Hey guys. Real sorry about the wait but I've been in camp for two weeks and came home exhausted every day so I haven't been able to do much. So this is one of my favorite scenes from Dark knight rises. It's when Bruce is climbing out of the pit. Dick is going to be seven in this one and you'll see why later. Also the Ra's Al Ghul scene is only partly like the movie but it's not the same. I'm just calling it one of Bruce's nightmares.

Bruce was so dizzy and delirious but he could feel people dragging him. He moved his head a bit and saw his adopted son Richard completely unconscious. He tried to move to get to his son but it just made him dizzier.

"Dick" He mumbled. Suddenly he felt himself get pushed down something. Then Dick came in right after him. Both were bouncing on the side of the walls until Bruce looked over and saw Dick hit his head.

"No." Bruce whispered and finally passed out.

"DICK!" Bruce screamed as he wolk up and was staring up at Bane. He looked around and noticed he was in some kind of prison.

"Why didn't you just kill me?" He asked.

"You don't fear death." Bane answered back. "You welcome it. Your punishment must be much more saver.

"Touchier" Bruce said.

"Yes, but not of your body. Of your soul."

Bruce then took in a deep breath and said "Where's Richard?"

"Your young friend is resting. He took quite a blow on the way down." Bruce tried to get up but his back pain won the fight.

"Protective are we."

"Where are we?"

"Home. Where I learned the truth about despair. As will you. Many people have died down here trying to climb out of this pit. So easy and simple. But now you and your precious son will watch as Gotham tares itself apart. And when it is completely destroyed, you have my permission to die." Bane said and pushed hard on Bruce's chest.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Bruce screamed and started gasping.

"Bruce! Bruce what's…Ahhhhhh!" Dick said getting up but he collapsed from his injuries. Bane looked right at Dick and walked over toward him as he passed out again.

"NO! Don't touch him! Don't you dare touch him!" Bruce screamed. Bane ignored Bruce and violently yanked Dick off the floor and threw him on the bed.

"You shouldn't be up on that nasty injury young man." Bane said. He didn't hurt Dick but he sure had him scared to death. Then as soon as Bane left, Bruce tried to get off the bed and over to his broken child. But his broken back made him in deep pain. Dick started moaning in pain which was stabbing Bruce's heart. Suddenly someone came carrying bread and water and listening to another prisoner. The man came and put the piece of bread to his mouth.

"He needs it more." Bruce said pointing to Dick lying on the bed. The man then broke the piece of bread in half.

"You both need it if you are to survive. He said.

"Help me to him."

"I need to take care of you first. Your vertebra has been dislocated and needs to be reset."

"How would you know?"

"The prisoner over there used to be a prison doctor." The man then straps a rope around Bruce as he tells the story about the only person who has ever managed to get out of the pit.

"So Bane was the child that was born here?"

"It is not my place to tell. This is Bane's prison now." Suddenly the man pulled hard on the rope.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bruce screamed.

"I have to push your Vertebra back."

"How…AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH." The man had pushed his vertebra back in by force.

"Stay there until you are able to stand." Finally the man went over to Dick which caused Bruce to try as hard as he could to stand and get to his child. The man felt Dick's forehead and took his pulse. Before he could say anything, Bruce then passed out.

Bruce then wolk up delirious. He didn't know if he was a dream or reality.

"Did you think I wouldn't return Bruce? I told you I was immortal." Ra's Al Ghul asked.

"I watched you die." Bruce said.

"There are many forms of immortality."

"You were the mercenary. Bane is your child."

"I did think of him at first. But then I realized that I needed a younger heir to lead the league of Assassins and fulfill his duty to restore balance to civilization. Ra's said. Then he proceeded to walk toward Dick.

"No. He's just a child."

"You yourself were my chosen heir at first. With all your strength and resources, all your moral authority. But all you could achieve was a lie and a boy who you tried to heal. Finally you understand that you are unable to care for a child such as this. Even will your experiences, this child is unhealable. Ra's then took his sword and aimed it at Dick's heart.

"NO DON'T!"

"This child must die." Ra's then stabbed the sword into the child's chest.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Bruce then snapped back into reality. His heart was beating very fast and was afraid to look at the bed next to him. HE looked on the bed and sighed in relief that his son was still breathing. Then he remembered everything that had happened.

Suddenly the man that had placed his vertebra back came to the cell room. "He's running a fever and his head is cracked a little at the top." Bruce's eyes widen and struggled to try and stand up. "Has minor cuts and bruises from the fall no less." Finally Bruce touched his feet to the ground.

"Has he woken up yet? Bruce gasped.

"No. I worry if he doesn't wake up soon. He may die…"

"He's not going to die!" Bruce said. Finally seeing that Bruce was standing, he went and helped get the rope off him. As soon as it was off he stumbled. The man rushed to help Bruce up but he told the prisoner to not help him. At last Bruce was up on his feet and started walking towards Dick's bed. He then tried to wake him up.

"Come on Dick. Come on bud. You need to wake up for me." Bruce said. Nothing happened. "Buddy I have some water here for you. You need to drink something so you don't get dehydrated. Can you open your eyes for me?" Bruce saw Dick's eyes start to flicker open. "That's it Dickie. Let me see those baby blues of yours." Dick moaned and then opened his eyes. Bruce smiled at him.

"Bruce," Dick moaned

"I'm here. I'm here now." Dick tried to get up to hug his guardian but once again his injuries were too much for him.

"Here" Bruce said and bent down and gave Dick a hug. Finally when they broke apart, Bruce got the water. "Drink this buddy. I need you to stay hydrated."

"Bruce, I don't feel good."

"I know. But drink this and eat some bread and you'll feel a little better. Please buddy? It'll taste real good. Bruce said.

"O-ok." (Cough, cough) Bruce then used one hand to hold Dick's head up a little while his other hand was used to get the water into his mouth. Suddenly Dick started dosing off again.

"No buddy. I know you're sick but you have to eat something."

"Sorry. I just don't feel good."

"I know you don't, just eat this bread and you can go back to sleep." Dick nodded and slowly began to eat his piece of bread. After he was done, he crawled into Bruce's arms and fell back asleep.

"How can I help him?" Bruce asked the prisoner.

"Without medication, you're doing everything that can be done. If you have him take this twice a day, he may heal in a few days. Bruce looked at the prisoner untrusting.

"I got this from the doctor." He reassured Bruce. Bruce nodded and wolk Dick up again so he could give him the medicine.

"Good boy." Bruce said after Dick got his medicine down. Bruce then laid down with him and they both fell asleep.

For the next few months, Bruce trained hard every day to try and climb that pit. Dick watched his father train every day. Every few days Bruce would try to climb the pit while he stayed with the prisoners chanting "Deshi Basara." Suddenly Bruce fell down and hit the side hard. One day Bruce started training again starting with some push-ups. Dick then got on the ground and started doing push-ups too. Bruce kept doing push-ups and looked at Dick funny.

"I'm trying to stay in shape like you Bruce. Dick explained. Bruce smiled and both did their, workout. Every once in a while Bruce would show Dick some of his Batman moves when no one was looking. "Bruce?"

"Yes Dick."

"I've been thinking. When you get to the top of the pit, you're nearly at the very top. But that large gap is too big to jump it."

"I just need to train harder." Bruce said doing some sit-ups.

"What if next time you go, I go with you?" Bruce stopped doing sit-ups and looked Dick right in the eyes.

"Dick I can't. What if you fell and got hurt? I nearly lost you when we first came in here. I can't risk having that happen again.

"Maybe you could throw me when we get to that large gap. Then I can climb those two steps and…"

"I'm sorry son. I just can't."

Later that night, Bruce had a nightmare about falling down that well. When he awoke he saw Dick who was snuggled close to him like he always had for the past 5 months.

"You do not fear death; you think this makes you strong. This makes you weak.

Why?

How can you move faster than possible? Fight longer than possible? If not from the most powerful impulse of the spirit. The fear of death. The will to survive.

I do fear death. I fear dying in here while my city burns with no one there to save it. I fear dying while my son is alive. He can't watch someone else he loves die in front of him again.

"Then make the climb."

"Just as the child did. Without the rope."

"The next morning, Bruce wolk Dick up and started packing a bag for him and Dick.

"Why are we packing supplies Bruce?"

"Today's the day we get to see the light." Bruce and Dick then left their cell and went to where Bruce would climb.

"Supplies for your journey?" A prisoner asks and some laugh at them. Bruce holds Dick's hand and they make their way to the rope.

"What are they saying?" Bruce asked.

"Rise."

"Ok, you make every move I make. Not one slightest mishap. If I fall don't look down, keep going. Understand?"

"Wait, I'm going with you?"

"Unless you don't want to."

"Yes I want to come!"

"Just…please be careful."

"Every step you make." Bruce hugged him and kissed his forehead incase he did fall to his death. Bruce then refused the rope and he and Dick started to make their way up.

Deshi Basara.

Dick climbed up with Bruce following every little move that Bruce made. As they climbed higher and higher, the prisoners' chant of "Deshi Basara" grew louder. Finally Bruce and Dick made it to the large gap that Bruce could never get past. Suddenly out of nowhere, bats came flying past their heads. Bruce crouched down and protected his son from the bat. As soon as they were gone, Bruce and Dick got back up. The prisoners were practically shouting their chant. Dick looked at Bruce and nodded at him. Bruce took a deep breath as he picked up his son. Then Dick took a deep breath as Bruce swung him back. 1…(back and forward)…2(back)…3. And Bruce threw him across the gap.

DESHI BASARA! DESHI BASARA! DESHI BASARA! DESHI BASARA! DESHI BASARA!

Dick was flying his way across the gap. He felt like he was in the circus again and waiting for someone to catch him. He reached out as far as he could to catch the ledge. Bruce watched him fly with a heavy heart. 'I threw him to short. He's going to fall!' Dick reached for the platform and…caught it! The prisoners were clapping and cheering because Dick had made it over that gap. Dick smiled and pulled himself up looking down at the prisoners cheering for him. As soon as he got to his feet he then looked at his father, who was grinning ear to ear and clapping at him.

"Well done lad. Well done." Bruce said. Finally Dick climbed out of the pit and after 5 months in the dark, he saw the world again. Taking in a breath of fresh air, he then threw the rope down at the prisoners who were still shouting.

After a few seconds, Bruce climbed up the rope still grinning ear to ear and scooped him up in his arms. With no going back, Bruce and Dick hand in hand made their way back to their city.

Man was that a long chapter. I actually had Goosebumps writing this. If you want to do something cool, have the exact scene where Bruce is climbing (and succeeds) from the movie and then try and read this. Anyway I really want some reviews before I write some more. I might do a Damian oldest and Dick the youngest short. Also I will add Barbra in one of the chapters as I have been asked to.

Thanks
