A Hero or a Talon?

The Batcave

I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION BEFORE WE START THIS! So, I want to recreate a scene from the Young Justice show, but I'm not sure which mission I should use. Anyone have any suggestions for a mission I should recreate???

A nine year old Dick Grayson was seen in a small black room with only a small light above him, and another small light over a target with several ninja stars embedded in it, but none seemed to be on or anywhere near the middle.

"Again." Dick flinched at the voice as his Uncle stepped out of the shadows.

Dick threw another ninja star, but he only made it further from the middle than all his previous attempts.

"Can I please go to sleep? I'm tired and you said I could actually get sleep tonight." Dick pleaded as he resisted a yawn. He could barley keep his eyes open and he was exhausted from the constant training. He could even be seen swaying slightly.

"No! Not until you can make three perfect shots in the middle."

"B-but..... I can't. I can't do it." His uncles expression than immediately changed as he walked up to Dick and put his hands around his neck and began choking him.

"Then find out how to, because if not, then you aren't ever going to leave this room, much less go to sleep."

Dick nodded slightly as the air was being sucked out of him and the room began to spin, but his Uncle did not kill him, he simply threw him to the floor. Though, Dick would have preferred if he did kill him because what came next was something no one should ever have to go through. And that was made evident when the room was filled with the sounds of screaming and sobbing.

Robin quickly sat up observing his surroundings. He was on a cold metal table and he was in what appeared to be a large cave. He had no idea where he was. The last thing he remembered was a clown guy holding a gun to Batmans head. What had happened after that? Was Batman dead?

How was he knocked unconscious? Who brought him here?

Then Robin started panicking as he realized that the Court of Owls could have taken him. He had never seen this place before, but they were constantly changing location [1], so it was possible that they had found him and taken him back. Though, he found that hard to believe. If the Court had found him he probably would have been chained or strapped to the table. Not let loose.

"You're awake." A voice said and Dick quickly pulled out the first weapon he could find in his utility belt: Ninja stars.

The weapon choice immediately reminded him of his dream, but he choose to ignore his nightmare.

"It's okay." The owner of the voice stepped out and Robin realized that it was Batman.

"What are you doing here? Actually, what am I doing here?"

"You were shot by the Joker. The bullet had been laced with poison. If I had not brought you here, you would have died." Robin then looked down to see that his stomach had been bandaged up and the color red was seeping through the clean white layers of bandage.

"You helped me?"

"Yes, why would I not?"

"You said it yourself. I'm a criminal." Robin turned his head so he didn't have to face Batman.

"That doesn't mean that you deserve to die." Robin tensed.That was something he had been telling himself and the court for pretty much his entire life. No one deserves to die, but those words had only caused Robin more pain than harm. The Court of Owls was highly against his no killing rule, and they constantly attempted to torture the idea out of him.

Robin didn't respond, but began looking around," What is this place?"

"It's-" Batman started, but was interrupted.

"Wait, this is a cave. So.... It's a Bat-Cave!" Robin laughed as if he was the first person to come up with that name.

Batman ignored him,"You should rest."

"I'll be fine."

"You were just shot."

Robin rolled his eyes. He didn't need to be treated like a kid,"I'll be fine. I've been though worse."

"What you've been through doesn't matter right now. What's matters is that you've been shot and almost lost your life." Batmans tone softened slightly. This kid he barely knew risked his life for him. Why?

"But I didn't die. I'm feeling better and I want to go home." Robin surprised himself by using the word home. He definitely would not have picked that name for his small apartment room, but then again, it technically was his home now.

Then a small whoosh was heard and Robin tensed as he felt something small pierce his neck. His hands immediately flew to his neck revealing what had caused the small pain. It was a dart. Batman watched as Robin began to get dizzy and he could barely keep his eyes open.

Robin turned and saw an old man with a weapon in his hands that had most likely shot the dart," Thank you, Agent A." Was the last thing Robin heard before he felt himself collapse.

When Robin woke up in the Bat-mobile, he was not happy. For one, he had no idea where he was or why (again), and Batman had actually knocked him unconscious with a dart (well, it was actually Agent A, but whatever).

"Get out." Batman spoke as he noticed Robins sudden movement.

"What?" Robin asked as he began to realize his surroundings. He had a large headache and his eyes were still taking time to adjust in the dark vehicle.

"Get out of the car. I helped you. Now you can go back to where you live. Just like you wanted." The door then opened itself and Robin saw that they were parked within an alleyway in Gotham.

"Okay..." Robin slowly stepped out of the vehicle, slightly wincing as pressure was added on his injury. Then as soon as he was fully out of the vehicle, the door closed, and Batman sped off without a word.

"Seriously?" Robin groaned as he looked around. He wasn't exactly sure where he was on Gotham and even if he did, his new injury didn't agree with walking nor running, but he walked anyways. Hopefully, it wouldn't take him too long to get back to his little apartment room.

[1] Okay, so I know the Court is actually an organization within Gotham, but for the purpose of this story, I am making them switch locations.
Also, I recently discovered that it was actually Dicks Great Grandfather that was part of the Court, but I'm not going to change it because....well... I'm just not going to.
