Dead, Gone or Alive? Part 27

"Am I going to go home today?" Dick asked, sitting on the already made bed as Selina entered the room.

Surprised at the boy, Selina could see the shadows under his eyes and the fact that he looked so tired and worn out. Nodding to him. Dick stood from the bed and walked to the door, walking side by side Selina and Dick, stopped at a desk. Selina signed a few papers, Selina thanked the doctors and got Dick's medication from them, before she led Dick outside of the building for the first time in two weeks. The smile on Dick's face, as he stood outside breathing in the fresh air was amazing he seemed so happy. Hopping in Selina's car, Dick sat in the passenger seat, his stomach turned in excitement of being able to see Bruce and Alfred again after so long. Entering the gates of the Wayne Manor, Selina parked her car in front of the door and stepped out the car, Dick opened his door and stepped out, looking at the manor, Dick's smile was larger than ever. Alfred opened the door to greet Selina, when he saw Dick standing at the car, looking up at him.

"Dick?...Dick," Alfred shouted, running to Dick and hugging him as tight as he possibly could.

Dick hugged Alfred back, barely able to breathe from the tight hug Alfred was giving him.

"Alfred, he needs to breath," Selina told Alfred, Alfred loosen his grip and stared at Dick smiling at him.

"Are you okay?" Alfred asked, his tone serious.

"Alfred, he has been in a lab for the last two weeks, the other side of him has disappeared and he is back to normal," Selina told Alfred, looking up at Selina Alfred had so many questions.

Directing Selina and Dick inside, Alfred held Dick's hand afraid that if he released his hand that he would disappear. Pulling Dick along after him, Alfred opened the Batcave by the silver cardboard and went down the steps into the Batcave.

"Bruce...Bruce, where are you are?" Alfred called, reaching the bottom of the steps.

Bruce turned round from the Batcomputer, frozen at seeing Dick standing with Alfred and Selina right in front of him. Dick ran towards Bruce as fast as he possibly could. Bruce was up from his chair, running towards the small boy. Reaching the boy, Bruce feel to his knees, wrapping his arms around the boy and hugging him to his chest. Breathing hard, Dick held on to Bruce as tight as he could.

"Dad," Dick whispered, tears in his eyes.

"I'm here, I'm here," Bruce whispered over and over again.

Selina watched Bruce with Dick, knowing how much he had missing the boy and how much both he and Alfred needed this small boy in their lives. Alfred moved closer to Bruce and Dick setting his hands on their shoulders and ending up pulled into the hug. Seeing this moment, Selina knew she had done the right thing, even if Bruce didn't think so at this exact moment.
