O brother chapter 6

Wayne manor

Dicks P.O.V.

It was almost 12:30 so Mark should be here soon.

Alfred had spent all day cleaning up the manor (not that it really needed it) and was now making lunch. Bruce was in his study finishing a conference call. He had arranged it so that he could be home when Mark came.

Dick walked around his room not really sure what to do. He was feeling a strange mixture of excitement and nervousness.

What was he supposed to say to mark when he got here?

Will he want to talk about their parents?

Would he like Bruce?

Wait, would Bruce like him?

Will I like him?

Then another thought entered his mind.

"What about Robin?" he wondered out loud.

Am I supposed to tell him, or should I keep it a secret?

No I should wait. But what if he finds out? What do I do then?

"I don't know what the protocol is for this?!"

By now dick had worked him self in to such a panic he almost didn't hear the door bell ring. "He's here!"

He rushed out of his room and ran down the stairs over to the door, and then he paused.

Now a frightening thought came to him.

What if he doesn't like me?

"Master Richard I believe that to be your brother would you like me to get it or would you?"

Alfred asked as he emerged from the kitchen.

"No I'll get it Alfred." Dick said. He looked at the door took a deep breath, and opened the door.

Marks P.O.V.

Mark tried his best not to show it, but he was freaking out! He was in his car driving to the address dick had texted to him last night.

He couldn't stop thinking about how much Dick must have changed. Last time he saw Dick he was seven years old, and wasn't that great at speaking English. When Mark had talked to him on the phone he couldn't even here an accent, and his brother spoke in perfect English.

Dick must be thirteen years old now. It hurt him to think about just how much of his little brother's life he missed. He really wished he could have been there for him, but it's not like he had a choice.

Then he thought of something he hadn't thought of before.

What was he supposed to tell Dick when he asks why he's been gone all this time?

He couldn't tell him the truth, well not the whole truth. If Dick knew about the mess he was in he didn't want to think about it. He couldn't even count all the ways that that would be bad, for both him and Dick.

He didn't like the mess he was in, but there wasn't anything he could do to change it.

He pulled up to the house that the directions had led him to. He just sat there for a moment and marveled at the house, no mansion in front of him. He new that Dick had been adopted by Bruce Wayne, one of the richest people he knew of, but this house was really big.

He took a deep breath and got out of his car and walked up to the door. He knocked on the big oak door and waited. He heard someone talking on the other side of the door, and then it opened.

They both stood there for a moment just looking at each other.

Dick had grown a lot since he was seven, and Mark could see that he had a lot more muscle.

His skin looked a little pail, witched made his dark hair look even darker.

Dick barley recognized Mark. He was maybe around six feet talk, had black hair, and bright green eyes.

"Mark?" Dick said as he looked at his older brother.

"Hey Dick." Mark smiled at his little brother.

"So you must be Mr. Grayson." Alfred said from behind Dick.

"Yes I am. And you are?" Mark asked extending his had to the butler

"I am Alfred Pennyworth. The butler." Alfred introduced himself and shook Marks had. "Now if you'll excuse me I will go finish up lunch." Alfred said as he walked back to the kitchen.

"So would you like to come in?" dick asked. 'Stupid question of course he wants to come in that's why he's here.' Dick thought mentally face palming.

"Yeah thanks." Mark said as he walked inside. The house only seemed to get bigger on the inside.

"Wow!" Mark said

"Yeah I know. Pretty big isn't it?" Dick said as he closed the door.

"So… would you like a tour?" Dick asked looking up to meet Mark's eyes.

"I would love a tour." Mark said with a smile.

It had been maybe an hour since Dick had started the tour. Mark couldn't believe how big this house was!

"And this is the work out room or what ever you want to call it." Dick said snapping Mark out of his thoughts. The work out room was big and filled with many different workout equipment. His attention was drawn to the gymnastics equipment on the left side of the room.

"So you still do gymnastics?" Mark asked as ran a hand over the equipment.

"Yeah I do. I won first place in the last school competition." Dick said with a smile on his face.

"Wow that's great Dick!" Mark said

"Do you still do gymnastics?" Dick asked

"A little bit not as much I would like."

"Um Mark?

"Yeah?" Mark asked looking to his brother.

"I was wondering. Why did you leave the circus six years ago?"

Mark's face fell. That was the question he was hoping to avoid.

"Well…" mark started but was interrupted by Alfred.

"Lunch is ready master Dick, Mr. Mark."

"Thanks Alfred. Well be right there." Dick said. When Alfred left the room he looked back to Mark.

"Well?" he asked trying not to sound inpatient.

"Why don't we talk about it after lunch?" Mark said fallowing after Alfred.

'Man so close!' Dick thought and followed Mark.

Dick and Mark sat at the dining room table eating lunch.

On the table were a salad, mashed potatoes, and a roast. They didn't usually have that sort of stuff for lunch but Dick knew Alfred made it because Mark was here.

"This is amazing Alfred!" Mark said as he stuffed his face with the amazing roast.

"Thank you very much Mr. Mark." As he refilled Marks glass of water. "Master Bruce's call should be done by now. I will go get him." Alfred said as he walked from the room.

"Thanks Alfred." Dick said with a smile.

Dick knew that Alfred was just trying to give him and Mark a moment to talk. He made a mental note to thank the old butler.

"So how have you been?" Mark asked turning his attention to Dick.

"Ok I guess." Dick said. 'Man this is awkward!' he thought to himself.

"How is school?" Mark asked trying to start up a conversation.

"it's fine. But I want to know about you." Dick said as he looked up to Mark.

"What do you want to know?" Mark asked setting down his fork.

"I want to know why you left."

Mark sat quietly for a moment.

"I… I just got tiered."

"Tiered of what?" dick asked. He could see that mark was getting unutterable, but he's been waiting for six years to hear this explanation and he was going to get it!

"Tiered of all the jokes I guess, and all the stress of having to get every detail of the act right or ells someone could die."

Dick visibly flinched and Mark realized what he had said.

"Dick, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for leaving. If I had known what was going to happen I would have never left."

Dick thought for a moment and was about to respond when Bruce walked in.

"Oh am I interrupting something?" he asked when he saw the two brothers sitting there looking at each other.

"Um no your fine." Dick said looking at his adopted father.

Bruce and dick had a quick silent conversation, something they had picked up, and Bruce got the message. Dick didn't want him to pry.

"So you must be mark." Bruce said walking up to Mark. "Yes I am." Mark said as he stood to shake Bruce's hand. "It's nice to meet you Mark." Bruce said and shook Mark's hand.

"Well I hate to be the bringer of bad news and I'd love to get to know you mark, but I got a call from your friends dick. It turns out that you need to help with some sort of school project." Bruce said making sure that Dick got the meaning.

"O that's right I forgot all about that!" dick said playing along.

"Well I can come back latter." Mark said

"That would be good. We still have a lot to talk about." Dick said looking Mark dead in the eye.

In the bat cave:

"You have got to be kidding me Batman! I finally find my brother and you have to drag me out on some mission!" Dick now Robin yelled at his mentor.

"I'm sorry Robin. I didn't want to, but the team needs your expertise on this mission." Batman said as he walked over to the zeta beams.

"Could you at least tell me what this mission is?"

Then the zeta beam light up as the cave announced Batman's departure, leaving Robin all alone in an empty cave.

"Or not." He said to himself and walked through the zeta beam.

Mount justice:

"Recognized batman 01 recognized Robin B-01." Announced the computer.

"Team report for mission briefing." Batman's voice came over the mounts speakers.

Wally jumped from the couch startling the others.

"Finally a mission!" he shouted and run from the room at lightning speed, the team following behind him. All with exited faces.

They entered the main room of mount justice to find Batman and Robin waiting for them.

The team gathered in front of Batman and waited for him to brief them.

"Team this is a recon mission. Get in get the information and get out. You missions target is located in Gotham on the north side."

Batman paused to pull up a picture of what appeared to be a factory on the computer screen.

"This is an old toy factory. It is abandoned making it a prime spot for drug dealers and other criminals. We believe that a group called the tiger claw are using this location as there base of operations. I want you to infiltrate the factory find any information about their plans, and bring it back to me. Remember this is a covert mission, so stay out of sight. You leave at ten o clock tonight. I advise that you use the rest of the day to prepare."

And with that batman turned at left the mount through the zeta beams.

"Yes!" Wally shouted as soon as Batman was gone.

"It has been way to long since we had a mission and if we didn't get one soon I thought I was going to explode!" he said as the team walked to the training room to prep for that nights mission.

Little did Robin know that this mission would shake his already thin relationship with his brother.
