Gordon sat starring horrified at Alfred as he told the story. He just couldn't believe that Bruce would beat him and threaten to kill him. "When did this all start?"

"About a month after Master Dick arrived," Alfred said sadly.

"Almost two years?" Gordon asked even more surprised. "Why didn't you say anything before then?"

"I was hoping Master Bruce would stop it himself."

"Well, it doesn't look like that happened."

"No," Alfred said and lowered his head. "I should've called sooner, but I was afraid."

"Afraid of what?" Alfred just looked up at Dick, but neither one of them answered. "Alfred, what are you so afraid of?"

Dick looked at him, pleading for him to say it. "Please, Alfred." Gordon just looked back and forth between the two of them. "Maybe they can help him."

Alfred sighed then looked at Gordon. "Two years ago, before Master Bruce took Master Dick in, he was out on patrol in the city."

"Patrol? What do you mean?" Gordon asked confused.

"Master Bruce is Batman."

Gordon's eyes went wide. "What?"

"When his parents died, Master Bruce swore to avenge their deaths. He trained himself, learning every martial art there is, studying harder, and building himself up every day. One night, he was out on patrol and he came across Two Face. I don't know what happened to him or how, but after that he started to become more violent, more aggressive. When he took Master Dick in, I thought he was trying to change, but a month later, he started hitting him." Alfred closed his eyes as he remembered the first time he saw it. "It was so unexpected. I never thought he would do something like that."

"What happened?" Gordon asked trying to get the whole story. Dick also paid close attention to learn the answer as well.

"He and Master Dick were just watching a movie in the living room. Master Dick asked him a question about how he hurt his arm, and the next thing I know, Master Bruce was hitting him." Tears started welling up in his eyes. "I ran over and tried to stop him, but he just ended up hitting me then walking to his study. Master Dick had a black eye and a fat lip. We didn't see him for the rest of the night. About a week later, Master Dick found the Batcave."

"You mean it's here at the manor?" Gordon asked.

"Under it actually, but yes. Master Bruce wasn't happy that Master Dick found the cave. I searched everywhere for the young Master, but I couldn't find him anywhere. Finally I checked the cave. I wasn't expecting to find him there, but sadly I did. He was in a corner huddled up in a ball crying. Master Bruce was just sitting at the computer, not even paying him any heed. I went over to find out what was wrong, but when he looked up at me I saw that blood was running down from his nose and mouth and that he was cradling his left arm."

Gordon stood up slightly angry. "I want to see the cave."

"You can't go down there. He'll kill you," Dick said afraid for Gordon's life.

"I'm a cop son, I can handle myself."

"Even the Batman?" Alfred asked.

"I'll manage," Gordon replied.

Alfred looked at Dick then stood up. "Follow me."

"Alfred, don't," Dick pleaded. "He'll kill him!"

Alfred just ignored him and walked out of the room, Gordon following. They walked down the stairs, through the study, and up to the old grandfather clock. Gordon watched amazed when Alfred pulled one of the strings and the clock moved. He saw an elevator with a bat on it then followed Alfred in. "All these years and I've always been two feet away from it."

When the door opened, Gordon gasped. He couldn't believe how big the cave was, and all the stuff around it. "Master Bruce isn't in at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be back soon."

Gordon nodded and walked to the computer and sat down. "This where he keeps all his information?"

"Yes, Sir."

Gordon looked over it then turned to Alfred. "I am confiscating this and every piece of evidence he has in here."

Alfred looked at him sadly. "Of course."

Right then, they both heard what sounded like a car coming down a hallway. Gordon stood up and went to the ledge. The Batmobile drove in and parked on a round platform, and Batman jumped out. He walked right up to the pole, but he didn't expect to see Gordon standing there. "Jim?" He then looked at Alfred and glared at him.

"Bat... Bruce, you're under arrest," Gordon said sternly.

Bruce just pushed him out of the way and walked to the computer and sat down. "For what?"

"Abuse and interfering with police business."

Bruce stopped and turned towards him angrily. "I've helped you more times than anyone can count. You thanked me yourself and said that you couldn't handle some of those time alone, and you have the gull to come into my home and arrest me! You have no evidence that I am abusing anyone!"

"Then what about that abused and battered child upstairs?" Gordon asked sternly.

"You can't prove that I did that!"

"I have witnesses."

Batman was about to charge at the man in anger, but swayed and fell to the ground unconscious. Gordon looked shocked at Bruce's form on the ground then looked up to Alfred who was holding some kind of gun. "A tranquilizer gun. Master Bruce never knew I had one. I got it a few months ago in case his temper ever got out of hand."

"Good work," Gordon said as he walked towards Bruce's form.

He and Alfred got Bruce into the elevator and up to the living room. Gordon cuffed Bruce's hands behind his back and laid him on the couch before he called for a squad car to come and pick him up. He then went back up to Dick's room.

Dick looked up and was happy to see that Gordon was alright. "He didn't kill you?"

Gordon smiled. "No, but he tried. Alfred shot him with a tranquilizer gun before he could lay a hand on me."

Dick looked over to Alfred surprised. "You had a gun in the house?"

"Master Bruce didn't know about it," Alfred replied with a smile.

Gordon knelt down in front of Dick. "Dick, where going to take you to the hospital to check you over then we're going to find you a good home, I promise."

Dick looked at him sadly. "You're gonna make me leave Alfred?"

Alfred chuckled. "It's alright, Master Dick. You deserve to be with a family that loves you. I would love to take care of you, but I think you would do better if you had a mom and a dad."

Dick looked away sadly then back at Alfred alarmed. "How am I gonna get back?"

Gordon looked at him confused. "Back?"

"How have you done it before?" Alfred asked.

"What are you talking about?" Gordon asked again.

"I don't know. One minute I am in one dimension, the next I'm in the other."

"Dimension?" Gordon was getting really confused now. "What are you two talking about?"

Both Alfred and Dick looked at Gordon. "Master Dick has been jumping to a different dimension. This is not the Dick Grayson from our dimension."

"Wait, so he's not the one getting abused?"

"Yes, he is. While he has been in this dimension, Master Bruce has beat him. The Dick Grayson from our dimension has also been abused by our Bruce Wayne these past couple of days as well, but this one has got it the most."

"So how did this even happen in the first place?" Gordon asked trying to comprehend everything.

"I got hit by a portal gun. I don't know how he got exposed if he even was," Dick said. "But it seems that every time we switch, we're always in the same place. If you take me away now, I may never get back to my own dimension."
