Dick lay in his normal everyday bed in Wayne Mansion. Well, if normal was a queen size bed, in a room three times the size of an average bedroom. Then yes, normal.

He tried to clear his mind of what had just happened. He lied to Bruce. He really just lied to Bruce. How could he do something like that? What Dick really capable of lying to Bruce? Maybe. Bruce had lied to Dick when he didn't tell him about To- Beep!

His phone let out a startling ring. He got a text. From the speedster himself.

'Hey, dude! R u home from school yet? Can I come over?' The text read.

'Um... Yeah, I guess. Idk. Do u really want to come all the way to Gotham just to visit?'

Dick texted back. Sure, he wanted Wally to come over, but he was dealing with something right now. He wasn't sure whether to tell Bruce the truth or not.

Dick thought, Why shouldn't he tell the truth? If he told the truth Batman would find his kidnapper soon and everything would go back to normal.

Though for some reason Dick couldn't tell Batman. He couldn't tell the man who needed to know the most. The man who could dearly help if given this information. The thing that bothered him the most is that he didn't know why he couldn't tell Bruce. Maybe because something inside of him was telling him not to, or maybe just because Dick didn't want to tell Bruce the phrase that scared Dick to no end. Maybe Dick was scared... Scared that telling Bruce the truth would end up hurting the man that had cared for him for years. Maybe... Just maybe that was it. Was Dick still holding a grudge from Bruce breaking his promise? Would Dick not give valuable information just because of a stupid grudge? No, the grudge wasn't stupid. Bruce had lied about Dicks parents murder being out and the lose. He broke a promise when he didn't tell Dick. Now that Dick thought about it, Bruce had stopped the investigation to find Zucco. Why did he do that? Zucco could be planning to kill more innocents, but they weren't even looking for him.

Dicks thought were once interrupted.

'Dude, just say yes. I'm already in your front yard.' Wally texted back ruining Dicks thoughts. Dick face palmed. Wally was in his front yard? What? Ugh, sometimes Wallace West just didn't know when to stop. Though, maybe Wally could help with Dicks problem. Maybe Wally could help with Dick in finding a situation. Sure, Wally didn't seem to always be the smartest, but whenever he needed too, he always was. He sometimes can be the smartest person in the room if need be.

"I guess so, since ur already here..."

Dick texted back.

Then, just as expected the teenage boy entered the room with a fast gush of air following his path.

"Hey, I'm here." Wally did a bow," I know, I know, you've been all waiting for me." He bowed once again to his "crowd"

"What are you doing?"

"Well, someone's in a grouchy mood. What's got you all mad?"

"Nothing." Bruce said Dick need rest. Why wasn't Dick doing that instead of whatever was going on at the moment.

Wally then looked at the small rocket shaped digital alarm clock on Dicks desk. It was 12:00.

"Um... Dick? Dude?"

"What Wally?"

"What are you doing home from school? It's twelve-o-clock.

Dicks eyes widened. He hadn't thought that Wally would discover that he had gotten home from school early.

"Um... Well... Free day?" Dick was feeling stressed. He was a terrible liar, and wasn't even willing to lie right now. Maybe he just needed rest.

"Dude, are you sick? What happened? Why didn't you tell me anything?"

Dick shrugged not really wanting to give out explanations at the moment, but he had to if he wanted Wally to shut up.

"I passed out during school. No big deal," he speeded up the last part," I also remembered something from the night I was kidnapped."

Wally froze, his eyes widened."Y-you r-rem-remember?"

Dick nodded his head. "Tell me what happened!"

"Wally, calm down. I need to tell you something," Wally sat down," I think the person who kidnapped me knows that I'm Robin. I think they know that Di- Richard Grayson is Robin, the Boy Wonder."

Wally eyes widened to saucers.

"Did you tell Bruce this?!" Dick quickly shushed Wally and shut the door.

"No."

Dick explained the flashback that he had to Wally. He told him every detail, every little feeling that had been going to Dicks mind at the time.

Wally nodded somewhat understanding why Dick wouldn't tell Bruce the truth.

Then startling the two boys the door opened. Bruce stood there holding the door open, the door knob in his hand.

"Dick- Wallace, what are you doing here?"

"Uh, sorry. I c-"

"I asked him to come. I'm sorry. It's my fault not his." Dick lied for his best friend.

Bruce nodded and began again," Dick, I'm sorry to bother you with this, but you are already expected to come. We can leave early if you would like, but not going is not an option."

Dick raised an eyebrow ask if asking 'what are you talking about?'

Bruce sighed," We have to attend a gala tonight." Dicks eyes widened. He had completely forgotten.

"Of course! I'll get ready. Sorry Wally. You have to go."

Wally nodded and speeded out of the room as Dick rushed towards the shower.
