A/n: Dick wakes up and things take a turn from bad to worst.
*mentions of self harm*

Hours has passed since both Dick was brought to the hospital and Bruce took the others back to Wayne Manor.

Laying still within his hospital bed, Dick's eyes began to flutter open. He squinted his eyes, adjusting to the dim light in the hospital room. He began to sit up slightly in the bed, but got a huge wave a dizziness and laid back down. He turned his head to look around the room.

"J-jay?" Dick asked and tried to see if his little brother was in the room with him. "Jaybird?" But Dick got no response.

He was alone.

An odd feeling formed within his stomach. He felt alone and not wanted at the moment, his depression rising up in him, clouding his mind.
Dick quickly shook his head, he couldn't allow those feelings or depressing thoughts to effect him right now.

Dick recently has been battling with these types of feelings and thoughts and they were slowly taking over him, growing too strong and he had no idea how to stop it. So, he began to cut. He cut to feel something, when he was numb. He cut when he was stressed out, when he was upset, over worked, over whelmed, nervous, fearful, hopeless, and much more.

Dick didn't want to wait for his dizziness to past. He sits up and begins looking for his phone but it, along with his siblings were nowhere to be found.

"H-hello?" voiced Dick and was met with silence for about a few seconds before a nurse came in and turned the main lights in the room on.

"Oh, you're awake. Are you in any pain or need anything?" the nurse said moving closer towards him.

"I'm fine. I just need t-to call my brother. Can I get a phone or..." said Dick but was cut off by the nurse standing before him.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you call anyone" the nurse said. Dick let out a tiny chuckle and looked confused at the nurse.

"What? W-what do you mean you can't let me? Why not?" Dick said.

"Because..." the nurse said but Dick cut her off before she could say any more.

"Look, I'll get some rest. I promise. I just really... really need to call my brother and check on him and my other siblings. Come on, please" Dick said, almost begging the nurse who sighed and shook her head no.

"Why?" questioned Dick.

"Because, we were given very strick orders to not let you make any phone calls or leave the hospital" the nurse said.

Dick sat up more straight in the bed and starred at the nurse, not understanding what she was talking about.
"W-what? Orders from who?" Dick asked.

"Your father. Bruce Wayne." said the nurse.

Dick shook his head 'no' quickly, throwing the sheets off of him and pushing himself off the bed. The nurse went over towards him quickly and tried to keep him placed in the bed but Dick wasn't gonna go that easily. Now that he was pushing the nurse from him, the nurse then yelled for help and two orderlies and a doctor raced into the room and tackled him down to the ground.

"GET OFF OF ME!!!! I NEED MY BROTHER! I NEED TO LEAVE, TO SEE THEM!! LET ME GO!!" screamed Dick at the top of his lungs. He was fighting to get free and he was almost free when suddenly a needle was shoved into his arm.
His whole self grew heavy and his eyes slowly closing against his will.

"Noo..." Dick whispered as he began to drift off, a single tear running down his face.

His eyes shut, but he could still broken words from the doctor and nurses around him.

"He needs to be restrained...Mr Wayne....he was correct... Just look at his arms...scars all on his wrists. We need to hold him...he is a danger to himself and his siblings, like Mr. Wayne said. Get a room ready...call...Wayne."

Dick was then lost to the darkest.
His mind now going over the few words he just heard.

"A danger to himself and his siblings.... I'm hurting them? I would never but...what if I am? I am a horrible brother. I stole them from their home, their...our father. I must have been wrong. They aren't here because they hate me...don't want or need me. I'm the problem.

Bruce doesn't want me around, he wants me gone...they all probably do. He doesn't care, he never did. Why doesn't he love me?!? I'm his son too. Why doesn't he see me...why don't I matter to him, to anyone in this world. I've never had it easy but I would give up everything for my family!
I love them so much! They are my world and without them... I have nothing.
I am nothing."
