81. Keepsake

Robin had a keepsake from his mother, a bracelet that he'd given to her as a birthday present. They were the last present he'd ever given her. So when Starfire's sixteenth birthday rolled around, he gave them to her, and even after they had a big break up, she still wore it.

82. Terror

Robin had known terror. The terror of losing his parents, knowing there was nothing he could do. His parents knew terror, living in the shadow of the Court of Owls, and now Ra's Al Ghul would live in terror, knowing that his plan would never succeed and that the Flying Graysons would be living long immortal lives fighting him.

83. Sorry

"Dick, it's two words, they're not that hard to say!"

"But Dad, I'm right this time! She's not listening to me!"

"Dick, if you don't apologize to Starfire, we're going to have to live with her being depressed for weeks, do you know how many time's she's made that awful pudding of hers?!"

"Fine, I'll apologize—" Robin conceded.

"And Dick, buy her favorite flowers and candy," John suggested.

"Why?"

"It always works on your mother."

84. Cars

Cyborg and John bonded over cars. John had never had a fancy car growing up on the road. The two of them would spend their time in the garage, when they weren't racing the T-car somewhere in the city.

85. Dance

Robin's mind spins, his mother dances across so many moral lines. She's kind and loving, yet hateful and murderous; she protects him yet murders her enemies. There's no side for her but her own, and that's what makes her so dangerous, and she wouldn't stop until she'd smashed the Court of Owls to dust. He'd just have to stop her first.

86. Service

John saw the man with his wife and their two sons. They looked like they were enjoying themselves.

"Could we bother you both for a picture, your wife and your son too?" a friendly voice asked.

"Of course, we'd love to."

"Joey, Grant, stand next to your father."

"All right, Addie, care to join me?" he asked.

Someone took their picture.

"You're in the service?" John asked.

"Yes, Lt. Col. Slade Wilson, SF," Slade replied.

"Special forces, huh, well thank you for your service." John saluted him.

Slade returned it. "You're welcome."

(I respect the servicemen, even if Slade is a fictional serviceman).

87. Blade

John Grayson feels the blade in his hand, it's heavy, but he can throw it easily. He aims and lets it loose, hitting the target in the bull's-eye.

"Well done John! Well done!" William Cobb congratulates his grandson.

Years later, he's holding another blade in his hands, and hopes it's enough to stop Ra's Al Ghul.

88. Brand

He gazes in horror at his father's upper shoulder. Burned into his skin is the symbol of an owl's head.

"They said I belonged to them, if they couldn't have you, they'd have me. I did what I had to do; I didn't want you or your mother to die, so I killed for you, so you wouldn't ever have to."

"They never owned you, Dad; you could have chosen to leave."

"You don't know how powerful these people are, son."

"I do, but they just shoved you into a box called "Destiny", and I'm going to break them all for good."

89. Talent

Talent was something Dick knew he had. It got Batman's attention, it got Joker's attention. It got Slade's attention and now the Court of Owls. Sometimes his talents bother him, but he sees the smiles of his friends and that thought vanishes.

90. Birthday

Robin smile and hands her a present. "Happy Birthday, Mom."

"It is a few days late, honey," she laughs.

"Couldn't help it, League of Assassins."

"Thank you Dick."

"You're welcome."
