Dick stood in the mirror. Alfred had to readjust the size of the Batsuit to fit him. He sighed and pulled his cowl over his head and turned to the Batmobile, Snow and Artemis both smiled brightly at him. Snow and Batman jumped into the Batmobile, Artemis took the Bat-bike.
Batman sped through the streets of Gotham, looking for something to do. The night was quiet, the roar of the engine and whistling of Snow, was the only sound. Batman sighed, when he was Robin he always hated the silence. "Snow, how's your first time in the Batmobile?" he asked, Snow's eyes lit up "It's awesome!" she exclaimed.
Batman smiled, an idea popped in his head, he pulled off the road. Snow raised her eyebrow "What are you doing?" she asked skeptically, Batman chuckled "You'll see" he stated simply. He pulled into an open field, he opened the top of the Batmobile, he smiled "Press that button" he ordered, she didn't really know what was going on.
She slowly pressed the button, a small cannon revealed and fired a shot that exploded the ground. Snow giggled "That was awesome!" she exclaimed, Batman nodded "I know, Bruce hated when I did this" he told her. They stayed there for a while longer until it was late and they decided to head back to the Manor.
The next morning Dick eyes fluttered open to see a sleeping Artemis wearing his hoodie. He smiled and got up, there was a rapid knocking at the door, Dick groaned and pulled the door open, it was Damian. He pulled out his phone and went to YouTube to show Dick a video, "Watch this" he ordered. The video was a twenty second clip of Batman and a girl with snow white hair, firing shots into the ground.
"Oh-no" is all Dick had to say after the video. The video caused unwanted attention towards the Bat-Family, the media was saying that they were messing around instead of protecting the city.
"Dick, what the hell?!" Artemis yelled at him as soon as she saw the video, Dick shrugged "I just wanted to show off the Batmobile" he defended, Artemis rolled her eyes "What if somebody had seen you… Bruce would neve-" she was cut off by a flare of anger in his eyes
"You know what… you're right, I'm not Bruce, I'm Batman, I'm not even Robin or Nightwing anymore…" Dick stormed off. Artemis tried to follow but he was gone.
"Hey Man" Dick greeted at Wally's house, Wally smiled brightly "What's up? I didn't know you were back" he said as he invited Dick inside, a small kid, maybe two years old ran up to Wally, "Daddy!" he called, Wally smiled and picked the boy up, "Dick, this is Peter" he introduced, Dick smiled at the kid, "Who's" he asked.
Zatanna walked into the room "Hey Dick" she greeted, Dick smiled at her "Nevermind" he told him. Wally cleared his throat "Not to be rude but… why are you here?" he asked, Dick sighed "I thought I could do this… I thought I was ready…" he trailed off
"I'm not"
