Gordon sighed slightly to himself with a smile as he stared at the couple at the altar. He remembered that night, all those years ago when he had wrapped his coat around a young boy who had just seen a tragedy. Now that young boy was standing before him, about to get married. But something was troubling Gordon, he looked over all the people around the room once again; where was Dick? The young boy and Bruce were inseparable, so why was the Wayne's young ward not here? He pushed the thought to one side of his mind as the vow began.

"If anyone here knows of any reason, why these two people should not be joined in matrimony; let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." The room was silent and everyone smiled to themselves; the vicar went to continue when the doors burst open from the back of the room. All heads turned to the sound and gasped as Robin burst into the room.

"Actually I object." the hero panted, but he straightened himself up and sent a glare to the front of the room. Gordon, having a semi working relationship with the Dynamic Duo felt it was up to him to face the vigilante.

"Robin, what's going on?" he said, standing out of his seat to confront the boy.

"I don't think I'm the only one here whose not too keen on the main founder of this city marrying one of its lowest criminals." Everyone gasped at his accusations.

"How dare you" said Bruce, he came down from the alter and marched up to the Boy Wonder; but before he could lay a hand on the boy, the hero blew a soft pink powder into the man's face. Bruce took a step back and blinked manically for a few seconds, but then looked incredibly confused.

"Robin?" he looked around the room, "Where am I? What's going on?" Robin laid a hand on the man's arm.

"Just sit down Mr Wayne, it'll be alright now." After settling the billionaire down next to Gordon the young hero turned to the woman at the altar, who was breathing heavily in anger.

"It's over. Ivy" everyone gasped as the image of the beautiful bride faded away to the villain they all feared.

"No it's not over yet brat. Bane, get rid of him."

Now Robin's eyes widened as the arms grabbed him around his chest and lifted him into the air. Robin registered the screams around the room as Robert's imaged melted into the fearsome form of Bane. The screams brought Robin back to being alone in his room, when he was screaming for someone to help him as that man violated him. The anger started to boil once more in his chest; he brought his legs up and kicked back hard, knocking the wind out of the monster. His arms released enough for the lithe boy to slide free and flip over the man's head before forcing him to the ground.

He was surprised when the creature laughed.

"What exactly are you going to charge me with Chicka? What laws have I broken?"

Robin growled and brought the blade of one of his birdarangs to Bane's neck. "I think kidnapping and raping a minor goes under the illegal acts. And I think Richard Grayson would agree."

The air caught in Bruce's throat. What was Dick talking about? What had happened? So much was a blank, the last thing he remembered was finding Dick unconscious in his bathroom and calling Leslie. Then Rose had showed up...then nothing. He looked at Robin's face and could see the underlying pain there; whatever had happened Dick had suffered greatly, he knew that much.

Suddenly Robin was knocked off Bane by a large mutated stem that was now growing from on the potted plants in the corner of the room. It held Robin against the back wall by his throat, he clawed at the vine but it was too strong. Ivy laughed as she walked over to him as everyone else ran to the other side of the room to get as far away as possible.

"Oh Robin, hasn't the Batman taught you anything? I think he would be very disappointed, you running in here all alone, without a plan. And now, you're going to die." the vine tightened it's hold and Robin started to see black on the edges of his vision. But he managed to force a few words out.

"Wrong. On.. both.. accounts."

A/N Hey guys so I know this chapter is a little short (and late) but I just wanted to update to let you know I am alive lol. But all jokes aside I really do want to have a chat about why my update was so late. I know a lot of you wont read all this but I need to get it off my chest. So the reason I didn't update as planned last week was because I was considering leaving the site. I was considering this because I was getting sent really hateful messages. I had a few reviews that were a little sour on this story, saying it was a cheap plot line but I can live with that, that didn't bother me. What bothered me was when empty accounts (accounts that had just been set up that day) started PMing me with really long hateful messages. Saying that I was a cheap excuse for a writer and that I should stop pretending to be one. Another said I should stop writing trash and taking up internet space and there were a few more. I don't know if it was the same person or several people but it made me feel really, really low about myself and it took a while for me to get in the frame of mind to write again. But I just want to clarify that fanfiction isn't my job, I do it for fun, to de-stress and because I love getting to know you guys. I actually work with graphic designers and comic producers (so clearly I can't be that bad a writer). So if you really think my work is that bad then don't read it but don't attack me with hurtful comments because I will not bow down to you. To my faithful readers, sorry for the long note but I felt it needed to be said. Hope you enjoy this chapter, the next should be up next week as planned. Karin xx

Chewyring -I'm so sorry I couldn't get the chapter up in time for your birthday; but I hope you had a great day xx
