Finally Dick got out of the train and into the known unknown streets of Gotham. He had to find Wayne Manor, or at least the guide said that Bruce Wayne lived in Wayne Manor. He walked around for awhile fascinated at how dark this city was compared to Metropolis. After a while he decided to ask someone, he went over to a white haired girl "Hey excuse me where is Wayne Manor?" He asked politely the girl had a spark in her one eye and grinned as if she knew exactly what to say, but then she acted confused "Aren't you Dick Grayson, you should know where you're home is, shouldn't you?" Dick smiled at her "You will tell me I'm crazy, but I lost my memory could you please tell me now where Wayne Manor is?" This destroyed the entire plan of the girl and she just wanted to reply something when a boy also around 17 years old came down in between the both a grappling hook in his hand. He looked... weird Dick thought, he had black hair, a black mask over his eyes, a cape and mostly red outfit. The boy seemed to know the white haired girl and Dick. The boy smiled and told the girl "Hey Ravager I would love to put you in jail again, maybe another time see ya" then he grabbed Dick by the arm and ran off with him. The girl with the white hair that seemed to be called Ravager stayed back stunned, she didn't know what surprised her more. That Dick had lost his memory or that Red Robin hadn't put her in jail.

Red Robin and Dick entered an alley and then stopped. Red Robin eyed Dick and the mysterious device for a second then he smiled brightly "It's so nice to finally meet you, Jason told us a lot about you. Where were you all the time?" Dick just looked at him still confused "I'm sorry who is Jason? And who are you?" Red Robin smiled at him, thinking Dick was trying to keep their identity's secret. So before they could continue talking Red Robin grabbed him by the arm again and ran off to Wayne Manor with him.

They entered the batcave where already a few other teenagers and two grown men waited for them, and Dick didn't know any of them. One of the men with dark grey hair, blue eyes, black clothes with some kind of bat symbol on it and a cape, came over to him. It seemed the man had took of the mask but left on the rest of the weird looking suit, just like the other people in the room. Except the other grown man, he wore a normal suit. The man with that bat symbol kneed down to his height. Now Dick noticed he had seen this man before! This was Bruce Wayne the man from all the guides! Bruce told him looking like he didn't really know what to say "Hey Dick, nice that you're back. We were really worried, we thought you were dead... Where were you for the last 7 years?" This man was so bad at expressing his emotions. Dick politely smiled a bit "I'm sorry I lost my memory and can't really remember any of you..." the eyes of the people in the room widened. A girl in a wheelchair came a bit nearer she asked concerned "Aren't we maybe triggering some memory?" While another boy with a white strip in his black hair nearly shouted "Who did it? I'm going to @#$%&§€ kill who did that to you!" His eyes turned green for a second till they turned back to his light blue eyes. A boy standing next to the boy that had just shouted told that other boy "Todd you know that if he lost his memory he won't remember who did it to him" rolling his eyes. The most people just stared at Dick stunned. All with different thoughts, for Tim Dick was something like a childhood hero, without him Tim would have never been a Robin. Bruce analysed Dick "Could I have that device please" Bruce asked Dick, pointing at the machine Dick still held tight in his grip, not knowing who he could trust. If he could trust them. But from everything he heard, read and seen this was his family and you trust family's, right? He handed the device to Bruce and the moment Bruce touched it, it glowed, Bruce placed it on the ground already suspecting what would happen "Hey Bruce when you hear this you've just found me or I found you somehow. How is Jason? How is Babs? Do you have a new Robin? I- I have to explain you what happened because, I'm sorry. Slade blackmailed me into working for him, he had nanobots in the Titans. After a while I noticed that he lied they only worked for a few months not for decades, but it was to late already I couldn't leave his hideout anymore. He has beaten me, tortured me for hours. But he would never kill me. He made me unsure of my morals of who I'm supposed to be, but I promise you I never killed. He wanted me to kill often, but I would I rather get punished again. Then I somehow got out, now I'm sitting in a cave near Metropolis with a device in my hand I secretly built. It will knock me out for a few years and wipe my memory away. I don't know if you can understand this but I can't continue living with the memory of the torture the beating and not knowing who I am." He went quiet for a second and then continued "Bruce... No matter what I said the night I ran away from the manor I love you dad and I'm so sorry." It stopped they all stared at the device and then at Dick who still stared at the device, that was a lot information. He looked up and asked "Who is Slade? And who are the Titans?" Instead of an answer Jason came over to him and hugged him, being the only one except Bruce and Babs that had really known him. The others only knew what Jason had told them, always hopes up that Dick would just come in through the door one day. Bruce didn't want anyone to know what happened to Dick. The Justice League only got the explanation he vanished and is now declared dead for us of course the JL knew there was more behind it... Bruce Wayne hadn't told the reporters anything and all the Dick Grayson fans out there had the weirdest conspiracy ideas about where Dick Grayson was. Jason let go of Dick and replied "Slade is the man who kidnapped you... I killed him many years ago." With that he left the room. Everyone knew that Slade was killed, but the murderer was never found, not even by the worlds greatest detective.

"...I don't know how yet but somehow dad" the white haired girl known as Ravager aka. Rose said sitting in front of the grave again. "Do you remember when everything was fine? When we were just an ordinary family? Do you remember when I was six, Jericho was eight and Grant nine? We had just practised guitar all together when you finally came home from the army after months? Mom greeted you from the kitchen? It was the day before Christmas, just a few months later Jericho, Grant and I were kidnapped by these people they killed Grant and took Jerichos voice. Before they could do something to me you saved Jericho and me. That was the point where everything fell apart. You got obsessed... you became a villain and all I ever wanted was your approval. Then you found Robin and obsessed about him becoming your apprentice and the replacement for Grant. You always said that they were so similar... And that everything would be fine soon. Then you had him but still didn't have time for me. Then Robin ran away and you spent your last years looking for him. Till you were murdered."

The Wayne family sat at the dinner table, Barbara had to leave and now they had dinner. There was a weird silence till Dick asked "So who are you all?" The boy with the white strip in his black hair said smiling "I'm Jason Todd 2nd Robin, Bruce found me when I stole the tires of the Batmobile, I died as Robin then came back as Red Hood and I kill. And I am not a hero" A boy younger then Jason that Dick only knew as Red Robin told him "I'm Tim Drake, 3rd Robin I found out who Batman was and demanded to be Robin after a few disagreements I quit and became Red Robin." A blonde girl explained "I'm Stephanie Brown 4th Robin I was Robin for 71 days. Then I became the 2nd Batgirl till I became Spoiler." The youngest boy explained calmly "I'm Damian Wayne the only real blood son here, 5th Robin and the superior one. I was raised by the league of assassins." Then they went quiet again, they all wanted to say something, but what should they talk about? It was all so confusing. Finally when they were finished with dinner Jason got up grabbed Dick by the arm and told the others "I'm showing Dickie his room" Dickie? Is that his nickname wasn't Dick already a nickname? And really? Dickie? That was the best nickname they could come up with? Jason pulled Dick to a room with blue walls, a blue bed, cabinet and a poster of some acrobats with the title The flying Graysons on the wall. Jason sat next to Dick on the blue bed after he had closed the door. Jason hugged him again let go and explained "I was Robin when you vanished at the time you were the only real family member for me... Well except for Bruce. And even though you hated Bruce you would sometimes visit in the middle of the night, Bruce never noticed." Jason smiling at the thought. "You were the greatest older brother I could have wished for at the time. And what I'm trying to say is you can always talk to me if you have questions or need help. The other Batfamily members never really knew you. Ignoring Bruce and Babs. Bruce thought ignoring you would make you just vanish from the minds of the citizens, reporters and us. But the opposite happened, you do not want to know how many Fanfiction about where Dick Grayson is exist." Jason had to chuckle a bit, he had read some when he had felt bored in the past. Dick had of course listened to his younger older brother (this is confusing) but he didn't look at him once when Jason had held his monologue, instead he had stared at the wall or more specific at the Flying Grayson poster, Jason had said he could ask him anything right? Dick asked "Are these my parents?" Still staring at the poster, Jason smiled a bit and sighed "Yeah they were, they were murdered when you were 9, they fell to their deaths in the circus you lived in back then. Bruce was a witness, he then adopted you and you were the first Robin." Dick still stared at the poster Jason understood that he should leave the boy alone with his thoughts for now.
