The boy looked up at Dick with such empty, lifeless eyes that he had to stop himself from kneeling down and giving the teen a hug. "My name is Detective Dick Grayson." He started, crouching down to the boy's level who was still on the ground, making his voice sound as not-grouchy as possible. "What's yours?" And instead of giving him the reply he had expected, the green-haired teen raised an eyebrow and said- "Your name is Dick?" ... Dick helps (or tries to help) a young boy named Garfield Logan after an unexpected encounter under very bad circumstances. Gar's recent past isn't all that it seems to be. Dick and Kory try to act as a light to guide Gar out of the darkness where he's called worthless, unneeded, a freak for reasons he can't understand. And Dick'll do anything to save him from succumbing to that darkness.

**This story has cutting and suicidal thoughts / possible actions. DO NOT read if it is a trigger** Each of them were left traumatized from that "Failsafe" mission. But some more than others. Robin refuses to stay at the Mountain long, and when he does it's only for the obligatory training. After that he always retreats to his own room in the Cave. Granted, Batman believes he's better off staying at the Manor but Alfred can't watch him 24/7 when he's busy with League business. Robin is frankly annoyed with his paranoia but due to Robin's... past trauma and coping methods he understands. Still doesn't like it, and he makes that well known. The Team however are getting seriously weirded out with his attitude. Were they affected by the simulation? Absolutely. But it's been weeks now, and Robin's demeanor has only gotten worse. Wally is the only one other than Batman that's able to get more than two words out of him but that's not saying much. Why is he behaving this way? And will he resort back to his old coping mechanisms?

Basically Robin/Dick Grayson is my favourite DC character, don't judge me, so this is all my random ideas that I have compiled together. Don't expect too much from me I'm only 14 Everything is checked for spelling and shit when I can. If ya notice something, either DM me or comment Edit: I'm 16 now So guys we did it. Thank you so much for the last two years (about.) This book has done so much for me and I hope it's done the same for you. Although we've reached the maximum on this book, I have another one coming up soon

While on a mission like the old times, the dynamic duo decide to crash a court of owls meeting. What they didn't know was that them being there was a part of the plan. They wanted to use their newly built machine to take "control" of Dick but instead they get Bruce. The machine made Bruce turn on Robin and injure him both physically and emotionally. What they didn't know was the machine had other plans. Bruce is fueled with hatred and rage towards one person. Dick Grayson. Can they restore him before Dick ends up paying the price? What was the exact goal The Court of Owls and Talon had in mind? Why target Dick grayson? Can the young justice keep Dick hidden from Bruce's hate filled rage? (I am going to be switching it up since this is a Court Of Owls story line with the Young Justice Dick Grayson. Some of it will be changed and some of it will be the same. I hope you will stick with this journey.)

My friends... this story is very dark. I'm not going to take it easy on Dick. Or anyone else for that matter. He's reached his limit and since he was stopped... he's given up. Please, if you've ever been in a depressed/suicidal. Just... don't. _______________________________ This story is a continuation of "Nevermore" as in another arc originally titled Second Chance. In this arc, Dick is "saved" from death. So this story explores how his family and Wally react to his suicide attempt, instead of his death. It will also explore Dick's emotional state. He may try again... And he's not in the mood for help.
