         desperation  had  been  the  thought  ECHOING  through  his  skull  just  as  crimson  eagerly  pumped  through  his  veins.  as  the  wind  seemed  to  carry  his  aching  bones  up,  up,  &  up  to  the  rooftop,  dick  felt  his  stomach  turn  into  a  cage  for  butterflies,  &  wondered  if  he  could  even  get  to  the  location  without  throwing  up.  his  saturated  indigo  eyes  still  retained  the  gift  of  sight,  but  they  seemed  distant-  not  all  there.  it  was  as  if  he  was  watching  a  pocket-watch  belonging  to  an  illusionist,  though  a  far  more  sinister,  MALEVOLENT  force  was  at  work.  grief.  sorrow.  remorse.  failure.  ❛  they’re  dead.  batman.  &  the  robin  i  trained.   ❜
             tears  tug  at  his  eyes,  but  with  a  determined  gaze  they  fall,  silently,  dick  refusing  to  let  their  presence  be  known.  there  was  no  white  flag  DANCING  with  the  gotham-stained  air,  &  determination  started  rising  in  his  throat.  like  hell  he’d  surrender.  gotham  still  had  people  willing  to  fight-  &  even  if  his  mentor  &  little  brother  were  dead,  so  what?  he’d  fight  like  HELL  to  still  save  other  lives.  ❛  i  hope  you  didn’t  think  that’d  make  me  give  up.  i’ll  never  give  up.  &  i  wanted  to  let  you  know-  you  better  be  prepared,  because  i’m  gonna  fight  for  gotham.  &  stand  up  to  people  like  you.  ❜

            ❛  well look at THAT.  ❜
slade didn’t bother SECURING the area. didn’t think twice in in SURVEYING the hero before leaping down from his PERCHED position over a billboard. as soon as his eye had caught sight of the familiar form, there was no DOUBT to his intel. 
there’s an EXCITEMENT rushing through him as he stands facing his old, for LACK of a better word, ENEMY. but an ENEMY has the mercenary lusting for BLOOD and DESTRUCTION. GRAYSON ? hell –he’s just FUN.
           ❛  a little BIRDIE told me you’d be in town. LOOKING for ME. didn’t have to come all the way out HERE, you know. you know how to GET IN TOUCH. but i’ll SAVE us both from hearing THAT explanation. tell me, dick. what has you so DESPERATE that you need ME ?  ❜

my old friend, it’s been a long while, but you’ve got my interest again. how the years pass and the bodies fall. did you know that there are only eight like you in the world, bearing my mark? i’m here because you’re right. the empress was different. this time, you can’t just fade away into the shadows. there will be consequences. your story is close to ending, and even you can’t escape it. but what ending will you make for yourself? i’m here to give you one last gift, daud. it’s a mystery. one that starts with a name.

        ‘  when  i  was  with  the  circus,  we  didn’t  have  much.  it  was  hard  to  compete  with  dvds  &  big-screen  tvs.  other  kids  had  cartoons  and  movies  to  watch.  all  i  had  was  a  permanently  borrowed  library  book.  the  merry  adventures  of  robin  hood.  on  rainy  days,  or  while  waiting  to  leave,  i  read  that  book  over  &  over.  heroes.  villains.  sword  fighting.  arrow  shooting.  &  a  hero  who  worked  for  the  little  guy.  the  poor  guy.  like  me.  like  my  family.  ‘
