Okay let's clear something up. There is a woman and a child trying to get out through a vent then the woman's husband appears and gets decapitated, then that's when the father of Richard who appears later appears. Richard is given a sword and commanded to kill both girls but he denies so his father kills the mother who managed to push her child through the vent. The evil dude cuts her head off and throws it in the vent where it reached the daughter and then Richard is pulled by his father then whipped by him, k? K.

On with it

Gasp

The young adult woke up suddenly heavily breathing from having a nightmare of former times. He clutched his head and groaned as the images and pain coursed through him. He looked around finding himself on a roof of a tall building. The sky was dark, no sign of the moon through the thick clouds.

He struggled to remember what he could have been doing so that he could have ended there. He stood up still clutching his aching head, when something dropped from his lap. He looked down and stooped trying to clear his head. He observed his finding and found something familiar.

He looked at himself. He was soaking wet and cold, he was wearing a black uniform with the outline standing out with a vibrant color of red and yellow. He had a red belt and a jagged R was positioned on his chest, no sign of skin showing anywhere in his eyes. He reached up and felt his face finding some fabric covering his eyes along with his wet dripping black hair.

He groaned as he remembered what he had been doing. He looked down the building and when he found the car he had been following gone he groaned again. He shook his head and threw himself from the ten-story building knowing what was to come from his mistake.

Nearby...

A young woman was sitting down on a desk in her office. She was typing something out. She had short black hair, light almost gray skin, and a pair of green eyes. She was wearing a business suit, gray and dull, which made her look professional and old. Her eyes scrounged in concentration as she pulled her shoulder length hair, when she saw something reflected on her screen. She swiveled around in her rolling chair when swish went the blade of the sword as it tore through her neck. Her head fell on the carpet covered floor and rolled a few inches, her face paralyzed to a forever image as her head dripped blood all over the expensive carpet. Her lips slightly parted in an inaudible gasp and her eyes wide and staring. A soft splsh was heard as the person responsible of this hideous crime walked across the floor, its soaked shoes gushing water. It walked away leaving behind a tissue that it had used to clean the blood from the long weapon in its possession.

The Next Morning

The sirens blared as the police arrived on the crime scene. The cops ran into the area and the detectives walked trying to wisp any evidence of the perpetrator. A young man arrived calmly to the scene wearing a white leather jacket a black shirt, black pants, and boots of the same color except for the steel sole with no imprint. He had slightly long black hair, a firm chin, and sunglasses covering his eyes.

He showed his identification to the guard who was clearing the area and proceeded to enter the small building. He walked past investigators who were checking various objects, others who were collecting evidence, and others who were interrogating. Some others rushed past him with exasperated or disgusted looks on their faces. He wore the same calm look as he went through the corridor even as many turned to face him and stare.

He finally got to the end of the corridor and into an office where his boss was talking to some people. She nodded to them and turned towards others. He was about to call her when he was grabbed from behind.

"Yo Dick watcha doing here, dawg? This is a private investigation."

Dick couldn't help but smirk as he turned toward the bulking man of his best friend.

"Hey Stone. You're right this is a private investigation, my private investigation. But nonetheless it's private only if you disregard all the people witnessing this investigation outside and at home."

Stone chuckled as he shook his head.

"It's nice to see you back in the real world man"

Richard frowned as his gaze turned to one of steel.

"It's good to be back."

He got a distant look as remants of the memory of his past years flashed in front of his eyes.

"So, what happened here?"

"What's been happening these past nights ever since that hell hole of a place exploded. Someone has been decapitated, this time a woman, Roxanne Morales was her name. She had been working late, something about this surprise welcome back party for... um... wait a minute I have it in my notes"

Dick looked down as he walked across the office; he had a sad expression, odd for him with his strong character. His eyes widened only a little as he stooped down to the face of the poor woman.

"Oh, Roxxi..."

Stone turned to him. He walked towards him and asked.

"You knew this woman?"

Dick closed his eyes as he nodded, nausea spread over him as he saw his former friend in such a way.

"Roxxi, um, Roxanne used to be my best friend back in the days. sigh She was planning that party for me."

"How did you know if it was a surprise?"

Dick turned to face his current best friend.

"I'm Richard John Grayson. That's should be all you need to know."

With this said Richard stood up and walked away from his best friend regretting ever going back to that hell hole. He went to his boss, a young woman with purple hair, eyes, and skin. Her skin was paler though so she managed to pull the look.

"Hey Rae"

'Rae' turned to him, the people she was talking to dispersed. She remained with her stony expression as she walked towards the exit.

"Hello Richard, I told you its Rachel not Rae"

"Sure Rae, um look, I was gonna ask you if you could give me the last reports on the similar killings."

Rachel stopped the officer outside raised the 'Do Not Cross' line for her to pass. She sighed as Richard continued to follow her and stopped. Richard almost crashed against her but managed to stop just before doing just that.

"Look Dick, I can't just go giving people, wait I can, but not to you. You just came back I can't let you..."

"This is my investigation Rae, um Rachel. Commissioner Gordon gave it to me!"

"Well I won't let you! I'll take away this privilege and if you insist I shall take away your badge! Good day."

Rachel then proceeded to leave the scene leaving an exasperated and annoyed Richard behind. He shook as all the rage coursed through his veins and he punched a car managing to lift the hind tires to lift slightly, as his eyes seemed to change to a vibrant red.

"SHIT!"

He took several deep breaths as he rubbed his hand and left to the opposite way, disappearing in the shadow of two tall buildings unseen by all except for one solitary figure blending in the crowd, watching him with a piercing gaze.
