Sorry for the late update. My life is kind of a mess right now.
I entered his mind. It was dark and the first thing I could see was Dick, without mask. He sat on the ground chained down with giant chains around his neck, arms, feet and middle. The boy was full with cuts and seemed not to see me.
Then another Dick appeared. One with dark, cold and dead eyes. He stood behind the other Dick. He held him in a headlock and had in his free hand a knife. He was also filled with cuts though his cuts did not bleed.
The standing Dick smirked as he moved the knife by his cheek making a cut. The boy yelped as he did and the blood run down his face. She noticed the same cut appeared on the boy holding the knife but it still didn't bleed.
The Dick with darks eyes kept on cutting the boy endlessly when I realized that this had been going like this for a long time. I looked further.
I saw a glass wall with something behind it. I came closer and saw that something was Robin. The boy in suit laid with his back to me. He did not move and seemed not to be breathing anymore.
"Robin is dead," Dick's voice echoed through my head. Could it be? I looked further. Now I saw something what made me jump. My eyes fell on a half Batman and a half person I did not recognize. Could that be Batman's secret identity? I came closer to the man in a glass cadge, no it was more like a showcase. I noticed that the man didn't breath and I could feel a real soft heartbeat come from the man. He was dying.
I turned back to the two Dick's. I had finished the whole round through the place I had ended up in and saw the caged Dick cry. He was looking at Batman/whoever that man was.
"He's dead, leave it," The other Dick was the first to speak up. His words were cold, dark and so painful. The dark eyes boy let go of Dick and watched how his body felt to the ground. The boy coiled up as far he could with the chains all around him and cried loud and heard breaking cries.
"Wait, he's not dead yet!" I spoke up. Suddenly I became visible for the two.
"So there you are," The dark eyed boy clearly recognized me.
"Megan?" Dick looked up. "What do you mean; he's not dead?"
"I can still hear his heart." I told the boy and suddenly something changed. The dark eyed boy backed off and the dark atmosphere was lifted. Suddenly I could see where I was. Two rooms. One homey and filled with pictures of that man who I thought to be Batman's secret identity and one room like a cave, filled with all kind of equipment.
I was in the homey room and the glass wall separated this room from the cave like one in which Robin lied on the ground, lifelessly.
-\ POV off/-
Robin suddenly gasped. The teens were surprised by the sudden activity of the boy. The boy looked up, looking at Batman shock written all over his face. He took off his mask showing his wide but unfocussed eyes. He ran to Batman and leaned against him as if he wanted to embrace him but placed his hands on the man's chest.
"Bruce, breath!" The sudden shout made Batman frown.
"Robin, I am breathing," He said eyebrow raised and still a bit stunned by the fact Robin just exclaimed his real name.
"BREATH!" Robin clearly hadn't heard Batman.
"Robin! snap out of it!"
"No! You can't die on me! Not you too!" tears ran down the boy's face. "Y-you're all I have left," The boy cried heartbreaking cries as tears streamed down his face. "Please," his voice crack between the sobs. "Please don't leave me here alone."
Batman laid his hand on the boy's back and head holding him tight against his chest. "I would never leave you alone, you know that," Batman had already figured he did not hear him but still, he could try.
Suddenly the boy burst out of his father's embrace and fell backward as if somebody was pulling him and a sudden loud yelp made the group tense. And then the boy's body went completely limp.
-\POV on/-
I saw Dick running to his father in the showcase like caged and he started to scream to it.
"Bruce, breath!" he shouted at the lifeless body behind glass. No reaction. The boy's eyes widen. "BREATH!" he yelled even harder.
I laid my hand on his shoulder. "He'll be okay," But it seemed that the boy didn't hear me
"No! You can't die on me! not you too!" Tears ran down the boy's face. "Y-you're all I have left," The boy cried heartbreaking cries as tears streamed down his face. "Please," his voice crack between the sobs. "Please don't leave me here alone."
My heart broke in pieces as I saw the boy cry to the man, who's worth so much for him, dying. It was not Just Batman/ Bruce who was dying, Dick was also dying, with him.
"You're not getting him back!" the dark eyed Dick spoke up. "He's going to die and you'll go with him!" the boy grabbed Dick by his collar and threw him backwards. He held up the knife and stabbed him into his heart.
Dick yelped painfully as I heard a creak behind me. I looked back and saw the showcase was bursting. I couldn't Batman's heart anymore. He was dead. I returned to watch the two Dick's as I saw the brighter eyed Dick became pale. He was dying too. I had to do something. But what!
I ran up to the dark eyed Dick and kicked him of the other Dick. "Leave him alone!"
Dick's feet scraped over the floor as he flew back and he came to a halt. "Oh, you didn't."
I crouched down by Dick and caressed his hair. "I should be able to heal him, I did defeated Psimon." I started to think him back to life and so it happened. The boy coughed and looked up to me with his bright blue eyes.
I started now to think Batman/Bruce back to life. I could hear his heart getting back a normal rhythm and low heavy breaths coming from his lips.
Dick got more color back in his face as he started to smile. "Dad!" he ran up to Batman and the showcase opened. The man got out and Dick flew into his arms. Somehow Dick seemed smaller than he usually was.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! No! No! Nooo!" The dark eyes boy walked up to me furious. "You ruined everything! I finally had him dead and then you bring him and his dad back to life!"
I smiled, I made the chains, in which Dick had been locked in, chained the dark eyes boy. He started to rant and rave, moving like crazy to get free.
I walked up to the glass wall and crouched down on the place where Robin was close by. She turned the boy around with her telekinesis power showing the boy lifeless face. The boy looked beaten up badly. I thought him back to life too but this time it did not work that well. He did came back to life but the boy seemed still half dead.
"Robin," the wall disappeared and I got to the boy. "Robin, you're okay?"
"No, I'm afraid I'm not," I was puzzled by his words. "You fixed this now but it won't take long before Dick loses it again," Robin looked at Dick hugging his father with tears of joy rolling down. "Taking us apart will eventually drive him to insanity. Sooner or later, this walking bomb will go off."
"But I can fix it again then, can't I?"
"No, I'm afraid the next time or maybe the third time it will make him permanently insane. I don't want to brag or something but without me Dick is just labile, he needs me, he needs being a hero to keep his head clear and straight. By taking me away they half killed Dick."
"I guess this will be my leave than," I said raising leaving the boy alone on the ground.
"Would you please ask Batman to save me and Dick. I know what I've done was wrong and more than just sick but this won't end up pretty like this," I nodded. "Oh, and tell him that I was so proud to be his protégé and his son."
I felt tears welling up in my eyes. "Y-yes, yes I will," I saw the wall of glass reappear and I left.
-\ POV off/-
Everything seemed to go wrong with the boy what could possible go wrong. The boy started to scream, roll, kicking, cry, cursing, laughing and even more.
Batman tried hard to get the boy from moving too hard and hurting himself by pushing him down on the floor.
"Dad!" he exclaimed suddenly very happy. "You've ruined everything!" he screamed furiously and started to move widely as if he tried to escape robes what tied him down. He moved so wildly that he even hit Batman, harsh, many times while he tried hard to keep him on the ground.
Suddenly his body became limp. "No, I'm afraid I'm not." A sudden calm en recognizable voice said.
"Robin," Wally said knowing the voice what came from the boys lips.
Suddenly he started to scream again, struggle and he almost pulled out his hair if it was not for Batman keeping him from doing so.
M'gann opened her eyes and the exact same moment Dick stopped moving completely. The boy's eyes became focused again as he started to blink much against the, for him, sudden sharp light.
"What? Batman?" the boy rose to a sitting position. He panted.
"You're yourself again?" Batman asked and received a sweet and really Dick like smile.
"Yes, yes I am," The boy sounded relived. His eyes were back to the normal bright and full of love and the colors Batman was used to.
"Wait," M'gann spoke up. "This is only temporary."
"Wait, what! Temporary! How do you know that?" Batman's attention went from Dick to the Martian.
"Robin told me" she said casually.
Batman looked at Dick who just shrugged. "I don't know a thing."
"Dick, you're yourself again, right?" Batman asked confused.
"Yes but I have no idea what Robin have told her." Batman rose an eyebrow. The boy looked away. "W-we're kind of two different persons in my head," The boy said a bit ashamed of his "weird" way of thinking. He knew he was not normal and maybe even a bit messed up but talking about it didn't made it any better.
Batman could see Dick felt troubled by the way he though. "It's okay Dick," He whispered placing his hand on his head. He turned to M'gann. "He told you more?"
"I think he wants me to tell you alone."
"That's okay. Come we'll talk in another room," Batman said as he left the rest of the team alone with Dick. "So what did he say?" Batman asked as he had the door closed probably and had turned around.
"He asked me to ask you to save him and Dick. He said he knew that what he had done was wrong and sick but he said it won't end up pretty if you won't help him." She said leaning against the wall with her back as if she needed support for what came next.
"I guess brining Robin back is the only way. But it was the Justice League's choice."
"He also said that I had to tell you that he was really proud to be your protégé and your son," the girl spoke, suppressing her tears. Why did it sounded so much like a good bye?
"Thanks for telling me. Now go enjoy Dick for now he is still normal. I'll have my chat with the Justice League about what you've found out," Batman walked away with rather high speed. But he was still too slow. M'gann had already noticed the high running emotions coming from the man but she told herself it would be rude to think about it if the man clearly tried to hide it.
The girl got back into the room and found the team upon Dick hugging him like crazy. The girl smiled at the sight.
"Guy's you're crushing me," the boy tried to push the three guys and one girl of him but with no success. "Let me go!"
"Don't think so!" Wally squished the boy a bit harder. "We've waited too long for this. We actually thought we would never see you again."
The green skinned girl could not help herself but join the group hug as the little boy finally collapsed under the weight of the group and fall to the ground. The teens now got of him to look at the results of their, apparently to heavy, hug.
The boy sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Guys, I've missed you too but this goes too far. I can't carry you all at once." The boy smiled.
The rest of the group sat down by the boy. "Say, what do you want to do with the time you can spend with us?" Superboy asked.
The boy looked down, thinking deeply. "So much to do and so less time," The boy mumbled thinking of all the things he could do with his friends.
It's short, I know. Sorry for that :(
Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed it. And I'll try to update faster next time :D
