Chapter Eighteen: Control


"Batman come in you're needed at the watch tower" announced Superman over the coms from the watch tower
"Hi Superman!" cried out Robin as he began waving at the screen where the blue scout was waiting.
"...Oh hi Robin, how are you?" Questioned Superman wondering where the Dark Knight was.
"Oh I'm good, what about you?"
"Uh it's nice of you to ask, I'm doing well actua-" Superman's sentence was pulled to a stop when the Batman walked down the stairs and into his Batcave to see his ward/son talking to a no good show off.
"Go away Clark, I don't have time to deal with you" Making up any lie to get away from the do-gooder.
"Batman there's a meeting, all original members of the Justice League have to be there" demanded Superman turning serious rather quickly especially for the man in blue.
"Cool! Can I come?" Asked Robin looking from the computer screen to Batman, pleading with his eye, even though their powers were slightly dampened from the mask he was wearing.
"No" Batman responded before he continued. "It's boring and you wouldn't enjoy any of it"
"Actually Robin why don't you wait outside the meeting for Batman, he'll need to be cheered up after the meeting" said Superman quickly making up an excuse to get the child to come.

Batman had been in a JL meeting for 2 hours and had only now finally come out.
"What do you guys talk about in there cause I'm pretty sure each of you told your life story" Robin happily complained, he was entitled to after all, he was the one who had been waiting outside the meeting room. Alone. For 2 hours. 
"Robin I'm going on a mission with Superman I may need you as backup later, be ready to come in at any moment" said Batman looking down at his ward and son, in silent consideration before nodding to himself. Dick could handle himself, Bruce had trained his son to manage and win any fight. He'd be fine. 

Later when Superman and Batman left and most of the other Leaguers went home or on their own missions. It'd been very boring waiting and waiting for Batman to return or ask for backup, but finally the call came in.
"Robin this is Batman I need backup at the docks, take zelta beam to platform 12" whispered Batman
"Got it Batman I'll be there" He quickly replied, Robin running towards the zelta beams and taking portal 12 to the docks. Robin arrived at the docks to find Batman and Superman fighting each other- something while he didn't approve of, he wasn't all that surprised to see. 
"Okay I know you too aren't the 'best' of friends but seriously, this is a mission" He cried, casually walking towards his mentor and Superman.
"Robin, Superman is bei..." Batman didn't get to finish as Superman aimed a punched straight at Batman's head, instantly Dick watched as his father-figure fell limp to the ground. 
Robin ran straight to Batman, desperation hoping that he was okay, that he would climb back onto his feet and give Superman the beating he now deserved. But was stopped by Superman, who picked him up by the collar of his shirt.
"Superman what are you doing!" Yelled Robin into the older's face, his hands reaching around the ones holding his uniform and began trying to peel them off. 

Batman slowly started to awaken, his eyes blinking at his surroundings, but before he was up Robin was thrown across the docks and into the metal wall of a warehouse by Superman, knocking the ten year old out.
Quickly Batman got up and started fighting Superman again,  never before had he wished that he had someone else on his side than right now, Robin- his son was unconscious. After a couple more hits and Batman was able to reach his pouch of Kryptonite, instantly weakening Superman and giving Batman the ability to easily take him down and out of being mind controlled.
"What happened" said a very confused voice as Superman slowly stood back up.
"You were put under mind control, Robin and I stopped you...Robin!" Yelled out Batman as he  quickly ran over to Robin and kneeled down to check on his ward. 

Robins pulse was slow as was his breathing.

"No" said Batman

"What's wrong, please tell me I didn't do that" Cried Superman referring to Robin who lay unconscious on the floor.

"You did" Replied Batman bitterly as he picked up Robin bridal style and disappeared into the night.

"I'm sorry"

Batman made his way back to the Batcave and arrived to a very shocked Alfred.
"BRUCE WAYNE this child is your ward and you are his guardian" yelled out Alfred as he panicked. "Alfred med bay please" pleaded Bruce weakly taking off his mask as he rushed to Alfred's side.
Alfred opened up the med bay and Bruce laid Robin down on it. His breathing had slowed down again and now Robin was hardly breathing.
"What happened to him sir" asked Alfred while placing an oxygen mask over Robin as Bruce took off Robin's mask.
"Superman threw him into a wall" said Bruce as he found a needle and pinned it into Richards skin and took some of Richards blood for a test, Dick's condition was falling weak far too quickly, something else was wrong.
"Sir he's steadying but his temperature is rising" said Alfred who had his hand on Richard's forehead. Bruce had put Richards blood in the test and something was off about his blood.

There were small green cells around Richard's blood cells. Kryptonite. Kryptonite was in Richard's blood. Bruce had seen this before and quickly found his cure for last time when Alfred had had kryptonite in his blood. Bruce put the cure in a needle and pinned it in Richard's skin.


4 Days Later

Bruce sat on the edge of Richard's bed as his ward lay resting. Richard hadn't woken up since the last needle and it was starting to worry Bruce, he started thinking that he might have grabbed the wrong cure and killed his son, that or put him in a incidental induced coma.
Bruce needed fresh air, he watched Richard for a couple minutes more then walked out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door.
Bruce sat down on the front steps of the manor and remembered when he first brought Richard here, how shocked Richard had been and also how Bruce had technically ignored Richard for the first month or so just so he could catch Tony Zucco. 

Ha had made so many mistakes with Dick in his first days at the manor, countless errors. His ward had just lost his parents, Dick needed emotional support- not revenge. Dick had grown up in a circus, surrounded nonstop by people who were loving and engaging with him every second of the day. To move from such a beautiful environment to Wayne Manor, a place of few residents and even less emotional support. 

Sometimes he truly doubted his actions. 
But taking in Dick, no matter his mistakes- would never by something he regretted.  

Bruce started walking back inside the manor when he heard a smash coming from Richard's room. Bruce ran up the stairs and burst through the door, to see Superman standing near the window facing Richard, who was awake and as Bruce looked to the ground the smash had come from Richard dropping the glass of water Bruce had gotten him earlier.
"S-sorry Bruce" said Richard in a dry voice.
"It's fine Richard, I'm just glad your awake" said Bruce quickly walking over to Richard's bed, sending a kind and caring look to Richard but a 'get the hell out of my house' glare to Superman.
"I'm sorry Bruce I'll leave, I hope you get better Richard and once again I am very sorry" said Superman before flying back out the window. Bruce turned back to Richard and smiled
"I'll call Alfred to clean up this mess"
"Yeah sorry, I just woke up and my throat was dry so I grabbed the water and then Superman came in and I just freaked" explained Richard also using his hands to show the story.
"Alfred" called Bruce. Richard could hear footsteps and then the door opened to Alfred
"Yes master Bruce, ah master Richard I'm so happy your awake and you look much better too" said Alfred
"Thanks Alf" replied Richard
"Alfred can you please clean this up" asked Bruce
"Sure thing master Bruce.
