For a while now Dick had been staring at the poster. But he wasn't really thinking about his parents anymore. He couldn't remember them. He knew that it was better like this, but how messed up do you have to be so you erase your own memory. He understood and at the same time didn't, but from all he knew he had two choices back then with that Slade. 1Live with him forever 2Erase his memory. There was a knock at the door "You can come in" Dick told whoever stood at the door. Bruce came in and sat down next to him on the bed, the same spot Jason had sat at. Without warning Bruce hugged him for, at least in his memory, the first time. Bruce let go and said "I'm so sorry, I should have been there. I could have saved you." Dick smiled at him warmly "I don't think it's your fault. This Slade blackmailed me. I just need to know: Did you look for me?" Bruce smiled at his son "Of course we did, I threw everything to the side and immediately came to Jump City when I heard. But Slade didn't even leave one clue, he didn't want to be found and he was good at hiding. And you awoke near Metropolis miles away from Gotham." Bruce still bad at expressing his feelings left the room, left the boy alone again.
The moment Bruce stepped out of the room Jason pinned him at the wall, he could easily free himself but he didn't want to. He wanted to hear why Jason was angry again. Why his eyes were glowing green again. "You monster" Jason snarled under his breath "What?" Bruce asked knowing everything what Jason said was influenced by the Lazarus Pit "You monster" Jason said now louder "Taking away our lives our innocent childhoods turning us into your little soldiers. Dick literally gave up his life. Where are you when we need you!?" Jason got quite loud with the last sentence. "Where were you when Babs got shot? Where were you when Damian grew up? Where were you when Steph needed someone to trust? Where were you when Tim got turned into Joker Jr.? Where were you when I died? Where were you when Dick got tortured to the point of erasing his life? Where Bruce? Let me guess you were brooding or you were working on a case that was more important then your kids your family." With that Jason let go of Bruce and stormed of.
Tim, Damian and Steph saw Jason storming in his room, Steph smiled "I think this is the first time I see you two working together." Both boys glared at her Tim stated "I wanted to go alone, Damian shouldn't even still be awake. His a little child." Damian threw the Bat-glare at Tim "I am the superior Robin and I stay awake way longer when I'm on patrol." To stop Tim and Damian from fighting Steph started walking over to Jason's room, Tim and Damian quickly followed. When they entered the room. Jason's eyes were glowing green probably some of the strongest glowing greens they had ever seen, like a green lantern light. Jason looked up at them from another world, his head wanting to kill Bruce for all these kids in the room. His heart knew that Bruce had saved them from becoming villains or dying, but his other part the Lazarus part had so many points about why Bruce was an awful person. The group of people in the room were thinking if they could talk with Jason right now or if he would kill them. Tim decided to take his chances "Hey Jason, Jaybird, I wanted to ask why you didn't kill Rose too?" Jason talked like he was absent maybe dwelling in memories, maybe fighting against the Lazarus pit "We were friends. We knew each other from school, that was when I was Robin. We would always talk a lot about our fathers. They didn't know we were friends they wouldn't have allowed it. She knew who I was and I knew who she was I couldn't bare back then to kill her. Now all I want to know is: Did she know where Dick was, did she lie to me when I asked her?" Tim just wanted to tell Jason something when they heard glass shatter.
Dick woke up in the middle of the night when he heard glass shatter near him. He jumped up from his bed into something he presumed being a fighting pose. Interesting... that meant just because his memory was gone his personality and skills weren't... actually logical. He looked around the room that got quite cold seeing a white haired girl in front of the window "You're Ravager the girl I wanted to ask for help" Dick stated. He could identify her even through she wore one of these ridiculous outfits. Ravager said with venom in her voice "You're Dick Grayson the boy that destroyed my family" Dick didn't know what the girl was talking about so he asked curious "What do you mean?" The girl glared at him "After you vanished I thought we could finally be a normal family again, but no. My father searched for you for 6 years always ignoring me Not now I have a new lead about where Robin is and even before that it was always I can't right now I have a new plan to get Robin you were more important to my father then I ever were." With that she pulled out two katanas and Dick saw that she had a gun with her. Rose attacked him and Dick dodged the attack. Her katanas easily sliced through the wood of the bed. Not really knowing what he was doing Dick jumped at the wall and pushed himself away from it flying right at Ravager kicking her at the shoulder dislocating it. Ravager held her shoulder for a second and then immediately went back to fight mode. She attacked Dick again both katanas pointing at him. He dodged, this time ran to her side taking the gun, taking a few steps back and pointed the gun at her forehead. In that moment his door flew open Steph, Damian, Tim and Jason standing in the doorway. Jason's eyes turned green at the sight of the scene, he pulled out a gun (Did he have that all the time?!) and shot Ravager at the forehead now understanding the truth. Ravagers eyes flew open in shock and she fell over blood rolling from her forehead. Dick let the unused gun he was holding fall and ran over to Ravagers corps, Steph and Tim still staring at Jason, who got shouted at by Damian. "HOW COULD YOU? YOU SAID YOU HAD IT UNDER CONTROL! HOW DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THIS TO FATHER!?" Damian normally wasn't the kind to shout but this, it... just set him off. He had seen many murders in his life, he had seen Jason kill often, damn it he had killed many people in his life. He wasn't sure why this set him off more. Jason knew he did the right thing he didn't have to explain himself. Bruce who had heard the shouting from his study came up seeing a sight he didn't expected. He turned to Tim knowing he would not lie to him "What happened? Who shot Ravager?" Tim started looking away from the corpse and at Bruce "We heard glass shatter so we came over, seeing Dick pointing a gun at Ravager and Jason shot Ravager." Bruce wanted to turn to Jason but he was gone, Bruce threw a look over at Dick and stormed of to Jason's room. While Steph rushed over to Dick.
Jason walked around in his room, opened a suitcase on the bed, he was just searching through his cabinet when he said out loud "I know you're there Bruce." Bruce not surprised asked Jason "What are you doing?" Jason replied cold "Packing" Bruce asked not giving any facial expression "Why did you shoot Ravager? You were childhood friends." Jason didn't know that Bruce knew, but he didn't care right now. "She lied to me about not knowing where Dick was. Dick was about to shoot her, I couldn't let him. You hate me anyways so I shot her first." Jason turned around holding a gun right at Bruce's chest warning him "I suggest you leaving me alone now" Bruce could easily take away the gun not harming anyone, both knew that and still Bruce just turned around and left. A few minutes later Jason left moving to his safe house again.
Dick held Ravagers hand while sitting next to her, his head hurt. It reminded him of something, he heard people screaming, he heard people crushing on the ground, he tasted the blood on his lips again. Again? He closed his eyes trying to ignore the headache, but he couldn't. So he let go off Ravagers hand and held his head. Steph rushed over to him worried "Dick? Are you alright?" Dick started talking out of reflex in Rumanian „Nu știu, îmi amintesc că oamenii cădeau și țipau că doare atât de tare" Tim walked over to them, explaining "We should get Bruce Rumanian is one of the few languages I can't speak." Damian that had just listened till a few seconds ago now went in the hallway looking for Bruce, he didn't have to look long because Bruce came rushing over to them. Damian explained shortly "Grayson started speaking in Rumanian" Bruce nodded and told Damian "It's 1 o'clock, go to sleep" Damian knew that discussing was useless so he left. Bruce now wanted to rush over to Dick's room, but again something came in his way. He heard the doorbell rang, who could want anything from him at this time? Knowing Alfred was sleeping he went down and opened the door surprised by seeing six people he knew standing there: Barry Allen (Flash), Wally West (Kid Flash), Rachel Roth (Raven), Garfield Logan (Beastboy), Victor Stone (Cyborg) and Koriand'r (Starfire). Wally started speaking, you noticed that he tried to slow down all the time "Hey Bruce, where's Dick? I'm sorry we're so late because Lois locked us in the celler telling us to leave you alone for a while because Dick lost his memory. But you can't lock six people with superpowers in the celler for long, so we managed to get out. And get over here, so where's Dick?" Bruce frowned.
