Chapter 8 Reacquainting

As they returned to the house Nightwatcher had to ask, "Where have you been Richard and where were you the night that everything happened?" Richard turned over to him, "What do you mean?"

Sonic explained, "Some really bad things happened to him but he will tell you about it." and with that Nightwatcher told Richard everything that had happened from his parents deaths to working with Circe and finally serving Batman.

"Sounds like you had a rough time, I am sorry I wasn't there but I had moved away and went on a journey of my own because I ended up leaving home because my life was a bad one eventually but I never returned to your town as I had no contact. "

Chip saw they were sad and he offered chocolate once again but both declined but Sonic did not this time. Chip was happy at his friend's acceptance and he went into the kitchen for a moment where Alfred was and came back after a while with a smile on his face.

Richard looked to Nightwatcher, "I have to say its good to see you again, but I have to get to work on this shard of steel if we are to complete our work." he said as he went back to his room and once again locked it.
