BRUCE WAYNE'S POINT OF VIEW'

"Okay. This is what we will be doing: The Justice League members, minus me, will go in last. Nightwing's old team will go second, and the Batfamily will be going in first. Any questions?" I asked. A few minutes ago I realised that we would need to travel into Dick's memories to find out what was wrong with him. Everybody shook their heads.

"Good. Then let's get going. Martian Manhunter send us into his mind." Jason, Tim, Damian, and I lay down on the beds surrounding us and we closed our eyes and opened our minds.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a hallway with my sons and Martian Manhunter. Manhunter looked distressed and pointed to a doorway.

"Some of his pain is coming from there." we walked through it and what I saw hurt my heart more than Dick getting sold as a slave.

'In the memory.'

"Dickie my little bird, it's time for your appointment." a beautiful woman said. She had a voice like silk and looked like an angel. Dick looked scared and I knew this couldn't be good, but he also hid it well behind a mask of anger. I also knew that this was at the beginning of his kidnapping.

"What do you want mommy to do today? Do you want to have sex, or do you want to play a game?"

"I don't think you can call it sex when I don't give you permission to touch me at all!!! IT'S CALLED RAPE!!!" I could tell that he was angry because the more he talked, the louder he got. He was fuming mad, but behind the anger I could see the scared little boy from the circus.

"Well then, I think we should do both. Or maybe I could go and do it to your little friend in the special room." Dick's fear took over and she knew she had gotten to him.

"Please don't. I will comply. We can have sex, and we can play games, just please! Don't hurt Wally!"

"Okay my little pet. Let's play a game first." I was already enraged at this woman. It only got worse once she grabbed a knife.

"You are my treasure. Don't ever forget that!" she carved an x onto him but he refused to cry. Suddenly Dick screamed and so did Manhunter.

"Aggggggg! We need to leave now!" we were pulled out of his memory and everybody looked worriedly at us

"Guys, we're going to go back in after Martian Manhunter is okay. In the meantime, we will all try to wake Dick up." everybody nodded and left. I looked down at my oldest son.

"Don't worry Dickie. We will find a way to wake you and we will help you get your life back when you do." I said this as a year rolled down my face.

I refused to wipe it away.
