A/N: Here's the chapter a lot of you have been looking forward too. This one was quite hard to write, because although I had the idea, I didn't know what to do with it. I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to review! ~Velvie

Day 6: Dick's POV

I've spent most of my week bettering myself through training. I'm not going to let a little sleep loss defeat me. Sleep and I were never good friends, anyway. Robin can take this. I can take this.

"Training again today, I suppose?" Wally called over to me as I was leaving the entertainment room.

"Of course. You in?" I replied. The speedster shook his head.

"Nah dude, I'm tired. Why don't you come do something else instead? I was gonna see if anyone wanted to play a game. Ya know, team bonding and whatever."

"I think I'll pass." I told him, and turned to leave.

"Oh come onnnn!" my best friend whined. I sighed and turned toward him again.

"Fine. What're we playing?" I asked. He grinned and ran off wordlessly to rally the others. This could be interesting.


"Truth or dare!" Wally announced to the team. We all groaned. "But, there's a twist; we have a dance battle. I'll go first, and choose a person. We dance, and if they win, they ask me, and if I win, I ask them. We keep going like that. The person who loses chooses their rival and so on. Got it?" We all nodded with vague understanding. "Robin! You first!" I grunted as I walked over to the TV and waited for the dance to start. I always won dance battles. I beat the song with ease while Wally struggled to keep up, everyone laughing at him as he failed to do the moves.

"Ok, truth or dare?" I asked, smirking.

"Dare!" Wally yelled in a tone of fearless defiance. I looked quickly over to Artemis.

"I dare you to kiss Artemis!" everyone cheered and laughed, except Artemis, who vowed to kill us both later. Wally glared at me and walked over to Artemis. He hesitated for a moment before planting a kiss on her cheek. We all cheered and wolf whistled as the two of them went red.

"My turn again. M'gann!" he said quickly. He won easily, because M'gann had barely ever played this dance game, and didn't know all the moves and controls. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth" M'gann replied. Knowing Wally, he'd pick something difficult to answer.

"Who is your favourite person on the team?" Yep. He picked something difficult. I knew he would.

"Oh... uh... I love you all, you're all so kind and welcoming to me, but, I have to say Conner. He's my boyfriend, after all." M'gann replied, blushing. We played several rounds, laughing and joking around and having a great time.

"Robin, you're up!" Artemis said to me. I walked over and accepted her challenge, knowing she couldn't beat me. I'd almost won when Wally stuck out his leg and tripped me up. Artemis won. "Truth or dare?" she asked, smirking.

"That wasn't fair." I muttered.

"I don't care; truth or dare?" Artemis repeated the question. I thought hard for a moment about the possible things she could pick for both answers.

"Truth." I decided.

"Why aren't you tired like the rest of us?" she asked immediately. She'd been saving this question for me, and I could tell by the looks of the rest of the team that they all wanted to know too.

"I'm Robin." I said, shrugging. I'd used this excuse throughout the week and I hoped it still worked.

"No, I want the real reason." Artemis prompted. I thought about it long and hard. I should really tell them the truth. But the truth is my identity. Can I risk that?

"Nightmares" I muttered under my breath. Everyone looked surprised. I guess they never thought that the Boy Wonder could have nightmares. Except Wally. He already knew.

"What are your nightmares about?" Artemis fired a follow up question.

"Hey, only one question allowed." I retaliated. I could see that everyone wanted to know, and I wondered if they were concerned. Of course they were, they were my friends. I sighed and sat down, cross-legged. The others copied me and waited for me to speak.

"Well?" Artemis said, getting impatient.

"I have nightmares about my family. About what happened to them. I used to have these nightmares every night after it happened, and I could never get back to sleep. So, over the years, I've adapted to just sleeping less. I would spend my nights thinking about them and waiting for the sun to come up. I have these nightmares less often now, but they still come back to me, accounting for more and more sleepless nights." I admitted to them. There was a round of quiet gasps.

"That leaves us with one more question." Kaldur said quietly.

"Who were your family?" M'gann finished for him. I looked around at them and then to Wally. He nodded, as if he knew what I was thinking. I pulled off my sunglasses and heard another round of gasps.

"My family were The Flying Graysons. I'm sure some of you are familiar with the story. But for those of you that aren't, here it is; I was part of my family's circus act. We were trapeze artists. The highlight of the circus. One day, a guy called Tony Zucco tried to extort money from the circus. The money wasn't given to him, so he got revenge. He sabotaged The Flying Grayson's. My family fell to their deaths from the trapeze wires which had been covered in acid. My mom called out my name as she fell, and that was the last thing she said before she died." Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as I recounted the awful events of April 1st. Everyone came over to comfort me, except Wally, who hung back. He already knew my story. He was, after all, my best friend.


Later, after everyone had gotten over the eventful game of truth or dare, we all sat down to watch a movie. It felt great to be able to sit with my friends, knowing that I had nothing to hide. I was free from my secrets. Maybe Robin can take it, but Dick could never survive without his friends.

A/N: This isn't the end, there's still one more day to go. Keep reviewing! I'll try to update soon. ~Velvie.
