I own nothing!
Chapter 3:
Tom was pacing around the small office. Both he and Diana had been told to work together on finding out what the Returnees knew. However despite all of their hard work they found little info.
Little.
They still found out things. All of them were from different parts of the past. None of them aged a day when they disappeared. Also they were unaware that time had passed since they left and came back. Aside from that they knew nothing and it was getting on there nerves. It wasn't any easier on the Returnees who were getting restless and a few angry. Many were demanding that they be allowed to call their families.
Dick was walking around the large room looking for something to keep him busy. The only things for him to do were watch TV or read. He settled on watching TV. At the moment the news was on. People were debating about the "4400". Some of them said that the people were to be released while others said that they should just get rid of them.
"Do these people even think about including the fact that we're human and have rights?" he asked to no one. Dick had great amount of fury built up in him. He had little idea of what was going on and no one was telling them anything. Without thinking about it he pushed the wall. Removing his fist Dick saw that he left a small crater in it. Walking away from the wall he sat down near an African man who was amazed at how many people of high places were colored.
"If you think that's amazing then you should see how many advances in technology there's been"
The man looked at him. They started to get into a conversation before another person came by and the African tried to get him to settle down. By then Dick found out that the man's name was Richard Tyler and that he was the one who was in the Korean War. Leaving Tyler to his talks Dick went back to watching the news. It was like that for the next six weeks. Everyday they would wake up, eat a meal and tried to keep themselves busy and go back to sleep. It nearly drove Dick mad then finally after being in quarantine for over a month he found out that they were being released.
"Great now I can see how everyone else is doing since I left." He thought. Before they left they were given back their cloths that they had when they reappeared. First thing on Dick's list to do when he got home was change into cloths that weren't a uniform. His school cloths were if anything an annoyance at best. Walking by one of the tables he was given back anything personal items that were on him and a tag labeling his number.
Now in the main lobby many were looking for someone who was holding a small sign. The number on the sign showed a number of the 4400 meaning that it was the person who was picking them up. Dick looked all over the lobby before his eyes rested on one man. This man was wearing a business suit and had slick black hair. It was Bruce. Running over and knocking down someone who was in his way Dick stopped in front of Bruce. For a second Dick was sure what his mentor was going to do. But less than a second later Bruce pulled him into a hug. Even Batman could care about someone.
