Robin's End
"It would appear you goons were no match for the partner of Batman! How did you guys get in here anyway?"
"Tim where are you why didn't you report back to me like I asked you to?"
"Sorry Dick I'm on my way back to the Manor."
"You better hurry Barbs here and she's not happy at all."
"What's going on Alfred Bruce suit's bio readings are spiking?"
"Well Miss Barbara I'm afraid… Well speaking of Mater Bruce."
"I found Penguin," Batman said without even a hello.
"And Mister Freeze? Have you located the cure yet?"
"Not yet. The situation is worse than I thought. Penguin has a supply of the TITAN formula."
"He's got what?" Barbara interrupted angrily how'd he get TITAN off Arkham Island? What's going on here? Your suits bio readings are spiking?"
"Nice of you to join us Oracle Alfred bring Barbara up to speed."
"Of course"
"But…"
"I'll be in touch." And with that the Batman ended his call to go find Fries and the hostages.
The Manor
Back at the Manor everyone began to worry about Bruce and question his actions.
"So Bruce was sent to jail." quoted Barbara.
"And on top of that he's dying," spoke Dick who sounded sad.
"But does that also mean that the Joker dying as since it was his blood that did this to Bruce?" spoke Tim to break the ice.
"Bruce better do something about this if Hugo Strange knows his identity and sent those TYGER here do they know to." Spoke Dick still trying to cope with the situation.
"I highly doubt they know his secret Master Richard they were just following orders like the good puppets they are."
"Bruce I hope he's OK in Arkham City Bruce Wayne and Batman are both not safe what so ever," spoke Barbara.
"He'll be fine right Alfred I mean this is Batman were talking about? Who can be in Arkham that can hurt Batman?" Tim said again to break the ice.
"Everyone Tim! I can't just sit here and not do anything while Bruce is in trouble! I think you and I could just go in there and help him out I'm worried about him."
"No we can't what if Hugo sees us then he just might expose Bruce's identity to all of Arkham City. We just need to sit and wait till the time is right Dick then we can charge in there."
"Fine we can wait but the moment I find a little problem with Batman's suit I'm going in," Dick quoted as he charged to the kitchen to get a meal.
"Look at him he's already over it. Bruce is going to be fine isn't he Barb." Now Tim was starting to think Dick was right.
"Yeah I really hope so Tim I really do."
In front of the manor reporters lined up to see how the Wayne family was holding up they wanted to see if Mister Bruce Wayne's sudden arrest was affecting them in anyway. To their surprise the amazing son Dick Grayson answered the door they were so excited they just had to know.
"Do you think Bruce will die in jail." Asked a reporter
"How are you holding up seeing as he's your father?" asked another.
"DO you fill the same way u felt during your parents dead?"
That was the last one before Dick lost it.
"How dare you come to my home and ask me how my father's doing you're a reporter are you not well go pull a Vicki Vale or Jack Ryder and go get arrested yourself. And if you ever speak of my parents again Batman won't be able to stop me from ending you!" and with that Dick shut the door cursing under his tongue.
Tim was surprised he never saw Dick refer to Bruce as his father the Boy Wonder must miss Bruce more then he lets on.
"Dick I know it's heart breaking but you have to calm down trust me."
"Yeah your right Tim I over reacted a bit I guess Bruce is just my father I know he will never replace my real parents but, he's doing a great job being my guardian," Dick said with a sob.
"Guys I don't want to interrupt this bonding moment but have any of you guys seen this," Barbara cried looking at the computer.
On the scream read a little information on the Iceberg Lounge and how when Penguin punished it under it lays SOLOMON GRUNDY? Of all people to be under penguin's control it had to be him!
"That's it I'm going to go help Bruce. He can't do this alone if he hasn't noticed he's not superman he can't go toe to toe with SOLOMON GRUNDY without help!"
"Dick, Batman went toe and toe Bane, Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Ra's al Ghul, Mister Freeze, Psion Ivy, Catwomen, TITAN Monsters, Killer Croc, Riddler, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and Clayface all those crazy people that even Superman can't face alone. Batman is able to put them to shame and lock away the key. He can go toe to toe with villains lets not forget that just last year he was stuck on an Island with all those crazies. He can handle SOLOMON GRUNDY you are more overprotective then he was when you were Robin." Stated Tim knowing he got through to Dick.
"Yeah I guess your right about that. I'm only overprotective because I'm worried about him Tim, but your right he will be just fine he's Batman after all right."
"Glad your back Dick I almost thought I lost you there."
"If anyone's lost it's going to be you Tim I never get lost."
"Oh so he was about to break and now he thinks I'm crazy those spring kids I tell you."
