Dick woke with a yell. Him hai g a nightmare of his parents dying. He woke up yelling.

"MOM DAD NOOO!" He shot up.

Bruce jumped and sighed. "It was just a dream. "

"Y-yeah..." Dick calmed his nerves and looked at him. "Why are you hear again?" He asked in a semi scared voice.

"You passed out. I was watching over you." Bruce explained. "I also wanted to inform you that you are allowed to leave your Cell." He smiles.

Dick ran out of the cell and fell on his knees. "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUUUUUUUUL!!!" He spoke dramatically.

"Take it easy Richard." Bruce laughed lightly.

"I'm a wild Bird!" He yelled and ran down the hall and I to the livingroom and jumped off the railing and it another section."IMMA FLY TO FREEDOM!" He ran into his room and shut the door and sighed happily. "I missed you punching bag." He hugged his punching bag and kissed it with a tear falling down his eye.

He cleaned his room and organized his old mess and smiled happily. "Home sweet home! I missed you!" He fell onto his bed and looked at the ceiling with a smile. He took out some Baterangs that were in the ceiling and threw them at it again.

He repeated this for a good ten minutes. In deep thought. He was thinking King about what t would be like to go on missions with the team. He honestly missed going on missions with them. He turned his head to his phone that was on the dresser collecting dust.

He plugged it I the charger and went on it. He opened the text messages to see one from Slade. That was sent a few hours ago. It simply read.

Deathstroke:
*Im so disappointed in you.*

Dick gasped and threw his phone into the wall. He grabbed his baterang and threw it into the phone and he hissed. He got back on his bed and laid on it. He looked around the room and hen at the vent. Dick grabbed a scrapped square of metal and a drill and drilled it over the vent, sealing it off.

"There, that's better." He smiled happily.

Dick began to do push ups. He worked out for about an hour and a half before a knock came to his door. Dick stood and walked to the door and opened it.

"Hello?" Dick opened his eyes.
"Hey." Black Cannery smiled.

He looked at the bruises and looked away "I'm sorry for hurting you."

"Well you got your payback. Your wrists are still blue and purple." Black Cannery smiled.

"Heh, yeah." Dick chuckled. "Karma is a pain."

"But it helps teach lessons." She leaned on the doorway. "So. Are you happy to be free from that cell?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm honestly sorry that I hurt you. I'm an asshole." Dick frowned.

"Your fine. I'm a bit of a bitch sometimes, I openly admitt that fact." She chuckled. 

"Well. We all have flaws." He shrugged.

"That's to true." She agreed.

"I'm going to rest. I'm still tired." Dick closed the door after a quick goodbye.

He walked to his bed and laid there. He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

****

Dick gasped, in a dark factory in Gotham. He was pressed against a wall. He looked ahead of him and looked around. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he blinked and there was Slade.
