Dick couldn't stop running.
If he stopped, he was sure they'd catch him; they always knew everything, and they were always one step ahead of everyone, usually.
He wasn't the first to get away, and hopefully, he wouldn't be the last. He knew Mary had escaped, and now he was escaping.
The Court of Owls hadn't noticed his absence yet, so he was safe. Or as safe as a runaway Talon ever could be.
He'd been with the Talons since he was nine, and memories before that, he admitted, were pretty vague now, blocked out. He wasn't sure he wanted to remember them or not, for he knew they were good memories, and he couldn't stand to have good memories that were so far from his grasp. He'd think they were fake after what the Court did to him.
For Dick, pain was something he had on a daily basis, as the Court harmed him, maimed him, breaking him down just to build him back up again so he'd be a perfect killer. And killing, killing was a second nature for him now.
Killing was all he knew, but it was the main thing he wanted to forget.
Dick fled far from the Court of Owls, hoping to never have to go back and face the Court again.
That was one year ago. Since then, Dick tried to build a new life for himself, but it wasn't really working. He was too damaged and there was too much blood on his hands.
Murderer, assassin, mindless killer. He'd done everything the Court had asked of him, and felt like he deserved to die for it. But he wouldn't die without at least trying to redeem himself, though it'd never happen, he knew that.
He fashioned himself a mantle, going by the name Robin. It was fitting after all; he'd gone from the Talon of an Owl to the bird that the Talons caught, the robin hunted by the owls, just like how he was hunted by the Court of Owls.
AN: So, what do you think? Should I continue?
I intend to include Batman, Young Justice, and a bit of the Justice League. It'll have a lot of fatherly stuff with Dick and Bruce and lots of Young Justice friendship. Don't know if I can work in more Bats, but it's possible if you really want me too. They probably will be like Dick though and have really different pasts if I do include them.
The chapters will be longer than this, as this is just a prologue, and also, as Dick is a Talon, he is immortal, so only the only thing that can kill him is cyro-freezing, and from what I've read, it sounds like that just sort of shuts Talons down for a while.
If you're looking for more fics about Batman characters, I do have one called the Story of Stray, which centers around Tim Drake, and a couple Batman and NCIS crossovers, and I am thinking about doing a fic about Cass, as she's awesome, may even start working on that now.
Well, I do enjoy your comments and feedback, so review if you like.
