Dick kicked his feet against the ledge he was sat on. Despite being the boy wonder he was still a 13 year old kid and so became impatient when told to wait.

He was waiting for Batman. Clark had picked him up from school and told him that he had to wait here at the old Gotham Dam. The Dam itself was empty as another wall had recently been built.

Clark had said Batman wanted to see him about something to do with Robin being to young for the job.

"Too little huh" said Dick tossing a small stone at large wall that held the water.

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound and small cracks started to appear in the stone. Dick's eyes widened in horror as the wall fell and the water started thundering towards him.

He ran.

Meanwhile Batman was in Gotham speaking with Flash when he heard the thunderous sound

"Hum sounds like a storm" said Flash

"Odd" mused Batman

"Batman!" Both hero's looked at Batmans communicator on the other end was Superman

"What is it boy scout?"

"The damn in Gotham it was blown up, the place in laced with kryptonite I can't get down there. Batman, Dick' down there!"

"Dick?" Batman's heart nearly stopped

"Flash get down there now!" he shouted at the man in red who sped off as fast as his legs would carry him with Batman following.

At the Dam Dick had somehow managed to climb onto some metal framework but the be of it was coming away from the ground. Flash ran to the edge or the dam but unable to reach the boy.

"Dick!" Dick looked over to him

"Barry! Help me!" he cried

"Batman's on the way! Hold on!" Dick clung to the framework tighter

"Hurry!"

Finally the Dark Knight way by the speeder "Down there, on the steel frame!"

"Hold on Dick!" said Batman bringing out a grappling hook from his belt.

But as the words fell from his mouth a stone from the wall collided with the frame causing it to lurch forward.

"Ahhh" cried Dick. Batman shot his grappling hook and swung down managing to catch Robin just as the frame caved completely.

"This is bad this is bad. I know I'll go get some help" Flash turned to run for help but instead was knocked out by something unknown.

Batman started to swing to the other side of the Dam but a wave of water knocked them apart, sending Dick into the water. He came up choking and tried desperately to stay above the water until Batman's arms were around his waist once more. He shook his last grapping hook and shot out of the water managing to get Dick onto the side before more water pulled him back in.

"Dad!" Dick frantically looked around for his father to resurface and finally from the water shot the dark figure with a make shift grappling hook, unfortunately it didn't get him completely up the side and he started to climb.

Smiling Dick ran to try and get to the other side of the Dam.

"Flash! Flash help me up" cried Batman and then there were rough hands on his gloved ones, looking up his heart stopped a second time.

"Zucco!" the man smiled a sinister smile

"Long Live the Bat" and then he threw him into the raging water below.

Dick watch his father fall to his death, just like his parents had 4 years ago.

"NO!"

"NO!"

"Robin wake up! Dude wake up" Robin's eyes opened from behind his sunglasses. Looking around he saw he was in the TV room at mount justice. Wally was sat in front of him.

"Dude are you alright?" Robin thought for a moment taking some deep breaths, which ended up causing him to hyperventilate.

"Rob chill, breath in and out. Kalder!" he shouted and soon the leader was there

"What happened?" he asked taking in Robins shaking form

"He was having a nightmare. A pretty bad one by the looks of things"

"You stay with him, I'll call Batman" Kalder left and Wally wrapped his arms around his best friend trying to calm him down. So much for a quiet weekend with just him the bird and Kalder.

Moments later Batman was with them, taking Wally's place in wrapping his arms around his son.

"Robin calm down"

"you…y.. you f…fell. He….pu..pushed..y…you!" the boy spluttered Batman sighed and then something caught his eye.

It was a DVD case.

"Kid Flash what film is that?" the ginger ran over the picked up the case.

"The lion king, why?" then he realised "Oh snap"

Finally realising what had caused the nightmare, Batman knew how to react.

"Do you have Peter Pan?"

"What?"

"The film, Peter Pan do you have it?" the Dark knight whispered menacingly, he couldn't believe Wally would let Dick watch the lion king after how hard he had tried to keep that film from him.

"Yeh" he ginger stuttered

"Put it on. Now!" quick as Flash the movie was playing. Batman sat Robin in front of it and soon the bird was absorbed and calm, the nightmare somewhat forgotten.

"I am afraid I am confused" said Kalder.

"There's only one thing stronger than Robin's fear of falling" said Batman watching his son intently as he watched the children flying around never land "His love of flying".
