"How in the hell are we supposed to do that?" Roy snorted as Dick explained his plan, "We just have to look for extra, alright, extra of that stuff," 'Great Plan,' "shut up," Dick groaned as he slammed his head onto the table, earning a worry filled glance from Roy, "Excuse me?" he asked as he walked away, "It's a long story," Dick huffed, "Well I got time," "But I don't, i'll explain on the way,"

 Ace gasped as he felt himself wake up, "W-what?" he whimpered as he tried to move himself, only to find himself restrained, "What's this...?" it was some kind of goo? All he knew was it was very thick, he struggled as he felt himself sinking, "Ace," "Dick?!" Ace gasped as he tried to look around, he manged to free an arm as he tried to push himself up. "Dick!" he smiled as he saw Dick standing on a platform, "Thank goodness, give a speedster a hand?" 

 "Your worthless," Dick frowned as he crossed his arms, "What?" Ace frowned, "Yeah I know, now stop playing around and help me" "I know what you did, your a monster, how can I even TRUST you?" Dick growled as he only watched Ace struggle more, "What are you talking about?!" Ace cried out as he felt something brush against his foot.

 "You killed your family Ace," another voice sounded as Bruce crossed his arms, also on the platform, "I didn't!" Ace cried as he felt tears about to spill, "You did," Alfred gave a disapproving  glare as he and the others stared at Ace, who was neck deep. "Monster," "Murder," "Worthless," they all seemed to chant as something wrapped around his foot. 

 Their voices muffled out as he felt himself being pulled under. "Ronin," a sweet voice spoke, Ace found himself looking up slowly even though he knew who it was. "Look at me, my son" Green eyes met Brown as Ace found himself sobbing. "Mom..?" he sniffled as he saw Mari, her face was torn, a hole was in her dress as blood stained around it.

 "YoUR a MoNStER," she screamed in his face as he face rotted in front of him, her eyes turned grey as her skin fell off. "NO I'M NOT!!" 

 Ace felt something stab through him, a hand on his shoulder kept him in place as they turned it, turning it the other way as the slowly pulling it out as Ace shakily looked up, Dick smiled as he leaned closer to his ear, "Good night,"

 Ace sat up as he held his head, "No.." he cried out as he tried to calm himself, 'Dramatic much?' a voice asked as a hand pulled Ace out of the bed he was placed on, 'Howdy there Ace! I'm Ace!' a similar figure to Ace smiled at him, "What..?" Ace questioned as he looked at the other, it was him? But he was him? But he was there?

 'You don't understand do you?' the other asked as Ace could only shake his head as he tried to find words, 'Well while you where asleep, a dude broke in and injected you with something, because why not? And you have like a few days to find it again, before I take over!' Ace frowned as he tried to remember something, "This sounds familiar..." 'It's the same thing happening to Dick,' "What's going on with Dick?" 'Oh nothing, but the same thing as you is happening to Dick,' 

'But, anywho, did you see him yet?' Ace gave a weird look to the other,  "wha-" 

"Howdy,"
