Robin had fallen asleep on the floor, his arm dangling from the rail it was attached to. The Batmibile pulled up and Batman lept out, pulling down his cowl and walking toward his ward as Bruce Wayne. Dick began to awaken and yawned gently, "I-is she okay?" He mumbled, rubbing his eye tiredly with his free hand,

"Yes." Batman replied, "Dick, we need to talk." He said stiffly.

"Figures. I kinda predicted you'd say that."

"Yes. Richard I'm very disappointed in you."

" I know... I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't good enough! You've murdered about 4 people Richard, one of them was innocent! I can't believe you'd just turn on me and-"

"I... I didn't mean it... you know what happened Bruce, I was just angry..."

"Look, Dick, this obviously won't sink in now, go to your room, go to sleep, we'll talk in the morning. Oh, and you're grounded, and I'm removing you from being Robin." He added.

"For how long?" The boy yauned as Bruce removed the handcuff from his wrist. "Permanently."

"W-what? Bruce... you can't do that!"

"I can and I will."

"Bruce please!!!" Dick yelled.

"No. I made you Robinso you wouldn't kill or grow up, searching for vengeance, you've now killed, thus there is no reason why being Robin would benifit you."

"You're wrong!!!" Dick yelled.

"No, Dick you're no longer Robin, now go to your room and get some sleep, we'll continue this talk in the morning." He growled,

"I hate you." Dick snapped, storming off to his room. But he wasn't going to sleep. No way, he was going to sneak out. Dick clambered out his window and left Wayne Mannor, making his way to Star City where Roy lived.

~~~◇◆◇~~~

Dick shakily knocked the door which was opened by Roy Harper, the thirteen year old burst out crying and hugged Roy tightly, hiding his face in the gingers hoodie. Roy lifted up his arms, superised by the hug and monuvered the boy so that he could close the door. "Hey, Dickie, what's wrong?" He asked the boy.

"D-didn't they tell you?"

"Wally told me, about you... you know...he also told me why, so you can stop hiding your face in my shoulder" he added, chuckling slightly as the yound teen looked up with bright blue, watery eyes.

"B-batman said I can't be Robin...ever" he whispered through the tears, Roys eyes widened. "I-I'm now just some stupid, orphaned, murdering circus freak!"

"Dick, don't sat that! It's not true!"

"I need to be Robin, Roy...I can't be just Dick Grayson...Robin was-is a part of me!" Roy nodded at this, Dick did need Robin, and it was unfair that Bruce was taking him away from Dick. "I'm going to call him, you were right when you said that you needed Robin, he's part of you and it's wrong for Bruce to take that from you." Roy said, taking his phone from his pocket,

"You're going to argue with Batman? You sure?"

"Never been more sure before." Roy said, then put the phone to his ear.

"What do you want, Roy?" Bruce growled. Robin, who had stopped crying, decided to listen carefully so he'd hear Bruce.

"I'm ringing about Dick."

"He's in bed, you can talk to him later" Bruce growled again.

"No he's not, Bruce, he's here with me. And he told me that you have told him he's no longer Robin."

"So?" Bruce spat.

"So? So?! Bruce, you can't do that to him!! He needs to be Robin, Bruce, forget what he's done in the past, he knows nit to do it again!"

"I won't forget it Roy, bring him back here and forget it, he's not being Robin."

"Bruce, he isn't coming home but he will be Robin. Whether you like it or not."

"Roy, I'm warning you."

"Look, either you let him be Robin again or he stays here."

"You can't do this Roy, he wants to come home!" Dick growled since He could just about hear what Bruce was saying, he snatched the phone from Roy, "no I don't want to cone home Bruce! Stop thinking I do because I don't!" Dick yelled.

"Dick, come. Home"

"No."

"Dick" Batman said in a warning tone.

"I. Said. No." He growled back.

"Dick, get here right now! I swear I will go other there right now and drag you all the way back to Gotham!" He yelled.

"Screw you!" Richard spat.

"Dick, I swear, when I see you, you're in so much trouble!"

"Holy obsession Batman" Dick growled, "give me a break, all you ever say to me now is 'you'll regret this' 'do that' 'you're in so much trouble' well I've had enough! You don't own me!" Dick screamed, tears beginning to fall again. Roy placed a hand on the boys shoulder asif to say 'it's okay'.

"Dick" Bruce started, "I'm sorry , but you know I can't-"

"Whatever, I hate you. Don't think that I'll ever forgive you for this." Dick snapped then hung up on Bruce sharply, immediately crying harder onto Roys shoulder, "I'm guessing you're staying here fir a while then?" Dick nodded and Roy shook his head, "luckily I have a spair room, if you ever need anything just ask, okay? I'm here for you man, just ask and I'll help."

"I-I need my suit back."

"Okay... well, I'm sure we can figure something out..."

"I could sneak int-"

"No. No way. Don't even consider it. There is no way we're sneaking into the batcave to get your danm suit."

~~~◇◆◇~~~

"I hate you." Red Arrow mumbled as they stood by a zeta beam. "Love you too Roy" Robin said grinning cheekily.

"Urgh, Rob-"
"Urgh RA, I was joking, jeez" Robin said shaking his head, a smirk planted on his face.

"Whatever, can we just get in then get out?"

"Yeah, it'll be fine Royboy, c'mon"

"Don't call me that." Red Arrow growled. Dick laughed his usual creepy laugh then took the zeta beam to the Batcave, Red Arrow followed. Red Arrow followed and was immediately yanked down by his wrist to behind a crate, then literally dragged along the floor and left behind a large penny. Roy shot a glare at Robin who pointed at Batman, and thanks to the loud zeta beam, he knew they were there. Only not where in the cave. "You distract, I'll get the suit" Robin whispered extremely quietly, the archer nodded and rolled out to a rock and grabbed a pebble, throwing it at the other side of the cave, Batman turned to the place where the pebble landed and walked over, Robin quickly and silently ran to where his suit was and unlocked the pannel, Batman saw and ran over, "ROB!" Roy yelled, sending a smoke arrow flying towards the two, he then kicked Batman in the back and started to fight, Robin grabbed his suit and darted to the zeta beam, "C'MON ROY! WEVE GOTTA GO!"

"COMING!" Red arrow yelled, ducking a blow then running to the zeta beam, thankful that they could get out.
