Superman and Gordon went over to Bruce's side. "The ambulance is on their way," Gordon said.

"Thank you," Alfred said. Gordon just nodded then walked over to a few of the reporters.

Bruce was lying there gasping for air. He grabbed the front of Superman's suit and pulled him close so he could talk in Superman's ear. "Wh... where's... Dick?"

Superman chuckled. "Nothing gets past you. He called me, said you were in trouble and basically ordered me to get over here, but I did find out what city he's in." Bruce just listened. "He'd in Blϋdhaven. I sent him a message by the camera crew, so hopefully when I fly over the city I'll hear him."

"F... find... him," Bruce gasped out then went into a coughing fit.

Alfred whipped the blood off Bruce's mouth as best he could, then turned his head when he heard the ambulance coming. "Go find Master Dick and Miss Barbra. I'll stay with Master Bruce," Alfred said after he looked back to Superman.

Superman nodded then turned back to Bruce. "I'll find him." He then jumped into the air and flew off.

It took Superman ten minutes to get to Blϋdhaven. He made sure to focus his hearing so he could hear Dick's voice. "Come on, Dick, make some noise."

"Mom, mommy, can we go to the park?"

"Sasha, baby, please let me in. I'm sorry. That other girl meant nothing."

"Tommy, get back here this instant!"

"Do you really think he'll find us?" Superman stopped and listened closer to the conversation.

"Of course, Barbra, he's Superman."

"Got'cha. Keep talking, Dick, I'm almost there," Superman said as he tried to follow Dick and Barbra's voices.

Dick walked out to the hall and over to the window. Barbra followed. They both stared out the window in silence until Barbra spoked. "But Blϋdhaven is..."

"It's not that big," Dick interrupted, "and it looks like we're more on the edge of town. Super..." Dick stopped when he saw something in the distance.

"What? What's wrong? Is Steve here?" Barbra asked getting worried.

"No. I see him. Superman, over here!"

Barbra looked out the window and saw a small dot floating in the sky. "How'd you see him? He's gotta be on the other side of the city."

"I'm use to it. Whenever he says he's comin' over, I'd always go to the roof of the mansion and watch for him," Dick replied.

They saw the small dot get closer and turn into the Man of Steel. "Dick, Barbra, are you ok?" Superman asked when he got to the window.

"Yeah, but how's Bruce?" Dick asked.

"Alfred was with him and the ambulance was just arriving when I left. He was in pretty bad shape, but he's strong."

Dick looked down sadly. "This is all my fault."

"Dick..." Superman tried, but Dick stopped him.

"No," Dick said angrily, "if I had just stayed with Steve and Sarah and not gone with KF, then..."

"Then you'd be dead," Barbra finished for him also getting angry. Dick looked at her a bit surprised. "Gosh dang it, Dick. Do you even hear yourself? You want to stay with that psycho?"

Dick started backing up away from Barbra. "No, but if I did you and Bruce..."

"Me and Bruce what?" Barbra asked as she followed him back. Superman just stood by the window and watched the two. "We'd be safe? Is that what you were going to say? Well think again, Mister! You know as well as I do that Bruce wouldn't rest until he found you until he passed out from exhaustion. Alfred would have to strap him down and sedate him just to make him sleep, and as for me, you'd worry me to death. After my father said Steve was beating you, I almost went out and looked for you myself. The only reason I didn't was because dad said you ran away from the station. You had me worried sick!"

Dick hit the wall and stared into Barbra's face. He could see a mix of sadness, anger, and hurt. "Babs, I'm sorry. I..." He looked away from her. He couldn't figure out how to respond to that.

Barbra just watched him. After he said nothing, Barbra slapped Dick across the face. Dick fell to the ground then looked up at an angry Barbra very surprised. "That's for being so stupid to even think about regretting leaving Steve." She then knelt down in front of him. "And this is for coming back to us," she said all anger gone from her voice. She took his face into both of her hands and kissed him right on the lips, causing Dick's eyes to go even wider in surprise.

Superman started walking toward them when Barbra slapped Dick so he could stop Barbra from doing it again, but froze when he saw her kiss Dick.

Both Dick and Barbra closed their eyes, wrapped their arms around each other, and deepened the kiss.

Superman stood there wide eyed and speechless as he watched the kiss deepen. After another few minutes, he cleared his throat hoping that it would break them up.

Barbra broke off the kiss and both she and Dick opened their eyes and stared at each other. "See, you get rewarded for doing the smart things," Barbra said with a smile.

Dick smiled back. "I'll have to remember that." They then both stood up and faced Superman.

"Are you ready to leave?" Superman asked.

Dick went a little red at the thought of his favorite uncle watching him kiss Barbra. "Yeah."

"You are going to take us to see Bruce, right?" Barbra asked.

"I was going to drop you off at your dad's and Dick off at the mansion."

"Yeah, I don't think I want to go to the hospital in boxers and a coat," Dick said to Barbra.

Barbra looked from dick back to Superman. "I want to go to the hospital with Dick."

"Your dad's worried about you," Superman said.

"He's probably at the hospital with Bruce," Dick said.

"Yeah, dad is really good friends with Bruce," Barbra agreed.

Superman sighed. "Ok, then let's get going."

They all walked to the window. Superman went out first then held out his hands and put Dick on his back and carried Barbra bridle style. "Hold on," he said then flew back toward Gotham.

YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ

Superman landed by the front door of the hospital and sat Barbra down then crouched down so Dick could climb off his back. "This is the hospital they took Bruce to," Superman told them.

"How'd you know?" Barbra asked.

"I heard them say which hospital they were taking him too before I got too far away."

"Oh," Barbra replied.

"Well, I have to get back to Metropolis."

Dick ran up to Superman and jumped in his arms and hugged him. "Thanks, Clark," Dick whispered.

Superman smiled and hugged him back. "You're welcome, Dick." He then sat Dick back on the ground and flew off.

Once Superman was out of sight, Dick and Barbra walked into the hospital and up to the front desk. "My name is Dick Grayson. I'm looking for Bruce Wayne."

The receptionist typed on the computer then looked back at Dick. "Mr. Wayne is still in surgery. The waiting room is down the hall and to the right." She then looked to Barbra. "Miss Gordon, you should see your father there."

"Thank you," Barbra said then she and Dick walked to the waiting room.

"Barbra!" Gordon said when he saw the two walked in the room.

"Master Dick. Thank heavens you're alright," Alfred also said when the two walked in.

Barbra ran up to her dad and almost knocked him over while Dick just quickly walked up to Alfred.

Gordon pushed Barbra out at arms' length and looked her up and down. "Are you alright?"

"I'll be fine, dad. How's Bruce doing?" Barbra asked.

All four of them sat down. "I don't know. We haven't heard anything yet," Gordon replied.

"All we know is that he had stopped breathing when he got here," Alfred added.

Dick's eyes went wide in fear. "But since they haven't told us anything yet, it's a good sign that he's still alive," Gordon added quickly.

Dick sighed and looked down at his hands. Barbra placed a hand on Dick's shoulder. "He's strong. He'll pull through this, 'cause I'm sure he knows that you'd kick his butt if he didn't," she said with a smile hoping that would cheer him up.

Dick smiled back and laughed a bit and looked up at her. "Thanks."

Barbra took Dick's hand. "Hey, what are friends for?"

Dick squeezed her hand and sat back, never letting go of her hand.

The officers that took Steve away thought it would be better if they took him to the hospital before they took him to prison, so now they were standing one outside the room and one inside the room while the doctor put a cast on Steve's broken arm.

"There we are. All done. Now I'll just go get the papers and some pain medication in case he needs it," the doctor told the officer in the room. The officer nodded and the doctor left the room.

Steve continued to sit on the bed repositioning the sling. He stared at the two officers then glanced around to see if there was anything he could use to help him escape. 'I have to get out of here and get back to my Barbra.'

There wasn't much in the room, but he did see a bed pan at the end of the bed. He reached over for it and picked it up then began looking at it like he was inspecting it.

The officer in the room took a few steps forward and that gave Steve the opportunity he need. Steve swung the bed pan as hard as he could at the officer's head and knocked the officer out.

Steve checked to make sure the officer was out then looked up at the officer outside of the room. That officer hadn't noticed what just happened and Steve smiled. 'Now to take care of the other officer.' He got up and sat the bed pan on a table next to the door then knocked on the window on the door. "Hey, copper, your pal's in trouble."

The officer turned and saw his partner on the ground, opened the door, and went over ot check on his partner. Steve grabbed the bed pan from the table and sung it as hard as he could at the officer's head.

The officer turned around to ask Steve what happened, but all he saw was the bed pan flying toward his face. The bed pan hit and made the officer fall back onto his partner unconscious.

Steve smiled. "That's gonna hurt when you wake up." He then dropped the bed pan next to the two unconscious officers and walked out the door.

He walked down the hall to the entrance and looked in a few of the rooms as he passed them, but what he saw in one of the rooms made him go back for another look. What he saw both surprised him and made him very angry. Dick and Barbra were sitting there talking, but what really made him mad was seeing Dick holding Barbra's hand.

Steve turned around and continued to the entrance. 'How did they even get out? Dick was tied up with zip ties and Barbra with handcuffs. There is no way they could've gotten out on their own.' Steve threw the door open hard and walked out of the hospital. "I'm gonna kill that boy."

YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ

The doctor returned to the room to find the two officers unconscious. He checked to make sure that they were ok, but before he could, he saw them stirring and start to wake up. "Are you two alright?" the doctor asked when they officers were fully conscious.

The two stood up, looked around, then looked at each other. "He's gone," one of them said.

"We have to tell the commissioner," the other said then they both left leaving the doctor standing there in the room alone.

The two ran down the hall and burst into the waiting room where Gordon was. Dick and Barbra both jumped at the sudden entrance.

Gordon stood up and walked toward the two officers. "Brian, Jarod, what are you doing here? You two are supposed to be escorting Steve Savage to prison."

The two officers looked at each other then back at Gordon nervously. "Well, Sir, you see..." Brian began.

"We brought him here to get his arm casted, and..." Jarod tried to continue.

"You brought him here?" Dick asked as he jumped out of his seat interrupting Jarod. "Are you stupid? Bruce is here!"

"Dick, calm down," Gordon said. He then turned back to the two officers. "Follow me," he said then walked toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Alfred asked.

"To make sure he's not trying to finish what he started," Gordon answered not stopping or turning around. He and the two officers then left the room.

"Well, those two are gonna get a stern talkin' to tomorrow," Barbra said as she sat back down. "Dick, sit down. Bruce'll be fine." Dick just stared at the door. Barbra sighed. "Dick," she said as she took his hand and pulled him until he sat down. She then used her hand to turn his head so he was looking at her. "He'll be fine."

Before dick could reply, the door opened and a doctor wearing a surgical outfit walked in. "Alfred Pennyworth?"

Alfred stood up and walked toward the doctor. Barbra could feel dick tense up. "I'm Alfred."

"I'm Dr. Stanburg. I was performing the surgery on Mr. Wayne."

"How is he, Doctor?" Alfred asked.

"He's out of surgery and everything went great, but..." Dick paled slightly at that word, "...I'm afraid Mr. Wayne is now in a coma."
