Dick was sitting in a bell tower to protect himself from the rain. His mask had fallen off at some point during his fight with Blockbuster but that was the least of his problems. Years of taking injuries had taught him how to know if something was broken. Upon self diagnosis, he had three broken ribs, a shattered right arm, a dislocated left arm, a sprained right ankle, and a possible concussion. So many thoughts were running through his mind that he couldn't even hear himself think. His head was throbbing uncontrollably and his body was still getting over whatever Catalina had injected into him.

Dick: "Ahhh" he screamed.

?: "Why'd you let me down? I trusted you Mr. Grayson and you let me die. Why?"

Dick turned quickly to see his five year old neighbor, Sophia. The little girl who he let get shot in front of his very eyes. Seeing her caused him to shake.

Dick: "No. No. You-you-you aren't real. You can't be real. I watched you die" he said with tears in his eyes.

Sophia: "Yes you did. But will I be the last?" she said as she began to fade from view.

Dick: "Wait, what do you mean. SOPHIA!" he screamed.

Dick awoke being shaken by Rose. The whole team was surrounding the bed.

Jason: "Bad dream bro?"

Dick rubbed his eyes.

Dick: "You could say that. What's up?"

The team looked at each other before Rose spoke up.

Rose: "I don't know. You started convulsing so I got Harley. Apparently Jason was listening in and told Roy and Killer Frost."

Dick held his head and covered his eyes.

Dick: "Aw, how sweet" he said earning frowns from the group.

Roy: "So what was it about?"

Dick: "Nothing" he answered quickly. "I have something to take care of so Roy, you'll be in charge until I get back."

Rose: "I'm sorry, what? Two things, where are you going and why him?"

Dick: "He has the most experience in leadership behind me and it's personal business. Tying up loose ends."

The team looked into his eyes before responding with a unanimous nod.

Dick: "Thanks guys. Now I need to talk to Rose in private please."

The team walked out without waiting for an explanation except for Jason who stayed behind with a smile causing Dick to roll his eyes. He grabbed Rose gently by the shoulders.

Dick: "Listen Rose, something's come up and I'm worried about Bludhaven. I have to go away for maybe a few days, but I'll be back, okay?"

Rose took some time to process what he was going through before nodding.

Rose: "You better come back otherwise I'm gonna have to kill you" she said before kissing him passionately. "I love you."

Dick: "I love you too" he said smiling.

It was around three o' clock in the morning so it was still dark. He had been driving for about an hour. Dressed in civilian clothes, he felt out of place. There was rarely a night that he didn't at least have his Nightwing gear underneath his clothes, but there was a first for everything. Wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and a motorcycle jacket, he had told the team he was on his way to Bludhaven. That was a lie. He was actually on his way to Wayne Manor. As much as he hated it, he needed Batman's help. The mission had already been cleared with Waller who told him that she wouldn't tell the team of his true destination.

The longer Dick drove, the more he hated the idea, but he had finally come to the long road leading to the Manor. He needed Batman to reach his destination and refused to take no as an answer. He was using Batman not relying on him. That was his constant mantra as he pulled up to the large gates and waited for them to open. After five seconds, the gates opened letting him through. Pulling up to the front staircase, he quickly leapt off his bike to have the door opened up and met by Alfred.

Alfred: "A pleasure to see you Master Grayson. May I get you a beverage or meal, or perhaps prepare your room?" he asked hopefully.

Dick: "Nice try Al. Where is he?

Alfred sighed and looked down.

Alfred: "Looking for clues on the Joker's whereabouts with Ms. Gordon" he said avoiding Dick's gaze, knowing what had happened between Bruce and Barbara.

Dick gave Alfred a nod and walked into the study entrance to the Batcave.

Bruce: "Have you found anything new Barbara?"

Barbara: "You mean since you asked me five minutes ago? No, Bruce I haven't."

?: "Wow. I'm sensing a lot of tension."

The two turned towards the familiar voice.

Barbara: "Dick!" she yelled as she wheeled towards him.

Dick held his hand up to stop her and walked up to Bruce avoiding Barbara.

Dick: "I need the Bat-Wing" he stated.

Bruce: "Why?"

Dick: "Because you owe me for fucking her" he said pointing at Barbara causing her jaw to drop.

Bruce looked at Dick and saw the hurt in his eyes and how hard it was to face him. He looked down and walked over to the table next to the Bat-Computer. Placing his hand on the table, a compartment opened and Bruce grabbed the keys from within.

Bruce: "At least tell me where you are going."

Dick thought for a moment before answering.

Dick: "Coast City."

Bruce and Barbara frowned.

Bruce: "Why? Are you planning to go see Hal?"

Dick: "Ah ah ah, sorry that's my business" he said shaking his finger in Bruce's face.

Taking a moment to examine the two, Dick quickly walked over and entered the Bat-Wing. Before Bruce or Barbara could think of anything more to say, he took off towards Coast City. Home of Hal Jordan, member of the Green Lantern Corps.
