Alright one more chapter up under 24 hours from the last so it counts as 1 day lol. My bad I had work and homework so that takes priority. Anyway hope you enjoy, this isn't the last chapter. I think there will probably be one or 2 more. We'll have to see.
They landed on the roof of the building and ran down the stairs.
Wally did not rush ahead. The last time they had been in this building rushing ahead had gotten them recaptured.
Nightwing moved as quickly as possible to check for traps. He wanted nothing more than to burst into the room and snatch the boys away from Harvey and the others. Only the thought of triggering something to explode kept him moving at that pace.
"Move faster," Wally whined.
"I'm moving as fast as I can KF."
Wally bit his tongue. He knew Dick was doing the best he could. This was Gotham, it was always better to let the Gothamite do the leading in this territory.
They didn't waste any time. Every step they took got them closer to the boys.
"Where do you think you're going?" Riddler said stepping into view with Scarecrow.
"KF this room's clear," Dick said hinting at Wally to that he could take care of the villains.
Dick was already heading straight for Scarecrow so when he moved to use his fear gas Dick snatched it away. He prevented anything from being released on them.
Wally had both the scarecrow and Riddler tied up and unconscious before any alarms could be rung signalling their arrival. They highfived quickly before heading into the next area.
Poison Ivy was waiting patiently for them. She made a show of trying to fight them.
"Harvey didn't set any traps. They're in the room you were supposedly kept in 5 years ago," She whispered in Dick's ear.
He kept fighting her but eventually found no point. She was only dodging his attacks, not fighting back. He let KF tie her up and started running to the room that still lingered in his nightmares.
Harvey was waiting for them.
He was standing over Tim's unconscious body.
"Does this look a little familiar Nightwing?" He said slamming the bat into Tim's chest.
Dick launched himself towards Harvey. He dodged the first swing using the momentum to grab onto the bat and pull it away from Tim. The pushed the bat back hitting Harvey in the stomach and knocking the wind out of him. With a swift kick to the back of the head Harvey hit the ground, out cold.
Dick didn't waste any time tying Harvey up. He would be unconscious and Tim was right there slumped forward.
"Robin?" He asked gently kneeling in front of him.
Tim heard someone calling him. The fear gas was starting to wear off finally.
He opened his eyes; he thought he heard Dick calling him. He was horribly wrong. Where he thought Dick was going to be kneeled a horrible monster.
This isn't real.
"Dick?"
The monster wasn't speaking any language he could understand.
This isn't real.
He knew that under the hallucinations it was Dick but he couldn't get around the drug running through his system.
The monster pulled something out of somewhere, the details were hazy, and injected him with it. He breathed a sigh of relief, the monster faded into Dick.
"It's Nightwing when we're in uniform," He heard Dick whisper.
Tim nodded his understanding. Dick untied him gently and pulled him into a hug, he cried out in pain.
Dick stiffened. He didn't want to hurt Tim any further.
"We're going to get you guys out of here," He said.
Tim nodded again. He was worried if he said anything that he would start to cry.
Wally had been trying to get Bart to wake up but he was unresponsive. He kept whimpering and crying out in his sleep.
"Nightwing do something!"
Dick was at Bart's side administering the antidote.
Bart didn't wake up but he relaxed. Wally untied him and very carefully picked him up.
Dick did a very quick assessment of each of the boys before they even tried to move them out. It looked like Alfred would be able to handle all of their injuries.
Harvey must not have expected them so soon for them to be in this kind of shape. They weren't bleeding much at all.
"Nightwing," Tim whispered.
Dick moved to his side soundlessly.
"Ivy, she helped us."
Dick asked a few more questions about what he meant but managed to get the gist of it. He tied Harvey up and put him with the others then let Ivy go, "Just this once," He said as she left.
Just as gently as Wally, Dick picked up Tim and carried him out to the plane.
Everything was going to be alright.
The flight back to the cave was silent. Bart still hadn't woken up and Tim kept drifting in and out of consciousness. Alfred would take care of them. Dick had called ahead letting him know what was up.
When they arrived Alfred first took care of Tim first, he was conscious and able to help Alfred find the injuries.
Until they had some food in a conscious Bart he didn't want to touch the boy. Once he had his strength back it would only be a matter of helping his bones fit back together and heal.
"Even with his super speed healing he's going to be out of commission for maybe even close to a week. He's alot faster than me though so it might even be quicker," Wally said sitting in a chair next to Bart's bed.
He was determined that he would not be leaving Bart's side until he was fully healed and ready for duty again.
Tim on the other hand was going to need months of healing and physical therapy to get his knee back in working shape.
"Dick?"
"Yeah Tim?"
"Harvey started telling us a story about you and Wally I think."
"I'll tell you when you're stronger ok?" Dick said running his fingers through Tim's hair affectionately. Although it had unnerved him when Ivy was doing it, Tim found comfort from Dick.
They would all sit down and talk about everything once the boys were stronger.
