the bandages on his arms are for.." he mutters. No.. he wouldn't.. I look at Dick on the bed. Dick is now trying to get the cast off mumbling to himself, "I darkened the room and sound proofed it a bit.. whatever the Court did to him caused a enhancement in sight and sound sensitivity." I nod. I can't look at him any longer... so I leave the cave.
Jason's POV:
I can't believe he just left the cave.. his son is catatonic! I keep my anger under control and Alfred brings down some broth for Dick, "It is good to have you back, Master Jason." He says. I smile, "I wish Bruce felt the same.." I say. Alfred sighs, "Give him time.. he's blaming himself enough about Master Dick." I feel a bit guilty about being mad at him but...  never mind. I take the broth from Alfred and bring it into the confinement cell, "Dick..? I have something for you to eat." I tell him. Dick pauses and watches me as I put the broth in front of him. Dick stares at the broth as I leave the confinement cell. Damien's waiting outside, "You look terrible.. go sleep." I chuckle, "Thanks Demon Spawn.. but I got to watch Dick." Damien crosses his arm, "No. I'll watch Dick for a few hours. I'll get you if something happens." I give up and go to my old room. I fall asleep almost immediately.

Dick hasn't eaten or slept in the past 4 days. Bruce hasn't been seen once since he came back.. Tim, Dami, and I all have been rotating to watch Dick. Alfred suggested to give him nutrients through his IV and something to help him sleep. Tim brought down Dick's comforter to put on the bed in the cell, hoping it would give him something familiar. I enter the room with the comforter and sedative hidden in my belt. I get to the IV line and insert the mild sedative into the fluids. I switch the fluids out for the nutrients; I then approach the bed and put the comforter around his shoulders. Dick flinches and tenses at the sudden contact. I leave the cell before he could lash out, but soon Dick relaxes. Dick then decides to lay back before he could fall forward, and passes out. I sit in the chair and am startled by Damien, "Before you order me.. no." I say. Dami rolls his eyes, "You can't help Grayson if your sleep deprived, Todd." He says. I sigh, "Not right now, Demon Spawn. I will in a bit." Dami groans, "Fine." Damien walks off. I look back at the sleeping Grayson, "Your giving us a run for our money, Dickie." I exhaustedly mumble. I fall asleep in the chair soon after.
