I can't believe its been 10 chapters already. Also, this chapter might not make sense but the underlined italicized  parts is basically what the trigger did. Then the bold is a flashback. Enjoy the chapter! -KA

Location: N/A
POV: 3rd Person POV
Subject: The Trigger

  The trigger, when pressed, activates a small alien, which it's embryo was injected into Dick when he and Slade were creating future plans in that abandoned Puppet factory. It was Dick's idea-the idea to hijack the Injustice League's hide out and gain the small alien. Slade still regrets the idea-the idea he didn't understand completely.

  When the trigger was pressed, like said before, the alien-a species called Skein-awakened and injected a chemical, which put Dick in a coma state (the Lazarus Pit is the only thing that can revive him). But Slade didn't know that, only Dick did.

  "When-if you press the trigger, leave me there and go. Save yourself. Because I'll beat your ass into Arkam myself if I see you captured." He reached out and put a reassuring hand on his lover's shoulder.

"I'll be alright, Slade." He whispered softly, "Trust me."

    And he did, he trusted him to be safe.

   Slade never did understand completely. And he hated it, hated not knowing enough.

"T"

  
   "Hey Slade," His little birdy chirped. His voice echoing in the abandoned skate rink.

"Yes, Dicky?"

"Do you still think about him?"

  I thought for a moment, sure I still thought of him, who wouldn't think about their dead son.

"Sometimes, Grayson. Sometimes."

   He looked at me and nodded, "good." And he left it at that.

"R"

     I pressed the trigger. The team looked at the falling body of their ex-teammate. I bowed my head and dropped the button. It banged on the cement floor of the warehouse.

  Despite my emotionless facade, inside I was crumbling. I killed my love. My bird. My Ren. What did he hope to accomplish with this? He didnt tell me what it did. Why did I trust him?

'Because you're his lover.' A part of me argued.

'were' I thought back.

   Batman rushed over to the body of his ward and gripped him by the arms, tightly. He leaned his head down towards my love's chest, right over his heart.

Bahdump-Bahdump-Bahdump

   If you learned closely you could hear the quiet heartbeat. I almost cried with joy, almost. I walked quickly and swiftly towards Dick and lowered myself next to him. Making sure, I put two fingers agaisnt his throat, looking for a pulse. I found it.

   Batman hardly acknowledged me, that is till he roughly grabbed and punched me in the face, hard. The team was still frozen in shock. They may have heard the heartbeat but they still comprehend the near-death experience. As bats was just about to punch me again, I swiftly dodged and ran out of there, hesitantly.

   "When-if you press the trigger, leave me there and leave. Save yourself. Because I'll beat your ass into Arkam myself if I see you captured." He reached out and put a reassuring hand on his lover's shoulder.

"I'll be alright, Slade." He whispered softly, "Trust me."

With sounds of protest behind me, I left with a hallowed heart.

  I shook my head, "you knew all along. Didn't you, My Little Robin."

"I knew I should tell you, but I couldn't bring myself to do it."
