Carnelian (Meta-War AU)

The Underworld had been the only place that he could really disappear into.

It had been a harsh, grim and heart-shattering conversation full of pain and anguish built up over the duration of war - not just Robins part in it, but Beast Boy's too - when Dick had finally approached Cyborg about starting over. It had been all too heavy and eventually, the older man had just asked him to return the next day.

With a grey dawn on the horizon, Dick had stood outside the back-door to the building currently housing Victors' main operations waiting for the older man to answer his knock.

"Okay. I'll help you out," the metallic man spoke, letting the dark haired man into the hallway. "But you're gonna have to earn it."

"Okay. Anything," he was tired now. Too tired. But he had to take the next step forward. For everyone he had wronged and for himself.

"You're gonna work for me, for now. You're gonna help relocate and hide as many meta-humans as I tell you to, and if even one of them goes missing or turns up dead because of you, then I'm gonna hand you right over to Gar's left hand."

"Understood," Dick replied, nodding.
