Wal-man : hey tanna jus got 2 cave and Dick wont come out of his room. miss m's tried 2 get him 2 but failed. hopin maybe u could try?

Wal-man : ok see ya soon

"Hey Alfred can I go to the cave?" asked Zatanna.

"May I ask why?"

"Well you know Dick's dad sacrificed himself…" Zatanna began.

Alfred nodded.

"… Dick hasn't come out of his room in like two days apart from going to the bathroom and stuff."

"So you are going to the cave to see if you can coax him out?" asked Alfred.

"Yes," replied Zatanna, "so can I go?"

"I don't see why not; just remember not too late because Master Bruce may want you on patrol."

"Don't worry I won't, thanks Al!" said Zatanna as she raced to the Batcave.

"Oh Miss Zatanna don't forget your sunglasses!"

"Don't worry Al I got them."

MOUNT JUSTICE

NOVEMBER 9

"Recognise Robin B02"

Robin walked into the kitchen to find the team minus Dick in there.

"Hey guys, he still in his room?" asked Robin.

"Yeah we've all tried to get him out but he just won't," replied Artemis.

"Ok, I guess it's my turn then," said Robin.

Robin knocked on Dick's door twice but there was no answer. She thought about going in but decided against it, so she knocked again.

"Go away." Croaked Dick.

"No."

Dick sat up hearing Robin's voice, he now felt bad for telling her to go away but he just didn't want to talk to anyone and listen to them telling him that it was ok because it wasn't.

"Look Robin it's nice of you to come but I just want to be alone," said Dick.

Zatanna sighed, "Dick I'm not moving I- ugh- I know how you feel ok so please just talk to me."

Dick replied bitterly, "how do you know how I feel, I've lost my dad to that helmet and I'll probably never see him again."

Robin slid down against the door and sighed again, "yeah but you still have a chance even though its small you still do. Dick I'm not here to tell you it'll be ok or that you'll be fine because honestly you're not ok and it probably won't be fine for a while but you have Black Canary, Conner, M'gann, Kaldur, Artemis, Wally and me to help you get through it."

Dick was silent, "Robin I'm sorry I just I, I-"

"It's fine, now are you gonna come out and hang with me or sulk in there for the rest of the night?" asked Robin.

"Hmm, well sulking sounds pretty good right now.."

"Diiiiick," prolonged Robin.

"Alright I'm coming." Dick got off his bed and plodded over to the door and opened it, not knowing Robin was sitting against it, Robin fell backwards. Dick and Robin begin laughing hysterically when Dick helps her up and they both seem to forget they were holding hands.

Dick and Robin walk into the kitchen still oblivious that they were holding hands.

"Hey guys! I made some cookies want some?" asked M'gann.

Wally ran out of nowhere yelling, "COOKIES?"

"Yes Kid Mouth M'gann made cookies," quipped Artemis who was reading.

Artemis looked up from her book noticing Robin and Dick came in holding hands. "What's going on here?" questioned Artemis.

Robin was confused, "what are you talking about?"

Wally looked at them and gave Dick a glare. Robin looked at Dick then she looked down and saw Dick's hand in hers so she quickly let go. Dick went red but Robin, being a bat, stayed calm and composed.

Robin noticed how awkward it was she asked, "Who wants to play some video games?"

"ME!" shouted Wally.

"Of course. Dick? Artemis? M'gann?" asked Robin smiling at them all.

"Sure," said Artemis.

"Yeah ok," said Dick.

"Miss M?" urged Robin.

"No thank you I'm just going to go help Conner with his bike," replied M'gann.

"Ok have fun!" smirked Robin. "Well come on guys!"

"How are we gonna do this?" asked Wally.

"Boys V girls," suggested Artemis.

"What? Why?" whined Wally.

"Are you afraid you'll be beaten by two girls?" teased Artemis.

"No," grumbled Wally.

"Good then let's play!"

They grabbed the controllers and sat down on the green couches boys one side girls the other and began to play.

Dick was actually pretty good at the game which surprized Wally and they managed to beat the girls once. Dick wondered if Robin had let them win so their pride wouldn't be hurt because the girls won the first four games then suddenly they lost the fifth but won the two after.

Wally threw his hands up in the air after losing yet another game, "Come on Robin! I know you hacked the game!"

"You say that every time we play!" exasperated Robin.

"Yeah because it's true!"

"Oh my gosh Wally, stop now because we all know this will end badly for you."

"Yeah…right!" Wally began to sweat he knew this would end bad- it always did. But being Wally West, he couldn't help it. "You hacked it and you always do because you just don't want to lose to a boy."

"Oh really?" teased Robin, "Wally you have three seconds."

"WHAT?" squealed Wally.

"Manly tone Baywatch,"

"One."

"Oh man Wally, if I were you I'd run," suggested an amused Dick.

"Two."

Wally was off. He ran as fast as he could around the cave. Dick and Artemis laughed then looked around to find that Robin had disappeared.

Suddenly there was a cackle; a girlish shriek and a bang then it all went quiet.

Robin appeared next to Dick smirking.

"Where's Wally?" asked Dick.

Robin still smirking replied, "Right behind you."

Artemis and Dick turned around to see Wally tied up, gaged and hanging upside down from one of the support beams in the kitchen half of the room.

Artemis laughed and gave Robin a high-five.

"Hey what time is it?" asked Artemis.

Dick looked at the clock, "6:35."

"I'm five minutes late, ahh well it's worth it," said Artemis as she took out her phone to snap a picture of Wally.

She began to walk off to the zeta-tube.

"See ya Arty!" called Robin.

"See ya Rob!" Artemis called back.

Robin turned to Dick and nudged him, "You glad you came out now?"

"Yeah defiantly, thanks Robin."

"No problem, I'm just glad you're feeling the aster now."

Dick looked at her confused, "Aster?"

"Oh yeah you don't know what it is… it means the opposite of disaster," explained Robin.

Robin's comm-link buzzed, "Robin- it's Batman."

"Hey Batsy! What's up?"

"Patrol."

"Oh ok. On my way! Robin out."

Robin got off the couch and headed to the zeta-tube, "See ya tomorrow Dickie!"

Dick's cheeks burned at the nickname. "Bye."

"Oh wait!" Robin ran back to Dick and handed him a piece of paper, "This is my number for my phone, don't bother tracing it or anything like that- there's no point, anyway if you need to talk about anything just phone me, the only reason I won't answer is if I'm on patrol or at school." Robin smiled.

Dick smiled back, "thanks."

He looked at the number then looked back up and Robin was gone. He smiled to himself and thought she's a cute little ninja.

Dick turned around to go back to his room and put the number in his phone when he walked into a red-faced upside down Wally.

"Tel yllaW nwod." {Let Wally down.}

"How'd you do that?"

"Magic."

"No seriously, how did you do it? Lasers? A sword?"

Dick sighed and went to his room.

That was the first night in two days that Dick actually slept without having a nightmare about his dad.
