Dick slowly opened his eyes. His head was pounding and his vision was fuzzy at first, but they finally cleared and he raised his head and looked around the room.

As he looked around, he saw that he was tied to a chair in a mall room. There wasn't much in the room, a bed, a small TV, a small dresser, and one small window.

Dick sighed, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and snickered. 'Funny This whole thing started with me tied to a chair in a warehouse. I guess it's only right that it ends this way too. At least Barbra and Bruce will be left alone now.'

The door to the room opened and Dick raised his head to see Steve walk through. "So, you're finally awake." Dick knew it was useless to try and talk back with tape over his mouth, so he just settled for glaring at him instead. "I wonder what's on the news this morning. Let's find out, shall we?" Steve said with a smirk.

The TV came on and Dick turned to watch. He saw the same reporter that did the story on the day Bruce was shot in the park.

"This is Sally Pennet coming to you live at Gotham Memorial Hospital. We learned that Bruce Wayne, who was shot in the park just a few days ago, was shot again just last night. It was also learned that Dick Grayson, Bruce's adopted son, was kidnapped as well. It is believed that the shooter came in, shot Bruce, and then Took Dick as a hostage."

"Well, she don't have her facts straight does she," Steve said. Dick just glared at him then turned back to continue listening to the report.

"No news on Bruce has been revieled yet, and... Oh, wait. It's the Commissioner. Commissioner Gordon!" Sally yelled as she and the cameraman ran toward Gordon, who was just coming out of the hospital. "Commissioner, it is said that you and Bruce are friends. Do you know how he is?"

"The Commissioner is busy," another officer said. "He doesn't..."

"It's alright," Gordon said. The other officer nodded and backed up. "Yes, Bruce and I were close friends. His son and my daughter go to the same school and are close as well."

"Excuse me, Commissioner," Sally interrupted, "but did you just say 'were?' As in past tense? Does that mean Bruce didn't make it?"

Dick's eyes went wide and his heart began to pound in his ears. 'No, he can't be.'

"The doctors did everything they could, but yes, Bruce passed away earlier this morning," Gordon stated sadly.

Sally stood there stunned and unable to speak. "Commissioner," the other officer said.

"Yes, of course," Gordon said to the officer. He then turned back to Sally. "I'm sorry, Miss Pennet, but I have a killer and kidnapper to find." He then left with the other officer following behind.

Sally just stood there, watching Gordon leave, speechless. "Uh, Sally?" the cameraman whispered.

Sally quickly turned to the camera. "This has been Sally Pennet..."

Steve turned off the TV. "Well, well, looks like I finally managed to get him. I killed the one and only Batman. Ha, not even Joker could do that," he said as he walked toward the door to leave the room.

Tears fell down Dick's face as he stared at the blank TV screen. After he heard Steve's comment, he turned and glared at Steve angrily until he disappeared from his sight. 'That jerk!'

YJYJYJYJYJYJYJ

"I can't believe he's really gone," Sally said with tears in her eyes.

Barbra was staring out the window listening to them. Tears ran down her cheeks during the entire interview. After her dad told the reporter about Bruce, the tears hadn't stopped. 'Dick.'

"Miss Gordon?" Alfred asked as he walked into the room.

Barbra wiped away the tears as she turned to face him. "Alfred, why is this happening?" Alfred just stood there sadly. "Why? First Dick, now Bruce?"

"I don't know, but we will find Master Dick, I promise," Alfred said as he walked up to her.

Once he got close enough, Barbra rushed into his arms and she no longer tried to hold back the tears.

After about ten minutes, Barbra finally got her crying under control. She stepped back over to the window and stared out quietly.

"Miss Gordon, please don't..." Alfred began.

"I want to help," Barbra interrupted.

Alfred looked at her confused. "How do you mean?"

Barbra turned back to him and looked at him with a serious face. "I want to help Dick. I want to save him from Steve and put that jerk away forever." Alfred could sense her anger. "I want him to pay for everything he's done."

Alfred just smiled. "I believe I have an idea."

Barbra looked at him confused.

YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ

Barbra looked around the room she was in and stared in awe. "This is amazing!"

"Indeed it is, and very hard to keep clean," Alfred replied.

"Bruce and Dick come down here all the time?" Barbra asked as she walked up to the giant computer.

"Yes, although sometimes it's very hard to get Master Bruce to go back up to normal life."

"So where are the Bat-suit and Robin suit?"

Alfred walked over to a part of the wall and punched a code into the key pad that blended perfectly into the wall. A door opened and the Bat-suit and Robin suit came into view.

Barbra walked up to them and placed her hand on the glass that was protecting them and just stared at the Robin suit. "So it really is true." Alfred just stared at her confused. "He really is the Dark Knight's partner."

"Of course," Alfred answered still confused. "I thought Master Dick told you that?"

Barbra turned to him and smiled. "Well, it was Steve that told me Dick was Robin; Dick just confirmed it. Like I told him, I always suspected he was, but this," she said as she looked back at the suits, "proves without a doubt that it's true." She was silent for a few second as she stared at the Robin suit. "I have to find him, Alfred."

"Why do you think I brought you here?" Alfred asked as he walked toward the computer.

Barbra turned around confused. "Huh?" she asked as she followed him.

Alfred started pressing a few buttons on the keyboard. "Did you see Master Dick pick up a small book with two pictures in it?"

Barbra thought about it. "Uhhh... Wait," she exclaimed. "I did notice a small object he placed in his pocket, but when I asked him what it was, all he said was that it was something very special that Bruce gave him."

Alfred smiled and continued to type. "That book holds two photos, one of him and his parents and one of him, Master Bruce, and me. Ever since Master Bruce gave it to him, he hardly ever leaves it at home, except when he's out on patrol."

Barbra just continued to watch what he was doing. "I see... but what does that have to do with finding him?" she asked still confused.

"Master Bruce is always hiding secret trackers in Master Dick's things," Alfred explained.

Barbra's eyes went wide and a smile crossed her face. "And he put one in that book!" Alfred smiled and nodded. "So we should be able to track Dick because he put it in his pocket!" she exclaimed.

"Exactly, that is, if Steve didn't already dispose of it," Alfred said a bit worried.

"Wait, doesn't that make dick angry? That Bruce places the devices on him, I mean?" Barbra asked. "I know I would be if my dad did that."

"It does, and Master Bruce has cut back on it, but he is constantly worrying about him."

"He doesn't want anything to happen to him," Barbra reasoned. Alfred just nodded.

After another minute of typing and pressing buttons, a small blinking dot appeared on the screen. "Ah, thank heavens it's still on him," Alfred said in relief.

"But what if Steve found it and disposed of it without destroying it?" Barbra asked.

"That very well could be, but it's the only thing we have to go on," Alfred explained.

Barbra stared at the blinking dot. "Dick," she said quietly. She then turned and headed for the elevator.

"Miss Gordon, where are you going?" Alfred asked.

"I'm getting Dick back," she replied not stopping to look at him.

"Do you intend to go there unarmed?" Alfred asked, not making one move to stop her.

Barbra stopped and turned to look at him. "What do you mean?"

Alfred just smiled.
