Damian didn't know exactly what he expected to happen. I guess you could say he expected some type of break down, just not this - bad.

Yes, he would admit that Grayson had been acting strange for a while now, almost a year to be exact. Damian had first blamed it on that stupidly large heart of his. He believed that someone had either made a rude comment or didn't respond to one of his well known ghastly flirting attempts.

He had a passing thought that if it was just that he would have bounced back to his usual infuriating self by now, but he refused to dwell on that.

So, he was second guessing his previous analysis on what had happened, as he sprinted down the manor halls towards the first robins bedroom.

Screams were echoing around the manor, and they were coming from Richard's room.

He faintly heard a heavier echo to his own footsteps and swiftly turned his head to see that it was only his father and Pennyworth that were moving quickly towards their similar target.

He, however, reached the room first and found that the door was already opened. He paused thinking that this could have been an attack against them, whether for the bats or the Wayne fortune Damian knew not.

In which case, he scolded himself for not bringing any weapons. Besides the knife he kept on his ankle at all times.

Damian glared at the open doorway and put himself into a defensive position before cautiously moving in, Bruce and Pennyworth were by now, right behind him.

Inside the room he found that the screams were louder and strange words, ones that he could not hear when outside the door, were made known.

Richard was laying on his bed thrashing madly with the sheets haphazardly thrown all over the floor. Next to the bed stood a nervous looking Tim, Damian sneered in disgust.

He dropped his stance and instead choose to lean against the wall next to the door and crossed his arms over his chest.

"What did you do now, Drake" He accused with a sneer.

"Shut the fuck up, Demon Spawn. I have more important things to worry about, unless of course you forgot about Dick's current predicament!" was Tim's only comeback.

He was always weak with his words, not a very good Robin, or Red Robin as he called himself.

Their father and the batfamilies butler ignored the two bickering birds however, and made their way to their original goal, the by now, whimpering man in the bed.

He had calmed down only a little and was now only whispering the words and hiccuping.

"What is he saying?" Drake asked.

"I don't completely understand, most of it is in Romanian" Bruce answered.

Damian didn't know Romanian either, he also didn't know why Richard did. He had been taught that it was a gypsy language.

Alfred spoke up next, "You don't think he's having nightmares of, that again, do you?"

This confused both boys again, nightmares like this were common? How had it never woken them up before?

Bruce shook his head, "I don't believe so. With what I can make out he's asking someone not to touch him, either that or he's telling them to release him."

"Well, wake him up then. -tt- He is being really annoying, and he woke me up." Damian sneered in anger.

Confusion out side, Grayson had woken him up, and all just for a dumb nightmare that he has had before. He didn't think to take into context what Bruce was telling them about his dream.

Drake glared at him and went to speak but Bruce beat him to it, "Damian is right, while for the wrong reason, it is better not to let him suffer."

He turned and spoke to Richard next, "Dick, Richard time to wake up."

He went to shake his shoulder when Dick bolted up with a scream. His small thrashing however sent him over the edge of the bed and down to the ground where they all could hear a crack.

A choked scream followed it while yells of worry echoed from most of the occupants in the room. The four that were standing ran over to see his arm sitting at an odd angle while the twenty years old man sobbed on the ground in a ball.

Damian thought to himself that this was definitely worse then he first thought.


Time Skip

It had taken the whole batfamily an hour to calm the distressed bird down enough to get him the medical attention he needed before his arm got worse.

In that time Damian found that Todd had heard from Drake of what was happening and he rushed over with unusual panic.

Not that it did much to help, Jason was so upset and he blamed Bruce for not helping him earlier. Which of course, led to Bruce accusing him of already knowing what was happening and that it was his fault for not telling.

It made Damian question though. Did Todd know what happened to Grayson. He decided to wait till he could ask alone not wanting to be watched as he asked Todd his questions.
