Robin weakly walked into the Batcave, holding the side of his face with his gloved hand. "B-batman" he said quietly, but the Dark Knight still heard him. "Robin! Where were y-" Batman then noticed something was wrong, then he noticed the blood. "Robin? What happened?" He asked, assuming he had a scratch or something that wasn't to bad and easy to fix up. When Robin moved his hand Batman gasped "my God..." he whispered.

"J-Joker, Ri-iddler... H-Har-rley a-and... Scar-ecrow..." he gasped. Batman nodded and pulled out a medical kit. "W...will... will it s-scar?" He asked weakly.

Batman remained quiet, not wanting to say anything, he just continued to fix up Robins face.

"I-I'm going to ki-ill him for th-this." He growled causing Batman to tense up.

"Dick, don't..."

"I will Bruce... h-he's hurt t-too many people... killed t-too man-ny innocents... a-and every t-time you lock him up... he j-just escapes again!" Robin said.

"What stops you from killing others?"

"He's j-just a killing m-machine... he h-has no heart..."

Bruce shook his head, "if you kill him, you'll be the same."

"I won't, I'll b-be what t-this city ne-eds. It'll b-benifit everyone."

"Dick, if you cross that line, they'll be no way back." Bruce warned.

"T-then I w-won't come back!" Dick snapped.

"You'll be treated like one of them."

"No, t-there is a difference b-between m-murdering people a-and being a h-hero!"

"Yes, but heros don't kill."

"N-no, a hero d-does what's right...t-that's what I'm doing."

"No. You're doing what you want."

"This city n-needs him g-gone. They'll b-benifit from I-it..."

"You will more."

"Y-yeah... I will"

"He wasn't the one who killed your parents Dick."

"No... but he did this." He said, pointing to the cut which was now sewn up and less bloody thanks to Bruce. "After h-him I'll go after Zucco, P-Penguin, two face and t-the others."

"And after killing them Dick, what will you do? Hand yourself in?"

"M-maybe..."

Bruce shook his head and began to walk off but stopped when he heard his protégé whisper his next sentence. "Or maybe I'm just the last one on my list."

Bruce sighed and turned around, Dick walked towards him.

"Dick, your acting like Zaaz, killing people because you think you're higher than them.

"No, I'm k-killing them because it's what this c-city needs."

"The city needs justice. You killing them without giving them a chance isn't justice."
"Without giving t-them a chanc-ce?! Bruce, they've h-had millions of ch-chances!" Dick snapped.

Bruce sighed shaking his head. "I'm g-going" Dick mumbled as he left towards the exit.

"I hope next time I see you you're not behind bars."

"You know they won't be able to catch me... r-right?"

"You know I will."

"Yeah, but would you really put me in a cell?"
