I am absolutely livid beyond comprehension. Why on this god green earth IS DICK BEING HELD IN THE DUNGEON IN THE LAIR!? Right now I'm letting out every bit of my anger on a talon but I'm waiting; waiting for an opportunity to get down there and get him the hell out here. It was quite surprising to find that he's fucking Nightwing. We'll be having a conversation about THAT later. They have Nightwing unknowingly they're holding Dick. I only recognized him cause I knew that ever familiar presence anywhere; I knew it was Dick just from seeing his face, I didn't need to see his eyes. When seeing him I wanted to jump out, I wanted to get him out of here right then and there but I couldn't without getting either one of us; more like both of us, killed.

*small time skip*
Changing into actual clothes that I got on one my adventures to outside, a simple black tank top, black skinny jeans, black crop leather jacket, and a black mask that just covers my lower half of my face; I have a few knives, throwing stars, and a short sword hidden on me for obvious reasons. Quickly I move to the dungeon where Dick's being held; torches were lit on either side of his cell and I stood just barely on the edge of the light. Seeing him; chained with his feet barely touching the ground with injuries, they're minor but he's still hurt, makes me hesitant a moment. Was I really ready to see him; honestly if I'm ready or not doesn't matter cause I have to get him out of here. So I walk into the light and he lifts his head up; the side of his left face was bleeding and a look of confusion appears on his face "Who are you." His voice wasn't necessarily deep but it wasn't all that high either; somewhere rightly in the middle and I wanted nothing more than hug my brother right then and there, I wanted to cry. Though I steeled my emotions and just walk forward, not saying anything yet. I open the cell and he braces himself and I wave my hand dismissively and reach up freeing his hands from the shackles. I was taller than him but for being a talon I was still short; can't win them all. He cautiously watches me as he leans against the wall, a sort of batglare towards me "Answer my question, who are you." I really just raise a finger to my hidden lips and take his arm wrapping it around my shoulder and start leading him out. There was small limp in his step; again nothing too bad but it still could slow us down so I just get him on my back. Luckily this jacket has a hood on it so I'm completely covered from him seeing me. He just sighs slightly but doesn't say anything. Moving silently through the lair slowly making our way out; we get almost there when a screech was let out through of the compound and I ran the rest of the way out. It was easy; really easy to run while carrying him, further reminding me I'm not human anymore.

I'm getting deeper in the city edge of Gotham; running along the rooftops but being mindful of his injuries when I felt that we was being followed. Well that didn't take long but it's not all that surprising either. I move faster cause with Dick being injured I can't really get in a fight with depending on how many is following us and I know it's gonna be plenty. Okay now I'm just looking for someone else that's part of the batfamily; and speak of the devil, that's when I heard his come go off with frantic voices. I couldn't really hear what was being said but he told them "The Court had a hold of me and complete stranger just got me out, though back up would be nice cause we're getting chased and I have injuries and be no good in a fight against that many." Okay I know he'll be able to hold his own for a short while. What sounded like coordinates was given and it was the place me and Batman would meet up, he might be guessing it was me that helped Dick get out. I change my direction and start heading that way. But when I looked behind me there was more than what I previously saw. Yeah I definitely can't go back without being killed now; being a deserter of the Court is something I'll happily take the title of. When getting in the actual city I notice other hero's are definitely staying away from us but heading to the same destination as us; though what heroes I don't know yet. Although of course it wasn't going to be that easy cause right in front of me and Dick was none other than The Talon. I had to stop and take a step back but stop as the talons that was chasing us coming to a halt. Well isn't this a pickle. I let Dick down but still hold his arm around my shoulder. "Talon. This treacherous act will be forgiven if you return with Nightwing." Dick almost tries to rip out of my grasp but I hold to his waist and let his arm go, raise my hand up, and flip him off, in a sort of monotone voice "Like hell I'll be doing anything of the sort so you and every talon here can fuck off." I could just see the anger rolling off his body but the talons do start to leave as heroes; seeming the Justice League, showed up. The Talon growls and leaves as well when Superman lands next to Dick and I. He watches; making sure Talon leaves, and turns his sight to me. Glares of all sorts are being shot at me but holds no effect. Batman walks up to me and Dick and I pass him off to the Dark Knight. "So, I'm assuming your finally leaving the Court." Looks of shock shows on the faces around us and that's when the rest of the bat kids appear surrounding Dick and Batman keeping me at a distance away. I just continue to look at Batman and nod my head. "And you're going to actually reveal yourself now." And that's where I hesitate a second time this night and look towards Dick. I move to walk up to him but that's when they really block my path so I completely disarm myself for the first time in too long a time and they relaxed a bit. When they slowly stopped blocking me off other heroes got next to Dick, it looked like Kid Flash and Red Arrow, but a good few others I wasn't entirely familiar with. Holding my hands up I move forward again till I was standing in front of Dick. I pulled the hood and mask off and utter surprise, shock, relief, and sadness and many more mixed as one showed on his face and his eyes widens significantly as silent tears tracks down his face in the bunches. I give something equivalent of a smile; something else I haven't done in so long "Hey Dickie; it seems you really haven't forgotten about me huh."
