Barbara slung her backpack over her shoulder as she walked up the steps of Gotham City Bank with the rest of the class. Dick did the same.
"Well this should be fun." A girl named Terri whined under her breath.
"A joy." A boy next to her named Matt dripped with sarcasm. Rolling her eyes Barbara continued to walk up the steps. She and Dick had both seen the inside of this bank over a thousand times already. This would just be like watching a movie for the fourth time in the row for them.
She caught out of the corner of her eye Rick and Matt whispering something and pointing out Dick. Getting ready to intervene at the proper moment, she saw Rick make a grab for Dick's back. She turned sharply around to see the bag get caught on his shirt as it was pulled up, revealing the bandage wrapped around his waist. Laughing Matt grabbed Dick by the shoulders.
"What'd you do there Grayson?" Matt laughed pulling Dick around, holding him as Rick scrounged around his back.
"What's in here?!" Rick greedily mumbled as he continued to rummage. Barbara prepared to get the bag from him but was stopped as Dick pulled on Matt's wrist and twisted it causing the boy to fall on his knees. Gritting his teeth Dick barked at the two.
"I said back off!" he hissed.
"Dick!" Barbara warned. Looking at her and at the two stunned boys in front of them he sighed and released the arm. Huffing by he made a grab for his back from Rick who stared at him in disgust and walked off. Barbara soon followed suit. Rick ran over to Matt who was getting up.
"He's goin to pay for that!" Matt hissed in the direction of Dick and Barbara.
"How could he do that? Nobody can do that to us!" Rick rambled still shocked by the fact that the runt had brought down Matt, Matt the toughest of all the guys in the group.

"Hey wait up!" Barbara yelled as she ran up to her friend.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Dick mumbled back as he continued his pace. He ran a hand through his hair fixing it back up to its spikiness.
"Well we need to talk about it! You nearly ripped off Matt's wrist back there!" Barbara pushed when she finally caught up to him.
"I would have controlled myself I think." Dick hissed back.
"These guys are civilians not villains we deal with at night…Robin!" She whispered after looking around. She knew he would listen to her if she used his name.
"Barbara be quiet! Someone could hear you!" Dick finally looked at her.
"No! You need to ignore those guys." Barbara argued.
"CHILDREN! Come on. Gather together for attendance. Ok…Julie!" Ms. Parker announced reading off the sheet off paper.

"Are you bored is it just the fumes in here?!" Dick moaned to Barbara.
"I don't know. You've got a lot of gas in that head of yours" She replied.
"Yea…HEY!" Dick sat up straighter as he realized what the comment meant.
"Nice! Very nice." Barbara laughed. It was good to see her friend smile at least once today.
Chief O'Hara seemed to be oblivious to the fact that no one was listening to him. Not even Ms. Parker. He just continued droning on and on and on. Barbara noticed her eyes drift shut before she opened them again. She looked over at Dick who was also close to dozing off. She elbowed him in the gut. He woke with a grunt. They knew this man could talk but he seemed to enjoy boring everyone in the conference room asleep. Blah Blah Blah! That was what everyone heard.
Something didn't feel right. Dick looked around. Chief O'Hara even seemed to be trying to stay awake. Dick noticed that the guards were the same way. Shaking his head Dick took in a small sniff.
"Hey do you smell that?" Dick quickly asked Barbara.
"Yeah! Is that…" Barbara began before Dick interrupted her.
"Wait…What is that!" Dick stretched his neck to hear. Barbara did the same. Beep Beep Beep.
"BOMB!" Barbara yelled.
"Get down!" Dick yelled as he pushed both of them on the ground. BOOM! You could hear everyone yell as they fell to the floor.
