"Hey Jason" Dick asked looking at the book he was reading "What's the definition of Arid"

Jason looked away from the Television and gave Dick a weird look. "Is that even a word."

"Red Hood is very Arid to the outside world." Damian said

"Did you just insulate me?" Jason glared.

"It's not insulting if it's the truth" Damian answered.

Dick rolled his eyes and closed his book and sat it on the table. There really was no asking a simple question with Damian and Jason in the same room. Damian took every chance he got to tease Jason and make him angry.

"It means boring" Damian finally said.

"I'm boring" Jason yelled.

"I didn't say you were, I said the Red Hood was" Damian snapped back.

"I am the Red Hood" Jason growled.

Getting off the couch Dick pushed Jason back down when he got up to attack Damian. "Ok you two, let's not make me act like the oldest."

Jason huffed and sat back down and turned his head back to the television, while Damian didn't say anything. What was he going to do with these two honestly it was like a never ending prank War ever since they returned home and as of right now he was stuck in the middle of it.

"I'm going to take a shower" Dick said getting up and heading away. Once in his room, Dick discarded his clothes and headed to the bathroom. It was nice to have a hot shower after all this time, the apartment he shared with Roy had limited hot water and Roy usually used it up. Honestly he was worse than Jason.

His arm injury healed up nicely last week meaning that they were going to go out on patrol again tonight for the first time in a while and he was excited. He loved patrolling with his brothers and when he was gone that was one thing he missed.

Getting into the shower Dick turned on the water and stepped inside letting the water run down his chest. He had a bad habit of just staying in the shower or a long time, just thinking. This was one place where he could think without any interruptions.

"It's not over."

Dick clenched his head as the pain reappeared and fell down to his knees. What was this voice, what did it mean it wasn't over. Soon the pain increased and Dick let out a small whimper and fell back. So much for no interruptions, if it wasn't his brothers it was this damn voice in his head. Voice in his head huh, well that sounded insane.

"It's not over. It's not over. Meet at Gotham High, 10 pm."

"Stop it" Dick clenched trying not to yell as the pain soon disappeared and he was left with a throbbing in his head.

What the hell just happened? Meet at Gotham High at Ten pm. should he follow this voice in his head and go. Oh god he needed to stop thinking like that and keep some of his sanity.

"You ok in there Grayson" Damian asked banging on the door.

Quickly getting up Dick turned to the bathroom door. How did Damian hear him, he wasn't even that loud. "Fine Dami, can't I shower in peace."

"Calm down you girl we were just worried. Thought we head something." Jason's voice appeared.

"I'm fine" Dick sighed turning off the water. If he wanted to keep his brothers out of this he needed to go there tonight. Even if his brothers said they would help him, he wasn't going to involve them not again.

This might be the mind control device again and if it is there is only two people who know how to use it, Talia and Ivy. In a way he hoped it was Talia because if it was that meant there was a better chance of finding her.

Putting a towel around his waist Dick opened the door to find his two brothers staring at him. Man sometimes he wished they were like Tim, who was right now on a mission with the Titans. "Can't I get dressed in peace?"

"Fine" Damian grumbled heading to the door. Why was caring for someone so hard. It was so much easier when he just had to worry about himself. "Todd!"

"I'm coming" Jason yelled heading to the door.

Once the door was closed Dick shook his head and put some clothes on then sat on his bed. It was now 9 pm meaning that he had around thirty minutes till he had to leave. The problem was how he was going to get passed his brothers.

For god's sake he was trained by the best and getting passed those two shouldn't be that hard. But he couldn't allow them to follow him or see him leave. If it was really Talia then that meant it was Damian's mother.

But this was something he needed to do himself. It was another part of getting over his past and everything that happened. Getting over the guilt of thinking he killed Damian's mother, which still haunted him today despite knowing she is alive.

"I'm leaving early" Dick muttered looking at the clock that now read 9:04. There was no way he would last if he waited another twenty five minutes. Grabbing his Red X outfit Dick opened the window and made sure his door was locked before leaving the room.

"Hey Todd don't you think Grayson was acting weird" Damian asked sitting on the couch.

"Not really why."

"You are really clueless sometimes you know that" Damian said shaking his head. "Grayson has lived here long enough that I know when something is wrong and knowing him he didn't want to tell us."

"You're just overthinking it Damian" Jason reassured.

"I sure hope so" Damian mumbled looking back up the stairs. But he had a feeling that he was right, he just hoped it wasn't that bad.

Jumping to the next building Dick looked around as Gotham High appeared but didn't see anyone in sight. Jumping off the roof Dick landed in front of the building and looked at the time, it was ten exactly so where was this person.

Suddenly footsteps were heard from the distance and Dick turned around to see the predator.

"Nice to see you Richard." The voice said as it stayed in the shadows.

Who was this person? It wasn't a voice he recognized but it could be modified to sound different. "What do you want."

"I thought you would be happier to see Me." the voice whispered.

"I don't even know who you are." Dick shot back annoyed.

The person moved deeper into the shadows and spoke again. "In time you will know who I am, but today I came for a different reason."

"What is that reason?"

A vile was thrown at Dick's feet and be carefully examined it before picking it up.

"I was told your powers are starting to show and that could prove useful. This vile fully awakens your powers to full extent."

"Why the hell would I listen to you?" Dick yelled back.

"Trust me you will use it sooner or later it's only a matter of time." The voice laughed as it disappeared in the shadows. "This isn't over Richard not by a long shot."

As the person disappeared Dick looked down at the vile and frowned. If this really did work then it could be dangerous. If his powers fully awakened then he could destroy the world just like Slade wanted him to.

Looking back down at the clock Dick gasped and pocketed the vile. It was already 10:30 if he didn't get home soon his brothers would find out he left. He would worry about the strange person and the vile later.

It had to be Talia because even though Ivy was in on it she was clueless on most things. Talia besides his parents was Slade's second hand and he had a feeling she hide many things. Things Slade didn't even know and that scared him.
