Author Note:

Hi, so sorry I haven't written in a while but I've been busy with homework and stuff. But here's chapter three, please review, favourite and tell your friends about it!


Dick P.O.V

Sophie leaves to go after Ra's al ghul for making her Mom the undead. But I wouldn't care as long as I had my parents back. I would love them forever. But I feel that's not the only reason that she wants to go after Ra's. She seems more angry than I've seen her in my life with her. But that could just be me getting worried again. But I should worry, she's going after Ra's for starters! She'll stop ageing in two years and I'll get old and die with everyone she cares about. She'll be alone and we'll all be dead. No, I'm not going to start to think about that now. I go to the dining room and finish my breakfast before Bruce comes in and talks to me.

"Hey Dick. Listen you need to be careful around Sophie. Her anger is like her mothers. But worse." He tells me.

"Is there a cure for her?" I ask.

"That's unsure. Her parents are worrying about her. They don't want to lose her." He replies. I look down at my empty plate and I sigh.

"What's wrong Dick?" Bruce asks me.

"Don't tell him." I hear Sophie warn me.

"Nothing. Just miss the old times when we used to play basketball and stuff." I reply, faking a smile.

"We still can if you want?" Bruce asks.

"Sure, but I'll play in a bit. I just got to go check my house." I say. I get up and I walk out the house.
I walk to my house and when I get there its like I never left it. I sit on my sofa and I sit back.

"Sophie, where are you?" I think.

"I'm at the internet cafe down town. I'm getting legends and stuff, while hacking the Batcomputer and getting all of Bruce's files on Ra's." She replies.

"You could get in trouble for that." I warn her.

"Not with your mind shielded I won't" She chuckles in my head.

"You are one little trouble maker." I laugh.

"Your right. Maybe I should let everyone in your mind?" Sophie jokes.

"Not funny." I say.

"Hey, worth a try." Sophie giggles.

"Got anything yet?" I ask.

"Yeah, Ra's was behind the making of Arkham City. It says that he had power over Hugo Strange and he was stabbed himself and then fell on the Arkham City sign. But his body disappeared and was never known what happened to it. But I guess we know now." Sophie replies.

"Yeah. I never did help that night. That was when I got really pissed off with Bruce and I went on my own." I sigh.

"Hey, don't go all depressed on me." She tells me.

"Sorry. I've been a naughty boy. I'll sit in the naughty chair." I laugh. I get up and go to my bedroom.

"You do know that I can see what you see?" Sophie asks me.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yep. I can do a lot now." She replies.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" I ask.

"Well I see what you can see when I'm in your mind and I can't be bothered to tell you all the details." Sophie replies.

"Lazy." I chuckle.

"Hey! Your not the one who's doing a load of research." Sophie moans.

"I was just joking. When you going to get a plane or something?" I ask.

"Probably within the next three hours. I just need some money and then I'm gone." She replies.

"Can't you just stay. Stay for me." I mutter.

"I wish I could but I'm getting playback for my mother." She sighs.

"Can't you accept that your Mom's back? I would do anything in the world for my parents back." I tell her.

"Would you risk me?" She asks. I sigh out loud and then answer.

"I would do my best to protect you for as long as I could." I lie on my bed and I stare at the ceiling and start to think before my door bell rings. I get up and answer the door. Jason was standing there and he looked pissed.

"Where is she?" He spits through his teeth.

"Lie." Sophie tells me.

"Where's who?" I ask

"My daughter!" Jason yells. He pushes me onto my back and he pins me to the ground and hits me.

"Where is she?!" He yells again.

"I... I don't know." I say as I spit out blood. Jason gets off me and he kicks me in my gut.

"I'll be back." He threats. I choke on my blood but it soon stops and I gasp for air to enter my lungs.

"Dick! Are you okay?!" Sophie panics.

"Just fine. Your dad has problems, I swear next time I'll be ready." I reply.

"Just try to be careful. If my Mom starts to ask questions don't answer, that's how she'll get in your mind because your showing a sign of weakness." Sophie tells me.

"Understood." I reply. I get up and I go to my bathroom to look at myself. My blood was coming out of my nose and some out of my ear. And I have a black eye. I pull my top up and look at my stomach. Just a bit of blood and a large bruise. Great, another for the history books. I grab a bandage and I wrap it around my chest. I clean my face with water and then I walk to my front door.

"Where you going?" Sophie asks.

"I'm going out. I can go out in day time and be Dick Grayson can't I." I reply.

"Okay, just becareful with your ribs. Don't get more damaged than you need to be." Sophie warns me.

"Hey, it's me remember." I chuckle.

"That's why I'm worried." She sighs. I walk out my house and lock it behind me. I haven't spent a large amount of time out in the sun and today seems like a good day for it. I walk down the road with my hands in my pocket. I feel about twenty bucks in my left pocket and about ten bucks in my right.
I go into the pub at the end of my road and I sit at the bar and order a Carling.

"That'll be 2.95." The bar man tells me. I give him my ten bucks and he gives me back my change. He does my Carling and I drink it slowly as I watch the football. I get bored of it and I buy another drink. Bruce walks in and he sits next to me.

"You shouldn't be in here." He tells me.

"Well I thought I'd take the night off." I chuckle.

"What happened to you?" Bruce asks as he looks at my face.

"Oh, Jason hit me. His going mad I swear." I reply.

"Where's Sophie? I thought she'd be with you." Bruce asks.

"Yeah, she's gone bowling with... Tim and Barbs." I lie.

"Don't let him know where I am. I'm just boarding the plane to the desert and then I'll find Ra's and his league and end them once and for all." Sophie says in my head.

"Tim and Barbs are back?" Bruce asks me.

"Sure are. They got back two nights ago. I let them stay at mine for a while." I reply faking a smile.

"Well tell them I said hi." Bruce tells me.

"Sure will." I sigh.
