O Brother Chapter 3

Mount justice:

The roar of the bat mobile's engine echoed through the mountain as it pulled into the mount's garage. Batman stepped out of the car and was welcomed be the sounds of the team and mentors. He sighed. He really did want to have to come get Robin. He had tried calling Robin on his com but Robin never answered. Batman figured he had just forgotten to turn it on or something. So he was forced to come to the mountain and to get his protégé.

He walked silently through the mountain on his way to the entertainment room. When he arrived at said room he was met with a scream from M'ggan. He quickly looked around the room and sighed when he noticed why she had screamed. There was a horror fill playing on the big screen TV.

"Ha! This is such a stupid movie." Artemis said from her spot on the couch by Green Arrow. "It is not!" yelled Kidflash from the other side of Green Arrow. "It's a great movie!"

"It's not even scary." She said with an eye roll. "It's plenty scary!" the speedster said as he glared at the young archer. Another scream erupted from M'ggan scaring Wally and making him jump with a scream of his own. Artemis just rolled her eyes again.

The dark night watched all this from where he stood at the door unnoticed by the others. He looked around but couldn't see Robin anywhere in the group of heroes. 'Great now I have to talk so someone.' He sighed at the thought. He silently walked over to the group, stopping behind the Flash.

He looked back to the screen of the TV. It was right at the most horrifying part of the movie. He knew because this was also one of Robin's favorites. Everyone was looking to the screen with wide eyes. 'At lest I get to have some fun with this.' He thought to himself then cleared his throat and everyone on the couch jumped. There was I high pitched shriek from the Flash. "Bats don't do that!" he yelled at the bat. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here for Robin." The dark knight replied. The heroes exchanged looks of uncertainty.

"Where is he?" asked the dark Bat.

"Um… we thought you called him back to Gotham." Answered Superman.

"And what makes you think that?" Batman asked narrowing his eyes at the Boy Scout.

"Well he got a call on his cell and then he ran out with out a word." Kidflash was the one to speak up this time.

"I didn't call him to Gotham and if I had I would have called his com unit." Batman said

"Then who called him?" asked Zatanna

Batman's eyes widened and he ran to the zeta beams and left for the Bat cave. Leaving behind an even more confused Group of heroes.

The Bat cave:

Batman appeared in the Bat cave and he looked around for his ward. He was worried now. Dick never took calls for his secret ID when he was with the team unless it was really important. Since what whoever called Dick upset him enough to leave the mount with out saying good bye to anyone, it must have been something pretty bad.

When Batman couldn't find his ward in the Bat cave he quickly changer from his hero costume and became Bruce Wayne. He ran to the elevator and went up to the manor. The first place he checked or Dick was his bedroom, and sure enough he could here someone inside yelling at someone ells. He tried to open the door but it was locked so he waited out side trying, to hear what was happening in the room.

Dicks P.O.V.

"Your just another stranger to me!" he yelled into the phone, and then hung up. He yelled in frustration and flopped on the bed. "Why does everything have to happen to me?" he mumbled. There was a knock at the door. 'Bruce must be home.'

"Dick are you ok?" he heard Bruce's voice from out side the door. He didn't answer.

"Can I come in?" Dick thought for a moment before pulling himself off the bed, and walking over to the door. He opened it and tried his best to act like nothing was wrong.

"Hey Bruce what are you doing home so early?" Dick asked trying to hide the slight quiver in his voice. "Dick what's wrong?" Bruce asked not buying the act.

"What do you mean?" dick asked in fake confutation.

"I went to Mount Justice. I know what happened. Now come on what's going on?" Bruce Said hoping to get some answers.

Dick sighed and walked back to sit on his bed. He ran a hand through his hair and watched as his adoptive father come to sit next to him.

"Come on. You can tell me." Bruce spoke as he placed a hand on Dicks shoulder. "Who was that call from?"

Dick sighed again. "It was… it was from Mark."

Bruce's P.O.V.

Mark. Bruce had never met him, but Bruce hated him. He was the one who had completely abandoned Dick. He was the one who cased his little bird so much pain.

He tightens his hold on his son.

"What did he want?" Bruce said trying not to sound angry.

"Um… I don't exactly know. I kind of hung up on him before he got that far." Dick said looking down at his lap.

"Is that who you where yelling at?" Bruce asked.

Dick looked up at Bruce and then back to his lap. "yeah." He answered.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Bruce asked. Some where in side he hoped Dick would say no. he wasn't very good at the whole talking thing. Dick bobbed his head up and down as his answer. "It's just… why can't… and he…" Dick stuttered. "Why? Why did he ever leave me?" and with that he broke down in Bruce's arm, and the two of them just sat there the father comforting the son.
