Chapter 13

_Eight Months Later (Two Years Since The Accident); Batman's POV_

Bruce was sitting in his office, thinking about how Dick and Beth had reacted to his presence eight months ago.

They had been shocked but quickly got over the shock. Dick had been more worried about what he had seen but Bruce had told them that he wouldn't say anything. Bruce had sat them down and explained what he was doing there.

Of course, it had taken a few hours but it had been worth it.

Well, it would have if Dick hadn't declined his offer to live with him. Yes, Bruce had told them his secret identity. Bruce knew that the young boy wouldn't say anything because he wasn't that kind of boy. Also, if he did, Bruce would exposed Shadow's true identity.

Bruce wouldn't deny that he had been slightly hurt when Dick had denyed his offer. But Bruce understood. Dick had gotten use to taking care of himself and his sister and not to mention that Bruce was a stranger.

And that Dick wasn't an American citizen so he couldn't legally adopt Dick.

But now he was.

And now Bruce wasn't a stranger.

He and the two children had bonded over his visits to their place and their visits to the Bat Cave. Yes, Bruce wouldn't let the JUSTICE LEAGUE into the Bat Cave but he would let two children. To Bruce, it was simple as to why he let them.

He hated when the Justice League invaded his space and questioned his methods.

Dick and Beth did neither.

And not to mention of when he would tell the Justice League of the children being in the Bat Cave that they weren't allowed in, they would throw a fit.

And he loved to see them upset. It was revenge for making him join the Justice League that he had wanted NOTHING to do with.

Bruce smiled. Oh they would throw a fit alright. And not just over that.

They would flip when they realized that he had let a TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY become a superhero.

Oh, how he looked forward to it.

If only he knew what would happen that night.

Then maybe, he wouldn't be laughing.

_That Following Night; Beth's POV_

Her precious Onii-chan was hurt.

Bad.

He had gone out to go to the grocery store to get some things when he had been ambushed by a couple of gangs that didn't recognize him. Dick had fought them off but had gotten stabbed in the back.

Yes, AGAIN.

But this time was different.

The knife wouldn't come out.

That meant he couldn't bandage it.

Which meant he wouldn't stop bleeding.

Beth had made him as comfortable as possible in their bed and tried to make the bleeding stop. But he just couldn't stop bleeding. Beth started panicking when Dick coughed up blood.

What could she do?

'Go get Bruce . . . Go to the Bat Cave . . .'

Beth calmed a little. If Dick could still think, then he was okay.

For a little while anyway.

'But I don't remember how to get there, Onii-chan!'

Dick softly smiled. 'Ah, but I do. Just read my mind as you head towards there. I'll show you the way, Beth . . .'

Beth sniffed. Her Onii-chan was counting on her! She had to be strong or else Onii-chan would . . . She shoved those thoughts away. Onii-chan would NOT die! Onii-chan promised! And he never broke his promises!

Beth nodded and ran out the door, running down staircases. Beth ran as fast as she could. She could feel her legs burning but ignored it. Onii-chan needed her help! He needed her to get Bruce! She needed to get there before he . . .

She shoved those thoughts away again. Onii-chan never broke promises. Never!

But she couldn't help thinking that maybe, this would be the first time he would break one of his promises.

Only, he wouldn't be able to fix it afterwards.

Because he would be dead.

_In The Bat Cave; Batman's POV_

Batman had been at his Bat-Computer when he heard it.

Crying.

Who was crying?

'Bruce! Onii-chan's hurt bad! He won't stop bleeding! Bruce, you have to help Onii-chan!'

Batman didn't said anything. He just grabbed Beth, who appeared in front of him, and got into the Bat-Mobile. He started it and slammed on the gas pedal. Beth was now only hicupping. Batman glanced at her.

'He's going to be okay now, right Bruce?'

Batman nodded, keeping his eyes on the road.

If only he believed that.

_Six Hours Later; Batman's POV_

Dick was now fixed up thanks to Alfred. He had managed to get the knife out without hurting any of Dick's internal organs.

A squeal of happiness jerked Bruce out of his thoughts. Ah, Dick must be awake, Bruce thought with a laugh.

Now he could ask that question again.

Bruce, gathering his nerve, walked up to Dick's bedside and opened his mouth to speak. Dick cut him off.

"I know what you're going to say."

Bruce blinked. "Then what is your answer?"

Dick's and Beth's faces lit up. "Yes."

Bruce couldn't help it. His face broke into smile too.

"But on one condition."

Bruce slightly frowned. "What is that?"

Dick smiled. "I get to choose my hero name."

Bruce shrugged. "I don't see why you shouldn't get to choose it. You're the one who's going to be called it, not me."

Dick's smile widened. "Good. Because I've already chosen a name."

"What is it?" Bruce asked, curious as to what name Dick had chosen.

"Robin."
