Dicks knees fell to the ground as he realized what had just happened. A large fire was building in front of him, and the tall building was crumpling to pieces. Grey smoke filled the air, and a faint sound of sirens were heard. Dick seemed to be the only form of life near the building. There were no signs of anyone exiting the building. No way of knowing they had survived.
A tear slipped past the boy wonders mask. His team and Batman were all inside of that building. They were all dead because of him. He wasn't smart enough to see the trigger that Tony Zucco had held within his grasp. He had been too focused in apprehending the man, that when they were outside he hadn't even considered the small device Zucco reached for.
It felt as if a small bomb went off inside Dick himself. He lost his friends and family once again, and [once again] it was his fault they were dead.
More tears fell from his eyes and he let out a scream as he pounded his fist against the tough ground. This was all his fault! Everything was his fault! Was he just destined to lose everyone he loved?
Robin just sat there crying with his knees held up to his chest. Slowly rocking and not caring about the many tears falling past his eyes. It felt like hours, days, maybe even years, that he just sat there crying.
"Robin!" A females voice yelled. The boy wonder shot up and looked around. Someone was here.
"Robin, calm down. You're safe now." A different voice said calmly. It belonged to a male. Robin now had his bat-a-rangs pulled out. Was someone watching him? He turned and surveyed the area. All he saw was empty land, and a large burning building. Was someone still in the building? Were his friends still alive?
"Wake up! We aren't going to hurt you!" A new voice yelled. There were three people? The voices sounded familiar, but he couldn't decipher who they belonged too.
A females voice than spoke," Dickie? Honey, is that Dick?" Robin turned around and was shocked at the sight. His parents stood in front of him... They hadn't aged and looked just as they had before they died.
"Mom... Dad?"
"Dick, I've waited so long for this." His dad spoke.
"We're losing him!" An unknown voice spoke. It was unknown voice number two.
"Dickie, what are you doing here? You're not dead..." Dicks eyes widened at his mothers words. He was dead? Well, at least he could now see his friends and family...
"I might as well be. I killed all of my friends. This is all my fault."?His mother and father pulled him into a hug," Look, no one deserves to die. Especially not you, you've done so much good in the world. Trust me, Dickie, everything will get better. You should get going before it's too late."
Dick looked hesitant," I have to leave you?"
"Yes, you have a life, Dick. Trust us, we will see you when the time is right. Until then, we love you." His dad spoke.
"Is he gonna make it?" The first mysterious voice spoke. It was laced with worry and fear. The voice sounded as if someone really cared. Was this care towards Dick?
"I love you too..."
Dicks eyes then opened and he surveyed his surroundings. He was in a medical room. His team and Batman were in the room. They were all alive...
