So apparently NekoNightwing hates Rachel and wants Rachel to suffer for everything she ever did to the Dark Knight so that's the plan.

I don't own Batman

Dick sat up in his hospital bed staring at the door. He hadn't taken his eyes off the closed door for fifteen minutes.

"Dick can you please tell me what's so interesting about the door because I can't figure out why." Bruce said.

"She's coming." Dick whispered seeming unaware of Bruce. "I know she'll be here."

"Who Dick?"

"Miss Adams. She'll be here any minute." Dick said still not taking his eyes off the door.

"Dick I've told you before, I'll handle her. You need to focus on getting better."

"I'm scared. I don't want to get taken away. I wanna stay with you." Dick said now his head tilted down. Bruce came over and sat on Dick's bed and lifted his chin up.

"Don't think about that. You know I'll do everything in my power to make sure you stay with us. Bruce said while cupping Dick cheek. Dick leaned into the gesture and it eventually made Bruce lay Dick down on the bed. While lying down, Dick starting looking at the door again. Bruce guided Dick's head to look at him again. "Stop worrying. If she comes I'll deal with her."

"Kay." Dick said and closed his eyes falling into a peaceful slumber. Less than five minutes later, the door was slammed open and in walked Dick's social worker.

"How dare you think you can be in the same room with him!" His social worker screamed thankfully not waking Dick up.

"Miss Adams, this really isn't the best time. If you need to speak with me I suggest we go outside."

"Why are you even here Wayne? Suddenly have a change of heart?"

"I'm here because my son is hurt."

"You actually have the nerve to call him that?! After everything you did to him? I should have you arrested for child abuse."

"I didn't do this to him."

"That's a likely story."

"It's the truth. Now I'd appreciated it if you didn't shout."

"I don't take orders from you Wayne. You might be the big boss at Wayne Enterprises, but to me you're just another person taking care of a foster child. It's my job to make sure that they are being treated right, and if they aren't, then I place them in another home. I'm starting to think about doing that for Mr. Grayson." Suddenly Dick's heart monitor started beeping faster. Bruce looked over at Dick who was now awake and breathing faster.

"No! Please don't take me!" Dick begged. Bruce ran over to Dick and put his hands on his shoulders.

"Easy Dick. Deep breaths. You'll make yourself even sicker if you breathe like that."

"It's not true. You told me you wouldn't…"

"No it's not true. She just wants to check up on us. Just tell her the truth and everything will be fine." Bruce said.

"Don't you try to tell him anything Wayne. I'm getting him out of here." Dick now was struggling to get out of Bruce's grasp. Just then, a nurse ran in.

"Everyone out! You are making my patient nervous." The nurse told everyone in the room.

"Thank you! Did you hear her Wayne?" Miss Adams asked rudely.

"I mean all of you. I will not have you make Richard's heart rate go up making him worse." The nurse said.

"Bruce! Stay with me! Please!" Dick begged.

"It's not me who's making him nervous." Bruce said but the nurse still tried to push Bruce out.

"BRUCE!" Dick screamed.

"Are you Bruce?" The nurse asked.

"Yes. Bruce Wayne." He said shaking the nurse's hand.

"Because of Dick's screaming, I'll allow you to stay with him."

"Thank you."

"You can't be serious. That man abuses that child!" Miss Adams said.

"I find that hard to believe since Richard is screaming out for him. Now you need to get out of here please." The nurse said pushing Miss Adams out.

"This isn't over Wayne."

"Oh yes it is." Bruce said and the social worker was dragged out of the room. "Alright Dick, I need you to take deep breaths for me. She's gone now." Dick did as he was told and calmed down. "Atta boy." Bruce said pushing him back down on his bed.

"When can we go home?"

"They just want to keep you here for observation and if everything is good then we'll go home." Bruce said now rubbing Dick's hair. Just then the door opened.

"Hiya Alfred." Dick said.

"So good to see you awake sir." Alfred said coming in. "Though Master Dick's Social Worker left saying something about getting a court order."

"I know she'll be back; and when she does, we'll be ready." Bruce said.

Break*Break*Break

The next day Dick was released and put under strict bed rest.

"Bruce?"

"Yeah Dick?" Bruce said as he was carrying him up to his room.

"I just thought of this. What if Deathstroke finds us? He told me he'd be back. I'm scared."

"There's nothing to be afraid of little bird. I won't let him touch you." Bruce then opened Dick's door and laid him down in his bed.

"Promise?"

"I promise. Now why don't you try and take a nap."

"But what if…"

"I told you, don't worry about her. Let me worry about that."

"Alright. Can you stay with me just until I fall asleep?"

"Of course." Bruce then stayed with Dick and rubbed his head until he fell asleep.

3 hours later

Dick woke up and noticed that Bruce was gone and his fireplace was lit. Then he looked at his window. Remembering what Bruce told him, he took a deep breath and got up out of bed.

"Bruce will protect me." He muttered to himself and walked to his chair by the fireplace. Then to take his mind off of everything, he grabbed his book on the table next to him and started reading. A half an hour later someone knocked on his door.

"Hey kiddo, I was just coming to check on you." Bruce said coming in.

"Hi. She…she didn't come here right?"

"No Dick." Bruce answered and gave him a very small glare.

"Sorry." He said and his head looked towards the ground. Bruce gave a small sigh rubbed his forehead. Suddenly he had an idea.

"Hey, what do you say you and I go for a ride?"

"Really?"

"Yeah. How about you and I go look at some Christmas lights?"

"Ok." Dick said and got up and the two left the car. Bruce and Dick then went to get some hot chocolate and drove around Gotham looking at the bright, colorful lights. After they were done, it was about 10:00pm and the young Wayne heir was fast asleep. Bruce smiled not only because he was able to get Dick's mind off of everything, but he actually had a good time doing something he hadn't done in years. After they got home, Bruce carried Dick up to his room and gently laid him down and kissed him on his forehead. Then he walked over to Dick's window and made sure his window was locked and the security system was on. 'You're not going to touch him again Slade.' He thought to himself. Afterwards he left Dick's room and went to bed himself.

The Next Morning

"…you can't do that!"

"I can and will Bruce. You don't deserve to take care of him anymore." Dick woke up to hearing two people arguing downstairs. He got out of bed and tiptoed downstairs to see what was going on.

"You're not taking him from me."

"Don't make this harder than it needs to be Bruce. We're only doing this for his safety."

"I'm not the reason he ended up in the hospital."

"I find that hard to believe." Dick peeked his head out and saw Rachel arguing with Bruce. "What if those criminals find out who you are? They'll use Dick against you without a doubt."

"They won't find out."

"I swear I tell the courts if I have to."

"Don't you dare. That'll just make things worse."

"At least he'll be safe from you. I'm taking him right now and taking him to Social Services."

"What?!" Dick shouted and walked out. The two looked behind them both went wide-eyed.

"You're not safe here honey. I'm only thinking what's best for you."

"I am safe with Bruce."

"He lets you go out in the middle of the night to fight dangerous criminals who could easily kill you."

"I decided to become Robin. It's not Bruce's fault; it's mine."

"No honey. Bruce is your guardian and he is in charge of your safety. The fact that you work with him makes him at fault." Dick started to back up and shake his head.

"You can't take me away! You can't."

"I'm afraid I have to." Rachel said and walked towards him.

"Don't touch me! We trusted you!"

"I know this must seem unfair right now but it'll all work out for the best." Rachel said getting at eye level. "Right now I need you to come with me. You'll have your chance to speak tomorrow during the court case." She said putting her hands on his shoulders. Dick looked at Bruce confused on what to say. Then he ran over to Bruce hugging him tight.

"It's okay Dick, we'll win this. Just go with her for now." Bruce said.

"Okay Bruce. Can a please say goodbye to Alfred." He asked Rachel.

"Sure." She said and Dick called for Alfred.

"I'm here sir." Alfred said coming in the room.

"I…I'm leaving."

"Where are you going sir?" Dick looked at Bruce for help.

"Rachel's taking him away." Bruce finally said.

"Whatever for?"

"It's for his own safety. The courts will decide where to put him tomorrow."

"I see." Alfred said and Dick went over and hugged the butler.

"I'll miss you Alfred."

"As will I, but you'll be home with us before you know it."Dick let go and smiled at the butler. Then he went over to Bruce. The two looked at each other for a moment before Dick ran to him and Bruce picked him up hugging him tight.

"Bye Bruce. I'll miss you." Dick said shedding a few tears.

"We'll win this. I promise you."Bruce said and kissed his hair. Finally he set him down and Rachel took him to her car and drove away.

Alright, this turned out to be way longer then I thought. Yes there will be a part 3 but I do want to take a break from it for a while and write a few BTAS shorts.

Remember to Review.
