There was a saying that said make life count for you never will know what will happen in your life. Make each and every day unique. To Dick Grayson, this meant a lot. His life had gone wrong and just 3 months ago it seemed to finally be getting better. But when a sudden stoke of Bad luck hits him, his world might just come to a halt.
Chapter 1-Headlights
"Don't go to far Dick." Dick mocked Bruce as he walked through a wooded area. He kicked a rock and looked up at the sky. There were millions of tiny stars in the night. Dick had never seen so many stars. In the city, you really couldn't. He stared at the brightest star in the sky. They were learning about stars in science. A month until school was out. He was so excited to get out. But then again, he would be heading to high school. He didn't like to think about growing up. He just wanted to stay as a 13 year old. But each birthday he always wanted to stay that age. Each one except his 13th one.
He hated being 12. 7th grade bullies, no girlfriends, and the strictest teachers. Plus that was the year his parents died. So, that really sucked for him. But being 13 was ok. Yeah this year was mostly like his last but Dwayne stopped bulling him, the teachers were a little more lenient, and he had at least one girl flirt with him. But she moved away. He didn't really like her anyways. She had buckteeth and was a geeky jerk. Not his type.
Dick closed his eyes and sighed. It was so calming out here. So relaxing. Grasshoppers were at their highest volume, the streamed roared, and the stars twinkled upon him with the Moon gazing down on the stream. What was old Bruce worrying about anyways? It didn't seem like there was any danger out here. The only danger there could be was getting attacked by a rabid squirrel. Not even that really. He was Robin, what did he have to worry about?
Dick sat up as he heard something. He shrugged his shoulders and got up to walk around. There was a trail right in front of him and he decided to walk it. He hadn't been on a trail since he was six anyways.

A quick breath was all he could take for the little amount of time he had. A jump to tree to tree. Running through the sticks and branches hanging down. He had to focus on getting there first. If he took the slightest rest it would all be over. He could see him in the far off distance. Not knowing what would happen, what was going to happen. He was just looking down at the stream, watching the fish swim by. He thought he had made it. Made it first. But he looked back and a blinding flash of lights hit him. He turned his head back to see him walking away. Now farther then he was. He knew he would not make it. Not make it first. The only other way was to warn. Was to warn him.
"DICK, WATCH OUT!" Dick looked up to see blinding lights then, nothing.
He slowly started to regain consciousness. Everything seemed to be in slow motion regaining normal form. He heard sirens, like ambulances. He turned his head to see men in red and white jumpsuits coming to him. Their mouths saying he needs help. And putting him on a stretcher. He then remembered the last sound he heard. Someone saying his name. Bruce saying his name. He slowly turned his head to see a hooded figured that finally came out to be Batman. He was being took away, in handcuffs.
Dick finally realized that his gloves were covered in blood. They didn't think that he actually did this to him did they? But no, he looked down and a curly brown headed woman layed there bleeding everywhere. They zipped her up in a white bag and took her away. Dick then knew. They thought Batman killed that woman.
"No." Dick said. The images finally at the right speed.
"It's alright kid, we're taking you to the hospital. Your leg was almost completely severed off. You have a few broken ribs too." The black haired lady said.
"My leg?" Dick said as he took his attention off of the scene. He looked down and a huge slash was cut deep into his skin. That's when he started to realize the pain. "It hurts." He said trying to keep it in.
"We're putting you morphine." The blonde dude said.
"Let's go, go, go!" The woman said. Dick looked back at Bats who would not be let aloud to go to jail. 20 men were pushing him in the truck.
"Go Batman, go!" Dick yelled now trying to break free.
"Hold on kid, you can't walk!" The man said.
"NO! Let Bats go!"
"Need some Anesthesia stat!" The woman said.
"NO!!!" Batman looked back and saw what Dick was doing and had to go. He let himself get took away as Dick saw his hopes fall. "NO!!!!" The man stuck a needle in Dick as he slowly fell asleep.
By the way (btw) this is the sequel to my first storyThe Foster Father/The Father. But you can read this without reading the first one. It's like a completely different story. Hope you like! R&R! I don't own Batman! But I sure wish I did!
