Emric didn't really know what to think about this whole trip. He didn't even eat breakfast before he left the manor, he wondered if Jason was hungry. He probably wasn't so he shoved that thought to the back of his head, returning his focus to something more present, like the guy who looks dead on the ground. Emric tried to search his mind but that was proven ineffective because he wasn't getting anything just static. He watches as Jason points to the man with his batons. The deaf boy wondered what he said, at times like this he wonders what it would be like to hear again.

"Trust me." Dick starts causing him to focus on his lips, "There's a difference between dead and knocked out."

Putting the pieces together, Jason must have asked if he was dead or something. He could have answered that easily if the man was dead there wouldn't be any static it would just be blank. He hated the blank and darkness death brought to the mind. It was like something that never really ended, it was void that seemed like he couldn't escape.

Dick grabs ahold of the body and starts to drag him out of the building and down to the parking garage, Jason and Emric following like toy soldiers. Jason had one foot, Dick had the other, and Emric was left in the back with the man's arms. They get to Dicks' car and Jason leans up against the side as Dick opens the back hatch, "You know, it's a real honor to meet you."

He sticks out his clenched fist for a fist bump and Emric watches as Dick hesitantly bumps it before going back to opening the top part of the hatch and then the bottom. While the two grab the shoulders, Emric grabs his feet and helps them shove the unconscious, tied up, guy into the back of a car. This made Emric wonder what other illegal things he would have to do before this trip was over.

"Does Batman know you're here?"

"Of course. Bruce knows how bad I've wanted to meet you." Jason replies confidently, "Pick your brain, catch a few pointers. He's all go for it, bro." He pats Greyson's chest and Emric only got half of what he said. Something about getting our clothes.

Dick turns and puts all of his attention on Emric who stands there straight, awkwardly by the car where Jason use to be standing, "What about you are you the new sidekick to?"

"No, I'm just here to keep him out of trouble." Emric signs, hoping the man in front of him would know sign language.

Emric looked at the man in shock when he signs back, "Great."

When Jason comes back dressed and with their cases and clothes, Emric grabs ahold of his case and clothes before teleporting into the void. Changing his clothes fast, he teleports back and puts his uniform in the case. Dick just looks at him and then shakes his head. They climb into the car, Dick in the driver's seat, Jason in the passenger seat and Emric in the back. Since he could see any of their mouths he just sprawled out in the back seat, his back up against the door and his head resting against the seat. "Wake me up when we get to wherever we're going."

And just like that, he fell asleep.

When they arrived at the safe house, Jason got out of the car and opened the door Emric was leaning against, the boy's body falls before Jason can catch him and Emric gets a rude awakening when he hits the ground. Emric's eyes snap open and he teleports himself next to Jason giving him a mad look before he uses his telekinesis to throw him back a few feet causing Dick to chuckle.

The three of them head into the building and Dick tries to scan his eye but his scan gets denied causing Jason to try and succeed. The elevator door opens and when Emric sees how small it is, he looks at the small cell-like box with fear in his eyes. "I'll just meet you up there..."

Jason looks at the fear in Emric's eyes and gives him a simple nod and tries smiling at him to make him feel better. The doors close and Emric is left standing there will a small amount of relief flowing through him. With his time with the traffickers, it made him claustrophobic, hating the small spaces he was forced to live in. If he could avoid small spaces forever he would, but things like showers were something he could live without.
