Previously In Faded Bird's Memory

"I promise we will get Dick back. Come on little bird, its time." I nodded into his chest before feeling another embrace from the back, turning slightly to see it was Jason. 

------------

"Scarecrow, how close is he?"

A little dot, blinking every so often had been moving on the screen, down allies, yards not that there was much green in the city of Gotham.

"2.34 Miles, You know what I need Slade." A audible sign echoed through the eerie room.

"The boy yes but the other as bait."

"Ooohhh can I please help, please Slade? Can I make something go boom, or what about carving a nice smile into his face?!" A cackled cough sounded before silence again.

"Not yet, but very soon you can have your fun."

The dot stoped moving.

"In position."

"Very good, now for phase one to begin. Renegade cause some havoc, I need the big bad bat and his meddling birds." Static filled the coms.
"Roger that." 

Come out, come out where ever you are, Batman.

--------------

"Cause some havoc, I need the big bad bat and his meddling birds." Looking around my location, I was positioned right around the Cafe from earlier. Many people hung out or even went on a stroll, it would suck say if something bad happened.

"Roger that." I said before pulling out the detonator Joker gave me shortly after the plan was explained and pressing it.

 The cafe exploded as the fire ate the interior pealing away the paint revealing the old rickety beams holding up the foundation. The flames began to heat the exterior, burning the white shudders till they were stricken with black. The mint green now turned into a dark brown with singe marks, making scars. 

The people in it screamed, they echoed through the cold air. Cries for help and for him. The Batman to come save them. Witnesses near by watch in horror as some desperately raced in trying to save many but come out with few. 

For some reason I to asked for the Batman to save them, or at least like I feel like I did. Slade had explained that Batman had hurt me, and put me in a coma. Waking up from that coma cause me to loose many memories of the past. Dr. Johnathan Crane or Scarecrow was coming up with an antidote for my loss in memories. 

But for me I feel as if though Slade doesn't want me to remember. The boys from earlier, Slade scolded me about many times. I slowly reach for my back self consciously remembering the training sessions and whippings for disobedience of this. Another question for my past life.

A black figure flew by with three little birds, time for phase one. Slowly hoping down from the stairs, I walk to the ally way and sit at the corner watching as the pair run around trying to suffocate the flames, trying to save the few left in the cafe before tending them to the ambulances. Starting to get bored I realize the little one has been sitting farther back for the main three, now is my chance.

Slipping into the shadows I pull my disks out before calculating how far and hard I need to throw from my current position. Finally sitting still I throw it, watching as it glides through the air and  hits the ground next to him causing him to turn around. I step into the light sending a wild smile.

---------

I watched as Drake, Todd and Father raced in and out of the flaming Cafe. I was standing far away making sure no body interfered in any way. Something hit the ground next to me, catching my attention away from the chaos. My eyes widened as I inspect the item, it was a disk similar to Father and I's. Looking up and seeing him, making chills run down my spine. Renegade was back but the worse thing isn't cause he started the fire, it was that he was smiling.

"What's the matter kid, you look like you've seen a ghost." He said laughing darkly before turning around and running farther into the ally way. I don't know why, maybe it was the way he said it, or just the fact that I needed to know that sent me running after him. My feet carried me swiftly into the ally way chasing him through every corner and turn.

"Damien NO!" I ignored them as I continued to chase him, him into a dead end with no one there.

Where the hell did he go? Looking around, he couldn't have just Harry Pottered it through the wall. Or even vaulted up the brick building, maybe he's a ghost.

"Looking for someone?" A low voice called. Quickly sending myself around to see Renegade, with a few others dressed around the same way as Slade.

"Who are you?! I demand you te-tell me!" He starts to laugh again before walking to me.

" Oh Robin Robin, Robin. You ought to know better to run off without help. You never know, you could get hurt ooor even I don't know kidnapped." He lurched forward snapping his hand on my face, the others holding my arms. 

I was getting tired, no I cant I have to get help. But the more I struggled the more hazy everything got.
"Shhh little birdie, don't say a word, brothers gunna find you a new little bird." The voice echoed before the darkness.

--------------

As we loaded the sleeping birdie onto the truck, we had some uninvited guess. The Batman and his two little companions raced into the ally way.

"What the hell!?" Hood yelled. Red Robing stopped next to the Batman who was very much looking for his missing counterpart.

"Aww missing something? Wait do I have mustard on my chin, oh I knew I shouldn't have had that hotdog. Damn."

"Renegade its time to stop! Give us Robin now!" The gruff voice yelled. An audible thud came from my left.

"Sorry Batman but under my orders, he can't do that" Slade slowly walked to my side before looking at the truck.  Reaching up he pressed his com.

"Lets go boys, get the cargo out of here. I have business to attend to." The truck turned to life as the man sped down the ally and into the dark city to their marked randevue. 

"That was a mistake." Hood said as he raced forward, time to kick some ass. 

Swiftly I threw my leg out tripping him before grabbing his hair and ramming his face into my knee knocking him out. Red Robin was next as Batman raced for Slade. Red Robin threw a fist, almost glancing me as I grabbed his arm throwing him into the wall behind me. Slade was in a hand to hand combat with Batman.

Smiling I raced forward kicking the bat square in the chest sending him flying into some near by pipes.
"Ooof thats gotta hurt, think he'll be feeling that in the mornin." I said smiling, getting cut short as a leg made its way to my side, making an audible crack. Broken Rib, turning around to see Red Robin was up and at them again. Throwing a punch making connection to his face, making a five second window open for me to crash my leg down ultimately breaking his leg. Making both little sidekicks out. 

But on the other hand Slade and Batman were still in close hand to hand. Time to help. Hoping to his side we traded blown's. Throwing a punch, missing his head as he grabbed my arm throwing me into a set of pipes from earlier. The wind leaving my starving lungs, as I get up I pry  on loose bar before racing up and slide blowing Batman on the leg. Making him fall to his knees as Slade spin kicks into his head. 

Slade backs away slowly as Batman gets up holding his side. We were all worse for wear, the other two finally getting up and going to Batman.

"I have to go bats, but I leave you with an offering." Thats when I heard it, the audible click of a loaded gun. Turning I see the barrel pointed at me. Batman and the sidekicks also shocked.

"Slade? I thoug-" My words cut as three shots echoed out. Slowly looking down and watch as blood poured out of the now three fresh wounds. Looking back up to see the horror stricken faces of the hero's and wide grin of Slade.

"Dad?" Not understand why I said it. I felt like a river of memories came and hit me all at once. I didn't even see Slade leave. Batman raced to me but I had already fallen backwards expecting to hit the ground, but nothing. I glance up to see Hood but this time with no hood but his actual face, as well as the others.

Coughing as the sudden jerk of motions and hot pain shooting through my body. I don't know why but I trusted them in a way that I didn't quite to Slade. Reach up and pulling off the mask, I didn't care anymore if they saw emotions.

"RICHARD!" Now Jason said in awe as he grabbed my hard, small tears fell landing on me. They were happy? Why cause I'm dying? They are winning or is it the fact that they know me? Pain shot harder causing me to clench my jaw. 

"Pain, help, please." I said as well as I could, watching as my vision blurred and the blotches moving all around. My pain and body seemingly now numb. Is this death?
