p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"strongThe rivalry between the Robins and the Batgirls now the Barbies intensifies here. Poor Damian. There is a timeskip here about ten years. Yup Dick is now 22, Jason 21, Tim 20 and Damian 18 here. Loads of swearing in year no thanks to them now being a bunch of wangsty adults. Trigger warning: possible suicidal undertones. Also Dick is gonna be a bitch here. Why? See for yourself. This should remind you of a certain infamous interview of a certain pop princess by a person called Diane Sawyer. Yup, that one./strong/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Dick you are taking forever!" Jason yells as he flops onto the bed. Damian folds his arms and pouts. "Tt!" Tim merely shakes his head. Dick being the overbearing diva that he was would take long hours to get dressed. Considering how vain he is, it should not surprise anyone./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Dick stomps into the room wearing a black shirt with some strange blue bird insignia on the front and a pair of dark blue jeans and blue sneakers. "Jay, do me a favour and KEEP QUIET!" he screeches, making the other birds to cower in fear. Nothing scares them more than an angry bossy Dickie which is why his evil schemes always succeeds. He just knows how to manipulate and bully others into doing his evil bidding./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Jeez Big D, no need to be dramatic." Says Tim. Damian says, "Tt!" to this. He shoots them the Batglare which silences all of them. "I do whatever the hell pleases me thank you very much. Besides, I gosta look hot at all times." he says. The others rolled their eyes. Trust Dick to be a narcissist. Not surprising since he is their leader and the one that the ladies flock to the most./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"The TV comes on and shows the Barbara having an interview with a CNN reporter. "Now there have been rumours going on about you and Dick Grayson lately. That you and Dick have broken up." Dick sighed. They did break up weeks ago and that was because Barbara cheated on him with Roy Harper his rival. Things got so bad that he literally shut down for days, it is the most vulnerable he had been./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Barbara nods. "Dick and I made a promise that we will not disclose what truly happened that day but all I can say is that it was amicable." she says. Dick snorts. "Amicable my ass." he says. "There is also the issue of the purity ring that he wears. Does he still wear it or did he lose his virginity?" the interviewer asked. "Whoa! What's with the invasion of privacy dammit?!" says Jason. "Yeah, what's their fucking business?!" Tim shouts. Damian simply stares in disbelief. Bruce was watching in his room and frowned. Barbara looks away awkwardly before muttering. "He lost his virginity to me."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Almost immediately the media ran with the news story, salvaging Dick and the Robins, well Dick mostly at every given opportunity. Dick naturally shut down at this as he ran into his room and locked himself up. "DICK!" the other three yell and knock on the door. Dick does not answer them and breaks down in tears. "B-But she told me she would not tell anyone except her sisters. " he mutters. He looks around for something sharp and then finds a pair of scissors on the beside table./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Quick, we need to get in there before he does something crazy!" says Jason. He and Tim try to break down the door. "Pardon me." says Alfred. They step aside and Alfred kicks the door open. They gasp as soon as they see the scissors near Dick's wrist which was bleeding. "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!" Jason shouts. Tim rushes over to his older brother and takes the scissors away. Damian breaks down upon seeing his brother in his pathetic state. Tim quickly cleans up and patches his wound for him./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Master Dick." says Alfred. "No...you guys leave me.." Damian hugs him and sobs into his chest. Bruce was standing by the hallway, his heart crushed at seeing his son in such a terrible state. He just found out about Barbara releasing a song to capitalise on this and knowing that girl, she will surely win unless Dick fires back some way but in his current state, maybe it is not advisable./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Bruce sighs and walks over to his son and hugs him. "It's alright son. Everything will be alright." he says in the most soothing tone possible. Dick simply nods, not knowing what to say. "What do we do dad?" Damian asked. Bruce sighs and pats the baby's head. "We cannot stay silent forever." says Jason. "Yeah, we need to say something because Barbara has gone way over board. She is the cheat not him." says Damian. Tim then begins to think. "Would it be too early for a relationship rebound?" Tim asks./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Dick glares at him. "What do you mean?" Tim smirks. "For once Dickiebird, you are not the scheming one here." he says. "Anyhow, remember Kori Anders?" Dick nods. Kori Anders was a member of a not so popular girl band back then. Now rumour has it that she could be going solo now. "Uhm...what has she got to do with right now?" Tim's smirk broadens, frightening the shit out of both Dick and Bruce. "She told me about a song that she is working on and was looking for a male solo artist to duet with her."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""So you want me to duet with her?" Bruce grins. "You know, that could be a good idea. Think about it, Kori is beautiful, heck way more attractive than Barbara with a lot of talent and sex appeal and would be the perfect rival for Barbara on so many levels. Also this would be the perfect rebound for you in the romantic aspect of things." says Bruce. Dick stops and then blinks. "But isn't it a little too fast?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Oh come on Dick, like they said, this would be the perfect rebound. All you have to do is to meet Kori. But before then, damage control for the current situation." says Jason. Bruce nods. "Will discuss with Lucius about that. Knowing the paps, they will come hounding Dick at any moment." Bruce turned out to be right as the next couple of weeks turned out to be hellish as everywhere Dick went, the paparazzi followed him./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""This is a serious case." says Oswald. Team Robin had gathered in the boardroom and were discussing the next line of action in regards to Dick and the whole Barbara situation. "We have to actually say the truth because that Gordon bitch is really trying to sabotage Dick for her own advantage. I mean, she did that to Duke Thomas and look where that landed the dude." says Helena. Bruce sighs. "She is right but it is better if Dick himself speaks up about that." says Jason. "Agreed. Let him talk about the break up and set the record straight." says Edward Nigma, the boys' producer./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"It was at that moment that Dick walks into the room. Everyone gasps upon seeing him. In stark contrast with the smiley ever cheerful yet arrogant but nice Dick Grayson everyone knows, the man that stood in front of them was the shadow of the old Dick Grayson, his hair was disshevelled, his eyes drooping as though he was sleeping. Also he wore slacks rather than being sharply dressed like he is normally dressed. emThe press are going to have a field day with this. /emLucius thinks to himself./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Dick staggers to the table and takes his seat beside Damian. "Hello guys. What's cooking?" he slurs in his typical joking tone. Unfortunately his attempt to lighten up the mood fell flat as all eyes were on him. "Dick, you ok?" Bruce asked. Dick nods. "Yes I'm fine even though I haven't been sleeping for the past couple days." Bruce panics inwardly. emDon't tell me he has been overworking is ass to death./em/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Tim sighed. Dick has been spending long hours, recording and practicing. He released like 4 solo albums back then and as always, the demand for new Dick material is on the all time high, especially now with all the drama about him and Barbara and the manner by which the media continues to salvage him. "You need to rest." says Jason. Dick pouts. "No. I need to get this done before it is too late."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""He does have a point. The comeback can wait. Others can have their moment but you can still gain your crown back later." says Oswald. At those words, Dick flares up. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WAIT?! I CANNOT WAIT! I WANT MY VOICE TO BE HEARD!" Dick then gets up and stands on the table. "I WILL NOT SIT HERE AND LET OTHERS RUN THEIR MOUTH ABOUT ME! NO! NO! NO!" Jason, Lucius and Bruce struggle and eventually manage to get Dick down. "Dick calm down." says Jason. "Yeah you are really worrying us right now!" says Selena. Damian simply stares on in confusion. ""B-But you don't understand...I need to say something!" says Dick. "I..I can't let them win. I can't let her win." Upon hearing her, everyone knew he meant Barbara./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Maybe he should do the interview." says Oswald. "But in his current state?!" says Edward. "I am worried for him." says Selena. "We all are but let us do this." says Lucius. Bruce shakes his head whilst Jason and Tim try to calm their now hyper brother. Weeks after that, he grants an interview to Diane Sawyer./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Now let us go over your background. You grew up as a skilled acrobat in the circus correct?" Dick nods. A lot of people were shocked with this as they all thought that he grew up as Bruce Wayne's son from the very beginning, not knowing that Bruce actually adopted him when he was six. "I grew up in the circus until my parents passed away when I was just 6 years old. They died as a result of a terrible accident that happened during a performance.I..I saw the whole thing with my eyes." he says solemnly. A couple of people felt sorry for him though that still did not quell the hate towards him as a lot of people still felt he was faking it./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""I am sorry to hear that." says Diane, who did not even sound sorry for a remote second. "How did you meet Bruce Wayne?" He answered. "He was there the night my parents died and he so happens to be a good friend of my dad's and dad told him that if anything should ever happen to him then he should take care of me which he accepted, hence how I ended up being his legally adopted son." he says. Diane nodded. "Now the singing thing, how did it begin?" He smiles softly at this. "I have always been singing ever since I was little. I would always sing and dance everyday and thus when the others came in, we would sing and entertain ourselves and also make a racket along the way." Diane chuckles at this. "I love that you love your family so much." Dick smiles. "They are all I have if things fall apart." That line made everyone panic as they wondered what was going on in Dick's mind. "Is he going insane?" a concerned fan asked whilst watching the interview./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"As though sensing his inner turmoil, Diane pounced in. "Now that brings me to a rather controversial issue. Your relationship with Barbara Gordon. You and her have been dating since when?" she asked. "Since I was 12. She was 15." People gasped at that revelation. "Hold up, she said she was 13 when you guys met." said Diane. Dick simply laughs. "Oh did she now. Well hate it break it to y'all but she was 15. You see, Barbara is an evil little snake who manipulates people into doing her bidding. I mean, I clearly told her then that I was not ready and yet that bitch forced me into having sex with her against my will. I am sure she has a sex tape I know nothing about hiding somewhere. Oh, and I was 14 then by the way." Almost immediately, the internet explodes with a lot of people coming to Dick's defense with the other side siding with Barbara and saying that Dick was lying./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""So she actually raped you?" says Diane. Dick snorts. "I did not say that but you did." he snarks. People laughed loving that the old snarky Dick Grayson was back. "She said you cheated on her?" Dick rolled his eyes. "Bitch please. If I did, I wouldn't have slept with her in the first place. I mean, do you journalists ever do your fucking research? I found out that she cheated on me a couple days ago with my rival Roy Harper and yet she paints me to be the villain. I get it, I understand that not everyone is gonna like me and stuff but then again, that gives you bitches no right to fucking judge me because I am human like you and thus will make mistakes! But you know, this is what I get for opening up my heart years ago when that bitch walked into my life. I even regret ever saying stuff about my virginity when I should have kept that to myself and dodged the fucking bullet! You know what, screw it, this interview is over!" With that, Dick gets up and walks out, leaving a stunned Diane Sawyer./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"That interview makes headlines as the media have a field day tearing Dick apart despite his candid confession. Naturally, Barbara benefits from this backlash as she releases yet another diss track aimed at Dick, making Dick to break down yet again. Certainly does not help that the video has a Dick look alike in it./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""WHY?!" He screams, flipping the table. He begins to throw things around in rage. "Dick calm down!" says Jason. "NO JAY! DON'T TELL ME THAT SHIT!" Dick shouts. Tim and Jason struggle to calm him down and get him to sit down. "Leave me alone!" says Dick as he pushes them away and heads to his room and locks himself up in his room. Alfred who happened to be there walks past the other Robins. /p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Master Dick, please let me in." Dick opens the door and lets Alfred in. Still the other two run in and give their brother a hug. "Please Dickiebird calm down!" says Jason. "Yeah you are stressed out bro. Besides, you have been thinking more about her and not enough about yourself! It's time you do you. Let us have fun tonight bro!" says Tim. Dick smiles a bit. "Ok but I need to clean myself up first."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;""Dick you are taking forever!" Jason yells as he flops onto the bed.

I even regret ever saying stuff about my virginity when I should have kept that to myself and dodged the fucking bullet! You know what, screw it, this interview is over!" With that, Dick gets up and walks out, leaving a stunned Diane Sawyer./p

Naturally, Barbara benefits from this backlash as she releases yet another diss track aimed at Dick, making Dick to break down yet again. Certainly does not help that the video has a Dick look alike in it./p

He begins to throw things around in rage. "Dick calm down!" says Jason. "NO JAY! DON'T TELL ME THAT SHIT!" Dick shouts. Tim and Jason struggle to calm him down and get him to sit down. "Leave me alone!" says Dick as he pushes them away and heads to his room and locks himself up in his room. Alfred who happened to be there walks past the other Robins. /p

Still the other two run in and give their brother a hug. "Please Dickiebird calm down!" says Jason. "Yeah you are stressed out bro. Besides, you have been thinking more about her and not enough about yourself! It's time you do you. Let us have fun tonight bro!" says Tim. Dick smiles a bit. "Ok but I need to clean myself up first."/p
